Help me choose a fic to work on:
(summaries below poll)
Gorgeous Girl, Goddess Girl, (Good Isn't All You Have Been)
Silena raises her head high as she dons Clarisse's armor. One way or another, it ends today.
She places the note on Drew's pillow, and then Clarisse's.
She steps in the chariot.
She dies.
~~~
Silena dies. These are her actions leading up to it.

Everything Is In Past Tense Now (You're All Gone)
("And Silena, she makes chocolates with her dad right before the start of summer, and she'll bring them in and they always taste awful 'cause she never makes them any other time, but everyone eats them, 'cause it's Silena. You'll love 'em though, 'cause Cecil always makes ice cream to go with the chocolate, and Malcolm and Beck'll make some baked goods." Chris sees Drew leave the room, Nyssa wipe away a tear, and Clarisse balling her hands into fists and whispering 'hero, hero, hero, she was a hero,' and he realizes his slip up.
Slip ups at camp fires where people don't quite seem dead. (Denial is much stronger than reality when we want it to be)

The Gods Watch From Their Heavens And Judge Us (But Their Sins Outnumber Ours)
Annabeth and Jason and Luke. Those are all the people that Thalia has cared about in her twelve short years. Jason is dead. Annabeth is screaming. Luke is sobbing.
Thalia has failed them all. 
Thalia's reflection on her life as she dies.
___________________
Before And After (Though We Often Wish It Hadn't)
There have been hundreds of events in her life that have a before and after. There was the before she ran away, and the after of Camp Half Blood. There was the before she met will, and the after: when she would do anything to protect him. Clarisse has had hundreds of befores and afters, but nothing quite like this. 
She didn’t think that there was an after to watching her siblings get consumed by the earth, screaming, while another watched. 
She doesn’t know how to cope with that after: a quieter cabin, unfinished bottles of hair solution, and unmade beds.
___________________
Where Our Lines Blur (Hold My Hand)
Connor Stoll likes Malcolm Pace. Malcolm Pace likes Connor Stoll. Seems simple, right? Even more so when they go out to eat together, alone, once a week? But no, it isn't, and Annabeth is going to lose her damn mind if this keeps up. Travis too.
So they drive the two out of camp until they confess, which leads to a day of disasters and disregarded laws including car theft and shoplifting, not to mention the fact that neither of them know how to drive or are of age for a license. 
And then they manage to go on a two person raid of a camp with 40 demigods in it, the two are forced to swear something on the River Styx, and it somehow isn't even the worst part of the day?
Travis and Annabeth aren't impressed.
___________________
Come Down The Floods (And Bathe In The Blood Of Gods)
Connor Stoll's morning starts like this: it's three twenty in the morning, and there is a ghost next to them. Drew is already up. There is a storm giant in battle against the gods, and they are in a war against Kronos. It is five days before the biggest battle of Connor's life, and in forty minutes, they'll be dancing on the table with their friends. 
ALT: Connor's perspective of the mission to blow up the Princess Andromeda, the day of Beckendorf's funeral, the three days of the Battle of Manhattan, and the funerals that come afterwards.
___________________
Hateful Heroes (Burdened With Bitterness)
(I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU-)
War. War and Death and Tragedy galore. Clarisse isn't mourning properly. Percy isn't either really, and it's of no surprise. (What teenagers are meant to mourn for the people who make up their entire world?) Clarisse starts a fist fight by the dying embers of Hestia's fire and Silena's shroud- but it won't bring her back. Percy stays awake at night watching blood arise from his skin- no amount of it is going to make up for the lives lost.
And then they break. It's not a surprise, but for Hestia who sits by the hearth as they scream? Her heart breaks.
(THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HAD DIED- DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT? I WISH I HAD!- I WISH YOU HAD TOO! MAYBE SILENA WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!)
___________________
Tell Me I Can Live My Life (Don't Tell Me How To Live It)
The moment that Silena decides to become a spy for Kronos is the day that Drew breaks down in tears over her sexuality.
Drew wants to join the Hunters of Artemis, Aphrodite has a rule against that, and Mitchell tells horror stories about the rule.
___________________
So We Scream At The World (How Dare It Be Bright In Light Of Our Loss)
Will Solace is thirteen years old and ready to die. He's seen other people die, lots of them, and thinks that some of them didn't look like they were in pain, so really, how bad could it be? He's exhausted.
He is thirteen, and in charge of the infirmary. Usually it would be left to older kids, but he is the oldest. He's thirteen, and in charge of his siblings. Of making sure they don't die. He is not a leader, but he has been at camp the longest.
He just wants to sleep and never wake up. His family (because that is what they are, what they have become in this war) doesn't want to let him. (They want him to sleep, but they also want him to wake up.)
___________________
When All Your Fucking Dreams Are Dead
The Olympian dream is dead. Demigods pile up in bodies, and learn to fight monsters before they learn how to do addition- if they ever do learn either of those things, that is. Funny, right? They’re myths, they’re fairytales, it’s not like any parents would ever let their six year old fight monsters and take care of a toddler to survive, no, why the fuck would you think that? Fucking Olympian dream, folks. And hahaha, it’s all too funny, then you get to camp, you have no money, don’t even get your own clothes- no. Far to expensive when there’s two hundred children waiting for some food, and some bedding, and gods if someone else could just get a bed to sleep on, or even a place that wasn’t the floor- 
Has anyone considered that might have stopped the fucking war?
Or: time travel escapades lead Luke Castellan to be a little less bitter, and things- things go better- somewhat. 
Drew Tanaka, Connor Stoll, and Malcolm Pace travel back in time to just after Luke Castellan returns from his quest– Alone. 
___________________
Rewind, Rewind (I Remember That Night)
Characters reading the books fanfiction, will hopefully span from the start of PJO to the end of TOA. Minor character discrepancy.
"There's something worse coming. Isn't there? That's why we're here. Because something worse is going to happen-- again? You're doing this to us again? Three times. Three times we've fought for you-- when is it enough?" The figure still encloaked in shadows bitterly called towards the ceiling.
At once, like the hissing of snakes, like every sound in the world at once, the three fates rasped out, "Do not lecture us, child of the gods, of Athena and Hecate, this is the ONLY thing left..."
The figure did not recoil, and stood firm, "What is it this time? It was Kronos, then Gaea, then the emperors and Python... What's next? Ouranos? Khaos? What can't we recover from?" Behind him, the other campers whispered in shock and horror, but the boy didn't stop glaring at them.

what do u think ab an au where the vp takes in kids with radiant abilities to train them as the "future" of valorant
this idea's kinda scuffed af bc idk much ab the lore actually i'm still confused ab kingdom n earth but i just want an excuse to see the agents babysitting chaotic kids with powers LMAOAoadjdj
IM NOT GONNA LIE THAT WOULD SOUND SUPER CUTE LMAO RADIANT BABY DAYCARE,,,, also this is a perfect excuse to put my headcanons about which of the agents are the best with kids
parents. like, literal parents dude
brimstone. he is the first immediate thing that comes to mind when i think of parenting. i mean look at the way he talks to the rest of the agents, you can't tell me he won't do well with kids
CYPHER!!! bro cypher would LOVE kids,,,,i hc he was really excited to be a dad but nora kinda died with his unborn baby so,, yknow he has that yearning feeling and he kinda projects that nature onto the younguns. he may be super secretive and shifty but you can tell he cares for them and would love to have children running around the base
sage!! sage radiates this energy of warmth and comfort and security, you'll always feel safe with her so she'd be wonderful with children :]] she won't hesitate to be strict if needed though so just make sure to stay on her good side unless,,, "YOUR HOMEWORK IS NOT OVER!!!"
reyna. surprisingly. although she isn't as much a parent as the rest of them, she wILL break someone's arm for a kid. she may be very murderous but kids might be her soft spot (glances vaguely at her little sister)
tbh i see her as the kind of caretaker that'll let her kid do awful things lmao
"miss reyna can i say a curse word ple a se ,,,"
"of course, cariño."
"FUCK!!!!"
okay at it/awkward but trying
omen. omen isn't sure how to interact with children,,,, like, i headcanon he scares them away a lot
if one of them happens to be NOT scared?? *immediately imprints*
i think the most he'd do while watching over children is just sit there with his knitting needles and grunt Menacingly whenever they start causing trouble
viper. viper also scares kids away, understandably so, but she does have this maternal nature despite her scary aura (exhibit a: duality)
i headcanon she actually dislikes children and tries to avoid them as much as possible but will be incREDIBLY protective if they're threatened
yoru. he finds kids annoying. but if he were put in a situation where he HAD to keep an eye on them he'd probably try
just a little bit
as a treat
he'll call them brats or something lmAO what a bitch
unless one of them calls him cool and feeds his ego
then yeah he'll love them lol
imagine yoru going into his rift and picking the kid up to make it look like they're flying
a parent? maybe not, it's really not something on his list of ideals. but a big brother figure? sure! it means he gets to bully tease children to his heart’s content
sova. sova is okay at babysitting. he’s very quiet though so the kids usually get bored with him
he’s quick to straighten them up if they’re misbehaving
maybe he’ll tell fairy tales about the mountains or something
*deep thick russian voice* “When I was still living with my babushka in the frigid mountains of the North,”
babysitters at most
jett. jett seems like the cool babysitter who lets you do anything and everything lmao,, stay up past your bedtime?? sure thing. snacks before dinner?? hell yeah. you want her to show you her cool spinny wind trick?? of course!!
raze! raze gives off the vibes of the girl next door who everyone in the neighborhood knows and loves. she probably hung out with the kids in her town a lot and would draw with them, make music with them, etc. very big sister vibes 10/10 just don't let her have explosives around them
ASTRA!!! astra astra astra i bet she’d be the type to give piggy back rides and make little stardust confetti to wow them with!! she’ll sing songs and read stories and maybe do little puppet shows for them  
skye would do great with kids! she’s strong enough to catch up to them during vigorous games of tag and she’d let them pet her tiger
her animals love the kids too
imagine taz lying on his back as they pet his belly and hawko perching on top of their heads
haha! *slowly pulls them away from the children*
breach. i dont know about you guys but if you left him with a kid he would lose them in like 1.5 minutes
“what? they’re tiny, you think i’d notice?”
bro he is such a fucking bully he’d punt a kid across a football field
i guess he’d let them sit on his giant bionic shoulders but thats it
phoenix.
says he has it under control
does NOT have it under control
“alright, fam! leave it to me, i can handle some younguns-”
*burns down the entire hq after trying to show them a trick*
killjoy. bro she would use them for her experiments without batting an eye
“KILLJOY WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE KIDS”
“testing the sensor range of my turret!! :DD relax, it won’t hurt them- they’re wearing helmets!”
“KILLJOY THEY’RE WRAPPED IN BUBBLE WRAP I DON’T THINK THAT’S HUMANE”
kay/o.
i dunno man i don’t think he’d even know what to do with kids
also he might accidentally break their spine if they wanted a hug lmao
he won’t hurt them on purpose but this is just,,,a safety measure
k would do great with kids though :]] big friendly guy

Oh wait some thoughts on how power operates in the PJO world (not in general Greek mythology don’t come at me)
VERY fascinating to explore the difference in how power is perceived by gods/demigods, in the sense of intrinsic supernatural ability vs. the power of respect and mythologized “political” position (so to speak),
The reason that Zeus and Poseidon’s kids, while obviously being feared, are also clearly revered is not because of how powerful their fathers are in terms of elemental powers, BUT because of their powerful position on the council. Compare this to Hades’s children, who are not revered, while being just as powerful because HADES is not respected among the gods in the same way! (except in the ranks of chthonic gods like Hecate and Hypnos! To whom Hades is in a position of relative power over them! And in turn we see how differently Hazel and Nico’s powers are perceived by them/their kids.).
