God Butcher Thalia

Sometimes Annabeth likes to go to the edge of Thalia's forest. Never inside—she's not an idiot after all—but just close enough that Thalia can hear her she hopes she can hear her. Sometimes she just talks, sometimes she brings her blankets, clothes, food. She thinks Thalia gets them, after all the bedding and clothes are usually gone when she comes back. As for the food...Well if Annabeth were naive she'd take the meats being untouched as a good sign, sadly she is not.

But one day the air feels different, heavier, there's a pit in her stomach. And when she gets to the tree she usually leaves Thalia's things at there's a piece of paper sitting there, held in place by a broken chain link.

Thanks, see you soon

Dark! Thalia

So I see a lot of posts talking about the potential of Dark! Percy or Leo etc. Yet I've never really seen one on Dark! Thalia. To me she's probably one of the most likely to have reasons to go dark or turn against the gods. Let's assess her history here. *We know that growing up wasn't easy for her. Her mom was an alcoholic and a popular tv star. *Some things we can assume do to the previous information. Alcoholism often has severe mood swings as a side effect so Thalia has probably seen some pretty scary and ugly sides to her mother that the public doesn't see. For a little kid it must be pretty terrifying. *If her mom was a celebrity there had to be some pressure that went along with that. To be a good kid so her mom's image wasn't damaged. *Going back to Alcoholism it's gotta be tough as a child to slowly comprehend and realize that your mother is drinking herself to death and slowly wasting away. *Part of Thalia must have understood and come to two conclusions about this. One: Her mom wasn't necessarily able to handle the pressures of the media and despite the crap Thalia went through because of her mom she still loved her and would most likely developed a certain bitterness towards the media and most and prying people. Two: She would also realize that it would be easier on her mom if her Dad was there. She'd grow bitter towards him because to her, if he stuck around maybe none of this would have happened. *Later her father actually comes back which must seem like a miracle to her. Imagine the hope that would bubble up in her little chest. Things were going to be fixed and she and her mom could be happy. *Now imagine her finding out that he wasn't going to stick around and then finding out her mom is pregnant. Not only that but coming to the conclusion that her father, who for a split second was her hero, had now only made things worse. *Imagine Thalia being so grown up at such a young age. Imagine her trying to keep her mother from drinking because she's pregnant. Or trying to help with things like making dinner and cleaning the house. *Then Jason is born. And she's sitting there holding this small innocent child. A kid whose done nothing wrong and she reflects on all of the crap she's dealt with and decides that won't happen to him, it can't. *Thalia doing everything in her power to give him a better childhood than she had. He becomes her world. Thalia is his world and for a bit he's the source of her only happiness. Thalia would end up losing her own childhood to raise him. *Now picture this. Picture Thalia scouring around for Jason complete panic kicking in because "how could I lose him?" "This is my fault!" Only to realize that her mother is oddly calm about this. Being told that Jason was gone for good and suddenly her world just collapses. *There's no reason for her to stay anymore. Because honestly she's contemplated running away before. But she stays a bit longer because she'll feel guilty. Because her mom needs her. But she eventually can't take it anymore so she runs away. *She then meets Luke. A boy who understands everything she's going through. And for once she can be herself and do as she pleases without having to worry about anyone. She gets a bit of that childlike freedom back. *She finds Annabeth and every instinct n her being is screaming to protect her. Because Annabeth looks like Jason, she's as small and innocent as he is, and damn it "I failed Jason but I'm not failing her." *Thalia finally has a family she wants. A family she loves. Only it doesn't last. *That night on the hill she's not letting anyone touch the people she cares about because she failed once with her brother and it will not happen again. Not ever. *Imagine the fear and sadness because she knows there's no way out of this. But there's cult there too because this is her fault isn't it? She's the daughter of the king of the gods. The monsters are after her. Not them. *She dies. When she wakes its an entirely different world. *The little girl she protected for so long is now nearly her age. She missed Annabeth's childhood. She missed getting to see Annabeth grow up but now Annabeth has Percy. Annabeth doesn't need Thalia anymore and it's heartbreaking. *What's worse is then she discovers the boy who helped take care of her is evil. It doesn't make sense at first but then comes the guilt. If she'd been alive maybe this wouldn't have happened. *Not only that but her first mission and Luke tries to hurt Annabeth. But a part of her doesn't believe it. Not until she sees it. *What we have to understand is that right now at this point she's also understanding that the prophecy is about her. Not Percy. Not anymore at the moment. *The bitterness at the world inside of her had to have been so much. So strong. Later she would find out the only reason Luke wanted her to live was so he could be a part of his evil plan. *Fast forward to the moment she has to fight him on mount Tam. The real moment she realized Luke isn't the same person anymore. The pain of coming to terms with that would hurt so much. Yet she'd also realize that to an extent he's right, the gods caused it all, but she can't side with him because it isn't right. *She then becomes the lieutenant of Artemis and has to prepare for a war. *When the final battle comes around the people she cares about most are constantly on the verge of dying. What's more is that throughout this entire series Zeus does not show his appreciation for the sacrifices she's made. And when he does it's an after thought. In the titans curse one of her biggest struggles as a character is the idea of whether or not her father even cares about her. *Later she, Percy, Grover, and Annabeth are racing to the throne room. A statue of Hera falls and it's supposed to be for Annabeth but without hesitation she once again saved Annabeth. Saved the girl she promised to protect and in the process gets injured. *Everything is like an endless spiral for her. Nothing ever really looks up. Luke dies and she learns that he was himself in the final moments. *Whats worse however is that she wasn't there to see it. All she remembers is him trying to kill her. That's her last memory of him. His evilness not his kindness. *The war is over and everyone gets their happy ending but she goes back on the hunt again. *A new war comes up and she is left leading the hunters as the sort of clean up party. Trying to keep things in check while the gods lose their minds. It isn't all that fair. *A brief moment of happiness comes when she is reunited with Jason but he's so big. So grown up and just like with Annabeth she's missed him grow into a handsome young man. He won't need her that much anymore. *Without hesitating she is going to help him in his quest. Only to find out the reason all of this happened was because of Hera. Who has already taken enough. Yet Thalia's supposed to just let her baby brother go on a quest and save the world when she's just now gotten him back. A quest where he could very well die and she couldn't protect him. *Then to make things worse she has to continue playing clean up and wrangling monsters while everyone prepares for war. Only for all of her friends to go on a quest and risk death with no way to necessarily contact them. Imagine all of this boiling up. It would be so tiring. So exhausting that you can't help but wonder how she hasn't snapped yet? Percy and Leo and the others both got the love of at least one parent. She got the love of none. She raised her brother. She died for her fiends only to come back into a world she didn't know. If anyone has a right to snap it's her. Then again all of the demigods have their reasons and it's amazing they've held out so long. Anyways, I figured since no ones done one of these for Thalia I might as well. Thanks for reading,

