Willow characters as D&D classes and races not because I can't sleep, but because I don't want to write tomorrow's session
Unlike my Percy Jackson version of this post, Willow has pretty clear ties to D&D, especially the 2022 show, so I'm not really going to be changing characters' races for this list. For all intents and purposes, they could be played in the world they're in, rather than adapted into a high-fantasy setting like I did with PJO. That said, I will be taking a couple of liberties with it, and trying to make it at least a little interesting. Same rules as the last one: minimal reflavoring, and no hombrew or unearthed arcana.
Willow Ufgood: Halfling Transmutation Wizard. Yeah, I know that all of the magic-users in the Willow-verse are referred to as sorcerers, but I think there's some nuance between how they use magic, and Willow, despite his intuition, certainly does not find his magic born within him. He doesn't necessarily have a natural gift for it, but rather finds careful study and many of years practice aiding him in becoming the magician he is by the time of the series, not to mention receiving a spellbook at the end of the movie. I struggled for a little while to decide what his subclass is, as we only really see him doing generalist magic. That said, war magic or order of scribes are out, seeing as he isn't a battlemage at all, nor does his spellbook play as important of a role as a scribe's would. So, considering his feats of returning Raziel to her human form, and restoring the Galladoorn warriors, transmutation feels like the most apt option for him.
Madmartigan: Human Swashbuckler Rogue/Battle Master FIghter. I had initially thought Madmartigan would be a champion, but thinking back on his fight against the Nockmaar soldiers, I think it's fair to say that he exemplifies the Art of War qualities that are so prevalent in the subclass. Swashbuckler is much more clear-cut. He nails one-on-one combat, and certainly has the high charisma necessary for the class, not to mention how he aids Franjean in picking the lock on the cage.
Sorsha Tanthalos: Human Hexblade Warlock. We don't see a lot of Sorsha's capabilities, so I'm gonna play flavor far more than mechanics with her. We know that she is a skilled fighter, and we see some of that, but I like the idea that her patron is her mother, and her pact ends after Bavmorda's defeat. She's certainly charismatic enough to trick Madmartigan into letting down his defenses enough to allow her a chance to escape from him, and was seemingly quite the leader in the quest for Elora, so I don't feel that this is too much of a stretch.
Rool/Franjean: Fairy Fey Wanderer Rangers. These two are interesting. I had almost made them gnomes, but I think them being fairies themselves (alongside the other Brownies) makes a bit more sense. They're definitely rangers, what with their affinity with animals, tracking abilities, and association with other fey creatures.
Airk Thaughbaer: Human Crown Paladin. We don't see a lot of Airk, but given that Madmartigan named his son after him, I think it's reasonable to put him on this list. He's kind of the ideal Galladoorn knight, fighting for country and fellow man against the forces of darkness. While I definitely think he's a paladin, other sublcasses might work for him.
Bavmorda: Tiefling Undead Warlock. Bavmorda being a tiefling is really only because she has the name "The Demon Queen." (And yes, I know that tieflings are infernal and not abyssal, but there isn't an abyssal race in D&D, so this is what I've got.) Her class and subclass seem pretty clear-cut. We find out in the series that she had made a pact with the Withered Crone, so she's clearly a warlock, though whether she's undead or undying is up for debate. In all honestly, they really aren't any different, and undead is just better.
General Kael: Human Berzerker Barbarian. Kael's so cool, but we also don't see much in the way of his combat ability. He's certainly very skilled, and he can also take a beating (the man took a sword to the face, and then kept fighting after getting stabbed), not to mention his shouting about "Now you die!" That feels very much like a raging barbarian to me.
Kit Tanthalos: Human Champion Fighter. Champion was my first choice for Kit, but I thought that I should dig deeper for her and kept trying to find something else. I've seen people say that she's a swashbuckler, or a battle master. I've even seem some people say that by the time she has taken the Kymerian Cuirass, she's gained three levels in artificer and become an armorer. And I hate all of that, because it's all too damn much. I think Kit's most important arc as a character is learning that she isn't the invnincible fighter she thought she was, and that her main character syndrome doesn't actually make her the main character. As far as that goes, I came back to champion, because I think the simplest fighter subclass conveys that journey really well.
Airk Thanthalos: Valor Bard/Oathbreaker Paladin. Airk is really interesting to me from a character creation perspective. He's clearly high charisma and low wisdom, and he isn't too shabby with a sword. He could very easily just be a paladin, and the Crone's corruption caused him to be an oathbreaker, but he's just too charming for me to not make him a bard too.
