#and any god that wants Percy Jackson for a quest just learns they have to file a request through the school and they've got him

I know Percy's desperately trying to escape the godly world but not only do I think the gods aren't going to leave percy alone once he's in New Rome, I also think Percy's in the situation now where he can't refuse at all because like, if he was in the mortal world at a mortal college he at least would be able to try and be like "sorry I can't do a quest right now I've already used up my three excused absences this semester try again in the spring :/" but in New Rome? They will be like "Percy! It is an honor to be hand-selected for a quest. And by the gods no less! Stars above, you should be grateful! I don't know what your little greek camp has taught you but here in Rome, we respect the gods' requests. Your absence will be excused. Now go."

— s/o + stuffed animals ♡
requested by @juneberrie <3
includes: annabeth chase, frank zhang, hazel levesque, jason grace, leo valdez, percy jackson, piper mclean — s/o that sleeps with teddies, gn!reader — tw; octavian /j, brief sex joke
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
annabeth chase 🏢
annabeth had a teddy when she was younger, but pretty much left it behind and never thought about it again. it’s never bothered her that you go to sleep with them, it’s never bothered her if you’ve brought one on a quest, but she’s never really thought about it much. until she was waiting for you in your room and, out of sheer boredom, began tossing them between her hands and examining the stitching and design. she’s also found that if you’re away from her, the teddies are something that connects her to you. she’ll never tell you, but she may borrow one when you’re on quests or visiting home.
frank zhang 🐻
human teddy bear. that’s why his emoji is a bear and not one of the many other animals he shifts into. frank is a teddy in his own right, but he honestly finds it cute that you have them littering your bed. will absent mindedly tidy them/line them up if he’s alone in your room, probably in height order, or with the smallest in their own row. he’s so interested in everything about you and will ask their names, where you got them, when you got them, what they’re wearing and why, ect. when you’re in that semi-peaceful, post-quest delighted phase of having nothing to do, and more importantly nothing to worry about, you and frank may lay and give them back stories and lives. when he’s a praetor and his responsibilities are almost never ending, it’s a fun pass time that helps him relax.
hazel levesque 💎
honestly, she’s never seen someone with more than one or two rag dolls. like most things in your modern life, it’s a learning curve for her. what she does know is you like them, and that’s all that matters for her. she doesn’t mind them herself, and if you ever gave her one, she’d be such an adorable mess of hardly contained glee. tries to give arion one, but he pretty much just eats it. she was horrified. never again. on nico’s next birthday, she does give him a skull teddy, having discovered they make great gifts, and although he just smiles and rolls his eyes at people laughing, he loves it. it has a prized place next to will solace on his pillow.
jason grace ☁️
bless his soul, he was raised by wolves. he did not have access to any aspect of a regular childhood, nor did he ever resent that. but he did have a scrap of a thing he received from thalia as a baby, almost losing all of it’s stuffing over the years and a single button eye left. but he kept it the whole time, and it brings him a lot of nostalgic comfort. now, as for your teddies, he has no problem sharing your bed with them. they’re comfortable and cute. they aren’t the strict upbringing he experienced at camp jupiter, but he’s discovered many things he’s enjoyed outside of that part of his life. and he’ll make sure to keep you as far away from octavian as possible, and his bloody stuffed animal massacre. puts his glasses on them as placeholders.
leo valdez 🪛
doesn’t see the hype. kidding - kind of. the concept of stuffed animals don’t bother him. they’re cute, they’re fun to make interact with each other (+ put in weird poses because let’s be real if rick’s target audience wasn’t children there’d be twenty sex jokes per any chapter featuring leo), and he has nothing against them. but he does have an innate desire to make them “more interesting”. this includes a lot of lasers and fire and weaponry. “leo, i do not want to lay in bed with my head against a bunch of cogs and risk accidentally shaving my eyebrows off, or worse.” “... no fun.” he will buy/find you more and more, regardless, the pile everygrowing.
percy jackson 🐳
sally jackson got percy some kind of fish teddy the second he was born, partly as a joke, partly as a small vice for her mild disgruntlement at the god’s customary absentee parenting style. he was never particularly attached to it, but i think he’d take it to camp in the summer - he’s got no teasing bunkmates to worry about, tyson’s too much of a sweetheart, and it’s a connection to his mum more than his dad. he may gift it to you at some point. i can see him always checking on your teddies before leaving your room, just to make sure nobody’s been knocked to the ground. he knows you wouldn’t let him hear the end of it if they had. he thinks it’s pretty sweet, your collection, and will buy you one or two before it grows so big he insists you don’t need anymore.
piper mclean 🤎
as a kid, she got iphones and designer handbags, not teddy bears. she never really cared for them, maybe charming her way into stealing a couple, for the kleptomania. it doesn’t, at first, cross her mind when she sees them all on your bed. when she sees you with them, curled up after a hard quest or a long day, however, she finds herself thinking how genuinely nice it is to relax with fluffy things and not much to do. when you gift her a few, she doesn’t necessarily name them or form an emotional attachment, but she does think they’re nice, and will frequently curl with them if she’s tired.

MHA Dr #3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Name: Apollo Kamiyama
Birthday: January 24th
Height: 5'7"
Appearance: Low-key just a pretty boy. Imma add some art breeder photos at the bottom for more visuals of like my facial features. I combined multiple ones into a few that I liked. But yeah, I'm really pretty and I have freckles and curly hair 😻😻 me and midoriya twinning 🫶🏾🫶🏾 scripted that I remind people of the actual God Apollo if he was a human on Earth
Backstory: This one is a very interesting backstory lol. Long story short, my parents were devoted worshippers of the Greek gods. To show their devotion, they allowed the gods to bless me, aka their first child. So I have the blessings of the gods, like Percy Jackson type blessings, as if I were their child. They named me Apollo in honor of the first god they worked with. But that's not all 😏. They wanted me to become one of the greatest heroes. I was born with no quirk, so they gave me an advanced version of my parents quirks with some blessings of course. And that's how you get the gamer system, but the version from the web novel "Solo Leveling". I was born in Nigeria, but moved to America and did school there. I moved to Japan to do highschool at UA of course 💪🏾💪🏾. Don't know if imma actually script siblings, I already have some here 😭
Quirk: My life is mostly like a RPG player. I have quests I receive from the 12 gods themselves and some others. I can do anything a RPG player can do. The gods can open gates like in the webnovel solo leveling which the Gods open the gates to help me get stronger, with mythical greek monsters too. After my first gate, which the Gods use to test me, I get the skill shadow extraction, like from solo leveling. Anytime I defeat a monster, I can resurrect them to join my army under my command. In the original they are black and blue, but I scripted them to white and gold. The gates that the gods spawn can only be seen by me, and if I want others to see them then they could. The blessings I got from the gods show up as passive skills in my system (This whole quirk makes more sense if you read up on the main character's power).
Voice claim: Probably more higher than I sound in my other realities. I scripted something around Kenma Asmodeus (obey me), and Milo thatch combined. Just soft, pretty and angelic. "I sound like a beautiful tune from the instruments that the God Apollo would perfectly play" quite literally from my script
Extra info-
here are all the blessings and what they actually do (I don't get them all at once. There are six I get first, then I get the rest later on. They can grow from there too)
Zeus ⚡- power to control all elements (I start with the 4 basics, before moving into Lightning, metal, etc.)
Hera 🦚 - blessed with a loving relationship in my family
Poseidon 🔱 - power to breath underwater and and summon water beings on command
Hades 💀 - (couldn't really decide on one from him. But just something not over the top.)
Aphrodite 🦪 - the gift of absolute beauty and power to uncover the emotions hidden deep in one's soul
Apollo ☀️ - blessed with the voice of an angel and the powers of healing. My smile is like a beacon of light and shall illuminate the darkest of nights and usher hope for anyone.
Artemis 🌙 - blessed with the instincts of the best hunter, when needed. I shall radiate with calming light, soothing the ones around me.
Athena 🫒 - blessed with the gift of knowledge and learning capabilities. I can solve any puzzles and learn anything very quickly.
Hephaestus ⚒️ - blessed with the ability to forge anything with the right materials. I know how to use any weapon.
Hestia 🔥 - blessed with the burning desire to bring justice and gifted with the eternal flame.
Hermes 🪽 - blessed with the ability to tell if a person is pure of heart and tell if they are lying. I have the movements of water and can build up to the speed of light.
Demeter 🌿 - blessed with the power to control plant life and animals. Anywhere I go, the place shall prosper
Dionysus 🍷 - blessed with the ability to create anything only when in need. I can always find food
Ares ⚔️ - blessed with the power to solve any crisis and instill chaos when needed.
i have a more androgynous beauty in this Dr. Got a lot of beauty from Aphrodite of course 🙏🏾
I can also communicate with the gods as well and they come like little inboxes in my gamer systems.
I might script that we are rich, but just depends on how I'm feeling.
I have the same skills from the other drs obviously.
Tumblr media
Welp that's it for this reality. This is also a really good way to reconnect with myself in my other realities too. Below are the art breeder pics of me. One more to gooo

I had a thought after reading your Child of Hera demigod hcs, I feel like Hebe would take her demigod half-sibling to the Garden of Hesperides to protect them from Lamia, what do you think?
Aforementioned Child of Hera Headcanons: [LINK]
I think it could work but there are a few things to consider if you want this to work within the PJO universe and ‘canon’ plotline: 
Tumblr media
PRE-(SECOND) TITAN WAR: I don’t think it would work as well as you might think in this timeline as the canon plot of the entire Percy Jackson and the Olympian series starts. This is because in the 3rd book “The Titan’s Curse”, we see the Garden of Hesperides; where Zoe Nightshade and Percy have to get past the garden and the Hesperides and Ladon to get to Annabeth, Artemis, and fight Atlas. I could see it being a plot point where if Hebe did indeed take Hera-Demigod to the Garden, where its all good for a bit, but until the wars begins to form and either the Hera-demigod is threatened by the Titans and Luke; either manipulated to join them against the gods, kidnapped and held hostage, and etc. It could be another plot point adding in that Luke would notice the Hera-demigod when he went to pick the golden apples from the quest by Hermes. He would be surprised like anyone that Hera would have a demigod but also furious/jealous that why does the Hera-demigod get to be taken by their godly sibling and sheltered in the Garden of Hesperides from the monsters while everyone other demigod is forgotten and left to fight/die by the monsters. I can also see this being used as fuel for Luke to convince the unclaimed demigods about how unfair the gods are and potentially, make the other children angry at the gods and the Hera-demigod for the clear favouritism. The children of Hebe, those who were unclaimed then and those later would still feel bitter at Hebe and Hera-demigod even more-so. If the Hera-demigod hasn’t run-away due to the dangers and Lamia hot on her heels after learning after her location from the war, I can see the child of Hera either being a quest to be rescued and escorted to camp or where they have to fight their way to safety to either camps. The Hesperides would’ve been forced to let go the child of Hera from their protection and care either by Atlas, Luke, the Titan army, etc, either way. 
POST TITAN WAR: The part where the children of Hebe being bitter at Hebe and the Hera-demigod would still be relevant; regardless Hebe brought her mortal sibling on her own accord or on the command of Hera. Cause, regardless of the time it takes place, the animosity would still apply. There’s also the addition that while the child of Hera may not be officially part of the “Big Three”, they’re still around that level and just as dangerous and powerful. So there’s a big plot point of why the Hera-demigod is allowed to be sheltered at the Garden and being the exception and everyone’s emotions to it. However long they may be there for, they can’t stay there forever. Whether it’s because of the age and the Garden unable to protect them much longer, the Titans, or what have you, they still have to get to Camp to properly learn, be safe, and most importantly, be able to live. Even Lupa couldn’t/wouldn’t keep any of the child Demigods in their care for that long before they have to set foot outside. So again with the Quest thing where certain heroes have to rescue/escort the Hera-demigod to Camp, facing Lamia, and etc. There’s also the whole thing to consider where they were for the whole Second Giant War; especially with the whole involvement of Hera/Juno with Percy and Jason, Frank Zhang and his life tied to the stick of wood, etc etc.
Overall, it’s a good premise and opens up to a lot of fanfic if people ever so desired to write it. If I was in a position to write a long fanfic about it, I would go about it either way. The Hera-demigod would still function as a hero that Hera would have to use in her quests and stuff, so I don’t think keeping them in the Garden could be a long term thing anyways. There’s also the addition that the child of Hera won’t be alone in either pre- or post-titan war; because if Zoe Nightshade is added in as one of the Hesperides, then I don’t see why not have another Hesperides around that goes on to accompany/protect the Hera-demigod because they got attached. There are a whole lists of variations of the named Hesperides and how many they are, so you have your pick of names.
Thanks for the lovely idea and the ask!

