Summary:

As a daughter of Hypnos, Daphne lives in the shadows of her own dreams. With a voice too quiet for war and a natural gift for bad luck, she fights to be seen.

Meanwhile, Luke is in danger of losing himself among the wreckage of his feelings and the urge for revenge. Little does he know that he is opening the door to an even greater evil.

The rise of the Titan begins in secret, fueled by the fears of a boy and the hopes of a girl who are no longer sure whether their desires will save them or lead them to ruin.

As reality and nightmare threaten to collide, Daphne has to make a decision: to keep running or to become visible. For herself. And for the boy she has risked everything for.

I was a bit depressed when all I came across in this fandom where oc‘s from the big three or main gods instead of children from lesser gods like Hypnos.

Which is why I decided to just write my one story and I would be honored If you gave it a chance (also if you gave justified feedback bc I really wanna improve my writing and English isn‘t my first language.)

There‘s also a German version if anyone wants to give it a try!

Being A Child Of Hypnos Would Include:

Narcolepsy and insomnia

Yawning 24/7

(+ accidentally putting others to sleep by yawning)

dream manipulation (being petty and terrorizing those who crossed you with nightmares)

always having to defend your eyebags and lack of sleep

Accidentally falling asleep during a yoga session

Being shitty in PE and in fighting in general

Being everyone‘s nightmare teammate in capture the flag

But it‘s no problem at all, since you can just knock monsters/enemies out by putting them to sleep in the blink of an eye

But you have to stay awake long enough (which definitely IS a problem)

Inducing sleep and placing people into coma (only those you hate of course)

Sleepy cuddles and sleepovers

Being the camp‘s unofficial sleep therapist (helping those suffering from ptsd by altering/control their dark memories and manipulate their sleep patterns)

Planting lot‘s of poppies on the cabin grounds

Writing dream diaries

Travel into someone else’s dreams (visiting/chilling with your favourite celebrity or your current crush)

Creating dream-like illusions (but the bigger the change of perception the greater the loss of strength and the bigger your power nap)

Sleep Enhancement (healing faster while you‘re asleep)

Supporting the Apollo kids with healing the battle-wounded (by placing the patients into a controlled coma)

sleepwalking (+ scaring a lot of campers)

Drinking hot chocolate or honeyed milk + Eating lot‘s of marshmallows

Legendary pillow-fights

ethereal, dream-like appearances (foggy eyes, silky hair, sleepy facial expressions)

No sibling fights (unless you wanna be terrorized in your sleep)

Seriously the Oneiroi (especially Phobetor, Phantasos and Morpheus) are no joke (so you better DON‘T step on a slug (Phobetor will take revenge on you))

Hi love. I’m trying to write a Spencer fic and was wondering if you had any tips on making sure it’s not out of character?? thank!

Aaaaaa, you’re so sweet for thinking of me. I’ve shared some general tips on characterization, but I’ll try to make a more Spencer specific post here.

Things to keep in mind when writing Spencer Reid:

He’s a germophobe. He will always be hesitant to shake hands, hug, or engage in activities that would require a lot of physical contact. He claims this is different after prison, but still shows reservations.

He’s a technophobe. He canonically is terrible with computers, and is likely averse to texting and videotaping. This is the one I probably see ignored the most in fanon. He contradicts himself about having an e-mail address, but he likely does in later seasons. He also does frequent online messaging boards (like Reddit).

He doesn’t like to drive. Gubes himself said he likes to pretend that Reid doesn’t even have a license (although he’s driven a few times).

He’s very insecure. Especially about his sanity and how other people perceive him. This is especially true when it comes to his physical appearance and his ability to do traditionally masculine things (like sports). He has a lot of internalized ableism regarding schizophrenia. He’s also deeply insecure about what he’s doing with his life and not falling in line with where he should be (having a family, kids).  

His anger is unique. When he gets angry, his voice is usually quieter rather than louder. He becomes more still and more serious. He talks less. He’s very petty and not at all good at hiding that emotion.

Remember what season Reid you’re writing. They are all VERY different. Early seasons Reid feels he has a lot to prove to the team. Post-Maeve Spencer is quick to anger. Post-prison Reid is a lot more spontaneous. The later in the series we get, the more like Gideon and Hotch he becomes.

"Actually...” & “Did you know...?” Get used to them. 

(More below the cut!)

He talks with his whole body. Most of us know this so you don’t have to explicitly write it, but it helps picture what’s going on. People who are around him often will notice he licks his lips a lot when he’s thinking, he moves his hands a lot while ranting, and he narrows his eyes when he’s confused. He avoids eye contact when he’s sad, and maintains it when he’s angry.

He’s very private. There are a lot of things in his life he prefers to keep away from the team, not to mention anyone else he knows. Remember even JJ feels there is an entire side to him she’s never seen. In a behind the scenes, Jane Lynch said that Spencer was rarely told that he was loved as a child, and that he didn't receive a lot of physical affection. He reflects this when he tells the team he never really tells them how much he loves them.

He has a lot of empathy. He (normally) wouldn’t lash out at a person unless they’ve given him a very big reason. I’m talking they better be the unsub or have personally slighted someone he knows. He’s very polite because he’s studied social behavior for so long (even though he struggles to recognize when he’s crossed a social boundary).

He is unaware of his own quirks. He has a hard time with social cues when they are at him, as opposed to viewing an unrelated third party. He doesn’t describe himself as autistic despite obviously being autistic. He will eventually pick up on when people are making fun of him or annoyed with him, though. Just takes a minute.

He’s great with kids (and even teenagers). These interactions become better throughout the show. He explains that he still feels like a boy genius, even as he grows older.

He’s an addict. This means he’ll separate himself from situations where drugs and alcohol are present in copious amounts. He’ll drink occasionally, but not often or in large amounts. This would be akin to a relapse and should only be associated with either very large celebrations or something horrible.

He’s hesitant to curse. He’ll do it, but only when he’s very frustrated/angry. Even when he does, he often lowers his register when he curses. Limit the use of curse words.

I’m sure there are way more. This is what I could think of off the top of my head. As usual, try to picture Spencer saying your dialogue. If you can’t hear it in his voice or see his body language in your head, there’s probably something off. 

Even more important: Picture each of the team member’s reactions. If they would be stunned/confused, something is DEFINITELY off. I actually think nailing the characterizations of the team is important for this very reason. Often when I find Spencer out of character, so are JJ and Hotch.

Those two characters are incredibly important to Spencer and he’s (doing the autistic thing and) mimicking a lot of their behaviors the longer he’s around them. Remember that JJ is very maternal, protective, and insecure about her place. Hotch is serious, loyal, and private. If you picture them as Spencer’s parents, it’ll make a lot more sense how Spencer would react to certain situations. It’s a blend of the two, lol.

Okay I’ll be quiet now. If you have any more specific questions, please DM me or we can talk about it on the Discord!
