My favorite canon Leo x Piper scene is when Leo, Frank, and Hazel come back from Camp Fish Blood and Piper jumps ship to swim out to Leo to make sure heâs okay and kiss him on the cheek
She jumped off the ship. Swam over to Leo. And kissed him on the cheek.
Canonically!
They should have been endgame Iâm telling you.
If I ever say âxyz non-canon ship had this cute moment in canon that can be read into romanticallyâ I am well aware they are not canon. But they do interact in canon, and I am allowed to selectively incorporate it into my fanon.
I know Liper is not canon. I also know that Piper canonically jumped ship, paying no mind to Hazel or Frank, and kissed Leo on the cheek, AND I AM GOING TO RANT ABOUT IT IN A ROMANTIC CONTEXT.
There is no need to be all âum, theyâre just friendsâ. Yes, canonically, but not within the bounds of my fanon.
And it especially doesnât mean you tell me âthey have no chemistry and would only work as a throuple with Jasonâ because you are inciting a ship war and thats not normal.
THANK YOU. I can kind of understand how modern fandoms somehow don't understand the concept of shipping (romantically) whatever the heck you want despite canon but for a fandom as old as pjo to do it is insane. Ever since reading the HOO series for the first time liper was legit the only ship that ever shone for me and that had never changed (and oh how the throuple thing never made sense to me)
Percy calling Hades and Kronos "uncle" and "grandpa", but calling his own dad "sir" is the most Percy thing ever, and l'm here for itđđđ
Does anyone think about how Percy Jackson maybe the only main character who is also the fandom's favorite and most popular character?
yo is that telemarketing prince of ithaca
Super long ao3 comments that retell what happened in the work like dissecting what they read fuels my fanfic motivation
Writer culture is not being 100% satisfied with a chapter, but posting it anyway, otherwise you'll just keep editing away at it ad infinitum instead of starting to work on the next one.

Hi! This is adorable! Just wanted to share with you all!!
We all remember this sceneâŠ. First dance I believe.

This fandom is freaking exausting
So, you have to kill off a character đȘđ€
1. Silence > Scream â Donât let anyone shout âNOOO!â like itâs a bad soap opera. â The gut-punch comes from stillness. A friend realizing the body isnât moving. A hand slipping from theirs. A breath that doesnât come back. â Example: âHe waited for the next rise of her chest. It never came.â
2. Subtle Details, Not Monologues â Avoid characters delivering five-minute speeches about how much the dead one meant. Thatâs cheese-drenched exposition. â Instead: show someone trying to tie their shoes with shaking hands. Or refusing to leave the body. Or pocketing some tiny keepsake.
3. Physicality Over Words â Grief is ugly in the body before itâs in the mouth. â Numb fingers. Stomach drop. Knees buckling against a wall. â The best line might be no line at allâjust the sound of someone struggling to breathe.
4. Aftermath, Not Just Death â Donât zoom out as soon as the heart monitor flatlines. The power is in the next five minutes. â How do the survivors react differently? The sarcastic one goes silent. The stoic one cracks. The optimist starts cleaning blood off their hands like if they scrub hard enough, it wonât be real.
5. Tone, Not Tropes â Kill clichĂ© phrases: âDonât leave me,â âStay with me,â âNo, God please no!â â Replace with something raw and specific: - âYou were supposed to outlive us all, you stubborn bastard.â - âDonât you dare make me the one to tell her.â
Fantasy Guide to the Servant Dynamic
I often get asks about the relationship between servants and those they serve and how the relationship develops over time or what's appropriate between servant and employer at any given time. Many period dramas do get this right but a lot don't and send mixed signals to the audience about the true nature of the relationship between servant and employer.
There's a Strict Hierarchy
This is one inescapable concept that often gets forgotten in a lot of modern media. The relationship between servant and employer is a hierarchal one, the employer and servant are not on the same level socially.
Servants will always address their employer by their title or by sir/ma'am - at least in public and if there is any deviation of the rule, it's in private and only at the invitation of the employer themselves. Employers in turn would use the appropriate title for the servant in question (I outline these here). This done very well in Downton Abbey, especially when Tom marries into the family and they struggle with calling him 'Tom' rather than Branson.
A servant would never greet their employer informally or answer back. This is inaccurately portrayed in the exchange between Mrs Russell and Turner in The Gilded Age.
Servants would also not address their employer directly without being addressed first. This is very single meeting.
Servants would not walk in step with their employer or sit in their presence. They would walk two or three steps behind at all times and only sit when invited. They would not touch their employer without leave either. This is done well in Queen Charlotte, with Brimsley.
A servant would have to obey orders from another member of their employer's family or their guest but only within reason. This is shown in The Gilded Age the lady's maid Adelheid is borrowed by Mrs Russell from her daughter for a time when she fires her own maid.
Above and Beyond
Some employers might expect more from their servants that aren't exactly in the job description. It was understood in service that sometimes you would be asked to tackle things not in one's paygrade. In Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury's maid Coral helps her lady lie about the death of Lord Danbury to allow her time to gather herself and appear more upset. For example:
A lady's maid might act as messenger between a pair of lovers.
