I cant stop thinking about @caffeinatedflumadiddlebutpjo AU where Percy pretends to be Aphrodites son. So here’s some fun headcanons and random bullshit
— Aphrodite straight knowing Percy aint her kid from the get go but thinks this is the funniest shit thats happened in centuries and also she like bullying Poseidon about it
Poseidon: *boasting about some bullshit*
Aphrodite: Omg! Look Percy sent me a picture of him and his siblings winning capture the flag and said “We did it Mom!!!”. Isn’t that just darling Poseidon?
Poseidon:…
— Also, PERCY IN A DRESS! A SKIRT! A CROPTOP! Him throwing the concept of gendered clothing out the fucking window!
Aphrodite: Your son’s gnc as fuck
Poseidon: YOURE INSANE
— Percy keeps using his powers and everyone’s like “Aphrodite wtf is up with this one kid of yours” and she’s just like “Oh he takes after is grandmother is all.”
— SIREN PERCY! Its like charmspeak but way stronger. When he sings, people are drawn in and completely ignore whatever was going on before—they just want to get closer and hear more of his voice. Also he doesn’t need to sing, he can still use it while talking; lace his words with power, getting anyone to listen to him, drop their guard, and agree with whatever he’s saying. His voice tends to catch attention
— Percy worried that he isn’t enough of a child of Aphrodite and that people are going to figure him out. His solution: flirt like his life depends on it. Hes very bad at first but that doesn’t stop him and its just becomes his natural instinct. In danger? try flirting!
When he start to really develop his skills rip to everyone
— I hc that Aphrodite is a pretty decent parent, mainly bc she doesn’t give a shit about the ancient laws or whatever and regularly visits her kids and helps them out. Also when she gets angry she tends to shift back to a war goddess. So…
Aphrodite Areia on her way to the underworld to beat Hades whole shit in after hearing he trapped her son in a dungeon:
Hades: You dare come into MY domain and—
Aphrodite: And YOU dare use a potential love interest of my son’s to threw him in your freaky damp ass dungeon!
Hades: PERSEUS ISNT YOUR SON!
Aphrodite: I’LL CASTRATE YOU WITH MY LOUBOUTINS!
Persephone: How’d you even get in here anyway?
Aphrodite: Huh? Oh this isn’t my first time breaking into an underworld, though this one was way easier
Hades: What? When did you break in before?
Aphrodite: Ugh I hate talking to you so much I almost wish I never left the cradle. ANYWAY, I cursed you with ED until you apologize to Percy so have fun with that loser
— Post Reveal whenever camp has any games Percy always goes with Cabin 10, much to everyone’s dismay
Frank, who wants Percy on his team: Its not fair that you always get him, hes not even your real brother
Drew: Wow, just because Percy’s adopted he’s not our “real” brother? That’s seriously fucked up Zhang.
Lacy: Y-Yeah! Percy’s the best big brother!
Percy: 🥺
— Poseidon trying to appeal to Percy via his adoptive siblings. Whenever someone from Cabin 10 is on a quest they almost always get some watery help at some point
Drew: Best part of having Percy as a brother is that Sea Beard keeps helping us on our quests to get Percy to love him, like if I need to got anywhere all I need to do is go to a river and say how much Percy must be so worried about me, his beloved sister, and then suddenly a very convenient boat drifts a shore
Lacy: Oh he helped me get across a lake by giving me a hippocampus!
Mitchell: One time my group was being chased by a monster by a river and an huge sea serpent jumped out, ate it, then disappeared
Valentina: Apollo gave us a ride to California
Mitchell: Whats that gotta do with anything?
Valentina: I don’t know, he just said to tell people especially Percy, and was all “Oh and tell him how handsome and awesome I looked saving you” it was weird
Drew:…Anyway so yeah we got it pretty easy
— Pre-Reveal, Annabeth taking Percy aside after seeing the way Poseidon’s focus is almost always on him:
Okay thats it, thats all my bullshit for now. Go check out @caffeinatedflumadiddlebutpjo who first came up with this AU
