I think that Merlin and Percy disagreed about something but Peter is sitting in the back with AirPods in underneath his mask (they are all transgender)

Percabeth after the first war, who haven’t really gotten to be teenagers, who feel both too old and too young for their skin. Who are so so glad that the war is over, but also feel surprisingly lost, because fighting the war has been their future, their purpose, their job for as long as they can really remember
Annabeth and Percy, who do what all adrift teens do when everything is overwhelming and painful and exciting and when it feels like you don’t have a purpose any more:
they make a bucket list.
it starts small. They go clothes shopping together, close enough to Sally’s house that they can get home quick if they need too. They start to develop their own senses of style. They go to a farmers market. They make graffiti at one point and nearly get caught but the entire time they’re giggling through their fingers.
then comes the hair.
it was just a random item on the bucket list: hair dye.
and they were going to get crazy colors, Percy was going to dye his bright teal blue, no hesitation. He was decided. But then they’re standing in the shopping aisle, looking at the colorful boxes, and Percy’s eyes catch on a model, and they have long dark hair that’s just the same shade as Annabeth’s.
and he scans the aisle, and there’s another one, a bright sandy gold, and he turns to Annabeth, who is debating between silver and purple with all the intensity of a teenage war veteran, and says “I have a stupid idea”
they grab a boxed bleach on their way out.
they dye their hair together, and it’s a mess and the dye gets everywhere and it’s not quite even and both of them get a little light headed from the fumes but it’s so much fun
and they refuse to let anyone in the bathroom until their hair is dyed, rinsed and blow dried even though it takes forever because bleaching is a much longer process
when they finally emerge, Sally gasps and then starts to laugh and then Paul joins in and then they’re all laughing.
Percy’s hair is black, Annabeth’s hair is blond.
They’ve switched hair colors. And it’s silly, but it’s also a constant reminder that they’re not alone.
It’s being able to wake up from a nightmare and seeing blond hair on your pillow instead of black and thinking “Percy”. It’s having a bad day where you can’t seem to keep your mind from slipping away from you, then seeing black hair in the corner of your vision and thinking “Annabeth”. It’s a tangible sign that they are connected, that they are alive, and that there is someone who understands. A physical reminder of love.
When their roots grow out, they look at their inverted hair and smile. Like always, they match.

Thinking about Percy's gray streak and going insane rn..
It's a twin of Annabeth's. A sign of their shared burden. He's always envied Luke and Thalia; they had a piece of her he'd never have, and now he has something just as good, if not better.
But the streak is also a reminder of the two people he'd lost, two lives whose weight he carries long after he's set down the sky.
Just...Percy's gray streak

