Bonjour! May I ask, my dear, for Dionysus cabin? Amazing therapists, I think they’d be. Not sure though. Thank you so much hand, obviously, feel free to decline!
⇢ ˗ˏˋ dionysus cabin headcanons ࿐ྂ
bonjour my dear! thank you so much for requesting! mr. d is one of my favorite characters, so i'm really excited to do these.
i think the first and biggest thing i should mention about dionysus kids is: they know how to party.
i mean, their dad is literally the god of wine
of course they're gonna be the definition of party animals
wherever there's a party, they're always the life of it
they're rarely ever the ones to start the party because they tend to be rather scatterbrained and don't have the attention span to plan a party, but they love attending them
they love attending parties
dionysus kids are the definition of heavyweights
it takes a lot to get them drunk
like they can get buzzed and tipsy or whatever but it takes a lot for them to become actually drunk
they know how to have fun sober, though, trust me
dionysus kids are very festive souls
they love holidays, any holidays, and go above and beyond decorating for them and getting everyone and themselves in the real feel of the holiday
they love halloween because you can go all out for decorations
they love christmas for the same reason
a random thing to note; dionysus kids have a special affinity for grape flavored things
grape flavored candy, grape flavored drinks, you name it, and dionysus kids are all over it
they also love fruit
their dad is the god of fruit and orchards, so they're a big fan of it
of course, grapes are their favorite
dionysus kids really love raisins, too
they're just dried grapes, so they find the flavor pleasant enough
there are definitely dionysus kids who don't love raisins, but most dionysus kids will eat them if there's nothing else to snack on
this is one of those things that everybody else in camp judges them for, but they get to enjoy raisins with each other so it's okay
dionysus is also the god of vegetation, so dionysus kids also tend to like veggies more than the average kid
dionysus kids like veggies as toddlers, which is a big sign to them being a dionysus kid
like, they'll even devour broccoli
anyways
another thing about dionysus kids is that they generally have a pretty good relationship with their dad
he is the camp director, so they see him a lot more than the average half-blood sees their godly parent, but dionysus also generally builds relationships with his kids, so they get close, and they have good relationships
dionysus also doesn't like having lots of kids, he doesn't like being too outnumbered, so there's never too many dionysus kids in the cabin at once
this makes it easier for him to create lasting relationships and makes it easier to bond with them individually
i know mr. d was kinda an asshole to percy but i do headcanon him as a pretty good dad
because there's not usually an abundance of dionysus kids that also means that they get really close with each other
dionysus kids are each other's ride or dies
they consider each other their best friends
there's never usually more than 4 in the cabin at once so it's like a little friend group, except you all have the same dad!
so fun fact
dionysus is also the god of insanity and ritual madness
this does come across in dionysus kids, unfortunately
dionysus kids can go fucking insane sometimes
please, please please please, i beg of you
never cheat on a dionysus kid
think carrie underwood, but like times a thousand
all dionysus kids know before he cheats by heart because they've sung it at the top of their lungs in their cars after getting cheated on for the first time
and then they've gotten revenge
it's never pretty
i can't legally go into the details (aka i'm too tired to come up with the details) but please never do it
if not for the sake of the dionysus kid heart you're breaking but for your own
dionysus kids are also generally really gifted actors
dionysus is the god of theatre, and since he has a passion for it, he likes to pass that passion down to his kids
there's a sort of drama club within camp half-blood
(founded by dionysus kids and heavily supported by the camp director of course)
they like to put on shakespeare because it's very greek tragedy-esque, but usually without the actual greek tragedy
also whenever there's a sword fight, it's easy to perform and choreograph because they're already being trained in swordsmanship, so they already have that skill (or at least know how to handle a sword without decapitating themselves)
dionysus kids like to think shakespeare was a dionysus kid
mr. d will neither confirm nor deny
(but the glint in his eyes whenever you bring it up leans more towards the affirmative)
randomly going back to them being heavyweights thing, even if they do get drunk, it's rare for a dionysus kid to get a hangover
which is something they endlessly brag about to other campers
"oh, it's weird that i eat raisins? well, i don't get hangovers so suck it"
dionysus kids also have a hilarious sense of humor
like these kids are really funny
their sense of humor consists of a lot of sarcasm and teasing and stuff like that
they can be really annoying as older siblings and younger siblings
a lot of "why are you hitting yourself? why are you hitting yourself?" copying, and other stuff like that
basically, dionysus kids are super cool and crazy and chaotic, but they're hard not to love
it's also pretty nice being friends with a dionysus kid because they can get you out of trouble with their dad if what you did was pretty mild and they ask really nicely
they're also just so freaking fun at parties that it's so nice having them around
consider yourself lucky if you're a friend of a dionysus kid
so it's 2:30 am and i have to be up at 9 but i got inspired by this and i want to start pumping these out faster, so here you are! dionysus cabin headcanons. i hope you liked them, i had so much freaking fun writing these! thank you so much for reading, please reblog, i love you all so much! muah!!
