The Senior Year Adventures

Full credit to this post, but if Rick actually remebered what his own protagonist did, than this would be a far more likely outcome. So, in honour of that, I've decided to theorise which minor gods or goddesses would help Percy and what kind of "quests" they would give.

Iris: She would probably just ask Percy to eat a full box of her cupcakes, or just help around R.O.F.L. (Rainbow Organic Foods & Lifestyles) for maybe an hour or so.

Hecate: I guess pet-sitting should be relatively easy (except it wasn't because some magic potion), but she could also just send Percy to buy some treats for Hecuba and Gale instead, which is much easier.

Hypnos: Maybe get like fifteen hours sleep, Percy deserves it.

Hebe: Okay, so she's the goddess of youth, fertility, and forgiveness, so hear me out, she tells Percy to forgive himself for torturing Akhlys because of the guilt he holds for scaring Annabeth. It wasn't his fault, he was in Tartarus, and I bet there is unresolved trauma surrounding that, so his quest could be to forgive himself.

Tyche: to use her blessing of luck for random things. I think that would be really funny because, just imagine, the goddess of luck, fortune, and destiny, told the demigod that is pressured by some great destiny to use a blessing of luck she gave to just mess around for one whole day. An ice cream place that doesn't usually have any ice cream that is blue? Well, they do for that one day. And more.

Nemesis: To get revenge against Travis and Connor for a prank they pulled like three years ago. Considering Percy sparing Ethan Nakamura twice, Nemesis should definitely favour him, and I can just imagine her quest being "revenge for a prank that happened years ago, hit 'em now" or something.

Ascelpius: To go and see a therapist at least once. Ascelpius is the god of medecine and doctors. He would take on look at Percy "I wanted to drown" Jackson and say "yep, your quest is to see a therapist".

Nike: Probably win a spar against someone at Camp Half-Blood. Gain victory and win like a champion. Roaring crowds, an arena, and a victory? Quest done.

Aletheia: So, she's the goddess of personifying truth, right? Like, the naked truth, unconcealed, etc. Well, Percy has a lot of secrets. He's never, canonically, told anyone about the abuse he and his mother suffered under Gabe. Sally probably told Paul, but Percy has never actually told someone, so maybe her quest could be finding someone to actually talk to about it. Maybe Sally and him have a heart-to-heart, so we finally get some proper mother-son moments.

There are obviously more options, I mean there are loads of minor gods out there and they all benefited from Percy's wishes when he was 16, but these are a few I thought of.

Of course, honourary mention to Hestia, who would probably tell Percy to just rest, have a good meal, and relax for the first time in years. But, yeah, if the Senior Year Adventures had been of Percy finally being respected and acknowledged by his title as Saviour of Olympus and the kid who turned down godhood so as to better the lives of demigods and minor gods, well, that would be much nicer.

just realised I never posted this. Clovis headcanons (+ general Hypnos kid hcs) because he's one of my favourite characters and Hypnos is my favourite god

- knows how to give people piercings. Him and Nyssa did Nico's.

- so many people tell him he looks like his dad's hadesgame design. he can't even refute it bc he does

- does volunteer nightshifts in the infirmary, particularly in late spring/ early summer when there's a bunch of new campers

- has met over a dozen of his immortal siblings and remembers all about them

- the only one he doesn't like is Morpheus, because he recruited all of his human siblings to be in the titan army.

- has a pair of really small wings, one just above and behind each ear

- very birdlike, chirps and trills, bed resembles a nest, loves 'preening' his friends

- besties with Nico and Lou Ellen

- has a queerplatonic relationship with Pollux

- while he rarely needs to fight, when he does he'll use a branch of poplar wood intertwined with poppies almost as a wand to conduct his magic.

-habitual weed smoker

- yes, he can hypnotise people.

- one of the first things Hypnos kids have to learn is controlling their hypnotic abilities- altering the way they speak and move to make it less mesmerising.

- if they're in the heat of battle they can forgo it- their allies won't be affected because they're actively channelling their power elsewhere

- you know that one meme, 'not a good sign: this zookeeper is hauling ass.'? that's how the rest of camp feels when a Hypnos kid starts getting worked up about something.

-hypnos kids are usually very heavy sleepers - however if they're dream hopping, and/ or haven't severed their 'dream' and 'waking' selves properly, they are prone to sleepwalking (particularly if they are younger or out of practice)

- most of them also have narcolepsy, hypersomnia, a disrupted circadian rhythm, or a combination.

-lucky boy here gets narcolepsy and a delayed circadian rhythm that makes him pretty much nocturnal.

- I've said it before and I'll say it again: champion of Thanatos.

-he doesn't even really need a champion he just felt like pissing his brother off by claiming one of his kids.