The clicking of heels against the polished floor grabs my attention, the game I was holding in my hand lays idly to the side. Bianca shoots me a nervous look from her seat next to me before peering up at the stern lady. The lady's grey hair was slicked back into a bun, her nose crooked, almost like a scythe. She did not look very nice.
"Bianca Di Angelo." She states, matter of factly. "I am here to take you, your brother," The woman shoots a pointed look at Nico, "And your... friend."
The look the mysterious woman gave was poisonous, her eyes daggers as she looked at me. Her nose sneered as she took in the surroundings of the casino. It was loud, I could tell she didn't like it.
"My name is Rose." I snapped, quickly rising to my feet. I cross my arms as her eyes narrow as she looks at me. I glare back at her, not backing down from her imposing stare.
She sighs and rolls her eyes muttering something under her breath, something along the lines of 'stupid demigods'. I feel Bianca stand next to me, putting a calming hand on my shoulder. She quickly steps in front of me, breaking my cold stare at the unpleasant woman.
"Excuse me, but are you here to take us to school?" Bianca asks, her head tilted in a curious way. The old woman nodded, a careless look on her face.
"Yes, now come, we haven't got any time to lose. Don't ask any questions." The woman says before turning on her heel to the exit of the casino. I cast a look over my shoulder to Nico, his face twisted in a worried look. His hands fiddled with a silver army soldier toy, as he glanced around at everyone except the lawyer.
"Are you sure we can't just stay?" A small voice speaks out from behind Bianca. The stern woman whips around to look at Nico, who looks like he was about to cry. The lawyer scoffs.
"Stupid boy. You three are too important to be kept here." She bluntly states. Kept here? Too important? Her words make my mind spiral. I cast a worried glance over to Bianca who also has a troubled look on her face.
I couldn't help the nervous feeling in my chest. My Dad had brought me here about two months ago. Now that I think of it, I couldn't really remember what he looked like, let alone why he left me here. Were we being kept here? I shake my head, trying to rid my mind of these troubling thoughts.
My brows furrow as I try to remember the events leading up to entering the casino. It feels like the memories are just out of reach, like a blank space fills the area where they used to be. All I could remember was the year; 1976. I didn't want to go back out there, I didn't want to face what was waiting for me on the outside. Surely, the police would still be looking for me. Most of all, I didn't want that... thing to get me.
I roughly bump into Bianca, who stopped in her tracks. Daylight poured through the open door of the casino, I could hear many voices and sounds coming from outside.
"Bianca, what the hell." I ask, my mind snapping back to reality. I glance up and all words are lost as I become rooted to my spot. The cars zoomed by in the road, hundreds of billboards lined the bustling streets. There were bright screens with neon words that I couldn't even understand. Where was I? All I know that this was not 1976.
"Hurry up, children. We haven't got time to loose." The lawyer snaps. I look over to her, my mouth wide open. Bianca and Nico still had their eyes glued to the unfamiliar scene, their faces contorted into looks of panic.
A feeling of anger rose up inside of me as I took steps closer to the woman. She didn't even flinch as I leaned as close as I could to her.
"Where the fuck are we?" I yell, my confusion getting the better of my rationality. My arms gesture to the enigmatic scene in front of me. What year is it? What happened?" My mind is running too fast that I can't comprehend one thought. Where were we? What happened while I was in the casino? Why did it look like we were in the future?
An annoyingly amused smile makes it way onto the lawyers face. She shakes her head and lets out a condescending laugh.
"Stupid girl." She began, her eyes bored, "I told you to not ask any questions." My eyes open incredulously at her dismissive words. My entire world had been flipped on its head and she tells me not to ask questions! The anger boils up in my chest as I stand there with millions of questions. I notice pink flowers start to pop up in the cracks of the sidewalk, I didn't care at this point. I couldn't control it.
"What year is it?" A soft voice breaks me from my confused spiral. Bianca, now looking over to the woman, asks, her face full of confusion. She then looks at me, her eyes filled with tears.
"2007." She bluntly states, rolling her eyes as if it was a stupid question. My hand flies to my mouth in shock as I hear the woman's words. 2007! I have been in that damn casino for thirty one years? I reel back, the realization finally hitting me. I shake my head, a feeling of sickness washes over me. This can't be happening.
The woman guides us towards a large black car. I had never seen a car so big and with so many seats! She motions to the driver to leave after we all file into the car. Nico looks completely lost, his hands still on his silver army toy.
"Now, you may be confused." The woman, Camille according to the driver, starts. I scoff at her words, my arms crossed as I look out the window. A growing feeling of sadness wells up in my stomach, a twisting sort of feeling. "I can assure you that you will be safe at your new school. We will be there shortly."
How much did the world change? Why does time pass differently in that casino? Why did my Dad leave me there? Thousands of questions circled around in my head, too many unknowns for me to handle.
I feel my breaths begin to quicken, my hands shaking. I fiddle with the pins and patches on my worn out bomber jacket, quickly grounding myself. I think of my hands in cold grass and a warm breeze blowing over my face. I breathe out a sigh, accepting of the absolutely crazy situation.
I place my hand over Bianca's, she breaks her stare from out the window to look over at me. I give her a reassuring smile and her hand a small squeeze. She gives me a small smile, telling me that she's okay.
"Okay, children, grab your things. We're here." Camille orders. She quickly climbs out of the car and starts making her way to the man standing outside of the ominous front doors of the school. I grab my green duffel bag and follow Bianca out of the car, Nico follows me slowly. I didn't even want to think about how scared he must be. We all follow Camille slowly, our necks craned up to take in the vastness of the school.
Standing on the pathway, there stands a man. He towers over my friends and I as we stand behind our lawyer. He gives us all a large, slightly creepy smile. His two different colored eyes almost seemed to glow as he looked at us.
"Welcome to Westover Hall. Your new home."

I just had the idea for a Percy Jackson and Hatchetfield universe crossover, and I want your thoughts. Here’s the pitch:
When Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, and Frank learn about a fighting ring for children with supernatural abilities, they set on a quest to help the poor demigods and bring them to camp safely. Little did they know how much their trip to the small town of Hatchetfield, Michigan would change their entire understanding of their world, as they learn of a different, and much more powerful type of god.
Is this worth making into a fic? If you have any questions about it, leave them in the comments!

