i am so happy to see them ❤️

[spookedbees]

hi oh my god, you’re art style is so cool, and i am so sorry if you don’t do requests but could you draw hylla and reyna? i think their sibling relationship is very under appreciated in the fandom, then again we don’t really see them interact a lot.

Thank you! I love these girlies too so I'm happy to draw them

the second image was just me trying to figure out hylla's design. i was going for warrior businesswoman vibes

“honey” is such an ‘old married couple’ nickname. i usually hate pet names, especially for percy and annabeth, but i’m not gonna lie guys…. i kinda love the thought of them sometimes referring to each other as honey?? like, i can just hear it. “honey you know i respect and value your opinions so so much, but can you shut up for like 2 minutes?” “honey you know i love you and your great plans, but can you not get us fucking killed?” “hey honey can you use your sword to cut the tag off my dress?” “wise girl, honey, why is nico asleep in our guest room��� again?” peak romance? i think yes. also annabeth is from the south, so it actually makes so much sense.

it’s so unexpected, but also so fitting?? idk for some reason i love it. just me? send help

What’s a pjo fic idea you want to get written the most?

Which post of yours are you the most proud of?

If you read fanfics, what’s your favorite pjo fic?

Which pjo character do you think is the most criminally underrated?

If you were to resurrect any of the characters that died in pjo (not hoo or toa), which one would you resurrect?

1. A 12-part, slow burn polyamorous love story about Percy, Annabeth, and Rachel. I've been working on it since 2022 (I think), and it's gonna be awesome!

2. There was a post I made about why Percy and Annabeth are compatible in battle that I'm proud of. If I can find it, I'll link it!

3. Such a difficult question! Stars on the Water and Star Light, Star Bright by liketolaugh on ao3 are both two fanfics that I deeply enjoy. Strongly reccomend!

4. Grover. I feel his shy-like nature overpowers his capabilities and social status in the books. He is more than just comedic affect to me, and I'd love to see more moments that showcase why and how!

5. Beckendorf and Silena. They both deserved to make it out, and it's a shame they didn't.

@splosh-crime thank you for these amazing questions!

Hey, I don't know if this has been asked before but what do the gods in God Syndicate think of the game series God of War?

The majority don't keep up with pop culture too well. Riley would know about it, the nature of their job keeps them talking with all sorts of people, so at some point someone would have mentioned it in passing when it was particularly popular. Riley would have brought it up to a few gods, but since it's about Kratos I don't think anyone would really care. Like "Ah, so the main character kills Ares. Okay." But then in later games when Kratos kills all the gods they might be annoyed. I think the person who'd hate it the most is Dame because... well when they learn what you can do with Aphrodite they'd feel gross. But I don't think any of them would have played it. The only one who regularly plays games is Mitch with Claudia, and sometimes Claudia forces other people in her life to play with her, but she's way too young for that game series.

If you’re still accepting prompts, I’d love to see what you could do with Spencer!

Ooooh, Spencer! He's so fun to hate on, honestly. It's neat to have characters like him in the series! That said, I have considered who he is as a character, and I do have some ideas...

(March is coming to an end, but prompts are still open until the end of the month! Details here!)

Spencer couldn't particularly say that he enjoyed visiting Sodor. It was too pastoral, too rural, and too overrun with cows for his liking; he was far more interested in spending time and sharing sheds with engines of high stature and great prestige than having to visit this backwater island with all of its barbaric little engines. Really, besides Gordon (as well as Connor and Caitlin, who he couldn't help but begrudgingly admire), there was nobody worth seeing on this godforsaken islet, and even then, it was fun visiting Gordon simply to demonstrate who was the superior Gresley between them.

