#demeter pjo

[spookedbees]

have you ever made any designs for Greek gods/goddesses? I think they would look great in your style!!!

i have some loose designs for most of the pjo-verse greek gods

i also have ideas for more general greek god designs but no art for them yet

[gracious-midnight]

Oh

Some EXCELLENT decisions were made in the casting department

[alannaswrld]

one order of percy and his godly family actually being family please? yes—family game nights and hermes cheating at monopoly. yes—family dinners that start awkward until the tension breaks and percy, hermes, apollo, dionysus, and artemis are all performing a dance they made up together. yes—percy standing at the threshold of ares’s temple and mockingly repeating “i’m not in your room, i’m not in your room, i’m not in your room” until ares chases him around olympus. yes—percy gardening with demeter and persephone and acting mature in front of demeter then smearing mud on persephone’s dress when she looks away. yes—percy spending time with hephaestus in his forges and bonding in silence. ye-

CHB cabin headcanons

ARES-

Anyone who gets claimed gets one of those those maching camo jackets (all the other cabins also have a version of this)

Most of their wounds leave scars

supersuper loyal

Theyre definitely those little kids who tell the craziest stories about their scars except theyre actually true

Cabin is always very tidy

They have their own tiny gym area inside the cabin

Ellis Wakefield has green hair and pronouns

(the pronouns are they/them)

Ares and Athena kids vibe asf, what are you even talking about

APHRODITE-

children of aphrodite with particularly strong magic can make themselves appear different

im thinking kinda like Courtly Jester in EAH

they have charmed hairbrushes in the cabin that can change ones hair texture for about a day

they are children of different types of aphrodite. for example: Valentina Diaz is a child of Aphrodite Areia while Silena was a child of Aphrodite Pandemos

Valentina designs and makes fashionable armor

a lot of them have beauty marks/moles

they have myrtles and roses all around the cabin

HERMES-

They have the best luck with wifi

Really good at languages

Theyre not actually the biggest cabin. Since the gods started claiming their children more the cabin has been way emptier

The types to just pop up behind you when you aren't looking

They dont even try to sneak up on you, it just happens

...transfem Chris...

Super awesome with video games

They always hang out with the athena cabin

DEMETER-

Very prone to seasonal depression

Besties with bees

In the sense that bees just refuse to sting them

They do indeed sell weed idk what to tell you

Lovelovelove swings

Really vibe with apollo kids

Also dionysus kids

Miranda is a child of specifically Demeter Erinys

Like she can bring famines and whatnot

A bunch of them sleep in hammocks

Everything is reused, reduced, and/or recycled

If theyre feeling very emotional the plants in their area will respond to their emotion

They help the concoction girlies (Apollo cabin, Hacate cabin, Aphrodite cabin, demigod witches) with herbs and plants and stuff

ATHENA-

Always have max (usually less than) 4 campers because Athena very much does NOT bless just anyone

currently they would be Malcolm Pace and Zane Carver

they also arent born from their mortal parents head, Athena just pops them out of nowhere and drops them on their parents doorstep

Theyre mostly autistic because, um, projecting idk

Really good at random trivia

Surprisingly a lot of them like spiderman

They love a good journal to organize their thoughts

A bunch of fucking art kids

Theyre those types of kids to find a new hobby every other week and just leave their last passion project to rot

male manipulators🔥🔥

professional overthinkers

pt 2

Hey do you think it was weird for the Kronides (excluding Zeus obvi) not being constantly touching/up against each other after being thrown up by Kronos because they were in a tight enclosed space that probably didn't grant them enough room to not be touching since infanthood.

Do you think it was awkward those first few days? Do you think they slept in the same bed, unable to fall asleep apart? Or were they immediately putting distance from each other when they got out and gained space? Do you think they had to learn how to use their legs?

Baby deer learning to walk ass gods, their motor skills were probably shit😭 Zeus was probably teasing them like:

Zeus: Stand up for yourselves! *snort* Oh wait you can't—FUCK

Hades: *grabs his ankles and pulls him down*

@meepmoopmaap @unubinary Am having thoughts about the Kronides again😭 I cannot hate them if I tried.

