headcanon that Leo needed glasses but didn’t know until TOA. And even after he found out, he still didn’t wear them because he always forgot

NONONONONO YOU GUYS DONT GET IT THE GODS ARE AMERICANIZED!!! ZEUS IS A PARANOID TYRANT BECAUSE THATS HOW AMERICANS THINK OF KINGS!!! POSEIDON IS MELLOW RATHER THAN TEMPERMENTAL BECAUSE THE ANCIENT GREEKS DIDNT KNOW HOW TO TRAVERSE THE MEDITTERANEAN AND THE SEA WAS VERY DEADLY TO THEM BUT AMERICANS VIEW THE SEA AS A VACATION!!! ARES IS VULGAR AND CRUEL AND A BULLY BECAUSE THATS HOW (most) AMERICANS VIEW WAR - AS A LAST RESORT BECAUSE WAR IS RUTHLESS!!!! DEMETER IS AN OVERBEARING MOTHER IN LAW BECAUSE AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN ANCIENT GREEK WOMEN AND NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE WHO THEY MARRY SO IN THIS VERSION OF THEIR STORY PERSEPHONE MADE THE CHOICE TO WALK INTO THE UNDERWORLD AND BECOME A QUEEN AND STEP INTO HER OWN POWER BUT HER MOTHER CANT LET HER DAUGHTER GROW UP AND TRIES TO HOLD ON TOO TIGHT - THEIR STORY IS STILL THE PAIN THAT A LOT OF MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS EXPERIENCE JUST DIFFERENT TO ANCIENT MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS!!!! THEY'RE MODERN!!!!! THEY'RE AMERICANIZED!!!! PLEASE NO LISTEN TO ME THEY REFLECT THE CULTURE AND THE TIMES LISTEN TO-

Are you ever typing something that your phone autocapitalizes and you go back and re-type it just to force uncapitalize it. Like no sorry mcdonalds doesn’t deserve that level of respect from me

with camp jupiter being more "militaristic" than camp half-blood, i've decided to run with it. i think everyone in the legion gets their army nickname and is called exclusively by that. if you don't know what i mean, it's common that soldiers in the army get a nickname based on an embarrassing incident/trait they have. to be clear, it's never not embarrassing. even if it seems heroic, it's not.

here's my two cents on what i think their nicknames would be:

jason – "staples". no further comment. sometimes they'd also call him "barcode" (coz of his tattoo)

reyna – "blackbeard"? (fired from a canon badly during her first wargames) (nobody's aware of the significance to her past actually lmao)

octavian – i think octavian actually IS his nickname. he's the eighth child in his family and he's a little weasel suckup, so he got (nick)named like that to be reminded of it

dakota – "kool-aid man"? "bloodshot"? (the red stain all over kinda looking like blood)

hazel – "pony girl" or "sparkles" (as in someone attempted to reference my little pony, but couldn't remember the names) coz you know. she likes horses. she probably talks to them more than the legionnaires the first few months in cj. also she'd sometimes get called "drop dead beauty" because of the fainting

frank – "carebear". you know why

mike kahale – "loverdove". the venus tattoo is a dove, and everybody loves to make fun of the jacked venusian football player (until he threatens them lol)

lavinia – "superglue", sometimes "sticky". got surprised during training and her gum fell out of her mouth, getting all over her and she couldn't properly even grab her manubalista because her hands were so sticky.

random compiled list of (almost) all the hcs i have on jason grace

he's got loads of dental issues that he has yet to acknowledge because there were no dentists in new rome. he is unaware that he even has these. hes missing a tooth or two from fights and has wisdom teeth that have started coming in.

popular hc: iron deficient. not given enough nutrients as a kid. wolves weren't exactly paying attention to if he got his daily intake of iron.

anisocoria. leo thinks it looks very cool. will is shaking in his boots because he knows damn well thats a symptom of brain damage and literally no one is acknowledging it.

gets frequent migraines because of his head trauma. piper lets him borrow eye masks and earmuffs and hide in her closet during them. does leo make gay jokes about the closet? absolutely.

jason didn't have a favorite color until 16. he was unaware he was allowed to feel strongly about colors until 15. he likes orange.

leo forged matching anklets for he and piper. jason wears his as a bracelet. on the same path, the trio made friendship bracelets. piper used hers as a pretty and functional hair tie, leo used his as an anklet (less likely to get incinerated in the forge that way) and jason was the only "normal" one who wore his as an actual bracelet.

his favorite food is pretty much anything leo makes. specifically tamales.