On this particular trip, the Duke and Duchess of Boxford had come to enjoy the lavish surroundings of their summer home, leaving Spencer with little to do but sit around and wait. On previous trips, he'd assisted with building this very manor and even helping to restore the nearby Ulfstead Castle, but this particular venture seemingly held no such exhilaration; instead, he was made to sit and wait until their Graces wished to go gallivanting about the island, taking in the quaint local surroundings such as the zoo. Naturally, there were far better zoos available in London, but the Duke and Duchess somehow found joy in visiting all of these places of substandard and frankly insulting quality. Spencer couldn't understand it himself, but then again, what did it matter as long as he had the honor of escorting such distinguished personages?

As Spencer idled in his recently constructed shed, contemplating whether he might allow himself to indulge in the island's warm sunshine and enjoy a well-deserved rest, a bright peep peep! startled him back into wakefulness. Percy, that little green caterpillar, was fast approaching with a single car, albeit traveling at quite the slow speed.

As he pulled up to Boxford station, he gave a quick whistle, causing his crew to leap from his cab and the stationmaster (who was truthfully a glorified doorman) to leave his office and come to inspect. The smaller engine's crew opened the car to reveal a myriad of carefully packed packages, many of which were labeled as fragile. Given Spencer's close proximity to said station, it was quite easy for him to conveniently assess just what was going on; these were apparently items ordered by their Graces by which to furnish their manor, and Percy had been the one scheduled to bring them over.

Well. That was boring.

Wholly unsatisfied, Spencer let out a deep sigh, drawing the smaller engine's attention. "Oh! Hello, Spencer," Percy greeted hesitantly, eyes shifting over to meet the larger engine's. "...How are you?"

His tone wasn't as fawning or adoring as Spencer would have liked from a conversation partner, but it was a step up from that ridiculous Thomas or just about anyone else on this horrid little island, so it would have to do.

"I am well, Percy," Spencer intoned, a haughty smile coming easily to his face. "As always, I am doing my utmost to live up to the great expectations placed upon me by my illustrious designer and lineage—"

"You know, I've always meant to ask about that," the little green engine oh-so-rudely interrupted. "What is with you guys going on about your builder and your legacy and all of that?"

Spencer recoiled in shock, struck dumb with disbelief. "Are... are you serious? Do you have no pride in your origins? I, for one, was originally put to to paper by Sir Nigel Gresley himself! Of course I have a duty to uphold that great man's honor! But you seem to have no respect for your history at all!"

In the face of Spencer's passionate declaration, Percy could only make a noncommittal noise of "I guess."

"I don't know what to tell you, Spencer. I don't remember where I was built, and I also don't remember who designed me. All my life, I've worked, and worked, and worked some more. I have no idea what my history is, and even Sir Topham hasn't been able to puzzle it out."

The very idea of Percy's "obscure antecedents" was enough to make Spencer's face pucker in on itself, as though he'd swallowed a lemon. "Do you mean to tell me," the silver engine finally rasped, "that some little engine of uncertain origin has been tasked with bringing the Duke and Duchess of Boxford their precious cargo?!"

"...Yes?"

"...Ugh." The straightforward answer managed to knock all of the wind out of Spencer's metaphorical sails, prompting a scowl to peek out. "Right, well, seeing as some poor orphan like you couldn't begin to understand, I shall educate you. You see, engines like myself—and, though it pains me to admit it, Gordon—were built to be the best of the best at what we do. Our success is our designer's pride. And so, we mustn't tarnish his legacy by being anything less than exemplary!"

"Huh," came Percy's vastly unimpressed reply. "Well, congratulations, I guess."

This earned the tiny tank engine a rather severe pout from Spencer, who was fast becoming quite displeased that all of his self-aggrandizing was somehow not earning him the desired level of awe. "Listen here, Percy. Everything we are, everything I am, is tied to being a Gresley. I must prove that I am worthy to stand among them! Gordon is the First. Scotsman is Beloved. Mallard is the Fastest. So many other members of our family have earned prestige, and I... well."

At this, a rare spark of hesitation flashed across Spencer's face, but it was quickly buried beneath a smug smile. "I am still in the process of building my fame, but I've no doubt that I will do so, and take my own place in the annals of railway history."

