So like, you know how in the Percy Jackson books, Athena creates her demigod children by thinking them into existence, mimicking how she herself was born from the skull of Zeus?
You think Aphrodite ever makes kids like how she was born? Chopping off some guy's nards, yeeting them into the sea, & pulling some progeny out of the sea foam?

There's something about the idea that gods change according to belief.
There's something about Aphrodite having to drop her sword and shield and pick up a makeup brush and mirror.
There's something about Zeus's Crown overtaking his hospitality.
There's something about Ares being scrubbed of his care with blood.
There's something about Hera's care being thrown in her face because of her cruelty.
There's something about Dionysus having his artistry and wildness ripped away from him due to his partying.
There's something about Hermes losing his chthonic connections in favour of his trickery.
There's something about Demeter surrendering her fierce, protective love and power over life and death to become a hysterical mother.
There's something about Athena's femininity and protectiveness fading to make her grip her spear and grasp her thoughts tighter.
There's something about Hephaestus forgetting his creations' finesse and intricacy to focus on pure function and efficiency.
There's something about Poseidon's earth-shaking rage that causes waves to rise above the tallest mountains being reduced to occasional vengefulness.
There's something about Apollo giving up his herds and truth and wisdom and plagues to speak the future and heal the wounded through song.
There's something about Artemis turning from children and childbirth to fixate on the wilderness.
There's something about the idea that gods change according to belief.

This is not my original post it belongs to @caffeinatedflumadiddlebutpjo who deleted their account but it’s so good and needs to be preserved
I like that there is just... A noticeable gap in the gods' under standing of mortal children. Like, Zeus really accused a TWELVE-YEAR-OLD of stealing his master bolt and the only justification I have for this is "Well, Hermes stole Apollo's cattle right after birth so that tracks".
But now I have a theory that the gods don't rediv understand how mortal
children work and that's why they're so blase about sending them to do ridiculous nonsense?
Like...
Zeus: What do you mean 'first word'? Why would they only speak one word?
Artemis: Humans can only cry when they are born.
Zeus: Nonsense. When vou were born you didn't cry. You delivered your brother and then came to me to ask for a birthday present.
Artemis: Humans aren't the same though. They can't walk or talk for many months. When they do speak it is only in small, short words.
Zeus: …that's not true
Artemis: I'm afraid it is
Zeus, under his breath: What the fuck
Later on...
Zeus: Did you know human babies can't speak when thev're tirst born?
Poseidon: that's so sad. Are demigods like that?
Zeus: I have no idea.
Poseidon: Mavbe we should ask around more. Athena was saying something about brain development.
Zeus: Their... THEIR BRAINS AREN'T DEVELOPED?!?!
Poseidon: I guess
Zeus: THESE HUMANS ARE WALKING AROUND WITHOUT FULLY FORMED BRAINS?!
Poseidon: I mean, so are you and I don't complain.
The quest continues...
Hermes: So... you're telling me that human kids don't know how to fend themselves at all? They need to be taught? I mean, fighting, of course, but outside of that???
Poseidon: Yeah, I thought it was like fish
where you just naturally know what you’re supposed to do. But apparently they have no idea and need to be shown everything
Hermes: I... that's awful. Why?
Poseidon: I don't know.
Suddenly all the gods are very concerned...
Ares: You mean to tell me that my kids are probably traumatized from war??
Hermes: That's what the research shows. Human kids aren't supposed to handle that kind of stuff and demigods are more human than we anticipated.
Ares: But... War?
Hermes: Idk what to tell you, bud. I'm beginning to understand why they hate us tho.
Everyone is naturally panicking
Demeter: YOU SENT MONSTERS AFTER MY BABIES WHEN THEY HAD NO BRAINS AND COULDN'T EVEN READ?!?
Hecate: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT DEMIGODS WEREN'T BORN KNOWING HOW TO READ!?!?!
Athena: Our children all have dyslexia.
Demeter: YOU LET YOUR DAUGHTERRUN AWAY WHEN SHE WAS SEVEN! SILENCE!
Athena:…And? She is very mature and had my protection. I'm not like the rest of you. rhave done my researcn on humans and led her accordingly.
Apollo: Think of it this way, Athena. She would have just started losing baby teeth when she left home.
Athena: What?
Apollo: According to my son, they shed teeth. Like, they fall out and get new, bigger ones when they re old enougn. Didn't you know that?
Hades: That's disgusting. Our children do that?
Athena: I... That's not true! Your son is a liar!
Apollo: I AM THE GOD OF TRUTH!
It's a whole thing on Olympus
Hephaestus: Wait, they NEED to eat?!?! It isn't just for fun???
Hermes: What about water???
Dionysus: How do none ot vou know these things. Maybe you all should be camp directors for awhile-
Hades: Eight hours? They need EIGHT hours of sleep? A Day? There's no way NICO Is getting that much..
Dionysus: Oh, are they? Yeah lol. None of them are getting that much.
Aphrodite: Oh my gods... What happens if they don't get enough? Do they become ugly? ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE MY KIDS UGLY?!
Zeus: They're so fragile. Why are they even allowed out of the camp?! Chiron, explain!
Chiron: You... Uh, ask them to do stuff for you?
All of Olympus: *flips a table*