Once again sorry for any grammar mistakes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percy Jackson was never one to be afraid or to overthink things but since hearing the Oracle's words his mind had not stopped racing.
“You shall go west, and face the god who has turned. Make the wrong choices and you shall loose everything. You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend. And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.
He now stood next to Chiron with a group of selected camper before him, but the words of the Oracle repeated in his head, he wanted to choose his beloved sister, she was skilled, she could fight they'd make an excellent team for sure, but the prophecy said if he made the wrong choice it could coast him all, Ella was his entire world now she was all he had now, he couldn't take the risk of losing her.
He wanted to choose Luke, the Hermes boy who his sister trusted, he was a skilled fighter and had proved to be an excellent friend. But if he was going on a quest with the intention of saving his mother he needed someone who would be more than willing to sacrifice even him to see his mother's safe return.
Percy's eyes met his sister's as she stood in the middle of everyone else, he couldn't read the look in her eyes, was it fear or worry? Percy didn't know, he had block out Chiron's words a long ways back, he hadn't even noticed he was still explaining, but all Percy knew was that he needed a leader.
"Annabeth" choose Percy, Chiron froze "Customarily, one waits to at least hear a name of two before choosing" said Chiron,"Are you sure?" asked Chiron, "This thing, Zeus's master bolt, we need to get it back, right?"
"Yes"
"And it's gonna be hard to get, right?" asked Percy, "Extraordinarily" answered Chiron "And if the mission required someone to sacrifice me to succeed, You'd want someone who won't hesitate when they do it. And I also choose Grover" said Percy cutting Chrion off, Percy's eyes met Luke's as the Hermes boy simply nodded in approval, as Chiron announced his quest mates.
Percy couldn't meet his sisters stare, "The rest of you campers are dismissed" stated Chiron, Ella turned in silence walking away past Percy, "Ella wait I-" froze Percy as he attempt to call out to his sister as he watched her walk down the path Luke jogging behind her to catch up with her.
"In all honesty I thought you were going to pick her" Said Chiron, to which Percy sighed, "I thought so too" "so why didn't you?" asked Chiron.
Percy finally looked up at him his eyes moving away from the sight of the Hermes boy wrapping his arm around his sister's waist as they walked, "Because of what the Oracle said, about loosing everything and failing to save what matters most, I've only just found Ella I'm scared that if I choose her I could be the reason she doesn't return" muttered Percy under his breath.
"Oh Percy, but are you sure Annabeth an Grover were the right choice?" asked Chiron, "Like I said Annabeth would be more than willing to push me in front of a train if that meant completing this quest, and Grover is my best friend I'm sure I made the right choice as long as Ella is safe and happy" said Percy to which Chiron smiled before nodding.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ella hadn't spoken much to Luke since arriving at her cabin, "Maybe it's for the best princess, besides the moment you step out of camp an entire trail of monsters are gonna be on your tail, even worse than Thalia herself and you know that, and your mom or dad aren't gonna be able to intervene" said Luke as Ella laid back into his harms, her body placed between his leg.
"The trail of monsters doesn't matter Luke, what matters is Percy being safe and completing his quest, he's my father's second Forbidden child Zeus is more than informed about his being by now love, if he can he'll take a shot at him and I won't be there to prevent it" spoke Ella softly.
"I can't loose him Luke, we've only just found each other, I can't stand the thought of harming coming to him" Said the demigod, he voice begging to break, "Hey, hey don't cry, don't get all sad on me pretty girl, Percy's a strong boy, for the gods sake he killed a minotaur on his first night, he's more than capable of protecting not only his self but also Annabeth and Grover" said Luke in attempt of calming his girl.
"I know Percy can take care of himself but that still doesn't stop my worry" trailed off Ella as her eyes watered, "Besides I even started teaching him to sword fight this week, if anything happens Annabeth and Grover are gonna be right there at his side to help and guide him" said Luke ripping soft nothing circles into Ella's hip bone.
As Ella was about to reply but the cabin door creaked open reveling a nervous Percy, "I should get going, I have to go check on the younger kids's training" said Luke as he softly got up from Ella's bed placing a kiss on her forehead, whispering a soft goodbye to her before walking towards the door where Percy stood, "You guys should talk" he suggested before opening the door wider to leave.
And then there were two, Percy made soft steps toward Ella's bed as she stared at him with her brows frowned and watery ocean eyes, "Ella look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, I truly wanted to choose you but I can't loose you not now, not ever, if I had chosen you and something happened I couldn't live with myself so please don't hate me, I-" Percy's Rampling was soon cut short by Ella opening her arm for him.
Percy quickly rushed to embrace his sister, she rubbed nothing circles into his back "It's alright little one, I get it I don't think I could live with my self if something happened to you either" said the ocean beauty as tears silently rolled down her cheeks.
Percy held onto his beloved sister, embracing her as if it was the last time he would ever see her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke Castellan had found himself with a soft spot for the children of Poseidon he wasn't exactly sure how it happened, but he knew from the very first moment he saw little Ella arrive at camp and instantly get claimed, she was to be his.
As for his relationships with her brother Percy was different, Luke knew what was coming, there was no stopping it and he would do anything in his power to make sure his sweet Ella never found out, Percy Jackson was nice boy, Luke had taken his under his wing and guided him taught him how to fly in other words.
He didn't want any harm to come to the boy, because if it did it would mean losing Ella forever if she ever found out, the Hermes boy made his way down the path towards the cabin of the sea God, making his way up to the cabin climbing up the stairs Luke was met with the sight of Percy sitting on the steps of the big fountain packing his things, the cabin door and windows were wind open allowing the blissful breathes to flow through the empty house.
"How much money did they give you?" asked Luke as he stood at the door of the cabin with a gentle smile, Percy looked back at the bag they had given him inspecting it before speaking, "Um, 200 dollars in cash and bag of these" Said the boy, observing the bag of weird looking coins.
"I think they're Canadian, maybe? or from Chuck E. Cheese, I don't know." said Percy causing Luke to chuckle from his stance, "They're golden drachmas" said Luke as he began taking steps towards Percy, "Dollars are for human world, drachmas for mythic world, don't mix them up." explained Luke, standing before Percy.
"I brought you this" said Luke causing Percy to stand to his feet to revive the box, "Um they certainly are interesting" said the son of Poseidon as he sat down to open the box revealing a pair of red shoes.
Luke looked around his attention falling onto Ella's bed as he chuckled at Percy's words, "Where's you sister?" asked Luke randomly, "She left early this morning something about some fish migrating this week, she dived through the fountain" said Percy with a shrug.
Luke laughed at Percy's words, "That girl's something else sometimes, she just starts talking about sea animals that I didn't even know existed, but I love to hear her talk so it's a win, win" sated Luke reaching forward to grab a shoe from the box he had gifted Percy.
"Maia" he called out, and wings spread out from the side of the shoe, "A gift, from my dad." explained Luke. "Do you guys get a lot of gifts from your godly parents?" asked Percy remember Annabeth's hat and his sister's necklace she had shown him.
"Not really only if they think you've earned it" said Luke with a shrug, "Your sister on the other hand, your dad showers her with gifts so she has a bit of everything" said Luke.
"That makes sense" said Percy as Luke called out to the shoe once again causing the wings to disappear once more before retuning it back to it's box.
"Um I haven't asked Ella this yet because I don't want her to feel bad about me not choosing her or anything, but do you know why Poseidon has never sent her on a quest if she's his favorite?" asked Percy, "Chiron and the other kids believe it's because your dad has bigger plans for Ella, I don't know if she's told you this as yet, but Ella was raised to be perfect in every aspect, to fight for her people and to rule, be a perfect little princes and heir. When she first got to camp she had problems finding out who she was without her father or mother's judgment, it took her long while to find her place and eventually she did, and now everyone loves her" said Luke.
"What do you mean by bigger plans? if anything she should be the one to go on this quest to get back the mater bolt, if she's Poseidon's favorite and has the experience" said Percy. "Your quest is meant to prevent war, Ella's entire being was to wage war, she can't be the peace keeper that's your job buddy, If anything her quest will be a war not a quest" said the Hermes boy.
There was a small moment of silence between the two teens before Percy spoke again, "I thought about choosing you before grover, you know" said the son of Poseidon to the son of Hermes.
"Hey, Grover's a lot stronger than people think" said Luke in attempt of calming the boy, "I was afraid. I have a chance to rescue my mom from Hades, I can't let anything stop me or loose anyone while trying, you have no idea how badly I wanted you and Ella at my side but the prophecy said-" Percy was interrupted mid sentence by his sister emerging from the water.
She every so gracefully made her way out of the fountain, taking one step at a time causing Luke to quickly turned around revealing Ella in a pretty blue bikini, Luke quickly stood to his feet his heart beat unsteady.
"You're back just in time" announced Percy shoving the last bit of money into his bag, "thank the gods, I was hopping not to miss you leaving" said Ella in relief dripping water on to the cabin floor, her gaze finally meeting Luke's, she flashed a pretty smile at him before speaking.
"Luke love, would you be a darling and pass me my towel it's by my desk" spoke Ella causing Luke to rush around the room to retrieve her towel quickly passing it to her, as he watched Ella take it to begin to dry her hair.
"So what did I miss?" she asked, Percy opened his mouth to speak but Luke spoke before he had the chance to, "Nothing much Princess, I just came to wish Percy good luck" said the Hermes boy as Ella walked in front of him by her bed to grab her shorts, "That's good darling, I'm guessing you'll be coming with us to bid farewell to sweet Annabeth."
"Of course Princess, where you go I go" Said Luke grabbing his sweater he had gifted Ella a few months back, "Thanks love" she said kissing his cheek, Percy sat there watching them, maybe he had nothing to worry about, maybe Luke and Ella really did belong together, maybe he had really made the right choice, or so he though.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ PERCY JACKSON DR INTRO
important info to start: this is the second most recent dr i have shifted to. i do not have everything scripted out in this dr and am learning and adjusting to many things as i go. i had every intention to shift here eventually, but when i shifted here the first time it was unintentional. now i have some safety things in my script and some basic changes i wanted, but for the most part everything in this dr is coming naturally!
how long have i been in this dr? not long at all actually. i have only shifted twice for a total of just under four weeks (the first was a little under a week and the second was just under three).
have i been claimed by a god? yes! i was claimed by hades at the end of my second week there! there is no cabin for hades at camp yet so i took up residence for a bit in cabin 3 with percy after i was claimed.
what was my dr life like before i shifted there? pretty normal! i had dyslexia, but i was able to remain in schools pretty long. i even graduated high school. in my dr i was raised an only child by my mom, alexandra, who is a nurse, and my dad leonardo (who i never knew wasn't my biological father). he is a police detective. i had really close non-demi god friends named carter and nellie. i didn't see as many strange things as most demi-gods, but i did see a few ghosts of dead relatives but i never connected that to hades until i was claimed, i just thought i was weird LMAO. there were multiple occasions where i thought i was seeing things that i now know were creatures, but they would be gone before i could figure it out so i thought it was my imagination. i never knew i was a demi-god and somehow chiron never knew about me, nor did i have a satyr guide.
do i have any powers? tbh, i don't know much about what i can do yet. i know that i can see dead people and chiron thinks it was an unintentional form of necromancy. he also thinks i am having visions (which have gotten much more intense since i found out i was a demi-god). he doesn't know why though because that isn't typically associated with hades. i am a really good sword-fighter and pretty good with a bow, but other than that there hasn't been time to explore my powers.
how did i get to camp? i quite literally WOKE UP ON MY WAY TO CAMP. i had no idea where i was going or where i was at first because i has just shifted and i was disoriented. when i woke up my (step)father immediately explained that i was going to a camp to keep me safe. he never got to explain to me where i was going because the MINOTAUR CAME AT OUR CAR BEHIND US. he swerved off the road and told me to run toward camp and he would drive away to try and distract it. i wasn't fast enough and the minotaur didn't take the car bait so i was attacked and knocked out. i woke up in camp and chiron (slowly) explained everything to me which went as good as you can expect.
do i have any demi-god friends? yes, thankfully. i befriended luke almost immediately because we are pretty close in age and he helps to train me and percy, who arrived like 2 weeks before me. he is not working with kronos in my dr. percy likes to pester me, especially after he found out we are both going through the "the gods hate us" thing, but he's become a really close friend. grover tags along with percy a lot too which means we've become friends too. luke introduced me to annabeth, and she's smart and as stubborn as me which i admire so i like to talk to her a lot. she also likes to know about the normal world, and i don't mind reminiscing. the only other close friend i've made is a daughter of aphrodite named marie liu. she's so sweet but she's fierce and good at sparring. i also talk to a lot of the younger campers because me and luke are basically glorified babysitters when at camp (but it's fun and i'm really starting to love it there so it's ok).
what am i doing currently in my dr? well, chiron thought seeing the oracle would help me understand my visions but now i'm on a quest. the god's are likely going to go to war (because aren't they always) since zeus found out poseidon and hades had children who didn't face the same fate as thalia. they refused to let zeus kill them so zeus said there would be war and gods are picking sides now. there's more of us than usual on the quest because i brought the people who were in my visions (though they are brief and intense and hard to decipher). it's me, percy, annabeth, grover, and luke. the oracle said (and this is as close as i could remember when i shifted back and wrote it down, but is probably not entirely accurate. it is similar to the lightening thief prophecy in some ways but also very, very different):
"You shall go east, and face the god who has turned,
You shall find broken peace and see it returned,
You shall go west and discover more allies and friends,
Should one, at a parents hand, not meet their end."
we haven't deciphered much but we did leave like 2 days before i shifted back most recently and were in upstate manhattan. we are playing things by ear and trying to survive currently.
there isn't much else to tell about this dr right now, but updates, memes, and shitposts are to come!
feel free to send any questions or ask about anybody or anything in my asks! i love talking about my drs (:

Pain of Losing him (Pt. 2)
Pt. 1 here ↑
happy Easter haha have some shit I wrote last night at like 4am yw yw
this is gonna be a bit out of wack with the actual book (botl) because I'm not re-reading it for a fanfiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went out to look for him before anyone else. That same night. No luck. 
I could only do so much, plus, now with the discovery of my father, I was required to move into the empty Hades cabin. I brought Nico’s backpack too, just in case. 
For the next while, I was separated. Annabeth, Percy, and Grover were the only ones who didn’t seem to fear me. Maybe because they met my father. Maybe because they already knew me.  
Then, there was the labyrinth. 
I got separated, But I made my way out. Slowly. It felt like weeks, and when I finally emerged, I was on a beach. 
It stretched out long and It was dirty. Soda bottles were tied in the waves, and it made me think of grover. Oh gods, they probably thought I was dead. The thought made me sick, part of me wondered if they made it out of the labyrinth. I didn’t give it too much though, Percy Jackson could survive anything. So, I stood on the beach, an old band tee-shirt clung to my body, ripped from the terrors of the labyrinth, and I wondered what now. Where am I? How do I get to camp? Did they complete the quest without me? My thoughts were soon interrupted. 
I saw him from the corner of my eye. From behind me, from the same exit I came from, emerged Luke Castellan. Fear shot through my body like a snake through tall grass, and I froze. I wanted to run. But there he was nowhere to go. The beach stretched for miles. I turned to face him. 
“Who are you?” He said, but his face showed a vague recognition. And I remembered. Duh- you don’t even look like his girlfriend anymore- he might think i look familiar but.. Nothing like I used too. 
I weighed my options, but the situation was too overwhelming, I just stood and looked at him. 
“Are you dumb? Who..” He trailed off, “I know you.” 
“..No, you don’t.” Wow, great cover story. I could barely think of anything else as he approached me. I backed away, but he was walking too fast. After a week(?) in the labyrinth, I couldn’t run if I tried. 
“Yeah.. Yeah I do.” He said, he was about a foot away from me, looming over me like a statue. I’m not sure how exactly he realized, but his face fell and his eyes grew hard. Maybe it was the sprinkle of freckles that covered my nose and face, or maybe it was my eyes, the point is, he knew me. “..Y/N?” 
“Luke.” I spit it at him. I had barely said his name since he left. It felt new on my lips, but so, so familiar. 
I think it took him a moment. His hand went to my hair, so much shorter. He ignored the way I flinched away from his touch. Then he looked down at me. My body was different. Yes, my chest was binded, but I wasn’t as scrawny. I had built some strength over these years, from quests and training. Eventually, his eyes landed on my face. The hardness I had learned from camp without him showed. 
I’m not sure what exactly came over me (or him) but I hugged him. My arms wrapped around his torso and I buried my head in his neck. I was exhausted. And he felt like home. His arms wrapped around me too. 
“I’m so sorry I left, angel.”  He muttered into my hair, and all the progress was gone. Any hopes I had of getting over Luke Castellan were diminished. I hated myself for it, but after everything, gods, he was just what I needed. It took me a few minutes to realize I was crying. I’m not sure why, there could be a multitude of reasons. 
I’m not sure how long we stood like that. It could've been forever. Then his voice cut through my mind and I remembered why it couldn’t beforever. 
“You can still come with me.” 
“We both know I can’t.” 
“You could, what about your dad? Don’t you want to find out who he is? Don’t you want to..to get back at him for abandoning you?” 
“..I know who my dad is, Luke.” 
“What? Who?”
“..Hades.”

