is it cheating if I ask about both den of dens and with or without you (but also, please!)
with or without you, i'll get over fine
evidently i'm never posting this and it's never going past the Outline Stage so might as well dump it all here
(ps if anyone wants to make an actual fic about this PLEASE DO!!! just credit me for the idea and the rest is all yours)
was planning to make it a ToA/TKC crossover! so it goes:
nico di angelo, feeling a strong sense of Wrongness with apollo's disappearance (he'll never call it death, gods no) and olympus's incompetence, takes matters into his own hands
hades is no help to nico because a god has never actually died before, so the greco-roman underworld is out of the picture
so that only leaves: tartarus. FAR out of hades's domain. nico does not want to go to tartarus. and so he searches for other options.
enter: meg mccaffrey (worried sick and plagued with nightmares), and rachel dare (worried sick because she's NOT plagued with nightmares; apollo's essence no longer within her)
rachel suggests they head to brooklyn after remembering the strange cesspool of non-greco-roman demigod energy she felt back when they raided nero's tower
but before that—
enter: sally, whom nico, rachel, and meg go visit when they've run out of Other Options (nico is Very Embarrassed. rachel is overcompensating. meg is just happy to eat more 7 layer dip)
sally says that percy once mentioned meeting another demigod from another pantheon—carter kane
hc that the 21st nome and rachel go to the same school (brooklyn high), so while rachel doesn't know a carter kane, she's heard of sadie
insert oddly sickening parallels to piper, meg, and lester entering a school illegally to find jason and rachel, meg, and nico entering a school illegally to find sadie
and the rest is. idk. i had nothing else planned for this
ultimately i wanted to explore the concept of lester's body rotting in tartarus but his godly essence stuck in the duat, in the same nursing home (??) sadie and carter found ra in
den of dens
ok. this one i KNOW is gonna be really fucking long so most of this will be under a readmore
what you need to know:
genres: slice of life. mystery. domestic horror. psychological horror. whateva the fuck type of horror house of leaves is....cosmic horror maybe???
the story is divided into four parts; 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. it's a mixed media project (ie chapters/comic/manuscript/animatic/podcast etc) because
a) i want to test my abilities as an artist
b) i wanna emulate the thing memories do: not everything is remembered animatedly. some memories are blurry, some are like words we've read in books, some are simply voices, fragments of everyday life
there are 5 protagonists;
kamil kara, the core of the story. teacher. patriarch of the kara - agbayani - rosas household. whether you'd like to see him as judas iscariot or as his own person is up to you.
manuel cagadas, deutaragonist. architect. black sheep of the cheung family. whether you'd like to see him as jesus of nazareth or as his own person is up to you.
liesel kara, tritagonist. kamil's bold-hearted daughter. she has her own story outside of kamil's complicated narrative in which she stars in.
ramona agbayani-kara, tetartagonist. kamil's wife and matriarch of the kara - agbayani - rosas household. surgeon, specifically in the ob/gyn department. like her daughter, she has her own story outside of kamil's narrative.
alyosha trinidad, pentagonist. liesel's best friend and kamil's top student. an angel in disguise, he serves as the initiator of many of the important events.
kamil and manuel are lovers; their messy relationship is what drives the stories forward
by the time dod begins, kamil and ramona have fallen out of love completely. liesel doesnt know jackshit about her parents' falling out because they'd rather die than let their daughter see them argue or fall apart
kamil's relationship with manuel may drive the stories forward but its kamil's (and everyone else's) love for liesel that keeps it grounded and steady. if that makes sense
liesel is so so so loved. more than she will ever know. ← keep that in mind
manuel has known of his past life ever since he was old enough to think. he doesn't retain actual memories but he does have the same otherworldly powers as the son of god did
meanwhile, kamil only discovered his past life after having his first conversation with manuel
and that's when everything fell apart
alyosha is a literal biblical/abrahamic angel btw. he took the name "alyosha" because it sounded pretty and he rebirthed himself to a family of five indebt to him
most if not all of dod would not have happened if alyosha didn't make his choices around the original jesus and judas
kamil and manuel are 42, ramona is 43, alyosha is 13 and arwen is 12 in 1979
manuel is a trans man! very important for his arc

hello! got any kane chronicles aus?
*Strolls in late with Starbucks*
Hi! Yes, yes I do. I dumped highlights from three I've developed the most under the cut :)
Julius and Ruby Both Die At Cleopatra's Needle -Basically this one's just an excuse to raise Carter and Sadie together and, uh. I decided that I wanted angst. So RIP Julius. :( -The Fausts are slightly less shitty here in that Carter and Sadie are full-blown orphans and it's much easier to feel nice about your son-in-law when he's dead and they don't have to deal with him. -. . .yeah, this isn't a nice AU. -Anyway, initial shenanigans abound (Carter and Sadie being raised together is fun as fuck, Sadie keeps dying Carter's hair via his shampoo because her friends all have violent crushes on him. He has no idea why that's why she does it and it's staying that way, these two fight about who's Muffin's favorite for Bast to mortify them later). Things are also sweet in that this is very much a You-And-I-Against-The-World thing once the magic shows up. -Amos is very angsty about this! Because the House of Life took this as a Get Out Of Kane Nonsense Free Card and were pretty harsh about him even being in England, near his niece and nephew. -(The House of Life went to the Owen Lars School of Thought, which is that you can hold back generational overpowered bullshit if you just don't tell the kids jackshit) -Anyway, Amos is plot-relevant here because he does the thing at the British Museum instead, only with exponentially more self-loathing. It's the usual godly line-up, only Osiris enters Amos and Set enters Desjardins. -See, where this gets fun is that Desjardins is given the boot as Chief Lector after this all comes out, and he basically winds up as the siblings' reluctant angry French adopted uncle live-in ally (Think, "If you didn't want to join our found family, you should've killed us when you had the chance"). Since Amos is dead, we're saying Sarah Jacobi was next in line for Chief Lector. I have no idea who was actually next after Amos since Jacobi/Menshikov clearly didn't give a fuck about legitimacy, but it's more fun this way. -The other big thing is that Sadie and Carter are much less on-board with the whole "Join the organization that tried to kill you thing", even when they're all "pretty please join us after our major fuck-up in almost causing the apocalypse". -TBH, the best fun of this AU is: A, More angst because dead parents, B, Carter and Sadie hit the ground running with their relationship, and C, Desjardins reluctantly hanging around Brooklyn House because he doesn't have anywhere else to go while Carter and Sadie try to run a whole school together. -And as always, both the Kane siblings are bi and I'm not taking arguments on this front.
Zia and Carter Meet Early -I just think it would be great to have Zia and Carter meeting because Julius is on a dig (read: Researching a way to host Osiris without his brain melting while running from the House of Life) and Zia is being taught how to melt things on purpose instead of on accident. -Then they become pen-pals and don't meet for five years and identity porn ensues. -This one is driven by both the angst--Zia dealing with being immediately torn between her one 'normal' friend turning out to be the Accidental Most and her adopted family that saved her life wanting him dead! Carter being torn between saving the world and creating a new one where he and Zia aren't constantly almost dying!--and, uh, to be frank? I think Sadie chewing him the fuck out because god, Carter, what the fuck, for the better part of TRP would be great. -This one's also an excuse for me to, uh, write more about Zia. Because I think Ra's future chosen one deserves fun prequel shit and also I wanna dig into that whole "fiercely prideful and standoffish but also will go from 0 to 100 once she decides you've got something going for you" with bonus "family trauma times two" thing.