Jade Claymore: Human Samurai Fighter/Devotion Paladin. I've seen a lot of people say that Jade is a battle master, and while I see it, I think Samurai is a significantly more interesting choice for her. She's definitely not an average knight, and we can clearly see her wisdom in her fighting and her decision-making. As for paladin, Graydon aptly points out that her devotion is her driving force on the quest. If it's that important, than I'd say it counts as an oath.
Scorpia: Human Scout Rogue. There isn't a lot to go on for this one, unfortunately. She's clearly well-versed enough in combat to beat Jade, though I'd argue that she's simply a higher level. Being a scout would be beneficial for the forest-swelling Bone Reavers, and we see her have some skill with a throwing knife, which feels much like a roguish quality to me. (Ignore that Airk Thaughbaer also kills someone by throwing a knife.)
Thraxus Boorman: Human Berzerker Barbarian/Swashbuckler Rogue. I figured that Boorman was a barbarian/rogue early on, and was pleased when I saw some other people saying the same thing. I don't think Berzerker really fits him, but the only other non-magical barbarian sublcass is battle rager, and that fits him even less. (Seriously, there needs to be more non-magical barbarian subclasses.) It is possible that he never made it to three levels of barbarian, and just has a one or two level dip. (If i were to optimize him, it'd be two levels. That way reckless attack can be used to proc sneak attack at any opportunity.) I also don't think his rage is purely angry, but instead reflavored into sorrow that is masked with humor. As Madmartigan's squire, it makes sense that they would have the same rogue sublcass, and we definitely see Boorman's charisma shine through the series. Plus, like Madmartigan, he can pick locks. Ish.
Graydon Hastur: Human Lore Bard. Yeah, he's said to be a sorcerer in the show, but the man casts magic with his flute and gives other characters inspiring pep talks. If that doesn't make him a bard, I don't know what does. College of lore because he's very booksmart, and collects dead languages and ancient stories like an old lady collects little spoons.
Elora Danan: Protector Aasimar Divine Soul Sorcerer. And finally, the chosen one herself. I really wanted to make her wild magic, but divine soul unfortunately just makes more sense. I feel that of the sorcerers in the franchise, she's the only one that's actually a sorcerer. We don't know anything about how Raziel's magic works, so there's really no figuring her out, and Cherlindrea is more of an archfey than anything else. Elora, on the other hand, has an inborn aptitude for magic. She still has to practice, and reads Willow's spellbook, but that's more about control than power for her. As the child of the prophecy, and the one destined to defeat evil and unite the lands, it makes sense to me that she would be an aasimar, a divine being imbued with the power of celestials. She also has the chef feat.
There's certain characters that I left out, either because we don't see enough of them for me to properly gauge what they might be, or I think they'd be better with monster stat blocks than character sheets. But maybe I'll revisit this later and figure out characters like Silas, Lilli, and Ballantine. In any case, let me know if you disagree, I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks.

•You might not want to read the extras fully as the short stories at the end of the books are sometimes those short stories
•Trials of Apollo, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians round two (Consisting currently of only Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Chalice of the Gods but likely also getting another two instalment in the future) all take place around the same time

hi! i’d love if you’d answer a, u, and o for the ask game
A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
I am currently in Rhaenicent brainrot lockdown. (someone posted a full edit of them to the full 3:39 minutes of Good Luck Babe to YouTube and I'm being very mentally well about it). My beloved doomed yuri. I cannot wait until Alicent has to (redacted) (redacted) (redacted) Rhaenyra and then be miserable about it the rest of her life. I don't care if she's not on Dragonstone in the books life will find a way.
HOWEVER I have also been enjoying the armandaniel/Devil's Minion content we have gotten from the IWTV fandom post-finale. They are horrible. I do nothing but look at memes about them all day.
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
Instead of choosing I will just shuffle my downloaded songs and report back to you.
I got An Act of Kindness by Bastille and I'm gonna assign that to jeanee :)
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
This one is fun because I instantly forgot every media I've ever consumed.
So, uh.
Luke Castellan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians – Baby's first morally grey character. I just find him so fascinating as a foil to Percy and as a villain in and off himself. Unfortunately he is struck by the curse of being part of a middle grade franchise and so people often engage with his character in a very black-and-white way, and I hate how people use a single, ambiguous line in his literal last scene to moralize about him. ANYWAY. He did in fact do all that shit but he was Literally Right. So.