Hello can i request you something ? since you have took your first pjo request can I request one when the reader is in love with Grover and he found that ( thank Percy) so she try to avoid him and it’s very funny because her hiding place is not very hidden at all so every body was like « HEY SHE IS THERE » and he catch her and tell her he feel the same :)
Again if you don’t understand tell me,
Good day/night/afternoon
oh i adore writing for pjo

Tumblr media
“If I were you, I would start running.”
Never a good thing to hear as a demigod, certainly. Even though you’re well within the protective bounds of Camp Half-Blood, the words still make you shiver. You make a point of looking your favorite half sibling, your sister from the same godly parent, dead in the eyes to make sure she knows that she’s just set your heart rate spiking for what’s probably no good reason at all.
“Why is that, Frances?” You ask carefully.
Frances looks around quickly as if to make sure there aren’t any eavesdroppers, then fixes you with a devilish grin. “I just overheard a conversation between Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood.”
She pauses for dramatic effect, but you’re not really in the mood to humor her, so you gesture for her to get on with it.
“They do that all the time,” you say, not without a touch of irritation, “I think it comes with the fact that they’re, you know, best friends.”
Frances rolls her eyes. “Yeah, I know that. Obviously. The point is, they were talking about you. Specifically, Percy was talking about the fact that you have a crush on Grover.”
Your stomach drops. “No,” you manage to choke out.
“Yes,” Frances confirms, “It’s true. I mean, I get it, Grover’s pretty cute, and I’ve definitely been calling this for the past three months, but it’s true. I heard him. I don’t think Percy meant to say it, but he definitely did. Grover knows.”
You clap a hand over your mouth as if you can shut Percy up by association alone. “No, he can’t. He promised me that he wouldn’t say a word.”
Frances shakes her head glumly. “Well, it’s a good thing he just promised for fun and not on the River Styx, because he’s said many words, all of them about you. I don’t know how long you have until Grover tries to do something about it, but it can’t be that much time. I raced here as soon as I heard, figured you needed a warning. Say, how did Percy find out in the first place? You’re usually good about only telling me your crushes.”
Even in the midst of your panic, you still find time to swat Frances on the arm. “I barely tell you about my crushes. You tell me your crushes about ten times more often. Anyway, Percy wasn’t supposed to know. We were on an accidental quest last month and he found out.”
Frances frowns. “That doesn’t clear anything up. How were you on an accidental quest?”
You grimace. “Have you ever been minding your own business in the mortal world when some god opens up a portal to dump another demigod in front of you and basically commands the two of you to go solve their problems because they can’t be bothered to do it themselves?”
Frances grins nervously. “Obviously not, but please go on.”
You laugh in spite of yourself. “Yeah, it was something like that. Hephaestus was having marital problems with Aphrodite again and he wanted Percy and I to go retrieve one of his godly pieces of scrap metal from a long-buried temple to her. We managed to get his stuff, but while we were there Aphrodite’s residual magic revealed the person we romantically loved the most, so Percy saw that I had a crush on Grover.”
Frances nods, contemplative. “Does that mean you saw who Percy likes? You could have used that against him as blackmail.”
You wave a hand dismissively. “All I learned is that he’s head over heels for Annabeth Chase, but that’s hardly surprising news. Everyone knows that.”
“I suppose so,” Frances says wistfully, “although I do love some good blackmail.”
“I don’t like how casually you said that,” you frown, “but I get your point. Regardless, there’s nothing I can do now. Percy knows, you know, Grover knows, and my secret is done for.”
Frances smiles sympathetically. “Hey, at least he’s a nice guy, right? He probably won’t do anything about it, just to spare you from feeling bad.” Her face pales. “Actually, I take that back. He’s headed this way now.”
You freeze, looking about wildly for some sight of him. “What? Where is he?”
Frances jerks her chin in the direction of the infirmary. “Over there. He was just talking to Will Solace a moment or two ago.”
You follow her line of sight and curse under your breath. “Oh my gods, I can’t do this. If he comes over here, tell him that you don’t know where I am, alright?”
Frances flashes you a thumbs up. “Already on it. What are you going to do?”
You set your jaw grimly. “I’m going to do what you told me. I’m running.”
With that, you head as fast as you can in the opposite direction, hoping against hope that Frances will be able to stall Grover long enough for you to get away without being seen. The satyrs of Camp Half-Blood are typically busy this time of year, the summer months are always hard on them. With luck, you’ll be able to avoid Grover for a week or two at most, and then he’ll be pulled away on another mission to rescue yet another hapless demigod and you’ll be safe. He’ll forget all about you.
At the same time, you don’t want Grover to forget about you, not in the slightest. What Percy said is true, you do like Grover. You like him a lot. Ever since the first moment you saw him, you knew he would be important. He was one of your best friends when you were still living as a mortal, and then he saved your life by guiding you to Camp Half-Blood.
Some part of you was terrified that your friendship was all a ruse, that he’d drop you the second he got you safely to the camp, but everything ended up being fine. It turns out that Grover wasn’t faking a thing, he genuinely likes spending time with you. You talk with him all the time, and he always heads to you first after he comes back from delivering yet another demigod so he can tell you about everything that went right and wrong on his latest venture outside the camp borders.
It wasn’t hard to fall for Grover. No one else has ever made you feel quite the way he does, like you truly are someone worth saving. He looks at you and sees something spectacular. When you’re with him, you feel like everything a demigod should be: strong, half immortal, brave, all of it. It’s easy to think less of yourself when you’re confronted with the fact that one of your parents is a literal Greek god and you’re just you, but you forget all of your fears when you’re with Grover.
The only problem is that he’d never feel the same way. That’s why you’d made Percy promise that he would never say a thing about your crush to Grover, but it looks like he’s forgotten all about that. You torture yourself thinking about how Grover might have responded to Percy telling him about your feelings. Would he have laughed it off, or worse, been disgusted that someone he thought of as only a friend liked him in that way?
You shake your head to rid yourself of the loathsome thoughts and keep moving. The bright sunshine fades away as you head further away from the center of camp, towards the trees. Usually, campers aren’t supposed to go in the forest unless they’re engaging in the usual mock battles or accompanied by someone else, but you really need to be alone right now. Besides, you’re armed as always with your celestial bronze weapon of choice, so even if a monster decided to try you right now, you’re running on enough despair and pure anguish that you’d easily take it down.
You’re fully committed to staying in this forest until the day you die if need be, but you’ve barely been wandering between the trees for ten minutes or so before you hear footsteps. You whip around and find yourself face to face with Grover.
He scratches the back of his head awkwardly. “Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”
You briefly consider just sprinting away as fast as you can, but decide that it’s worthless. He’s already found you, and this conversation was going to have to happen anyway, right?
So, you sigh, and try to prepare yourself for the worst. “It’s fine. How did you know I was here?”
Grover actually smiles at that. “A few people saw you go and told me. Also, ever since the whole Pan thing I’ve been more in touch with nature. I can tell when people go to more rural areas, especially people I want to remember.”
You cock your head to the side, curious. “People you want to remember?”
He nods. “People who matter the most to me, they tend to stand out more in my mind. Percy, for one. A few of the first friends I made as a satyr. You.”
You frown. “But I haven’t known you for nearly as long as the others. Why–”
He cuts you off with a gentle smile. “You matter a lot to me, Y/N. About as much as I matter to you, from what I hear.”
You grimace, dragging a hand over your mouth. “Percy told you, right? Listen, I’m sorry about that. He wasn’t supposed to say a word. You weren’t supposed to find out. I really don’t want to ruin the friendship, can we just pretend that nothing ever happened?”
Grover inclines his head. “And what if I don’t want to pretend nothing ever happened?”
You feel your confidence falter. “What?”
He lifts a shoulder. “I don’t want to pretend nothing happens,” he repeats, “because I like you too, Y/N. That’s why Percy told me in the first place, he said he was getting bored of me never doing anything. He made me realize that the thing that scared me most was never telling you how I felt, so he broke his promise to not say a word because he knew it would convince me to finally confess my feelings to you. He thought it was worth it, and so do I.”
You shake your head, laughing quietly. “You actually like me back?”
“Of course I do,” he says simply, “you’re the only one who’s ever really mattered. Usually, it’s hard to find ways to connect to new demigods when I’m trying to get them to camp. I never had to pretend with you, not once. You were the most real thing I’d ever been a part of, and I’d never want to lose that, not if I had to. I’m used to the unusual, it comes with the job, but you made me feel extraordinary.”
You feel lighter than air. For once, your brow is smooth and unwrinkled, free of every burden that has weighed it down for what feels like centuries. “It was the same for me. You made me feel wanted, Grover. More so even than the rest of the camp. If it was up to me, we could have stayed that way forever. Just the two of us trying to survive on our own, adventure after adventure.”
He smiles at that. “Maybe we can have that, too. Send me an Iris Message the next time you’re out in the mortal world. We could get dinner somewhere, pretend to be normal people.”
You laugh. “Picture us, normal people.”
For once, you don’t want that sort of normalcy. Ever since finding out that you were a demigod, some secret part of you has always secretly longed for the time in your past in which your life wasn’t constantly in danger. You could have gone to school and gotten a job just like everyone else, but now? You don’t want that life in the slightest. It would be something to pretend with Grover, but you’d sacrifice a normal life a thousand times over if it meant you would still have him by your side.
Grover’s laughing too. “Alright, maybe it wouldn’t last long. Still, it would be fun.” He squints at you. “I’m glad this worked out, but does this mean you’re still upset with Percy? Because I definitely need a front row seat if you want to kick his ass for breaking his promise.”
You grin. “Oh, I am. You wouldn’t happen to be able to tell me where he is, would you? He may have helped us get together at last, but Percy has consequences to face.”
Grover chuckles. “I couldn’t be happier to help you out with that.”
It’s simply what the boy deserves. After that, you’ll have your happiness with Grover for quite some time. You couldn’t feel more free.
requested by @hope92100, i hope you enjoy!

