pollux and drew with horrible coping mechanisms in response to castor and silena’s deaths (and betrayal in her case) ❤️ pollux and drew destroying all their friendships with everyone at camp to isolate themselves away from anyone who might care and try to help them ❤️ drew pushing away all forms of love so it can’t hurt her the way silena did ❤️ pollux pumping himself full of drugs and alcohol to indulge in his father’s domain in the worst way possible to feel closer to castor ❤️ yay ❤️
Children of Dionysus are extremely over dramatic and good at getting attention.
Some children of Dionysus can talk to Leopards (like how Percy can talk to horses), and all children of Dionysus seem to prefer felines over all.
Dolphins hate Children of Dionysus from the time their dad turned a crew of pirates into dolphins.
Children of Dionysus are surprisingly good at make up, especially stage make up.
Children of Dionysus also seem stronger, or their godly half seems to come out more in bars, clubs, and theaters since they’re in Dionysus’ domains (kind of like how Percy is stronger in the water).
Some children of Dionysus have a love for movie and tv shows, especially on how they are produced, since movies and tv shows are a modern version of theatre.
Chiron had to leave Camp Half Blood for a weekend for some reason so he left Dionysus in charge of the camp. Chiron was certain that when he’d return camp would be chaos and the campers angry. It wasn’t completely. The campers were actually happy and seemed to enjoy the weekend. Turns out Dionysus took them to Broadway, claiming he just missed good theatre.
I have the hc that because mr D is the god of madness, Pollux can see people's mental states or madness.
And this typically manifests as like spikes or colors behind them. It's not reserved to demigods and mortals though.
Looking at gods' mental states is like looking at a supernova. Bright, sharp tangling bursts of colour that obstruct everything.
It overwhelms him most times, hurts even but he adores it.
Looking at Zeus' madness the first time he felt light headed, too bright, too sharp, too messy, at some point he was starting to see things in those beautiful colors. When his dad pulled him away he still felt the imprint of the colors burning in his retinas.
He's attracted to the madness, feeds off it somewhat. That's his nature.
But he's moral enough to realize that's wrong to desire. So he got to work. Threw himself into studying psychology. That way he can be around what he loves and still help people.
It works for a bit but his friends aren't enough to sate him. He desires more. So he starts looking to the gods. He studies them and their trauma. If he pushes himself he can see things in the colours like he did with Zeus.
He starts writing things down, composing them into a comprehensive book. Castor wanted nothing to do with it: Its too dangerous.
The first version got destroyed in one of the battles. He saved what he could and revised it.
Somehow Chiron got wind of it. He told him to stop, took Dionysus' file (Pollux doesn't wonder what he'd do with it. His dad was the only one that knew to hide his madness from him. It was only his observations and what he could dig out of the man-god) And told them to destroy it all, lest the gods find out.
He didnt stop. This was his opus. He took that as a sign to revise it all and build it more, leading it to his current version 3. He organised it into three files: the Kronides, the 2nd generation and Aphrodite.
He will likely be like his grandmother, Semele. He will die trying to touch divinity when he shouldn't. He doesn't dislike that idea.
People I think demigods would send their last letters too (minus their significant other and gods of course) bc I watched way too many of those to my dear TikToks