sea salt
percy jackson & gn! reader — reader comes back to camp after a long summer away
tw - implied alcoholism (not of reader but of a parent)
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
“Just call it fall. No one calls it autumn.”
The curb digs into the backs of your thighs, shorts not doing much for the growing chill.
“I call it autumn.”
“hm. Weird.”
There’s a girl who lives down the street from you, by the stop sign on the corner. She has eyes like chocolate and ribbons in her hair. Her name is—
“Penny, I don’t get why the leaves here never turn. They go from green to brown. It’s stupid.”
She takes a long, contemplative sip from her juicebox. “Weather ain’t cut out for it. It gets real pretty upstate, though. That’s where you’re going tomorrow, right?”
A beat. Right, the ‘boarding school’ you go to every school year.
“Yeah. Right. The scenery’s beautiful.” Penny takes another loud sip. “Apple?”
“Grape.” She shows you the box as if you needed proof. You wrinkle your nose.
“That’s—"
clang!
“Penny!!!!” Someone screeches. It echoes, bounces around the neighborhood in the fading light.
Her brother rounds the corner, bicycle helmet dangling from one hand, blood dripping down his knees.
“Holy hell,” Penny swears. She stands with an apologetic glance. “Have fun upstate. Send me pictures of the le—"
“Penny!!!”
You laugh. “I will! You better go tend to him. He’s clearly in critical condition.”
She rolls her eyes. “How dire.” But she jogs over to him anyways.
One by one, the streetlights flicker on. There’s a melancholy that comes with the dusk that you can’t shake.
Penny’s left her juicebox.
You start home.
.*・。゚☆゚.*・。゚
It feels like you’re suffocating the second you step through the front door.
It’s simple. Get the taxi money from the drawer in the kitchen, go back to your room, stay there until you can leave tomorrow. Just this one thing.
Just this last thing.
The floorboards creak as you walk through the kitchen. There are glass bottles and crumpled cans on the counter. You toss them in the bin and make a mental note to stay away from Dad.
The drawer sticks the first time you pull on it, so you pull again, harder. It scrapes open.
You grab a twenty and some change and concurrently nick yourself on the stapler. Blood wells. You hiss through your teeth.
Dad is in the living room on the couch, knocked out. His breath is sour.
You tiptoe upstairs. Just one more night. Then you can leave again.
.*・。゚☆゚.*・。゚
The door slams shut behind you.
You shoulder the duffel bag and close the trunk of the car.
“You sure this is where?” The taxi driver is a stern looking lady. Her hair is streaked with gray.
“Yep, I’m sure.”
You’re at the base of the hill.
“Really? Because there’s nothing here.”
“I’m meeting someone here,” you say, attempting a sure smile. “Thank you, though. I appreciate it.”
She stares at you for a moment, eyes narrowing. “‘Kay.”
The taxi sputters off.
You’ve never understood why they made the entrance to camp so damn steep. This sucks, this sucks, this sucks, muttered with every footfall.
The grass is making your ankles itch.
It’s all worth it when you cross the camp boundary, though. You can feel it, like a shift in the air. You breathe it in, feel the pressure in your chest start to dissipate.
Someone calls your name, excited and breathless. You turn and immediately are sent stumbling back by a blur of orange.
They smell like cut grass and salt. Not like sweaty salt, but like sea salt. It’s nice.
“Hey, Percy.”
He laughs into your shoulder, arms wrapped around your back.
“Hi.”
You let your head rest against his. Gods, you’ve missed this place. You’ve missed him.
Your eyes sting. The orange fabric at his shoulders bunches as you hug him tighter. He rocks back and forth on his feet but lets you cling to him.
You’re the one who pulls away first.
“You okay?” He murmurs.
He could feel the tremble of your fingers when they were laced behind his back.
“Yeah. Why?”
Percy searches for something in your eyes. You’re not sure what though. Maybe an excuse to pry about the watery sheen to them.
He doesn’t pry, though. Instead, he leads you back to the pavilion, hand in hand.
.*・。゚☆゚.*・。゚
By the time you’ve settled in, the sun is dipping below the pine trees. Yesterday at this time, you were on the curb with Penny. Now, you sit before a roaring campfire, the gloom of dusk chased away by kids giggling and music playing.
The smoke is sweet smelling. It draws spirals in the sky, dusty gray stark against orange streaks.
You’re somewhere off to the side of the benches. It’s too loud right next to the flames.
Percy’s shoulder is barely brushing yours.
“I’m sorry you couldn’t stay here for the summer.” His voice is quiet. It dissolves sweetly with the smoke.
“Me too.”
You can feel him turn to look at you, curls ghosting the shell of your ear.
“I missed you.”
You turn to look at him, to really look at him. There’s something sad behind his eyes, but it’s barely there. It flickers in the firelight. Maybe it’s what he saw in yours.
“Me too. It’s good to be back.”
You link your pinky with his and he smiles at you, sickeningly sweet.
It really is good to be back.
The fire roars. You let your head drop to his shoulder. Percy drops his head too, his cheek to your temple.
That night, you text Penny.
hey. you were right; the leaves are really pretty upstate. hope your brother survived. x

Oh are we talking adorable percabeth headcanons? I got a great one.
At some point Percy notices that Aphrodite's appearance has stopped shifting. Instead, she looks exactly like Annabeth, but older - with crow's feet, laugh lines, even more gray streaks in her hair. Because getting to grow old with Annabeth is the most beautiful thing he can imagine.
thanks for the ask @standardissueplottwist!
this is so sweet i’m gonna cry. this is so incredibly accurate. he just wants to grow old with her 😭