God Reversal -I personally think that sticking Horus and Sadie together would be high comedy. I don't think it would end well, but it would be funny. -Like, yes, Isis was stuck with Sadie and Horus with Carter because they play to the right strengths and shore up the right weaknesses. Reversing things is not necessarily a good idea. -But also Horus and Sadie are just. . .god, Sadie is angry. She's a twelve-year-old girl who's never taken seriously, who dresses as loudly as possible to make the right people angry and because it's cool, and she wants her fucking father in her life. -I think that Horus's continual idea of, "Get a sword and beat up the problem until it stops moving and people listen to you," would appeal. Greatly. -Conversely, Isis and Carter is. . .okay, Carter has control issues where the people he loves are concerned. He was raised knowing that he should be able to fit his life in a suitcase, except for the people involved, okay? It was him and Dad, and now it's him and Sadie (and Zia), and the world is ending, and he can't protect everyone he loves. -Like, I should be clear: This is not a possessiveness issue, this is "Carter's actual worst nightmare is watching the people he loves run into a dangerous unknown and never coming back." This has happened to him! Repeatedly! -Isis's whole "Learn the everything about magic--especially the dark bits--and do whatever you have to for keeping the people you love in power and untouchable," thing would, again, greatly appeal. -Basically, I wanna make the Kane siblings wrestle with their demons a lot and also write King Sadie Kane and her Chief Advisor Carter Kane. For fun.

i am BEGGING you for your thoughts on percabeth's kids
i am always ready to talk about their kids
okay so i know a lot of people think they would name after people in their lives, like i’ve seen ppl name them after luke, ethan, silena, etc. i do not fuck with that. to each their own, but that hc is not for me. i DO fuck with the idea that they will steal their friends middle/last names and name their kids after that. so let’s go down the line.
- kid 1 is a daughter named grace, obviously named after thalia and jason. she’s a carbon copy of annabeth with blonde curls and gray eyes, and she’s definitely a momma’s girl. she does have percy’s sense of humor tho. they have her at age 25. i feel like when she’s young, she wants to be an architect bc she wants to be just like annabeth but when she gets older, she finds that she actually likes the insides of buildings more than the outside and she becomes an interior designer. she and annabeth are a powerful team <3
- kid 2 is another daughter named elizabeth, named after rachel. they have her at 28 and by then, there’s def no bad blood between rachel and annabeth and (even if i hate rachel) i feel like they might be decent friends by then? elizabeth (yes they call her liz or lizzie) has black curls and annabeths eyes. she’s a momma’s girl for about 2 years and then boom, percy is her favorite person in the entire world and they have the best bond. chefs kiss i love them. something about her gives me baker vibes, maybe because she’s always helping percy around in the kitchen. (and by helping, i mean she steals chocolate chips when he isn’t looking) so she grows up to own a bakery
- kid 3 is a son named kane, named after sadie and carter kane. lowkey don’t remember if they stay in touch with sadie and carter but whatever i say they do. now they have kane at age 31 or 32 and he’s lowkey unplanned. he’s got percy features to a T, but he’s a momma’s boy too. annabeth would never admit it, but he’s lowkey her fave because she’s always wanted a mini percy😭 not gonna lie, everything i’ve ever written kane into, he’s like an infant so i have no idea what he’d be when he grows up but it’s fine he has time to pick his life path
(if anyone is interested, i wrote the kids into a few chapters of my holiday prompts from december. you can find them in chapters 10, 12, 13, 17 (kinda? you’ll see), 23, and 24)
thank u for the question hehe this was so fun

"YEEEAH!!!! I don't care much for sadie x jazz and I think they would do with salt, but the important thing is the Kane family dynamic with the Egyptian royal family and honestly? It's pure gold. Carter and Anubis hiding in the corner at a party and complaining about their jobs while Sadie and Horus scare people around"
Loved this hc, and thought of thissss hope u like it.
Carter was done. As much as Anubis was now. Done with Sadie, done with Horus, done with the party they were in... He just couldn't take it anymore. But, when his sister called for him through the phone, hanging from the fucking chandelier, he knew shit was 'bout to go down.
As he felt the gentle buzzing of his phone inside the pocket of his pants, he inmediately picked up after seeing the name "Annoying thing #1" on the screen.
"Say? You okay sis?" He asked nearly yelling, the music was so loud it could've torn his ears apart. Almost an instant later, he heard his sister's muffled screams, and another voice yelling. "SaySay, the fuck? What are you doing? Hello?!" He had already hung up. Carter ran back inside to his seat in a corner with Anubis, and was met with his brother talking through the phone, with a face torn between amusement, surprise and worry.
"What do you mean Say is hanging from the chandelier?"
That was all Carter Heard before being knocked down by his girlfriend, Zia, who tried to run away from Horus, who had... His sister's panties on the head??
"Horus, what IS that shit?" Anubis asked, trying to muffle his snorts.
"Ask your sister, I have no fucking idea" He answered, running away as Sadie chases him, her brother's shirt turned upside down on her as if It were her pants. She sneaked a small glance at Anubis, but quickly left.
A few hours later, Carter got a text again, this time from "Annoying thing #2". Carter softly read it aloud for himself. "Sadie got tired, we're back at the Nome, so don't freak out, yeah?" He typed a quick answer before going to Anubis' car to head back home themselves. A rare, but sad smile was seen on his older brother's face, as he lightly hummed to the song on the radio... "Country Roads", it was called. Anubis had always enjoyed that song. He played it to Sadie when she was just a baby. Carter knew those two had always shared a special bond. That was until "the Fight". Sadie and Anubis had argued in a pretty bad way that ended up with two broken vases, a brused eye and many teary ones. He thought of saying something, but decided not to.
After they made it home, they found Horus and Sadie on the couch, passed out after the emotions of the party. Carter made his way upstairs, only to find out that his brother didn't follow him.
"You coming?" He softly asked. He knew of the fight, and didn't want to ruin the slim chances of them fixing it.
"Nah... I think I'll stay for a bit." That was all Carter needed to head upstairs after seeing Anubis plop on the couch to talk to Sadie, and fall on his bed, exhausted.
Okay, maybe he wasn't that done.

I care I are so much tell me
i have so many fankids who Suffer 😁😁😁 aurin astyanax aster why do all their names start with an a what is this roman/greek mythology
rose is the only one who doesnt suffer that much. this is because she has no siblings and also her family is normal
aurin on the other hand. so hes the son of laurance and gene but then they got divorced. even in mystreet aurin still hates laurance for some unknown reasons he just does not like the guy. hes like my play by ajr. hes such a pathetic wet cat of a man in mys absolutely terrible that buff chaotic confident mcd aurin could never happen in mys
aurin is six years older than his half-sibling aster (child of gene and vylad). aster is perfectly fine in mystreet however their mcd version got their arm consumed by The Void
speaking of mcd version. so echo. shes a silly little catgirl who has trauma like u wouldnt believe (plus shes the reason for laurgene divorce ❤). shes raised by her mother but eventually leaves to go find her half-siblings (its funny how he has two half-siblings. both of whom are with completely different people. like ok DAMN gene). hes my little silly what can i say
theres also a completely separate mys universe where my wonderful twins astyanax and vee exist (two types of trans names ig) and their older half sister katana tries to keep them from fucking Dying. also astyanax is being haunted by the mcd version of his father zenix who is trying SO hard to get him to kill people (especially gene he wants that man DEAD)
they exist in the same universe as carter and sam. yes carter named himself after a fictional character. yes that character was carter kane. yes this is because he relates to carter kane on a spiritual level hes like carter kane if he was trans and gay
these are all of my main ship children there are TOO MANY oh well 😁😁😁

thanks for the tag!! three ships (sticking to cm for this): Hotchniss (but like. in a 'I'm bi' way), Morcia ( the chemistry, and after "You're my god given solace" I can't not ship it), and Hotch/Haley (I like watching things fall apart, inevitably and avoidably all at once)
first ship: from before i even knew what shipping was: O'Neill and Carter from SG-1. I was in kindergarten and was Angry that these characters were not together. Didn't learn the word for that anger until high school. (Should I have been watching that show when I was five? Probably not. But it's a fun bit of sci-fi cheese so I still recommend it.)
last song: Villain by xUnreachablee
last movie: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (I went in with no expectations and it's actually really fun. Just....disregard everything you know about Arthurian legend. Treat it as it's own thing.)
currently reading: Underground Empire by James Mills (or at least I'm trying. I read so much at work that even this old favourite from middle school is difficult right now :(...still reading fic tho!)
currently watching: Criminal Minds, Witcher, probably gonna re-watch Sandbaggers again (highly recommend if you like watching bastard characters do bastardy things)
currently consuming: The Dread of Existing
currently craving: Blue Cheese (which I don't have bc my fav brand has disappeared from store shelves locally and only re-surfaces maybe once every three months). i'll be tagging: @ssahoodrathotchner, @arsonhotchner, aaaand anyone else who wants to do this. It's fun

who are your top 5 cm unsubs and why 👀
Tricky one. I had to think on this for a bit. Not in any particular ranked order:
Megan Kane. She's got a sense of style, and I don't know--the whole episode? Really? Who in this fandom DOESN'T have her on a list of fav unsubs?