The Lightning Thief Summary
Here I was thinking I'd finish editing this today and still have plenty of time before the show airs and then they release the episodes early sjkdfhsdkfh
Anyway over a year later and it's done! Thank you for everyone who's been patient with my posts despite taking so long to finish. I'll put a pause on my book analyses so I can focus on reading the Trials of Apollo (I never finished the series,,,,,) so I can finally read all the new content we got this year! Maybe I'll make live posts as I read 👀 I kinda want to make posts about the tv show when it airs too.... we'll see :D
Until then, here's a summary of the first book:
Themes
The concept of home In terms of a physical place, Camp Half-Blood is the biggest example of this, as a sanctuary for demigods who struggle to survive and fit in in the regular world. I find it interesting how in every book something threatens the existence of CHB as a safe place. In this case it's something small, the hellhound that Luke brought in. Luke even says he did it so Chiron would believe camp wasn't safe and send Percy off on a quest. Each threat progressively gets worse, which forces the demigods to go on quests to either directly or indirectly save/help their home. There's also people as a place to call home, like how Sally is to Percy. Funny enough the motif of demigods going on quests to protect their home also applies to here because Percy doesn't accept his quest to save CHB, he does it to save his mom, the only person at that point he felt at home with. Because brain is hardwired to think about percabeth all the time I'll put this out in the open: Percy and Annabeth stand on opposite ends of the "what is home" spectrum at the beginning, Percy's being a person and Annabeth's being a place, and then they kinda switch with Percy finding a home at CHB and Annabeth learning to call her mortal family home. But haha psyche it's actually them growing to call each other home. Like when Percy is on the fence whether to stay at camp for the year or not, a major reason he decides against it is bc Annabeth won't be there. And then Annabeth would never have considered living with her dad again is Percy didn't encourage her.
Supporting others and having support from loved ones This pops up a lot in the book and it's an important driving force for a lot of the characters: Percy having a loving mother, the trio having each other's backs throughout their quest, the trio supporting each other's goals, even Poseidon watching over Percy. When they're at their lowest, when they think about giving up, they all had someone who picked them back up, someone who eased the pain a little, and that helped them keep going and lift them up. On the topic of Percy vs Luke, this is a major point that distinguishes the two as heroes. Percy has a support system that he can fall back to when he makes mistakes or bad things happen to him while Luke doesn't, not really. Although it's hard to tell from Percy's pov whether Luke had any close friends or not, it doesn't seem like he had anyone to confide in (at least after Thalia). He's left to stew in his negative emotions, another reason why he was so easy to be manipulated.
Identity Maybe too early to really talk about this, but the first book introduces this idea of how characters identify themselves, and especially who they identify with. Demigods being categorized demigods by their godly parent and also them choosing whether to identify by that or not. On the flip side, demigods feeling lost or not seen when they either aren't claimed or don't have a cabin to truly call theirs. There's also Annabeth who practically grew up in this system and internalized it, and came to find there's more to the world than just who your godly parent is. And Percy on the opposite side again lmao, who considers himself Sally Jackson's son first and foremost, and then learns to accept Poseidon in his life in whatever form it entails.
Worship of the gods and broken systems Probably the most important theme to the plot line of the series. I talked a lot about this in terms of Percy vs Luke for my ch 21 and 22 posts, essentially how demigods' over-reliance on the gods breeds a flawed and defective system. A subtheme for this is the gods and responsibility: who gets blamed for the actions of the gods? are the gods obligated to claim and acknowledge their children? I think what makes Percy the perfect Child of the Prophecy is that he has never relied on the gods as omniscient and almighty beings to give him what he needs, he instead relies on his own power, and that allows him to work with the gods to create change in future books. He never had a moment where he worshiped the gods and also never had a moment of disillusionment bc he was immediately thrust into a situation that revealed out broken the system was as soon as he was brought into the world of immortals. He sees the gods and their world as they are, both the good and the bad.
Characters
Percy: I'll just summarize his core qualities since I talk too much about this kid 😂: Percy is strong-minded and doesn’t back down easily, he has high integrity, he’s incredibly loyal to his friends and stands up for them, he heavily relies on his instincts and is impulsive, he's also very street-smart! he's impertinent lol and doesn't take well to authority if he feels it isn’t deserving or fair, he loves loves loves his mom, he always fights to protect, he has an incredibly low self-esteem and desires others to see beyond the trouble that follows him, he doesn't like "bothering" people with his problems. His sass and spite probably formed as a defense mechanism against his low self-esteem and the abusive environment he grew up in. It's interesting reading the book while fully looking at Percy's characteristics in terms of how growing up with Gabe affected him. For example, if he had a stable home, would his self esteem be as low as it is?
This pops up at the end and becomes hugely important in the later books, but Percy tends to take on responsibilities way too personally and they tend to become fixations. After Luke's betrayal, Percy is like I have to go find him and I can't just sit around while Luke is planning to destroy the world. He's like,,,, proactive to a fault.
Traits he probably gets as a child of Poseidon bc I love discussions that try to pinpoint this: the inability regulate strong emotions, like his temper; his brooding expression that gives him the air of a troublemaker and loose canon; his difficultly in following the rules; obv his love of beaches too.
Annabeth: As I've said before, Annabeth makes a good foil for Percy as the logical and book-smart person to Percy's heavy emotions and instincts. She's introduced as someone who's opposing to Percy in almost every way: someone who's entire world is her godly parent and the immortal world, who relies on her brain first before anything else, who's a bit manipulative, who's very confident in her abilities. But they also have some similarities: where Annabeth has faced lots of abandonment and Percy has faced a lot of rejection, and from these experiences they both have come to desire acknowledgement of their worth and the good in them. And they come to find these things in each other. It's also important to note how they learn from one another on their quest, like Percy starting to form strategies in his battles and Annabeth finding that the immortal world isn't everything.
Annabeth's aspirations and fatal flaw are very much tied together, since she's learned growing up that she can only rely on herself to do things right, plus having incredible pride as a child of Athena, led to her developing hubris. And it goes hand-in-hand with her desire for something permanent since she's never had something stable prior to arriving at camp. Her dream to be an architect allows her to both create something that will last eternity and make her stamp on the world.
Grover: The growth for Grover is a little less prominent compared to Percy and Annabeth. He's introduced as being meek with low-confidence but he has Big Dreams for that Tiny Body. It's really because he has Percy and Annabeth that he's able to grow and gain more confidence in himself, without them his aspirations would just be a pipe dream (I'm sorry I made an accidental pun lol). Grover rises to the occasion because he has people who believe in him and frequently tell him so and he also wants to meet those expectations. And that support takes physical form at the end of the book, both with Grover gaining his searcher license and him getting a growth spurt. You can see with your eyes how much he's matured, filling into the shoes of the person he wants to be in a literal sense.
Luke: Whereas Annabeth is different from Percy in every way but the ones that really matter, Luke is similar to Percy in every aspect except ones that really matter. He's a very caring and supportive person, so much so that he takes Percy under his wing when no one else does when Percy arrives at camp. He sees a broken system in the immortal world and wants something better for demigods. And yet he's also incredibly selfish, he leans more into putting himself and his desires first before anything else. He had relied too much on the gods to fix and provide everything and becomes bitter when that doesn't happen. Despite being a source of support for others, he doesn't have that for himself. And because of these differences, Luke is way more susceptible to Kronos' influence than Percy is. Kronos can offer glory and power and self gratification, and where Percy would refuse because it goes against his morals and who he is (someone who thinks about others before himself), Luke is more likely to be swayed.
Honestly Luke seems like a "what if" in comparison to Percy. What if Percy lost his mom? What if he was left at camp when he was younger? What if Percy never found a support system? All the examples I'm thinking of boil down to Percy having a parental figure that guides him and teaches him important lessons, while Luke doesn't lmao.
There's two sides in Luke, love vs anger, kindness vs selfishness, gods vs titans, celestial bronze vs steel, and this conflict appears frequently throughout the series. I want to see what moments this conflict shows itself in the later books!
Other things to keep in mind for the series when I continue reading and other notes:
Does Percy have claustrophobia? Or does it only show up at St Louis lol
The parallels between Percy and Luke
Ways Percy and Annabeth get closer and learn from one another

lookism x percy jackson
look i KNOW i should stop coming up with au ideas but. i thought of a way to write that soldier poet king au and it’s a lookism x percy jackson universe
the original song was technically about recovering from abuse, and i’ll put the summarized / paraphrased / slightly changed interpretations here so it doesn’t clog up space where my notes are
soldier: physically remove the abuser and trauma they caused 
poet: provide rationale against the abuser to fight their influence
king: show kindness and love to overcome aftereffects of abuse
SOLDIER: CHOI SOOJUNG
original lyric: there will come a soldier // who carries a mighty sword  // he will tear your city down // oh lei oh lai oh lord
daughter of zeus: canonically daughter of one of the most powerful men ever, father has other ‘kids’ (10 geniuses are zeus’ adopted children)
my interpretation of soldier: listens to father’s instructions, the gods’ number 1 supporter, would destroy you if the orders were given to her because it’s her duty and duty is unavoidable and inevitable
soldier with og meaning: would remove any threats to the people she cares about, not afraid to get blood on her hands for law and order
weapon of choice: sword, lightning
POET: PARK HYUNGSEOK
original lyric: there will come a poet // whose weapon is his word // he will slay you with his tongue // oh lei oh lai oh lord
son of aphrodite: the signature Beautiful Guy (dg is son of apollo probably), loved by everyone, not the best at fighting but gets better
my interpretation of poet: weapon is his word because he’s a son of aphrodite he can literally charmspeak people into doing whatever the hell he wants once he learns how to do it well, slay you with his tongue bc aphrodite forced him to learn how to french kiss like irina jelavich from assassination classroom
poet with og meaning: able to confront the truth for what it is, understand it and overcome it, calm and capable of talking people down from fights
weapon of choice: bow, shapeshifting
KING: HONG JAEYEOL
original lyric: there will come a ruler // whose brow is laid in thorn // smeared with oil like david’s boy // oh lei oh lai oh lord
son of hades: not hades / hong kyeongyeong’s favorite child, but definitely is the most powerful one, inherited the most of hades’ abilities
my interpretation of king: the most powerful in terms of fighting ability & authority (let’s face it soojung is not zeus’ fav kid even though she’s the only true half-blood daughter instead of having diluted zeus blood), he’s also the one who’s most experienced with godhood so he’s the one people go to to ask what’s the ‘right’ decision
king with og meaning: if he loves you he’ll be the kindest person you’ll ever meet, would sacrifice everything and/or be a martyr if it means safety
weapon of choice: scythe, physical shadows
PLOT
prophecy: do NOT ask me to poetry right now but it basically implies hyungseok is going to destroy the gods (aka the four crews / 1st gen / pre gen), soojung and jaeyeol are also involved in the prophecy, states that one of them will die but nobody knows who. naturally they get forced to go on a quest together
expectation: soojung and jaeyeol will kill hyungseok because they’re children of the big three and hyungseok is just a nobody who got abandoned at birth and grew up with a poor mortal + he’s going to destroy their parents and they should have some filial piety right
plot twist: well guess what jaeyeol and hades are not on the best terms, jaeyeol literally would not care less if the gods got kicked off their pedestals, somehow he and hyungseok befriend each other and jaeyeol falls for him but hyungseok is oblivious. hyungseok is still hoping the prophecy has a double meaning and has 0 idea about jaeyeol’s feelings the whole time, jaeyeol gets bullied by aphrodite. actually hyungseok likes jaeyeol too but he’s scared of being bullied by aphrodite / jaeyeol hating him when he finds out / dying, so he doesn’t tell jaeyeol anything
reality: somehow someone tricks hyungseok into cursing jaeyeol and soojung to fight each other, the gods are already kind of in panic because hyungseok is pretty op by now but jaeyeol doesn’t want hyungseok to die at the end of the prophecy so he lets soojung kill him, but this is precisely the reason why hyungseok goes ballistic and destroys the gods
ENDING
we could have the good ending or the bad ending what would you prefer
bad ending: hyungseok destroys the gods but gets mortally wounded in turn, he dies hand in hand with jaeyeol and the furies rip their souls to shreds so they will never be reborn but at least they’re dead together. soojung tries her best not to get crushed under the guilt and grief of losing two of her closest friends
good ending: hades pops up at the end like damn ok. you had your character development. i guess it’s time for me to start my good dad arc. and then revives jaeyeol, so basically the gods get bullied by a half-mortal twink trying to protect his not-boyfriend who was un-alived and has now been re-alived. the prophecy works out bc nobody said dead people couldn’t come back to life + the gods got rekt that counts as being destroyed
will i write this au? i don’t know! will it be fun to write? oh absolutely

I just finished reading Beastly by Alex Flinn and my percico brain rot is so bad I just can’t stop thinking about it. A Nico who post Bianca never really interacted with Percy or the camp again. Nico sticking to the shadows, doing the things he needs to canonically then dipping. To everyone at camp he’s just a blur they sometimes see in the corner of their eye. He shows up to battles or to save Percy but he’s gone before anyone can talk to him. And Percy’s been watching him mature from the corner of his eye, always a second too late to just get him to stay, and his heart aches.
Then there’s Nico who’s spiteful and hurt still because he never really got closure and still woefully in love with Percy. But he’s mean and thinks he’s unlovable and pushes people away. The closest person he has to him is maybe Hazel but he has so many walls up that there relationship just isn’t what it’s like in canon. And then Nico is still hung up over the way Hades treated him at the start. So even their relationship is strained even though Nico is the hero Hades has always wanted in a son.
But then maybe after the Athena Parthenon Nico is done with social interaction, Will had forced him to stay at camp to recover but he’d left as soon as he was able. A minor god or goddess sends him on a quest and maybe he fails or maybe he just annoys them with how pissy he’s being but they put a curse on him.
“Now you are as ugly on the outside as you believe yourself to be on the inside. Prove yourself lovable and my curse will be lifted.”
The only person he can go to is hades who is furious. His son, whose helped save the world twice has been turned into a beast like the creatures he slays. So he sets up Nico in a nice little brownstone where Nico becomes even more of a recluse.
There’s a scene in the book in which Adrian talks about giving up the name Kyle because it means handsome one, and it’s very funny to me. But i think in the same vein Nico would give up the name Victory ya know? Especially a Nico who’s had such little interaction with other people. This Nico wouldn’t think he was a winner, but I have no clue what he’d name himself.
Anyways Hades sends along a maid, so Nico won’t be entirely alone, Nico doesn’t know it but it’s the god who cursed him, having been forced to attend to his needs by an irate Hades. Maybe we see another familiar face to go in and tutor him or maybe it’s an oc, just someone who takes the role and makes Nico finally open his heart.
And he’s okay with them. He starts to care about them the only people he’s had consistent contact with since Bianca but then Percy Jackson tumbles into his life. Needing a place to lay low or something and Nico(who’s totally pretending to not be Nico) takes him in. Cares about him the way he’s cared for the god and his tutor. And then we get a sweet ending in which Nico saves him from a monster, they kiss and admit their love and Nico returns to how he used to look.
I don’t know, all the logistics are tumbling around in my head and I think itd be such a convoluted story but then I think of all the implications and I wanna cry. Can you imagine the scenes with bob?? Percy learning that Nico a boy he hasn’t spoken to in years is singing his praise to the titan he’d forgotten 😭😭😭 or even Percy being chained up by hades before the river styx. I just imagine Nico who had no clue about his fathers plans coming and saving him, and Percy feels so betrayed and Nico let’s him and then shoves him in the Styx because might as well if Percy’s already down here.
Anyways this isn’t really a prompt but more me needing to get rid of all these thoughts before I start another wip I’ll never finish 😅 maybe I still will but I was very excited by all the possibilities. Any thoughts if I do end up writing it? I love your writing and characterization, got any ideas on who would be his tutor or what he’d change his name to?
Okay, the story idea is quite fascinating. My first thought is that Nico has always been an extrovert who is misunderstood as an introvert due to his own traumas and holdbacks, so being transformed would just play further into that. He would be very low energy and socially starved, which may cause his lashing out at the god who curses him.
As for the tutor, I offer either Aceso or Zelus. The former due to being the goddess of the healing process, and her curse would be a way for Nico to "heal himself", so to speak, and the latter is the god of jealousy and fervor, so him being petty enough to curse Nico but also growing to care for him makes sense (he would also be a good foil to Nico's own negative feelings).
As for the name, I honestly have no idea. From this page on bad name meanings, Damian or Huxley sound appropriate, but renaming is not something I have experience with.

