Can we have some Chaos 3.0 headcanons please? Specifically Brian and Percy since we don't see much of them to hanging out one on one-and they had an awkward enough first meeting (her deciding to keep him for entertainment)
okay so. the first six months or so of Brian and Percy's acquaintance is Rough, and basically consists of Percy being like "would you control the human!" @ Linda and Brian being like "actually i dont have to listen to either of you, see watch *blows a huge raspberry directly in percy's face*"
Percy of course finds this infuriating
But by watching Linda and Brian (and the rest of the Sanders-Waller-Gage clan, though mostly those two) interact it gradually comes to dawn on her that her perception of the Spider Princes family (ie somewhere between hostages and pets of Virgil) is like... wildly off base.
Remus especially helps with this, because he WILL call her a "presumptuous little snot goblin" to her face for being rude to Brian and Percy 1) has a big old hero worship squish on him second only to the one she has on Logan and 2) communicates pretty much exclusively in insults, so he's speaking her language.
She does apologize, in a very terrible Percy way, which basically consists of
a sputtering, furious apology where she looks anywhere but your face the whole time, and
immediately acting like the conversation never happened and screeching in embarrassment if you try to bring it up for the rest of time, so of course Linda and Brian do this constantly
