Did you know you are listed in the "Top Legundo blogs" first before Legundo himself?

I just thought this was a funny image.

This song is so Married Valgrace. And ik I’d say that about every single song including the Kahoot Lobby Music but this one is especially the vibe

LMAO you're so real for the Kahoot Lobby Music thing, if I'm fixated on something everything is about that something now. Sorry to the books I'm reading and shows I'm watching you are now all AUs of this one thing I like

Anyway you're so right and you should say it (and also the ending of the song made me sob, oh my god? Evil?)

I also feel a very strong need to retaliate now /Ih) so may I suggest I Wanna Grow Old With You as a married Valgrace song?

So. A Star Wars Lost Trio Crossover AU. Spill.

There’s so much lore to this universe it’s actually ridiculous. There’s actually more but I’ll just ramble a bit for now

I originally came up with it for the lost trio week crossover prompt but didn’t end up finishing that fic because it was way too ambitious and I do not have the commitment for another longer fic right now

Anyway, backstory beats, starting with Leo:

-During the first year of the Clone Wars, Jedi Knight Esperanza Valdez crash lands on Dathomir. She spends a bunch of time trying to fix the Argo, but eventually has a run-in with an injured nightsister and nurses her back to health (because at heart Esperanza truly believes that you should help anyone you can). Nightsister in question takes her back to her clan and Esperanza stays with them and Leo is born during that time (does he have a second mom that’s a space witch in this universe? Possibly). Her and tiny Leo barely escape on the Argo when canon bad stuff happens and after that he grows up on Lothal, which is secure for now because it’s an unimportant world that the newly formed Empire isn’t super interested in. Esperanza has also technically been declared dead years ago, which helps.

-Leo grows up fixing up speeders and ships with his mom. He struggles to use Jedi powers, but he’s got a proficiency for nightsister magick, so Esperanza teaches him everything she picked up on Dathomir.

-Important note here: Leo is specifically a trans guy in this AU. His ancestors take zero issues with him learning magick when they still see him as a girl, but after he comes out they’re refusing to misgender him, meaning he’s technically not allowed to use magick because he’s a guy. Imagine trying to make magic fire with a bunch of annoyed ghosts hissing in your ears the whole time. Leo has a grand time. His relationship with his magick is very complex but Esperanza has always been very supportive of him doing whatever feels right to him. She loves her son so much.

-When Leo is fourteen, his mom disappears. He assumes the Empire found her but he doesn’t know for sure and he’s desperate to get her back.

Quick cut to Piper (speaking of cuts, I’ll put the rest of this under the cut because this post is way too long):

-Piper McLean is born to actor Tristan McLean and an unknown woman a year or two before the end of the Clone Wars. Shortly after her birth, her mother disappears, leaving her father heartbroken.

-Piper grows up all over the place. She’s traveling planet to planet with her dad, who will go wherever his next project calls him, and basically does whatever he can to make sure to keep Piper out of trouble with the Empire.

-When Piper is seven she becomes friends with the son of the lead actress that her dad is filming some sort of awful romcom with. Her and Jason only know each other for this one project and lose sight of each other after that, but because of their parents both being famous there’s a few stupid articles floating around the holonet speculating about these eight year olds having crushes on each other and whatnot

-Piper’s powers gradually appear over the years. This kid is extremely good at force persuasion, but she’s never been trained so mostly does it subconsciously. Tristan started picking up on this and was terrified she’d be taken away from him and the first time she got so upset she started levitating things he decided he had to take her out of the spotlight for her safety and sent her away to various Outer Rim boarding schools to make sure the Empire won’t find her

-Piper does not take this well and deals with it by constantly getting into shenanigans and getting herself kicked out of boarding schools.

-She meets Leo during one of these shenanigans, details unclear.

-She learns about his mom disappearing and has now also seen a bunch of shit regarding how the Empire treats people so she asks her dad if she can please please go back to traveling the galaxy with him she’s totally gonna behave and totally won’t use this as an excuse to spread messages of rebellion or help the new friend she’s brought along find intel on what happened to his mom <3

-So then her and Leo are going around the galaxy causing Problems for the Empire, featuring Leo’s beloved astromech Festus and the space ship he fixed up to try and find his mom, lovingly named the Argo II after his mom’s ship that disappeared along with her.

-Piper also tries to teach Leo force persuasion, with, uh. Mixed results

And, last but not least, Jason:

-He’s born on Coruscant, son of a famous actress and the senator of Coruscant.