[random-indian-girl]

@bugwolfsstuff , more on that whole Zeus listens to true crime podcasts thing, here's a scenario brought to you by Willow doesn't want to start figuring out a studying schedule for ninth grade (I'll do it tomorrow I promise).

So all six Kronides are at a mall in some place because they all wanted pizza. Hestia's wheelchairing around. Everything is fine. Till some idiot boomer says something about young people these days being weak. The follow ensues:

Asshole: *Rude comment*

Poseidon: Okay, so are we letting that slide or-

Hera: Murder.

Demeter: How though?

Hades: And we'll also need to hide the evidence-

Zeus: We could just stab him and throw him in a pool with an usual level of chlorine to dissolve the body or feed it to a bunch of pigs

Hades, slowing craning his neck around to face Zeus: HOW THE FUCK DO YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW THAT?!

[khr-gilded-cage]

Watching Epic made me I miss Mischief Chaotic Hermes in PJO so much!

PJO's gods are shitty written for real

They should weirder, crazier, funny, less people and more forces of nature

And good parents trying their best instead of plain evil parents, usually their kids are a exception to their assholeness

Make Poseidon a little worse and Zeus a little better please, both the Sea and the Sky

Make Ares, the father and patron of Amazons, called Feasted by Women, Girl's Dad

Make Apollo equally terrible and beautifull

Make Athena a wise and stern patron of heroes, keep her a virgin goddess, make Annabeth Aphrodite's daughter or Ares's. Annie can still be her champion.

Make Demeter just as powerful as her brothers, no Big Three, but Big Six (only three have demigods kids in Myth, so Demeter can replace Hades)

Make Aphrodite's children just like Aeneas instead of pretty vain girls. Make the Love Goddess, daughter of Uranus, lover of Ares, scary and powerful and ancient.

Make them petty, and bad and good, and crazy and funny, loving and hateful, a mix between human and deity.

Make Hestia the "unclaimed kids' Cabin

Take off the whole World War 3 shit for Olympus's sake, its weird!

omg you mentioned Percy and cabin 4…

I feel bad for asking for all these analyse but like their really good so like please?

nooo dw!! i love doing these :D

honestly for percy's relationships with the cabins + campers, i think i touched on it kind of sort of pretty well here at least like as a passing surface level explanation of what i mean

once again, a lot of analyzing with a couple headcanons at the bottom LMAO

okay so like in regards to percy's relationships and bonds with camp in general - i explained it here but it was addressing an anti annabeth sentiment LMAO but this is the portion i'm talking about:

like that's not to say that percy is a horrible person, he's very empathetic and compassionate, but most people's first impression of him is not the best and that typically sets the stage for the entirety of the dynamic/relationship that's formed. anyway percy doesn't have these friendships and bonds with camp until botl out of guilt and shame from castor's death during the battle that he goes out of his way to become friends with the entirety of camp to the best of his ability:

(botl, tlo)

and this paired with camp's clear biases and prejudices and stereotypes - which is a big subplot in tlo:

the ares cabin is stereotyped as the warriors and empty headed fighters and that's the role they're meant to fulfill and clarisse is fed up by tlo - probably not the best time to make that point but ig it conveyed how serious she was about it. this also extends to the other cabins like the aphrodite cabin being airheads, gossips, etc. then the demeter cabin just becomes passive farmers for some reason as if demeter isn't one of the oldest gods, daughter of kronos and rhea, sister of zeus, poseidon, and hades, and the goddess that literally freezes humanity for 6 months bc her daughter resides in the underworld without her. as if aphrodite isn't one of the oldest gods born of ouranos and the sea who literally caused the trojan war - one of the bloodiest and tragic wars of that time. as if ares isn't also the god of courage.