Percy didn't immediately respond, but instead blinked owlishly at Spencer, as though trying to peer through the illusion of pride that Spencer so often projected. "But... why? Is that really what you want, or just what you think you should do?"

Spencer blinked once, then twice, his smile slipping from his face as he found that none of his prepared answers were sufficient to answer the question. Of course it was what he wanted; of course he wanted to establish himself as an untouchably glorious member of the vaunted Gresley family. One whose honor could not be questioned. One of the great families who stood above all others who rode the railways of the United Kingdom. That was a given. That was only to be expected. That was...

...

After a long, long moment, the silver engine shifted slightly in place, fixing the little green engine with a weighty gaze. "...The answers are one in the same, Percy. What I want is what all Gresley engines want, which is to contribute to the legacy of our designer, Sir Nigel Gresley, through my great prestige. That is how I will become truly Useful. Everything else is secondary."

Percy's brow furrowed in response, seemingly dissatisfied by the answer. "Ugh, I don't understand you! You're so selfish, but not even for yourself! It's all for the memory of your dead designer and a family legacy that nobody except for you Gresleys cares about anymore!"

Spencer couldn't look away from Percy as he spoke, stuck between wanting to take massive offense at his words, yet utterly unable to refute him. At Spencer's silence, Percy continued, clearly not finished with his thought.

"I may not have some family or railway legacy, but that just means I have to be really Useful through my own work and my own merit! Heck, that's true of any engine! If you think nothing matters except for approval from some dead guy and the stuffy people who care about stuff like that, then no wonder you're unhappy. I'm sorry for you."

Suddenly, there was a whistle, and Percy's crew started coming back. "Wait!" Spencer called, the sound shaking him from his stupor. "If... if not him, then who? Who am I supposed to get approval from?!"

Percy blinked, then gave the silver engine a look like he was an absolute idiot. "Are you daft? Your crew, your owner, and yourself! Duh!"

With that, the little green engine pulled away from the station, murmuring something (likely derogatory) about "trust fund engines," and Spencer could only watch him go, smokebox swirling with thoughts of what Percy had said. All his existence, he'd had it drilled into him that everything was temporary, but the Legacy was forever. No matter what he did, it was all to serve the Legacy; if scrapped, he'd be a martyr for it, and in life, he would work toward its glory. Working toward the Legacy was how Gresleys cemented their Usefulness.

And yet, here was Percy, poor orphan Percy, who found fulfillment, who fancied himself Useful, simply through the approval of the Controller and his crew. He wasn't beholden to his builder, or his designer, or any sort of legacy; all he had was his present, and yet, he could still smile so genuinely.

For once in his life, Spencer found himself at a loss for words. He'd wondered for years what had changed for Gordon once he'd some to Sodor, but perhaps he too had let go of the weight of the Legacy. Perhaps he too had shed its great burden, and that's why he shined so brightly now.

Quietly, Spencer let his eyes slip shut, savoring the breeze and the warm Sudrian sunshine. His encounter with Percy had given him much to think about, but for now, he would take his rest; something told him that he might not have such inner peace for some time.

Which pjo/hoo characters would be able to burp the alphabet?

[wifeiy]

people who kiss between your shoulder blades when you wear a backless top (or any that hangs low enough) while their fingers slide around your waist to hold you. they nip your skin and when you jump they say you can't blame them, it was too tempting, failing to hold back a satisfied grin

can anyone hear me

[quatregats]

Started reading archived versions of the Naval Chronicle and everything makes perfect sense now actually. I can see exactly how this led to both Hornblower and the Aubreyad

[watcher0033]

Do you dream?

My special thanks to the cinematic masterstroke of casting the actors as they are because head empty besides the fact of what I thought of when Poseidon gripped his neck and Percy tilting up his head like that to showcase those watery blue eyes and heartfelt expression was

S A L L Y J A C K S O N

And I have a feeling Poseidon had the exact same thought.