-His older sister Thalia has been around since before the Temple fell but either their parents refused to give her away for training since there was no gain in it for them or the Jedi found her too late, looked at this little girl with obvious anger issues and were like “Nope” LOL

-Jason has no force powers aside from premonition that bad stuff is going to happen but he isn’t even sure that’s a power, that might just be anxiety LOL

-He’s seven when his sister disappears. Her powers have always been super obvious so her parents basically volunteered her for Project Harvester (their dad gets brownie points with the Emperor in return for sending Thalia off to get Inquisitor training, they get to brag that their daughter is doing something important, everyone wins (except for Jason and Thalia))

-Jason can never live up to his sister who’s off doing big important things elsewhere that he never got details about. He gets sent off to the Coruscant Imperial Academy where , gets top grades, and grows up thinking the Empire is genuinely trying to help people.

-During his final exams, he sacrifices a win over saving one of his team members (Gwen) who’s gravely injured during the training exercise. His instructors are displeased by this and basically deem him too soft to handle anything important. Reyna doesn’t want him to be punished alone so she says it was a mutual decision (they had shared leadership) and they’re therefore shipped off to unimportant Outer Rim world Lothal.

-Jason doesn’t get that this is a punishment because he thinks all parts of the galaxy are equally important (and he’s honestly just glad to be far, far away from his parents)

-With Lothal being where Leo grew up, this is where Jason eventually meets Leo for the first and Piper for the second time. Shenanigans ensue.

Hey since I’m probably never gonna finish the PJO Next Gen Fic, do you want to know the big twist about Isabella’s godly heritage that I was trying not to spoil?

Yes I would absolutely love to!!

Also if you have any snippets/basic plot stuff you wanna yap about I’d still love to hear it even if you never finish the fic!! Lots of the Sofía stuff I have lives mostly in my DMs with my friend. Sometimes it’s just fun to ramble headcanons and ideas at people without the stress or expectations of an actual later fic looming in the background

[demigod-shenanigans]

Saw your post saying you wanted to play that word game again! Is there a limit to how many I can do?

I used a random word generator for most of these.

1. Blade

2. Falling

3. Hurt

4. Addition

5. Beat

6. Reverse

7. Child

8. Swing

9. Birthday

10. Faith

There isn't a limit! I mostly just do this because I find them fun, so l'm delighted you send a bunch :D

Blade: Piper reached for the blade at her belt.

Falling: Jason really wanted to pass out, but considering he and Piper were currently free falling, that would have been seriously inconvenient.

Hurt: "No, that's okay," Jason said immediately, ignoring the sluggishness of his thoughts and the way his chest hurt when he breathed.

Addition: As an additional way to keep himself busy, he made little toys for Georgina. [Not entirely the right word, but this is the closest thing I have]

Beat: Leo shrugged, putting on his best 'everything is great'-expression while he failed to beat his memories off with a stick.

Reverse: Not in any of my WIPs right now, apparently!

Child: Leo had been losing everything to this idiotic war since he'd been a child-since before he could even comprehend what he was, or what any of it meant, or why it was happening to him.

Swing: Once, he'd "upgraded" the swing at the playground because he'd wanted to know what flying felt like, earning himself a hospital trip and a very stern talking-to from his mom.

Birthday: "You're headed to New Rome for Jason's birthday."

Faith: "You must have faith." [Wow that one is mega vague out of concept LOL]

These are from a few different fics! Several of them are from the Orpheus Eurydice fic, but I’m not telling you which ones or what order they appear in (except for 2 & 3, those I’ll confirm are from a different fic)

Send me a word and I’ll answer it with a sentence from one of my WIPs it appears in!

Hi I’m super stuck on the “Nicknames/Wilderness”  prompt for Day 1 of Lost Trio Week, and for various reasons I only have a week to write something. If you could be so kind as to drop a few hcs/thoughts that might get me inspired to write, that would be very much appreciated! (The writer’s block is real)

Laughing a little bit because that’s the prompt I’m also stuck on

I will share headcanons, too, but a general gentle reminder: if it’s too much or you’re not feeling a certain prompt, you can absolutely participate in lost trio week without participating in every single day. Also not sure how you’re doing it, but personally, I’m not writing these in order. I started with Day Four because that was the one I felt most inspired to work on

That being said:

-If we’re talking Wilderness as in Wilderness School, Leo and Piper clicked the moment they met. I’m not sure what it was, exactly—maybe he made a stupid joke and she was the only one that laughed. Maybe she caught him trying to play a prank on someone and wanted in on it. Whatever it was, they’ve been inseparable ever since. It could be interesting to explore some of those memories, or how they looked like with Jason added, or maybe what it would have been like if Jason had actually ended up at the school with them somehow.

