#calling Hephaestus and Aphrodite all kinds of names

[sarafangirlart]

If your understanding of Hephaestus as a character and his relationship with Aphrodite comes solely from the GOW Games maybe stfu idk

[priniya]

hi lovie! could you do some percy (or leo, maybe both?? i love them sm hahaha) headcanons abt dating an aphrodite’s child?

I COMPLETELY LOVE THE IDEA OMG??? tysm for requesting anon <3

sorry if it’s not like you imagined it😭 it’s my first time with headcanons like that

dating percy as an aphrodite’s child would include . . .

okay you all gotta admit that if percy could, he would brag about his partner being so beautiful that no one can compete with them

i feel like he’s at the university and some guys are talking and he just waits for a chance to show you off and be like “they are literally a goddess’ child”

BUT IN FRONT OF YOU??? he’d get so awkward even if you were dating for so long

also i’m 100% sure annabeth would sometimes point it out and laugh at the way he turns into a hot mess around you

but tbh you thought it was cute, cus let’s be real. it’s percy jackson, if you weren’t a hot mess around him as well, who would you be?

if you two are sent on a mission together, he rarely thinks about himself first, always making sure you’re okay before he checks himself

in his dorm he probably has pictures of you sticked to the wall in like a heart shape and his roommates might make fun of him for being such a simp but those photos gives him strength whenever you two are apart 🔥

he’s all in for that relationship, he even officially introduced you to both his parents and paul

you taught him how to braid hair and whenever you stay at his mom’s he braid his sister’s hair under your supervision ☹️☹️

when he started dating you he probably became such a gossip guy LIKE hear me out, he started paying attention to details and people’s behavior to talk about it with you

“you won’t believe what i heard today from piper.” “nah, she didn’t told me about it directly, her body language did.”, “i know right, how could he do that to her?”

he’s all in for the tea‼️‼️‼️

OH and also when you began dating he started paying more attention to jewellery and his outfits upgraded so much??

HE IS ALSO SO JEALOUS OF YOU AND HE KISSES YOU IN PUBLIC WHEN HE CATCHES A GUY LOOKING YOUR WAY

“i know you’re a child of aphrodite but these people gotta know i am your ares. or hephaestus.” “wait, am i your ares or hephaestus?”

dating leo as an aphrodite’s child would include . . .

this man is head over heels for you, and i know i said percy also is head over heels for his partner but LEO is on different level

he often drags you to the bunker whenever he feels like it and make you sit there with him, while he crafts something (mostly for you)

that man dedicates all his work for you, like

“oh this? i made it for yn cus they said [insert thing] fall apart so i just… did it.”

ngl he is kind of insecure that you’d left him for a child of ares just like your mother did to his father. even though you reassure him he’s the one on your mind, it still stings him sometimes

getting an approval from your mom wasn’t even that hard as you thought it could be. though she wasn’t exactly the most delighted you were in love with her husband’s child but… love is love right?

pet names in spanish ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

n you would pick it up and surprise him by calling him something in spanish <3

EVEN THOUGH he’s insecure about history repeating itself he jokes about it way too much sometimes 😭😭

brags to jason about you so much jason wants to off himself and i am not kidding

he once asked you to charm-speak him just to see how it feels

“what? don’t be like that, mi amor. i gotta know what’s your power’s like in case you do it subconsciously.”

(that’s literally the dumbest excuse you’d ever hear but didn’t care, considering it was your boyfriend who asked)

MANY people says you remind them of charlie and silena and when you heard it for the first time, you broke down crying because it was such a good compliment

It turned out that getting you to go out with Luke was harder than he’d originally anticipated. Eager for the whole ordeal to be over and for him to be 50 dollars richer, he’d hopped down from his spot on a fallen log and hurried to meet you by the volleyball courts when your match ended. You, unaware of Luke’s agenda, were fanning your face to combat some of the sweat that had accumulated, quickly tightening the messy ponytail you’d tied. Luke watched you in your own world, unbothered by anybody watching you, unlike the rest of your siblings. Sucking in a quick breath for confidence he approached you.

“Hey there, girly,” He smiled, “How’re you doing?” You looked up at him, inquisitive for a moment but ultimately unimpressed.

“Sweating like a pig actually, and yourself?” You were barely looking at him, skulling an impressive amount of your water bottle quickly. He stared at you, not expecting to be dismissed so easily. He recovered smoothly, not prepared to give up so soon.

“You really know how to get a guy’s attention, huh?”

“My mission in life,” You shot him a cloying smile, now giving him your full attention, unable to help being slightly interested by his boldness. “But obviously I’ve struck your fancy, so you see it worked. The world makes sense again.” You‘d figured out his motives now and had no interest, so began the walk back to your cabin. He followed, much to your dismay. Couldn’t men ever take the hint?

“So I’ll pick you up Friday then?”

“Oh right, Friday, uh huh.” You kept your eyes ahead, dodging a few younger kids as Luke trailed after you, annoyingly optimistic still.

“The night I take you places you’ve never been before,” He said, and you looked at him in disbelief. The ego on this kid!

“Right, like the makeout clearing in the forest? Do you even know my name, Castellan?” Luke could tell that you were mocking him, but he still had high hopes.

“I know a lot more than you think.” He smiled then, a lopsided thing that would have been somewhat charming if you’d actually bothered to look. Instead you were already walking away, calling out a “Doubtful. Very doubtful,” over your shoulder as you picked up into a run, presumably to go tell Clarisse about the bizarre experience you just had. Luke watched you go, dumbstruck in the middle of camp.

Percy and Beckendorf watched the exchange from the porch of the Hephaestus cabin, the latter putting his head in his hands dramatically.

“We’re screwed,” He groaned and Percy winced slightly.

“I’m sure it’ll all be fine, dude. Luke has faced a lot worse than a teenage girl.”

When you sat at dinner that night, desperately avoiding the eye contact Luke seemed desperate on initiating, you almost told Silena about your bizarre day. You’d opened your mouth to start the story when you realised that she’d only be encouraged by Luke’s antics, pressuring you into going out with him for her own benefit and quickly shut it. She’d noticed your odd behaviour and searched for meaning in your face. Panicking for something to replace the conversation, you zeroed in on the necklace sitting nicely on top of her camp one.

“Where’d you get the pearls?” You asked, already dreading the answer. Silena only confirmed your fears, claiming them as your grandmother’s with a coy smile.

“So what? You’ve just been hiding them the last three years?” You were always closest with your grandmother, and you were sure she wouldn’t leave her favourite pearls for Silena over you.

“Daddy found them in a drawer just before summer.” Silena shrugged as if you weren’t sitting across from her, cheeks a blotchy red in your upset. “Besides, they look good on me.” Your hands itched to hit her as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ears, knowing exactly how much she was pissing you off.

“Trust me, they don’t,” You spat, quietly glad when Silena stalked off in a huff, amongst the first to leave the meal. You didn’t know how much longer you could argue with her before starting to cry, which you really didn’t want to do in front of the whole camp. You thought you were safe for the rest of the meal when Drew began speaking instead.

“You could try being nice sometimes, you know, people wouldn’t know what to think.” You rolled your eyes aggressively.

“You forget, I don’t care what people think,” You replied, taking in a spoonful of food.

“Yes you do. Everyone does. You know, with a new look you could have some serious potential.” You ignored her last statement.

“No, I don’t,” You emphasised, “You don’t always have to be who they want you to be.” You knew that wouldn’t impact Drew in the slightest, but you hoped it might resonate with some of your younger siblings — encourage them to nurture their internal beauty rather than accept the vain stereotype Aphrodite children were forced into. You pushed yourself out of the bench you were sitting on, needing a break from your insufferable siblings. As you dumped your dishes where they needed to be you saw Luke beginning to follow you and turned to make dead eye contact. Knowing you’d only scream at him (or worse) you gave him a dangerous look, accompanied with an almost imperceptible shake of your head. Not enough for anyone else to know you’d even acknowledged him, but enough to tell Luke to back off. He was smarter than you thought, as he held up his hands in a show of surrender, redirecting his action to innocently collect up his own dishes.

You may not have had any interest in knowing the boy, but you did appreciate that he knew when to back off. Or so you thought.

You were proven not-so-free from Luke Castellan the very next morning. It was the Aphrodite cabin’s day to check all the storerooms, and you’d volunteered to do the one which held all the weapons and armour near the sword fighting arena. You knew none of your siblings would come near if they could help it, mostly against weapons and the violence that surrounded the area, so you’d get a whole morning alone. It was peaceful attending to the chore, and you were allowed to use some of your Aphrodite eye for beauty. Of course, stacks of swords and assorted weapons could only be made so pretty, but you enjoyed organising them into neat rows, making it look as nice as possible — not that you would admit that to Silena or you’d be in her vanity chair receiving an unwelcome makeover in seconds.

You were just admiring your own sword, which you’d taken the time to polish while you were taking care of the others, when you felt a presence behind you. You didn’t react, assuming it was just some camper coming for a weapon, until he spoke.

“Nice sword, vintage hilt?” You tensed as Luke’s voice infiltrated your peace.

“Are you following me?” You disregarded his statement, an unimpressed frown present on your lips.

“I was training in the arena and needed to polish my sword. I saw you come in a while ago and not leave, I came to say hi,” He explained, and you raised an eyebrow. You weren’t friends, why would he come for a chat?

“Hi.” You promptly turned back to your task, shoving the cloth into the intricate designs of the hilt.

“Not a big talker, huh?” He persisted.

“Depends on the topic. My sword doesn’t exactly whip me into a verbal frenzy.” That wasn’t strictly true — the sword was a gift from your mother, with gold twisting around a blood red ruby in the centre of the hilt. After you’d made it clear that you weren’t going to just sit around during your time at camp she gifted you the sword, her way of saying that if you were going to fight, you should at least look good doing it. You’d had several conversations with Clarisse gushing over the intricacy of it, and profusely thanked Aphrodite for the gift in your offerings. You didn’t quite care to share this with Luke, being a relative stranger.

“You’re not afraid of me, are you?” He asked, and you were somewhat taken aback by the earnest tone of his voice.

“Afraid of you? Why would I be afraid of you?” You couldn’t help the incredulous laugh that crept into your sentence.

“Most people are.” He gestured subtly towards his scar — gnarled and twisted against his otherwise tanned skin. You put a hand on your hip, resigned to conversation now.