I NEED GOD BUTCHER LORE.

Eating Apollo hadn't really been part of the plan, but...she'd been screaming—sobbing more like it—his ichor had gotten in her mouth at some point and it tasted...good. It had a decent flavor and it got her curious. D had been much easier to trap then she'd thought he'd be

"For fucks sake kid—!"

"I'll make the cut quick, besides it's not like you can die"

Of course Artemis wouldn't let what she'd done to her twin slide and it seemed ashame to waste good meat. Then came love and war—Ares had a weirdly sweet taste to him. She took her time with Hera and Zeus, slow cuts, long tares, shredding bites. She'd nearly gotten to Poseidon—unfortunately Hephaestus found the net.

Tldr: Thalia deals with her grief through binge eating

God Butcher Au Facts

Thalia and Jason's teeth get sharper the more they eat—Thalia's look more feline and Jason's are more canine.

Jason is an ambush predator, wait, strike, nom. Simple, usually effective. Thalia is a mix of persistent and ambush. Yeet speer into the deities belly or thigh, chase them until they can't run any more, nom. Only reason Poseidon got away is because her aim was off, got his shoulder instead of his side. On the bright side it meant he couldn't turn into a horse—he'd have been down a leg.

Thalia: ♪Baby you think that you can hide? I can smell your scent for miles~♪

Sometimes a feast has consequences.

Deep in the wood of Connecticut you can find a girl, but don't be fooled by her young appearance, for she's bathed in ichor

Ageless and unfading she eats all meat breathing or not, sometimes you can hear her screams that shake the profound earth and the sky, screams that make the sun and the moon shiver, even love and war feel senseless at the sound of the pain she feels inside her stomach

Alone she stays for long, for no one, not even the wild creatures dare to cross the god-butcher...