And you’ve got the hierarchy of power at Camp Half Blood before Percy’s arrival—without the Big Three kids, the most impressive (supernatural) powers you could find were magical metalworking, or magical lock picking or glowing people. All small change compared to the sheer elemental powers that the Big Three Kids possess. So obviously the hierarchy placed more importance on battle skills which was why Ares, Athena, Apollo cabins had an “edge” of sorts over say Hermes or Hephaestus cabins whose parents were more of craftsmen gods. Demeter kids are given their due only in ToA, and even then its the attribute of Demeter of the Golden Sword that makes Meg truly deadly.
The prime example of this is Luke who fought his way by (unconventionally as an Hermes kid) proving himself in sword fighting before he established himself by raising an army with his charisma and aligning himself with Kronos who is not only the most powerful Titan, but also the King of them all, who can bring the rest of the Titans into line.
There was an overhaul in that structure with the introduction of Percy and Thalia, and later Nico (+Bianca) with the powers they possessed which is why everyone FREAKS THE FUCK OUT when they fight, or why the gods want them killed. But even then you have Thalia and Percy who are acknowledged and are seen to have the opportunity of being “honed” vs. Nico who’s left to his own devices
In HOO it’s not executed well lmao but I still have a little fondness for the way it translated and evolved because, like, the concept was there. We see a lack of the same reverence for Percy in Camp Jupiter because it placed importance on Jupiter and Mars (collective strength after all) than Neptune—he gets shunted to the side not because he’s not impressive but because of who his father is and he earns that awe later on by showcasing his power.
You’ve got Jason who’s considered powerful pretty much by everyone, because of his powers of course but ESPECIALLY because of who his dad is, and it’s what he has to grapple with in his whole arc (kinda). You’ve got Hazel who‘s equally (or actually more) powerful than the rest of the Big Three, and it is a power most acknowledged in Underworld circles (Hecate, Pasiphae) because THEY are the ones to whom this power is relevant in both senses of sheer ability as well as power in position.
Even when you consider the rest of them—you’ve got Frank and Reyna, children of war gods who are very important to the Romans. Not to mention the idea of family gifts from gods that you dabble in with both their stories, and the sort of “dynastic power” and power drawn from the people you are a leader for (very literally in Reyna’s case!).
You’ve got Piper who’s mother is older than all the Olympians, but hasn’t ever got her due, and you’ve got her power (which at times can function as a deus ex machine because of the way it’s written, but regardless) which is underestimated by everyone and hence for a little while even by Piper herself, because it’s difficult to give power to a weapon unless you believe in its power.
which leaves the last two of the Seven, who imo also present the most interesting questions on what power is in this universe:
Leo—it’s very interesting to have someone as clever and creative as Leo have fire as his power, because firstly the myth of Prometheus and how Leo seeks to do what nobody else has done over and over again? Love the repeating motif of fire is destructive but it is also constructive, it matters on the wielder, that we get in his storyline. Also the whole taming fire thing he has going on? He’s also the lynchpin of the prophecy so I don’t feel it’s too much of an illogical overpowering of his character (nor di feel this with Frank and Piper) because we ARE reading about the most special demigods of the millennium!!
AND THEN ANNABETH. Annabeth has no powers, and she calls herself the weakest of the Seven—and while obviously she is wily enough to get herself out of whichever situation it is and it’s not a knock on her—it is true. She’s powerless in the traditional sense, but she offers an interesting example of the way power operates with relevance to reputation a la her mother Athena, because she is That Goddess in Greek Mythology who everyone reveres and fears especially due to her position of being Zeus’s right hand woman. But how does that translate when you don’t have an army to lead? When you’re not a general of an army but a teenager and alone. It’s the stark difference we see in pjo vs. hoo in regards to Annabeth’s character because she’s alone without an army or friends, and has to learn how to use her wits solely by herself in MOA. (Also the whole thing about Minerva not being as respected in Camp Jupiter? And how that influences Annabeth’s welcome?)
also this is not translated into text at all, but I wonder about the non-council gods like Hypnos and Hecate and Thanatos and Morpheus, who have kids with incredible powers I’m sure, but due to being ignored do not have the same respect/clout (for lack of a better term). They may outstrip Athena kids when it comes to sheer ability, but also they are on the fringes. It’s why they rally against the major gods in TLO. You have only as much power as you are given by your worshippers.
Because in the end, that’s the crux of the gods’ existence in pjo isn’t it? They are weakened due to their lack of worshippers. Chiron says this way back in TLT. The power of belief. Helios and Selene fade because people stopped attributed importance to them. It’s what Echidna says to Percy way back in the Lightning Thief, do you have faith in the gods? die you faithless one and Percy has to hold his breath and jump to save himself. It’s what he had to do over and over, unfortunately, because that’s the fate of a hero. It’s what saves the gods, the power he puts in them.
It also circles back in TOA. The emperors keep themselves alive through memory and relevance of their power (absolutely thrilling implication of Nero being a billionaire, the modern emperor. What’s that Ursula K Le Guin quote? people believed in the divine right of kings and now they believe in the power of ceos. They make themselves gods because of their cult of personality.
Inthe end, the way power is posited to work is based on the respect given to it, not really the elemental powers. Which is kind of awesome if handled well! (which it wasn’t unfortunately). Because where do the gods’ powers lie? In the mythology of belief. In the end, in the books, it’s not whether the gods control the elements that makes them truly powerful, it’s whether people believe they control them.

heroes of olympus ranked by the saddest/worst childhoods:
(my opinion. you don’t have to agree, that’s okay).
1. HAZEL - i think this is self explanatory. black girl in southern america in the 30s, bullied badly. then watched her mother get possessed by the earth mother, father didn’t care, forced to move on her thirteenth birthday to alaska. was repeatedly told she was a bad, sick child. then was forced to do unspeakable things by marie/gaea, used her powers to make a body for a giant, then had no other choice but to kill herself and her mother to stop gaea from rising. THEN gave up elysium so her mother wouldn’t get the field of punishment. in the Son of Neptune, during one of her backstories, Hazel says, “Hazel felt as if she were expanding to the breaking point, just like that spire in the pit. Her misery would soon become to great to hold inside, and her skin would shatter.” excuse me while i go and sob 😭
2. Reyna - girl her backstory is so fucking sad. watched her dad become insane and paranoid. her dad collected weapons and turned their house into a fortress, and locked her in her room, and when she and her sister would sneak out and get caught, he would throw furniture and yell at them. then he becomes convinced that reyna and hylla are the enemy. ghosts of her ancestors would watch reyna from afar (creepy af). then julian becomes a mania and after they snuck out one day, reyna was TEN, julian got so angry he started glowing, ripping up their house and threw a chair at hylla. reyna then thought her sister was dead as it knocked her unconscious, then had no choice but to kill her own father. a ghost appeared before her and taunted her, telling her she would never flee her crime and never forget her past, calling her a murderer and traitor. then she went to circe’s island and that got destroyed by yours truly percy jackson and annabeth chase, then she was kidnapped by the pirates (who did gods knows what to her) for months and then managed to escape. then she and her sister parted ways after all those years together where they had no one but each other. okay, maybe reyna should be number one.
3. Nico - lots of people would think he needs to be 1, but i don’t think so, and i’m talking about backstories only. he saw his mother walk into a hotel and then watched it explode after it got struck by lightning. then he got his memory wiped and then they were left with a bank trust and a lawyer would come in to check them every once in a while. oh, and then he got stuck in the lotus hotel for seventy years, which they only thought was a month. then westover hall. then bianca dies. yeah.
4. Jason - ugh this boy. his mother left him at the wolf house and told him that she’d be back, but never was. so jason, a little two year old boy, was left crying in the ruins and yelling for his mom and thalia. he was then taken in by wolves (can you imagine how scary that must’ve been for a little boy?) and was raised and trained like a roman soldier. there was no weakness. he wasn’t allowed to, or else he would be eaten alive. yeah. then he made it to camp jupiter and was offered first cohort for being a son of jupiter but denied it. he befriended the least popular kids and went on the least glamorous quests, but was still considered a prince and had everyone’s eyes on him from such a young age. he spent twelve years in the legion and was always the leader. then he led the assault on mount othrys and defeated the titan krios with hand to hand combat, and toppled kronos’s throne. this isn’t tragic, but what is tragic is that he and the legion never got a thanks from the gods.
5. Leo - his fucking nanny tia callida laid him in an actual fire pit and sang him lullabies like some sort of psychopath. and tia callida gave him knives when he was three. she told him to poke a rattlesnake in the grass with a stick (oh that’s super smart for a four year old boy to do). his cousin raphael bullied him. his aunt rosa made him eat with dead people. then, when trying to hurt gaea, she made him angry and made his hands catch on fire. leo fell into a rage and tried to save himself and his mother, but accidentally killed his mother and burned her alive. and then his aunt rosa turned his entire family against him (called him the devil) and told the social care workers to take him away and stuffed him into foster care. he was bullied badly and would run away from his foster care homes and, when he was in between foster homes, would sleep under an actual bridge.
6. Annabeth - since she was a demigod, annabeth was a target for monsters which caused constant fighting between her dad and her stepmother who felt like she was putting everyone (as in her two twin stepsiblings) in danger. she was assaulted by spiders, her worst fear, for three days each night as a seven year old girl. she would scream for her father but he was never there and her stepmother didn’t believe her. as a seven year old girl, she believed her family hates her, so she ran away and smashed monsters with a hammer with the guidance of her immortal mother for MONTHS. then she was taken in by luke and thalia and they became her family. then they found grover and were chased by monsters sent from hades, who was looking to kill thalia for revenge. grover took wrong turns and led them into a cyclops lair on accident. then the cyclops lured everyone except annabeth, who stabbed one of the cyclops in the foot. the group was chased by a pack of hellhounds and all three furies on their way to half-blood hill. she was forced to watch thalia be overran by monsters and killed and dragged away by luke. she heard the great prophecy when she was ten and had nightmares about it because chiron told her she “would have a big part to play”, and that brings us to tlt. damn.
7. Percy - strangled a snake at a day care center when he was two (this is pretty traumatic). was bullied and abused by his stepfather from a very young age and had to watch his mother be in an awful relationship. was bullied badly by other people. he was in military academies where they believed “paddling is good for the soul.” he was stalked by a cyclops in the third grade.
8. Frank - his mother died in a military accident and was then raised by his grandmother. he was then told, at his mother’s funeral, that his whole entire life depends on this little piece of fire wood that if burned, he would literally fall over dead. then, that same evening, he was told he was going to be shipped off to wolves and then to camp jupiter (if he survived its trials ofc).
9. Piper - she fell off a horse when she was six and drove past a meat processing place that made her sick 😭 (this is a joke). but for real, her rich super star dad avoided her and didn’t pay any attention to her, which caused her to act out. she was bullied for being cherokee. and then she finds out months of her life was just a trick of the mist and that her boyfriend doesn’t actually like her at all? sad man.

Okay, so @whythefuckdoiexist gave me an ask about Frankercy Headcanons, I believe, but because of my stupid fingers, I accidentally deleted it. Anyway, here are some of my Frankercy Headcanons. I know they’re not great but yeah.