“Well, I’m not.”

“Ok, maybe you’re not afraid of me, but I’m sure you’ve thought about me naked.” You were pretty sure Luke was going for smooth or charming, but you thought in this moment he was entirely lame. The wink didn’t help his case.

“Am I that transparent? I want you, I need you. Oh baby, oh baby.” You put on your best Drew impression, nasally and whiny, before handing him the cloth he needed to polish his own sword and turning to leave. There, quickly approaching the door, was Ethan. Seeing you he put on a disgusting smirk and blocked the doorway, effectively caging you into the storeroom.

“Gods, what is it, asshole day?” You asked, not caring that both boys could very clearly hear you. “Do you mind?” You gestured to his blocking the exit. He simply looked down at you, clearly doing his best to appear sexy (and failing miserably).

“Not at all.” His stupid smirk was going to kill you, and not in the good way. You scoffed, giving him a last chance to get the fuck out of your way. Then, sparing a fraction of a glance back to Luke pretending to mind his own business, you slammed the hilt of your sword into his foot, wishing it was the blade instead. You watched him crumble to the ground, holding his foot with both hands.

“You bitch!” He yelled, voice cracking pathetically in the middle. You forced your smile to stay contained.

“Oops,” You feigned innocence, one hands covering your mouth strategically. “You might need some ambrosia for that…” With that you side-stepped him, eager to leave the situation. If you’d have looked back, you would have seen the gleeful, disbelieving smile on Luke’s face, probably the biggest one he’d worn in a while. Although he didn’t get the date he’d entered for, he was beginning to think you were a little more interesting than you let on.

“Did you just cripple Ethan?” Silena shrieked as you entered your cabin to grab your things. “He’s a model, you can’t do that! Has it escaped your notice that you’re completely psychotic?” You pretended to think for a moment, then shrugged nonchalantly.

“Guess your long walks on the beach are gonna have to wait,” You sighed dramatically, leaving Silena to wallow in her pity alone. It wasn’t like it was really your fault — if Ethan had learned how to respond to words or learn the meaning of ‘move’ he wouldn’t have gotten himself into that situation in the first place.

Meanwhile, Ethan and Luke were having a similarly emotional conversation after Luke had — very reluctantly — helped Ethan over to the infirmary to get his foot checked out.

“When I shell out fifty, I expect results.” Luke sighed, could this boy get any whinier?

“Yeah, I’m on it,” He said through gritted teeth, resisting the urge to hurt him.

“Watching that bitch obliterate my foot doesn’t count as a date. If you don’t get any, I don’t get any, so let’s get some,” Ethan said, running a hand through his ridiculously styled hair. Luke couldn’t believe his nerve. First of all, obliterated? He would be left with a bruise for a few days, if anything. Secondly, this whole things was Ethan’s idea, Luke had never given any indication wanting to ‘get some’, especially not with someone so clearly resisting his advances. Just as Ethan left, giving the Apollo girl treating him a douchebag smile, Luke hardened his resolve.

“I just upped my price,” He said, loving the way Ethan’s eyes widened like a cartoon character. “A hundred bucks a date, in advance.”

“Forget it,” Ethan grumbled, moving to leave again.

“Forget her sister then.” The two boys stared at each other, one significantly more amused than the other. Luke knew he had the upper hand in the dynamic, something he revelled in. Then, after the intimidation tactic clearly wasn’t having any effect, Ethan reached for his wallet, Luke admiring the crisp fifty he was handed.

“You better hope you’re as smooth as you think you are, Castellan.” Luke just watched him go, confident tilt of his head conveying his outlook on the situation.

Luke had taken his usual spot overseeing combat training, but his usual thoughts were long gone. Instead, he was entirely preoccupied with you. He didn’t know how to get you to go out with him when you could barely entertain a conversation, and he twirled his cigarette between his fingers as he pondered.

Percy and Beckendorf saw his internal conflicts, slowly moving closer to him under the guise of a very chaotic fight between the two. Finally Luke gave them attention, knowing Percy’s skills would never have him running all over the place like that. He raised an eyebrow, a sign for them to get on with whatever they were angling at.

“We know what you’re trying to do, for Beauregard,” Percy said, and Luke appeared almost startled.

“And we want to help,” Added Beckendorf helpfully, shying away when Luke’s eyes bore into his.

“And why would you do that?”

“Beckendorf here has a major crush on Silena—”

“Gods, what is it with this girl? Does she sweat nectar?” Beckendorf opened his mouth to protest when Percy spoke over him, knowing it would be more beneficial to let Luke lead.

“Look, I think we can both tell that Charlie’s love is pure, well-intentioned, better than, say, Ethan White?” Luke sighed, catching on.

“I’m in this for the cash, that’s it. Who Ethan wants to bang is of no interest to me.”

“There will be no banging!” Beckendorf cried as Percy pushed him behind. He was no use in a delicate situation like this.

“Ok, Luke, it’s just that we’re the masterminds behind this whole thing. We set it up so Beckendorf can get the girl — Ethan’s just a pawn.” Luke paid closer attention suddenly, intrigued by the chess match he’d been pulled into.

“So you two are gonna help me win her over?”

“We’ll do research, find out what she likes. We can be your guys on the inside.”

“In a strictly non-mission type of way,” Beckendorf added helpfully, nervous of the legends he’d heard about Luke’s failed quest. Luke chose to simply ignore that comment, and Percy filled the silence before he could get angry about it.

“Let’s just start here: the Apollo cabin is throwing a party on Friday night, it’s the perfect opportunity.”

“I’ll think about it,” Was all Luke said, a clear signal the conversation was over. Percy and Beckendorf returned to fighting, slightly more regulated now they had gotten what they’d wanted, and Luke brought the cigarette back up to his lips, new thoughts clouding his mind.

Meanwhile, Ethan had found Silena where she was known to hang out by the rocks near the lake. He was hovering next to her, providing snatches of shade as he performed pose after pose, claiming he had a modelling job lined up when he left for the year.

“So which do you like better?” He asked, moving his hands fractionally to the left of his chin.

“The second,” Silena giggled, tucking a strand of dark hair behind her ear. “It’s more… pensive.”

“Damn,” Ethan kicked the sand softly. “I was going for thoughtful. So, you going to the Apollo party on Friday?”

“Maybe.” She produced her best coy smile, looking up at him from behind her lashes.

“Good, ‘cause you know I’ll only bother if you’re there.” Silena smiled, getting up from her spot on the rock.

“Bye.” Her voice was airy in the way she knew drove boys mad. She walked away leaving Ethan wanting more, her specialty. You scoffed, catching the end of the exchange. You and Silena made momentary eye contact, tension thick between the two of you.

As Beckendorf approached Silena, fishing for more information about you, Ethan had caught you in his sights and wasn’t going to let you go so easily.

“You sister is so cute,” His voice infiltrated your bubble in a way that made you want to hit him so desperately. “Doesn’t have your bite though, a feisty woman is so sexy.” You knew he was just trying to get a rise out of you, but it was so close to working.

“Come any closer and I’ll show you just how feisty I can get,” You snapped, braid almost whacking him in the face as you turned to face him. You could have sworn Ethan looked afraid for a second before he covered it with bravado.

“One day you’re gonna realise that all of this hostility is just your sexual repression. Don’t worry, babe, I’ll be waiting with open arms… And legs.” You almost threw up.

“Gods, can’t you just leave me alone, asshole?” You yelled, trying to push past him to get anywhere else.

“C’mon, don’t be a prude,” He whined, and you were really close to taking him to the ground — not in the way he wanted.

“You heard the girl,” A voice called from behind you, and instantly Ethan took a step back. “She wants you to leave her alone.” Luke appeared behind you, a respectful distance away whilst still making his intentions clear. Ethan shrunk back into himself, making a lame excuse as to why he had to leave, hurriedly fleeing the beach. Reluctantly, you turned to face Luke.

“I’m not going out with you just for that,” You said plainly, daring him to try again.

“You think that low of me?” He laughed, dark eyes sparkling with mirth. You forced yourself not to notice. “I don’t have to want something from you to know that Ethan White isn’t worth your time.” It was your turn to be embarrassed at that, feeling slightly narcissistic for assuming that was the purpose of the conversation (it was, but Luke sure as hell wasn’t going to ruin his chances because you were in a mood, justified or otherwise).

“Oh.” You stared at his shoes. “Well, thanks, I guess.” You moved to leave but Luke stopped you, hand not quite touching your arm, unwilling to have it bitten off.

“So you do have a heart!” He joked, signature grin on his face. You wondered why you were seeing so much of it lately when he’d been so dour since his quest.

“Ha! You wish.”

“Don’t try to hide it, Beauregard, you’re warming up to me.”

“I’d sooner fuck Mister D,” You replied, actually taking your leave.

Luke watched you go, chewing his lip between his teeth. There was more to you than you let on, he was sure of it. He wouldn’t say it was any fondness, but he was starting to have a curiosity attaching itself to this scheme, and he knew that going out with you would satisfy it. He should have known having any personal stakes involved — sentimental or otherwise — would get dangerous.

Your own thoughts had barely budged on Luke. He was still a pain in your side and you figured you knew what kind of guy he was — not the type you had any interest in. Still, you couldn’t deny that you were appreciative he’d saved you from Ethan (and the inevitable washing up duty you’d be punished with when you beat him up), so maybe he wasn’t quite as despicable as you’d initially judged him to be. Close, though.

part three

[bright-eyes-strawberry-lies]

Rick leaned so hard into the incest for the first few books. There’s so many of these scattered throughout the books, causally mentioning that all of the campers share facial features and the traits their godly parents like the most. Not to mention calling each other by familial names (cousin, sister, uncle, etc…).

He should have just leaned into it instead of trying to retcon it and then retconning his retcon in the same paragraph.

“But the thing is, the godly side of your family doesn’t count, genetically speaking, since gods don’t have DNA.”

Well, that’s not what the other four books say but alright. We can pretend that this is what Rick meant all along. Problem solved. oh wait, there’s more…

“A demigod would never think about dating someone who had the same godly parent. Like two kids from Athena cabin? No way.”

But they’re not related. You just said they aren’t related. Most of the campers are also only there for summer, so they aren’t “like siblings” or “raised together as siblings” and they aren’t adopted. Why wouldn’t they date if they wanted to?