(tlo)

i think we could also infer/interpret from this small snippet of the interaction with clarisse, that it shows percy's refusal to buy into the stereotypes and prejudice because clarisse doesn't blow up at him for his request for her to give the chariot to the apollo cabin and fight in the war - she understands that he's not brushing her off like the others. she knows he's asking it from a place of genuine care and concern for the survival and safety of everyone. IF percy had asked her that because he was minimizing her point of view on this topic, she would NOT be this calm. her response would've been more along the lines of something like "ofc u don't understand as a child of the big three - arrogant and entitled" blah blah blah. but she clenches her jaw and implores percy to ask for any other favor, implying that she would normally give in to his request had it not been in this specific situation. she knows he understands her point of view and the reason she's fighting this fight. he's trying to do what's best in regard to the war and she's trying to do what's best for her cabin in regard to the social structure and respectability within camp. he knows what she's fighting and why she's fighting it, he's not discounting it, he's not invalidating her. they both just have conflicting needs and differing levels of importance here.

anyway this prejudice ties into why hades children are outcasts and why nico never really had a home at camp - noted all the way back in tlt when grover laughs and brushes off percy's question regarding a potential hades cabin - but nico had a friend in percy. why poseidon children are isolated and the other campers keep their distance from percy in tlt out of both fear bc of the prophecy and him being a forbidden kid but also from poseidon's nature itself bc thalia comes back in som-ttc and camp seems to revere her in some regard that they don't hold percy in inherently despite her ALSO being a forbidden kid - he has to fight for that honor and respect, he has to earn it with them, but thalia claims it just because she's a daughter of zeus. there's a similar issue in camp jupiter with the way hazel and nico are outcasts in a way and reyna herself told percy that camp would never follow a child of hades/pluto. AND how jason almost immediately rose the ranks but he chose to climb the ranks properly without any assistance from his father and the power he inherits simply from being a son of zeus.

there is heavy prejudice based off parentage and percy understands that intimately then shows that he doesn't buy into that notion and doesn't hold those stereotypical ideals of the campers just because of who their parents are because he understands what that's like. he goes out of his way to protect and try to bring nico back under his wing despite him being a son of hades or maybe at least partially because he's a son of hades and percy knows no one else is going to look out for him so he does it himself - as well as out of guilt for the whole bianca thing and a sense of responsibility for the kid because bianca told percy herself that she was fine joining the hunters because she knew percy would protect nico in her absence - and because he genuinely cares for nico and sees himself/his inner child who was never protected within the underworld kids as well. but this isn't a post abt them so let me shut up and move on LMAO

that's also why percy's potential relationship with cabin 10 is soooo compelling bc. yeah. he wouldn't buy into that shallow notion of the aphrodite kids and he's shown to value their ideas and opinions and give weight to them where others would just brush it off:

(also percy just knowing that "givenchy" is referring to perfume...maybe i'm just stupid and uncultured but my first thought was it being like some faux leather or smth 😭 but i take that as further proof that percy + cabin 10 are siblings and hang out together TRUST 🙏) (tlo)

and so why wouldn't all this extend to demeter's kids? this is all i could find of percy's interactions/references to demeter kids:

(tlt, tlo, tlo, tlo)

so like percy is able to recognize their strength and power and abilities, he just also recognizes that they tend to be pretty passive or maybe just...resigned to the box the rest of camp pushes them into. he doesn't underestimate them - he gives them a tunnel to protect and says that they created a jungle that kept a squadron of titan army demigods at bay. he pairs them with satyrs/nature spirits there as well and he said in som that he's always had a soft spot for the satyrs and in ttc we see him saving and protecting sea creatures.

