Drew my interpretation of Amphitrite and her children: Kymopoleia “Kym”, Rhode, Triton, and Benthesikyme “Benny”

Percy desperately trying to dry his hair after a shower and the water is just. Not. Coming. Out.

It gets to the point that Sally’s hairdryer isn’t even making it damp - no really. There’s still water dripping out of his hair three hours later.

He has to pray at some point - but not to his father. No, this was too embarrassing and Poseidon would laugh at him and tease him relentlessly

He would go for one of his sisters or Amphitrite but he didn’t want to bother them over something so stupid and utterly ridiculous

His last option? His annoying and entitled brother

Triton

Oh for fuck sake

I could… use some help. You see… my hair is wet - which like, isn’t the biggest issue. It just. Won’t dry.

Triton pops into the bathroom moments later. “What are you-“ Triton’s mouth snaps shut a moment later, barely concealed humor in a thin lined lip.

“Little brother, it seems you have caught the Gills.”

That can’t be a thing. “That’s not a thing.”

Triton only hums, lifting a hand to Percy’s hair and running it through a couple of times. Each pass Percy can feel the water receding. “Drink some sea water. You will be well in a few days.”

Then he’s gone.

[months later]

Percy, visiting for the day: so like, what the fuck is ‘Gills’ and how the fuck do you catch it

Poseidon, placing the Atlantis Newspaper down on the table: the what?

Percy: the. The ‘gills’??

Amphitrite: Dearest, what do you speaking of?

Percy, locking eyes with a humored Triton: You fucker-

Triton: I know nothing *dashed out of dining room*

Percy, fallowing: YOU CUNT- GET BACK HERE

Amphitrite: Should we be concerned?

Poseidon, picking up the paper again, shrugging: They are getting along the way brothers do

Amphitrite: Which you would know so much about.

Poseidon, grinning: Why of course. As of now, for instance, my dear baby brother is looking for his bolt, too embarrassed to say anything after least time being so soon, and my older brother is losing his ever loving mind because he can’t find a paper containing a bill larger than forty zeros.

Underutilized stuff from canon (that I wish would show up more in the books and in fics):

The fact that Poseidon's kids can communicate telepathically when they're underwater

We need help, I thought. Yes. Tyson’s voice, loud and clear in my head. I looked over at him, startled. I’d heard Nereids and other water spirits speak to me underwater before, but it never occurred to me … Tyson was a son of Poseidon. We could communicate with each other. Rainbow, Tyson said. I nodded, then closed my eyes and concentrated, adding my voice to Tyson’s: RAINBOW! We need you!

From The Sea of Monsters

(they're The brothers ever, your honor)

I find this concept really funny. Can they do it privately? Could they communicate like this in front of other sea creatures (or even Poseidon himself) without them hearing it? 'Cause this could make family reunions really funny.

Just imagine 8 different conversations going on at the same time but most of it is happening telepathically and very little is said out loud. The kids are fighting but Poseidon can't prove it yet. Triton just said a bad word but Percy can't call him out on it bc he said only in their private chat. Tyson keeps giggling out of the blue bc of something his brothers said but he's supposed to be pretending they're not using their powers to communicate bc Poseidon said they should stop doing it and just talk out loud. Poseidon, however, is very much using his powers to chat with Percy in secret, bc he's afraid of pissing off Amphitrite. Little does he know Amphitrite is also chatting with Percy in private and they're getting along well enough, tho she likes to keep the pretense of not liking him to keep Poseidon anxious. The conversation that is happening out loud is getting increasingly more confusing as they keep answering stuff that was only said telephatically, answering telepathically stuff that was said out loud, taking too much time to reply to stuff bc they got distracted by the telephatic chat, and bc they keeping forgetting what they were talking about to begin with.

cooking up a pjo au fic in which sally is also in a relationship with amphitrite and she accepts the proposal of moving to atlantis (possibly be made immortal and unaging too) because amphitrite was the one to ask her that and since she understands much more the nuances of sally's life (or at least better than poseidon ever could) she really does make it sound like a "we try it, if it doesn't work out, you go back to the surface and that's all" instead of a "well you're wellbeing is totally dependent on if you remain my favourite or not" that the og poseidon proposal bordered on.

so down the line when percy comes along they are moving like these mothers:

for him (sally being olympia and amphitrite lucilla)

Percy dealing with Nerites

Percy: dad how do I plan a date?

Poseidon: go ask your brother.

Percy: I love Tyson and Triton but I don’t think they’ll have any good advice.

Poseidon: I meant Anteros.

Percy: who?

Poseidon: Anteros. The god of mutual love. He’s your half brother. Well sort of.

Percy: sorta?

Poseidon: me and Nerites’s relationship caused him to poof into existence.

Percy: who the fuck is Nerites?!

Poseidon: my charioteer.

Amphitrite: his boy toy.

Poseidon: honey please.

Percy: I’m leaving.

————————————————————————

Anteros: hello brother!

Percy: no!

