#LASSIE IS HEPHAESTUS??!!?!

[squeezetheduck]

Y’all the way I screamed when I saw that Timothy Omundson was playing Hephaestus

[thegroundhogdidit]

HEPHAESTUS :D

[itspercyintime]

8 year old Ray would be absolutely APALLED that I didn't recognize Edge as Ares. I was up every single monday night watching wresting with my parents. I knew all their names, I knew the lore, I had the merch, I knew what certain moves were called. Wrestling was my shit and almost ten years later I didn't recognize Edge when he was literally right in front of my fucking face 💀

[tending-the-hearth]

HOLY HEPHAESTUS WE HAVE OUR GOD OF THE FORGE

[arrowheadedbitch]

Okay, I've been discussing ideas about a PJO Psych crossover and it is now time to share my findings

Okay, so once upon a time Henry Spencer met a woman who when posing as a mortal went by the name Madeleine but she was actually a goddess, they had a kid, she was a minor goddess, so she was able to stay for a while, but eventually she left.

Yes, of COURSE Shawn thinks it's his Dad's fault

The goddess was Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of MEMORY and the mother of the muses (works perfectly, right??!??!?!)

And Gus is his Satyr protector!!!

Henry does all the same training with Shawn to be a cop and such

Shawn gets his eidetic memory from his mother, the goddess of memory

I've also decided he gets taskmaster powers (can do anything he sees from memory) because that fucks hard

Shawn gets the record of fastest kid to get claimed as his mother officially claims him before he even leaves for camp

Here's her symbol by the way!

Anyway, when Shawn gets to camp, he's a total little shit

At first, the other campers think he's just not being claimed, depending on how you work the timeline here? Percy is pissed

Then Gus and Shawn explain that he actually got claimed before he even showed up (Percy vows to personally thank his godly parent for being an actually decent person)

So, they ask who it is, and Shawn WILL NOT TELL THEM

Why? Because it's funner that way!

They have an ongoing tally and betting pool of who his godly parent is, no one guesses it

He also keeps sneaking Mr D alcohol because it's funny and no one but Dionysus is happy about that

Gus is still his best friend that he drags into things, obv, they probably end up soul bound just like percy and grover

Juliet is a child of Athena

Lassie is a child of Ares and if your going by the show there's a super funny joke about how he looks exactly like Hephaestus but is the son of the guy he hates most, haha

Shawn KILLS at capture the flag

No one believes him when he says he doesn't have charm speak

Instead of becoming a SB Psychic, he ends up being this crime solving traveling cryptid (he's gotta keep moving bc monsters) (dont worry, he still visits camp pretty often and likes to drop by Santa Barbara to solve crimes and piss off his dad)

There was also a lengthy convo about each gods opinion of him of any of you wanna hear that

Shawn is the muse of doing weird shit

Also art lover shawn 🔛🔝, he's got plenty of muse talent, yall

Instead of pretending to be a psychic, he's pretending to NOT be muse adjacent

And now, a list of Gods people keep guessing for Shawn

Dionysus, Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, Hecate

And finally, gay people real???

As you can see, we mostly talked about Shawn lol

I feel like the best part about the Percy Jackson TV show is that I finally get to share my favorite book series of all time with the rest of my family.

My mom hates reading, one of my little sisters doesn’t like it, but she’ll read sometimes, and then the youngest has a lower reading level than us because, well she’s the youngest, so she’s been readin book one for about six months. And my dad is just more into books aimed at adults. (At least after years of convincing, my brother read the books)

But with this show, I get to share so much love with my family. My mom was telling me the other day about how much she loves Annabeth. And my two sisters thought it was so cool that Timothy Omundson was Hephaestus, since they know him as Lassie from Psych.

And I get to share so many memes and tumblr posts about Luke’s betrayal with me brother, since he knows what’s coming, but half of my family still doesn’t know!

I love this show

[lilislegacy]

guys i really think im onto something here

shawn spencer = percy jackson (they’re both incredibly talented but act like ridiculous idiots. never take anything seriously even if they’re about to die)

burton guster “gus” = grover underwood (they follow percy/shawn on all their adventures and are very loyal, but will be terrified the entire time)

juliet o’hara = annabeth chase (both very skilled, intelligent, and intimidating. badass girlbosses)

the question is, who is lassie? (and don’t you dare say Hephaestus)

[myfeelingshavefeelings]

Timothy Omundson is doing a great job as Hephaestus but my brain still went "omg it's Lassie!" when I first saw him

[swans-chirping-in-the-distance]

WHY IS LASSIE HEPHAESTUS????

[lockandkeycake]

I love that they got lassie from psych to play Hephaestus since Leo canonly sings the psych themesong in the demigod diaries.

[avionvadion]

I am still thriving over the knowledge that Hephaestus is Lassie from Psych.

LIKE MY MAN LASSIE IS HEPHAESTUS. THAT'S SO CUTE, YA'LL. I LOVE THAT FOR HIM.