Floyd Feylinn Ferell from "Lucky" because for fucks sake that's a fucky fucking episode. The chili
Tobias Hankel. I just think the character is interesting and the acting was solid.
Amber Canardo from "A Perfect Storm"--I love the "twist" that she was the driving force behind the murders.
Foyet. Sometimes I think he's overrated but also I like watching Hotch have a bad day (or year)
2 notes - Posted April 4, 2022
My #1 post of 2022
next question: top 5 episodes of cm, whatever that means to you (storyline, unsub, etc.)
Natural Born Killer--mostly for the "And some people grow up to catch them " and all of that which the writers just. drop. and forget.
Profiler Profiled--More eloquent people in fandom have enumerated the qualities of this Morgan-centric episode
Pleasure is My Business--one of my fav unsubs
What Fresh Hell --honestly this is just here for Gideon being a Problem and kind of Unhinged, I could just as easily have The Fox or Extreme Aggressor in this slot
Demonology--I just love Prentiss complaining that Hotch won't let her do something when he has spent 90% of the ep letting her get away with whatever the fuck she wants. It's funny.

Howdy Nova I wanted to invite you to gush bout whichever f/o is on your mind currently ✨🧡! They all love you so much!!
Tex @tex-treasures
Hello texie!!! How are you?
Well!!!! Thanks for the invitation, im gonna use this as an excuse to scream about my The Kane Chronicles f/os.
First up is Horus, ft: my face hc for him
Tumblr media
1) I love the fact that hes a dense mf, he doesnt get sarcasm and its HILARIOUS.
2) even tho hes power hungry, hes still pretty chivalrous and protective of Carter even if they butt heads from time to time.
3) the fact that he uses a pigeon host and calls them "well adapted to modern civilization" and eats the left over Cheerios from khufu
Also, the possibilities of fluff with bird like stuff like ruffled feathers and making birb noises? Cute!
Fave phrase of him " my strategy is to hit the enemy until they lay unconcious, if they get up, hit them again, repeat as Many times necessary"
(The Next pictures up to amos belong to @/feesshies)
Okay, here we go, khonsu time!
Tumblr media
I might say that all of his scenes are super funny, starting by the fact that ra calls him "moon pie" and im so close to making that my nickname for him.
1) the fact that hes got power over time, And that nut kicked his ass in setnet enough times to form 5 complete days. Its so FUCKING funny.
2)his introductory scene is fucking ominous as fuck 100/10
3) hes the rich boy aesthetic and im here for this 100%
4) that one phrase where he goes "I havent eaten a soul in...what month are we in, march?" LIKE WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
favorite phrase" "Ha! I bet you 5 more minutes worth of moonlight that im perfectly sane!" (Hes not...)
Tumblr media
Tatter tot (s)
1) his introductory scene in the first book. Marvelous.
2) the fact that he sends the kane kids to Elvis' house and is happy they thrashed the place
3) in the second book where Carter says "come on tot! Cant we do something for you? Like thrash Elvis' house again?!" And his answer is "tempting" DOES HE HAVE A HATE TOWARDS HIM LIKE???
4) hes the adhd mood. All the times he get distracted are so cute.
5) the fact that he knows a hieroglyph to give someone intestinal problems. I love him. AND HE USES THEM IN BATTLE TOO? ONLY MY MAN!
6) how casual he is about his own death, "oh yeah ill last for about two more days, oh would you look at that just in time for the winter solstice, ha! That cant be a coincidence!"
7) HIS EYEEESSSS. THE FACT THAT HE MAKES KILLER BBQ RIBS. HE PLAYS THE GUITAR AND IS WORKING ON THOUSANDS OF THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.
8) his dramatic build up. And hes the only god whose normal and deserves rights
Fave phrase: "khufu you are right! We arent in Memphis egypt!"
Okay. Buckle up. Here comes the big boys.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Set/evil day/the best comedic relief in book 2
1) he was the perfect antagonist for the first book.
2) the second book when he starts imitating amos??? Ugh!!! Just imagining him in that suit makes me blush!
3) hes so FUCKING funny and charming.
4) his exit in the first book is fingerguns shooting at sadie like a kid angy at his mom.
4) un book 3 when amos is kicking ass using his powers.
5) when he says to Carter "im gonna help your uncle learn the path of sett" I can imagine how it would sound and its so FUCKING badass. Only imagining it I get goosebumps.
6)he breaks 6 jars on menshinkovs Head and its so funny.
7) how whiny he gets when menshikov traps hom in the malachite jar.
8)" Come on amos! I just want to strip the skin off their faces" thats how the phrase goes. I cant remember. But AWOOOGA--
9) when Carter asks to him if they names setne after him and he just laughs.
10) the hc where him and khonsu are bffs. YES please.
11) my fave detail is that when sadie screams "i bet sett is having a laugh seeing Us try and not kill ourselves" and the book describes the air getting chilly and the floor rumbling as If someone was laughing way way underneath. Such a cool detail.
Fave phrase: "your uncle amos also has some of my qualities, im like that improvised jazz he likes so much. Order within chaos"
Tumblr media
AMOS!!!!!
1) hes so dramatic in the first book. Ominous.
2) the fact that Carter has a picture of him playing the saxophone. Just imagining it makes me warm and fuzzy.
3) hes so gentle and suave. Sweep me off my feet.
4) the fact that he controlls sett and its like the biggest fuck you to his past trauma.
5) the fact that he becomes a fatherly figure 🥺🥺🥺🥺
6) he uses a red pinstripe suit affirming his connection to sett. Its such a fuck you moment to those that were like "HES USING SETTS MAGIC EW KILL HIM" TRY AND MESS WITH HIM NOW BITCH.
7) hes a gentle leader and I love that.
8) his character growth.
AND LOOK HOW GOOD HE LOOKS IN THE GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE FIRST BOOK.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The foreshadowing of him being possesed by sett in the reflection of the teacup. Showing His reflection in red
How kissable he looks!!!
His fit. His suit. His gloves!!!! His hair!!!
For some reason the way the bridge of his nose is drawn it makes me want to kiss it.
The feather on his hat. Yes king
Fave phrase: I cant remember any at the top of my head!!! But he has some pretty good ones
Hes just the best honestly. Many kisses for him and the rest
They all make me feel warm and fuzzy and I love them sm!!!!!!
●Moots only ok to rb!
Thanks for the ask!!!!

so niki has two dads. so what?
if you say anything about it, she'll kick you. and if principal kane wants to meet with her fathers, then so be it.
that only happens twice - first with steve, who walks in with sunglasses high on his face, a cup of coffee in hand, and a stance that makes the shorter man in front of him admittedly uncomfortable. niki is almost gleeful as she watches her dad stare blankly at the principal, then tug his glasses down to eye him more critically. not a word is spoken, there isn't a sound outside of the gentle swishing caused by niki's feet kicking back and forth. when the silence is broken, it's by steve, voice bored and uncaring.