random Cabin 10 / Aphrodite kids headcanons
Tumblr media
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
They keep a meticulous track of who is dating who, whose crushing on who, who isn't is rejecting who, ect. They also have a betting pool around certain relationships and campers. artistic rendition of Aphrodite campers presenting their romance predictions for the summer:
Tumblr media
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
They host charity events around Valentines. Its important to them that people spend the day with their loved ones, but also to make sure that love is shared around everywhere and with everyone. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
They may not be as big readers as the Athena kids, but they do have each their own favourite couple in history and media that they are ride or die for. They can even go toe-toe with Athena's kids in debates over these couples, arguing about their favourite relationship's historical legitimacy/basis or canon. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Aphrodite kids aren't known for enthusiastically participating in training or camp activities, but like water is to Percy, love is a powerful adrenaline rush. When they're fighting for someone or something they truly love, they can become incredible warriors and protectors even if its only for a short time. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Marilyn Monroe was a child of Aphrodite. I will die on this hill. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Despite their reputation of being quite vain, children of Aphrodite can be intensely devoted and self sacrificing when it comes to those they care about and matters of love. Being loved by a child of Aphrodite means discovering what it means to be worshipped like you are the moon to their tide, the air to their lungs. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
If you have a nasty break up with a child of Aphrodite, the next few dates you try to go on will go terribly and embarrassingly wrong. The bad luck will fade eventually, just long enough to create a few truly cringe worthy memories. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Cabin 10 campers host make up and wardrobe workshops semi regularly, giving advice to those that want it. They also collaborate on theatre projects the Apollo and Dionysus kids sometimes put on, mostly in make up/costuming/hair, but occasionally as captivating romance leads or as script consultants for love stories (in fact they get quite offended if you don't even ask any of them to at least read over your script). ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Weddings or engagements where part of the couple is a child of Aphrodite is massive affair. The whole cabin gets together for it, no matter where they live at this point in their lives. They also perform some really old ancient rites to honour Aphrodite and to ask her to bless their sibling in their relationships future. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
When children of Aphrodite go to battle, they wear something of their lover. Sometimes something simple like a picture of them, favourite jewellery of their lover's, their lover's lucky underwear, a hair piece from their love ect, or it can be as something as intimate as a lock of hair or even an ash diamond (if they've passed away). If they don't have a lover, then they wear something symbolic of their mother for her protection. Most popularly this is a dove feather or pearl jewellery, even both at once.

Pjo AU, but the plot stays more or less the same, the only difference is that pjo!ares is replaced by myth!ares
So onto the differences:
Ares is a girls girl. He goes to feminist protests and pro-choice protests. Is the kind of person to beat up a guy who tried to drug a girl. Will pretend to be a girl's husband if sees her being harassed by a creepy dude, after the guy leaves calls an Uber for the girl.
He's a girl dad, despite having very few daughters over the last couple of centuries. Clarrise, and everyone in camp, know that she can ask him to become a goddess and he will make her one. Because she usually gets mistaken for a golden child some new campers think she's weak and is a counselor because she's Ares' favorite. They quickly find out that she can, and will, beat your ass if you try mocking her.
And don't think that just because Ares is a girl dad he doesn't love his sons. He's the kind of dad to have pictures of his kids in his wallet and tell about their achievements to anyone who'll listen.
He has a tradition of hosting a party for his children's birthdays(which he remembers) and he gets them gifts.
At some point after tlt he learns what Sally did to Gabe and immediately starts fangirling after her. They become friends. He's her maid of honor at her wedding with Paul.
Clarrise also has beef with Percy in this AU, but not why you think. Annabeth tells Luke she thinks Percy might be the son of Poseidon and this idea spreads among the counselors and gets back to Clarrise and she's mad, because she knows the story of Alcippe and Halirrhothius and automatically doesn't trust any children of Poseidon, so she has beef with him in the beginning, that goes down the same way, and that's why Ares has beef with Percy later on.
Because he's friends with Sally, at some point, after her and Paul start dating but before she tells him about the whole "my ex is a greek god" thing, she gets Ares and Aphrodite go on a double date with them, because in her eyes there are no better judges for her new boyfriend then the goddess of love and the god protector of women.