-another one I've mentioned before; Hypnos kids are made of dream mist. the amount varies but usually around 50% of their bodies are made of it. (their father's divine... genetics? blessing? idk demigods are weird and their parents pulling shit like this doesn't make figuring things out any easier) (<- said like this isn't just something that I decided should be true just bc it's cool)

-while Hypnos adores humans, them spending ~1/3 of their lives in his domain and all, he doesn't have demigod children that often as he already has 1000 immortal children

-even so, he does make an effort to form a bond with his mortal children, and is probably one of the most proactive gods in that regard (do NOT tell the other gods though they will get pissed)

-cabin 15 has an "open door policy" of sorts, where anyone, whether they're a camper, hunter, visitor from another pantheon, monster, mortal, god or anyone else, is allowed to stay overnight or request assistance with sleep issues.

-they also probably help Mr D's kids grow weed

Jobs That Would Attract Gods of Sleep and Dream

Ergo Hermes, Hypnos, and Morpheus

Inspired by @bugwolfsstuff posts and heacanons on said gods.

Mattress salesman

Dream Interpretaters

Therapists

Sleep Specialists(doctors that specialize in narcolepsy, sleep apnea, insomnia ect.)

Painters(specially those draw inspiration for their paintings from their dreams)

People that work the graveyard shift

Mattress testers

Fantasy Writers

People that work near poppy fields( park rangers, employees at botanical gardens ect.)

Sheep herders( Cause you know saying to count sheep to help you fall asleep. Also some myths say Hypnos was in love with Endymion who was sometimes portrayed as a Shepard)

Also I think that they would be attracted to people who fall into their domains such as those who have sleep disorders, work at night, take frequent naps, or are active day dreamers ect.

Let me know if you guys think of anymore things that would attract the lords of pillows and yawns. I hope this has helped inspire your Percy Jackson and the Olympians oc’s.

[calypso-the-nymph]

Headcanon that Thanatos (but I think he doesnt have kids) and Hades kids (even Hypnos, maybe) have more health issues because of their connection with death and the Underworld

[rainfallingonasummereve]

PJO HEADCANON

children of hypnos, after analyzing another camper’s dreams, will sit down with the children of hecate to use tarot cards to try and make sense of them

[spookedbees]

ngl a dream battle between these two would actually be super cool

Sooooo I was playing Hades and you know how Hypnos use his coat as a support for him to float? That looks a lot like a cloud to me. And it made me think of him gifting Clovis with a cloud to take care of him.

Clovis has narcolepsy, so his chances of falling asleep at random times are very high. Sometimes he's tired enough to fall asleep while walking or going down stairs, which is very dangerous. To take care of his son, Hypnos gave him this fluffy cloud that appears to catch Clovis before he falls. He can control it to walk around when he is awake. If he falls asleep, the cloud carries him back to his cabin for safe sleep.

This cloud was a small gift, but really helps Clovis a lot. It also allows him to enjoy the camp events and interact with the other demigods without using up so much energy, as it saves him the fatigue of standing for so long and also keeps him less stressed.

And if any demigods are really sleep-deprived and tired, Clovis can enlarge the cloud to fit both of them. Sometimes he pulls random camp mates in for a nap. That cloud is ridiculously soft and warm, you'd be asleep before you even notice

I'm thinking of Clovis just pulling Mitchell and Ellis in for naps. Ellis hates it, but can't resist something so comfortable. Mitchell is always willing to snuggle with Clovis, especially if he can get some affection.

More PJO son of Hypnos OC rambles however, for ease of reading my OC's name is Tāy.

Onto my ramble:

I just realized the funniest thing about the Hades cabin.

I'm currently rereading through the books but Nico di Angelo designed the outside of the Hades Cabin sometime in 'The Last Olympian' but on the inside it's later described as:

"Inside the cabin, the beds are coffin shaped with polished mahogany frames, brass railings, bloodred velvet pillows and sheets. Nico expresses distaste at this, because it seems too much like stereotypical vampire coffins." (per the Wiki)

This made me chuckle because my OC, Tāy, is obsessed with the concept of American/European vampires even as a young teen. Tāy has also chronologically been at camp longer than even Annabeth for reasons I'll post about later (no he's not a lotus casino victim).

Well, both Tāy and Nico disappear around the beginning of HOO to head to Camp Jupiter. Leaving behind the empty Hades Cabin for the rest of camp to deal with.

My conclusion: For many at Camp Half-Blood, the first two (known) experiences with claimed Chthonic demigod children is some guy who wouldn't stop talking about vampires and another guy who raises skeletons/talks to ghosts.

And because no one really talked to the son of Hades for his opinion on decor they defaulted to the older, more well known son of Hypnos's interests and just went "eh close enough."