infinity train percy jackson au stuff because i'm hyperfixating
(quick disclaimer i havent read the books cause adhd but ive been digging into the story as much as i can through literally every other medium lol)
so the basics: jesse is the son of posiedon. the story would follow roughly the same plot as the first book etc, with jesse not knowing he's a demigod, shit goes down, he ends up at camp, gets a quest, etc
even though tulip fits annabeth way better than lake does, lake will take annabeth's place since yknow percy and annabeth end up together and stuff. plus i like the chemistry (i'm specfically thinking of the "you drool when you sleep" moment that's so them)
tulip sorta technically takes grover's place but she's not a satyr or protector or anything she just needs a spot in the trio and that's what's left lol. she's a daughter of hephaestus (you could argue athena for sure buuuut ive seen other ppl say hephaestus and i like that better for her, especially cause then her and lake can be twins).
some details about jesse:
nate is technically his half brother. whitney is both their moms, stephan is nate's bio dad and legal dad to both of them. i feel like their parents would at least let jesse and nate know that jesse has a different dad, but they would keep the god part to themselves to keep them safe.
so here's the backstory with whitney and poseidon (yes i thought it through this much leave me alone): whitney met poseidon when she was young and they had a thing. she knew stephan at the time, he was her closest friend but they weren't romantic. stephan supported whitney's relationship with poseidon as long as she didn't forget him, which she never did. jesse was conceived and poseidon left, as he does, but stephan was there for whitney. stephan helps raise jesse and eventually whitney falls in love (stephan had done that a while ago), and then a few years later they have nate.
jesse knows stephan isn't his bio dad but he doesn't care, they love each other just the same. it's not something a lot of people know either, it's one of the few things jesse keeps private about himself. the only people who know are immeadiate family.
so yeah, stephan and whitney don't tell the kids about the god thing to keep them safe. they're aware of CHB, and they're sure that jesse's swimming skills come from posiedon. thankfully he doesn't show any crazy powers or anything so they're not too overprotective.
upon arriving to camp, everyone's sure he's an apollo kid. the only person who isn't is lake, but that's also only because they saw him control the water. i could see jesse being put in the apollo cabin to save space in the hermes cabin despite not being claimed because they're just so sure he's apollo's son.
jesse hates fighting. he could probably be pretty decent at it if he wanted to, but he doesn't. he avoids having to learn combat as much as possible. he talks to lake about how much he hates it, and lake says he should really learn at the least the basics just for his own safety, so he agrees to let lake teach him some in private.
jesse refuses to choose a weapon, and just uses a shield and his hydrokinesis to fight but only when necessary. the shield is celestial bronze and turns into a bracelet with a charm that's a mini version of the shield.
about lake:
lake is a child of hephaestus, twin to tulip. tulip doesn't know she has a twin. lake was raised at camp and had never left, until one day, they just couldn't take it anymore and left camp. a magical deer (the yet-to-be-named alan dracula) insisted on following them, which they quickly welcomed.
lake doesn't have the usual abilities of a hephaestus kid. instead, they're more like one of his automatons, being inhumanly strong and endurant. though it doesn't look like metal, few things can truly puncture lake's skin. they've also got some pretty bad eczema and a good deal of scars, so yeah. their skin still makes them stand out.
lake especially appreciated the companionship, since once they left, they began being tailed by a monster (who's like an amalgamation of mace and sieve, haven't quite figured that part out yet).
lake wandered the country for about a month and a half, headed west. they didn't know why, they just felt compelled to head west. eventually they ended up in arizona and met jesse, and the two became friends naturally over the course of a few months.
lake had managed to throw the flec-monster off their trail for a good while, but one day, it finds them. jesse's parents hear the commotion, and upon seeing a monster, tell him to fight back. jesse doesn't know how, and lake tries to explain it to him as they realize he must be a demigod too, but lake gets knocked out. alan dracula picks up lake and urges jesse to run, and his parents tell him to follow the deer. at this point, they've realized that alan dracula had led lake to him to protect him. so jesse follows AD, and he takes them to camp half-blood.
lake isn't exactly happy to be back at CHB but that's overshadowed by them worrying about jesse. they watch over him in the infirmary.
lake grew up at camp. not quite sure how they got there, but tulip doesn't know she has a twin until she has her own little adventure where she arrives at camp aroung age 12-13. megan thinks lake (whose deadname is magnolia, maggie for short, MT for really short) is dead.
lake was probably raised by a mix of chiron, hestia, and some of the older campers when they were really young. since they're the youngest demigod the camp ever had, and since they got into so much trouble in the hermes cabin, they were moved to the big house. eventually after tulip arrived and the two of them were claimed (at the same time), they moved to the hephaestus cabin. lake honestly hates it there and wants their bed in the big house back.
lake had a habit of sneaking out of camp to explore, and because they just wanted to be able to do what they choose damnit, but never got far before being chased back in by the flec-monster. that's how they got most of the scars.
their chosen weapon is a pair of celestial bronze daggers that can turn into rings.
i really wanna do something with lake's mirror but i don't really have any ideas lol. sometimes in aus where lake's human (or in this case, part human) i just give them a birthmark on their leg or smthn, ideas are very much welcome!
now for tulip:
like i said, tulip is a daughter of hephaestus. tulip doesn't know she's a demigod until her parents take her to camp when she's about 12. they do it for her safety, and also to give her somewhere to go while they work out the divorce stuff. tulip meets lake pretty quickly and they get claimed together. tulip spends summers at camp but goes home the rest of the year.
tulip is definitely very smart and pragmatic like an athena kid, and she gets along well with just about everyone in athena's cabin. however, she doesn't like battle the way they do. she'd rather be making something than fighting. she still likes coding and brings her laptop with her to camp.
she probably made a little robot who very closely resembles one-one. he's not technically in this au but i'll give him some little cameos.
tulip attempts to bond with lake by making them cool weapons. it kinda works, but not as well as she'd hoped.
one night tulip hears lake leaving the cabin in the middle of the night. she catches up with them, and finds them all dressed and packed and equiped. she questions them, and lake just bluntly states they're leaving. tulip realizes they're serious about leaving camp. she asks them to wait and gives them some extra supplies and weapons before they leave, makes them promise not to die out there, then helps them get away from the flec-monster long enough to get headed away from camp.
tulip definitely worries about lake, mainly cause she's seen just how dangerous the flec-monster can be, but she tries to just trust lake. it's only about 6 months before lake shows back up with jesse, which is very confusing, but ultimately tulip is happy lake's back and this new kid is nice enough. a bit painfully nice, tulip takes one look at him and says he must be an apollo kid. she doesn't understand why lake is insisting he can control water. he can't be a kid of the big three, he's a dork. obviously he's not that kid from the prophecy, and lake just hit their head a little too hard when they were knocked out.
tulip has pyrokinesis, as well as the usual abilities of a hephaestus kid
her weapon is a good old sword, a special one she made that can turn into a variety of tools
a few more little things:
grace is a daughter of aphrodite who can charmspeak
simon is a son of either ares or athena, and would probably have a role very similar to luke's. i'm not gonna think about that too hard though because i have 0 interest in anything simon related lol (i also don't plan on yknow, planning out a whole plot for this so it doesnt really matter anyway)
i was thinking a lot of denizens, namely AD, the cat, atticus, tuba, etc could just be animals who were affected by the gods but i think that's kinda messy and im not gonna do that after all. but if you like the idea feel free to run w it
despite being younger and smaller lake has kicked simon's ass (in capture the flag and sparring) numerous times but simon refuses to admit it
i had a very vague idea involving medusa and reflections. that's it that's the whole idea that's all ive got
i just realized i did not think about amelia or any of the book 4 characters at all oops. sorry
i was very much inspired by these posts so check them out! also heavily inspired by the musical. i would love to know your thoughts and ideas for this because i am hyperfixating so bad lol

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
The Percy Jackson series got off to a wobbly start but a sequel had every opportunity to expand on what worked and ditch the rest. Now that we’d gotten over all the introductions, we’d be able to dig in properly. Maybe we could explore a more complicated story, get to know the characters better and see them grow the way the heroes in the Harry Potter series did with each subsequent chapter. Unfortunately, your hopes for Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters are dashed away by Marc Guggenheim's terrible screenplay. By the time it gets to a conclusion that promises “we’ve got even more coming in the third one!” you want to tell it not to bother.
Tumblr media
Set some time after the events of the first movie, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) is the son of Poseidon, a demi-god who trains at Camp Half-Blood with the sons and daughters of the Greek Pantheon. His best friends are Grover (Brandon T. Jackson), a satyr, and Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), the daughter of Athena. When the magical tree that protects the camp from attacks begins to die, the trio chooses to defy their elders’ orders and go on a quest to save it. To do so, they must travel to the Sea of Monsters and recover the Golden Fleece. Tagging along is Percy’s newly-discovered half-brother, a cyclops named Tyson (Douglas Smith). While Percy wonders if he’s up to the task or simply a one-quest wonder, the cyclops’ presence worries Annabeth.
The problems are immediately recognizable. Percy worries he’s not the hero of legend because he’s only saved the world once? How can anyone relate to his “woe is me” attitude? Similarly, Annabeth not trusting Tyson just doesn’t feel right. It’s pretty obvious her aversion to the one-eyed dummy stems from some past traumatic experience but the film fails to make us understand why she’s all secretive about it. We see cyclopses act villainous but those are big, adult ones that tower over our heroes. Will Tyson even grow up to be that size? He seems too stupid to pose any threat. She simply comes off as racist.
It begins on the wrong foot and from there, things don’t get much better. We learn of a prophecy. We're told a child of the three elder gods will either save Olympus, or destroy it (what’s the alternative?) while battling with Luke Castellan (Jake Abel), the villainous son of Hermes that served as the antagonist of the previous film. I could’ve sworn he was dead, but sure. Now I know what you’re thinking. Hmm. What a coincidence. Didn't we just meet a new son of Poseidon mere moments ago? I won’t say too much but let's put it this way. This is a baaaad screenplay that makes obvious mistakes. Tyson’s part in this story is one of them.
As our heroes travel outside of Camp Half-Blood, they obviously have to travel inconspicuously among Muggles, which means they have to disguise Tyson using a magic potion… that Annabeth brought along with her for no reason? Their means of travel is a discount-version of the Night Bus from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the price of admission is a torrent of horrible jokes the film thinks are really funny. You tolerate them, always reminding yourself of that titular Sea of Monsters. "Once we get there, things will turn around." I’ve got some bad news for you. There aren’t a whole lot of monsters in this movie and when we encounter them, they’re kraken-sized disappointments. Every confrontation between the heroes and the villains feels like a piece of cake. At least the special effects are pretty good but this whole adventure feels like it’s missing something.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is nothing more than a knockoff of the Harry Potter films. Whether this is the case with the books as well I can’t tell but if it was implied with the last film, it’s cripplingly obvious here. Percy Jackson 2 puts all of its weight on familiar tropes and plot threads like its left leg’s just been chopped off. It can’t even manage to do that right. Numerous plot threads and characters are introduced and given no purpose. This film's intended audience is too smart to fall for such a lacklustre sequel. (February 14, 2020)