Ok I had a pjo thought
What if reader was a child of Aphrodite BUT they were like the complete opposite of what a kid of hers would be?? Usually children of Aphrodite are known to care about their appearance, hair, clothes, etc. but reader is the most raggedy looking person to ever step foot in camp.
So like I haven’t read heroes of Olympus yet, so bear with me as I’m mostly gonna mention Percy, Annabeth, anybody whose mentioned in the first series. But I can just imagine Percy, Annabeth and Grover coming across reader one night and just seeing them going ham on a monster and absolutely demolishing it. Talking to them, reader is like super gruff and not so pleasant, constantly looking over their shoulder looking for any new threats, hair pointing in every direction, but still being able to look good despite it all. Like they know that reader has been surviving out in the world for a while with the dirt that’s littering their body and clothes.
It takes some convincing on their end to bring reader back to camp, but they eventually agree to go along with them. For sure Percy thinks reader is like a a child of Ares or something because of how blunt and crude they are. The other campers side eye reader once they all get to camp because DAMN do you look rough all over the edges.
Now imagine their absolute SHOCK when you reveal that you’re a child of Aphrodite. Literally no one is expecting it, not even Chiron fully believes you until you pull out a necklace that has Aphrodites symbol etched on it. Reader is everything Aphrodite doesn’t stand for, which they brush off. Dirty, almost matted hair. Dirt all over your face. Clothes sagging on readers body. Rough hands from handling your weapon after all these years. The kids of the Aphrodite cabin visibly cringe.
And you KNOW that being like this pisses Aphrodite so much. You’re dad didn’t want you and your mother never really paid attention to you, so the one way to get one of their attentions was to be everything they would despise, or highly dislike. You would have the disapproving stare of a goddess than be forgotten about entirely by your family. Of course you would never tell this to anyone, but Aphrodite would know. She will always be able to read you and your intentions.
Getting back on track, now having all these beautiful and drop dead gorgeous kids as your half siblings, they are immediately gonna do a deep clean on reader. After cleaning, your new siblings are gonna trim and cut readers hair, style it, get you new and fashionable clothing, all that fun stuff :D They love playing dress up with reader, everyone surrounding them as they prep you up for the new day, talking and tapping their hearts away while you silently drift away into your head, enjoying the attention you’re receiving.
Now when reader steps out of the cabin, everyone is gonna be STARING at them because HOLY MOLY IS THAT THE SAME PERSON??? Like your natural beauty is literally SHINING THROUGH YOURE PRACTICALLY GLOWING (which is not a coincidence since Aphrodite would totally give you some kind of blessing)
Of course that doesn’t change how reader doesn’t even act like the other Aphrodite kids, participating in sword training, climbing the rock wall, causing the others to wince at all their hard work gone down the drain. It’s during this time where reader does feel like an outcast in their cabin though because they aren’t able to relate with their half siblings as they talk about hot celebrities, or the new perfume Prada released, or the talks about designer luxury brands.
I think Annabeth would get along with reader though since to an extent, they’re able to relate to at home problems. They would grow pretty close, which means that reader would show her the special abilities they have, like charmspeak, which is an ability that uses the users voice to make a person do whatever they want. I did a bit of research about the Aphrodite cabin and saw that it’s a really rare thing for a child of Aphrodite to have. It also explains how reader was able to survive so long on the streets, often using this ability to get food, cash.
When it comes to fighting, normally Aphrodite kids usually sit things out, but not reader. No, no, no, reader immediately jumps into action, fight or flight mode activated. I like to think that despite her not liking how you chose to present yourself, Aphrodite does care for you, often silently giving you a blessing of protection while you fight. Idk it just seems like whenever you fight some monster, a pink aura tends to surround you instantly.
Overall, opposite child of Aphrodite reader is a badass. They really bring change to the cabin, showing their half siblings that there’s more than just sitting down and looking pretty.
ARGH SORRY I NEEDED TO WRITE THIS DOWN😫😫😫💔💔💔

Just listened to Caleb Hyles's cover of Surface Pressure and-
Encanto characters but the Olympians.
Mirabel: Hermes. The middle child syndrome is real here.
Isabella: Apollo. UM. HELLO???? PERFECT CHILD??? GOLDEN CHILD????
Luisa: Ares. It makes sense. It does. Always putting on a brave face??? It fits.
Dolores: Athena. Hear me out- Dolores hears everything. Everything. Don't you think that would put some kind of wall between her and her family? Since they know she can hear everything they say? Everything they do? That she knows how they tick? Doesn't that just scream Athena? Knows how her family works? A distance between her and her siblings?
Camilo: Dionysus. Hands down Dionysus. Back in the day, he was carefree raggamuffin but over the years he's had to put on a mask - be a shapeshifter, if you will.
Pepa: I get Demeter vibes from her.
Bruno: Hades. Enough said.
Abuela: Hera. 100% Fixated on the 'perfect family' when no such thing exists </3
I'm not yet quite sure who would be Julieta or Antonio...or the in-laws. Ideas?

