"children of dionysus" — headcanons !
i have soooooo many headcanons for them, i'm literally obsessed with them and i'm not even cabin 12
apart from the usual shit they throw the best parties, they're theatre kids etc.
they can influence people states of mind and emotions
can do it purposely if they're strong and can cause hallucinations and mental instability, temporary or not
arguments in cabin 12 last for MONTHS but after they clear things up it's as if it never happened
they don't have charmspeak but can be incredibly persuasive
and they're also harder to charmspeak
they can cure mental illness or drive someone to madness
AND because of that i'm convinced that they can go through dedalus labyrinth without going mad like rachel
i'd like to think that she's not bitter with her husband's spawns like hera and persephone
they're my favourite godly couple i'm obsessed with them
and they talked like adults about having an open relationship
after THOUSANDS of years of marriage monogamy ain't an option i'm sorry
so yes, children of dionysus have a great relationship with their step-mom
dionysus is literally greek loki
so yes, a LOT of fluidity
not even cabin 10 has better shoes than them
leopard print, purple glitter and wine red velvet EVERYWHERE
you can find the creepiest carnival/theatre masks along with the most deranged sex toys in cabin 12
also there are huge posters of charli xcx and david bowie
also if they're mad to their dad they tribute a portion of their food to david bowie
best friends with nymphs, satyrs, spirits of nature in general and children of demeters and persephone
they also get along well with hermes, poseidon, aphrodite, eros, hebe and hecate kids
I have mixed feelings about apollo's kids
cause like in ancient greece apollonian and dionysiac were completely opposite concepts
so I hc it's like for poseidon and zeus kids, they could be best friends or sworn enemies
they usually get along well and stage plays, write poetry and throw parties together
yes they make their own moonshine and sell it to cabin 11
they're also in charge of the cigarettes and pills contraband
yes they secretly grow opium and cannabis plants with cabin 4
YES even if they're underage cause they're literally the children of the god of wine, addiction and hedonism
they drink alcohol like they breathe air
it actually sharpens their senses and wits
so they're always a little bit drunk or high
and even if they don't everyone of them has at least one obsession/addiction
like sugar, caffeine, gambling
make poker nights and WILL cheat
they love to gossip with the dryads and the aphrodite kids
but will literally bet on anything
like if you watched the pitt and read a couple of fanfic you will get me
idc what type of hair it's. always. wild.
they got the best hair in the camp tho, naturally shiny and silky
cause c'mon the god of fertility
they have a naturally attractive scent
i'm not saying like sweet or flowery
musky and earthy and innate
and it can drive people wild with want
if they're light-skinned their cheeks, ears, lips, neck, chest, knuckles, knees and elbows often paint bight pink or even red
like when they wake up, when the temperature shifts just a little bit, if they scratch their skin or it rubs against something
if their skin is darker it literally glows ????
when they're in their element like when they're drinking or partying or acting on stage
they collect vintage bottles in cabin 12
not only grapes and strawberries go wild around them, but figs, cherries, berries and any sickly sweet fruit as well
they have a specific cabinet for honey jars
cabin 12 is covered in grapevines, ivy and pinecones
as someone who studied greek mythology in school i will DIE defending the fact that daughters of dionysus are rare and as powerful as the big three kids
since it was impossible to actually prevent them from throwing parties, chiron conceded them three nights per month
and they ALWAYS have a theme
other nights they simply sneak out with the older hermes kids and other campers. they take the last train to town, party all night and come back with the first train in the morning
dionysus always catches them. he waits for them on top of the half-blood hill, arms crossed trying hard to look disappointed, but he never tells chiron
he's actually very proud of his kids
chiron knows everything but pretends he doesn't
the therapist friends that need therapy
if they get really wasted at night you will probably find them at the beach, singing and reciting poetry to the moon and the sea
i'm not american but hear me out
the bacchae live in a farm on the appalachians
may or may not be responsible for half of the creepy ass stories about those fucking mountains
these stories are not unfounded
they're a women-only religious cult that goes around searching for naive hikers to sacrifice to their deity. they slaughter them and consume the cadaver
ok I do but do you see my vision?
every once in a while chiron asks dionysus if he's gonna do something about them
dionysus pretends they don't exist
he's lowkey scared of them but will never admit it