Adam Parrish, The Raven Cycle – he's truly the perfect character. He's a liar. He's traumatized. He refuses to accept help and be perceived and so tries to do everything himself, always resulting in making things 100% worse. Most of his problems could be solved by open communication and polyamory, and he refuses to do either. He's a real magician that does fake card readings for money. He does absolutely everything wrong and still manages to get everything he wants. He got rid of one of the villains by framing him for murder. He fully killed a guy. He's even bisexual. What's not to love?
Mallory Glass aka Sister Carpenter, The Silt Verses – Maybe my favorite podcast protagonist of all time. Attack dog of the faith. She's jaded and cynical and still gets emotionally attached to almost everyone she meets. The only thing she wants in life is a peaceful retirement from making horrible human sacrifices and two separate gods refuse to let her. We listen as she gets more and more tired of the world around her and the path the marginalization of her youth led her to take, and is still forced to keep going. Owner of the iconic line "Tell me more about your god, I wanna know whose house I wrecked", a batshit moment in a batshit episode that's been in my main blog bio for two years. I'm not ready to say goodbye to her this Thursday :(

𝐄𝐬𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭
𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 :
One third of the stepford cuckoos she was cloned in a lab, bred for power and raised to manipulate. She’s sneaky and cunning, willing to use her powers to manipulate those around her to get the results she wants. However, she has a heart of gold hidden underneath her “rough” exterior. All in all she’s impatient but a sweetheart and while she and her sisters may be able to share a mind there is a clear distinction between them, Esme being less willing to use violence as a first resort, but if you threaten anyone she cares for or back her into a corner, she’s willing to do anything. After all there’s nothing more dangerous than an animal that’s backed against the wall.
𝐛𝐢𝐨 :
Being one of five clones created in a lab meant that Esme never was destined for a normal life. She spent a large portion of her youth being controlled and manipulated into the perfect weapon, collared and kept separate from two of the five as she was forced to rip into peoples minds alongside her sisters.
At age 13 they turned against their captors. Esme, Sophie and Phoebe being the only clones that made it out alive in their escape. For years they manipulated their way into homes, faking mamories in families a day at a time only to move a few days later, it was no wonder that they were found only four years after their escape. The Hellfire club took in the three 17 year olds and utilized their abilities as much as they wished, this time fighting for her own rights or at least that's what Esme told herself.
After an undercover mission goes wrong both her sisters are taken captive and Esme devises a plan to help them escape, infiltrating the mutant underground to get them back. She wouldn't loose any more sisters.
𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 : January 3rd 1996
𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 : pansexual
𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐬 : Skylar Samuels (main) , Saree McIntosh (child), Blake Lively (older)
𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧: the gifted/mcu, hp, the magicians, percy jackson universe, winx/fate, hunger games & legacies/tvd/to , but i am willing to play in other verses as long as i know them

Hi! What’s your ao3 name?
Hi! My name on AO3 is Rynna_Aurelia (A link to my profile HERE).
And here’s my ongoing PJO/HoO/TKC stuff--since that’s the fandom I’m currently writing--with links to AO3 (Click on the titles):
In the Amber of a Moment: Nico di Angelo wakes up in Westover Hall again. And again. And again.
(Time travel loop of Titan’s Curse ft. Baby!Nico’s angst, some bonding, and an eventual open mostly-happy ending. Originally posted on Tumblr, I cleaned it up and re-posted to AO3.
One-shot, 5.7K, COMPLETE)
Sing, O Muse (Of Heroes Once More):  The world ends. Olympus falls. Percy Jackson wakes up. The children of the gods fight on.
(My eldritch horror of a time travel fix-it canon fic. Things go horribly wrong in Blood of Olympus, everyone dies, Percy wakes up in camp after killing the Minotaur. Events spiral from there. Where things aren’t as they seem, are incredibly angsty, I retcon/re-write a lot of canon, and I swear there’s going to be a happy ending if it kills me.
Ongoing series. First book is complete (112K), with the second book currently in progress (24K), and a one-shot posted in-between (5K), IN-PROGRESS)
The One Where Percy is a Magician of Questionable Competence: Threads of the Greek and Egyptian tapestries meet and a demigod is raised on the wrong side of the river. Perseus Jackson is raised a scholar of the House of Life and, more importantly, a Kane--for better and for worse.
(Slightly less crack-filled than the title would lead you to expect.  I’m hard-pressed to describe it beyond its premise. I intended to just write “The Last Olympian but Magician!Percy”, but it turned into me writing “The process and consequences of raising Percy Jackson within the House of Life.” It’s fun.
