no clue what I'm doing

[alex-loves-food]

i feel like will and nico would share anything. food, hoodies, their bed, ANYTHING. straws, cutlery

i think that after the tartarus quest, they've got more intimate about stuff, like they're almost the same person in one. and i think that's BEAUTIFUL!

Me looking for a Nico di Angelo post which isn't about his romantic orientation or shipping him with others:

[starlightshadowsworld]

Headcanon:

I love the idea of Percy encouraging Jason to do little rebellions. That he gets him to show up 10 minutes late to sword practice and to have a bit of a lie in.

Nothing earth shattering or anything but for someone who was essentially taught any deviation from perfection was life or death, it’s a lot.

Percy wants to show Jason that’s not true and that he can be imperfect. The world won’t end if he deviates from the script and he’s not a person for it either. Jason is just a kid so Percy gives him the space to be one.

And the second Jason falters and says this is all too much for him is when Percy stops. He doesn’t push him nor does he even think to ridicule him for it. He helps Jason fix everything and reassures him that it’s okay.

It breaks Percy’s heart to watch Jason fall apart because he performed slightly worse than usual and genuinely think he’s going to be torn apart for it. But he feels hopeful at the progress Jason makes no matter how small.

One day he’ll convince Jason he’s more than just his camps pawn.

Does Sally Jackson ever flinch when her husband Paul raises his hand to grab something from the top shelf

Does she stop breathing when his arms lace around her to hug her from behind

Does she have to hold back a panic attack when she sees minotaur costumes on Halloween

Do they make her feel like she can’t breathe, like its hands are still wrapped around her neck, squeezing

Did her postpartum night-terrors wake the baby every night

Does she cry when Estelle spends the night at a friend’s house, worried she’ll never come home again

Does she cover her ears during thunderstorms

Does a tear roll down her cheek when she drives by an airport

Does she prefer to strain her eyes over getting reading glasses, because wearing them reminds her too much of being gaslit as a child

Can she even let Estelle attend public school, or have Percy’s stories about cannibal English teachers finally gotten to her

How does Paul comfort her

How could Paul comfort her

This wasn’t his world. He only half-understood it, and he wanted to understand it For Her.

Does Paul insist on cooking because he doesn’t want Sally to see him as the scumbag who made her do everything

Do Percy’s demonic enemies send Paul nightmares, trying to convince him to abandon his family

Does he brush his teeth in the car after a night out with friends, worried Sally will recoil at the scent of alcohol on his breath again

Does he keep (what Percy assures him is) a celestial bronze gun in his classroom, in case he needs to protect a student he suspects to be a demigod, even though all he can see is a watergun

Does the terror-stricken look in Sally’s eyes when he accidentally asks her for something—that Gabe always wanted—eat him up inside

Has he ever had to kill someone the mist made him think was his friend, in order to protect a demigod in his school

Do Sally’s nails dig into his back when she’s having nightmares again

Can he ever get the mental image of Percy killing Kelly right in front of him out of his head

Did Paul put Estelle back to bed at every midnight cry, to make sure Sally knew she wouldn’t be alone this time

Does she require hourly check-ins when he leaves the house, to make sure he hasn’t been kidnapped by any queens or giants, and that he hadn’t left her like Poseidon did

That he wasn’t just another tidal wave that would crash over her and wash away; that he would be her rock in the hurricane. The shield to her sword, a loving father to their children.

Percy: I have a plan

Annabeth: that makes me nervous

Percy: me too honestly

[belowzeroice]

If I had a nickel for every time I got attached to a blonde, glasses wearing man with the last name Grace who floats a lot and had memory problems because of a powerful woman and has a sassy engineer best friend and is made to do things against his will and is from around the Bay Area

I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot!

But it’s weird it happened twice.