“But a daughter of Aphrodite and a son of Hephaestus? They’re not related. So it’s no problem.”

Yes, we know they aren’t related because gods don’t have DNA and because they aren’t “like siblings” or “raised together as siblings” or adopted. Kind of like how Annabeth and Malcolm aren’t related, aren’t like siblings, weren’t raised together as siblings, and aren’t adopted. So there’s no problem with Annabeth and Malcolm dating.

🙄

[my-pjo-stuff]

Hey so I just came up with this new au in my head.

So basically what happens is that for whatever reason the other Olympians who have demigod children, that being Ares, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, and Hermes all somehow managed to piss off Zeus so much that he decides to send them to live and camp with their children. Just like Dionysus.

(or he was already mad at them for something and Hera put the idea in his head. Since she likes none of them.)

So one early morning Chiron calls all the camp counselors into the big house to inform them of this. Needless to say none of them are happy.

Especially not Luke who is the de facto parent of these kids.

At first all the gods kindness stay in the big house complaining about their situation to Dionysus. But they soon tired of that, so they actually turned their attention to their children.... For entertainment.

Ares keeps starting fights between the campers. Apollo forces of them to listen to his poems & concerts, even though it's already midnight. Hephaestus criticizes and disproves of any of the metal work being done especially if it's done by his own children. Aphrodite keeps causing drama with crushes that the campers have, especially of her own children for her own entertainment. Athena criticizes every little thing that they do, ect, ect.

This makes Luke livid especially when he sees poor annabeth crying because of how many times Athena has criticized her or disproved her on the smallest things.

He also hates Hermes as he spends his time either ignoring his kids existence or telling them to steal something from one of the other gods in order to get his favor, which given the other gods tempers, it doesn't end well. Hermes also only talks to Luke occasionally trying to pretend like he isn't a horrible father. He even tries to bring up May but Luke shuts him down almost immediately.

The misery doesn't last long thankfully as for whatever reason Zeus decided his family hadn't been punished enough, and turns them into children. Children who are younger than their camp counselors of their cabin.... You can see where I'm going with this.

Some like Charlie or Katie simply ignore Hephaestus and Demeter's existence for the most part.

Clarisse is actually too scared to do anything to her father at first, for fear of the consequences later.

But Luke, Lee, Owen (the camp counselor before annabeth I made up in my head after reading some other fanfiction), & Seilena, immediately start bullying their parents as much as possible, in a passive aggressive way.

OK SO FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE THIS.

AND IT ALSO GAVE ME THOUGHTS OF A SEPARATE AU. But first off, holy heck so many more demigods would join Luke in this AU like???? Imagine all the kids meeting their parents and realizing what sort of assholes they are. Luke's "fall" to Kronos gets sped up SO MUCH????? At the end of TLT half the camp just dips all together at once, INCLUDING Annabeth who dragged Percy along. Ngl Hermes will have the worst time, especially with how crowded cabin eleven is. Luke needing to steal supplies for Percy in TLT means the campers don't get them as handouts. So Hermes better be good at locating them yourself! Aww did Aphrodite lose something? Sorry, no one saw it. Sorry you can't borrow it either- I just it too! Camp just slowly realizing how shitty their parents are- honestly wouldn't be surprised if, depending on how long they'll stay like that, end up tragically dead during Capture the Flag. Who needs dessert anyway, right Luke?

BUT ALSO IMAGINE THIS AU BUT THE GODS HAVING AMNESIA.

Like- Zeus decides leaving them with their memories would only cause issues since they'd obviously want to get back to godhood. And to him that would just be a lot of trouble, so instead he just erases their memories completely and throws them into camp. Let them rot there for a while, enjoy mortal life a bit.

Since they have no idea who they are, or what even their names are when they get to Camp they are obviously brought to the big house. Dionysus knows that those are the gods turned mortal, unfortunately though he's not allowed to reveal anything by order of Zeus. Not that he really would have, this is just too good.

With no knowledge of who these kids are, Chiron sees himself forced to improvise and calls up Luke and Owen to take them to cabin eleven until they are claimed. Luke is also the one who gives them names until they figure out their identities. Despite the arrival of 7 (apparent) demigods with 0 memory ofcourse caused a ruckus. But since no one knows that they are gods stuff settles down a bit after a while, they assume it was some freak accident or a monster attack. Meanwhile Luke and Owen are having their hands full taking care of these 7 kids. At this point Luke's already the unofficial official successor for counselor after Owen so he's reasonably involved.

Sleeping arrangements, getting them supplies, activities- it all needs to be organized for them and they need to be shown the robes. Since no one knows that they are actual gods they get treated like any other normal camper. And since there are no gods to claim them (SINCE THEY ARE THOSE GODS) they stay in eleven for practically their entire stay in CHB. Imagine them bonding with the other unclaimed kids over being "unimportant" to their parents. Imagine Luke comforting them about how shitty "the gods" are. Athena getting to bond with Annabeth over battle strategy. Ares getting to be beaten up by Clarisse during Capture the Flag. Demeter getting to plant with Katie. Apollo getting to go to archery classes with Chiron. And so on and so forth.

And they end up fully integrated into camp at some point! They live and think like any other demigod and everyone treats them like that. Luke looks after them, they have friends from other cabins and they sing along at the campfire.

They play games and train and angst over their "neglectful godly parent" and "amnesia". Everything seems to be going well, they are happy. The people around them are happy. The gods are happy. And then Zeus decides the punishment is enough, gives the gods their powers back and just fucks everything up. Because that does not go well. Zeus being Zeus didn't really check of course what they were doing before deciding to end the punishment or deigned to think about hos stressful it most be to not only suddenly become a got, but also get millennia of memories back in an instant. The gods were at the sing-along having a good time. Apollo was jamming out with the Apollo cabin leading the song. Hermes was reading to drop a water balloon as a prank on Aphrodite together with the Stolls. Heaphestus was happily basking in the warmth.

The fact that no true form of the gods was shown was dumb luck. One minute everything is fine, the next they are on the ground screaming as their divinity and memories are pressed into bodies too small to fit them- being stretched and forced to become what they once were. Everyone is scarred, kids are crying, and the Stolls ran to hide behind Luke when Hermes goes down alongside Annabeth clutching his leg. Zeus wanted them with him, so they were pretty much immediately ported to Olympus as soon as they were gods again. And FUCK is shit different now, 'cause now they are attached. Yes, they remember who they are now, but the memories of camp weren't erased! They spent years there. Years of living and laughing with their children. Years of being one of them.

And stuff is just so weird now like?????? All the anger with Zeus aside- they just, can't really view them as their "kids" now???? They feel more like- equals to them now. As weird as it is. Playmates, friends. Hell they just spent years with LUKE as their main caretaker! He was a better "Dad" than Zeus ever was! They still feel like they gotta listen to him 'cause he's counselor! Someone get Hermes some therapy for that mental dissonance of seeing his son as a parental figure.

Also, someone get them help for all the guilt. Because holy SHIT do they regret everything now. All the neglect, all the hurt, all the abuse. Because the gods get it now. They understand what it is like to be a child of them and live in the system they created. They understand what being a demigod means. They're sorry.

They want to be better.

And it isn't easy- god it couldn't be easy, but they somehow, someway get Zeus to allow them to visit camp freely. To support their kids.

And the gods swear to do better on the Styx, are excited to finally be real parents even.

Only to find camp terrified of them when they appear. The same kids treating them like friends and siblings cower, hide behind older kids and avoid their gaze when looking at them. Because they are gods. And they are cruel. Their children know that better than anyone.

[leynaeithnea]

Just finished your beautiful beautiful very yummy and very angsty analysis of love in paradise ( maybe I shed a little tear here and there, maybe I didn't, you can't know that ) so I thought this would be right moment to leave you an ask for a gods game analysis maybe?? *stares at you with big brown eyes*

Last one of this saga!!!! Yayyy

Praying ill remember all the musical parts ive heard about but im sure theres so much hidden i forgot/didnt hear about yet

30. God Games

We open with a choir of course, because...gods! Athena decides to do something (finially)

“Father, God King” (athena asks daddy for help SIJGSEIG)

“Rarely do I ask for favors” being the good favorite daughter

“Now, I’m knocking on your door, with hopes to save a friendship with one who’s a prisoner far from home....Odysseus” I LOVE the melody of this part somehow??? especially how the drop before “odysseus”, ALSO SHE CALLS IT A FRIENDSHIP INFRONT OF ZEUS TOO

“Divine intervention, is that what you seek?” ........yes, bruh. Zeus dont fuck this up, u are decent enough in Homers Odyssey

“To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?” okay i had to google “apprehentions, and apperently it both means “arrest” and “concern/fear”...........to untie the arrest on Ody, and at the same time the concerns of Odysseus THATS GENIUS, Ive heard Homer does a lot of these double meanings of words in his Epics and IM SO HERE FOR IT, also “that Greek”, come on, dont use it as a slur >:)

“You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame”..................NOW WHO PUT THIS SHAME ON HIM YOU MF, YOU WHAT KIND OF SICK GAME IS THIS-

“But if he’s worth the risk of going under, why not make it a game?” Lukes vocal performance in this part is something else, like dude??? hello? youre a tenor SIEJGSEIGJ, its good, also WDYM GOING UNDER??? HUH??? ....yeah of course you make it a game, because everything is a game to you, because really, theres nothing and noone who poses a thread to you

“Convince each of them that he ought to be released, and I’ll release him” the slight echo effect in that voice.......fascinatinggg, wish i knew if the melody in this part had any meaning, gotta look it up

“Who’s them?” Athena god of wisdom asking about details before agreeing to deals *cough* Odysseus, learn from your friend

“Apollo” APPOLO MY GUY ehehehehee

“Hephaestus” okay, fair

“Aphrodite” the wWAY HE PROUNCES HER NAME?? OMG

“Ares”, yea yea imposing yada yada

“Hera” cant exclude his wife

“Or me” OR me, so its ALL of them, or him? bruh

“What do you say?” WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO SAY

“Great” ehehehehe apollo <3

“Very well” just doing it because

“Eh” shes so excited

“Alright” he IS excited

“Groovy”....ok? um...imma move on

“Bring it” of course she would choose all of them over Zeus, its Zeus, he just WANTS you to loose, bc hes the god king

“Apollo!” parrot

“You all know I’m a fan of catchy songs” god of music yada yada HIS VOICE

“so with so many sirens gone, I think Ody’s in the wrong”.........there are so many reasons to dislike Odysseus and you pick the SIRENS? .......did you just join for the fun and had no real reasons or did u get dragged there or-....but its ok, your voice is amazing, also IIRC it should be the melody of suffering??? of different beast??? i forgorrrr norrrr also Lyreeee in the background! ehehehe

“They were trying to do him worse, All he did was reimburse them Now they’ll tread with caution first To live another day and sing another verse” maybe the melody was in this part. also, yeah tell him athena, what kind of argument is that, they tried to kill him he just did what he had to--------admittely he was VERY cruel about it, but athena doesnt have to mention that, and well Ody probably protected even more sailors in the future through his actions

ALSO DONT COME AT ME WITH “but all the sirens are dead” THERE ARE MORE, theyre obviously not talking about the sirens Ody killed, its about all other Sirens out at see that woudlve seen the others dying after being brutally cut down by a human, they WILL be more cautious in the future

“If that’s true, release him”, yeah u really had nothing to argue against, he just shrugs it off LMAO

“Hephaestus!” Hefefuf ehehehe ALSO JORGES DAD YAY adorable, tho when first listened i rly thought it was Jorge with voice changer again THEY SOUND SO SIMILIAR

“Trust is not given, it’s forged”...true, valid argument, Also Scylla melody??? I THink?