Ongoing series (75.4K). This series has grown very organically, and I’m currently writing what could be called the “main fic”--of two--of the series, but there’s about 60K words’ worth of build-up before that. IN-PROGRESS)

Tagged by @wishingupontheskyandstars Thank you <3
Rules: Name your top 10 characters from 10 different fandoms and tag 10 people.
(Do not do what I did and write essays on why you like what you like lol I doubt anybody will read this or cares)
In no particular order-
1. Star Wars: Ben Solo/Kylo Ren (he has my whole ❤️), but also Ahsoka (my role model), Ventress (what a character arc!), Rey, Anakin and Padme, Yoda (in the OT he was hilarious! In the prequels he was too serious. I guess exhile will do wonders for your sense of humor 😂 ) ugh so many great characters!!! I better stop myself.
2. GoT: ugh so many good characters in this fandom too... Arya, Brienne, Dany, Tyrion, Sansa, John, Sam, Tormund, Sandor, Jamie (except the show ruined his arc!!! Come on George, finish those books to heal my soul)... and as much as I hate her, Cersei. Yes, I know I know, but she is such a complex and well written character, and she was perfectly portrayed by the incomparable Lena Heady. She must have been so much fun to play. A once in a lifetime role, and just phenomenal for an actress to score. There are so few good female villians. You just love to hate her.
3 HP: the fandom that started it all for me, and the first novel I ever read all by myself. Also, so many good characters... Harry, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Lupin, Sirius, Dumbledore (an imperfect human being, but that's why he's a good and complex character), Snape (same reason Snape is a good character. Characters don't have to be saints to be fascinating), all the Weasleys (except Percy, you can go impale yourself on a cheap cast iron fence because you didn't spend enough time with boys, according to the psychiatrist in the Virgin Suicides aka the dumbest movie about mental illness I have ever seen).
4 Dr Who: 4th and 10th doctor. Donna (I relate to her so much and her arc is perfect and breaks my heart), and Rose (same).
5. Merlin: the best plotted fantasy show ever. Everything was tight and seemless. Again, so many great characters, but I'm in love with Merlin and Morgana (phenomenal downward chart arc! Once in a lifetime kind of role, a perfect and sympathetic villian you hate to hate because of who she used to be, and love to hate because she's such a fantastic villian)
6. Supernatural: also one of my earliest fandoms! So sad to see it go 😭. Again, so many good characters. Of course my 3 boys, Sam, Dean, and Cas, and Cas' side chick Crowely. Lucifer, Gabriel, Chuck, Meg, and the queen, Rowena.
7. The Black Magician: probably my second fandom I entered as a young child. Literally no one knows about these books, written in the late 90's and published in Australia. I admit they aren't the best written, but they were the first high fantasy I ever read by myself, introduced me to tropes that are still my favs to this day (like enemies to lovers, guardian/ward, master/apprentice, exploring themes of classism, racism, and overcoming homophobia) so they have really influenced my writing in that way. The old 90's style fantasy covers are gorgeous oil paintings that have nothing to do with the plot but they look cool 😂 the new ones are a huge downgrade, still have nothing to do with the plot, but are boring and unimaginative photoshop (fantasy, sci/fi, and romance covers of the 20th century were gorgeous). But anyway, characters. Sonea, Akkarin, Dannyl, Rothen.
8.Hannibal: yes, I am a fannibal! The NBC show is incredible, Bryan Fuller is a gift. True genuis, I've never seen more beautiful cinematography. Hannibal, Will, Alanna, Abigail
9. Grisha verse: I recently read the Shadow and Bone trilogy and I'm in love! Especially with Darkles 😊 that unrepentant irredeemable sociopath has my whole 🖤 'every inch of my tar black soul'. I haven't read YA lit for a few years, but I'm so glad I made an exception for these books! Hopefully the new Netflix adaptation will do it justice. So many good characters, but I'd pick The Darkling, Alina, Nicolai, Genya
10. PotC: my love for all things swashbuckling started in childhood and it hasn't waned a bit! Elizabeth Swan is an incredible female lead, and she especially stands out against the other female characters of the early 2000's, which at the time there wasn't really much conversation on 'the strong female character' questions all actresses get asked these days. I especially love that she's always a little smarter than Will, and the only one to ever outsmart Captain Jack himself. She has an incredible arc. This is also imo the best thing Johnny Depp has ever done. And Orlando Bloom is as magnificent a pirate as he is an elf (he was probably my first celebrity crush lol). It also has some of the best fight choreography, there's always multiple layers going on in every scene so you never get bored. The first movie is an example of a perfect film (in fact there's a video essay about it on YouTube I recommend if that's your thing), the second film is also solid. The 3rd wasn't as tightly written (they hadn't finished the script by the time they started filming lol) so it's too long and meandering but still fun. And I don't acknowledge the other films exist (although the mermaids are pretty). Elizabeth, Captain Jack Sparrow, Will, Barbossa, Davy Jones, Pintel and Raggeti
Honorable mentions:
Uglies (fantastic sci/fi, strong focuse on female friendship. Scott Westerfield is one of two male authors who can write realistically from the teenage female perspective imo), Tally, Shay, Zane, David.