Aphrodite: You know, Hyacinthus gives Apollo flowers all the time, I wish you’d do that too.
Ares: Okay.
-Later-
Ares: *Gives Apollo flowers*
Apollo: ?? Thank? You??
Ares: I am just as confused as you are.

Aphrodite is kinda a fanfic writer when you think about it except in-universe.
She sees a ship that she really likes and says: what if I put them in situations (tm) and then take them out of situations (tm). I feel like we need some hurt/comfort here and a little bit of angst there. But also fluff. We need fluff because they are so cute.
Meanwhile the characters she is playing with are more and more traumatized.

I don't like all of Rick's portrayals of the gods. I get that they're supposed to be inhuman — they are stuck in their ways, unchanging, clinging to "perfection" and the values that have defined them for millennia.
I just think that sometimes, Rick chose the wrong values for them to cling to.
Ares does not value gender; he values war, he values strength, he values bravery. He does not care if you can give birth or not. He does not care for mortal gender values. He cares for what you can give on the battlefield, for what weapons you can wield, for how much pain you can take. He cares for how many punches you can take and still get up, for how much blood you can spit and still fight back, for how torn your knuckles can become and still cave someone's skull in. He cares for how many horrors you can see and still fight, for how much inhumanity you can take and remain human, for how many times you can be faced with your fears and overcome them.
Ares, God of War, The Courageous, Slayer of Men, Protector of Women, does not care if Clarisse bleeds every month, if his children fight all that moves; he cares if she can stare in the faces of her brothers and not succumb to her fears, if they can fight and lose and get back up for another round.
Aphrodite does not value femininity; she values love, she values lust, she values beauty. She does not care if you use dozens of cosmetic products on yourself. She does not care for dolled-up models. She cares for how you love, for how much you are willing to give in her name, for how beautiful you view yourself. She cares for what measures you are willing to take to ensure your love can thrive, for how many insults you can take and still love yourself, for how much effort you feel the need to put in to feel beautiful. She cares for how much blood you will spill to protect your love, for how much love you can give and still have more, for how many obstacles you can see in your way and still love fiercely.
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, The Warlike, Smile-Loving, Common To All People, does not care if Piper wears dresses or sweats, if her children break hearts as a right of passage; she cares if she will ravage worlds to keep her loved ones, if they will love full-heartedly.
Weapons change. Social values change. Gender roles change. Fashion trends change.
War does not. Strength does not. Bravery does not.
Love does not. Lust does not. Beauty does not.
And is it not that the gods cling to those values of theirs, those aspects of theirs, those traits of theirs so dearly for fear of change?

Hello, can I request headcanons for Aphrodite and daughter!reader where the reader is heartbroken when she sees Percy together with Annabeth? What would Aphrodite do to comfort her?
Hi Anon! I tried to keep this as neutral as possible so it can be read as the reader having feelings for either Percy or Annabeth. I ended up writing more for this than I thought I would. I hope you like it!
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Pairing: Aphrodite x daughter! reader (platonic)
Tumblr media
You’re happy for them. Of course you are. They’re a wonderful couple and they support each other amazingly.
But it doesn’t make it hurt any less seeing the person you love with someone else.
As a daughter of Aphrodite, you felt a twisted sense of betrayal. Sure, as a daughter of the goddess of love, it was part of your job to make sure other people were getting into relationships. But what about your own happiness? Didn’t your mom care about that?
You couldn’t know it, but Aphrodite was keeping a close eye on you. No child of hers was going to suffer the effects of a broken heart!
That didn’t mean she was going to break apart the happy couple. Of course not! She may care about her daughter but Percy and Annabeth were too much of a power couple for her to in good conscience break up.
But that also didn’t mean she was going to let you suffer in silence.
Aphrodite’s taking a trip down to the mortal world and whisking you off to wherever you want to go. London? Absolutely. Naples? Certainly. Vancouver? She can do that.
And when you’re there, she’s finding the best day spa and spending the whole day with you.
If you want to talk about your love life problems, Aphrodite is absolutely the person to go to. And if you don’t want to talk about it, she’s more than happy to talk about herself.
Absolutely has snacks on standby. Whether she knows exactly what snacks you like or it’s magic you can’t be sure. But whatever you feel like, it’s there.
Self care is important and you’ll walk out of there feeling better, despite yourself. Yes, it’ll still hurt when you see Percy and Annabeth together. But a day of getting everything off your chest has been good.
Aphrodite will absolutely try to set you up on half a dozen blind dates. The best way to get over heartbreak is to get back into the realm of dating after all (according to Aphrodite at least).
It’s up to you whether you go on those dates or not. You never know. You just might find someone who’s perfect for you.