Frankercy is the duo who get together fairly quickly. You wouldn’t think that because Percy can be quite oblivious to his own emotions, but I like to think that they get attached pretty fast. Like, I swear to God, the instant they meet in Son Of Neptune, they are a ride-or-die dynamic. Some random kid goes up to them with a lady in his arms? Fight the monsters chasing them. Same kid is getting interrogated by Reyna? Stand up for him. That same damn kid needs someone to look out for him? Immediately volunteer to help.
Percy loves to make Frank blush. It’s one of his favorite things to do. Through small moments, Percy starts to bring Frank’s confidence up. This little headcanon stems from this moment in Son Of Neptune:
“What about you, Frank?”
“Archery,” he muttered. “They don’t like that either, unless you’re a child of Apollo. Then you’ve got an excuse. I hope my dad is Apollo, but I don’t know. I can’t do poetry very well. And I’m not sure I want to be related to Octavian.”
“Can’t blame you,” Percy said. “But you’re excellent with the bow—the way you pegged those gorgons? Forget what other people think.”
Frank’s face turned as red as Dakota’s Kool-Aid.
Poseidon LOVES Frank. (Of course, to Poseidon, anyone’s kid would be better than Athena’s spawn.) Frank tries to be respectful, but Poseidon loves teasing him and joking around with him.
Frank also gets along with Paul and Sally great. Of course, Sally nearly gives him a heart attack when she makes a very risky joke in front of him (Percy gets some of his humor from Sally, I don’t give a fuck) and she reduces him to a stuttering mess.
Percy hates that he’s dating the son of the war god, but learns to tolerate it. I mean, it’s Mars not Ares, but they both still totally suck, okay. Poor Frank just wants his dad and his boyfriend to stop glaring at each other.
Frank and Percy are really overprotective over one another. Percy hates the thought of losing someone else. He has nightmares a lot. He doesn’t get clingy, but sometimes he gets the irrational urge that if he takes his eyes of someone, they’ll turn into dust or leave or worse.
As for Frank? Sometimes when they watch a movie and Percy falls asleep on him (which he does every time cause he is one sleepy boy and he can’t fall asleep without someone else at his back because he needs to feel safe), Frank has the urge to wrap Percy in blankets and just take away somewhere where the Gods can’t touch them (of course, he can’t because they’ll never be able to escape the gods and fuck, it hurts thinking about the fact that none of them will ever get happy endings).
Frank and Percy are impossible to win against because (A) they’re powerful as fuck and (B) they’re brilliant strategists. So, if they end up teaming up at Capture The Flag, the other side is inevitably going to lose.
They’re not one for PDA, but when they’re alone, they love to cuddle. (It’s their way of reassuring the other that they’re there and they’re not going away any time soon) Sometimes Percy wakes up with a bulldog lying on his chest and all he can do is laugh.
Hazel maintains that she was the first one to start rooting for them, because she was there for the beginning of the ship, guys.
Frank gets used to Percy because he’s a n easygoing guy, which means that sometimes he forgets what a powerhouse Percy is, but then he gets reminded when they’re up against a monster. Frank doesn’t feel fear, but awe. His boyfriend is amazing! This headcanon stems from this moment in Son Of Neptune:
Then Percy Jackson had arrived.
Sure, Frank had seen kids fight monsters before. He’d fought plenty of them himself on his journey from Vancouver. But he’d never seen gorgons. He’d never seen a goddess in person. And the way Percy had controlled the Little Tiber—wow.
Anyway, I just love them so much because they respect and love one another so much and I think that their friendship deserves the world. Thanks for the ask!

Prompt: how about tom and y/n are co-stars and tom celebrates his bday while they’re filming 725 words This is for @hollandsrecs' birthday fic fest x
the ones italicized are the movie scenes
Tumblr media
You and Tom were stars of a new movie. Both of you were acting as siblings, Alexandra and Ashton Moore, trying to set up your dad with the pretty waitress at the restaurant they always go to, so that he could leave their cruel step-mom. You became best friends instantly and both of you bonded over funny videos and theater. Knowing that it was Tom’s birthday, all of you decided to surprise him in the middle of shooting. It was all planned out and Harry was in on it too.
You and Tom were shooting an argument scene between your characters and the plan was, you were going to go off-script which will leave Tom confused. Then when he asks what’s going on, you’ll break character and everyone will sing ‘happy birthday’ while Harry comes in with a cake. It was easy. You just hoped that you could pull it off.
“Everyone, ready?” The director looked at you and you nodded. “Alright. And… action!”
“Alex, that was so stupid!” Ashton yelled. “If you only followed what I told you, none of this wouldn’t have happened!”
“Hey, how was I supposed to know that my whole plan would fuck up?!” Alex retorted.
“You don’t think at all, that’s why! Where’s your brain at lately?! Because I don’t see you using it. Sometimes I think I’m the only one who has working brains in this family.” Ashton said, causing Alex to tear up.
“You know, you don’t have to say hurtful shit to me. I get that you’re mad and I’m sorry I fucked up, but what you said crossed the line. I don’t want to talk to you.” Alex cried.
Ashton, being the stubborn guy he is, scoffed and said, “I don’t want to talk to you either.”
In the script, you and Tom are supposed to stay in different parts of the house. You were going to stay in the kitchen and Tom will stay in his room and the only time he’ll leave his room is when you’ll leave the house.
Seeing as it’s Tom’s birthday, you won’t do any of that. Instead, you’ll call him down to eat lunch with you and when he goes downstairs, the dining room will be set up with a lot of food and a banner that says ‘Happy Birthday, Tom!’. Then Harry will come in with the cake.
“Okay, go!” The director whispered and you nodded.
“Ashton! It’s lunch time. I don’t care if you’re mad at me.” Alex shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
Tom, who was in ‘his room’, looked confused. ‘That’s not on the script.’ Tom thought to himself. ‘But maybe Y/N has an angle on this scene.’
“I’m not hungry!” Ashton shouted.
“I said come down here and eat lunch with me! Don’t be so difficult!” Alex yelled. “Don’t make me go up there.”
“Nice try, you’re not mom.” Ashton shook his head, even though he knew Alex wouldn’t see him.
“Just come here!”
Ashton gets up from his bed and stays at the top of the stairs. “What the fuck is wrong with you?! I told you that I’m not hungry!”
“We’re going to eat whether you like it or not!” Alex storms up the stairs and holds his hand as they walk down the stairs to lead him to the dining area.
“Alex, I’m not-”
“Happy Birthday, Tom!!”
Tom’s jaw drops as he sees everything. “Aw, you guys! Thank you so much!”
Harry comes in with a cake and the candle was already lit. “Happy birthday to you~” Harry started singing, causing Tom to laugh as soon as he saw his brother.
When the song was over, Harry was standing beside Tom with the cake. “Make a wish, Tom.” You smiled sweetly. He glanced at you and gave you a small smile before turning to the cake and closing his eyes for a while to make a wish.
He blew the candle and everyone clapped. “Thank you all so much!” Tom said with a big grin.
“Y/N planned it. We just helped.” Harry confessed. Tom turned to you and you shrugged.
“It’s my best friend’s birthday. I gotta make it special somehow.” You chuckled.
“You’re heaven sent, thank you.” Tom hugged you and you hugged back. It was a quick hug, but it was still special.
“Let’s eat!”

Tower of Nero first thoughts
What, you think having to be at work in a few hours could keep me from downing this thing in one go? 
Honestly, every little detail about Meg’s upbringing is just another layer in the seven-layer dip of RAGE
Sally and Paul being fully prepared to help with god stuff on short notice, they’re such good people I love them so much
Green eyes, Paul’s hair? I’m liking these implications
Now, that I think of it, didn’t Magnus also have a little bit of an “Estelle as representative of everything I have a duty to protect” thing going on in Ship of the Dead? I guess that officially makes this the EBLU: Estelle Blofis Literary Universe.
Wait a second, did Sally give Lu one of Gabe’s old shirts?
“this bitch a barbarian. YEET!”
Apollo and Dionysus have such “grown siblings who still don’t get along but mutually hate our dad” energy
CHIRON CANONICALLY HAS AVENGER INITIATIVE MEETINGS WITH BAST AND MIMIR WHAT THE FUCK
I love that Dionysus drops the “forgetting everyone’s name” bit as soon as Percy’s left the state. We stan a petty bitch.
Will in a towel? Will fresh out of the shower? Will with a tattoo? 
Apollo and Will standing around in states of undress which it is noted would make hugging awkward? I feel not just seen, but actively targeted.
Will is canonically a star wars nerd
Evil unstoppable cows 
OH MY FUCKING GOD HE GLOWS RICK PLEASE STOP I CANNOT TAKE ALL OF THIS IN ONE BOOK.
I agree, hats are a mark of civilization.
Fuck Nero. Fuuuuuuuck Nero
Hera’s been mourning for Jason, which makes sense. He’s the closest she’s ever had to a halfblood child of her own, and they seem to have been, if not close, than mutually respectful.
Also pointing out that once again, the gods are sitting around not doing anything.
I would just like to point out that Hestia has been on the council before, it’s not like you couldn’t just get her to do it.
Of course Python is the ultimate big bad. One scrawny teenage failboat against an abomination from the dawn of time, that’s Riordan’s work in a nutshell.
I don’t think Zeus is as maliciously awful a parent as Nero, but he still sucks pretty hard, and I don’t blame Apollo one bit for not really wanting anything to do with him
Ah, Piper getting a girlfriend. I know some people feel like it’s a deliberate dig at the vocal fans who wanted canonically queer Reyna, “look, here’s your WLW heroine, now shut up”, but I don’t see it that way. Even back in HoO, a good chunk of Reyna’s personal arc is about how one doesn’t need a romantic relationship to find fulfillment, and while you could interpret that as her realizing that it’s specifically men she doesn’t need, romantic pursuit for Reyna was always something she undertook on her own initiative. Piper was the one who was literally edited into a prearranged, artificial relationship without her consent, and this feels way more like course correction for that—in and out of universe—than it does  an uncharacteristically mean-spirited retaliation for some annoying messages on twitter.
I do dig the “where are they now” montage. If the franchise ends here I’d be pretty satisfied.
And if not, “Nico and Will’s Bogus Journey”  and “Crisis on Infinite Pantheons” will no doubt be entertaining.
I really like the ongoing theme in this series about how separate Gods are from mortals, and how experiencing that separation from the other side has profoundly changed Apollo. It’s like the four hobbits at the end of Return of the King. He’s back in his “proper” place, but he’s no longer the person he was when he left. Even if he’s not Lester anymore, the old Apollo’s gone too.

Well. I’ve gotten quite the reactions to my hot takes//unpopular opinions. So here’s part two! For everyone new, here’s part one!
