“Ares…is a moron.”
I honestly don’t think that anyone is more amused by the whole “this douchebag decided to try and fight the child of the sea god on a fucking beach” of it all than Poseidon.

“Ares…is a moron.”

Thinking about how in the Athenide AU Perse KNOWS how the story of this goddess ends. She KNOWS that she is the token "faded goddess" of the pantheon. Thinking of the grief of mourning yourself alone- of knowing you are going to leave all these people you are growing to love. But no one will grieve with you- you cannot even tell them.
Thinking of the simultaneous swelling and sinking of her heart every time her parents or Persephone or her siblings or Apollo say they love her or they're glad to know her. She loves to be loved but hates it too- for the grief she will cause them. She's on limited time- not very limited mind you, a thousand to 4000 years is plenty (depending on if she faded after the trojan war or after world war two) but it isn't enough to ease the pain of the people who have loved her. It isn't enough for them to be able to say "she lived a long and happy life". No amount of time is long enough for a god. Afterall, you may live 4000 years but you were supposed to live forever, and now they must spent an eternity with your fading memory.

I really like the idea of Percy having a chronic adoption problem so I'm just gonna run with it.
So when Percy finally has enough money he just pours a bunch of it into those adopt an animal programs that are designed to help fund the protection of endangered species. But he is just way too into it, and takes it completely serious.
Annabeth: *Coming home after a stressful day at work, Seeing a tall ass Zebra horse standing in the kitchen staring at her* Percy why the fuck is there a horse in our apartment
Percy: His name is Pablo, he's an Okapi, and he's our son
Annabeth: We can't keep him
Percy: After everything that happened you want to abandon our son, how could you. I even asked him and everything he wants to be here. I didn't think you of all people would want to abandon your child.
Annabeth: *trying desperately not to strangle her boyfriend* Okapi's reach adulthood at 3 years old, Pablo looks older than that, I'm just trying to encourage him to be self sufficient and spread his wings. Also you adopt them to keep them protected in their natural environment, Percy.
------------------------------------------------
Annabeth: *wakes up to see a massive green anaconda on the couch* You've never been able to talk to snakes even if they're water snakes, what possible excuse could you have for this.
Percy: Hermes heard about me adopting animals and gave me the ability to talk to snakes
Annabeth: *mentally adding gave Percy parseltongue to the list of reason to kill Hermes* We have 5 aquariums filled with fish, you're not keeping it.
-------------------------------
Annabeth tries desperately to get help from others but Sally is completely behind it, and the sea gods see no problem with it so she tries to get Thalia's help and its just:
Thalia: Sorry but I am a proud aunt to an electric eel also named Thalia and I can't betray her like that, maybe try Nico.
Annabeth: *Having no clue where this fucking electric eel is and is paranoid around every source of water for the next week.*
Also Thalia totally told Artemis about it and blessed Percy to be able to talk to even more animals.
---------------------------------------------
Annabeth: Percy, why the is there suspiciously bear shaped paw prints on the floor?
Percy: That's Clarisse
Annabeth: And Clarisse is a bear?
Percy: Yeah, it was a little too hot for her so I just froze the water in the bathroom and put her in there
Annabeth: How the FUCK did you get a polar bear into this apartment, we can't keep it.
Percy *pulling out the adoption papers* Oh, Hellhounds are fine but a Polar bear is where you draw the line.
----------------------------------
Eventually Annabeth just tells Percy he might as well open a zoo. Which Percy absolutely tries too, and claims he's just gonna use the "you were a deadbeat dad" excuse on Poseidon to get money.
Annabeth: I take it it didn't work
Percy: I'll get him eventually, besides if I open a zoo you can design it.
Annabeth with park plans that can be modified and haven't been touched in 5 years: I'm listening.
-------------------------------------
So Percy just approaches other gods about funding the whole thing, and within a week he has it almost all accounted for.
Hermes- the Reptile House
Kymopoleia- Jellyfish and sea creatures exhibits
Artemis- all North american animals
Aphrodite and Athena- split every bird exhibit
Amphitrite- Fresh water fish
He even managed to get Keto and Phorcys to agree to sell them the aquarium. When Poseidon appears in the apartment.
Poseidon: I told you I was not going to be a part of this
Percy: And you're not, but your wife, and daughter, and nieces, and nephews, and brothers, and sisters are.
Poseidon, refusing to be one upped: Then I will fund the sea creatures exhibit
Percy: actually the only exhibit open is for sea monsters, were going to have a demigod side.
Poseidon: fine, but I also get my name on any horse exhibits, and a shark named after me.
Percy: Deal
------------------------------
When the zoo opens its just an instant success and safe ground for demigods, then Percy has to be interviewed as the owner.
Interviewer: Do you find yourself building a relationship with any of the creatures, you seem very at ease even around the more dangerous creatures.
Percy, Who just spent the last hour and a half being a couples counselor to some kangaroos: Yeah it's almost like I can talk to them.