Estelle and The Mark of Arachnid: The Trident of Poseidon (Chapter 6)
[First Chapter] - [Previous Chapter] - [Next Chapter]
Chapter 6: Surprise! My Brother is Joseph Joestar!
Disclaimer: The following is a non-profit, fanbase series. Percy Jackson and the Olympians; Heroes of Olympus; Trials of Apollo; Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard are owned by Rick Riordan. Spiderman or any concept of him are owned by Marvel Comics and Sony Entertainment. Please support the official releases.
Percy gave us the tour of Camp Half-Blood.
Camp Half-Blood is a safe haven for demigods so that they can train and learn to defend themselves. Many of these kids have unique powers and abilities they can use to protect themselves. But, the moment these kids find out about their origin, their scents become more active and monsters are able to sniff them out. Which is why many of them are still out there, in hiding. Most of them are even shunned by society because they are different and nobody will know why. That would explain about Percy and Sam being bullied in the past. And the crazy part? Sometimes the kids will head out to the world for some crazy adventures, fight monsters and save the world. 
“So, let me get this straight,” I said. “This is a place for those with godly blood in them and are learning to control their powers and do fun camp activities and go out and save the world by doing missions called quests?” 
“Pretty much, yeah,” Percy answered. 
“…This is just like the X-Men,” I replied. 
“Oh my god, it is!” Sam agreed.
Percy was gonna argue with me about comparing it to a comic book series. But, I mean, come on! They both are a safe place for kids with powers; do normal people activities like school or summer camp and send them to do dangerous missions and save the world; even the adults are demigods teaching the younger generations how to fight and survive! The only thing missing is if the camp was being counseled by a crippled Patrick Stewart.
Ugh, getting off track here. Anyways, after our talk, Sam got even more excited. 
“Do you tend to have people with powers to shoot lasers or teleport? What about telekinesis or transformation?” 
Sam was asking a lot of X-Men related questions about Camp Half-Blood. Percy tried to explain to us how the Camp is different to the X-Men. But it’s gonna be really difficult to convince Sam otherwise. Anyways, Percy showed us more about the camp. The infirmary was near the center of Camp which mostly involved the cabins for the campers. So far it seems that there’s dozen of cabins and each one represents a different god. I noticed that they also have both Greek and Roman names of the gods. When I asked, Percy said it was because there’s also Roman demigods too. I found that confusing because it’s literally the same thing, just with different names. Though I can tell from Percy that it was gonna be a long story to tell. He said that once he finishes the tour, he’ll talk about how this all happened around the time he found out about himself. 
He showed us a lot of stuff here at Camp. Apparently, the Camp is being protected by a giant energy barrier that prevents monsters from attacking. They even got some regular camp events such as Arts and Crafts; canoeing; volleyball, and they even  have a strawberry field. It looks like an ordinary summer camp with an Ancient Greek theme to it. The only difference? The camp also has an Arena for combat training, an Amphitheater for camp meetings; even a freaking Forge and Armory area too. And get this, they even have a Pegasus stable.
Pegasus!
Literal flying horses exist!
Sam and I have dreamed of riding one since we were little and watched My Little Pony. Tell anyone and I will hunt you down. 
Percy showed us around the stables and… we were just amazed by the pegasi and wanted to pet them. Percy told us it’s not safe to pet them because some of them are a little mischievous. I asked how he knew that.
“I can talk to them.”
“Huh?”
“Yeah,” Percy replied. “I can talk to horses and fishes. I’ll tell you about that later.”
Percy did not elaborate and continued the tour. 
I… I don’t know what else to say at this point… 
So let's just move on; As Percy continues the tour, we reach toward the counselor’s house. Percy calls it The Big House.
“This is where our counselor, Chiron, lives. It’s pretty much where we can plan for camp activities, battle plans and prepping for quests.”
“I’m sorry, battle plans?” I asked.
“He’s referring to strategies for capturing the flag activity,” Said another voice. Sam and I looked toward the entrance and saw a man in a wheelchair, he looked about the same age as Percy and had a scruffy beard. And unlike Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), he has hair. 
At this point, you might as well cue the X-Men 90’s theme song. 
“Estelle, meet Chiron, the Camp Counselor, a centaur… and a friend.”
I look at Percy with a raised eyebrow.
“Percy, the counselor is on a wheelchair. Like Charles Xavier.”
Chiron laughed.
“You must be Estelle Blofis. Percy told me a lot about you.”
“I hope they’re good things,” I replied. 
Chiron chuckles, “In case you’re wondering, I am indeed a centaur, but I am greeting you in my human form. So that way I don’t shock you too much about everything.”
“Well, I appreciate that, Mr. Chiron, sir. But, we got attacked by  Tweety the bird and her big ogre friend.”
“Actually, that was the Minotaur.”
“…I’m sorry, what?”
“The Minotaur, a half-human and hal-”
“I know what a minotaur is,” I interrupted. “I meant, why was the freaking minotaur involved?!”
Chiron replied, “On that, I do not know. But, it seems he was very delighted to have his rematch with Percy.”
“I’m sorry, WHAT?!” 
After asking many (and I mean a lot) questions, Percy said he’ll explain it all later. For now, we had to discuss Sam's situation. 
“Percy explained to me about the situation. Unfortunately, I do not know why Vulture and the Minotaur were near you two.”
“Vulture did say something about scouting. Maybe she was looking at a place she was planning to attack?” I said. 
Chiron seemed pale as Percy spoke, “Chiron, you think they’re gonna attempt to attack Olympus?” 
“Olympus? You mean Mt. Olympus?” I asked. 
Chiron and Percy explained to me how Olympus actually exists in New York, right on top of the Empire State Building. I used to go there sometimes with mom and dad. To think that this whole time it was a meeting ground for gods. 
“But why would she attack what would most likely be a heavily secured place?” Percy said.
“She did say something about her master. She may have been working for someone,” I added. 
“Chiron?” Percy asked. “Do you know something?”
Chiron took a deep breath and nodded, “I will tell you about it later, Percy. For now, let’s get the girls some rest for today. In a couple of days, we will be having our Capture-the-Flag event.”
Sam gasped excitedly, “Can we join?!” 
“You will, Samantha Stacy. For now, we need to introduce you to the campers tonight.”
“What about me?” I asked. “Can’t I join?” 
“No,” Percy answered. “You can’t join, Estelle. Camp activities are a lot different here.”
I scoffed, “Come on, it can’t be that bad. What, you guys use foam swords and shields to pretend to be Greek warriors?”
Chiron laughs, “You, Estelle Blofis, are a lot like your brother.”
“Oh, that’s not a good thing, Chiron. One Percy is too much for this world to handle.”
He and Sam laughed hysterically while Percy was frowning. 
“Oh I love her, Percy,” Chiron said. “I just hope she doesn’t get any influence from you.” 
“W-whatever; look, just know that Camp Half-Blood’s activities are a lot different then regular camp activities. I’ll explain it all in the meantime.”
I rolled my eyes. 
Clearly, Percy is just being an overprotective big brother. I mean, how bad can Camp Half-Blood be? It’s not like kids die here? Right?
“Well, for now, Estelle will be staying with you at your Cabin, Percy; and Sam will be staying in the Unclaimed Cabin for now. Tomorrow, we will send Estelle back home and-”
“I’m staying,” I interrupted. “Look, I may not be a demigod; have super powers or anything supernatural. But, I’ve been by Sam’s side ever since we were kids. I have been her partner in crime and kept her safe until now. And I will continue doing so, with or without your permission. 
Percy sighed in frustration. He tries to convince me that Sam is going to be okay here. But even so, I can’t leave her on her own. She just lost her only family. I’m all she has left. 
And we all know how gods are with their children; I read the mythologies. So whoever Sam’s mother is, it won’t be enough. 
I’m all she got left.
Before Percy could convince me otherwise, Chiron spoke. 
“We can continue this conversation for another time. For now, get some rest and eat at the Mess Hall. Tomorrow, I’ll announce to the campers our newest member here and then the following day, We’ll start the event for Capture the Flag.”
Percy agreed and guided me and Sam to the cabins. 
Before I could ask which cabin he and I were staying in, Percy already showed us his cabin. The cabin was blue and had several marine-like decorations with a sign in Greek terms. I couldn’t tell what it says, but I can guess just from how the cabin looks. 
“Percy… is your dad, Poseidon?”
He nodded, “Yeah, God of the Sea.” 
Honestly, that explains so much. 
Sam gasped in excitement, “You’re a son of Poseidon? Of the Big Three?”
“That does explain a lot of things about you, bro. For example, you never get wet during rainstorms, fishes seem to like you in aquariums and you ARE the best swimmer I know out there.”
Percy opens his cabin door. 
The entire room describes Percy. The messy bundle of clothes; the unmade sheets on the bed; some leftover snacks by the side and there was also some armor and weapons by the side. The interior was Ocean-based  decoration and colored with a blue-green mix color. Sam and I were amazed by the size of the cabin. 
“Each Cabin has a different look and tends to show each unique style similar to the Olympians and their children. You should see the others, theirs are much bigger than mine.”
“Is it because the gods tend to be busy hooking up with humans?” I asked. 
Percy chuckled, “Yeah, and as you can see, I’m an only child. Or rather, an only human-child.”
I was confused for a second, then I recalled the myths.
“Wait.. are all horses-”
“Yep,” Percy replied.
Well… at least we’ll know what most of Percy’s siblings like to eat. 
“That explains why every horse reminds me of you, Percy. Your untamable hair, your sloppy eating habits, your-”
Percy ruffles my hair, “Okay, you little brat, just set your stuff on the bed next to mine. I’m gonna show Sam her cabin.”
“Hold on,” I said as I looked at the end table next to Percy’s bed. I saw a picture and saw several familiar faces. 
“Is that you and Annabeth around my age? And is that.. It is!” I yelled as I recognized the faces. 
I knew most of the faces in this picture, Frank, Hazel, Leo and… I was shocked at the next person I saw. 
“Is that Piper McClean?! The actress?!” I yelled. 
Sam and Percy walked towards me and looked at the picture. 
Sam squealed in excitement. Piper McClean is this really beautiful and amazing actress that me and Sam always love watching. She is confident; kind and funny, especially off-screen too. We always hope to meet her in person someday, but never did I think that my idiotic brother actually knew her in person.
“Yeah, that’s Piper. We all had to travel to Italy and Greece with them to save the world. It was crazy, dangerous and we almost died. But… I knew we’d win when I had them by my side, especially Annabeth,” He said with a nostalgic tone. I also recognize there was a seventh person in the picture. He was tall, handsome, a bit muscular, had blonde hair and was wearing glasses. 
“Who’s that?” I asked. Percy looked and replied. 
“That’s… Jason. Son of Jupiter, or Zeus in Greek terms.”
“How come I never met him?” I asked. Besides Piper McClean, I met Frank, Hazel and Leo before and I considered them as family; so did mom and dad. But I never heard of Jason, nor met him. 
“Let me guess, he’s out there saving the world like some Superman, right?” I said with a teasing tone.
Percy didn’t show any change of emotion in his face, but I can tell from his eyes. They were filled with loss and grief.
“Jason’s… not around… anymore…” 
“Oh…” 
“We can talk about that later, at the Mess Hall. For now, I’m gonna show Sam where she is sleeping. In the meantime, call mom and Paul and let them know you’re okay. I left some of your stuff by the bed. We’ll be back.” 
I nodded as Sam and Percy left while I contacted my parents. 
After I contacted my parents and told them I was okay, I also asked a lot of things about Annabeth. Turns out, she’s a daughter of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. That also explains so much about her; she always seems to know anything, anywhere, anytime. So my next big question is what did Percy do to get a girl like Annabeth? 
Well, I’m sure he’ll tell me. 
After my talk with Annabeth, I reassured my parents that I will be staying with Sam at Camp. I was half-expecting them to deny the idea; but instead agreed to it because it was much safer here than back home. Especially since the monsters now got my scent. 