Percy radiates the blandest straight energy. I don’t see why you people think he’s bi
Hazel > Frank > (Leo > Piper) > Jason and that’s that story (Leo and Piper can switch positions)
Everyone giving Percy some heat for not realizing that Annabeth had a crush on him is fucking stupid. Shit is going down, he’s an insecure boy who got a lot of flag in a very short time by everyone in his environment and you think he’s supposed to dive nose deep into some coochie? Damn y’all are some horny bastards
People that still bash on Perachel (and I’m saying that as a hardcore Percabeth shipper) and harass those shippers should just walk out of the fandom
Hazel‘s background story is a gigantic fucking mess and should have been kept in the drafts
All the godships (Caleo, that whole Walt/Sadie/Anubis thing) across all series are trash
Jason’s death in TOA was cheap as fuck. He should’ve died in HOO and not as a side character in another bland sequel
People that don’t realize that Paul magically doesn’t erase/fix the abuse that Percy and Sally have suffered from are... fun. More on my stance on Paul here
Leo was always fucking annoying but pre-MOA Leo is someone we can deal with
Percy is the only dude with a beard and chest hair. Everyone else looks like they’ve glued three pubic hairs into their faces
Making Piper rely on the white man is a huge fucking no
The fact that every important kid/protagonist is a descendant from one of the 12 Olympians and not a kid from a minor god in the follow up series proves that neither the gods nor Rick Riordan have changed. Luke’s funky ass proves that even Riordan’s a douche in that regard
If you think that Percy is going to disrespect Sally in her own house by doing some intricate cooch research with Annabeth you are fucking mistaken
The musical as wonderful as it may be, isn’t canon. It’s another artist‘s interpretation of a work. Riordan giving it a thumbs up doesn’t mean jack. Using the musical as an argument is meh at best
People that ask in 2020 why Riordan‘s works are problematic are the same people that type ’Google‘ into Google
I can’t stress this enough but Annabeth’s favorite song is Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith
Pretty sure Annabeth’s hair equals a rats nest 90% of the time. Princess curls where? Is she hindering missions because she isn’t done with deep conditioning? Bitch is a walking mess!
The fact that both Underworld kids are time travelers that just seem to manage modern times all too fine is fucking stupid
Also people that are forgetting that Nico is Italian, not Italian-American are tiring. The likelihood of him understanding racial issues of Italians in the US are next to none
Also a bunch of people have accents and slang which would’ve made everything funnier
Riordan really loves to make his latinx characters bland and awful, huh?
Too many people lack basic reading skills part II
The fact that people are seriously fighting over the pronunciation of a shipping name/neologism is pathetic to the max. Pronounce it however you want. Who gives a shit? People disagreeing on something doesn’t hinder you in any way
On that note, Percabeth is an awful ship name. Why not choose Seaweed Brain? It was already there. It was a given. It was sweet and easy to digest
The only iconic female performer that Percy willingly listens to is Her Majesty Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
Meg is fucking annoying, more so than Leo
Same goes for Lavinia
Same goes for Alex Fierro from the bits I’ve read
The scavengerhunt plot that Riordan set up to mark Hera as the evil queen is the messiest and dumbest plot device of HOO. Periodt
Cecil Markowitz‘ portrayal is fucking racist
Same goes for Julia Feingold
Same goes for Samirah Al-Abbas
Hades would’ve never had kids outside of his marriage. Sorry team Nico & Bianca
The Trials of Apollo are so forgettable and bland I can’t recollect anything that happened apart from Jason being turned into kebab and missing lesbian rights for Reyna
Classisists coming for Riordan are morons at best. This series is meant for kids. As shitty as the gods are portrayed (and we all agree that the portrayal could’ve been waaaay better) there’s only so much one can do for a middle school audience. Also the gods aren’t the focus of the series. Shouldn’t you be happier about the fact that Riordan gets more kids interested in Greek Mythology?
On that note, Poseidon is a piece of shit and not the cool dad
Hellenistic polytheists have more reasons to be offended as Riordan bashed their views on their religion (sorry guys)
Everyone who is trying to erase Grover as Percy’s best friend deserves to get hit with a deadly chancla
That also goes for everyone that has no issues with applying racist canon to fanart (Piper with feathers, light eyes for poc, giving Annabeth Trump‘s tanning treatment)
Annabeth Chase is white
Percy and Jason aren’t friends. Idgaf.
Realistically speaking Thalia would’ve immediately dipped the hunters after Kronos funky ass got defeated
Pretty sure you would be able to smell a demigod from a mile away. When do these stinky bastards have the time to take a shower?
Annabeth needs some therapy with a focus on managing her aggressive outbursts. That judo flip wasn’t cute. The fuck.
Apart from that I still stan bold, unapologetical asshole Annabeth
Why are all the kids either dead poor or fucking millionaires? Does the middle class not exist? Will the next series in the Riordanverse be about the struggles of capitalism?
The tattoos from Camp Jupiter make absolutely no sense as Romans thought that tattoos are barbaric. And no, saying it’s a modern spin is fucking stupid especially when New Rome is build with the old rules, principles and ways in mind. Slave branding your child soldiers is a fucking no from me
New Rome having fucking child soldiers
The fact that all protagonists basically jump onto the praetor‘s position in little to no time is stupid. Why place the rule that you have to work your way up in the first place when you basically can just toss nickels at passerby’s and get the spot?
The Tower of Nero will be worse than Blood Of Olympus

heaven's gate, part two - morning mulling (john b routledge)
john b routledge x reyna lance
tw; a little smutty?, morning after shit
part two; hungover reyna can’t possibly seem to hate her one night stand, no matter how hard she tries.
a/n -- this is just fuckin chaos rn lmaooo nobody’s doing anything productive
×××
reyna was no stranger to waking up with random people she didn't know.
there was a warm ray of sunlight on her face, which was what ultimately woke the girl up. the headache she had hit her before she even opened her eyes, her body aching and her head pounding. as she took a deep breath and opened her eyes, she realized she wasn't in her bedroom. wasn't in a bedroom at all, actually. rather, in the back of some ratty van, curled up across a seat. sitting up, what had been covering most of her body fell from her chest, leaving her exposed. she quickly pulled it back up, glancing around.
nobody was there.
the material that had been covering her looked like an unbuttoned hawaiian shirt, sprawled across her body. unfortunately, on the floor of the van, she saw only her shorts and panties she'd been wearing the night before. reyna had to assume that it was better than nothing as she pulled them back on, buttoning up the shirt that had been on top of her in replacement for her own. while this ensamble didn't leave much for the imagination, it wasn't like anything reyna wore otherwise was any better.
she opened the van door, climbing out and closing it behind her. this was definitely not the boneyard, and it was definitely not figure eight.
"nice to see you up, sunshine." reyna heard a voice from a few feet away, and turned to see a familiar face.
john b. his face, and voice, quickly had her remembering the night before. he was laying in a hammock, which was a ways away from a dockside house.
reyna didn't respond to him at first, dragging her hands through her hair as she looked at him. "how the fuck did you drive me here without me realizing?"
"you're a heavy sleeper, i guess. that, or i was just so good, you had to recharge after." he answered her, a teasing smile on his face as he admired the girl standing in his yard. "don't worry, we got here, like, twenty minutes ago. you didn't miss much."
"good," reyna nodded, ignoring his first few comments. "and i just... fucking, passed out last night? in your van?"
john b chuckled, getting out of the hammock. "not just in my van, in my arms, but yeah. we had a nice talk before that, though."
"we did?" reyna wasn't too philosophical when she was completely drunk and in that post-sex haze.
"no, i'm kidding," he laughed once more, shaking his head as he walked towards reyna. "you hungry?"
"are you just trying to get me to come inside?" she didn't seem to impressed by anything he was saying. he was kind of an ass, but to be fair, he was hot. and honestly, that was just reyna's type, so there was no surprise in the fact that she hooked up with him in his van, of all places.
"yes or no, sunshine." he didn't answer her question, only giving her options so that she could answer his.
"yeah, sure, yes." she brushed it off, yawning as he passed by to lead her towards the door.
the way his shorts hung rather low on his hips had reyna feeling what she must've felt the night before. not to mention, the fact that she could see her own marks she'd left on his neck and chest had her feeling the same. his lack of shirt was doing something to her, and she was almost embarrassed by that.
god, since when did she hang with pogues? since when did reyna lance, kook of the century, fuck a well known pogue?
"why are you being so nice to me?" she asked as he held his front door open for her, pulling her hair over her shoulder.
"like, just right now, or last night? and if last night, early last night, or when you were sitting on my-"
"all of the above, excluding when i was naked." she interrupted him, shaking her head. she didn't really want him to rub it in her face.
"alright, well," he closed the door once she was inside, walking her into his kitchen. "it was fun to watch you get drunk for no reason. i mean, since when do you drink anything that topper thornton doesn't give you?" john b joked, earning nothing short of a sour look from reyna. "and... you don't suck, i guess."
she gave him a confused expression, "i don't suck?"
"no, like, you're... bearable."
"bearable?"
"okay, well, if you keep repeating what i say, you won't be so bearable. you want cheerios?" he shut her up, turning to face her when he pulled a box out of the cabinet. 
reyna rolled her eyes at his first statement, shrugging when he asked what she wanted. "i'm lactose intolerant."
"i never said you had to have milk." john b shook his head as if reyna was being unreasonable. 
she scoffed, leaning on the kitchen table. "okay, i take back what i said earlier, you're kind of being a dick."
"what, you want me to kick you out and let you walk back to the boneyard for your car? also, how does toast sound?" john b put the box of cereal back, giving the girl a fed up look.
"toast is fine," she finally answered, watching as he threw some bread in the toaster before turning around to face her.
while reyna wanted nothing more than to hate the boy, in all actuality, he was pretty hard to hate. he wasn't a total asshole - and if he was being a dick, he had a good reason. of course, reyna being reyna, she considered her being there a fine reason. she was shamelessly checking him out, eyes skimming over the skin she'd been pressed against the night before. 
"you just decided to... what, throw on my shirt when you woke up?" he asked, pushing himself off of the counter to make his way towards her.
she glanced down at her own figure, running her hand over the fabric of his shirt. "you were the one who left it on top of me," she brought her gaze back to the boy approaching her.
"well," john b looked her up and down once more before meeting her eyes, his own body mere inches from hers, "you look... good in it." he took the liberty of placing his hand on her hip, the other hand snaking under the shirt and meeting her covered skin.
"you looked better," she breathed, head turned slightly upward to get a better look at him. she didn't mind his touch, it was rather reassuring to know that under all of what seemed to be hatred for her was some... lust, at least.
he pushed her up so that she was sitting on the table rather than leaning on it, connecting their lips once more. his hands traveled across her body, and she wasn't opposed to a single thing he was doing. it was hard to hate him.
just as she three her head back so that he could have more access to her neck as his lips skimmed over her jaw, the toast popped. "fuck," reyna breathed as john b removed his hands from her body and walked back towards the toaster.
"bold of you to assume i'm just gonna... keep hooking up with you," john b thought out loud, putting the toast on two plates before opening his fridge.
"why is that bold? was i that bad?" reyna joked, trying to get a legitimate reason out of him.
john b shook his head, a dumbfounded smile on his face as he turned to look at her, "you can't tell me you can't figure it out on your own." 
reyna shook her head, eyebrows furrowed. he didn't seem to be joking, he looked like he genuinely thought she was dumb.
"let's see, i'd have topper, kelce, rafe, sarah, cynthia, ryland, hunter, and like, a million other kooks burning my house down." he laughed while naming every kook he could think of, shaking his head as he looked back towards his fridge. "not to mention sean fucking lance, so, hard pass." 
"please," reyna rolled her eyes, "topper? sure, be scared of him. kelce too, but i don't know kelce super well. rafe just offers me coke whenever i see him at a party. sarah's... uh, my best friend's girlfriend, i don't know what she'd do. cynthia's a dumbass. ryland is up in vermont with his family this summer. hunter's looking at colleges. you've got, like, max three people to be... scared of, or whatever." she shot down almost everyone he posed as a reason to not sleep with her again. 
"and your dad?"
"my dad is an asshole." she practically groaned. it sounded strange coming out of her mouth, usually she praised her dad in public.
that statement seemed to surprise john b, seeing as he left it there. 
"besides, from my perspective, you've never been scared of kooks, man." reyna gestured towards him, thinking back to every time john b or another kook had gotten into a fight with her or her friends.
"did you just call me 'man'?" john b chuckled, picking up the plates and walking them towards the kitchen table. reyna slipped off of the wood and sat down in a chair as he sat a plate in front of her, giving him a small nod.
