elysium has a waitlist

child-demigod of the early incarnation of Demeter who cannot die... because half of him is already dead, and the other half of him is forever alive. The child of Demeter, the goddess of life and death.

honestly i feel like the concepts of multiple aspects of gods existing and the same and different things (e.g. pompey the great and julius caesar both worshipping venus in different aspects, as venus vetrix and venus genetrix respectively, despite being enemies at the time) is super underutilised in the series and demeter herself is a super varied goddess, i personally haven't found a source on her specifically as a goddess of life and death but there is a connection between her and the life-cycle and tbh that demigod would be so good as a concept, i'm picturing something a little like hela but it could be like constantly flaking skin because the top layer is dead or just no light behind his eyes

it’s almost midnight but i am here on Tumblr Dot Com to let everyone know that a fantastic and underused trope is “uses terms of endearment only when under huge amounts of stress.”

Like some character is fairly formal or is just not a pet names person but then they get a panicked phone call from a loved one and the first words out of their mouth are “Sweetheart, what happened?” 

Team “I-only-ever-use-your-first-name” going “Oh, jesus fuck, love, I’m so glad you’re safe” or “Okay, darling, you know I love you but I need some space to fix this giant mess” and everyone around them is like “oh god we have reached Pet Names Level Bad, that’s not good” 

this is the new trope I am championing, I would like it to be the Hot New Thing

I’m picturing Percy bolting awake after a nightmare, breathing hard, sweaty and pale. Annabeth stirs beside him, groggily sitting up. She’s always been a light sleeper.

“Nightmare?” she whispers into the dark, his panicked breaths already steadying.

“Yeah,” he breathes.

“Do you want to talk about it?” she says softly. In response, Percy settles back down onto the bed and pulls her closer.

Annabeth pulls his arm a little closer around her, accepting his silence. Some things are too hard to talk about.

And he feels residual terror and fresh guilt wash as they settle back into silence. Because he doesn’t want to worry her, he really doesn’t l. But there’s absolutely no dignified way of telling your girlfriend that woke up from a nightmare about being turned into a guinea pig.

headcanon: whenever annabeth and leo work together on a project, they like to have on a documentary in the background. since leo hates the quiet and they can’t ever agree on what songs they should listen to, so they settle for documentaries instead of music. early on, they ran into some snags with this plan, since annabeth preferred ocean related documentaries while leo preferred space ones. in the end, they reached a middle ground and settled for animal documentaries. now, whenever the two of them see frank, they always rattle of animal fun facts to him because “he may need them someday” (and they’re very shocked when the shape shifter doesn’t know the random fun fact they have)

doesn’t drink enough water: Leo, Annabeth, Hazel

drinks the right amount of water on purpose: Jason

drinks the right amount of water on accident : Percy

drinks too much water and constantly needs to pee: Piper

tries to drink the right amount of water but sometimes transforms into animals who need more or less water than humans or have smaller bladders and then immediately needs to pee which is usually inconvenient bc he’s in the midst of battle so it’s really an uphill battle: frank

Thought about Jason and Leo and the James Taylor song “Fire and Rain” . Now feel slightly nauseous.

“I always thought that I’d see you again.”

PJO - SOC AU

this idea has been haunting me, I swear. It's basically a "seven demigods as the crows fanfic" that didn't really turn out how I expected.

Jason Grace, the half suli leader of the gang the "Half Bloods" has perfectly established his position and reputation as a barrel boss using the perfect mix of kindness and brutality, when he's offered 30 million (by mercher Kronos) for an extremely risky job - to break into mount othrys and free an extremely important prisoner. To get the job done, he'll need:

Percy jackson, his right hand man, who's keeping a few secrets

Hazel Levesque, the zemeni born Wraith, which has no home to return to

Piper McLean, a heart render who wants to get her friend, get her money, and then get the hell out of here

Frank/Fai Zhang, a shu born druskelle who has a personal stake in this job

Annabeth Chase, an orphaned mercher heir with a few secrets of her own

And Leo Valdez, the crew's demolition expert who us literally just along for the ride

The seven are diefied, but most of the cool stuff is already taken

Percy: god of pinky promises, fishhooks, and communal bathrooms

Piper: goddess of pilled crewnecks and malfunctioning security cameras

Annabeth: goddess of paperweights and missing hair ties

Frank: god of cranberry juice and lost pet posters

Jason: god of dryer static and mild concussions

Leo: god of monkey wrenches and ponzi schemes

Hazel: goddess of gold eyeliner, plastic jewelry, and colorful braces

also

Nico: god of snapped shoelaces and arcade claw machines

Will: god of underage medical malpractice

Reyna: goddess of plastic armor and peanut butter cookies

[these-empty-stars]

Thalia: goddess of pine-scented candles and drop-kicks

Silena: goddess of catfishing

Grover: god of enchilada sauce, styrofoam, and petting zoo sheep

Rachel: goddess of chipped paint and nepo babies

Octavian: god of cannibalism among siblings

Drew: goddess of unexpected promotions

Jason who by 15 had completed 13 years of service as a soilder.