A footman might lie to the mistress about the whereabouts of his master (with the master's approval of course)
A butler might procure some less than legal party favours for a bash his lord and lady are throwing.
A guardsman might aid their charge in escaping the house/palace for a night of fun.
No matter what, a servant is expected to go above and beyond without complaint. The response to "jump" should nearly always be "how high". However, if there is a strange or harmful request, a servant had recourse to ask a higher ranking servant or employer whether or not they should agree to the request.
That being said, servants are people at the end of the day and might have scruples. Often, servants were far more conservative than their employers but more often that not, they would swallow their morals to do the job that is needed. This is accurately portrayed in Downton Abbey when Mrs Bird complains about Mrs Crawley asking her to wait on Ethel, a former prostitute, leading to Mrs Crawley to dismiss her.
Bonding
Because some servants work closely with an employer, relationships often evolve between employer and servant. There must be a certain level of trust between servant and employer or else the house would fall apart. Bonds do form but these bonds don't interrupt the hierarchy or the professional relationship - at least in public. For example:
A lady's maid or a valet might act as confidant to their mistress/master, keeping their secrets. This is seen in Downton Abbey where Anna and Bates act as confidants with Lady Mary and Lord Grantham respectively.
A kitchen maid may slip the children of the house an odd treat in defiance of their parents or governess.
The staff might chip in for a gift for a beloved employer on an anniversary or special occasion.
The same is said for employers, who would also show favour by gift giving or promotion.
A loyal servant might be left some money on the death of their master/mistress.
A retiring lady's maid might be granted a gift from her mistress.
Employers might listen to the advice of their servants or servants may approach employers in times of difficulty. An employer might see a servant's child educated well or might pay a doctors bill, but these are kindnesses. Because there is a certain level of proximity, certain familiarities can grow but it is unlikely that either will consider it 'friendship' exactly.
Boundaries
However, there are boundaries between servant and employer. Even in cases of familiarity and good will, a servant and employer would not meddle in each other's affairs. For example:
A servant might dislike an employer's guest but would not refuse to serve or wait on them. This is depicted inaccurately in Downton Abbey's Christmas special, where the butler Stowel refuses to serve former chauffeur Tom Branson.
An employer in some eras could not deny a servant the right to get married.
A servant may be expected to be available at any given time and come running at the sound of the bell. But if a servant is on a day off or ill, an employer can't punish them for not being available when knowing beforehand they wouldn't be.
A good servant knows when they are needed and when to disappear. They should not linger if it is clear they shouldn't be here.
A servant might see their employer engaging in harmful or immoral behaviours but would not have the right to criticise or inform anybody.
A servant might be tasked with dealing with their employer in a state of undress (but this never crossed gender, a valet or a butler would handle a naked male employer and only a female servant would deal with a lady's intimates) and while seeing them in this state, would not look or make a big deal over it.
The professional boundary should not be breached on either side of the divide. A servant wouldn't approach an employer with personal issues nor would an employer welcome the servant's unauthorised counsel.
The Downsides
This is an uneven system most times and the employer does wield a lot of power. Servants are in this dynamic because they need to survive and provide a life for themselves so often they stick out bad situations rather than risk not being able to find a job again. Servants in some eras could be physically or verbally abused without recourse. Some servants often faced harassment and sexual assault from other staff, guests and/or employers. Servants desperate to keep their positions would often keep quiet about their circumstances in order to retain their place. This is accurately portrayed in Outlander: Blood of my Blood, with Mrs Porter and Julia, along with many other possible unnamed women and girls.
Announcing the Reylo Fanfiction Anthology: Ten Year Anniversary Celebration
Dear Reylo writers,
With the 10 year anniversaries of both The Force Awakens approaching on December 15, 2025, and of the Reylo Fanfiction Anthology on March 10, 2026, the RFFA Mod Team invites you to join us for a year long celebration of Reylo fanfiction.
Ten Years of Reylo Fanfiction will consist of 4 events over the next 14 months, beginning this November 1, 2025 with a Flash Fiction challenge. We invite everyone interested to write as many flash fics (no longer than 2,000 words) as they can. We will share the AO3 collection to add them to, as well as several prompts you can use to ideate, in November.
Next, we will host our annual St. Valentine's Day gift fic exchange! Please be on the lookout for signups coming in December 2025!
We are so grateful for the many #RFFA writers who have participated in our events over the past ten years. To honor you, we'll be re-promoing all of the fanfiction in our various events to breathe some fresh life into them.
Lastly, starting in October 2026, we invite you to post workslonger than 20,000 words! The AO3 collection will be shared next October. You can, of course, begin writing now, but please don't post until the collection opens. Unlike our past Anthologies, we will not be editing and vetting fics.
We look forward to writing and sharing the love of Reylo fanfiction together over the next year!
Yours in hope like the sun,
The RFFA Mod Team (@aionimica, @mnemehoshiko, @politicalmamaduck, @reylotrashcompactor, @shmisolo, and @thewayofthetrashcompactor)
Writer culture is rereading positive comments on your fics for motivation like you're taking shots