"so what if i did?" 
john b didn't say anything else, instead taking a bite of his toast. 
"fuck," reyna muttered to herself, pulling her phone out of her back pocket once she remembered it was there. 
forty six texts. thirteen missed calls. all from one contact, 'top 🤮'. the latest of which being;
'did you fucking die?'
'tell me you actually got home last night'
'i swear to god if you make me go back to the boneyard to drive your hungover body back to my place'
'reyna. reyna. reyna. dumb slut.'
'pick up my calls or i'm calling the cops.'
with that, her phone began buzzing again, and she picked up. glancing back at john b with the phone pressed to her ear, she answered with a short "hello?" john b looked confused, but he didn't stop eating, he just watched her take the call.
"where the fuck are you?" topper's voice rang through, not even saying hi.
"i'm fine, thanks for asking."
"don't be like that- christ, your parents would've killed me if you, like, died or something." topper sighed, and reyna could hear the tension in his voice fade.
"aw, someone was worried about me." reyna laughed, bringing the toast up to her mouth to take a bite while listening to topper.
"where are you?"
"none of your business, asshole." she scoffed, ignoring his question. 
"just wondering. you need a ride?" topper seemed more overprotective than anything else most of the time. 
"no, i-"
"oh, who'd you hook up with, then?" 
"that's none of your fucking business, top." reyna pinched the bridge of her nose, leaning her elbow on the table. john b sighed when he heard her address the caller by name.
"actually, it's 90% my business, but fine. bye."
"bye." reyna hung up and threw her phone down on the table. she knew topper was going to want more than that the next time they saw each other, but that was as good as she could do for the time being.
john b picked up their empty plates and set them on the counter, turning to face reyna once more as she stood up from the chair she'd been in. "want a ride back to that porsche?"
"yeah, please."

Like Father Like Daughter (1/?)
Tumblr media
Paring: Tony x Daughter!Reader
Summary: Your nice day off ends up getting flipped and fucked quickly when a new foe declares they want to take earth
Warning: Swearing, Infinity War feel (kinda sorta)
Word Count: 1.1K
A/N: Again, this is my first multi-chapter fic. Again sorry if my summary sucks. I really hope you all like it. I got good reviews and stuff on the teaser so I’m hoping you’ll like this too. I’m not too fond of this title so if you have any suggestions for a new title please don’t be afraid to tell me.
Please let me know if you want to get tagged in anything. Enjoy! LFLD Masterlist ⌐ Masterlist
~~~~
It was a pretty uneventful day thus far. Nothing out of the ordinary. Your dad and Pepper went for a small run, Happy hot on their tale saying something about safety and security. It was your day off so currently, you sat undisturbed watching reruns of Friends on the sofa of the common room wearing very a comfortable set clothes consisting of joggers and a long sleeve shirt with a bowl of popcorn and m&m’s. Well, that is until an orange portal appeared out of nowhere and a tall man with a red cape steps out calling you by name. 
“(Y/N) Stark. I’m Doctor Stephen Strange, and I need you to come with me please.” He gives a soft yet pointed look.
“Well this can’t be any good now can it?” You sarcastically ask. “Lemme go change and grab something real quick.” You left without giving the doctor a chance to speak. You always did carry your father’s charming traits. 
Walking back, you were wearing black jeans, the black sabbath shirt you stole from your dad, a black sweater, which you also stole from your dad, and all black converse. The blue light from the nano-tech arc reactor you both made, shining bright on your chest. 
“Alrighty, I’m ready” You threw your hands up in a ta-da like motion. The Doctor sighed and stepped through the portal, beckoning you to follow him. Stepping through, you found yourself in some sort of sanctuary. You looked around in awe. Eyes darting everywhere, trying to take in all the details at once. You turned your attention to the large rails and stairs, until you spotted a giant hole in the center of it. You opened your mouth to question it but another voice behind you beat you to talking.
“(N/N) is that you?” It couldn’t be. After two years of searching and not finding anything, it just  seems impossible. But then again, that hole is big enough to fit the Hulk. You took a deep breath and turned around. There in the flesh was Dr. Bruce Banner, and you couldn’t believe your eyes.
“Uncle Bruce?” You choked out, getting overwhelmed by emotions. Tears pricking your eyes, you gave him a once over. He was wearing black pants, a black shirt, and a torn up blazer/coat. You walked up to him and looked into his eyes. The warm soft brown eyes you once knew, were now dimmed and haunted.  Without warning you threw your arms around his neck. Instantly he reacted and wrapped his arms around you, returning the hug.
“I missed you,” you managed to let out, “So much has happened in the two years you’ve been gone.” Slowly you retracted your arms, still in some shock that he was actually here. Doctor Strange walked up to the both of you.
“I apologize for interrupting but we are on a very strict schedule.” He takes a few steps back and starts making orange things with his hands. Another man in a red robe walks up to you and extends his hand.
“Wong,” you shook his hand, “(Y/N).” You gave a small smile. “Now what exactly am I doing here?” He didn’t answer your question, but pointed to Strange who made another portal. “Holy shit,” you breathed out.
“We just need one more person before we can explain,” Strange pointed to the portal. He stepped through, you cast a glance to Bruce and Wong before curiously stepping just a little closer to the portal. 
“…..Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way.” Is what you heard Strange say from your position. 
“I’m sorry, you giving out tickets or something?” You heard your dad respond.
“Is that Tony?” Bruce asked walking up to you. 
“Yeah, think so.” 
“We need your help. Look, it’s not overselling to say that the fate of the universe is at stake.” Strange may have sounded serious, but you heard the desperateness in tone.
“Are we walking in? Or do we stay here?” Bruce asked you. You just shrugged.
“And who’s ‘we’?“ You heard you dad ask. You looked to Bruce and gestured to the portal. Both of you stepped through the portal simultaneously. Tony sees you and Bruce step through the portal, giving you a look of shock disbelief. 
“Hey, Tony.” Bruce gave an awkward small wave.
“Bruce,” Your father looked at Bruce incredulously. You turned to Strange, giving them a moment to reconcile. With a heavy sigh you turned and looked up at the doctor.
“How bad is it?” You bit your bottom lip. A bad habit you picked up after Sokovia. Strange looks at the ground a moment before looking back at you.
“Extremely bad and very worrisome.” He turned around and walked back inside the portal. Well that certainly helps. You roll your eyes, spotting Bruce and your dad following after him. You go to step through but someone grabs your arm before you even bring your foot over the orange circle.
“I need you to promise me you’ll try and stay safe,” your eyes lock on with Pepper’s. Worry built in them. 
“I’ll try my best mom. And yes, I’ll keep an eye on dad too,” smiling and giving her a kiss on the cheek you step through the portal. You turn around and wave goodbye right as it was closing. Sighing, you walk and stand right next to your dad.
“Watching TV wasn’t enough for you?” He smirked at you.
“Nah. Avenging sounded way better than just sitting on a comfy sofa with comfy clothes and nice bag of treats,” you chuckled eyeing Stephen. He just shook his head at the two of you. 
“Let’s get started,” Wong started moving his hands, orange sparks and stuff form, using his magic to show the universe and the infinity stones. “From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.” You stared in awe at the presentation in front of you.
“Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind.” Strange started naming them. He made a gesture with his hands opening the necklace he had. “And time.” The green stone shown before he put his hands down, the necklace closing in the process. You look at Bruce and then to Tony. Clenching your jaw in thought.
“Tell me his name again,” your dad said, walking towards some sculpture thing. You may be a genius but art was never really in your area of expertise.
“Thanos. He’s a plague, Tony. He invades planets. He takes what he wants. He wipes out half the population. He sent Loki. The attack on New York. That’s him.” Your head whipped to look at Bruce. Your mouth opening slightly, eyes blinking rapidly, and your breath hitching. It’d made sense. You ran a hand through your hair and sighed. Well this is going to be one very interesting mission.

Alrighty so since I’m bored let’s talk about a single dads au lmao:
The PJO/HoO boys have one of those dad groups where dads just get together while their kids play together and they just hang out and talk shit and drink juice boxes
Meet the ‘Hot Single Dads’ group:
Percy Jackson: the laidback and relaxed dad who the other dads sort of look to for advice because he seems to know what the fuck he’s doing. Juniper calls him a living miracle because he can get any screaming child to calm down in minutes. Has an eight year old son named Theo with an ex college girlfriend. Pining hard after Jason. Coaches his son’s swim team. Moms (and dads) love him. Teachers have a love hate relationship with him
Grover Underwood: the Epitome of the Stay At Home Dad. He’s got all the healthy snacks and a first aid kit on him at all times. Panics when his kid eats sand. Father to Willow (9), Nova (6), and Ash (2). Husband to Juniper. Allowed in the Hot Single Dads group because he’s Percy’s best friend since middle school and he’s got a lot of common sense and he’s great with kids. He’s also the one who tries to plan out meeting days around everyone’s busy schedules. Grover is the king of diy and crafts, and all the kids love him. All the neighborhood kids make Grover flower crowns during the summer and he'll wear them as long as he can before adding it to the collection of crafts kids have made him in his room
Frank Zhang: a nervous new dad fresh out of college who asks a lot of questions and has a lot of concerns. Has a four month old daughter named Anya with his best friend and ex-girlfriend Hazel. They met in high school and were best friends but didn’t date until college. But soon after realized they were better off as friends. Doesn’t go anywhere without Anya strapped to his chest. Works as a firefighter with Percy.
Nico di Angelo: not a dad yet because he’s in the process of adopting but hangs out with the group for advice and tips. The kids love him because he’s like their fun uncle. Accidentally got roped into babysitting Theo for a night once and realized he’s actually really great with kids and decided he wanted to adopt.
Leo Valdez: the dad who just does not give a fuck and also the fun dad. His kids eating a Cheeto they found in the sand? Shit happens. His twin boys, Mieczysław and Salvador (7), are menaces. Doesn’t like to show it but is constantly stressed out and worries that he’s not enough for his boys and wonders if he’s doing the right thing. He’s that one crazy wild friend from college you’re shocked to find out years later that they have a child. Leo is the one who introduces Jason to the group.
Jason Grace: new to the group as a newly single dad who’s worried he’s not enough. Has an eight year old son and a five year old daughter. Pining hard after Percy. Coaches his son’s baseball team. Moms (and dads) also love him. PTA Dad. The Mom™ friend turned Dad. Always has snacks, wet wipes, and hand sanitizer on hand. If you need anything, anything at all, there’s a 98% chance that Jason has it on hand. Shares joint-custody with his ex-wife and best friend Piper.
After his divorce from his ex-wife, Leo tells Jason about this Dad Support Group he’s in and that he should accompany him to their next meeting with the kids
Jason is skeptical at first but decides what’s the harm in going to one meeting
He wasn’t expecting to fall hopelessly in love at first sight with one of the other dads
“It’s Percy isn’t it? Can’t say I blame you. He’s got the looks of a Greek God.”
Leo teases him immensely for it and gives Jason a knowing look every time he catches him looking at Percy
Percy is a Terrible flirt
“So you coach your son’s baseball team? That’s great! Theo loves baseball.” “Dad I hate baseball.”