The Tommorrow series (John Marsden is the second man able to write from a teenage girl's perspective) if you're not Australian or a Kiwi you probably don't know about this either lol but it's absolutely a fantastic must read! Ellie, Fiona, Robyn, Chris
Mercy Thompson (the ultimate urban fantasy werewolf series! With mysteries, fae lore and vampires thrown in to spice it up), Mercy, Adam, Jesse, Bran, Stefan
The Hollows aka Rachel Morgan series: (fun urban fantasy adventures and mystery's! Starring a witch, pixie, and bi-sexual vampire living in and running a private investigator business from a rented church, complete with old tombstones in the backyard. Also the slowest of enemy to lovers burns 😋) Rachel, Jenks, Ivy, Trent, Al
The Witcher: I'm brand new to this fandom, but I'm loving it. Yennefer is my queen!
Broadchurch: a perfect mystery series. Hardy and Miller
Hades and Persephone: The Curse of the Golden Arrow- if you like Greek mythology, Hades and Persephone, perhaps are a reylo fan and are a fan of the incomparable @heidihastings (who I'm also challenging!) reylo inspired art, then go buy this gorgeously illustrated novel!

Anyone know any good “Powerful being” thrown into another universe stories?
Im not sure if this is the proper flair if it is not I apologize. Anyways, me properly elaborate on this. I recently discovered a type of crossover that I love. I made this discovery after reading several fics by Cambrian Beckett (who wrote several stories about an original hybrid from the vampire diaries ending up in various other fictional worlds) as well as recently coming a cross a Bloodborne multi cross about the main protagonist of bloodborne (who becomes a eldritch god) going to the dc universe (and later going to the witcher). Normally I’m not super into fics where the protagonist is vastly overpowered but the way these stories were written and combined lore and the little lies these beings from other worlds would tell to try to tie themselves into the world they were in. As well as how characters from the world they go into try to relate it to their world. Really interested me to be honest.
It just is such an interesting concept to me. Having this being with powers that seem so foreign and mysterious to the world they go into. Seeing how everything unfolds because of it.
I’m probably explaining this badly to be honest. Basically I want a story that features a powerful being from a scifi or supernatural world, going into another supernatural or scifi world. But a world that is pretty different from the one they came from. For example I wouldn’t really be too interested in reading a story about a character from buffy ending up in being human/ or true blood. But I would be interested in reading a story about a character from the witcher ending up in buffy or a character from buffy ending up in the witcher or a character from Marvel ending up in the walking dead.
Personally I don’t mind if I don’t recognize the fandoms the character goes into as long as I know the fandom the main character is from (though actually I’m fine with not knowing the main characters fandom if I know the world they crossover into i just would prefer recognizing the world of the main character over the world they go into. But it can go either way. ) it doesn’t necessarily have to be one person . The bloodborne crossover i read actually involved many bloodborne characters crossing over into other worlds but it’s main focus was on one character and it was a gradual development To 2 people and eventually 100s coming along for the ride.
So as long as the story atleast starts with a focus on say 1-3 characters from another world I think I could enjoy it.
Some fandoms I’d be interested in seeing are Bloodborne, all the soulsborne series (even sekiro), any of the elder scrolls games, runescape Game of thrones/a song of ice and fire, Zelda, Pokemon, Final fantasy (I’ve only played 6,7,8,9), chrono trigger, vampire diaries, true blood, buffy, being human, the witcher, lost in space, lost, the 100, terra nova, re;zero , the magicians, Percy Jackson, Rising of the shield hero, death note, haven, the walking dead, Van helsing (tv show), Wynonna Earp, supernatural, once upon a time, witches of east end, Gotham, General arrow verse, Marvelverse, metroid, hollow knight, celeste, red dead redemption (either of them), gta, stranger things, altered carbon, twilight, Harry Potter, naruto, and xenoblade game series.
