Walker? Sir? Mr. Actor?

Jokes aside. That look? That anger? Percy finally having enough and being pissed off with a God who doesn’t care about his children, insulted his friends, ruined their quest and wants to start an unnecessary war where he has nothing to lose? But most importantly… Percy literally QUAKING with unchecked rage for a God who came in the way of him saving his mom?

Somewhere in the Aphrodities au

Hermes, reading from a cue card: What's something you mother has said that changed your brain brain chemstry? Oohh, ok, some motherly wisdom, Ares, you go first.

Ares,: Just because you could, doesn't mean you should?

Hermes: That's a good, not sure if you follow it, but it's good advice

Ares: Fuck you

Hermes: You wish. Hephaestus, we're skipping you because it's gonna be depressing—

Hephaestus, sigh of relief: Thank fuck

Hermes: —Apollo?

Apollo: Well, my mother has imparted with plenty of wisdom over the years, but I'd say that what has impacted me the most was her saying that dreams are only unrealistic if you don't have what it takes to make them come true.

Hermes, nodding: Wise auntie, you should still give up on our cousin though,—*Dodges Apollo's sandal* Touchy, I see, and speaking of our most beautiful cousin, Dionysus, what has your mother said that changed your brain chemstry?

Dionysus: Has it be something she said to me or that I overheard saying someone else?

Hermes, thinking then shrugs: Can be both.

Dionysus, takes a gulp of his wine: If it's something she said to me then it'd be "If you're in a situation where someone's mom is going to cry over what happened to their child, make sure it's the other's mom crying"

Hermes, laughs: I did not expect anything else from Lady Aphrodities herself. Now, what's the other one?

Dionysus: While you're here crying over him, he's out there helping someone else put it back in after it slipped out

Hermes:...

Dionysus, solemn nod: Changed my life

One thing which is really interesting to me regarding the dynamic between Percy and Mars/ Ares, is that every single time Mars describes the kind of person he respects, or the attributes he appreciates in mortals, he just describes Percy to a T without realizing it.

He says he values bravery, loyalty, brains and a sense of duty, and then has beef with a character who has

shown absolutely incredible acts of bravery (fighting the minotaur, visiting the underworld, fighting atlas, fighting Kampe, the entirety of the battle of Manhatten, falling into Tartarus, etc.)

whose loyalty is one of his most defining features

who has been shown to be incredibly intelligent and strategic (defeating Procrustes, defeating the Nemean lion, tricking Nereus, again Manhattan, etc.)

and who has on many instances been willing to sacrifice either his own life or even risk the lives of the people close to him for the sake of the greater good (leaving his mom behind in the underworld, asking about the whereabouts of the monster Artemis was hunting instead of Annabeth's, fighting in Manhattan, despite believing the prophecy meant that he would die, etc.)

It's so funny to me how his dislike of Percy is only based on circumstances. Like, ignoring their personal history with each other, Percy is literally Mars/ Ares' ideal version of a demigod.

In my au that's basically a war god throuple, if Ares was trapped in a jar like he was in the og myths Persedea would absolutely lose it.

Her and Aphrodite would be looking for him everywhere and make it everyone's problem.

Zeus made the mistake of stating that Ares disappearance didn't matter and should be looked at as a good thing and Persedea took that personally on her husbands half.

The Goddess of Loyalty proceeded to take a play out of Demeter's book and take all Loyalty from the Earthly planes until Ares was found.

The amount of wars that broke out as friends became foes, neighbours turned against neighbours, sons slaughtered fathers and the people revolted against their godly appointed kings shook the very foundations of society and disrupted almost all forms of worship.

Aphrodite and Persedea both fueled the flames of wars in order to sustain Ares wherever he was being held. Acting to fulfil prayers made to the War god in order to keep his worship strong whilst everyone else's faltered.

When Zeus tried to order the young goddess into compliance Persedea threatened to start stripping loyalty from immortals.

With every god now trying to find the lost God, it wasn't long until Ares was found.

Hermes who found and freed his brother was met with gratitude from the usually gruff God and his two Goddess.

A friendship would form from this incident that was unexpected but valued greatly by both sides. The two men would lean on that bond when later ones wife and the others son disappeared and the other gods refused to act.

Despite most moving on from the incident Zeus never forgot what Persedea had done, nor what she had threatened to do.

The only relationship worse affected than the one between king and subject was that between father and daughter when Persedea learned that the jar that had imprisoned Ares had been provided to her giant half brothers by none other than her own Father.

Persedea did not blame him for gifting them the object, she blamed him for not telling her once it became apparent that Ares was missing.

Time and again Poseidon's actions had only brought Persedea strife and she had accepted it as the fate of being an unwanted daughter begot of his enemy.

However, this time he had gone too far as now his actions were affecting not just her but her husband.

Still, it's a little sad that PJO is a live-action and not an animation, especially with Arcane and Spider-Verse turning the world of animation upside down. And honestly, I wouldn't have minded just TLO being animated, because, imagine how insane the hidden frames would go.

Like the scene with Clarrise and the drakon, and she's running at him, and for a few frames, she changes into Achilles, Silena into Patroclus, and the drakon into Hector, or Clarrise and Silena changing into their parents for a split second.

Or whenever Percy feels the curse of Achilles working, he, for a frame, changes into Achilles or Luke.

Any appearance of Luke is him flashing between his younger self, his current self, and Kronos.

This is your reminder that in ToA, Apollo canonically mentions:

Hades is a grumpy napper(wake Hades up prematurely and you were likely to end up as a nuclear-blast shadow on his wall.)

Athena always wins scrabble(once she played abaxial on a triple, and Zeus lightning-bolted of the top of Mount Parnassus in his rage)

Hephaestus and Ares caused Three-Mile Island with a chainsaw fight(Ares insulted Hephaestus' bell bottom pants)

Demeter once cursed him so that every clothing he put on would immediately sprout(He told her "They're just seeds!")

Dionysus insists on keeping old casks of wine in his cellar that have long turned to vinegar

The Greek gods are truly strange

Poor Ares was locked in a bronze jar for thirteen months in the myths. I don't know about you, but mama Perse isn't going to stand for that, so those giants are in for a bad time.

Now the myth has Otis and Ephialtes construct mountains around Olympus to kidnap Artemis and Hera, respectively. Well, in the Kronide AU, Ares overhears them plotting to kidnap his mum and takes exception to it. What he doesn't know is that they planned on him doing as such. They spring a trap when Ares shows up, holding the god to ransom in a bronze jar.

The story turns into a hostage negotiation. Even if Ares is immortal, the giants could cut him to pieces and scatter the remains, so Perse has no choice but to bring Artemis and cave to the demands. Otis and Ephialtes immediately host a wedding with the promise that they would kill Ares if she ever goes back on her word.

Unbeknownst to them, Perse has Hermes is in the next room over freeing Ares. He does so and the two crash the wedding. What happens next is immortalised in Greek comedy: pissed-off goddesses in wedding dresses, Hermes looking smug, Ares absolutely livid and two rapidly paling giants. Meanwhile Apollo is nearby playing sniper in case they run.

This could also tie into the myth of how Hermes was made an Olympian. He proves his worth and loyalty to the family, so Zeus rewards him with a seat on the council.