Grover likes to tease Percy for it but Percy reminds him that it took him two years just to gain the courage to hold Juniper’s hand
Aside from pining, Jason enjoys hanging out with the boys
He and Nico hit it off quite nicely. He also enjoys teasing Leo about his not-so-secret crush on Nico
He and Frank become workout buddies
Percy tried to join them on their workout days after Annabeth said he had the beginnings of a Dad Bod forming but between work, coaching Theo’s swim team and keeping up with his other long list of extracurricular activities, he just doesn’t have the time
He’s learning to embrace his Dad Bod
Grover has fully embraced the Dad Bod
Grover and Frank get along a lot because they’re both sorta nervous dads who worry about their kids a lot
And so Frank usually goes to Grover for all of his questions like “is this normal?” “She bumped her head is she okay?” “What can I do for this??”
And Grover gives him all sorts of advice and healthy snacks
Jason and Percy’s boys are competitive little buttwipes and are always getting into fights
“I bet I can run faster than you.” “I bet I can kick this ball farther than you.” “I bet I can swing higher than you.” “I bet I can study faster than you.”
Percy settles their arguments by getting in-between them, hauls his son over his shoulder, and brings him to the side and calmly talks to him in a low voice
Jason just watches like “Damn that shouldn’t have been that hot” before he realizes he probably should have a word with his son as well
Unfortunately for Jason he’s hopelessly in love and he’s like 99.9% sure Percy is dating Annabeth
Everyone thinks that Percy's in a relationship with Annabeth because they’re so close and she loves his kid
It also doesn’t help that Theo refers to Annabeth as ‘Mom’
So Jason just has to pine away and being the child he is, pulls at Percy's pigtails cause he can't deal with his crush
Frank decides to throw a fourth of July BBQ and Annabeth comes and Jason is trying to make conversation
Jason thinks he’s subtle but he’s not. 
“Your son Theo is a very charming boy, very polite. You must be very proud.” “Theo isn’t my son.” “Oh, I’m so sorry. Are you his step mom?” “No. Godmother.”
Annabeth laughs at Jason’s confused face and goes “If I was looking for a romantic partner maybe but nah. Percy and I are just best friends. I babysit Theo a lot.” (She’s hella ace and aro)
It’s obvious that he likes Percy
And Percy being Percy, he can't see it
One night like a month before the BBQ, he’s over at Annabeth's drinking and lamenting about this beautiful blond dad(dy) who Leo introduced to their Hot Single Dads group who's "literally captain America Annabeth, I swear I would go to war for that ass"
Annabeth recruits Reyna and Rachel to help her get these two idiots together
Side plot, Nico's surprisingly good with kids, especially Leo's twin terrors, and they get together cause the twins Conspire™ and Plot™ to do so
Cue many Hallmark movie shenanigans
Nico is one of the only one who’s can actually get the little devils to listen and behave. Leo is in awe and in love.
Leo gets asked about his sons’ names a lot
Leo: “Those two little demons playing on the monkey bars are mine. Mischief and Managed.” Frank: “...you named your sons Mischief and Managed?” Leo: “No, of course not. That’s just what they like to be called.”
Calypso is half Greek and half Polish and wanted to name Mieczysław after her grandfather. Unfortunately Mieczysław could never quite pronounce his name correctly so he goes by Mischief instead
Calypso also wanted to name Salvador after a character from Game of Thrones but Leo had to draw the line at Drogon. He already agreed to Mieczysław, he wasn’t naming his son Daenerys or Drogon
And since the twins are really into Harry Potter and Mieczysław goes by Mischief, Sal likes to go by Managed
Percy originally created Struggling Dads (Leo later changed the name to ‘Hot Single Dads Who Are Also Fortunately Not Heterosexual’) so his son could learn how to socialize and hopefully make some friends. He immediately regretted everything once he met Leo’s twin terrors
The children basically make up the Marauders irl

a decade of self recs
i’d like to invite anyone who wants to to participate in this exercise along with me!
this is a self rec and a reflection on a fic from each year of the decade
fandoms include: percy jackson, adventure time, a song of ice and fire, girl meets world, gravity falls, young justice, the flash, my hero academia, the mcu, and the handmaid’s tale. 
2010: I didn’t even know what fanfiction was! oh my gosh i was a baby!
2011: 
I Won’t Ever Leave You Alone
Fandom: Percy Jackson 
Pairings: Percy/Annabeth
Summary:  What happens when Percy's sent to the Roman Camp and flat out does not want to remember his past? Can it have a happy ending? It's my first fan fiction and I hope you enjoy.
A.N: This WAS the first fanfiction that I ever wrote. It was bad. It’s STILL bad. however... if I didn’t ever write this one, then I never would have gotten less bad. That’s important! 
2012: 
The Ice Prince
Fandom: Adventure Time
Summary:  "Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice" Robert Frost. The lonely ice prince wonders a frozen wasteland of his own creation, searching for companionship he will never be fortunate enough to find, with only vague recollections and half memories as comfort. Drabble Ice Prince!Finn
A.N: this fic is actually shorter than the author’s note I wrote for it, but... I’m not going to lie. The atmosphere work is really great and the wording flows really nicely. I’m proud of this little piece. I think out of everything that I wrote that year, it shows my potential the best. 
2013: 
Hot Chocolate Heals All Wounds
Fandom: Percy Jackson 
Pairings: Reyna/Annabeth and past Percy/Annabeth 
Summary:  Moving on is never easy, but with hot chocolate, love, laughter and Reyna by her side, Annabeth might just manage.
A.N: 2013 was where I really started to take off as a fic writer. I improved drastically over the course of the year, but I still think that this fic that I wrote during the summer is the closest to my heart. It’s the first of my “ladies getting over trauma together and falling in love” genre. 
It’s not as good as I remember it being, and oh lordy. the smut.. the smut is bad. But there’s a lot of potential here, and I can still look back on it fondly. 
2014: 
The River Rushes On
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire 
Pairings: Catelyn/Cersei 
Summary: The official reason that she is sent to Riverrun is so that she can learn to be a proper lady alongside Hoster’s daughters. The unofficial reason, of course, is that Tywin found his golden twins having sex.
Or, the one where all good things end, but life continues.
A.N: I had a bit of debate going between this one and a sansaery fic that I wrote that year, but I decided that this HAD to be the choice. Catelyn/Cersei is a pairing that I came to on my own, but I ended up really loving because of the friends I made through the pairing. While this might not have been might best writing of the year, I feel like it was a formative enough experience that it overrides that. 
honorable mention: like the songs, a tragic sansaery au where sansa was a traveling singer
2015: 
Caged
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire 
Pairings: Sansa/Margaery 
Summary:  In an alternate universe where many of the members of the Westerosi elite are magical creatures, the Lannisters seal Sansa Stark's wolf form deep within her. Margaery Tyrell vows to break the spell.
A.N: this is where we get into fics that I might actually recommend to someone. This one was one of the last fics that I wrote during high school, and it was inspired by our class reading of Macbeth and the emotional turmoil of getting ready to head off to college. There’s still some stuff I’m REALLY proud of in there. The spell ingredient “blood of a lover, willingly drawn” is still fantastic, the dream is still chilling, and I honestly sometimes think of adapting this premise into an original story.
honorable mentions: a guide to coming out, the girl meets world edition 
her heart’s duet, the mabifica soulmate’s au 
2016: 
Over the Shadowy Hills 
Fandoms: Young Justice
Pairings: Artemis/Zatanna
Summary: Wally is dead, but Artemis isn't. She's trying to learn how to deal with that.Featuring: Bart Allen, product placement Netflix isn't paying me for, blatant symbolism, and snaibsel sweaters.
A.N: 2016 was a REALLY hard one. I wanted to put like, 3 star wars rebels fics, but i’m holding myself to my one fic per year policy, and if it’s one fic for year... then it has to be over the shadowy hills.   
one of my other friends helped me work this into a fic that i could be really proud of, and it’s the better version of the same fic type as “hot chocolate heals all wounds” from a couple years earlier. i’m still really pleased with the way that this one panned out and i couldn’t leave it out of a best list, 
the honorable mentions:  you were someone, once the winter soldiered! ezra fic that helped me become friends with @bodhimcbodeface​, the ketbine soulmate au where sabine drew dicks all over her face, and then there’s the mirialan!ezra au. 
2017: 
you, me, and the flash makes three
Fandom: The Flash 
Pairings: Cisco/Iris, eventual Cisco/Barry/Iris
Summary: When Barry Allen wakes up from his coma, he finds out that Iris is dating Cisco. He tries really hard to dislike the guy, but Cisco makes it really hard. He's a likable dude.Things get more complicated from there.
A.N: i have a few others that i would have liked to put for this year, but i saw “you me and the flash makes three” and then i was like. well shit. i can’t pick anything else. this fic is a little under 15k and it’s really one of my favorite things that i’ve ever written. it’s a little cheesy and at parts feels a little clunky, but i think that the way that i was able to hit the most important emotional beats for season one of the flash and flesh out all the relationships within an ot3 outweigh that. 
honorable mentions are: how to fall in love with your mark, the bluepulse fic where bart allen realizes that he can’t kill jaime reyes and 
mantis prays to oregon, the guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 fic where mantis is ego’s biological child, but that somehow makes everything worse
2018: 
Ad Astra Per Aspera
Fandom: My Hero Academia
Pairings: Ochako/Bakugo 
Summary:  Ochako sees none of herself in Bakugo’s pure rage, her sheer confidence. Bakugo holds up an enormous middle finger to the world and says come and get it. She’s harsh. She’s loud. She’s angry. She doesn’t say what’s on her mind; she shouts it.If she’s being completely honest, Ochako is a bit in awe with her.People might not like her, but they take her seriously. Bakugo grabs them by the throats, pulls them in and says “I am woman, hear me roar."
Sequel to "knights in shining armor"
A.N: 2018 was the year that I embraced the gender bend and started writing bildungsromans that deal with coming of age and trying to puzzle out wtf being a person and gender even are. I’m really pleased with all of them, but this is my favorite. Partially because I think it’s the most well-written, partially because I like the motifs the best, but mainly because it taught me a lot about myself and my writing. 
Also it accidentally got me to ship kacchako, which is something I appreciate. 
honorable mentions: hers, not his: the fem!todoroki one where she learns that sometimes telling your dad to fuck off isn’t worth giving up the things that you love
gimme a boost over heaven’s gate, the one where eleanor and tahani end up on the same talk show together. then bone. then become better people
2019: 
Paint a New Horizon 
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire
Pairings: Sansa/Margaery and abusive Sansa/Joffrey
Summary:  Sansa is a painter. The moment that she meets Joffrey he becomes her muse. After they get married she starts to see his true colors unfold in front of her and she loses her passion. Then she meets Margaery. Her presence changes everything, and reignites a passion for painting and for life that Sansa thought was long buried. It’s too bad that leaving Joffrey isn’t an easy task.
A.N: this fic is 23k of my sweat and tears. i know that it’s kind of a weird premise, but this was the most gripping writing i’ve done all year. it was exactly right for me at that moment. 
however, it does spell a bit of a turning point in my writing and life. in the past, i have written short fics that i could get posted fairly quickly. this fic was the result of multiple weeks of work when i was off school, not working much, and focusing mainly on... writing this damn thing. moving forward, i’m going to have to try to figure out a way to keep up my motivation and drive with longer projects when i don’t have the time to dedicate to HUGE chunks of work at one time when i also know i’m not going to get the instant gratification of kudos immediately after a long writing sesh. i know that sounds silly, but this is the first year where the majority of the fics i wrote WERE longer. 
while i’m very pleased with all of these longer fics, it does mark a shift that i will just have to learn how to deal with. 
honorable mention: A Woman’s Place, the handmaid’s tale time travel fix it fic

Have a name survey because these are always fun.