"what's the problem, mister kane?" principal kane looks a little intimidated by the man in front of him - as he should be, niki knows.
"uh - well, uh, you see, nikita got in another fight again with a student, and -"
his words come to a halt when steve's hand comes up to stop them, the other hand perched comfortably on his hip. his head turns to face his daughter, and while his face is deadly serious she sees the sparkle in his eye and knows she's in no trouble here.
"nikita," he drawls, "did you get into a fight today?"
"yeah," she replies, without an ounce of remorse.
"do you want to tell me why?" he pushes, and she does, so she tells him.
"joey carter said that nobody wants to be my friend because i have two dads and that's wrong." joey is full of shit, as uncle dustin likes to say. she has plenty of friends, and all her friends love her papa and her dad. because steve always makes them the best snacks and takes them on all sorts of trips and takes the time to get to know the kids. and billy lets them do his makeup and carries them around the house while they squeal in delight. their parents might have been unsure at first, but steve and billy have made friends with most of niki's friends' parents. but the carters are gross people and their son is no exception as far as the eight-year-old is concerned.
"thank you," steve hums, before turning back to principal kane. the hand he'd held up to stop his talking lowers again and he places it on his other hip. "principal kane, where is joey?"
"why, he's in class," the ruddy man replies. steve's eyebrow arches in the way it does when papa says something dumb, or when niki tries hiding something from him.
"and why is that?" he presses. "are we just allowing students to verbally harass other students now?" principal kane gulps.
"well, you know how children are -"
"i do," steve cuts in sharply. "i'm raising one. do you know how long it took me to teach her not to say fuck because it's not a nice word?" nikita stifles a giggle at the offended look that crosses her principal's face. "picked it up from her aunt," steve continues. "kids just soak these things up, you know." steve pauses to sip on his coffee, hand raising to stop the man from speaking, and then he continues. "joey's parents are bigots, i know that very well, and i'm not surprised joey's picked up on it. but if nikita here said fuck in class, you'd reprimand her for foul language, yes?" he peers through his sunglasses while principal kane nods vigorously.
"of course we would." steve nods his approval.
"i take comfort in that." the glasses come off after that, and steve leans forward to meet the shorter man's gaze. "now, if one of your students says hateful comments towards another, would you do the same thing, mister kane?" niki grins at the way her principal shifts uncomfortably.
"I - I suppose, yes," he stammers.
"you suppose," steve repeats, mean and critical. "well, in that case, if you suppose, i suggest you get to calling the carters. nikita and i are going to leave you to it." principal kane tries speaking up, but steve's already got his sunglasses back on and he holds his hand out to the smaller brunette in the room. "let's go, honey. say goodbye to principal kane." nikita hops off the chair and waves a cheery goodbye before happily walking out with her hand in her dad's.
later that night, he's reading her a story and she snuggles against his side, enjoying the gentle brush of his fingers through her curly hair, and she can't help herself.
"hey, dad?" steve stops reading, sets the book down to look down at her.
"yes, baby?" and now nikita huffs, because she doesn't know what she wants to ask. they've talked about this before, both about gender and sex, and sexuality. she knows some people think something's wrong with her dads, but she doesn't hear it often. it shakes her a little when she does.
"why are people so mean?" she settles on. steve's face falters a little.
because there's no easy answer to that, is there? he and billy have been raising her for eight years, they've been together for five of those years and have only been open about it for three. they've been talking about getting married, about having one more kid together, about moving and settling somewhere new, but he knows no matter where they go or what they do there are always going to be instances like this, people like the carters and this kane asshole. and as much as he aches to protect his baby from that, he can't.
so he and billy have taught her the importance of kindness and understanding and respect. and at just eight, she has such an understanding of those concepts. she's absolutely brilliant, and beautiful, and more precious than steve will ever be able to put into words. he studies the face that peers up at him, brushes her bangs from her face, and holds her close so he can rest his chin on her head with a sigh.
"well, kita, sometimes people are scared," he tries. "remember when papa gave you seaweed that one time we went to california?" he doesn't have to be looking to know her entire face scrunches up in disgust.
"yeah, but that was gross," she points out, making the same face steve makes when he eats something he doesn't like, trying to get the taste off her tongue. steve laughs softly.
"to you and me, yeah, but not to papa. he grew up out there so he was already used to it, but for you and me it's scary. green stuff from the sea? icky, right?" nikita nods against his chest. "well, some people haven't seen gay people before, not like papa and i and our kid living like other families. and that's new and scary. and sometimes, when people get scared, they act a certain way." steve tries thinking for another example. "like when papa brought that beetle inside and scared me, remember that?"
nikita will never forget the way her dad scrambled over the couch trying to escape the bug. she'd laughed until the beetle took flight because that really was scary. the pair had screamed around the house and steve had absolutely refused all of billy's apologies the rest of the night, huffing and pouting while nikita giggled at the sight.
"you hit him," she recalls. it hadn't been hard, just a couple of swats on the shoulder while scolding the blonde man. steve nods.
"yeah, which was mean," he agrees. "but sometimes, people get mean when they're scared. obviously, something like having two dads or liking another guy or gal isn't the same as bringing in a beetle, it's much bigger than that. and when people get mean about the bigger things, it's more than just a little hit on the shoulder."
she gets that too, as much as she doesn't like it.
nikita sighs and wraps her little arms tight around steve's waist.
"i don't want people to be mean to you," she decides, and steve knows she loves him, of course he knows, but it warms his heart to hear a reminder of it.
"i know," he sighs. "but we can't make other people be kind. we can only be kind ourselves, yeah?" the girl nods and smiles up at her father.
"you're the most kindest" she announces, and then niki rests her head against his chest again. he doesn't start reading right away, but his voice sounds a little wobbly to her when he does.
the second time principal kane has to meet with one of her dads, it's over a father's day event in class and professor kane specifically requests billy instead of steve. he shows up a little greasy from work, looks from the principal to a mother and her son, to his teary-eyed little girl, and knows there's about to be trouble.
nikita doesn't know if it's hurt tears or angry tears, but misses hartwell's words sting and she can't get them out of her head. her son jeremy's words had hurt even more, and so a now ten-year-old nikita had punched him right in the face.
"something has to be done, mister hargrove," the principal says. amy hartwell scoffs.
"something indeed. we'll be pressing charges, that's what will be done." billy fixes her with a glare.
"you're gonna press charges against a kid?" he questions incredulously. "i know my girl, she doesn't do that unless he messed up big time."
"my son would never do any -" the woman begins, but nikita has no time for this. she doesn't want to sit here and listen to them act like jeremy is innocent.
"he said i can't bring my dad to school because i don't have one!" she snaps, and billy almost snaps too.
"well, it's true!" jeremy shoots back from the safety of his mother's side. "tell her, mom." now amy looks usure, and principal kane shifts uncomfortably as billy's cold glare flashes to the woman.
"yeah, tell her," he repeats, low and threatening. "better yet, tell me." amy shifts her weight and steps back.
"well, everyone in town knows her mother got pregnant in some indianapolis bar," she has the audacity to say. "the girl's never met her real father." nikita opens her mouth ready to protest and hurl insults, but billy speaks first.
"nikita doesn't have a mother," he growls. "her father gave birth to her, and i raised her. we're her dads, and she can have either of us at this little party, got it?"
"it's not healthy to feed her lies like that," amy argues, "you're poisoning her mind, it's dangerous -"
"- no," niki's dad cuts in. "what's dangerous is saying all of that within three feet of me. what's fucking dangerous is teaching your kid how to be as fucking disgusting as you."
"mister hargrove!" principal kane cuts in sharply. "i will not have you threatening misses hartwell like that!" billy turns on the man with an aggression nikita has never seen from her pa, a wild gleam in his glare and his lips set in a snarl. the principal shrinks back.
