In may ways, Celia's desire to not be given the "royal treatment" - to not be subject to a bunch of fawning - is a mark of intense privilege

#there's no WAY Alexander the Great could have gotten away with that #those sort of ritualized recognitions of authority also act as guards of that authority #the mysticism that they generate are part of why kings stay in power #most rulers NEED the royal treatment to maintain their power #the fact that Celia can - and is encouraged to - forgo them is a mark of how utterly completely secure in her rulership she is #she is pretty unique in being able to forgo the trappings of hierarchy while still staying at the top of the hierarchy #anyway this post is brought to you by my annoyance with this attitude #like you are the head of a dictatorship. you either need to make your peace with that or #you need to restructure the government so that it is not a literal dictatorship #I don't like the 'nooooo staaahhhp *giggle* stopp ittt' routine she has about the realities of her absolutism #celia fincastle #celias journey

The thing is, I honestly believe that if Higby had revealed his identity to her right away, Celia wouldn’t have freaked out and it would have been fine

#she literally took the existence of magic in stride #she would have been totally fine and also not even mad at him #unlike the apocalyptic levels of rage she felt about it being kept from her when he was literally right there #celias journey #higby h snodridge #celia fincastle

Having grown and matured, I’ve decided I actually don’t mind Celia’s characterization as a complete hypocrite in Neeghan’s Journey. It’s got a sense of dramatic irony to it, a certain je ne sais quoi

#You either die for your morals or live long enough to become what you hated #Or however that saying goes #Just - I’m reading KttP again and seeing Celia rant and rail against P. Legaspi knowing she’s gonna treat her sister the exact same…#It’s kind of delicious kind of enjoyable #Oh how the mighty fall #Oh how the turn tables #How tragic how fitting how evil #Anyway ignore me I’ll probably hate it again in a week #But for now I’m enjoying myself #neeghans journey #celia fincastle

Celia has actually never done anything wrong in her life, because she had to take FIFTEEN classes at age 12. Everything can be forgiven in light of that. We’re lucky homegirl didn’t go clinically insane

#Allowing her to be a little rude is the LEAST she’s owed for all of that #She’s got more then TRIPLE the average course load #I don’t know how she even rentered society again after that #We’re lucky she ever recovered #What the actual fuck. HOW did I forget about this???#key to the past #celia fincastle #celias journey #If I were her I would have started killing

It’s sooooo funny that they stuck their tongues down each others throats for the first time and immediately formed a psychic bond

The characters in a PJO AU

Celia: Daughter of Cronos. This is a Big Deal and is the source of conflict in this universe. She arrives at Camp at around the same age as in The Book in the Attic

Maddie: Daughter of Tyche. She’s on the weaker side, but able to balance odds really well. She and Celia met at the Hermes table since neither of their parents have a cabin.

Josh: Son of Ares. Love is war.

Kitt: Centaur and camp storyteller. He’s pretty young so he’s not a leader but he supervises during campfire and Capture the Flag

Heath: Son of Hephaestus, he mans the forge and is the second oldest in his cabin. He comes across as laid back but he’s really good about making sure no one gets hurt in such a fire-prone environment

Audra: clear-sighted mortal and Hunter of Artemis. She arrives in camp later on, effectively as their liaison. Her role among the Hunters is diplomacy

Doxa: Also a Hunter of Artemis, and is Artemis’s representative amongst the council of the Gods. A bit of a bully early on, but she lets up on Celia when she realizes they both want to protect those who are powerless

Quiroz: Son of Hermes, the God of travellers, messengers, thieves, and Psychopomp

Lyerly: Daughter of Apollo, specializes in truth and prophecy, eventually becomes the Oracle of Camp when they let the attic mummy pass on

Casimir: Son of Zeus, and feels entitled because of it

#I was originally considering Son of Aphrodite for Josh #and I maintain that it would still work #it’s got the body gifts - awareness of the power and usefulness of one’s body not to mention him falling fast and hard #depending on the plot of the pjo au he still could be one #however because of the Aphrodite cabin’s reputation at Camp Halfblood #it would change him a lot to be a part of that cabin #like they’re basically seen as the wimp cabin #whereas in order to maintain his painful act of masculinity and detachment he would have to be in a different environment #because that just wouldn’t be the attitude that was nurtured in the Aphrodite cabin #however if this was a ‘seven halfbloods on the run together’ sort of au then he could be Aphrodite #plus like. he’s a hottie. they put him on the cover of a teens gossip magazine. he’s objectively attractive #character charts #this has really got away from me as an au #I don’t have a story line but I have more world building that didn’t make it into this post #maybe I’ll add it later idk #celias journey #alternate universes #celia fincastle #josh rumbles #madelia hannagan #kittrick borega #casimir coridan #quiroz bazemore #doxa geleafa #lyerly #Heath whitmore #audra jackson

Celia and Josh for the ask game

Couple of all time!!

I’m starting to dislike this character sheet - I was surprised by how few I had for Josh considering I’m unwell about him. I got a bingo but still

The characters in the Hunger Games

Celia: born in the capitol, adopted into the upper echelons of district 8, is good at fighting but loses because she has no media appeal

Josh: district 3, gets really far because he has a lot of sponsors and quick reflexes, eventually dies trying to protect Celia

Maddie: district 10, lives the first two nights because she avoided the Cornucopia but gets seperated from her encampment and supplies, dies of overexposure

Heath: district 7, faked incompetence in training and managed to surprise people in the arena, but got taken down by the career tributes

Kitt: district 11, hides early on but has no fighting skills and therefore doesn’t make it. He’s the Rue equivalent

Audra: from district 7 with Heath, gets pretty far because of an alliance with him, can use long range weaponry

Doxa: district 2, career tribute, the victor