I want to put percy jackson in a jar and send him on fun adventures everyday but I know that's not what he would want so I have to sigh and let him go

[aaaaalice]

Okay so I've been thinking for a while about chastity oaths in PJO and yes, they're definitely a part of Greek mythology and it would be weird to, I dunno, have demigod children of Hestia running around with no explanation. But they also stem from patriarchal ideas about sex devaluing a woman, especially if she isn't married. And the thought has been bouncing around in my head but I finally got how I would approach it:

It's established that Camp Jupiter would hate Annabeth and other Athena kids because they don't like the brain-baby loophole. Have Percy hear this and be like "But I'm also the product of a broken chastity oath. My dad promised not to bone any mortals but here I am! Yeah, he's still allowed to have sex with his wife but shouldn't breaking his marriage vows mean I'm doubly bad? And what about Jason? Jupiter broke the same vows, but you guys love Jason, right? Why is Athena making a baby out of her thoughts an unforgivable violation of her oath to not have sex but Jupiter and Poseidon breaking an oath on the River Styx just gods being gods?"

[hauntedwizardtree]

When Percy hears Annabeth scream when they are attacked by Hephaestus’s metal spiders, something inside him snaps awake, and he literally throws himself between Annabeth and the spiders, pushing her into the boat as he uses his own body as a shield

he can’t lose her again

something inside Annabeth starts to wake up during the first camp fire that Percy attends, when he accidentally mesmerizes everyone when he sings, even though he was doing it quietly, carefully, having recognized from his earliest years how his voice can be used as a weapon.

her beloved husband had finally come to join her

(Dionysus watches this story play out while drinking a Pepsi, his purple eyes bright, wondering when the inevitable tragedy will strike and tear these two apart once more—Chiron is none the wiser to the two reborn souls in front of them)

and then, of course the three Questers eventually enter the underworld, and Orpheus and Eurydice find themselves stumbling along in the fields of Asphodel with a satyr, a bag strapped to Orpheus’s back that feels as though it carries the weight of divinity, moments before disaster nearly strikes.

For Percy Jackson who’s a reincarnation of Rhea, here’s an idea for even more angst.

The gods didn’t find out Percy was Rhea until AFTER the events of the whole camp Jupiter fiasco.

They had unknowingly put their poor mother though THE WRINGER SO MANY DAM TIMES, though she did get her first friends out of it (her, annabeth and Grover are ABSOLUTELY a trio), and they didn’t even know until after she has been throughly traumatised, scarred and hurt! OUHH THE GUILT.

Ow. Lovely idea but also ow.

to make myself feel a tiny bit better, Percy figures out she’s the reincarnation of Rhea very early, like, before she goes on her first quest (she does not consider herself the child of Poseidon, but still considers him her child, but she’s able to play along for now, if it keeps him and his siblings safe). But after sensing Kronos in her dreams she keeps it hidden, not wanting to tip him off, and then be used as a weapon against her children.

this does not prevent her from being thoroughly traumatized though…mostly because of Kronos. But that’s nothing new.

She was planning to tell the children the truth after Kronos was sent to Tartarus, but it just never felt like the right time, and then when she sensed the new great prophecy was coming into play, got kidnapped, and had her memory wiped…

well, perhaps it was just as well, Gaia would not have spared Rhea any more than she would spare Rhea’s children.

The Kronides are all extremely upset when they find out the truth, several turning to glare at Hera and Poseidon as if it was all their fault for what Mother has gone through.

Rhea does the Mom Voice though and shuts that down, taking charge despite Zeus’s confused protests because if the last few years have taught her anything, it’s that no matter how grown up her children appear, they have been deeply traumatized by their childhoods and need her to guide them on a better path than they’ve been on.

She’s been reading a LOT of parenting books in her spare time.

Rhea is absolutely going to be using the shit she’d been through to make sure her children and grandchildren all actually take care of their mortal descendants properly from now on.

"Reyna is her own person, she doesn't owe Nico anything and has the autonomy to join the Hunt" and "Reyna joining the Hunt was a very poor writing choice" are two statements which can and should co-exist, actually.

a sea turtle hatching and fighting its way to the sea but its brothers in arms are falling all around him under the threat of the gulls flying around them so he prays. little three year old percy playing in the waves stiffens up as if struck by lightning and marches his little wobbly legs over to where the birds are hunting and he shoos them off and helps protect the turtles as they reach the water. he only gets into a physical fight with one (1) of the birds and bears a scar on his cheek from its beak