-When it comes to Wilderness as more of a general concept, one of the specific silly things my brain just went to was camping trip. Piper has little to no skills when it comes to that stuff. She’s lived in mansions and had private chefs for most of her childhood. The closest she’s ever come to camping has been missions and the time her and her dad camped in the yard of her grandpa’s old home when she was ten, but that wasn’t real camping. Jason has lived in the woods before when he was very little and probably has skills based on that and some stuff he picked up from survival classes in that context, but living with wolves is very different from regular camping and if he’s ever had to apply his theoretical Camp knowledge, he cannot remember it. Leo has the most practical skills when it comes to sleeping outside but he was just kind of making shit up as he went and didn’t really have equipment. —This is all to say they take like an hour failing to set up a tent. Leo has never been more frustrated in his life because he rebuilt a celestial bronze dragon from scratch but is somehow being foiled by a tent instruction manual. Jason keeps bringing up that sleeping under the stars at age three wasn’t that bad. Piper goes from frustrated to laughing hysterically because this being the thing they fail at after every ridiculous impossible task they’ve mastered is objectively hilarious. The whole trip is a disaster for a variety of reasons but I feel like they end up having a great time

-I’m not very good with Nicknames (neither as a prompt nor as a general concept honestly, I’m not really someone who gives people nicknames a lot), but one of the things that comes to mind there could be these changing over the years? Leo and Piper go from strangers to friends and use nicknames for each other for the first time, and it means something, because Leo’s not stuck around another person for long enough to come up with a nickname in years. Jason getting a nickname from Piper and Leo and not really being sure why it feels as strange as it does since he doesn’t have his memories—Reyna doesn’t feel like she’s the type of person to really use nicknames, and since everyone at Camp Jupiter saw him as a leader, I don’t feel like they’d casually call him by some nickname either. Jason hearing that nickname and it being meaningful because for the first time in ages he feels like a kid instead of a leader. Jason getting to use a nickname for Leo and/or Piper for the first time and it feeling significant for the same reason. Jason and Piper post-breakup trying to figure out what to call each other now because they’re objectively better as friends but it’s still weird and new and everything is different and it’s too strange to keep using the same nicknames they did when they were dating.

Hope some of this was helpful!! Please feel free to use however much or little of it as you’d like! Writing this out actually helped me massively because it made me realize I’m a massive idiot and do have a concept I want to use for this prompt (not any of the above ones so again please feel free to grab them if you’d like!) so thank you for that haha

DID YOU SEE ANDOR SEASON 2??

I NEED TO RANT ABOUT IT

I’m still watching it! This semester has been kind of a mess and I’m super behind on a whole bunch of things 😭

Hoping to get caught up soon but I’ve got a really awful exam on Friday and then another one on Tuesday so it might take a minute unfortunately

[demigod-shenanigans]

I’m not sure how or where I’m gonna use this hc, but if the Seven ever get a chance to see their tapestries woven (or knitted, or crocheted, or whatever) by the Fates, I just love the idea of this imagery of there being a visible knot in Leo’s and Hazel’s tapestries where their strings were originally cut and then woven back in from the time that they died. And like… how are they gonna react? What’s that gonna make them feel? Hazel kind of got a chance to process her own death while she spent 70 years in asphodel, and afterwards got a chance to talk about it with her brother but it always seemed that Leo was desperately trying to avoid thinking about it (although his characterisation in TOA went kind of downhill as he was just reduced to comedic relief and he (and, by extension, the reader) didn’t get a chance to sit and process any of the shit that happened to him in Blood of Olympus). Seeing a physical representation of that event might bring up shit for the both of them (and in a world where we get Jason back, him too). Idk it’s just a thought I had at 3am but it’s fascinating to think about.

So sorry for taking literally forever to answer is but anyway, this is a fascinating concept.

I’m especially wondering how Hazel’s tapestry would look. Leo’s would obviously have a knot and then continue right on since he wasn’t dead for very long, but how does it work for Hazel? Is there a bigger knot? Is her first stay in the underworld woven into the tapestry because it’s a part of her story that was foretold a long time ago?

I’m genuinely so glad that after Hazel came back to life she had some time to settle in at camp Jupiter and wasn’t tossed right into a quest because she really did need that and it’s very unusual for a demigod to actually get that. I also really hope we get some glimpses into her early bonding moments with Nico in the new book because I’d love to see that. Leo definitely didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about the fact that he was dead. This is not helped by the fact that we only get one very short chapter with him right after and then a six month time skip where him and Calypso have apparently been going through non-stop shenanigans trying to get back? I’m still wondering how the hell they got into the sea of monsters by accident considering how hard it is to enter it on purpose. Anyway, continuing to run to keep away the pain has been Leo’s whole theme since the start of the series. I kind of worry about the mindset he’s in post ToA, now that he’s stopped running and suddenly has a lot of time to think, tho I’m kind of assuming he’s just going to throw himself into each available project to keep at least his mind too busy to stop and think. Having him actually have to confront everything that’s happened to him? Yeah, thats going to be tough.

I wonder if Jason would have multiple knots in his tapestry, considering he technically also died in the lost hero? How does the time he spent with that grave wound that almost killed him look? How would he react to the parts of his tapestry that he doesn’t properly feel connected to anymore?