"what a time to grow a spine," he bites. "you've let her walk all over my boyfriend and i, i'll say whatever the hell i want." principal kane looks a little scared, backs down pretty quickly. but billy is on a roll. "i know how this works. you think steve and i don't know what assholes like you say behind our backs? huh? well, we do. and it's fucking ridiculous. steve has more balls than you-" an accusatory finger gets thrown in principal kane's face - "and more class than anyone in this stupid hick town is capable of. and you know what? i get it, we can't stop you from being ignorant dicks. but what i can do, and what i will do, is step in when someone brings this shit to my little girl. do you get that?" billy's yelling stops and both adults look at him wide-eyed with shock. jeremy looks scared, and niki thinks he should be. with a decisive nod, billy ends the conversation, he scoops niki up after that and she can feel him shaking as she hides in the safety of the crook of his neck. "you wanna sue us? sue us. we'll return the goddamn favor, trust me." and he stomps out to his car and just stands out there for a little while, clinging to nikita until she stops sniffling.
they don't really talk on the way home, and when they both enter the house steve looks a little confused.
"aren't you both supposed to be places?" he asks, but the little tease in his expression fades into worry as he gets a better look at them. billy leans in and kisses niki's forehead chaste and soft.
"go get changed," he mutters, which she knows is actually code for when he doesn't want her listening to their conversation. she obliges and disappears up the stairs she's known her whole life, right up to her room where she gets more comfortable clothes. she hears steve yell, "she what?" at some point, but mostly the pair are quiet. when nikita does tiptoe down the stairs eventually, they're in the kitchen, her papa's face buried against her dad's neck while they whisper to each other. it looks like billy's shaking again, but she can't tell.
steve catches her after a minute and kisses the top of billy's head before calling her over and holding her tight. "i'm sorry you had to deal with that stuff today," he offers, mumbled partially into her her hair. she remembers the things he said about mean people and clutches onto him a little tighter.
that night, aunt max and uncle dustin come by for dinner and take her out for ice cream, and when she comes home steve gives her a bubble bath with extra bubbles. she doesn't love letting him bathe her all the time, but sometimes it's fun, especially when he does extra bubbles. he finishes and dries her off and takes his time with her hair, and before long she's just about ready for bed.
her parents work her through the nightly routine, and they tuck her in to bed together like they do every night one of them isn't working late. but after steve plants his pattern of kisses on her face and leaves, billy stays. he sits on the edge of her bed and looks a little unsure, which is strange because as far as niki knows, he always knows what to do.
"honey," he starts. "you know what they said today isn't true, right?" nikita nods easily.
"yeah. dad's my dad and you're my pops." nikita knows, to some degree, how she came to be. she knows steve didn't have her with billy like that. but never once has she ever had to doubt her family, and no one's dared do it to her face. not before today.
"okay, good." billy nods, reaching a hand out and rubbing her shoulder. "people like misses hartwell and her kid, they don't - they don't get it. and i'm so sorry that you had to hear it, and that you had to hear me yell like that."
"and say all those words dad tells you not to?" she adds quietly. billy breathes out a laugh.
"and hear me say all those words dad tells me not to say," he agrees. it gets a laugh out of nikita, much to billy's relief, and he leans forward to hold her by both her shoulders now. "i'm serious, babycakes. i don't care what people like that say. you're my baby, you hear me? always mine."
"always yours," she echoes, leaning forward and throwing her arms around him in a hug. billy plants as many kisses as he can manage on her head and face, before laying her back down and adjusting her covers.
"i love you, green bean," he tells her, and she murmurs in kind before watching him move to the door. he pauses when he gets there, then turns to her sheepishly.
"hey, about the bad words," he hums. "i won't say anything about it to dad if you won't. deal?" nikita makes a thoughtful face.
"can i have ice cream and a kitten?" he snorts at that.
"you have several kittens, baby. but ice cream is doable."
and when amy hartwell knocks on the door the next afternoon talking about billy's offensive language, he only gets a claim of innocence from his boyfriend and a confused look from his daughter who doesn't recall a single bad word from the meeting. steve looks back at the woman and misses the grin nikita shares with billy as she chomps on a bite of ice cream.

opinions on riordanverse ; my edition
a lot of people have been doing this so i decided why not right. probably gna lose some followers or smth but anyways. pls respect my opinions! if u disagree, thats fine, but please be polite. unless any of my opinions strikes u as morally wrong then pls point it out to me respectfully. thanks!
- i actually liked drew. im so sorry to everyone who hates her but full offence, why. think about it this way ok, first of all drew became hc because silena died. silena was the traitor, the one who betrayed chb, yet after she died campers celebrated her as a hero? and then drew suddenly has to replace her and live up to idk that legacy she left behind,, when all of a sudden this girl named piper swoops in and takes her place. idk abt u but i wld be salty abt that too. not only that, but as an asian, the chances of drew having faced racism/bullying as a child is pretty high (she studies at brooklyn academy). which means that when she finds out shes a demigod, and arrives at chb where most of the campers are white (this is an assumption btw), she’d obviously be scared of being bullied for her skin color right?? so the first thing she wld do before the campers get to bully her is to bully them before they can do so. (sentence structure here is wack i apologize) ofc this might not even have happened, drew could have had a perfect childhood && was a b1tch for no reason, BUT EVEN THEN HER ROLE AS A BULLY WAS PRETTY VITAL BECAUSE THAT FURTHER SHOWED THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HER AND PIPER,, HIGHLIGHTING PIPER AS A HERO//GOOD CHARACTER,, AND THEREFORE MAKING READERS LIKE PIPER MORE. anyway stop hating on drew please. ALSO WHY IS THIS SO LONGA SDFJHG
- jason isnt bland, the fandom just kinda erased his backstory (thanks to @pjohoo-memes for the phrasing lol)
- reynabeth wouldnt have lasted/would have broken up several times. idk i just see them as two extremely powerful characters who have firm opinions and will definitely clash at some point. in a platonic relationship,, i can see them as really good friends but as lovers? idk i just think theyll break up
- PIPABETH
- i dont really like jercy,, i see them as better friends than lovers. also idt jason and percy were that close..?
- the dam and not my type jokes are srsly cringey and were never funny. ik that seems hypocritical since my username literally makes use of the dam joke but honestly i dont actually like the joke. its not funny to me and has never been funny
- the seven were not best friends. they definitely argued,, and honestly probably werent as close as the fandom makes them seem. like ure dumped with 6 other people, out of which u only know a few. my introverted ass would have jumped off the argo 2 quicker than leo valdez could bomb camp jupiter up. also leo was a dick to frank. so what if frank is bigger sized?? thats not a valid reason to tease him
- the fandom needs to stop hating on octavian while worshipping luke. if u hate luke and u say u hate octavian too, then okay. but if u tell me ure a luke stan but u despise octavian?? imma disagree w u. luke was worse than octavian im sorry. first of all, octavian being a dick was kinda justified. hes been after the praetor position for so long, and everyone keeps saying to “wait for jason” when suddenly this dude, whos a son of NEPTUNE (neptune wasnt liked much by romans), and the camp decides to make him praetor?? dude i would be pissed off big time. and then afterwards, he finds out that greek demigods are real and the dude they made praetor is greek. AND THEN GREEK DEMIGODS COME TO CJ AND ONE OF THEM BOMB IT UP?? octavian has been told all his life that greeks are scum and this dude called leo valdez attacks cj. sure it was an accident, but did octavian know that? no. so it was honestly justified that he was such a salty prick im just saying. also some of yall be hating on octavian for cutting a teddy bear open and thats the funniest shit ive ever heard i swear 
- luke didnt go to elysium
- travis and connor stoll r way too underrated. the two have been head counselors of the hermes cabin since luke was revealed as a traitor, can u imagine the stress? luke, the person they probably looked up to as a brother, betrayed them. and they didnt even have time to process this when they were  thrown the roles of being hcs. that would have been so stressful and i would probably have broken down if i were them. the stoll brothers taking turns to wake up at ungodly hours because a new camper is crying and homesick and terrified, the stoll brothers having to comfort and take care of new campers, having to deal with the amount of people in that cramped space because not enough campers are being claimed fast enough. having to resolve issues between campers in the hermes cabin all the time. the stolls arent just comedic relief, and we need to stop treating them as such
- tratie shldve been canon idc idc
- demigods of the demeter cabin arent talked about enough and i love the fact that meg was demeters kid. like she isnt the child of one of the big three yet shes so powerful.