You know how evryones talkingabout season 2. About grover in a wedding dress.
I dont feel particularly excited for season 2. I wanna see the Titan's Curse getting adapted. Heck I wanna see the beef between Thalia and Percy. Their fight after loosing Capture the flag from the hunters....percy making the whole creek rise and Thalia zapping him with lightning
I wanna see who they cast as Artemis and Apollo.
Thalia totally crushing on Apollo
"He's hot" "He's the sun god"
oh and Apollo flirting with the rest hunters of Artemis.
I wanna see how much Zoe and Thalia despise each other.
no kidding the classic hoover dam scene.
I want a dam t-shirt.
I want to see Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
I wanna see Nico and Bianca.
I want to see Annabeth holding the sky for Luke bcz she cant bear to see him like that even tho Luke betrayed her and then Artemis taking it from her bcz she cant bear to see a maiden in pain. And Percy taking it from Artemis so she can fight Atlas.
I want to see Thalia fighting Luke. After all they've been together. "Family Luke You promised"
And the last moments of Zoë Nightshade . in Artemis's arms
When she becomes stars. I want to hear her say.
"Let the world honor you my huntress live forever in the stars"
"I can see the stars again m'lady"
I want to see Thalia joining the Artemis's hunt. I want to see bessie. The sea cow.
I want to see the young Nico excited about evrything. Playing mythomagic. jumping up and down full of energy.
I want to see Percy promising Nico that he would look after Bianca.
Nico's reaction when he finds out about Biancas death. The last gift of Bianca to Nico the only one he didnt have a miniature of Hades.
And the matching gray streaks in both Percy and Annabeth's hair.

grover coming out of TTC with a white streak like percy's and annabeth's because of the empathy link putting the stress of the world on his shoulders too - his is more gray, covers less hair than theirs since he didn't hoist the world himself
but afterwards percy implores him to explain how he can avoid putting that kind of pressure on grover by accident again. stumbling through tartarus, percy is grateful he asked - he wouldn't want to put this one grover either, doesn't let him feel the pain in the aftermath, shuts down the linger distaste of nightmares as soon as he wakes up, conceals the volatile rage that he can't hold back as well as he used to, hides and hides and hides
(but grover doesn't need an empathy link to know when percy's struggling)

My random thoughts abt Percy Jackson as someone who only watched the show and knows bits and pieces according to bestie's info dumping
(spoilers??????)
• Percy is chronically confused and he never stops being confused about everything when he gets older and I love him for that
• I'm already aware that Luke is going to end up being horrible in some way to Percy because of the reaction of the whole fandom to non-book readers liking Luke so much and all i know he will do something malicious out of jealousy? As I understand hed been ignored by gods for a long time while Percy got claimed in couple days. NO idea what possibly will he do
• I'm team Grover, he can do nothing wrong and I know for a fact he will be Percy's friend throughout everything even if he wont always be in the centre of action, I also hope hes more than just a sideckick or protector for demigods and has his own stuff to do
• Annabeth is a badass with a baggage and it seems like shes not always appreciated enough
• Traumatized as fuck kids😢
• Apparently Poseidon is not that bad even though i expected him to be a complete piece of shit
• Who IS a piece of shit is apparently Athena?
• Apparently Percy is extremely powerful but he never fully gives into this potential to protect his friends(?) or to not be dangerous (?) Hes just real kind and loyal
• Sally Jackson will at some point find her a better man (i think?)
• Something tells me Percabeth will be less of a slowburn in the show compared to the books, just bcus??
• I saw that fanart or older Percy and Annabeth and they got white streaks in the hair? Bestie told me its plot related and refused to tell me why and I legit thought its gray hairs from stress😭 maybe some kind of sacrifice that affects their physical body i honestly have no idea
• There gonna be a bunch of other kids that will be friends and or have a completely separate story and theyre all trios???? There are at least two different trios
• Theres Nico whos a kid of Hades who doesnt get a break from weird ppl cus hes gay and hes also apparently very sad guy and later on he meets his future bf Will Solace whos a healer and Apollos kid and hes a sunshine? At least looks like one but i font know anything about his personality
•Also I assume that Annabeth is friend with Nico? but not sure
• When Percy finds out that Nico used to have a crush on him hes as always, chronically confused (tm)

Can I just say, I think it is absolute bullshit that rick took away the gray streaks in percy and annabeth's hair?
Like "oh, here's this side effect from when you held the fucking sky, which is at the very least vaguely implied to have caused damage to an actual factual Goddess, so no telling what it did to you. But also, we're going to get rid of it now, just for funzzies"
I just- Why!?
((To clarify)I'm not trying to sound mad at you, I just started a reread and am having emotions)
It's such bullshit! They should've kept those! Those are marks they got from holding up the force of a Primordial! Those don't just disappear!