I THINK. all of this combined. his ability to recognize objective powers, his refusal to buy into the surface level perceptions of the cabins, and his open mindedness to like literally everyone, the way he gives everyone an opportunity to prove themselves to him before he casts judgement - as we see with ethan when percy finds him with luke and gives him the opportunity to come to camp instead (twice actually) and only operates based off his experience with ethan and never thinks less or looks down upon him for being a child of a minor goddess.

even his first interaction with clarisse, he just corrects his name without jumping to conclusions yet then clarisse keeps showing her ass and then he insults her. then later on sees her interaction with ares and his tone immediately shifts and changes with her as we see further in the short story with the chariot where percy tells clarisse that she's one of his friends. it's not that people have to fight to earn his respect or break out of these boxes he's shoved them into, he views and respects people based off of their behavior and actions. its why he's such a nuisance to the gods because they aren't entitled to his respect, they have to earn it, and a lot of the time they can't accept it and throw tantrums instead of being better.

um. anyways. yeah i think that could VERY easily apply to percy's potential relationship with cabin 4. especially post botl where he goes out of his way to make friends with the entirety of camp. and with the linked post all the way at the top + the hc from my drew/percy post and cabin 10 teaching him how to fight against charmspeak & how to use his looks to his advantage = i think percy learns a lot of his skill from every cabin/camper he can. water is adaptable and reflective and i think it would make sense for the underdog to mingle with the other underdogs and learn their skills and talents and use them to his advantage, sharpening his own abilities and giving him all these edges in battle, AND making him a hero for every camper to look up to and think to themselves "he's like me so i'm like him and i can be like him"

like he does it pretty obviously with annabeth where all the way back in tlt she says "even strength has to bow to wisdom" and he carries that for YEARS. all the way up to moa where he's facing chrysaor and percy's strength and skill with a sword is beyond matched leaving percy getting his ass handed to him twice (2), so he recalls the story of the dolphin men and uses that against them - playing smarter, not harder. fighting like a child of athena. he's fast and sneaky like a child of hermes. he spent all that time in the forges with the children of hephaestus. he's wild and chaotic like the ocean/poseidon...and arguably like dionysus too...were he not being forcibly soberized LMAO

anyway he so eagerly accepts frank as a descendant of poseidon and tells tyson that frank is essentially their brother despite being like fifty generations removed and frank being his like. great great great great great great great great great great great grand nephew lol so in regard to cabin 4/demeter's kids, he's able to recognize their power (as i screenshotted above) but also notice that they just don't use it - until percy instructs them to in the war and then they create a jungle in the tunnel. i don't think it's that far out of the realm of possibility for percy to look at cabin four, demeter's kids, demeter as his aunt and her kids as his cousins, notice that they're overlooked like hades kids and poseidon kids to an extent, and just. take them in. the way he does with the underworld kids.

that actually ties into why i think he clashes sooooo bad with zeus kids (among other reasons too) but not the point LMAO um but yeah i do think cabin 4 are his cousins and he claims them as such and they preen under his attention and appreciation and they hang out together too 🙂‍↕️

honestly i think this headcanon stems from atla and the specific movements and motions the characters do to bend the elements, but i think percy hanging out with cabin 4 and watching the way they command the plants and the way their hands move, he would replicate it and it could teach him precision and how to command water a lot more accurately. because percy uses his powers like a battering ram. he uses the sheer force and power to overwhelm his opponents but he doesn't really like. water bend a water whip the way katara does and i think if he spent time with the demeter kids and learned the motions they use to gently guide and control and command the plants, i think he would learn to mimic the motions and control the water a lot more precisely AND could lead to him bending plants the way swamp benders in avatar are water benders just controlling plants by controlling the water within them, also similar to katara's fight with hama and the way she drew the water from the grass to fight.

anyway i adore the idea of percy being like best friends with cabin 10, cabin 4, and nature spirits because they're so often overlooked, ignored, and underestimated and percy knows what that's like from even before he was a demigod and he levels with them and respects them and doesn't belittle or judge them.

i honestly feel like percy is the one to train them to fight because other campers would make some snide comments about children of aphrodite/demeter wanting to learn to fight and not being so passive and useless but percy hears they wanna learn and he's just like "ok yeah sure. with what? sword? dagger? u might want someone else to train u if ur asking abt a bow tho" its ALSO why i think that drew fights EXACTLY like percy bc he was the one to train her and she wields a sword exactly like him