After we got settled in our cabins, we headed toward the mess hall and ate some food. Percy took me and Sam to the mess hall, or what it’s usually called the Dining Pavilion, and food was already by the table. Percy told us how each table is arranged for a god and that it’s forbidden for a demigod of another god to sit at another table. However, he said that Poseidon is a chill guy and wouldn’t mind if Sam and I sit with him. I hope I get to meet Papa Neptune someday; he sounds like a fun guy, when he’s not giving tsunamis. Plus, this would give Percy the chance to finally answer all my questions. 
“So, Sam, what do you think of the camp?” Percy asked. 
“Well, other than the fact that I’m basically a Mutant.”
“Demigod,” Percy corrected.
“Same thing; anyways, I think this place is amazing. I never went to summer camp before, but I can’t wait to try out all the activities.” Sam sighs, “I wonder if this is what my dad wanted to tell me about. How my mom is actually a goddess, how I’m different from normal people.”
“I’m sorry, Sam.” Percy apologized. “I should’ve been more careful. I didn’t think Vulture would be this relentless. Lately, monster activities have been under the radar; I don’t know why exactly she was there. But, don’t worry, I’ll deal with her and her partner when the time comes.” 
Sam nodded, “Thank you, Percy.” 
Sam is taking the whole “dead dad” thing pretty well. Makes sense, her dad’s a cop and whenever he heads out on patrol or on a case, she’d fear it would be the last night she’d see her dad. She was mentally strong for it, but that doesn’t mean she won’t grieve for him. After all, he was the only family she had.
“Anyways, now that we got that out of the way, I think it’s time you tell us how your Odyssey began.” I chuckled at her joke and agreed with Sam; Percy finally told his tales. 
How he was framed for stealing Zeus’ Lightning Bolt and ending up fighting Ares, the God of War. (Not Kratos, the ORIGINAL god of war. Let’s be real, if Percy fought Kratos, he wouldn’t last a minute.)
How he traveled the Sea of Monsters, which is really just the Bermuda Triangle, and reclaimed the Golden Fleece to save the camp. 
How he sneaked out of camp to save Annabeth from Atlas AND carry the sky for her. 
How he arrived at his own funeral after being healed from a volcano eruption that he caused because he was fighting an immortal being. (Quite… bizarre…)
How he fought a war against an immortal being that can control time.
How he arrived in New Rome and saved death (Literally) and went on a quest to fight Mama Earth. 
How he and Annabeth fell and survived Tartarus, a hell worse than hell. A Super Hell.
How he fought alongside Egyptian Sorcerers and Norse Demigods and saved the world countless times. 
Percy has… been through a lot. A LOT. Like, I’m surprised that he’s not in therapy nor gone criminally insane with immense PTSD. I mean, he literally went through SEVERAL kinds of hell, both metaphorically and literally. It really brought me a lot of respect and pity for him; and, it really explains why he’s so overprotective and caring. He wants me to live the life he never got. 
But, of all this, only one thing was certain about Percy. 
“You’re Joseph Joestar.”
“What?” Percy asked.
“Oh my god! I was gonna say the same thing, Stella!” Sam replied. “Like, Percy, you've been through about 80% of the exact same thing as Joseph Joestar.” 
Percy groaned in annoyance. “Can we not talk about anime at the moment.”
“Think about it!” Sam yelled as she listed down the comparison.
“Look, you’re a New Yorker who obtained power at a very young age. You went on a journey to fight a guy who has issues with his dad and obtained powers involving time. You encounter an Italian and befriend them. Then, one of them gave up their lives for you to continue your quest. You fought an experienced warrior and won; not with skills and powers, but just out of sheer dumb luck and tricking them.”
Percy shrugged, “Okay, but how does that relate to-”
“-AND!” Sam interrupted. “You literally arrived at your own funeral after being healed from a volcano eruption that YOU caused because you were fighting an immortal being.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Who’s Joseph Joestar?
Well first: I can’t believe you don’t know Joseph Joestar! What, have you been living under a rock? Second: Joseph Joestar is one of the main characters of the animated hit series: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. He’s basically like Percy but British, flamboyant and is just a bit smarter. Just a bit… well… it’s debatable…
Don’t believe me? Go Watch Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency and tell me, he doesn’t remind you of him. And no part jumping; It’s crucial you watch Part 1 before Part 2, no matter how boring it is. Although in my opinion, it is really good and- oh my god, I’m rambling. I’m sorry, I’m a huge Jojo Fan mostly because of the musical reference and it was one of the first anime I watched because of Sam. I’ll tone it down, for now. 
Though… if I had an editor who refused to watch it… This will be one of my methods to convince him.
“Percy,” I spoke. “You gotta admit, what you do is… kinda bizarre.”
Percy groaned in annoyance. 
“Only three things remain, Percy,” Sam started listing. “You need to either lose an arm; befriend a cybernetic german scientist or have an affair with a japanese woman.”
“None of that is happening,” Percy replied instantly.  Sam and I laughed. If you have heard of any of Percy’s tales AND watched Jojo, you’d see the resemblance. “Look, my point is, my life has been anything but normal. I’m telling you all this because I know you, Estelle. You think that this seems like fun and adventurous. But it’s not…”
“Percy, I know it isn’t. That’s why I want to be a part of it. Saving people, hunting monsters.” 
“Estelle, it’s not like Supernatural.”
I rolled my eyes; of course he knows Supernatural, one of my favorite Tv Series. I mean, who doesn’t wanna explore the country fighting monsters while listening to 80’s rock music in your ‘69 Chevy Impala? Now that’s a dream come true for me. 
“I’m not changing my mind, Percy.” 
Percy sighs.
“Fine, we’ll talk more about it later. Did you tell mom and Paul about it today?”
I nodded.
“What’d they say?”
I smirked, “Don’t cause too much trouble in camp.”
Percy is the only one in our family that seems to be VERY protective over me. Mom and dad trust me enough to make the right choice, but Percy is the only one who can’t accept the fact that I’m growing up. 
Siblings, am I right?
“How about you, Sam? You think camp is good for you?”
“Yeah,” Sam replied. “I mean, it’s not like I can go back home. Dad… gave his life for me to be here. Least I can do is give this place a shot.”
“Well don’t worry, Sam.” I said. “You’re not doing this alone. I’m with you, to the end.”
After we finished eating, Percy took us to one of the campfire sites to just relax and take a minute to reel it all in. 
I mean, last week, my only concern was how I’m gonna be prepared for my exams. Now, my best friend watched her dad get murdered by a harpy and my brother attacked by a hooded Minotaur. Just a couple of days ago, I didn’t think supernatural creatures existed; now, it turns out my brother is the son of Poseidon and most of the horses in the world are his relatives. 
My whole world was changed, forever.
“Hey, Percy?”
“Yeah?” 
“How come Piper McClean never comes to visit us? Almost everyone in that picture does, other than her and Jason.”
“...To be honest, I don’t know. She… distanced herself from camp. From all of us, especially Leo.”
“Leo?” I asked. 
“Yeah, they’re like siblings. Always had each other’s back. But ever since Jason…”
There’s that name again, Jason. 
Who was he? 
What happened to them in the past? 
“I… don’t really want to talk about it, Estelle.” Percy replied. “It’s… too painful to talk about.”
“I understand,” I said. “So, what are we going to be doing tomorrow?”
“Well,” He answered. “First, Chiron is going to introduce Sam to the camp. Just pray they don't follow the tradition.”
“And that is…?” Sam asked.
“They dump you in the camp bathroom toilet.”
“Over my dead body they will!” I yelled. “They so much put Sam anywhere near a toilet, not even Zeus will protect them from me!”
“Relax, Estelle. I’ll make sure they won’t, I promise.” Percy reassured me. “Anyways, afterwards, I’ll be teaching you both how to fight. You got lucky with Vulture and the minotaur. Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”
I smirked, “Are you gonna show us the Jackson Family secret battle technique?” 
Sam snickered because she understood the reference. 
“Ha ha,” Percy said sarcastically. “No, I’m gonna show you how to fight with a weapon. I was pretty experienced with a sword back in the days. So after the announcement, I’m taking you both to the barracks and helping you pick out your own weapons.”
“Wait, weapons?” Sam said. “As in, actual sharpened and deadly weapons that could most likely kill a person?” 
“No, they’re enchanted weapons, they can only kill monsters. They have no effect on mortals, unless you’re a demigod.” 
Isn’t my brother just the poster boy of safety?
Percy continues telling us more tales of the past and tells me more about the others. How Frank is a son of Mars and can shapeshift into animals; how Hazel is a daughter of Pluto and can summon cursed jewel stones; and how Leo is a son of Hephaestus and has a giant mechanical dragon and can burst into flames. 
Funny thing, it doesn’t shock me about Leo. Frank’s shapeshifting powers, maybe. Hazel’s curse stones? Quite unusual.
But Leo? Everytime he comes over, mom has to have a fire extinguisher ready just in case. I wasn’t sure if it’s because every time he’s around, something catches on fire or if he’s just “too hot to handle” (his words, not mine). 
Unfortunately, it was getting late so we all had to head to bed and get some rest. 
“Hey Percy?”
“Yeah, Estelle?”
“I’m sorry you had to go through so much when you were at my age.”
“It’s fine… even though I've been through hell, I gained a family from it.”
“You mean Annabeth?” I asked. 
“No, not just her. My friends, my dad, this camp… even you,” He said as he patted my head. 
I always hated when he did that.
But just this once, I’ll allow it. He’s been through enough. 
Maybe I will learn more about Percy’s life here at camp. Sam and I might see more mythological creatures and maybe go on some epic adventures. 
Who knows… This might be the best Summer we’ll ever have.
Author's Note:
Hello there! I'm sorry for the delay post. Been very busy these couple of months, work-related and family-related. But, regardless, I will do my best to keep writing at least monthly for this story and I'm committed to it. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and to help you understand Estelle and Sam, here it is:
Estelle "Stella" Blofis:
She loves music and books and is a huge fan to the TV Series, Supernatural. It was one of her reasons why she got into the Myth's and Folklores. She's kind and loyal along with a humor similar to Percy. She got into anime because of Sam and is a huge fan to Jojo's Bizarre Adventures due to the musical references. She is just as stubborn as Percy and has a big heart just like her mother. Whenever she see's anyone in need of help, she'd always lend a hand. She would recommend books or songs for Sam to read/listen to.
Samantha "Sam" Stacy:
She loves games and animes and has a huge love for history. She has a quirky personality but is hidden due to her shyness and social anxiety along with the caution her father gives her when talking to people (Mostly because she's a demigod and monsters can hide in the open). She tends to be herself when she's with the Jackson or her dad for they're the only ones who knew her best. She would also recommend animes and play videogames with Estelle every now and then for she likes having Estelle enjoy the same things she likes; as well as enjoying the things Estelle likes. In this series, she will gain confidence in herself and be more open to people.
Also, there will be Jojo references once a while but they're only minor and not really important to understand (Unless it's about Percy Jackson being an Alternate Universe Joseph Joestar). So if any Jojo fans understood the reference, awesome; if not, that's okay for I'm also giving musical references for you to try out too. My editor (Who I joked about in this chapter) has not seen the show but I tend to get him into it even though I know he never will for he keeps refusing to. We just like to have some fun here.
Finally, I still have not finish reading ToA for I'm still feeling the shock about Jason and how Jiper (#3 on my favorite ships in PJO-verse) relationship went along with Caleo (#1 ship tied with Percabeth). I will do my very best to finish the series before crucial scenes about any characters involved in ToA, Especially about Jason, Piper and Leo. These three are crucial for Estelle's development to become a hero herself. So for any fans (Or haters, I won't judge, everyone has their own opinion) of these three, please bear with me for now. Let's just say that one of them will suffer the LEAST. That is all.