Punk Percy Jackson headcanons but by an actual punk instead of someone who thinks skateboarding is an aesthetic
So first off this will include my Pjo self-insert Lex de los Santos since i'm a book!Percy selfshiper(and Walker is my little guy so expect lots of appreciation for him on this blog too)and if you're gonna be hateful of that,please just scroll past thanks!Now lets get into it:
Always had the punk mindset as seen in canon by her being anti-authority,rebelling against all corruption she sees and being extremely protective and loving towards younger minorities
But was too poor to afford the clothes and piercings and such.Didn't bother him though since he cared more about acting and thinking punk than looking it
Thalia was his first real experience with the subculture headon and that's a big reason why he admired and was lowkey jealous of her along with a bit of gender envy
Goes to protests with and does charity work with Rachel
And she buys him a bunch of punk stuff(From punk bussinesses ofc,otherwise what's the point)
Learned to DIY so many things it's a running gag
Riot Grrrl and Mcr fan-Also not punk but stans Megan Thee Stallion,Ice Spice and Lo-Fi beats too.Also really likes Green Day!!
The specific types of punk Percy is are afropunk(i hc them as half afro-dominican and half black-greek),seapunk(NOT because of Poseidon but because of Sally)and either crustpunk or pastel punk depending wether we're talking her as a bigender transfem and a misc between masc and fem presentation or her as a super femme trans woman.Not for gender roles reasons obviously because that would be ridicioulous but i just think that their lives would be significantly so that leads to a few differences in personalities and tastes
Persephone Ameila has comics!Starfire hair and dyes her faded from gray to white streak sea blue to blend in,Perseo Isadore has dreads and keeps his as is because Lex finds it hot.Here are illustrations of them by @honeypotsworld and @leo-thecactus using bases from the Pjo graphic novels!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Straight edge
His autism definitely contributes to how how he approaches punkness.Examples include how blunt he is in it and a funny one is that he loves googling the most bizzare ass sounding and/or looking foods to make and eat and calls it 'sticking it to the man' and Lex encourages and joins on both
Their patches jacket has spikes on the shoulders and pockets and frills around the collar and his patches are the dominican,autism and trans flags,the anarchy symbol and ones to represent his most important people-A black mermaid for Sally,a pink rose for Lex,a skull for Nico and a yellow diamond for Hazel.It has a good handful of pins and his collection is ever growing but his favorites are the cat one and the Riptide one Lex made him
Goes on estrogen but light dosages and for a short amount of time compared to full transitions and gets no surgeries.Wears makeup too(*Insert the putting makeup on your gf redraw meme but with Perlex*)and has a tongue ring,an eyebrow piercing and forward helix on both ears
Radicalized Nico and Hazel,who are now goth punk and pastel goth punk.The three of them and Lex are known as 'The Outcast Godlings' because of the usual treatment Hades and Pluto kids get that the first two were no exception to and Percy's and Lex's feelings of isolation and otherness even after getting to Camp Half Blood,all of which were thankfully resolved by the the end of Hoo and the begining of Tales of Dead Seas(My fansequel to it that happens instead of Toa and has them as the mcs)
Exclusively buys his video games and consoles and legos secondhand due to being anti-capitalism
Killed Luke in TLO not only because of being the hero of the prophecy but also because no actual punk wouldn't unalive a fascist who was also a serial ped0phile the second they got the chance.She made sure it was extra painful too and even had Nico use his soul erasing power we saw in BOO on him
Owns a pair of colbat blue and black demonias that Beckendorf got him which are a little tight on him now but he wears them anyway to remember him by
Them and Lex make clothes for Nico and Hazel with Sally's help and play the Team Parents role for them in general♡
Perlex is punk4punk but Lex is pastel punk and solarpunk!!They go on punk dates like going to concerts together in matching outfits and skateboarding and rollerblading in their opposites aesthetics board and skates and defacing public property together <3 Also Percy has the cocky flirty punk guy thing going on you usually see in male characters who are but it's a Lex exclusive