- we need to hype clarisse up more her character arc was phucking amazing 
- rachel is overhated. sis found out greek gods exist and regularly come down to earth to fuck around and went “ok cool”. queen shit behavior methinks
- the floor 19 crew of mcga is srsly underrated. like do u even remember halfborn gunderson, mallory keen, tj, etc??? bc i feel like we only remember samirah, magnus, alex, and sometimes blitz and hearthstone
- sadie (tkc) was kinda annoying at first. i like her more now tho but i rmb not liking her for a phat while
- tkc and mcga need more love
- carter kane and jason grace arent boring. theyre just really sweet boys who are too good for this world and yes yes yes 
- hazel and frank (especially frank) need to be hyped up more. i hardly ever see anything about them. also yall seem to forget that frank was literally made praetor and that even hecate admired hazel and was willing to fight beside her because of how powerful she was
- frazels age gap is kinda sketch but i still think theyre really cute
- nico definitely had trauma from going to tartarus on his own
- GROVER IS PERCYS BEST FRIEND
- annabeth isnt smarter than leo but neither is leo smarter than annabeth. ive seen a lot of discussions about who is smarter and heres my hot take on it: neither. theyre equally smart, just in different ways. leos a genius mathematically speaking. he has no issues solving math problems meant for people much, much older than him. annabeth on the otherhand, is great at strategies etc. she can make an army of 1000 more powerful than the enemy, even if theyre outnumbered. so in my opinion, both are equally as smart//u cant compare their intelligence, because their talents lie in two different areas.
- while i do agree rick riordan isnt a god and that hes bound to make mistakes,, AND that hes given us a lot of representation,, if the representation offends the people its sposed to represent, then theres a problem. im talking about piper as a poc and wearing feathers in her hair. im not a poc, so i cant speak for them on whether or not its wrong, because i dont know either. HOWEVER, i have seen multiple posts BY pocs talking about how they didnt really like rick’s representation of piper, and thats an issue. pocs have been and are still oppressed and discriminated against by many. as a white cis man, we cant really blame him for not knowing (tho he could have done a research,, asked some pocs,, idk), but by representing pocs in that manner, hes influencing impressionable kids/teens into thinking “oh pocs wear feathers in their hair all the time” etc, which isnt true. the pjo/hoo series is extremely successful, and kids who read the books will probably start forming inaccurate opinions on pocs. the amount of fan art that depicts piper with feathers in her hair dont help either. “but rick said so in the books, so its canon” yeah well rick isnt a god and he can get some things wrong at times. im not saying we should cancel him, im saying we should start educating ourselves and not spread false info like pocs wearing feathers in their hair all the time. also that snake song shit where she sang Summertime was just- yeah. bc heres the thing you can be racist, and still include minorities, but portray them in a racist way. And even then, ignorance isn't a thing to admire. Getting those facts wrong still has a major impact. It continues to perpetuate racist stereotypes.
“ With the feather thing, I looked it up myself; it takes less than five minutes to figure out that Cherokees don't braid feathers into their hair. I didn't grow up in the country where my parents are from. I have many other first/second generation American friends who have also been through that, with a bit of a disconnect from their culture. But something that most of us have in common is that when we didn't know something, and when our parents weren't that big of a help, we looked it up. We sought out resources online and through other people from our culture to be able to connect more with where we came from. Some of that took a Google search. So I find it hard to believe that Piper, a girl who Rick's trying to portray as someone who is attempting to connect with her culture and is totally against racist stereotypes, wouldn't know that eagle feathers aren't supposed to be braided into your hair casually. She may be disconnected from her culture, but she's also shown to want to connect back to it. Piper wouldn't be casually braiding feathers into her hair while also telling off people for being racist. It makes no sense.” - reddit thread (down below) 
for those of yall who wanna know more please please read this, it has a lot of things i wanna add in here : https://www.reddit.com/r/camphalfblood/comments/gy3gl2/piper_mcleans_portrayal_is_innacurate/ 
as well as https://finding-my-culture.tumblr.com/post/189422373260/maxie-ratties-and-cattie-finding-my-culture 
i will be posting screenshots of these in future posts so if ure viewing this on ig and u dont have tumblr,, dont worry 
- the fact that most of the strong female characters in the series refuse to be “girly”, and ngl i dont really like that. just because ure girly doesnt mean u cant be strong. 
- piper would have been a great way for him to start making the strong characters act girlier, but instead he went with the “I’m not like other girls” trope which is quite obnoxious to hear constantly, and I don’t think it’s necessarily great for younger girls to read that idea growing up.  the closest we've ever had to a strong female character who was also into "girly" things was Silena. when I was younger I admired Piper's "I'm not like other girls" thing, but then I got older and realized that the whole mentality of "not like other girls" is super obnoxious, and a little bit toxic
i have a heck load more that i cant rmb rn but yeah feel free to add more

Sadie Kane Headcanons
IT’S SADIE KANE’S BIRTHDAY (edit: at least it was when I wrote this)!!! I absolutely ADORE her as a character and there needs to be more Sadie content so here’s some 😌. SPOILER FREE COZ I DON’T REMEMBER MUCH 
She’s bisexual. She never really had a deep realization moment, she just one day looked at Jaz and went ‘I would kill to date her’. She comes out to Carter and Zia when she makes a random bi joke and till this day she regrets it because Carter brings it up any chance he gets
She needs constant ‘me time’. As much of an extrovert she is, it drains her a lot. During these times, she just goes to her room, plays some music, and reads the book Carter gave for her birthday (I can’t remember what it is 😫 I told y’all I have a bad memory)
She and Carter hang out together a lot. To make up for lost sibling time, they just go out and stroll though thee city. They talk about anything and everything but mostly how it was before all the magic and the crazy began. Sadie tells him about life with their grandparents while Carter recounts life with their dad. Sometimes they hope into the Underworld and have some family bonding time with Julius and Ruby.
She used to go to ballet classes when she was around 6 or 7. She knows some of the basic dance moves and compositions. When she gets stressed she practices a little. And also because of this she always stands extra straight (even though she isn’t 😏)
I KNOW @cleofromrio ALREADY SAID THIS BUT! Sadie’s middle name is Ruby and I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. A) Because it jus fits, B) Coz Ruby is her mom’s name, C) Her initials become SRK and I think that’s hilarious, D) ✨this is a headcanon so I can do whatever the fuck I want✨
She is the absolute BEST with the ankle-biters. She plays dress up with them, she helps them make dolls out of shabathi clay, she reads them stories, and she is just brilliant with them. Usually though, she and the ankle-biters have movie marathons. They start in the evening and watch all through the rest of the day only to fall asleep. 
Sadie is a UNO queen. Liz, Emma and her used to play a LOT of UNO when they used to hang out. Sadie beats them at every round. Very rarely Emma beats them, but Liz always looses. Then she passes her skills onto some of her favorite ankle-biters. Then Carter gets a hold of a pack of UNO Flip and they play a round where Sadie looses. She’s completely shocked and angry and huffy for the rest of the day. Carter can’t stop laughing his ass of.