Boys
A Andrew vs. Aaron Alan vs. Alexander Aiden vs. Adam B Brennan vs. Brayden: Both of these are awful but I guess I gotta pick. Brandon vs. Braxton Bentley vs. Brimley C Cayden vs. Camden: Again, both equally cringey for me. Cole vs. Cameron Cade vs. Chandler: Chandler is a cute name for a girl, but I have a bias for Chandler Bing too hahaha. D Denver vs. Dallas Deklan vs. Dylan: I prefer the spelling Declan, though. Also, I technically like Dylan just a little bit more and would have picked it, but I like it for a girl. My sister had a classmate named Dylan and it sounded really good on her. David vs. Dennis E Ethan vs. Ezra Eitan vs. Elijah Emmanuel vs. Eden: Again, I prefer the name Eden for girls.
F Fabio vs. Ferdinand: I very hesitatingly picked Fabio hence the italics, but I very much dislike both. This is also what I’ll be doing for the rest of the names on here. Finnegan vs. Finley Fernando vs. Frankie: For the millionth time, Frankie is cute for a girl (this is where y’all really see that I prefer daughters more HAHAHA), and this is also because there’s a local singer named Frankie that I really admire.  G Gavin vs. Gus Gumby vs. Gerrick George vs. Grant H Harper vs. Harley Hayden vs. Henry Harlow vs. Hank I Ian vs. Ivan Indigo vs. Iris: Can I just say these are both better off as girl names? Indiana vs. Iris: And these, too?
J John vs. Jericho Jacob vs. Jameson Jasper vs. Jedidiah K Kayden vs. Koa Kent vs. Kyle Kevin vs. Konner: I prefer the spelling Connor, though. L Lars vs. Liam Levi vs. Lance Lester vs. Lorenzo M Michael vs. Matthew Maverick vs. Mason Madison vs. Micah N Nolan vs. Nathan Niko vs. Nathaniel Nicholas vs. Nate: I honestly like both. I can go with naming a son Nicholas then giving them Nate as a nickname. O Ocean vs. Oscar: I hate nature names and Oscar screams old-guy-name to me. Sorry to all the Oscars :( Orville vs. Otis Otto vs. October P Patrick vs. Percy Preston vs. Paisley Parker vs. Passion Q Quincy vs. Quinn Quada vs. Quinten Quailen vs Quidditch R Raven vs. Riley Rowan vs. Rod Ray vs. Roy: I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to Roy cos it’s an occasional nickname Gab’s dad uses. S Skylar vs. Scott: Only because a high school classmate named her kid Schuyler and that baby is seriously adorable, bubbly, and well-behaved. Storm vs. Steven Sorin vs. Solomon T Trevor vs. Travis Todd vs. Taylor Taytum vs. Tanner U Ulysses vs. Uman Umbo vs. Uno Utah vs. Usher: I dislike most geographic names, but I’d rather I name my baby Utah then have them be sang sex-themed songs by Usher by meaner kids throughout their childhood lmao.   V Vance vs. Vincent Vern vs. Vayde Vernon vs. Vayden W Walter vs. Wyatt Wade vs. Winter Wallace vs. Whisper X Xenon vs. Xayden: I really wanted to pick one name for each question, but being stuck between a chemical element and a name ending in -den is an easy no to both for me. Xayler vs. Xavier Xandon vs. Xennan Y Yvonne vs. Yonder: These names are getting more awful now that we’re ending dude, lmao. Yuletide vs. Yasser Yancy vs. Yancer Z Zeeland vs. Zayden Zion vs. Zenon Zander vs. Zenner
Girls
A Acacia vs. Alexa Aurora vs. Annalise Avonna vs. Alessandra B Brogan vs. Brooklyn Bianca vs. Brigitta Bailey vs. Brynn C Carlotta vs. Christine Cheyenne vs. Cescily Cecilia vs. Cassidy D Diedra (pronounced Dee-ay-druh) vs. Delilah: But I prefer the spelling Deirdre. Devia vs. Daytona Dakota vs. Darcy E Evonna vs. Eliana Emerald vs. Evangeline Eden vs. Eliza F Felicity vs. Fiona Faith vs. Faye: Both have always been on my blacklist for girl’s names, sorry lol. Flavia (pronoucned Flah-wee-uh) vs. Flora G Grace vs. Gretchen Genesis vs. Galaxy: Please don’t make these names happen. Gabriella vs. Greta: I love both names and have always liked the name Greta because of Greta Garbo, but I’m obviously biased towards my girlfriend so Gabriela/Gabriella it is. H Harper vs. Hope Holly vs. Hailee Harmony vs. Harvest: Again, both cringe material but I guess Harmony makes me cringe juuuuuuust a little less. I Imogene vs. Ivy Isabella vs. Iris Irene vs. Ingrid J Jessica vs. Jacinda Jade vs. Juniper: Juniper would be cute if a baby can stay a baby forever lmao, but I’m generally not a fan. Joanna vs. Joy: But I like the spelling Johanna more. K Kaleidoscope (Kallie for short) vs. Kaylee: Can I just pick the nickname? I hate the other two options :(( Kennedy vs. Kendall: I’d pick both, but thinking as a future mom, I wouldn’t want my daughter to be mercilessly teased for being given a name that’s usually understood to be more masculine in nature. I know we’re all about breaking stereotypes and all, but y’all – realistically, kids can be pretty fucking cruel. Katelyn vs. Katrina L Lacey vs. Linsey Lynnea (proncounced Lynn-ay-uh) vs. Liberty Lara vs. Lola M Morgan vs. Madison Mackenzie vs. Miranda Marissa vs. Monica N Nora vs. Natalie Nevaeh (pronounced Nev-ay-uh) vs. Nicole Niki vs. Noelle O Ophelia vs. Ocean: Only picking Ophelia because I’m generally not a fan of nature names, but there are a lot more better options if I wanted to name my kid after Shakespeare plays, like Beatrice or Emilia. Olivia vs. Onna Opal vs. October: Was never a fan of gemstone names, and there are much better month names than October. P Passion vs. Primrose: I feel the same way for Primrose as I do with Juniper. Mostly cute with babies, but is less cuter on grown-up girls. Penelope vs. Pixie Pandora vs. Palace Q Quintessa vs. Quincy Quaila vs. Quilala (Kwi--lah-lah) Queen vs. Quiencia (Kwee-ence-ee-uh) R Reyna vs. Riley Rosanna vs. Rosemary Rhonda vs. Rodica (Roe-dee-kuh) S Skylar vs. Skye Serena vs. Simone Shailey vs. Sienna T Tessa vs. Taylor Tia vs. Tiana Taytum vs. Trixie: Tatum would be a better spelling. U Una vs. Uta Ulyssia (You-liss-ee-uh) vs. Umba Ula vs. Ursula: Only because it can be a Friends reference lol. V Violet vs. Vylette Veronica vs. Victoria Valencia vs. Valerie W Wynona vs. Whitney: Winona > Wynona, but still. Wynter vs. Whisper Willow vs. Wanda X Xaila vs. Xara Xana vs. Xenon Xavier vs. Xena Y Yasmin vs. Yvonne Yvette vs Yolanda Yori vs. Yaya Z Zayara vs. Zion Zayana vs. Zoey Zen vs. Zara
Final questions!
Your name (first and middle): Robyn Isabelle.Do you like it?I hated the name Robyn throughout my childhood because I always got teased about it. When I got to college and everyone just kinda matured and told me they liked the way my name flowed, I ended up warming up to and loving it.What your parents almost named you:I was almost named Ariel after the Disney princess, and I know my parents were also thinking of naming me Katrina/Katherine/Kaitlyn.Your favorite girl's name (first and middle):Olivia. I don’t have a pick for middle name yet.List five unique names of girls you have met:Shauna, Shontrice, Unila, Ciamae, Rheezan.List five girl's names you don't like:I mostly dislike in-your-face weather/nature names like Winter, Snow, Amethyst, Cloud, Gaia, or Daffodill. But some, like Cheyenne, Rose, and Luna are super cute, too.List five girls name you really like:I’ve done this like 10 times on 10 different surveys but I like names such as Olivia, Elizabeth, Mia, Ava, and Isabella.Your first best friend's name:Kaye.Your siblings names:Nope.The name of the first pet that you loved:Tobi, my pet rabbit.What you would be named if you were the opposite gender:I’ve never asked my parents about this, actually. They’d probably go with a Spanish/Hispanic name, seeing as they went with Joaquin for my brother but were also thinking of naming him Diego.