Omg so like you wouldn’t not believe the horror of a date I had. It fr sent me Mia for a sec😔But then I had the silliest meetcute with this guy so I think luck is on my side 🤭
But anyways I like love making my poookie girl flops traumatised and cope in the saddest ways possible.
So like I drew Percy if she did Leave the Ror universe for good( like she’s gone gone and they can’t bring her back ) . I kinda imagine this being her look during TOA
She’s cut her hair off ( hair contains memories and pookie wants to forget the crazy stuff ) but even if so a part of her still kinda clings to it..
And sure maybe the random odd streaks of colorful hair are odd but they’re very cute ! Pink, gold and green, and that’s just her usual gray streak isn’t it ? Yes maybe it has an almost blue tint to it now but it’s probably just the lighting ! And no that very dark strand that almost sticks out is nothing ! Just good old natural hair
From her always wearing a pearls, her tattoos for two certain folks or the fact she clings to a mysterious Wedding ring she will never truly talk about its origins too…
And well if she’s suddenly grown fond of clothes with floral patterns and or the fact that she has been suddenly peirced her ear in black studs…
Well she’s just good old Percy isn’t she ?
It’s not that odd that she’s off visiting gods from other pantheons…
She even dotes a bit on Apollo but it’s just her feeling bad for him being turned into a mortal for something he wasn’t to blame for right ? And yeah she’s having tea with Loki but that’s just a new friend…
And her visits to hades were she always seems a bit sad are never that deep…
Just good old Percy and a couple of odd quirks from all the stuff that’s happened to her so far nothing else 😇
Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay but now imagine those pjo! gods realizing that she's only nice to them cuz she's lowkey seeing them as replacements for the ror! yans 😭

The Dead Sea Siblings all have a white streak in their hair but Percy's is because her gray streak's color faded,Hazel's is from her ressurection and Nico's is due how to much time he spends communicating with ghosts amping up his death powers
(Inspired by my found own sibling's @leo-thecactus ' Toa rewrite idea!!!)

“Driver?”, Edward called.
“Yes, Edward?”, his driver replied.
“What are these white patches on my face?”, he asked. “I remember seeing this on a passenger a long time ago, but I never really knew what they were.”
“I think you have vitiligo”, the driver answered, starting to become a bit nervous, thinking that Edward didn't like how he looked. “It’s a rare skin condition that causes white patches to appear on someone's face. I know it might look... disturbing at first but–”
“Why would you ever say that?”, smiled Edward. He caressed his face as he gazed at his reflection in the hand mirror. “In my opinion, they look rather lovely! Don't you think?”
------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone! Have HFOD! Edward! His design was inspired by: @fraiserabbit , @bruhstation , @theflyingkipper , @oldirontender , @humanoid-au , @putuponpercy , and @hkpika07 !
Here's some facts about him:
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Edward has a terrible habit of trying to cope with everything by himself.
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Edward, as joked by everyone, has 8 children: Thomas, Percy, Bill, Ben, Lady, Neville, Charlie and Phillip.
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Emily is one of Edward's old friends (yes that means she used to work in Barrow-In-Furness)
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) As told by Emily, in her and Edward's younger days, he was as stubborn as Gordon, and as cheeky as Thomas. This made him rather maddening at times, but he was also quite the charmer. Edward never told the engines this and doesn't like talking about it. He cringes so hard at it.
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) He and Thomas share a similar “cheeky face” :]
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Edward helped Percy become more clever and confident after Duck’s arrival. Along with this, he helped Percy figure out his Auditory Processing Disorder. This shows in Thomas And The Magic Railroad Edward And The Magic Railway.
(IN MAIN AU) Lets just say his patience ran thin after Mattel created “All Engines Go”.
(IN HFOD AU) He couldn't see without his glasses when he turned human(oid). Yeah they aren’t reading glasses.
(IN MAIN AU) Edward has no record of going on strike. Except...
(IN HFOD AU) His hair is the most grayed out of the main 8. And he has 2 streaks of really white hair. He forms the “White Streak Trio” with Henry and Gordon.
------------------------------------------------
Well, there you have it! And, one last thing, to any of you who have vitiligo;
Don’t feel ashamed of it. If Edward thinks it’s beautiful, so should you ❤️