"Annabeth—"

"No, I don't think any of them comprehend the situation we're in right now! The more—the more ichor she...consumes the stronger she gets! But gods are famously hard to kill, proven by the fact that Hera and Zeus are somehow still alive after...after THAT!"

"Annabeth—!"

"So she can just keep hunting—keep eating—keep gaining in power—!

writing a dark!percy fanfic and it’s so fun wow why didn’t I do this sooner

also ft. dark!rachel, dark!thalia and possibly more (now also ft. dark!hazel)

(except dark!annabeth bc reasons already written)

[newathens]

floo-teast

i’m just gonna start another post bc that one was getting really long 

AND 2 THINGS

ONE I’M ABOUT TO CRY JASON CHALLENGING HIS FATHER LIKE U HAVE NO IDEA I HAD/HAVE  FANFICTION BASED AROUND THAT ENTIRE THOUGHT AND IT’S NOT EVEN JUST HIM IT’S LIKE FULLY THOUGHT OUT AND I HAVE A PLOT AND EVERYTHING AND I’M D E A D HTG I’VE WRITTEN IT ALREADY BUT THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO AND I NEVER FINISHED IT AND I’M JUST CRYNG IT’S LIKE OH MY GOD THE HALF BLOODS CHALLENGING THEIR PARENTS IS LIKE THE GO TO FOR ME I WILL GO O F F ON THAT SHIT

but ok thalia, omg thalia

thalia is def one to lose her temper quickly bc we’ve seen that in the books but not so quickly as to start mass destruction

i feel like thalia has been pushed and pulled and twisted a lot of different ways within the fandom and i feel like she doesn’t get enough love as a character bc honestly she’s really well-developed and she’s got a detailed past and a lot of crazy stuff has happened to her and i have a lot of feelings about thalia

i feel like with her and jason it’s 2 different things, as with jason, he could cause mass destruction with rage, but with thalia it’s grief that would help her cause mass destruction, like they both feel each emotion equally and both do help them but it’s the opposite for each that help them in the long run

thalia’s an emotional person and she’d sacrifice herself for people again and again if she had to like??? first annabeth and luke and then we saw her in TLO pushing annabeth and percy out of the way, when honestly we all know she also should’ve went to the throne room

it was the trio that ended up going in there but it should’ve been thalia too bc she was as involved with luke as anybody else was BUT ANYWAY

when i mentioned thalia i was thinking about dark!thalia and holy crap i think she’d be scarier than the other boys put together

dark!thalia would definitely fly, there’s no doubt about it, i feel in a moment of pure grief and sorrow she’d forget all about her fears and she’d be just so filled with white-hot fury that she’d end up flying

also i always felt thalia and jason were flipped, she’s more powerful with lightning, him with flying

if dark!thalia ever did happen i feel like there wouldn’t be much of anything to stop the lightning, they’d have to wait it out

dark!thalia clutching annabeth’s limp body to her chest and screaming for help, for someone to help but they can’t even GET to them bc there is literally a shower of lightning bolts raining down from the heavens, destroying everyone and everything

that’s another thing, i feel like jason would be aware even when he was furious, i feel dark!thalia wouldn’t care who she hit or what happened as long as the danger was over and her loved ones were safe

dark!thalia could (and would) definitely be mean though

taking her spear and throwing it through someone, electrified of course

shooting arrows of bolts just like her father has his master bolt

moving fast, and i mean really fast, as fast as lighting, and ripping through monsters thrice her size in just seconds

dark!thalia would have those white-electric eyes to and her eyes were already bright as it is, so could you imagine, her entire eye might as well be leaking voltage

she’d have generations and generations of siblings behind her as well, but she’d also have athena’s guidance and artemis’s determination and she would rip, no not rip, she would practically VAPORIZE anyone in her path

when dark!jason is at play, you can catch a glimpse of the charred bodies before the puff away into dust

but when dark!thalia is in battle you better keep a sharp eye because one moment you might see a comrade, but she sees an enemy, and the next moment there is nothing but a cloud of ash

DARK DEMIGODS HAVE GOT ME ON ANOTHER LEVEL I NEED HELP