And don't worry they do everything by the book and only take in wounded creatures that would die in the wild. But there's still like 30 some odd creatures around the globe that just randomly get visited by a black haired man and blonde woman who call themselves their parents, every year, on the same day. But they bring free food and call it a birthday celebration so why not.
Percy Jackson be like: This system is unfair and unjust! Gods or not, parents should NOT treat their children this way, they should not ignore them, make them beg for acknowledgment or treat them like tools to be used only to then be thrown away at their convenience. This isn’t right.
…not my dad tho y’all be easy
Regardless of how Poseidon finds out that Annabeth is Odysseus's reincarnation, I doubt it ends well.
Like, not only was Odysseus reincarnated, but his reincarnation is Percy's girlfriend? Yeah, that's a powder keg waiting to happen.
(The best outcome is that Poseidon ends up having to tolerate Annabeth's presence in Percy's life so that Percy doesn't disown him-but even then, you know that he and Annabeth are going to be glaring daggers at each other.)
It will probably not be pretty, but at the same time, their luck is that Poseidon REALLY calmed down between Epic and Percy Jackson. My theory explaining this is that the gods reflect their domains to certain extent, therefore, since mortals started to understand better the ocean and became a less dangerous way of travel, it had a reflect on Poseidon. This and meeting some people, Sally Jackson as a great example.
That being sad, he definitely wouldn't be happy. He would probably say some fucked up shit to Annabeth, yet I don't think he would kill her. That's because I don't picture this knowing as a threat to the positive feelings he has towards Percy — he barely knew Penelope, I don't believe he would care much her soul was reincarnated into his son, maybe he'd even picture it as cosmical revenge. Except Odysseus had to follow her. That's annoys him a lot, and he doesn't shy away from speaking it, but he won't cross a line like actually hurting Annabeth because he cares more about his son then he hates Odysseus.
He's really annoyed that apparently now Percy likes Athena better then him, though. Like not happy at all.
HOWEVER. Maybe, and just maybe, this will cause some self-reflection and...
"Aren't you tired, Poseidon, it's been 3000 years, how long will it go? We both suffered from losses, let's make a truce in behalf of your son."
"I don't if I can."
"Maybe is it time to learn how to forgive?"
"I will try."
non-pjo fans: sally sells seashells by the seashore!
pjo fandom: is that how she met poseidon???
PJO Triton headcanons
Triton embodiying the dutyful son and heir of Poseidon makes sense and him being very proud of it too! But I just want to find a fic where Poseidon and Triton have a fluffy moment together
Because I headcanon hard that Triton puts a lot of pressure on himself to be the perfect son almost. At least, that's how I imagine him (but I'm still researching lol), and with Percy around canonically he feels jealous because of Poseidon's clear favoritism *which I reject in my personal canon*
I feel like this guy would need a break and actually have some fun with his family (seafam siblings fluff)
Being the firstborn, he would always want to take care of everyone, but sort of forget himself in the process.
Would love to have a little one of his own *Pallas RIP*
I imagine he'd be 35 ish in human years! At least in my canon he's between late 20s to mid 30s.
Wears a bun and has Amphi's dark hair and green skin!
Poseidon's eyes tho!
He doesn't like going to the surface at all and would rather not use a human form. He prefers swimming freely and having his double fin.
Mostly topless that's random lol but I also imagine he wears a lot of jewelry on top or rings and stuff, even in his hair!
He has longer hair!
He's very patient and does respect and love all ofhis siblings closer related or from another marriage!
Good big brother, but sometimes has a hard time showing his love and comes off as harsh
Tries to embody the example
Rule follower
But can be playful if provoked *Kym and Percy* *cough*
I can imagine his relationship with Poseidon being a bit angsty sometimes
He has extremely ticklish fins *Which Poseidon used to tickle a lot when he was a child…. And still does when Triton seems too serious for his liking*
Amphitrite thinks it’s the cutest thing ever. And she also takes advantage of it when she’s in a playful mood.
He almost never calls Poseidon « Papa » compared to his other siblings but only « Father ». The only times he does call him « Papa » is when he feels like Poseidon is disappointed in him.
He hates disappointing his father like it kills him inside.
He’s an amazing big brother to every single one of his siblings, even Percy. He comes off as cold and quite mean but he’s actually very sweet and patient, once you get to know him.
He’s overall a very kind guy but he tends to overwork himself and hold himself to such high standards that when he fails, his self esteem takes a hit. And he needs someone to tell him it’s okay to relax, take a break and ask for help.
The reason why Triton is so possessive over his conch shell is because Poseidon gave to him when he turned the equivalent of 16 in human years and he started to give him more responsibilities as a prince.
It’s kind of like the embodiment of his father’s pride in him so he protects it with all his might
Triton loves having his tail and scales scratched but he’ll only allow his family to do it, mainly Poseidon and Amphitrite.
Sometimes Poseidon will find Triton in their lounging area and he will sit beside him and put his tail into his lap and pet it and scratch his scales and Triton purrs in contentment and it’s adorable 🥰 it’s probably kind of like someone scratching your hair I think!