“Why should I give him my support? He sacrificed his own cohort”......well....um.....he didnt rly have much of a CHOICE ....but its a more valid concern, the sounds that sound like a hammers in a forge sound cool btw

“Did you forget they failed to listen?”.........yeah literally

“He was betrayed and then imprisoned” IMPRISONED AH ODY, but yeah EXACTLY, the WIND BAG, THE MUTINY AH

“But if you make the right decision He can still build a future with those who miss him” AND BUILD TRUST WITH THEM AGAIN AHHHHHHH yes. Hefefuf choose right.

“Fine, release him” good.

the music making it sound like steps in a game as you level up....fine, it sounds nice

“Aphrodite” seductive, i like it

“Your little high and mighty Odysseus” SHeS pissed, and does not like Ody you can hear the “high and mighty” in her voice :”) ouch

“Claims to love his mother But let her die of a broken heart” LIKE HE HAD A CHOICE IN THE MATTER HE TRIED TO GET HOME SHE DIDNT HAVE TO JUMP

“He was busy fighting”, yeaaah

“More like busy spiting the cyclops”.........yeah okay we can get behin that this was stupid decision but it wasnt a rational decision either he just lost his best friend, THATS LOVE TOO; GIVE HIM SOME SLACK

“Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot” WHY U BE SO COLD HEARTED , i love the melody/music in this tho

“Wait, please reconsider this”, athena using quick thought on a goddess, intriguing! also shes begging her :tear: aw man

“Really Athena? These old tricks?” annoyed older brother breaking into quick thought to the rescuse of his lover, makes him likeable somehow, i love the delivery of this line

“Ares!” yeah shes pissed

“What kind of sick coward Holds back his power While his friends get devoured? He didn’t even fight Scylla Didn’t even try to kill her Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done Never handles things upfront” sorry that he didnt want to DIE dude??? i get your concern with straight forward, open combat but???? is dying on the battle field rly that much worse than wanting to come home COME ON, he wins, he is EFFECTIVE, are you jealous of his stragedies? HE GOT MENTORED BY ATHENA; OFC HE WILL CHOOSE THE SMART WAY OUT NOT THE QUICKEST-WAY-TO-DIE WAY OUT smh

“Pathetic and weak like his son” thats a low blow what is your issue with telemachus bro, the drums for ares makes sense

“Hold your tongue now His son’s my friend” awwww shes calling him a frienddddddd

“And tell your lover that a broken heart can mend” AHAHAH “tell your lover”, true true

“You want more bloodshed? Then set him free To get back to his homestead, he’ll make everybody bleed” SEUHGSOUEGESH “if you let him back he’ll kill everyone” Ares: :D thats what i like to hear, Athenas piano playing again, as she fights Ares is fun too

“Ugh, release him”, what made them change their mind? Esp Aphrodite? was it Athenas concern for Telemachus? and for Ares athenas promise of bloodshed? maybe who knows

“Hey baby”.....okay, flirty? from Hera? alright, lets interpret it as motherly flirting

“Hera” how to hit those high notes

“So many heroes So many tales Give me one good reason why yours should prevail” NOW THAT is intersting, everyone else so far gave a reason NOT to release him, but now Hera asks her to give her one reason WHY he deserves to be released “dont tell me of all the sins he didnt commit, tell me of the virtue he holds” typa thing

“He’s got the mind of a genius”, fair, but there would be others

“Try harder”, encouraging, she doesnt rly want her to loose does she? she support it, she just wants to see if Athena is worth it, i do like this characterization (as long as i ignore the disco animatic, i know its Jorges creative freedom but my brain tries to refuse ANYTHING that would be a reference to modernity, let me live in the bliss of ignorance to pretend its a movie set in ancient greece x)

“He’s pretty skilled with words”, hes a lair, i love him for it

“You can do better than that”, ...yeah

“He’s kind of funny?” running out of reasons athena, also YOU THINK HES FUNNY? LMAO ur right, the odyssey is quite the commedy for anyone but odysseus (and a few others but yk)

“Eh” doesnt sound convinced heh

“Never once has he cheated on his wife” HA HA HAHAHAHAHA HA right thing to say to Hera

[also the whole debate about “did odysseus cheat or not” no. idc what anyone says. if anyone argues he INITALLY consented to Calypso: fine, its blurry in the narrative, anyone can choose how to interpret that as they wish, but Circe was bestowed upon him by Hermes (in the myth at least, in Epic there ofc very clearly refuses her, and she accepts him (hear that calypso? HEAR THAT CALYPSO)) and Calypso, at the very least later on turned VERY unconsensual. FOR SEVEN YEARS., but the “he liked her no more” could also mean she didnt like her as a person anymore after she saved him. its not 100% clear how the relationship started out, we just know how it ends rly, but given the historic context too, it might very well be that it wouldntve been considered as cheating, even if it was consensual, would hera consider it cheating bc she does so with Zeus? maybe, idk, i think the idea of Ody being (one of) the only greek hero(es) that doesnt cheat is one i like, he gets praised enough by homer for all his skills he might as well have the skill of being true to his wife, in EPIC we know that Ody refuses her from the beginning so whatever did or did not remain unnamed in Epic, would NOT be cheating,.........and anyone who mentions Odys proof for cheating being the telegony or any other later versions where suddenly children show up, and he offs penelope for cheating and telemachus marries circe, can kindly, do some more reading into the history of the text and how later authors added their own twists, we dont know if the odyssey from homer was the most well known version, i think, but its the one we consider canon now, and i rly refuse to believe that Ody coming home only to get a new wife]

“Release him” the side glace Zeus mustve gotten LMAO

...ok angry zeus choir again, rly?

“I’ve played your game and won”, she did, fair and square

“Release him” you better

“You dare to defy me?”, what happend to your voice zeus? also....are you pissed that she called you out on cheating? bro, ur just pissed that she choose everyone else over you, grow up zeus

“To make me feel shame?” shame about loosing the game or shame for the humiliation about cheating, mhh

“No one beats me, no one wins my game!”, sounds like my 3rd brother, but hes at least cute when hes throwing a fit about a game having rules

“Thunder, bring her through the wringer Show her I’m the judgement call The one who makes her kingdom fall! ”.your voice is getting worse btw, but...are we talking about pride still? Athenas pride? or is “her” just Athena now? mhhhh, Odysseus DID call her “selfish, prideful and vain”, so maybe it does refer to her pride, she DID Have a character arc tho >:) unlike zeus, hes just an ass, also he gets a choir background for this? intersting,

NOW HE THROWS LIGHTING AT HER??? thats intense, i was gasping when i saw, night sound design

“Is she dead?”, he does sound concerned, is it bc big brother energy or bc athena was zeus favorite child? or do they know how Zeus fucked up just now? hah..ha

the flashes you can hear in the music....aaaah

NOW THIS INSTRUMETAL PART

IS SO BEAUTIFUL ITS SO GOOD THE WAY “WARRIOR OF THE MIND” AND TELEMACHUS LULLABY AND LEGENDARY BLEND TOGETHER AND BECOME “ATHENAS FINIAL STAND” (as its supposedly called) ITS SO GOOD i ah i like this part the most of the song, together with apollos voice aseghsegij Aphrodite is fine too :) and "rly athena; these old tricks"

AlSO her having a flashback to Ody giving her Telemachus to hold after his birth, PLS??? Thats so vulnerableeeeee aaaaaaaaah yeah, yea that was good

“Let him go, please, Let him go”, she reaches out to Zeus, as her light dims and she begs him to let Ody go, nothing left of the selfish and prideful goddess, she was selfless- sacrifcing herself and ler go of her pride to beg to Zeus to let him go, who stops as he grabs to throw another lighting, in shocked realization of what he has done.

The song fades out. And we are left to wonder if Athena is ded or not

now initially i rly thought Jorge killed a goddess

by now im more hopeful that she isnt dead (im hoping for that, mostly for the fun of sticking to the source material of Athenas help in the last chapter(s) of the story)

but

im still doubting a bit. the chance is there that she is, infact, dead, but i dont know how that would impact the narrative-,...i suppose we’ll see, either in the vengence saga, or at the lastest in the ithica saga x)

Rachel Elizabeth Dare Headcanons

- these are definitely fictive influenced sorry

- gender-fluid for sure but sexuality wise she’s unlabeled but on the aroace spectrum so the whole percy thing was entirely platonic but flirting and making girls and boys flustered is something she thought was funny as a teen

- loves all forms of media she can find the beauty in anything she looks at

- her blue plastic hairbrush was a gift from her dad it was a big pack because she likes certain everyday items to be the same incase they break she can replace them she’s got 5 more at home.

- is really good friends with annabeth!! none of that fighting really happened and they never hated each other.