"that thirst for payback, it's not why orthax was drawn to us, it's why we were drawn to orthax!"

just thinking of "did it choose me because i was broken, or did it break me?" again

[artistofolympus]

you are SO good at anatomy whered u learn it??

ALSO I LOVE YOUR ART ITS SO PRETTY-

OMG thank you! Your art is also gorgeous

For me I definitely learned from references which is what everyone says so im gonna go into more detail 😅

On Pinterest there is this artist called mellon_soup and she does very good reference poses because her poses have lines which as a beginner I found super easy to replicate. I started out in my sketchbook and it definitely took a lot of practice however after a while I graduated to using people ,to get really specific poses which you can find anywhere on Pinterest. And I would just sketch the keys parts of the photos in a bright colour like red then remove the photo and start sketching over that in black ( it really helped me get a better understanding of the body! ). Currently if I find a good reference on Pinterest that’s what I’ll use. But what I definitely learned the most from is learning the key parts of the male and female anatomy like how the torso is from the neck etc.

 Sorry, this is a very long response. I’m a yapper😅 but also I love your nimona sketches I dream of having an art style that cartoonish!



[demigods-posts]

Idk if this was already asked before but I saw your old posts about the tlt musical and I was wondering, what's your favorite song from the musical?

thanks for the question!

If I had to choose, I'd say that 'My Grand Plan' holds as a special place in my heart because it describes Annabeth so well. She's just a kid who wants to be seen and valued for not just her strength and strategy as a demigod, but as a person. It's a desire that seeps into every action and deeply rooted fear within her. It's why she's so adamant on building something permanent and stable, why she's so protective over the people she cares about, and it makes her so beautifully human. I love this girl to pieces. Truly.

One of my favorite cut songs from the entire musical is a song called 'Try' that highlights Percy, Annabeth, and Grover's fears and hopes while on the quest. It's such a touching moment listening to them let down their guard and be there for each other at their most vulnerable. It does an incredible job at showing how important their friendship is to each other, and it makes wanna cry lol

so what Baset linage does Percy come form?

also what do they think of kitten?

So, I'm still super new to WOD & deciding & writing lore for Percy, i'm not sure yet what linage yet, and what that fully means? If you're asking the type of feline, or such :3

As for what Percy thinks of Kitten, I have a bit of a few timelines.

if we want most identical to the HTP canon, Percy thinks highly of Kitten! Often following his lead of curiosity and sharing the love of theory regarding the supernatural, and taking tips from him on how to stay more emotionally regulated in tense situations.

I have an AU that's a more, Percy taking the role of Kitten? (( Selfshipping with Marckus AU )) which gets to focus on the Hunter / Monster dynamic a bit, and I just think its really neat :3

A monster x monster hunter type, and then the Fera already having the experience of "not fitting in" and it becomes more so when Percy joins team Hunter, which I feel would be seen by other Fera perhaps as a 'traitorous' thing to do?

and the other AU is a mix where Percy doesn't replace kitten but its more of a polycule w/ Mittens. ( I love them both im sorry )

generally, I just adore the worlds setting and characters and its a real fun way to express the creative parts of my brain as well as coping with the horrors (tm).

:3 i'm happy to answer more questions !! ( lowkey getting my friends in on this too so may have more on the au as i write w them !! )

( if the ogrepoppenang sees this ignore me PLS :sobs: )

[valewritessss]

What do you think Percy and Annabeth would do for their last name if/when they get married?

Hyphenate or Annabeth gets his last name. I think realistically she could and would just take Jackson but I can’t let go of how badass Annabeth Chase sounds so I’m just gonna say they hyphenate😭

[artemx746]

I think it would be so much funnier if, instead of saying ‘how did *mortal parent* pull a god/goddess’ we started saying, ‘how did this god/goddess pull THEM?’