-I feel like one day Jason was trying to get some sleep but couldn't, due to the statue of Hippy Zeus staring at him.
-And he thought, 'Nu uh. This isn't gonna work.
-So in the morning, he convinced the Ares cabin (Read: bribed) to take the creepy statue out.
-And in its place, you can trust that Jason put a truckload of couches in. Not even Zeus knows where he got them.
But time to talk about you!
-I like to think that the next daughter of Zeus would look a lot like Jason, just a tad frizzy hair.
-The next son of Zeus would look like Thalia, with a haircut similar to hers and Nico's, minus the goth clothes. (Unless that's your thing!)
-If none of those match you, just pretend they did.
-Jason is giving protective older brother.
-And Thalia just seems like a proud sister, yk?
-Like I can just see the rest of the Hunters getting irritated with her talking about you so much.
-Be expected to attend all gatherings with the seven because Jason insisted.
-He's lost too many people already.
-Humor him.
Back to general headcanons (Ik, I'm all over the place)
-So Jason can control winds, fly, etc.
-Well, after having this debate with myself, I have decided that if Thalia wasn't so deathly afraid of heights, she would probably be more powerful than Jason in that category too.
-I think the lightning worse though, tbh.
-I can see Zeus kids running off of two hours of sleep and several shots of cafine.
-Sorta like Leo, lol.
-Also electrocuting ppl!
-Like, when they get a strong emotion of any sort, sparks sort of fly out of their fingers.
-So when they actually touch you during that, it shocks you.
-But not enough to go to the ER! :D
Final thing:
-You cannot convince me that the Stoll brothers don't go all out to prank this Cabin.
-I mean, they take things so seriously, how can they not?
-What's that sound?
-Oh, just Travis screaming like a girl as Jason electrocutes him.
-I think getting drenched in purple paint finally made him snap.
Aphrodite kids being absolute daddys kids cause you could not catch the goddess of LOVE picking a fuck ass man to raise her kids without all the love they deserve PLEASEEE 🙏🙏
A mortal woman has 3 kids, unbeknownst to her all of them turned out to be demigods, and all of them were whisked off to camp half blood.
Well, now she’s on a date with a handsome man and asks “Promise you won’t make my kids demigods?”, he responds with “Which of us is the god because I wouldn’t be surprised if you were a godess in disguise.” She laughs it off.
Years later the child is taken to camp half blood. The man was Zeus. That horny bastard.
Although the campers themselves (usually) get along just fine, some cabins will have more of a feud between them than others. For example, on the days they don’t team up, Cabin 6 (Athena) and Cabin 9 (Hephaestus) are always head-to-head.
Sometimes, Cabin 9 will create so many absurd, out-of-box weapons and defense mechanisms that no one, not even Cabin 6, can plan for. Most days however, Cabin 6 is able to get the drop on Cabin 9, though it may be as simple as ‘overhearing’ their plans a few days before. Either way, it’s always fun to watch.
The biggest cabin 1/Zeus kid stereotype is that they're all good leaders and they take charge and always speak their minds. I personally don't think that's coherent.
It's just playing on Zeus being the king of the gods, which is shallow at best. Sure, the children of Zeus/Jupiter that we know are leaders--Thalia and Jason--but that doesn't really mean that all of Zeus/Jupiter's kids are good at that. It's no stretch of the imagination for him to have children that are softer and better at background dynamics. Maybe they are a leader, but they only take up that mantle when they have to--they aren't the first person to take charge and instead wait for someone else to, until they realize no one else will. Maybe they're reserved and cautious around strangers, but loud, bubbly, and gregarious around people they're comfortable with. Maybe some of them take it upon themselves to joke around and relax their friends, to make a situation easier. Maybe they're just critical thinkers and have had teachers call them out for being too cynical, too serious, when all they did was notice the root of something. Maybe they look at the big picture more than others, or maybe they're more detail oriented. Maybe some really care about doing right by others, while some are more like their half brother, Hercules.
Every other cabin is allowed to be more than what people expect or stereotype them to be, so Zeus cabin shouldn't be the exception. Even if you want to stick with the leadership thing, there's more than one kind of leader--please remember that.