- she’s got a huge soft spot for piper who helped her decorate her cave in little ways

- honestly her closest friends are leo, piper, butch, lou ellen and clarisse which nobody was really expecting but clarisse and rachel just have such a special bond

- loves when the hunters swing by she loves to have dinner with them and talk to artemis who always wanted her to join but respects her decisions and rachel’s an honorary huntress in artemis’ eyes

- also also speaking of cave decorations she has a few favorites: the aphrodite cabin made her one way mirror curtains so that she gets in a lot of natural light. her rugs are kaleidoscopic made by the iris cabin, the demeter cabin always gives her the best strawberry saplings so she can always have fresh fruit around. the hypnos cabin with the help of the hephaestus cabin built her a canopy over bed to help her her sleep

- since her bed makes her pass out she’s got every kind of seat beanbags chairs futons etc to lay on! everyone’s got a comfy seat when they come visit her

- the cabins love her esp now that the oracle is a real walking person and they’re always willing to hang out or spend time with her, she found her family

- all of her clothes are either handmade, or patched up (usually decorative embroidery) and all of her clothing items are covered in doodles and paints

- MAJOR mythos obsessions as a kid, big into norse and egyptian

- dnd buff, she loves to DM and she plays wizards, sorcerers or artificers because she thinks they’re cute

- she gets nightmares and developed some sleepwalking habits after becoming the oracle, sometimes she’ll be found in the forest near the river and all the naiads and nymphs around her in a big pile

- rachel changed her name to a more english sounding one because people would always pronounce raquel weirdly. her name was originally elisa raquel but rachel elizabeth sounded more professional. her closest friends call her RED nonetheless because it’s her favorite name

- rachel had a horrible nightmare that happened when percy annabeth and nico fell to tartarus. she was found huddled in the corner of her cave, everyrhing turned upside down and a painting on the floor that essentially looked like scribbles until you realized what you were looking at. she had a breakdown afterwards, chiron trying his best to comfort her.

- to help some campers with their discomfort in their scars and appearance she learned how to tattoo over them and will have flash sales where you just bring her food and she’ll tattoo you. the first person to get a tattoo was clarisse who brought her a homemade family dish

the gods in Epic

I'm only going to be able to fully sort some of them because a lot of them appear only briefly

Zeus: Lion/Lion. Can you be a gloryhound if you're already "king?" Zeus doesn't play tricks but he likes games. He likes laying out all your choices and making you pick. These are all in the spur of the moment, though. When he gets pissed off, he just immediately smites you. And nothing pisses him off more than when Athena embarrasses him by beating him. He also likes being the "judgement call."

Athena: Bird/Bird. She sets up tests for people (the magical boar). She sees Odysseus, at first, as a project she poured time and effort into. She uses reasoned arguments to persuade the other gods. And she scolds Odysseus to turn off his heart and said his sentimentality is "not a teaching of mine."

Hermes: No idea, man. He's weird. He gives me Lion Snake vibes??? I'm really bad at sorting them because they confuse me. Hermes in the original was a Double Snake IIRC but this Hermes is just floating around trolling people with no backstory so I could see either.

Poseidon: Snake/Lion. His first words are screaming Odysseus's name: ODYSSEUS OF ITHACA!!! He then basically yells at him for an entire song and sinks all his ships but one. Snake:

In all my years of living/It isn't very often that I get pissed off/I try to chill with the waves/But damn, you crossed the line/I've been so gracious/And yet, you hurt this son of mine/That's right, the cyclops you made blind, is mine

If that's not a Snake primary, I don't know what is. That's basically exactly how I described myself a few posts ago. Just happily chilling UNTIL. Weirdly enough, he claims he wouldn't be mad if Odysseus had just killed Polyphemus instead of blinding him.

Circe: Snake/Snake. Her nymphs are like her daughters. She's only convinced by Odysseus when he sings about his love for his wife. She lures the men inside to trick them into eating the food and when Odysseus can't be beaten with magic, she immediately pivots to trying to seduce him. I could also be argued into Badger Snake.

Calypso: Snake/Badger. Snake for sure. From the jump she's singing about how Odysseus is the love of her life and that continues to be all she really sings about. Secondary was a bit harder but she doesn't lie or trick him like the Sirens and she doesn't use tools or arguments. She's just promising to take care of him and provide all he needs and trying to wear him down. She has that kind of Badgery softness even though she's a baddie.

Ares: Lion secondary. He is disgusted by Odysseus using cunning instead of just hacking and slashing everyone. I'm not sure of his primary. Ares focuses on Odysseus letting "his friends get devoured." But I think that could be Lion or Badger. Violence could also be his Lion cause, because he agrees once Athena says that Odysseus will make everybody bleed if he's released. I really want to say Double Lion.

Hephaestus: Badger/Badger I think, because he's most upset that Odysseus sacrificed his "cohort" and says, "Trust is not given, it's forged." He barely has any lines so this is tentative. We have a lot of doubles here.

Aphrodite: maybe Snake primary? Or else love is her "cause." She's most disgusted that Odysseus let his mother die waiting for him. No idea of her secondary.

I have no clue about Hera or Apollo.

[aphroditelovesu]

Hi can I please request a yandere Eros with the female reader who has a crush on Apollo (imagine pls!)

❝━♡ Summary: Eros is desperately in love with you, the goddess of rationality, but unfortunately for him you are in love with another god and Eros will not accept that. Especially this god being his biggest rival.

❝━♡ TW: yandere themes, obsessive and possessive behavior, dub-con, implicit non-con, forced kiss, implied kidnapping, mention of physical violence, manipulation, breeding kink (?) and forced love.

❝━♡ Word Count: +1,5k

❝━♡ Written by: ~ Lady L 🌸

The goddess of rationality sighed. It wasn't a sigh of anger or disappointment, but of sadness and weariness. She was so tired of it, she was tired of it all. And more importantly, she was tired of him. Nothing she did was enough to appease the god who was so obsessed with her.

"Maybe the problem is with me after all." She thought, a sad look on her beautiful face. ''Maybe I wasn't clear enough.''

''(Y/N)!'' The goddess turned when she heard her name being called and she faced the god who had been chasing her for days.

''Eros…'' (Y/N) muttered, displeased. ''What do you do in my temple? You know you shouldn't enter a temple without asking permission from the goddess or the god it is dedicated to.''

''I know that, (Y/N). But I was so looking forward to seeing you! I couldn't just wait for more.'' The god of love and erotica gave you a seductive smile that could bring anyone to their knees but not you. Eros never had that effect on you, for you were in love with another god. A god that the god of love deeply hated, his greatest rival for millennia and now his rival for your love.

''But even so, you have to respect the traditions.'' (Y/N) muttered weakly, she knew it was no use talking, it never did. ''What you want? I am a little busy.''

Eros smirked, quickly approaching you who stiffened when he realized how close the god had gotten to you. ''Turn around…'' He whispered, ''I have a gift for the fairest of goddesses.''

''Eros… You mustn't say that. Aphrodite, your mother, won't like it.'' (Y/N) was a primordial goddess, she was born shortly after Aphrodite's birth, so she was quite revered and respected among the gods. Aphrodite and she got along well, but (Y/N) knew that the goddess of love and beauty would not tolerate any insult to her, not even a single comparison. ''I don't want to make Aphrodite angry and you shouldn't want the same.''

''She won't do anything to me or you.'' Eros chuckled, placing his hands gently on the goddess's bare shoulders. ''My mom knows how in love with you I am and she, well, she just wants to see me happy. She would never dare hurt someone I love so much.''

(Y/N) didn't say anything, but just turned around as Eros had asked. She wasn't stupid, she knew the quickest way out of this uncomfortable situation was to just do the god's will that he would go away. Or at least that's what she hoped.

''What do you want to give me?'' She asked, taking a deep breath. (Y/N) felt anxious, she didn't feel comfortable in that kind of situation and knew she never would. She had been trapped at various times like this, with Eros presenting her with expensive and absurd gifts, which she tried to deny but Eros wouldn't accept.

Eros didn't answer, but (Y/N) shivered as he felt the god's large and soft hands on her neck, gently pulling back her hair. Eros delicately put on a necklace he had convinced Hephaestus to make for him. It was the most beautiful and pompous necklace you could see, full of diamonds and an emerald in the middle. It was heavy and made exclusively for one goddess to use. For his goddess to use.

''For you.'' He pulled away from her a little, just enough for (Y/N) to turn around to face him. ''I made Hephaestus do it just for you. No mortal or goddess has that same necklace, because you alone are worthy of it. Do you liked it?''

''Eros, it's beautiful but I can't accept it.''

''What?''

''I cannot accept it. It's too much.''

''You can and you will.'' Eros growled, getting irritated. This wasn't the first time he'd had to deal with your arrogance and he had had enough of it. He loved you, simple as that, why can't you accept his love? How can you not see that you were made for each other?

(Y/N) sighed angrily this time. She couldn't take this whole fucked up situation anymore, everything was so wrong and nothing seemed to work with this god of love. He knew she loved another god. but she never told him who he was. She feared Eros' reaction but knew the only way he could leave her alone was to tell her the truth and that's what she would do. ''Eros... I love another person.''

The god of love stood still for a while, just staring into the goddess's face in disbelief. ''Who?'' He finally managed to ask furiously, the words barely leaving his lips.

''You know who. I know you've known who is it for a long time.''

''Who?!'' He asked again, even more angry.

''Apollo.'' (Y/N) replied. The goddess knew she had entered a path that had no turning back, but she decided it didn't matter. She just wanted to get rid of Eros.

''Apollo…'' To the surprise of (Y/N) Eros started laughing crazily. He just couldn't believe, Apollo his biggest rival. This was all a joke, it had to be a joke.

''Why are you laughing?''

''I didn't know you preferred guys like him, my love.'' Eros finally stopped laughing, smiling slightly. That smile alarmed (Y/N), she definitely didn't expect this reaction. ''I didn't know you preferred men who would just fuck you for one night and then never send news for you again.''

''Apollo is not like that!'' (Y/N) tried to defend the god in vain.

''Oh, he is and you know it. His romantic past speaks for itself.'' Eros spoke, holding the goddess's face with both hands, affectionately. ''You deserve so much more than being fucked and dumped after sex. You deserve a god who loves you unconditionally, a god who would always be loyal and faithful to you. You deserve me.'' And finally, Eros sealed their lips with a hard kiss. (Y/N) widened her eyes and tried to pull away from the god, but he was stronger and hugged her tightly, keeping her attached to her body. Eros continued to try to force his tongue into (Y/N)'s mouth but she resisted and didn't give him permission, that is, until he grabbed her waist so hard that it made her open her mouth to scream and he took the opportunity to stick his own tongue in your obsession. ''Hmm…'' Eros muttered, after they parted. ''I didn't know you kissed so good! I'm looking forward to finding out what else that mouth of yours can do.''