Anteros: please… I’ll help you with a romantic date…

Percy: fine…

Anteros: so my papa will pick you up and…

Percy: nope!!! I don’t need to meet my father’s concubine!!!

tell us more about Annabeth princess of Atlantis please

my pleasure 🙂‍↕️

after the second titan war when atlantis was destroyed, poseidon sees annabeth get rewarded as the architect of olympus and knows that she’s his son's dearest best friend and probable girlf- oh, definitely his girlfriend, and he invites her down to atlantis to bond with her under the guise of fixing up his palace and he really enjoys her architect mind so he keeps inviting her down to fix it up and the sea fam adopt her like immediately LMAO so she's literally just poseidon's daughter in law despite the fact that she and percy have been officially dating for five (5) minutes. to the point that he just drops the "in law" thing and cares for her like she’s really his daughter

but as for the actual princess thing, she’s like the peoples princess. the seas princess. she and percy aren’t married so she doesn’t really have a title per se but she’s their princess 🙏🙏 she’s wary of the sea creatures - esp sharks since they get a bad rep - but percy helps ease her into it and since sharks are apparently just ocean puppies (in percy’s words) then she’s soon playing with the sharks like they’re dogs and she is having the time of her life.

annabeth with her talons meeting mermaids with their talons and they’re just like. “ah. we’re the same. do you also enjoy tearing men apart?” and annabeth (per my linked headcanon) just goes “hah. yeah. 😁” LMAOOO “i actually enjoy tearing the prince apart 😁” and the mermaids just “!! he is a formidable opponent!!” and she has their respect immediately

ouuuu also nereids being personifications of nature and almost reflecting or responding to percy’s emotions being like annabeth’s biggest fans and fawning over her and she ends up affecting undersea culture with like her clothes and her hair and her vocabulary to the point where the nereids start copying her and mimicking her which only adds to the whole people’s princess thing. plus like…when else are you gonna see a non-sea connected person in atlantis? they either get other deities or poseidon’s brood but annabeth is half mortal and born to a god who isn’t tied to the sea. she’s like a damn alien to them and they are Fascinated with her.

OH and percy has no fucking idea. i mean, he knows that the undersea community loves annabeth, but he doesn’t know about the princess thing. eventually annabeth is introduced at some under the sea ball as the princess of atlantis regardless of the fact that they aren’t married but percy didn’t hear a damn word out of the herald’s mouth because he was too busy staring at his gorjus girlfriend in her beautiful gown with her pretty hair and shiny makeup. he was having his hallmark movie moment. cut him some slack.

i think triton is where i’m so unsure lol like i could see him adopting annabeth immediately too but i could also see him being soooo wary and distant from her. mainly bc of the pallas and athena thing. like i can see him meeting annabeth and noting that she looks and acts exactly like athena did all those years ago and he sees how close she is to percy the same way athena was close to pallas (firm believer that percy looks exactly like pallas 🙏) and then he either is so caught up in the parallels that he doesn’t give annabeth an inch and becomes like uber protective over percy instead OR he is well aware that it was zeus who killed pallas, not athena and he saw athena close herself off and resemble zeus more than anything and saw how athena began to treat her children much the same, so he takes annabeth under his wing immediately too like she’s his second chance with athena. like both options are sooooooooo 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

so idk i switch between the two but i think i lean more toward the latter just bc i want annabeth to find unconditional love and family bc like hell is freddy boy gonna give her that. sally and paul are her first set of parents that love her fully and completely and care deeply for her. poseidon and amphitrite are her second set. she and percy have a room in the palace in atlantis and are always welcome to visit. poseidon’s blessing over keeping her safe to traverse his realm never fades. it DOES have some side effects of tying her to the ocean…being healed by ocean water, finding peace and tranquility on the shore similar to how sally met poseidon on the shores of montauk so she can always have this safe space amidst the chaos of demigod life…honestly the tie is so subtle to the point that it resembles aphrodite kids considering their subtle tie to the ocean so she starts to get mistaken for an aphrodite kid a LOT more. anyways.

[t1oui]

i read a fic once where atlantis has its own language and zeus is jealous because how come he doesn't get a kingdom with its own language? and i want to take that a step further

just. atlantis with its own language and culture and traditions completely separate from olympus or the underworld or modern culture in general. i really like the idea of atlantis having its own style of clothes for royalty whereas the rest of the gods will usually be found in a chiton or modern suit.

poseidon, amphitrite, and/or triton (and maybe even percy) showing up to meetings on olympus wearing the royal clothes of atlantis just to piss zeus off...

i have an idea of what the royal clothing looks like i just can't draw so :/ i can describe it, sort of, but i won't unless prompted lmao

[n1percyexpert]

honestly. you cant convince me amphitrite didnt like sally at least a little bit.

like. in the myths, its never stated amphitrite didnt approve of poseidons partners, and if i remember correctly she even did like some of his children too?? (or thats just from percy jacksons greek heroes. i. i forgot which- BUT ITS MY PJO CANON SO WHO CARES)

so like. she doesnt hate them. and from what ive taken from reading the myths with poseidon and amphitrite, they seem like a relatively chill couple. and also with the way the ocean itself is, something they are both an actual part of and not just gods of, it would make sense if theyre fine with the other having their own partners

amphitrite may not have any lovers simply because she might not want to, but poseidon has had many (as we know)

and i feel like poseidon would have enough respect for his wife to not just. bring a mortal woman down to the sea and make her immortal. i feel like he would at least make sure she was ok with it (also partly bc theyd both make his life hell if he did that without her approval)

and so, if amphitrite was ok enough with it to allow poseidon to even bring up the suggestion to sally, she has got to like her too. at least a little bit.

and also, im like. 97% sure ive said this before. but percy being poseidon and amphitrite child would make sense for why hes so dam powerful and has such a strong and (seemingly) unique relationship with the ocean

this is a hill i am not fully willing to die on, but i will kill someone on.