Her, Carter, Annabeth and Percy constantly meet up. They go to the skate park a lot where Percy skateboards and teaches Sadie how to do so. Annabeth and Carter sit on the side writing or reading. Sometimes Magnus and Alex join them sometimes they don’t. (crossover just ✨ because✨)
Sadie meets Rachel and the best chaotic duo is formed. The both of them absolutely love pranking Carter and Percy. Sometimes they even get Annabeth to join them. Once, the accidentally pranked Zia and all hell broke loose for the next 2hrs as Zia tried to kill them. 
She breaks up with Walt/Anubis after 6 months of dating them/him. After that she stays single for a year or so and then she dates Jaz. And the rest is history. 
Thank yew that is all. WAIT NO! I love Sadie Kane. Now THAT is all.

Hi! I went scrolling though your tumblr and stumbled upon one of your previous asks where you mentioned a carter-and-sadie-get-thrown-back-in-time au. I’d love to hear more of that!
Oh hell yeah let's do this. Mind, this AU is The Absolute Most at all times.
-Okay, so, first off, extremely obvious place for this to happen is at the end of The Serpent's Shadow, when they fail to banish Apophis for whatever reason during the final battle. This is a fun place, sure, but I think it's A, better for character development, and B, funnier, if they both bite it while in the Land of Demons with Zia and Setne. Let's say they both wind up in the Sea of Chaos, win the lottery spin of various universal outcomes, and boom. Time travel.
-This is totally how magic works. Uh-huh.
-Carter has a fucking aneurysm That's Not How The Force Works-style over this, trying to figure out what the fuck happened. It's great.
-Seriously, the PJO time travel thing is fun because Percy angsts and things go wrong and he tries to do everything Alone. The Kane Chronicles one is fun because Carter and Sadie have negative respect for authority, neither of them have any issue with throwing someone through a window to save time, and they both know about a dozen different ways to get it done.
-Oh yeah, speaking of throwing! They both wake up with massive headaches right after Julius explodes the Rosetta Stone. Carter stabs a bitch (Set) with a magic sword, then passes out because ~head trauma~.
-Also, bear in mind that these kids are fourteen and twelve and the House of Life just went to six years' worth of trouble to try and keep them as much out of the know as possible. And then they show up, kicking ass and taking godly names and knowing things that they really shouldn't, like they've been at this for years.
-Desjardins needs a drink. Or possibly six.
-Something something butterfly effect something something chaos. Anyway, things here are largely Their Past But Two Inches To The Right. Sometimes things change that are small but explainable, things that are big and inexplicable, and some are medium-sized and only resolved after an offhand comment from Zia a decade from now. The biggest thing here is Carter and Sadie struggling to manage everything.
-See, the fun thing in TKC is a lot of the big decisions? You can't just speedrun that shit! Re-opening the path of the gods is dangerous and takes time. Zia won't be in a spot where she's willing and/or able to take on Ra for years. Sadie can't just walk up to Walt and say that he should just merge with a god to fix all his problems when he's barely come to terms with Tut's curse.
-Fuck, they can't even go to the Duat and start shit with Apophis because. . .well, first off, they need to go and get the shadow, which they didn't even quite manage last time, because Setne and Land of the fucking Demons. Second off, no matter how powerful they are, starting shit with Apophis with an extra plan or two is pretty suicidal. Also! There are a lot of magicians who want to kill them! They need to be careful!
-Half of the gods are extremely freaked because Carter and Sadie's minds are Not Right and getting Horus and Isis to play ball is a chore, since they need that agreement do things like the combat avatar or casting really complicated spells, even if they have two-ish years of experience under their belts.
-This does not, to be clear, stop them from trying to speedrun The Red Pyramid, or this being their exact attitude towards their resident gods-in-the-head:
Tumblr media
[Picture ID: GIF of a Black man pointing two fingers at his eyes, staring at someone off-screen with a serious expression, and saying, "Look at me. . .look at me. I'm the captain now." End ID]
-Since. . .well, uh, look. Carter and Sadie are incredibly hyper-competent. But they're also incredibly freaked teenagers who haven't had serious adult supervision in. . .a while. They also the ability to warp reality, and have the respective jobs of: Future king of the universe and his sister, saving the world from the snake who wants to eat the sun, and re-opening an really dangerous path of magic that the Reigning Magic Organization has said they'll kill for doing.
-Also, all their friends no longer have a fucking clue who they are. Carter already did this song and dance with Zia, too, which is. . .huh. Fascinating neuroses forming there.
-The Kane siblings are very fun here, because Sadie is Very Loudly Not Fine about very mundane changes, but not saying a peep about the things that are actually fucking her up until someone taps her on the shoulder at the wrong moment when she's gone vacant-eyed at the sight of her gran and she flinches like she got punched in the jaw, while Carter is Insistently Just Fine until Jaz says hi to him one morning and he starts sobbing.
-Bast doesn't count as supervision either, because she's a cat god. Bast wants to shake them by the scruffs of their neck until they start acting their own ages or she gets a satisfactory explanation for what's taken residence in their heads. Their magical auras are wrong.
-About the only fun part of dealing with the gods is when Sadie sucker-punches Serqet and goes What, Like It's Hard?, Legally Blonde-style, to a very confused and unnerved Zia. This move is not something she can make a pattern of, to be clear. But it feels good and she can do it now, so she does.
-I have no idea if Amos is definitely still possessed here by Set, for the angsty comedy of Carter and Sadie repeatedly knocking him out and dragging him around until they have time to Deal With That, or if it's ambiguous and possibly actually in someone else? And they have to go Holmes and Watson on the case.
(Of course, they may have different gods themselves altogether, and goddammit, I need to stop coming up with AUs)
-Like, yeah, sure, they know Set is the problem, their dad is probably fine, but they have to explain this in such a way that people don't think they're possessed! This is a very valid concern and leads to worries that they're terrorizing their younger selves by stealing their bodies or something.
(they're not. but it's a Recurring Thing that people think that they've possessed Younger Carter And Sadie)
-Anyway, they still get dragged to the First Nome, because Julius broke half a dozen rules of magician-ing, these kids are acting. . .like they've been possessed by Horus and Isis, to be honest.
-Carter tries to warn Zia about the being-possesed-by-a-god thing before Iskandar tries to save her life and inadvertently consign her to Watery Nightmare Coma Hell, to convince her to come with them, and thinking honesty may be the best policy--Zia's pretty morally upright, and more than trustworthy and willing to trust the Kanes, after all.
-This does not go as Carter planned.
-Sadie, remembering Iskandar fucking dies and not wanting to deal with the complicated and short reign of Desjardins as Chief Lector (or the whole guilt thing about him dying and just. . .complicated. Inconvenient. Just make sure it never happens!) by giving him a boost in the health department and extending his life.
-This does not go as Sadie planned.
-Oh, and neither of them know how to convince Nephthys to play ball since neither of them know Set's name, so even though they know how to defeat him, short out of an out-and-out brawl that there's no guarantee they can win, they need to get that! And Anubis is super suspicious and not into getting bullied by Isis into giving them a Feather of Truth!
-On the bright side, they decide to pull the Carter Will One Day Be Pharaoh Card and convince Sobek to be, like, marginally useful as the pharaoh's enforcer after Sadie dropkicked Serqet into next week.
-Meanwhile, Iskandar is alive, but reluctantly all They Should Probably Be Brought In And Restrained At Minimum. Zia is contemplative and ends up pursuing Carter and Sadie on her own after her powers start going sideways and Iskandar nearly does knock her out.
-So now Zia's a fugitive. Sort of. Iskandar really doesn't want to do it, but Desjardins is doing the Godlings Must Die thing, and a lot of the First Nome is on his side.
(He lightens up after the Kane siblings + Zia manage to save the world and certain things about Sadie and Iskandar's health come to life. Marginally)
-Anyway, things are chaotic, sort of working out for the better, but Carter and Sadie are about fifteen times more traumatized than they were last time.