''Stay away from me!'' (Y/N) shouted and, after much effort, managed to free herself from the god's grip. She tried to run away, but Eros was faster and threw her to the ground, getting on top of the desperate goddess.

''Now, don't be rude, baby.'' Eros smirked. ''We still haven't finished what we started.'' Eros' hands started to roam around (Y/N's) hips, squeezing him tightly.

(Y/N) whimpered. This was not supposed to be happening. She kept trying to fight Eros, but it was in vain. He was a thousand times stronger than she was and if he wanted to force her there he would. Nothing and no one would stop him.

''Stop trying to run away from me!'' Eros roared, furious. He summoned his bow and some arrows, which he aimed straight at (Y/N's) heart. ''You want me to force you to love me?! Huh? Is this is what you want?! Because I'm trying to be patient with you and you know that very well, but my patience has limits!''

''Let me go…'' The goddess muttered, trying to free her wrists from the brute force of the god of love.

Eros sighed, trying to calm down, as he internally debated whether he should become (Y/N) his puppet or not. He didn't want to do this, he didn't want something to control, a doll for him to play with however he wanted. He just wants to be loved by (Y/N) back. Why was this so difficult to do? It was all that motherfucker Apollo's fault.

(Y/N) took advantage of Eros being distracted by his thoughts and kicked him in the groin, which immediately destabilized the god who fell beside him groaning in pain. She got up and started to run out of time, but to her innocence, it wasn't fast enough as Eros finally shot one of his arrows at the goddess, leaving her stunned for a moment and, after he called out to her, she turned around. automatically turned to Eros and felt his heart fill with love. An empty and forced love.

''That's right, that's mine (Y/N).'' Eros smiled passionately and pulled her into another kiss more ardently, this time the goddess responded, but without any emotion or passion. Just like a puppet made to obey and love Eros. This wasn't what the god of love and eroticism wanted but if that was the only way to have her, then so be it. She would be his perfect goddess.

[nighttimeebony]

I just got into the Percy Jackson series, so here is a collection of my actual thought process while reading the first book that I bothered to write down. So, spoilers for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief under the cut. I guess.

EDIT: part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5

Aww, Percy. Neurodivergent rep, I am fed

Is Mr. Brunner Dionysus? I think Dionysus is a major character in this series. But then what’s the wheelchair for? And Dionysus in mythology doesn’t have a beard like that. Oh! What if he’s actually Hephaestus? That would explain the wheelchair and the bearded old man look.

HOLY FUCK IT’S THE MINOTAUR

HOLY SHIT SALLY’S DEAD WHY

Is that tree on the property line the Olive Tree from the founding of Athens myth? Because Percy is the son of Poseidon?

Percy’s dream has got to be some kind of foreshadowing about Poseidon and Zeus fighting each other. Zeus would be the bird because he’s a sky god, and Poseidon would be the horse because in a really really old myth, Poseidon turned himself into a horse to chase down Demeter. Also, the voice from underground egging them on is definitely Hades, because god of the underworld and all that

Also goddammit, Hades is the villain?? Why????? Goddammit, not again…

Mrs. Dodds was definitely a fury, but she’s called a Kindly One. Wonder what that’s about

There’s some Thing about characters dissolving when they die. Wonder what that’s about

Oh shit. I was wrong. Brunner is Chiron. Interesting. Now the whole teacher thing makes sense

Wow, Dionysus is an asshole in this one. He’s more like his older Orphic version than the newer, modern Dionysus I’m familiar with

Everyone is so in love with Luke it's embarrassing

I just adore how casually neurodivergent Percy is. All the jokey references to Dyslexia and ADHD, I just—I love it so much. And I love that it actually is dyslexia and ADHD. And that apparently all the half-bloods are dyslexic and ADHD too. We love to see it.

Oh my God, I love all of these children so much.

HOLY SHIT AUNTY EM IS A GORGON

I WAS RIGHT

I find it amusing that Hermes named the activation password for his magic shoes after his mother

I wonder what Persephone's like

Grover's gonna be the friend to betray Percy, isn't he? He better fucking not be. I love him. If Grover's the Traitor MHA-style, I'm gonna riot

One difference between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson (the characters) is that Harry marvels at every new instance of magic. But after Percy learns about the magic system, he just stops giving a shit. Once he learns that magic is real, he is surprised by absolutely nothing and does not question the irrelevant stuff, like Annabeth's invisibility hat, or how the fuck a ballpoint pen can turn into a sword.

Percy is such a sassy, sarcastic little shit and I love him so fucking much.

ECHIDNA

"Isn't that a kind of anteater?" I love this child

*Percy wondering what all the mirrors are for in the Tunnel of Love*

Me: "It's gotta be a kink thing."

*While Ares and Aphrodite were smooching with each other they could look at their favorite person: themselves*

Me: "Called it."

Wait……. Is the traitor Luke????? He's like the only other "friend" Percy has

Thank God Hades isn't the bad guy

Aw, I wanted to see Persephone. Don't worry, Percy, I'm disappointed too

You know what, from now on, anytime a protagonist has to live with an abusive parent figure, the only resolution I will accept is turning that bitch to stone and selling him on the black market.

Thank God Percy can have a nice, stable home life with his mom in between rounds of risking his life.

I'm so on-board with Percabeth, and this friend group as a whole

I FUCKING CALLED IT! LUKE WAS THE TRAITOR!

Thank God the characters in this book have a fucking brain. Percy's an impulsive little chaos gremlin, but he's not an idiot.

I'm kind of curious to see what the shipping side of the Percy Jackson fandom looks like, cuz Percabeth is great, and I'm pretty sure that's the main canon pairing, so I'm curious….

Honestly, I can't wait for Percy and Annabeth to start dating. I'm so excited to see what their relationship will be like in a romantic context

I love this book and I want more immediately.

vale is so hard i do think hermes is a good pick. tell me that he wouldnt do the sacred cow prank…. could also smack him with dionysus! god of theater and king of having a weird obsessive cult… ultimately i have him as APHRODITE: shes like hot and smart and vengeful and a tad self-absorbed. odysseus isnt a god but as @babynflames has discussed that is literally just vale. to me.

MARC is ARES. his name literally derives from MARS meaning WARLIKE. cmon. we dont call him a war criminal for nothin. thought about athena for him bc hes good at a lot of strategy and i LOVE the iliad implications with vale as aphrodite but my guy does not. think. sometimes. no thoughts just crimes even when it bites him in the ass… also they could lowkey do the aphrodite/mars toxic hot girl affair

dovi: hestia. pretty humble. keeper of the peace. a friendly and calming influence in the paddock :)

aleix: poseidon…THE PASSION!!!!!!!! leedle bit prone to mood swings… occasionally rageful… but i also see him as hera! he’s so family oriented

i like pecco with demeter.. could see him in a beautiful field somewhere… vibing with his gnocchi

apollo: enea. someone help me here this is also vibes based… my beautiful hot girl…. sun, light, poetry, music…

luca: oh hes athena!!! slightly cold, very data oriented. confident and practical. would look good in armor carrying some sort of lance or spear

celestino: artemis… weird girl representation, maybe the most independent of them all !

fabio: eros bc he is in love with literally everyone…

jorge lorenzo… hades. introverted and misunderstood… often seen as aloof, stern, and cold… hypothetical wife (dani) guy. actually!!! dani as persephone is good tbh. hes thoughtful and considerate.. a lil reserved… we can ignore the actual myth here and go for the kind of dumber modernized girlboss version bc we are having fun! enemies to lovers slay

bezz: hephaestus… working at his fathers mechanics shop… VERY loyal… fiery guy. needs to be useful so so bad please please please

Any thoughts on Jared leaving CW? Is this good move for him? Also I was going through your other posts and couldn't find one about his divine match. Did you make a post abt it or have I missed it?

Hello Anon, thank you for this interesting ask. So no you didn't miss a post about Jared's divine match, as I never did post about it. Before I talk about the divine match business, I do want to talk about the CW tidbit because this is going to come as a shocker to some people. I've written before about who Jared's higher self is. It is true that Poseidon is proud of him for trying to do the right thing in listening to him (ex. Always Keep Fighting campaign, generally trying to be a good man)... but he's also expressed on plenty of occasions his frustrations with Jared for not listening to him. Poseidon has told me things like "I wish Supernatural ended after season 5 period" and here's the real kicker, "I wish Jared left Supernatural after season 3". Yes, you read that correctly. The whole I met my wife thanks to Kripke stuff in recent interviews regarding him joining The Boys and other things of the sort GREATLY frustrate Poseidon. Specifically, when he said the below per this Deadline article:

“I mean, he created Supernatural. He created Sam Winchester. He created Ruby [Genevieve Padalecki], who I ended up marrying and starting a family with,” he continued. “I adore him. I adore his humor. I adore him as a person, his storytelling. So I can’t wait. I don’t think [Season 5] films until next year, but I will be ready when he makes the phone call. I’ll just say ‘Okay, when am I flying out?'”

Now, I also wrote before about how Gen is an Aphrodite incarnation. Check this out about Poseidon and Aphrodite in Greek mythology:

Hephaestus then demanded the return of the marriage gifts he had given to Zeus. But the ruler of the gods refused, calling the adultery a marital dispute and ridiculing Hephaestus as a fool for making it a public spectacle. (Hermes and Apollo snickered that they would gladly make such a public spectacle if it meant lying with Aphrodite.) With his first glance at the naked goddess, Poseidon fell in love. So the sea god suggested that Ares should pay for the marriage gifts. Poseidon gladly offered to serve as guarantor: If Ares defaulted on the payment, Poseidon would pay the price and take Aphrodite as his wife. Ares did ultimately default on the debt, but Hephaestus—still smitten with his wife—did not really want a divorce at all, so he never brought it up again.

