Wait holy schist I just realised something about Percy Jackson as I was about to sleep holy crap!
You know how everyone has a crush on Percy because let's be fr have you seen the man. But in reality he's always the one being rejected which is straight up hilarious.
Only once did he reject Calypso when he left Ogygia. After that it was just:
Rachel "Sorry Percy turns out I'm not into you, I'm into your world and the adventure" Elizabeth Dare
Nico "You're not my type" di Angelo
Meanwhile Percy who's been making heart eyes at Annabeth for the past 7 years just going: "....wait what?"
Percy's just surprised people have a crush on him. Everyone has a crush on him and yet everyone rejects him it's hysterical 馃槀

My sister: Why was Odysseus on Calypso's island?
Me: Well, it was a punishment.
My sister: A punishment for who? Odysseus or Calypso?

The thing with Stede getting any sort of piratey makeover is that Ed would absolutely fall over himself with how attractive he finds it, but he wouldn't be falling over himself because it's piratey - he'd be falling over himself because it's Stede.
Yeah, he'd lose his shit over the low-cut top and the earring - of course he would, he's a human being - but he loses his shit just as much over Stede in the frilly shirts and fancy swishy coats and powdery wigs and sleep masks and nightcap and also the teeny tiny little reading glasses.
And he'd make damned sure Stede knows that Ed found him just as sexy before the makeover as he does after it.

It was Calypso's birthday, and the fireworks were booming away in the night sky. They were so bright and loud that even under the ocean, they caught the attention of the mermaid Ariel. Her father, King Stede, thought she was home working on homework, but she had snuck out of her room to treasure hunt.
When she surfaced and saw the massive pirate ship, Ariel was intrigued and went to investigate. What she saw onboard was a whole bunch of joyous people loving life and each other.
She was watching them dance when her friend, Buttons the Seagull, came to say hello. She tried to make him go away so he wouldn't alert the pirates of her presence, but he didn't listen鈥ike usual. As they watched the party continue, a very handsome bearded man started to sing.
Now, even the mermaids knew about Blackbeard, so as the lovely song filled the sea air, Ariel recognized him leaning against the railing. Seconds later, she watched as he went to move but slipped and tumbled backward into the ocean.
Ariel went to rescue him but found her dad had gotten there first. Guess he had figured out that she wasn't at home doing her schoolwork and had come to find her. Hmm鈥er dad and Blackbeard were staring at each other rather oddly.
Oh! OHHH!
And then Ariel watched as her dad transformed into a human and went with the pirate onto the ship. Blackbeard found some clothes for Stede, and Ariel smiled as the besotted man introduced her dad to the crew.
Her attention turned upward then as a new set of fireworks started. It wasn't until the last sizzle of color faded from the night sky that she noticed her dad and Blackbeard were not on deck. Wanting to be sure the dreaded pirate didn't hurt her dad, Ariel swam around and looked in all the windows for them.
OHHHH F#ck!!! She shouldn't have looked in that window! As happy as she was for her dad, that was definitely not the image she wanted to have burned into her brain!

Fuck it,
A non-comprehensive- and better- list of names containing the root word Leo that are better than what the wiki says for Leo Valdez. Because Leonidas is stupid. (no offense[full offense])
(my credentials: i have over 56 percy jackson/heroes of olympus wips and am chronically allergic to using the same name for leo more than a few times. plus leo is my oc)
-Leonidas. The og, the one that everyone seems to think is the canon name. If it was, why didn't Hera or a monster or Gaea never call him it? Anyway, the first Leonidas was a king of Sparta and claimed to be related to Hercules. The modern Leonidas is a chocolate brand.
-Leoni. Just means lioness. It's a female name (a few on this list are) but it still gets the job done of being a longer Leo name but still unique.
-Leocadius. Bright, shining. If you're looking for something vaguely greek-y, this is usually what I go for ngl. Sounds cooler than Leonidas anyway.
-Galileo. Famous inventor/astronomer. Also the only name on this list that doesn't start with Leo, but instead has the name at the end. Does this ruin the lion motif? Maybe! Do I care? No!
-Leora. Compassion, light. Also a more female leaning name, but look me in the eyes and tell me you won't write trans Leo with him just making his birth name more masc, you won't. Or transfemme Leo lengthening her name to Leora.
-Le贸n. Meaning lion. Spanish/French/Italian origins. There's a guy on TikTok that calls Leo Le贸n exclusively instead of Leonidas. I've had him blocked for months cause I don't like his content but he did have a valid point not calling Leo Leonidas.
-Leota. 'Of the people.' German roots and origins. (I'm actually using this for an au rn where Leo's an oracle/seer lol. Cause, cause... get it? Nevermind.)
-Leonardo. Another famous inventor/astronomer. Need I say more? Also don't tell me Esperanza wouldn't name her baby after an inventor.
-Leonora. Another name meaning light/brightness. You'll notice that Leo can either mean lion/lioness or light. Which I think is fitting for someone who burns so brightly as Leo Valdez.
