Elias: Boys so help me, you know we're on a tight schedule, if you don't hurry and finish eating then you're all grounded, don't test me.

Iliad, has been grounded 572 separate times: Do it, coward.

Wes, has never been grounded before a day in his life, frantically panic eating the food he complained about two seconds ago: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Iliad: Okay I'm gonna introduce you to the instructor at camp but when I do can you please be normal about it?

Elias: ? What do you mean?

Iliad: I mean you have a doctorate in classical literature and can be super weird about it.

Elias: Ah, I understand. Yes, yes, of course, I promise I won't embarrass you in front of your friends.

Chiron: Oh, welcome back Iliad. This must be your father. It's nice to meet you, Mister Everclear, I'm —

Elias: Oh my gods you're Chiron. I'm a huge fan. I have so many questions.

Iliad: Dad.

Elias: I wrote my associates dissertation about you.

Iliad: Dad.

Elias: Would you like to read it? I think I carry a copy of it with me.

Iliad: DAD.

Just finished writing chapter three, though I still have to edit later.

I'm real sleepy though. Might take a nap before work (I work the night shift hehehehe).

Right now I'm sort of just making the titles the name of the OC the POV is in, like in the heroes of olympus. I haven't decided if I want there to be goofy chapter titles like I did in the hyacinth prophecy. This feels right, though. Anyway, I had a question.

where are you guys most likely to read fanfic (if you're planning to read this fic)

wattpad

ao3

both? idk

Voting ended onJun 3

I was planning on posting it on wattpad cuz that's where the hyacinth prophecy is, but what do you guys think?? What would you prefer? I guess i could cross post but eh. Idk. What so people prefer these days when they read fanfic? I think I mostly read on ao3, but I still post one or two things on wattpad out of nostalgia. I like that i can comment on individual lines and scenes on wattpad. It's fun.

It used to be at least, like ten years ago when THP was young.

Y'all remember that shit? I am almost thirty years old.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

what do you mean I'm writing them ten years apart that's not real I don't believe you

[thehyacinthprophecy]

my newest fanfic "ganymede's curse" asks the daring question "what if these children were supervised by an ADULT"

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Okay i do actually have to say something do you guys remember in TBM when Leo was like "i never got to say goodbye" about jason and piper immediately "me neither" LIKE OKAY I'M SORRY I GOT SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT THAT LIKE????

[thehyacinthprophecy]

I like to imagine that the way Rick describes Ganymede in chalice of the gods is sort of just how PERCY, straight boy extraordinaire, perceives him (kind of like with aphrodite). Rick really googled "what would a Twink in new york look like" and based my man off that, like I'm crying laughing it's so funny. Zeus made him into the most conventionally attractive new age twink and I'm losing it.

like who IS that

[thehyacinthprophecy]

I see a lot of people saying Rick's recent work (specifically the solangelo) isn't very good writing and "reads like fanfic".

And as a fanfic writer, I just gotta say...

Yeah?

And?

So?

You say that like it's a bad thing?

Either way, yeehaw, I'm still gonna be happily adding new books to my collection cuz they make me a happy guy.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Okay well I finished reading the burning maze, it took me five months because I didn't want to read about Jason dying, but I made it through specifically so I could accurately write my fanfic and yknow what I'm not gonna say it but

I'm NOT. Gonna say it.

Anyway I'll be completely ignoring the fact that happened and purposely slipping in some fix it to my fanfic because I can do what I want and he shouldn't have died 🥰

I'll be posting it on my wattpad like old times. Also for those of you who have been wanting to reread the hyacinth prophecy, i put that back up on wattpad too.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Doing my reread (listen) of the hidden oracle and I'm so fucked up over how much Sherman loves Ellis 😭 that's his BROTHER I'm so sad. He was probably so fucking relieved when Ellis came back okay, I wish we could've seen their reunion hug.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Okay I wasn't sure if this fic should be based after or in the middle of TOA but if it’s while Apollo is still mortal I could literally do the funniest thing ever (and I could save Jason *coughs* who said that).

But that also means I have to reread (audiobooks in this case) ALL the books. Which... not a huge negative I suppose.

No but I'm about to do the funniest thing ever fr lmao. Rip Apollo, you have amazing taste but you have no idea who these people are and that is hilarious.

Lester, red as a fucking tomato: thank you so much for helping us you are very handsome.

Field, internally: oh this is gonna be fuckung hilarious when he realizes who I am.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

This is super specific I know, but I was thinking about it all day at work lmao.

The bow was a gift from Cupid, he couldn't just LEAVE them 🙄

[thehyacinthprophecy]

I love how Jason pre-meeting Nico is like "let's just leave him in the jar" but days after meeting he literally just

I love them so much.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

THE BOYS. THE TRIO. MY SONS. I LOVE THEM SO DEARLY.

I wish I had more time between work so I could write their story. At the very least I can daydream about them ✌🏻😔

Thank you so much @coquettemouseevil for accepting my oc comm! They look SO GOOD!

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Do you guys ever think about how Percy was missing for six months and the camp went crazy looking for him but Nico was also gone for six+ months and no one batted an eye?

Anyway.

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Percy may have decided that the great prophecy would be about him but it was also about Nico because they never would have been able to win against Kronos if it hadn't been for Nico, proving he is the most important demigod player in the war, in this essay I will—

[thehyacinthprophecy]

Nico unironically gets Hades a "Best Dad" mug for father's day and Hades unironically uses it.