his favorite candy is jelly beans. his favorites are the strawberry ones. leo makes sure to remind him that he is Wrong everytime he catches jason with any, and that there are clearly more superior candies.

no comprehensible music taste. likely because he's divorced from society. but he'll listen to anything leo sends him, so thats a plus.

really good with hair. he looks like he'll ruin your hair but no, leo's hair has literally never looked better. cabin 10 teams up with him to fix the cabin 15 kids' bed head. its mostly because wolves groom each other's fur so he learned very quickly.

sleeps in the monster infested woods whenever he decides he is done with cabin 1.

scared of storms because he knows that if his mother lied to him once, she will again. a total of four people know about this and they all keep this secret for him like their lives depend on it.

there have been at least two occasions where rachel has opened the door to cabin 2 to find him napping in there.

he likes cuddling with people. his primary love language is touch. inspired by wolves sleeping together in their packs

the first full book in English he read was Wild Rescuers: Guardians of the Taiga by Stacy Hinojosa. no, he does not know what a minecraft is. he read it because he saw wolves on the cover.

he keeps breaking his glasses. its gotten to the point where he keeps extras on him just in case.

he loves epics. has at least one copy of the Odyssey in his possession. its weathered because of how much he reads it.

refuses to yell in arguments because he refuses to be like his father

likes coffee. also likes tea, but prefers coffee.

this was longer than expected.

jason's hair was cut and cropped military style in the beginning of hoo, and in boo it was mentioned his hair had grown out longer, signifying his growth and finding his place after being with the greeks. but in tbm, jason cut it again, going back to square one, because that's when he realized he lost his place in camp half blood and will never truly belong there.

the lost trio is currently well-known throughout the camp as major rulebreakers. its not like they break every rule, or major rules, but it is so goddamn consistent. all the cabin 10 and 9 kids are fully aware that if they get up at night theres a decent chance theyll see piper, jason, and leo sitting in a circle on the floor clutching some uno cards. they hide in the alcove that the statue cant see whenever they visit jasons cabin and chiron has given up on trying to stop them because they ALWAYS have an excuse as to why they're playing board games in places they are NOT supposed to be at three in the morning.

when i look up a knitting term, the last thing I want is an ai overview. I want a 60+ year old woman with no understanding of lighting or helpful camera angles who still manages to give the most concise and clear explanation of how to execute purl 2tog through the backloop. ai summary fuck off, where is phyllis?

a lot of media assumes robots would be immortal but i think its a lot more interesting to explore robots dealing with their parts wearing down and battery life shortening and all the horrible little failings that come with being a complicated machine. sure they can replace parts but you'd assume you cant completely ship of theseus them, or it'd have pretty big rammifications on their sense of identity. idk. give me robots with distinct, unique signs of aging. as a treat.

the problem with water is like. it's the cleaning fluid right. that's the obvious part. you stop drinking and you stop peeing and your kidneys are like ough. ough. ough. ough. but you don't die. unless you're not drinking anything At All and not eating watery food either. so all it is is you pee less but you're okay. kind of.

BUT THEN when it gets too hot it starts being the coolant! and suddenly there are so many ways it can get out! you have so many sweat glands and so much skin and they all need to be cooled down before you DIE.

but then. you realize the least obvious one. it's the transmission fluid. it's the fucking transmission fluid. you can't transmit SHIT without your fliud. which is still fucking water somehow.

so now you're LEAKING your transmission fluid out of every goddamn pore and your kidneys are like hey. gimme that cleaning fluid cmon dude. while your pores are like ITS COOLANT. NEED COOLANT. FOR THE FIRE. NEED MORE COOLANT. SO MUCH FIRE. KILL IT. KILL IT MORE. MORE COOLANT. and then. the rest of you. that uses all that fluid to transmit things. it's like hey. hey. hey what the fuck.. i need that. hello? can anyone hear me? hello? it's so dark in here..

and then you drink more water or you die.

every time I mention how many days sober I am I appreciate people congratulating me and telling me to keep up the good work. it is nice. but I also wish that milestones in addiction recovery weren’t still so pinned to length of sobriety/abstinence

yeah yeah I’m 50 days sober who cares. how about the fact that, when I do drink, it tends to be nipped in the bud after two days nowadays instead of weeks or months? how about the fact that drinking has been condensed to a six pack because I’m at the end of my tether, instead of browning out every night? how about my friend who has decided to stop drinking alone, and is actually sticking to that? recovery doesn’t always look like sobriety and I wish it was more normal to talk about that. yknow. when addiction is normal to talk about at all