I bring this up because also check out the story about when they met on the set of Supernatural:

Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Cortese have been married since February 2010 and recently expanded their family of four to include daughter Odette, who was born on St. Patrick's Day. As any Supernatural fan knows, the couple - who are also parents to sons Shepherd and Thomas - first met on the set of the hit show. Genevieve joined the cast as a demon named Ruby in 2009, and Jared was instantly attracted to her. "I was a single dude, and she was a pretty girl in her underwear on her first day on set," he explained during a Supernatural panel back in 2012. "I was very excited to meet her. Meanwhile, I think she was like, 'Who is this long-haired A-hole who thinks he can come talk to me while I'm reading a book?' . . . I interrupted her while she was reading a book and I think she got kind of fussy about it.

Where am I going with this? So, we all know they met on the set of Supernatural while filming the 4th season. Poseidon has said he wishes Jared pursued leaving Supernatural while the 3rd season was still filming and followed through with it. Yes you guys, Poseidon and even other deities have said that Supernatural shouldn't have been around for 15 seasons and that Sam Winchester WAS supposed to leave after season 3. Remember that breakdown Jared had in 2007 while he was on the set and rumors of Kripke "ripping him a new one" were floating around? One set of original divine blueprints had it so Supernatural ended after season 5.

So, is Jared leaving the CW good for him? Yes because he should've done it a long time ago. HOWEVER, I am going to also say that sometimes when things don't go as they should, things manifest in our lives hints of things that were supposed to happen. For example, when Season 6 Episode 18 "Frontierland" that aired April 22, 2011 they had Jared as Sam portraying Walker, Texas Ranger; Jared ended up playing Cordell Walker, Texas ranger on his show "Walker, Texas Ranger" which is basically a modernized version of the original show Walker that starred Chuck Norris. This episode is considered a tamper in Jared's divine blueprints that was allowed "as a hint of the original divine plans that made it mandatory Jared plays Cordell Walker on his own show 'Walker Texas Ranger'".

But wait, the whole "I met my wife on the set of Supernatural and fell in love with her at first sight".....

This is Poseidon ultimately saying he wishes Gen and Jared never met. I've criticized Jared to some people in PMs for constantly bringing this fact up in just about every single interview done where Gen is brought up. NO SHIT JARED, WE ALL KNOW YOU AND GEN MET ON THE SET OF SUPERNATURAL! or in my secondary language called sarcasm, NOOO WE HAD NO IDEA YOU AND GEN MET ON THE SET OF SUPERNATURAL AND YOU MARRIED RUBY! Good grief, come up with something new to talk about in these interviews is the general sentiment a lot of critics and antis have regarding the Pada marriage and discussions of it in interviews. I was told in all of Jared's past lives he committed suicide and was married to Gen in every single one of them. Curiously, he was contemplating suicide in 2015 and reportedly went to a rehab facility for a few weeks after the fact (and did also not even a year before he met Gen). I've criticized Gen for being tone deaf to all his problems, acting as if nothing's going on in her posts surrounding events like his car accident in 2022, arrest in 2019, etc.

What does this boil down to in the end? Gen is NOT Jared's divine match and vice versa. I've written in multiple posts about Gen doing black magic from basically the getgo (please go to Index 3 on my pinned post for direction to these posts and others). I've also spoken of how it seems Gen's black magic is fading. One question I have is "isn't it awful curious how the 2 projects Gen and Jared have worked on together ultimately ended up with Gen's character dying?" Ruby as Gen was stabbed by Dean (while Jared as Sam was holding Ruby) and Emily on Walker was killed while she was on the phone with Jared as Cordell.

It's also curious how in the Supernatural Season 3 and the 5th episode "Bedtime Stories", Sandra McCoy (Jared's now ex fiancée and at the time girlfriend when this episode filmed and eventually aired) played the Crossroads Demon she said about Ruby:

Crossroad Demon (Sandra "Sandy" McCoy): What can I do for you, Sam? Sam (Jared Padalecki): You can beg for your life. Crossroad Demon (Sandy): We were having such a nice conversation. Then you had to go and ruin the mood. Sam (Jared): If I were you, I'd drop the wisecracks and start acting scared. Crossroad Demon (Sandy): It's not my style. That's not the original Colt. Where did you get that? Ruby. Had to be. She is such a pain in my ass. She'll get what's coming to her. You can count on it.

Uh oh....

Also, if we want some real world references to what may be coming down the road for conducting black magic, I created this post here. The real ones will know what is really being said, as I finally got some answers regarding what I've been picking up with all of these things meshing together in my wittle brain. Weird, in the episode "Bedtime Stories" I mentioned just a moment ago is when Sam talks about the fairytale of Cinderella and specifically mentions the mice, the pumpkin, and carriage. 2 episodes before that "Bad Day at Black Rock", Sam did lose his shoe. It's also Season 9 Episode 5 "Dog Dean Afternoon" is when Dean talks to two mice while he's able to hear animals speak. Funnily enough, I did write in my Gen incarnation post about how the number 5 is a said sacred number of Aphrodite's.

Here, I wrote about the Season 4 Episode 22 "Lucifer Rising" with respect to Dumbo and the mouse Timothy since this episode is where Gen as Ruby refers to Jared as Sam Dumbo. Ruby says to Sam "You didn't need the feather to fly, you had it in you the whole time, Dumbo". I wrote here about my personal connection to the mouse as one of my secondary spirit animals here and my past encounters with the death of 2 mice. I also spoke a little about the connections between the number 5 and mice and the Bible here as well. So whenever I see mice references or encounter a mouse one way or another, I know to pay close attention.

I made one of my tarot reading posts private regarding the Pada marriage but somehow received a note on it the other day about a tarot reading I did about Gen and Jared. In this post I said:

This tidbit of information I also received is precisely why I use a pendulum and abc chart with my Tarot cards. I received a strange but creepy reading about a few days before you sent in this ask, where I was told one of the top hellhounds has been watching over the Padaleckis and "telling" people [telepathically] who are "watching them outside the house at night, especially when Jared is gone" to not go attack them. Why a hellhound feels the need to watch over their family, let alone one of the top ones is highly bothersome to me. It seems to me that with the death threats Jared has received over the last few years this hellhound does not believe Koda is sufficient enough to protect Jared and his family. I was told also that there are a few obsessed men who she and Jared may have passed a few times but never really interacted with much.

Since then, I've finally gotten a better understanding of why this particular hellhound has been essentially "watching" the Pads and luring people away for so long. It isn't to "protect" Gen and keep her alive for Gen's sake. It is because the timing for her "being collected" has not come yet. It does certainly explain why this hellhound has been present particularly when Jared is NOT home. With all this business about mice, the number 5, Aphrodite, and Gen, is it worth mentioning in the book "Of Mice and Men", Lenny kills a puppy in chapter 5 which is also the same chapter in which Lenny kills Curley's wife by accident while playing with her hair? In the 1992 movie, she's portrayed by Sherilyn Fenn who is brunette, is 5'4" and was born in Detroit, Michigan? I also read that if Curley's wife were to be represented by an animal, it would be the peacock. As it is said in that site I linked to:

In the story Of Mice and Men, if Curley's wife were to be represented as an animal, a common interpretation might be that she would be a peacock. The peacock is often associated with beauty, vanity, and the desire to be noticed, which aligns with Curley's wife's character traits and her actions within the novel. She is often described as seeking attention and trying to be seen, much like a peacock displays its feathers. Moreover, peacocks can also signify entrapment and longing to be free, which reflects Curley's wife's situation, as she is trapped in a loveless marriage and yearns for a different life. The concept of the Animal Bride or Animal Groom in literature speaks volumes about cultural expectations and gender roles. It questions the dynamics of power and control within relationships and suggests that an individual's autonomy should not be restricted by societal expectations. The animal symbolism can highlight a character's desire for agency and the consequences of subverting traditional norms.

In this post where I reblogged a tattoo idea of the Hindu deity Ganesh on a lotus flower with peacock feathers for the flower petals I personally drew, I mentioned seeing a woman wearing a lot of peacock accessories who was right behind me the day I went to take a photo op with Rich/Loki where I was dressed as Hela from Thor Ragnarok. It should be noted that a former coworker of mine died on this very same day from a diabetic coma, which Loki told me was going to happen over 9 months before it did. Ironically, this same coworker hit on me while I was wearing that very same costume on my birthday (10/23), almost exactly 10 months before this photo op took place.

Hmm, my drawing out this tattoo idea back on March 26 this year one of my guides Quetzalcoatl (who is "besties with Loki") insisted I draw out manifested in a strange way. When I went to go get a photo op at the Supernatural Charlotte convention this weekend (Aug 18-20, 2023), one of the women in line who was right behind me wore pants with peacock feathers, had peacock feather like earrings on, a hat on, and even had peacock feathers drawn on her coat an awful lot like the flower petals in this drawing of mine, AND had Gabriel/Loki from the show Supernatural on the back of her coat. Not gonna lie, I freaked out a bit internally here, but everything does happen for a reason...

I mentioned here that in Norse mythology, Loki kills an otter and eventually skins it while it was eating a salmon at a river. Exactly a month ago today, I wrote this post mentioning a license plate I saw with a black bear on it and the same car having an otter on it, with the otter being Gen's secondary spirit animal. On the show Loki on Season 1 Episode 5 there are peacock-like creatures in the Void which is "at the end of time". As was said by the head of production design when asked about these birds:

The big giant heads, they were... I don't have a clear story for that one. [Laughs.] That was really just a visual thing, because we were trying to find moments to infuse The Void with surrealism. So that was the point of the giant heads, and also of the little Void creatures that look like the little peacocks. Originally, at some point, I was proposing a far more Salvador Dali-esque, Dada-esque version of The Void, and it evolved over time. But those bird creatures and heads made it through from the Dada-esque version to the English moors version of The Void.

I did throughout this long read of a post a little bit of some hints about Jared's divine match but more info will be shared in another post. This post was more or less dedicated also to why Gen is NOT his divine match. The real ones will see what the hints in this post and others I've made are all about...

[miraculous-pyromaniac]

BEHOLD MY PJO/HOO ORIGINAL CHARACTER

This wonderful artwork was done by @justanotherpersonsuniverse they're a wonderful artist and writer whose works I enjoy a ton. If you're into miraculous ladybug, Splatoon, or good art and vibes in general I would guide you towards their blogs.

This is Bellerophon Heimbald, sometimes called Camp Half-Blood's Benchwarmer Hero, but most of their friends just call them Bell

A strong wielder of They/Them pronouns, Bell is a child of Euphrosyne, goddess of mirth, merriment, and joy.