And acts like it.

He wakes up at dawn, every morning without fail. Doing his morning workout routine that he's done for years.

Jason trains everyday.

Despite knowing they have the magic plates from camp, Jason rations his food.

And always tests it for poison.

Jason scouts every new area they end up in. He is silent, cautious and scopes out what's going on, giving his feedback to the others.

His steps are near silent even when he's wearing full armour.

Jason often having to be told not to call those older than him in the group, sir or ma'am. Although Coach Hedge will be like see one of you has manners.

Though the others have taken to copying him when he salutes.

He wont leave until he's dismissed and will wait for orders. Which he will complete even at his own risk.

Jason fights every fight like it's his last. While also having incredible technique and control over what he's doing.

Every movement is calculated.

Jason fights like he's fought a thousand battles.

His sword is stained gold and red, he polishes and cleans it regularly. But those stains never come out.

Jadon draws on his power less like it's a second skin, and more like it's a another sword.

It's a a weapon, just like him.

annabeth: why do i let you talk me into stuff like this?

percy: it was literally your idea

grover: you made graphs

percy: and diagrams

grover: and code names

annabeth: …shut up

If I ever write a no powers au it is going to be a who dunnit about Zeus’s death because literally everyone has a motive and now since everyone is mortal everyone has the means to murder him.

Murder suspects

Athena- Believes that Zeus is running the company inefficiently and if he just listened to her everything would be fixed. Once tried to take over the Olympian Holdings. Her alibi is completely air tight like she knew this would happen…

Hades- Zeus once tried to harm his lover. Rival business owners.

Posideon- Extreme brotherly rivalry and also rival business owner.

Apollo- Recently disowned son who has taken his disowning suspiciously well… has the medical know how to pull off some interesting stuff. Second most likely to be framed.

Hera- We all know her motive. And you know what she deserves to kill him at this point

Luke- trying to destroy Olympian Holdings for its shady business practices and has his own complicated ties to the Olympian family.

Ares- Recently written out of the will for doing something stupid. Has a gun at all times. Most likely to be framed.

Hermes- Zeus’s aid for a ridiculous amount of time with no career advancement. Has info on the other suspects that he is very willing to share. Has recently been in hot water with Zeus over the actions of his son Luke.

Thalia and Jason Grace- Zeus’s bastard children who are set to inherit a lot of his money.

I have no idea who the detective would be since there isn’t an unbiased demigod with the intelligence to deal with this mess. Tempted to have the detectives be Percy and Annabeth. Will Solace would also make a great medical consultant.

Who do you think would do it?

[darkstarknight03]

I don't care about Nico and Bianca's casting. I care about watching Thalia get so angry at Bianca for leaving her little brother when she never got a second chance with her own. I care about the look on her face when Percy tells her that Bianca is joining the hunters. I care about her looking over the San Francisco skyline and coming to terms with the fact that her not-so-little sister doesn't need her anymore, and she will never see her little brother again, even though he is only a few miles away. I care about those being the things that convince her to join the Hunt. I care about her seeing Jason in Nico's eyes.

I don't know if this is a necessarily controversial opinion, but I think Heroes of Olympus should have been aimed at a slightly older audience/been YA.

Not for the reasons you might think, but more for the overall flow and style of the books. They were aimed at such a young audience and because of that they're so intensely action packed with little room to let the characters breathe. I think if there were a little less fighting sequences and more of the character one on one actions and friendships it would have improved so much, and could have helped resolve some of the issues people have with Jason Piper and Frank's characters or lack thereof. I've been rereading them lately and surprised by how much of their interactions happen off-page. For example Piper knows everything that happens in Tartarus, but there's no scene where she and Annabeth discuss anything like that outside of a battle. Idk, maybe that would have strayed too far away from the ogs but just my thoughts.

"Somebody needs to do something about Sephora 10-year-olds...these i-pad babies are so rude and don't do what they're told....oh my God, these kids can't read and have no social skills...Ugh, look at these little consumers and their Stanley Cups."

I am, in fact, actively worried for these children and I refuse to hate them for the ways that society, as a whole, has failed them.