I want to kiss you
The first time Kayla saw Hazel, the latter was being praised for being one of the seven. She was gorgeous Kayla thought. Kayla, at the time, was helping Will out with the infirmary. Hazel looked like a princess in a t-shirt  and jeans. She had gotten yelled at for staring while other campers needed help. ❤❤❤❤ The first time Hazel saw Kayla it was during a game of capture the flag between the Romans and Greeks. Kayla was arguing with Annabeth's brother. Hazel snuck past them to get the Greek’s flag. She stopped and stared at the ginger girl after she had it and unfortunately Nico catch her. The Romans ended up losing the game. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla talked to Hazel for the first time in front of the camp fire. “Is this pretty different from Camp Jupiter?” Kayla asked. “Very much. It's more… fun.” Hazel smiled. A bit of marshmallow was on her lips. “Are Romans no fun?” Kayla raised her eyebrows. Gods was she flirting or was she sounding like an idiot. Probably both. “A lot of them have a stick up their ass.” Hazel chuckled. “And here I thought they were carefree and party animals.” “Some are, like Dakota. He's the guy who seems like he's drunk. He's not though. But other than Reyna and those in the fourth and fifth cohort, are a little uptight and full of themselves.” Kayla laughed. “Sounds like lovely people. How did you end up with them?” “Nico took me there after- uh some events. It's a long story.” Hazel looked over to where her brother was with Jason Grace. “I enjoy long stories and it isn't even time for the sing-a-long. I'm Kayla by the way.” Kayla said. “Hazel though you probably knew that already and my story is not really long, just strange and uh complicated.” Hazel frowned. “Oh. Alright, well then tell me what you like to do for fun?” “I like to draw and ride horses.” Hazel said. “You guys have horses?” “No. There's this really fast gold eating immortal horse named Arion that I can summon. Hylla, the queen of the Amazons and Reyna’s sister, says only the bravest female warrior can tame him. According to Percy he curses a lot.” Hazel smiled. “That's badass. Think you can give me a ride someday?” Kayla asked. Damn. That was impressive. “Sure.” Hazel said. “I can't wait.” Kayla smiled. “What things do you enjoy doing?” Hazel asked. “Archery mostly, my dad, my mortal dad took me to an archery range since I was a kid. I also like poetry and painting.” “Your mortal dad?” Hazel asked. “Apollo is my godly parent and well he decided to have a biology kid with a cisgender man. There's not a lot of demigods like me.” Kayla looked down at her hands. Before the Second Titian War she and the Dionysus twins, Pollux and Castor, were the only demigods of her kind that she knew of. Chiron told her that there were others before but it wasn't until more demigods started getting claimed did she finally believe him. Now there was seventeen demigods with same sex parents. “Oh. Okay. I never heard of a god or goddess having a child with a mortal of the same sex before.” Hazel said. “Well now you have.” Kayla said. “Kayla! We're about to start the sing-a-long, get your butt over here.” Her brother, Austin, yelled from where her siblings were sitting. “See ya around.” Kayla said as she left. “Yeah, I’ll see you around too.” Hazel said. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel petted Arion’s mane as he eating the gold she gave him. Kayla was standing nearby, starting in awe of Arion who had seemed to come out of nowhere. “Just a quick ride for my new friend, okay buddy?” Hazel whispered to him. Arion neighed and Hazel hoped that was a 'Sure Hazel.’ To be honest, it was probably a 'Why the fuck not?’ knowing Arion. “Alright, Kayla, you ready?” Hazel asked. “Definitely.” Kayla said. Hazel climbed onto Arion and held out her hand to help Kayla. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla had never before went so fast as she did while riding Arion. It was incredible. She flinched as they reached the edge of a lake but instead of falling into the water, Arion ran across it. Amazing. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel looked at Kayla. She was heading back to Camp Jupiter. “I'll Iris message you when I can. I'm glad we've become friends in these last few weeks.” Hazel said. “I'm glad too. I've never really had a girl for a friend before unless you count Drew, through she's more like an older cousin to me. And you better Iris message me or else I will do it and chances are I will do it when you are in those amazing Roman baths like you did to Reyna.” Kayla hugged her. Hazel hugged her back. “I should get going. But I mean it about calling you. I really want to stay in touch until I visit Camp Half-Blood.” Hazel said. ❤❤❤❤ Another war. Another battle. More deaths. Kayla stood in the infirmary once again, helping her healer siblings and her dad take care of wounded demigods. This was worst than the Second Titan War and Second Giant War combined. So many dead. So many injured. Kayla walked over to a bed. She was surprised to see a familiar Roman with brown hair laying there with her arm wrapped in bandages. “Hazel?” Kayla said. “Hey Kayla. Looks like I didn't keep my promise to Iris message you. It's good to see you.” Hazel said. “Yeah but oh well. I'm as okay as I can be. My dad is a god again which is good. What happened to your arm?” “Just a big cut. Apollo said I should be fine.” Hazel smiled. Gods Kayla loved that smile. It was so sweet and joyful. And real. “Good. When things settle down we should hang out. Maybe sneak out of camp to go see a musical. There's one I really want to see called Dear Evan Hansen.” Kayla said. “Yeah. Sounds like fun.” Hazel said. “Okay, well I got to get back to helping the injured. I'll come by and change your bandages later and we can make more solid plans.” Kayla said as she walked away. “Flirting with patients is inappropriate.” Austin said as he walked passed her. She rolled her eyes. She hadn't been flirting. Okay she was but it's not inappropriate, Austin is just annoying. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel smiled when Kayla came by to change her bandages. “Hi again.” She said. “Hi. Tell me if I hurt you by accidentally, I'm not a healer so I'm not that good at this stuff.” Kayla said as she started taking off Hazel's old bandage. “I will. So you were saying something about Dear Ivan handsome?” Hazel asked. “Dear Evan Hansen. It's a musical about a guy with social anxiety and fake emails. Damn this is a big cut.” Kayla said. The old bandage was halfway off now. “Sounds cool and swords normally leave big cuts.” Hazel said. Kayla's hand brushed against Hazel's. “Well it's good you don't have any worst injuries.” “I'm tough.” Hazel flexed her free arm. “You are totally tough.” Kayla said. “I am. This cut is nothing.” Hazel said. “What's the worst injury you have ever gotten? The worst I have had was a broken arm and I got stabbed in the stomach.” Kayla finished taking off the old bandage. “Well I've died.” Hazel said before she could stop herself. It wasn't like it was a big secret. But yet Hazel didn't think it was something she should tell people. Kayla was staring at her. “In 1942 Gaea tried to raise Alcyoneus. She made me help her but I stopped it all, killing me and my mother in the process. Nico found me in the Fields of Asphodel and my father gave me another chance at life.” Hazel said. Kayla still stared at her, her hands still on Hazel's arm. “I know it's weird but- “Saving the world before Percy Jackson was even a fertilized egg in his mother's womb. And yet people are all like 'Percy is the greatest hero of our time’ course sometimes it's Percy and Annabeth are the greatest heroes. It's weird but amazing, admirable. You gave up your life for the world. You are the greatest hero of our time.” Kayla said as she started to put on the clean bandage. “Thanks.” Hazel blushed. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla laid in her bed. Her thoughts were full of Hazel. Hazel's arm. Hazel's smile. Hazel's eyes. Hazel's hair. Hazel's everything. She sighed. She was developing more than a little crush on Hazel. Fuck her life. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel stood at Thalia’s tree, waiting for Kayla. The sound of footsteps behind her made her jump. “Don't worry, it's just me.” Kayla said. “Oh good.” Hazel said. She noticed how lovely Kayla looked in the moonlight. “Alright, we have to walk for awhile but I can probably call an Uber.” Kayla said. “Or I can shadowtravel.” Hazel said. “You can do that?” “Yup. Not as well as Nico but I bet I can get us to the city.” Hazel said. “Great! Let's go!” ❤❤❤❤ Kayla laid on the grass next to Hazel. Hazel was playing with an emerald that had popped out of the ground. “It matches how your hair was during the war with Nero last year.” Hazel said. “It does.” “Have it.” Hazel handed it to her. “What? No. I can't.” Kayla handed it back. “Sure you can.” Hazel said. She put the emerald back in Kayla's hand. This time Kayla kept it. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel flopped down on her bed in Cabin 13. “What's up?” Nico asked from his bed. He was playing with a deck of Mythomagic cards. “I want to kiss Kayla.” Hazel said. “Really?” “Yes, really.” “Than tell her that.” “But what if she’s straight? Or if she doesn't like me that way?” “Hazel, I'm dating Leo Valdez who acted like that straightest person in the world, I thought the same about him. Also come on, no girl who wears that much flannel is straight. And she makes heart eyes at you all the time.” Nico said. “Heart eyes? Also the flannel thing isn't true. And heart eyes?” Hazel sat up. “A, Kayla looks at you like Clovis looks at a bed. B, I know it isn't. And c, see a.” Nico said. “If I tell her and everything goes wrong, I'm partial blaming you.” Hazel said. “That's fair.” Nico shrugged. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla sat on top of Zeus’s fist. Hazel had told her to meet her there. Soon she saw the Roman girl walking towards her. “Yo! Hazel! What's up!” Kayla yelled before she jumped down and landed on her bum, “I am okay!” “That's good.” Hazel giggled. “So again, what's up?” Kayla asked. “I… I like you. Like like you. Like want to kiss you like you.” Hazel said. “Really?” Kayla asked. “Yes.” “Well I want to kiss you too but I'm on the ground and you're standing up.” Kayla said. Hazel smiled and laughed before jumping on top of Kayla. “Ow!” Kayla said. “Sorry. I was just happy. Can I kiss you now?” Hazel asked. “No shit.” Kayla said before kissing Hazel. They parted after a short while, “You kissed me but I didn't kiss you.” Hazel said as she kissed Kayla back. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel laid in the grass with her girlfriend. Kayla's hair was purple like Hazel's shirt. Hazel could still see hair dye on Kayla's ears. Hazel thought Kayla was the most beautiful person in the world.

because for some reason people actually don't notice these things
((please correct me if any of these are wrong))
*reasons annabeth chase isn’t a one sided character and sometimes acts the way she does* - annabeth grew up in a house hold with not the best influences in her house (step mother) - she felt so awful by the age of 7 that she ran away from home (when she met luke and thalia) - she had to learn how to fight young to survive because luke and thalia couldn’t always protect her and had trouble trusting anyone - one of her best friends was killed and she was in a brand new place and didn’t know anyone - at the age of 12 luke betrayed her and she had to deal with losing the other person she had known for years - when she was 13 she had to come to terms with the fact that being a cyclops wasn’t bad and in a way try to accept the fact that one killed thalia - when she was 14 she had to literally hold the sky up (percy did too, but she did longer if i remember) - at 15 she walked through the labyrinth (yes percy did too but we’re focusing on annabeth) - at 16 she took a dagger for percy - and she had to watch luke die - at 16/17 she was given another quest to save the world while she was missing her best friend/boyfriend - she went through tartarus at the same age - annabeth chase is a strong character who has had and still has problems and has been through a lot in her life. she learned to be independent when younger and is trying to over come that and accept help in what she does. sometimes she can be cold and sometimes she can be a little touchy but she’s trying and i can name a million male characters way worse than how she is. she is working on developing who she is as a person and people need to stop bringing her down because they fetishize gay people.
*reasons piper mclean isn’t a one sided character and sometimes acts the way she does*
- growing up she was ignored a lot and had to do things to get her dad attention - because her dads famous there were probably quite a few people who pretended to be her friend for her dad - whenever she accidentally used her charmspeak no one believed her - yes okay ‘you just gave me this car’ can be unbelievable but i mean come on even her dad wouldn’t try to understand - when she ggot to wilderness school the only person she had was leo - she met a boy named jason and then found out every memory she had with him was fake - they had something and it was ripped away from her - she ended up in a place with a mom who she didn’t want - suddenly everyone expected that she was girly - no she didn’t wear dresses and makeup. she had nothing against them, they just weren’t her thing - with almost no experience she had to go on a quest to save the goddess who fucked with her, leos, and jasons memories - she had a chance to tell her dad about the world of greek gods and goddess’s and have him realize why she did the things she did but didn’t because he would have gone crazy - she then trained and went on a quest to save the world - she went through so much and still supported her friends and rebuilt her relationship with jason - she is a strong character who worked hard to get where she is and wants to keep improving. she can seem a little touchy or even clingy sometimes but she’s just scared to lose people. she doesn’t want people to ignore her or act like she’s not there. you can’t boil her down to 'she’s aphrodites daughter who is self centered and clingy and uses her charmspeak against everyone even though its canon that she hates that but whatever i’m gonna ignore that.’
*reasons hazel levesque isn’t a one sided character and sometimes acts the way she acts*
- when she was alive on the 1940s her mom worked with gaia - she pretty much hated the half god part of her because of her gem powers and what they did to people who got them - sammy - (i can’t 100% remember how hazel died to p l e a s e correct me if this is wrong) but she had to basically kill herself and her mother to stop gaia back in the 40s - when she came back to life she had to get used to a completely new generation of people and customs - she still hated her powers and only told one person (nico) about her past because she was scared - she slowly worked harder to become stronger and still wasn’t given much credit for it - she was then sent on a quest to save the world after the events of the son of neptune - she had to deal with the whole leo and sammy thing - she acts supportive and sweet and kind because she knows people need her - but thats not all she is - because she can be strong and terrifying - all in all hazel levesque is a strong, sweet, and kind character who works hard and has trust and/or abandonment issues. she is trying to improve who she is and get over her past. she is forgiving herself for things that were out of her control and is coming to terms with who she is as a person and is accepting herself.
*over thoughts and summary*
i might get into other female characters in another post (reyna, calypso, rachel, etc) but i thought i would start with annabeth, hazel, and piper. personally i think the reason a lot of people try to discredit these three and say they’re one sided characters who are like every other stereotypical girl because they’re not (this post was inspired by an ask i got from an anon who said i shouldn’t ship piper with jason and leo because she’s a boring character who is like every other female character. i ignored it and deleted it last night but was thinking about it all today so here this is). i think what it is is people (specially girls, i’m not saying all girls, but a small group of them) fetishize gay people and two males being in a relationship. the main people i see doing this act like they’re aren’t stereotypical male characters. they act like male characters don’t do anything wrong and can be forgiven for everything (luke and stabbing himself) and think if a female characters who do minor things and can never be forgiven for it (annabeth being cruel towards tyson at first because thalia was killed by a cyclops, but eventually warmed up and started liking him and was nicer towards him). we need to stop erasing all the things these three have been through and start realizing that they have back stories that exist too. please stop erasing them to idolize male characters who have been through the exact same thing because you like fetishizing being gay.