[xsupernova500]

They really got Lassie to play Hephaestus!

Character Intro: Cedalion (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Iron Kid by Hermes

Lio by his parents and others

Age- 15 (immortal)

Location- Forgia district, New Olympus

Personality- Even though he's a bit closed off & reserved, he's also incredibly tenacious, observant, and ingeniously creative.

He has the standard abilities of a god except shapeshifting. As the demi-god of smelting ore his other powers/abilities include limited pyrokinesis, partial fire/heat immunity, ferrokinesis (metal manipulation), & enhanced craftsmanship. It's often said that his natural scent is the mixture of copper and shoe polish.

He's one of the very few demi-gods in the pantheon. Lio is of mixed heritage. His mother is Chrysanta (goddess of metal) while his father is a cyclops named Aurelius. The three of them live in a brownstone in the Forgia neighborhood of New Olympus. They also have a vacation home in Lemnos. In Lio's room it's meticulously neat & organized, the walls painted a cool blue and steel gray. There's a section in his room dubbed the "media center"- complete with the latest flat screen television, his computer system with four adjacent monitors, his laptop, tablet, & Talos Core VR/gaming systems). His bedroom door is made out of Celestial Bronze and his footwear is exceptionally polished.

The usuals for him from The Roasted Bean are the large iced coffee, dark chocolate mochas, & chai tea. He also likes dark cherry cola, root beer, as well as his mom's mango lassi and masala chaas.

Lio has a design book filled with sketches & ideas for automatons and other tech inventions.

He never misses breakfast! Some of his favorite morning dishes include scrambled eggs (added with bacon & spinach), onion poha, set dosa (served with coconut chutney), and avocado toast. He'll also enjoy a bowl of Choco-Crunch cereal.

He loves snacking on peppered beef jerky and salt-vinegar chips!

Lio's currently on break from school. He's constantly overthinking about his induction ceremony. He doesn't care about the little cliques the students have grouped themselves in. Lio will talk to anyone who he thinks is a good person. Other godly students include Eileithyia (Ella) (goddess of childbirth), Philautia (goddess of self love), Eirene (goddess of peace), Eunomia (goddess of law & legislation), Heimarmene (Marnie) (goddess of shared fate), Eleos (Ellie) (goddess of mercy, pity, & compassion), Circe (goddess of sorcery), Eiresione (Ren) (goddess of offerings), and Morá (goddess of babies & children). Lio is close with Telesphorus (Rusty) (god of rehabilitation), Dysnomia (goddess of anarchy & lawlessness), and Theodon (god of reality, uncertainty, & fate). He'll also watch out for Koalemos (god of foolishness) during the dance class they share.

At school Lio's a part of the blacksmithing and robotics clubs & is even friendly with some of its members- including the twin cyclopes named Eligius (Eli) and Ferron.

He may have a quietly growing crush on Dysnomia, but hasn't said anything out of fear of jeopardizing their friendship. Sometimes at lunch Rusty will shoot him a knowing glance.

In the pantheon those he holds in high esteem include the three blacksmithing cyclopes, Aetna (goddess of volcanoes); who he used to have a crush on, Techne (goddess of arts, crafts, & invention), and his official mentor- Hephaestus (god of the forge). Lio greatly admires the forge god's intelligence, tenacity, & otherwordly ingenuity. His parents gave him their blessing for him to be able to intern for Hephaestus at his main forge workshop during the weekends. After graduation, he hopes to get an official internship at iCHOR Tech. Lio also likes the messenger god Hermes.

His favorite dessert from Hollyhock's Bakery is the dark chocolate fudge-peanut butter brownies and he also likes the chocolate root beer milkshakes from The Frozen Spoon.

Even though he wasn't born with dominant traits, Lio feels very connected to his cyclops heritage. He and his father have a close relationship as well as having a good relationship with his father's side of the family. A lot of family members on his dad's side are from & live in Lemnos and Lio loves spending time there hanging out with his cousins. A notable memory was when he, his father, uncles, & a few of his cousins went lava surfing!

Lio doesn't have a Fatestagram, but he does have a PanopTube channel where he mainly posts gaming streams and tech help videos.

Even though his mom & friend own a dragon and Lio himself has thought of getting one, he hasn't followed through due to his agrophobia (fear of heights).

He respects and cherishes his mother, thinking that she's the closest thing to perfection!

His favorite meal ever is mattar paneer served with white rice and naan. He also likes the double olympian burger (with extra mayo and bacon) with olympian sized onion rings from Olympic Chef.

In his free time Lio enjoys playing video games, skateboarding, football (soccer), rollerskating, cooking (with his parents), chess, laser tag, reading (his favorite being comics), lava surfing, swimming, & spending time in the workshop.

So head detective Carlton Lassiter, aka Lassie is cast in the new Percy Jackson show as Hephaestus. This is exciting and can't wait to see him as a Greek God.

[imacelestialbeing]

[lokigodofaces]
