You know what would make a great villain in the Percy Jackson universe?

The mortal sibling of a demigod who died fighting in Kronos army.

They're not a demigod so they don't know the full story. And their older sibling died before they could finish explaining everything.

All they know is that their older sibling was something more than they seemed and some guy named Percy Jackson rose up an army to kill him.

So they spend years looking for Camp half blood, years looking for Percy Jackson. And they're not a demigod so there's no satyr to lead them there.

But then they finally find it they finally get the face off with Percy Jackson they have been wanting for years. And then they hear the full story.

Could you imagine the heartbreak of tracking down the people who murdered your sibling and the guy who was leading the army that did it, only to realize they had every right to do it?

Or maybe they don't realize, maybe they stubbornly hold on to the idea that this is Percy Jackson's fault. They've spent so long hating his name, they can't stop just cuz now they've met him. So maybe they blame him for their sibling turning in the first place. For the conditions they're poor sibling had to go through.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

[Gina Prince-Bythewood on Luca Marinelli] “He loved the character and gave him life in a very credible way. Between him and Marwan Kenzari is born a great complicity, necessary between two people who have been together for centuries. Luca’s eyes are full of soul, his Nicky is the heart of the group, he’s the most sensitive character of all of them.”

“There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia.”

I'm finding myself obsessed with the idea of Percy coming back to camp after his quest in TLT and being hounded by the other campers - not for being a hero or having gone on a quest or anything like that, but for his abilities as a son of Poseidon.

The Hephaestus cabin steals him for a week so he can talk to all the Pegasi in the stables and keep them calm while they're all re-shoed and have their hooves seen to. The process goes so smoothly that no one ends up in the infirmary for the first time in living memory, which earns Percy the Hephaestus cabin's eternal esteem.

Demeter cabin steals him to help with the ploughing - "Tell the horses we want straight!" - and irrigation.

Hermes cabin plays a paint balloon prank that makes the Big House look like tie-dye gone wrong, Chiron calls Percy in to pressure wash the whole building.

And so on.

I needed to be somewhere different. Maybe I needed to be someone different, too.