Alright, this post is a little long, so ima make a break here. Bellow this is more stuff about the OC and some semi-relevant rants on greek myth lore

They changed their name to Bellerophon because they were Bell before but wanted a less gender specific full name. Also, Bellerophon is Bell's favorite Greek hero because they really love horses and pegasi, and dream of one day riding on Pegasus, the majestic flying god-horse.

Bell gets super fucking jealous of Reyna.

Bell made the unique decision to declare themselves as a Champion of Hestia, a title and role that notably doesn't exist. Despite this, Bell stubbornly insists on their role as a protector of homes and families. They will insist on being sent on, or sometimes sneak out to go on, quests relating to saving the families of her friends and fellow campers. Such endeavors include, but are not limited to, 'my godly step mom kidnapped my Mom for having too many kids with her husband', 'My Dad keeps sending me bloodstained notes and his fiancé says he hasn't left the house since I left for camp', or 'the Titan Army kidnapped my mortal siblings because I'd been feeding them false info while pretending to spy for them'. Bell will also eventually be accepted as Hestia's Champion and will be sent on quests to solve squabbles between the gods that have really been killing the vibe on Olympus. Things such as 'My husband thinks I'll fall for this shit again so I made a doll to replace him', 'That bitch banged my daughter and I might start a war over it', or 'oh fuck I lost the moon'.

The PJO storyline spans many years and this is only a screenshot of time for Bell's character. They're about 16 in this art, at around the time of The Battle of the Labyrinth book.

Bell's godly parent is not a well known goddess, Euphrosyne is one of the Charities, a trio of goddess siblings who serve as Aphrodite's attendants. The best way I can relate who she is is that she's the daughter of the Titaness of water-meadows, Eurynome, who raised Hephaestus after he was baby-tossed off Olympus by Hera. Her father is of course Zeus, though it might not have been adultery. Hesiod claimed that Eurynome was Zeus's third wife after Metis, who he absorbed, and Themis, who Zeus divorced after birthing at least 2 (possibly 3) sets of triplet goddesses. One set of those triplets was the wrinkly goddesses now known as the fates, who scared their parents so much that Zeus got a divorce and Themis stopped having kids and went to law school or something or other.

In any case, my point is that Bell's demigod powers aren't flashy or destructive like the show's main cast. Bell can innately sense when those around them feel positive emotions, a kind of joy empathy radar. They can also induce and amplify positive feelings in others, though its not effective most of the time. Their only other powers include a slightly dulled sense of pain and a resistance to poisons.

A few years into their story, Bell will end up gaining the blessing of Hestia's hearth fire. This blessing grants Bell several powers that are all defensive due to the nature of Hestia and her flames. Bell's wounds will instantly cauterize in battle and heal faster after the battle is done. Poison has way less effect on Bell, combines with their poison resistance from their demigod powers this essentially makes them immune to all non-divine poisons. Their regular body temp is also increased to around 107°F, making them very popular with the Hypnos kids during winter months. This obviously grants an aspect of fire resistance to Bell, but not immune like Leo, at about the same level as Hephaestus kids.

That spear is their primary weapon, a cross shaped Japanese style spear that Bell found wrapped up in the camp armory. It also happens to have been cursed by the man who forged it and is a very dangerous object.

That leather bracelet is actually a size changing celestial bronze shield in it's smallest size, a small disk of metal attached to the leather arm strap. It was gifted to Bell by their mother Euphrosyne. It was forged by Hephaestus, who was convinced to make the shield by his wife, Aglaia, who is also one of the Charities. Aglaia didn't just do that as a favor for her sister though, but that's not super important.

Yes, Hephaestus got remarried canonically, in both mythology and described in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods.

Bell is the main character of a PJO fanfic story I've been creating with my best friend. Though, while Bell may be the main character of their story, they are ultimately a side character in the PJO/HOO stories. My goal for Bell's story is that that it's written into the sidelines of the story the book tells, this story is the one that happens when Percy is off on his quests, or during the non-summer months when most characters are with their families, or in the gaps of time between books. I'm having a ton of fun developing a story like this, filling in the background of an already great story.

I've been writing and developing Bell's story, as well as a couple other OCs of mine, for about the past 6 months or so and this is the first time its being seen publicly. I've been trying to write a whole book/questline of story before releasing as my current fanfics update one every blue moon and I feel bad about it.

This is only 1 of the 4 Camp Half-blood OCs i have for this story and, even further, only 1 of the 10 OCs I plan to put story focus on throughout my whole plotline. Hyperfixation went crazy.

Alright I think that's enough random powers, no-context plot points, and Greek myth lore rants for one post. Ima hit the post button now but again go check out @justanotherpersonsuniverse their stuff is amazing

Drabble 3.0

This is the third part to my dteam pjo au with George being Hephaestus's son, Sapnap being Ares's and Dream being Aphrodite’s :D

Ares looked around the clearing inside the camp half-blood and groaned when his brat didn’t just materialize right in that instant.

He had come to gift him a weapon many would beg to even see. And his brat wasn’t anywhere in sight.

Well, he did come unannounced, which means that he now has to look for him.

“He better be in the fighting arena or somewhere close, I can’t be seen wasting my time like this.” He was a god with a huge ego, standing proud with his head held high, he had an image to maintain.

As he made his way towards the arena he passed through a lake, in a canoe two teens were talking.

“There he is!” Sapnap, his son, was talking to a son of a Aphrodite. The two were alone together in a canoe.

“A date.” He thought ruefully. Truly his son had excellent taste.

He watched amused as Sapnap stammered out something that made the other boy laugh.

“Oh he has fallen hard.” He realized as his son blushed bright red.

Awkward and young love was something really entertaining and he had been getting bored.

So he got closer, without them noticing, and started eavesdropping.

“This is really nice.” Aphrodite’s son said as he lightly touched the water, the ripples of the movement distorted his reflection.

“Yeah, I knew you would like it.” He puffed up his chest and Ares had to stomp down the laughter that was about to spill from his lips.

“It’s a shame that George isn’t here.” At this Sapnap’s expression fell.

“Wait- What?” He couldn’t believe it. Was this even a date or did the boy intentionally try to rile his son up with a challenge for his favor?

He wouldn’t be opposed to seeing his son beat up a kid and get with his intended, more entertainment for him with the benefit of bragging towards the loser's parent.

“I-Dream…” His stammering stops as he collects himself. “I wanted to spend time with you. Just the two of us, like we used to, y'know?”

He looks a little pathetic and Ares mentally makes a note to give his son some love advice.

“Oh.” The boy, Dream if he remembers correctly, looks confused. “Of course, we are kind of like a trio now with George. The Dream team, remember?”

“Oh, so that's why his name sounds familiar.”

He was Sapnap's best friend, his brother in arms he had called him in letters sent to him.

“And it seems like he will remain a brother” Such a shame.

“I understand that we haven't spent that much time together but that's because George's project is really important and he needs all the help he can get.” Dream pats Sapnap's shoulder to give him some comfort.

“Alright, this is turning embarrassing.” He thinks about making a big entrance to interrupt them, but stops when he hears Aphrodite’s son talk again.

“And he has been really nervous about the meeting with his dad. He's trying to impress the literal god of craftsmen.” Sapnap nods a little forcefully to signal his agreement.

The world stops for Ares though.

“Hephaestus?!” His son is getting outplayed by a kid of that bastard?!

Anger simmers inside of him, and he's gone.

[iamrizaka]

So I thought about who could be the other winners and made a bunch of ocs

Explanation:

There were seven games with one winner each time.

In the pic it goes: the game – the winner's name – age and godly parent – who brought them

I don't have that much explanation about each of them, except the main three, but:

Darius Fyodorov

A son of Ares who has lots of insecurities resulting in superiority complex. He was picking lots of fights back in CHB, but was (and sorta still is) a nice person towards his friends. He is easy to lose temper once you call him weak or how his father doesn't care about him, giving attention to his siblings, especially Clarisse. It was his main reason to join Luke in his rebellion: to show everyone, including his father and older sister, that he's worth their praises and to be called the best.

Now he's Demeter's slave, but she doesn't spend much time in bed with him, instead preferring making him work in the fields.

Ines Hart

A daughter of Aphrodite, she is very similar to Silena. They were actually close, with Silena becoming a head counselor of cabin nine after she left. She was actually the one to convince Silena to become their spy at camp. Before Silena she was the one giving information to Luke and others, but after Thalia came back from being a tree, she had to leave camp as there were more and more people growing suspicious of her. Her reason to join rebellion was the same as Darius', but she was way less verbal about it and didn't seek praise from her mother. She was known at camp as big sister, so it was a harsh blow when she ran away.

I haven't thought out why Athena chose her, but Ines made several attempts at attacking the goddess, getting information for escape and just trying to escape, but none of it worked out. In the end, Ines gave up and decided to just enjoy the pretty clothing and tasty food she gets from the goddess. No, they don't have sex.

Myron Macías

A child of Hephaestus, he always felt inferior to his siblings, especially because of his chronic pain and how hard it makes walking for him. They would've continued to spend their time at the forges if Ines didn't offer him to continue working at the godly forges when they overthrow olympians. It still took him some time to agree, but eventually they ended up making most of the armor and weapons for the demigods in the army. And no, he doesn't have a crush on Ines, what are you saying?

Now he belongs to Aphrodite, who "takes pity on him" and spends a night with him once or twice a week. But it is followed by increased pain in the morning. And thoughts that he's sleeping with his stepmother. That's weird.

And he isn't allowed in the forges, which drives him crazy. He picks at his skin whenever he gets the need to feel the heat, the metal underneath his fingers and see the creation of a new tool.

Amelia Finch

A daughter of Demeter, she was saved from the streets by the Titan Army and ended up joining it. She had nowhere else to go after running away from an orphanage, and these people are so kind to her, although she's such a trouble. She is a curious girl, always close to one of the older demigods, asking questions about mythology and what they are doing. She was excited to meet her siblings and always made sure that they knew she's here to listen if they had a problem or just needed company.

After the fall of Kronos, she was made into an Avox, a voiceless slave, but due to so many demigods killing themselves before the last game, she and some other slaves were included in the games as participants. She still doesn't know what to think of her current situation. And being Apollo's bedwarmer doesn't help. At least her friends are here to support her and comfort her after her first night and many others.

That's all I have for now, feel free to comment!