-Also, Jaz is canonically from Nashville, so I say that when they decide to drop by Thoth's place to try and get an idea of What The Fuck happened, they find her and she joins their ridiculous quest to Save The World: Electric Boogaloo, because Highly Enthusiastic Southern Cheerleader Who Just Found Out She Can Commit Arson With Her Mind is a brilliant person to have along.
-I think the last big thing I have from this, beyond everything going so sideways (The House of Life is, like, ninety percent sure that Carter and Sadie are possessed, but can't do much about it at the moment beyond periodically trying to kill them) is the whole power thing.
-The urge to basically blast their way through everyone until they agree with what's up is strong, guys. Also, the urge to drag Setne out of the Underworld just to beat him up for a bit. Lots of power struggles and reminding themselves not to commit too many war crimes in the face of an oncoming apocalypse where they have no idea what their best plan is, and also, half the people they could trust off the bat this time? Don't trust 'em this time.
-Oh yeah, and for a while, Amos and Julius/Osiris aren't unconvinced that this isn't some sort of power play by Horus and Isis to leverage things in their favor, so. . .. Sad times. :(
-I am a big fan of "Time travel doesn't necessarily fix everything", but this trilogy is just so fucking chaotic, and so many of the biggest parts rely on character growth, and you can't force that! No matter how much you may get frustrated and want to, if you're Sadie and/or Carter.

So I've been rereading Rick Riordans Kane Chronicles and honestly?
Its so much more deserving of a Television Adaptation than Percy Jackson.
Now, let me clarify:
This does not mean that I don't want a Percy Jackson TV adaptation. By all means I 1000% believe we should get a TV show.
And while part of this could be the sheer amount of Nostalgia and Seratonin I've been getting while reading these books
I do believe the series has more opportunity and reason to warrant a TV adaptation. (I'm gonna try to limit it to a bullet point review and then try to do a minor summary
Main characters are mixed race siblings and deal with real mixed race issues
Subtle/Straightforward refferences to issues involving race
Large assortment of characters from different backgrounds.
Just as fantastical/magical as PJ, HOO, TOA and MC
Uncle Amos being the absolute GOAT
Arguably the most variatized assortment of gods (I raise your UPS Hermese and Hawaiian Dad Posiedon for a Cracked out Science professor Thoth and a Set who's who's more devilish than Loki)
Apophis who is, no offense to Loki/Kronos, WAY COOLER and WAY MORE intimidating
They can get away with casting Cole Sprouse as Anubis because he already looks like an immortal 16 year old and is in fact gorgeous
Id also like to clarify I'm not trying to invalidate anything Percy has accomplished.
Percy and the other demigods all fought battles they did fight Armageddon twice (Gaia and Kronos) and they had gone through plenty of struggles. But keep in mind this is spread out across the span of 5-7 years.
Carter and Sadie had to battle Armageddon and the embodiment of Chaos itself 3 times (a threat equal to if not greater than Kronos/Gaia)
Like oh Luke stole the Lightning Bolt and Ares/Hades were ready to decimate Percy or Kronos and Gaia wanted to destroy the Gods and Olympus.
Set almost destroyed all of North America in the span of a week.
An army of revenge seeking wizards constantly trying to kill Carter and Sadie WHILE they tried to save the world.
The few gods who are ACTUALLY helping them are very spotty (say for Bast who is occasionally indisposed) while almost every other God/Goddess is trying to litterally eradicate them (not just 2 gods and a few monsters)
Kronos and Gaia wanted to maybe reboot the Earth or just destroy the Gods/Olympus and cause some mild chaos while disturbing the Gods themselves.
Apophis regular fucked up Gods and humans alike, wipe out dozens if not thousands of magicians, made allies betray each other without hesitation, and wanted to eat the sun and plunge the entire planet into infinite darkness and chaos, a being whose solel to make existenceis to make the lives of every sentient creature absolute hell.
This next comment may seem a tad controversial, but ima say it anway.
Percy Jackson has been driven into the ground and they need to give way for something else.
I love Percy Jackson I do I cannot stress this enough.
But I genuinely believe due in part to the films, and partly because Rick can seem to let Percy rest for more than a few months, Percy just doesn't doesn't that same mark for me that it used to.
Percy was and still is a phenomenal book series for what it has inspired and is still inspiring today. But Rick has gone so far to keep pushing Percy as both a character and an idea into every series he writes nowadays.
Kane Chronicles was the first spinoff series to be released after PJO and I feel it was what paved the way for all his other books.
Each chapter told from a different character? Kane Chronicles.
Introduction of other Gods/cultures? Kane Chronicles.
Actual relatable teenagers? Who you can see very well are scared and trying their best? And have very visible signs of PTSD and have suffered more trauma in 9 months than one could imagine? Kane Chronicles.
If you told me I could pick which series was given the ideal TV adaptation treatment with no limitations? I'm gonna pick Kane Chronicles. Maybe some of this is biased but hey we all have biases.

Hey, hope you feel better!
Maybe Frank Zhang and Carter Kane hanging out? If you’re not familiar with the Kane Chronicles then maybe Frank and Nico! Thanks!
Nice di Angelo had seen many impossible things in his short life, things that most people would deem simply could never occur. He knew, of course, that the world was far more mystical than one might think, but even he had a list of things that he, too considered unable to happen.
That list would be one item shorter after today.
He hadn’t meant to stumble out in this corner of Central Park. He’d been aiming for the side closer to Midtown, so he’d have a shorter walk to get to the Empire State Building. In hindsight, something must’ve wanted him to see this. The Fates were “funny” like that.
He recognized Carter Kane and Frank Zhang immediately. What his mind was still trying to catch up with was that the two powerful teenagers were sitting next to each other, a box of doughnuts between them that sat momentarily forgotten as they stared at him in shock.
“This... this shouldn’t be happening,” Nico finally muttered as he stumbled forward, deciding it’d be easiest to just sit in the cool grass under their feet. “Donut?” He tipped his head forward and waited for his momentary nausea to recede as he held his hand out patiently. He really need to stop doing cross-country jumps.
Frank silently placed a pastry in his hand, and Nico wolfed it down, savoring the rush of sugar that flooded his senses before he looked back up at the impossible pair. “What. The fuck.”
Carter and Frank shared a glance before the former shrugged. “I’m pretty sure you’re the one dating his sister, so...”
Nico stared at Frank incredulously. “You told him about that?!”
Frank at least had the decency to look slightly sheepish. “We have regular venting sessions about our latest hey-the-world-didn’t-end! stories,” he explained. “It’s pretty helpful, maybe you should try it, too.”
Nico groaned and ran a hand over his face. “I managed to keep my knowledge of separate worlds a secret for years, and here you two are, eating doughnuts in Central Park.”
Carter snorted. “Maybe that’s why you’re so stressed all the time.”
“We’re living mythology, Kane. We’re all always stressed.” Nico sighed. “How did you even meet?”
Frank flushed but laughed alongside Carter as the curly haired boy pointed accusingly at him. “I was taking the subway and I saw him shift from a bird to a human.”
“I lost my pass and didn’t have money to pay the fare!”
“You were an eagle! It’s not my fault I thought you Horus!”
“You got onto a subway as an eagle?!” Nico asked incredulously.
Carter raised an eyebrow. “It’s New York City. That’s not even the strangest thing that could be on a subway.”
He couldn’t argue with that. “You do have a point. Fine, fine. Just— don’t get caught, and don’t attract any unwanted guests.”
Frank gave him two thumbs up. “Will do, Nico. Sorry for the—“
“Oh, there you guys are! Sorry I’m late— woah, Nico! You’re here too?” Percy’s grin was wide with excitement as he jogged up to them, a trio of coffees in a cardboard holder held in his hands. “I didn’t know you’d be here! Welcome to our group therapy!” He snickered as Carter and Frank began to protest his nickname for them.
Nico sighed but allowed himself to smile as he was drawn in to the easy conversation that began to flow between them all. Of course the impossible had happened. It was just another typical day in his life as a demigod.