I realize that list was very long and not in alphabetical order. Hope it’s easy for everyone to comprehend and not too overwhelming again. Just wanna reiterate that I’m fine with not knowing one of the fandoms of the crossover. I would prefer to know the world the main character is from but I’m fine with stories where I don’t as long as I recognize the fandom they go into (if it’s a multi cross I’d prefer the fandom I recognize to either be the main characters or the first fandom they go into)
I realize I probably made these rules a bit too specific and hard to look for. So honestly just suggest me any stories you know that fit this bill featuring one of the fandoms I listed, feel free to suggest stories that fit this bill with fandoms I didn’t list as well if you think they are very good and can be read fandom blind.

"Why'd you-" Magnus follows Alec's gaze to the sky and understands why he'd stopped. "Holy fuck."

Listed fandom fun -
One week into signups for FTH 2023 and Good Omens has slightly increased its lead and its lock on first place.

Original work, Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing), Stranger Things, and Scum Villain's Self-Saving System have seen significant bumps up the list.
A signup for any of these fandoms would be their first -
Assassin’s Creed Dracula Ghosts (BBC) Goncharov (1973) The Green Knight
And a signup for any of these would literally double their signups -
1 Captive Prince 1 Cyberpunk 2077 1 Julie and the Phantoms 1 Lucifer (TV) 1 Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries 1 Schitt's Creek 1 Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse 1 The Terror (TV 2018) 1 Venom 1 Voltron 1 Wheel of Time

CotIG and Riordan verse thoughts again...
I wonder if Laura Glue would technically be allowed into Camp Halfblood given her Grandfather holds the title of the Pan...I mean it’d be justification enough so that the trio of Rose, Archimedes, and Laura Glue end up there while others (Charles, Edmund, Poe(Chronos), and Houdini?) end up elsewhere. Well maybe Houdini to? I can’t remember if he was mentioned in passing as being a Demigod or Magician.. Point is, Imagine what Fun Rose and Laura Glue would have participating in some CHB capture the flag. Hephaestus cabin losing their minds over Archimedes. All CotIG characters (except maybe Poe?) mistaking Chiron for Charys at least once. Someone from the Hecate cabin and someone from Brooklyn House being familiar with Charles’ work. Charles ending up at Rick Riordan’s doorstep and trying to figure out the state of the world and where everyone else is (Road trip!). Also Charles being chased by The Furies or somesuch since Charles Williams is supposed to be dead. The same possibly happening to Rose, Poe, and maybe Houdini? It depends I guess on how the Universe recognizes Poe...which is an odd statement. Poe making such a horrible impression with the House of Life (given his stated opinion on Chaos, and his proficiency with Storm magic(among others) that he’s mistaken as a Villian and every Nome is on the lookout for a guy who looks sorta like Edgar Allan Poe but has Green Glasses on that make him somehow not Edgar Allan Poe. Also going by the name Chronos or Poe... Rose and Laura Glue fighting monsters (which everyone blames on some Evil magician that Carter warned Percy about). Echthroi involved somehow but probably not? Poe getting recognized by a slew of other names (with at least one person recognizing him as Cain oddly enough). Possibly meeting the Cain of the Riordanverse (if there is one?) Various character interactions. Rose and Anabeth. Rose and Leo and Hazel (being in different times and what not). A great dislike of Prophecies. Laura Glue getting along with the Hunters of Artemis. Flat out rejects even the hint of joining them (being from another universe and in a happy wonderful relationship). Laura Glue being reminded of Haven with how dinner works at CHB (Haven food being better of course). Gets sad when Anabeth brings up Daedalus....then has a heartfelt talk with Rose and one of the Riordan characters about Uncles. Caliburn and the Ruby Dagger probably work on Monsters just as well as Celestial Bronze? Edmund working on Mapping all the Mythological aspects of the Riordan verse for the Interdimensional Geographica (what’s a fancy way to say Many Worlds or Dimensional?) CotIG characters having a wonderful reunion when they all finally meet up again (big group hug with the Young Magicians). Poe meeting up with Various Gods...because. Houdini is involved somehow. Edmund making first (or second after Poe) Contact with the Kane Chronicles Characters...not that he’s Magical...he just runs into them. Probably Hm...I’m just realized that the only one whose regular outfit doesn’t stick out is Charles...and even then a Blue suit with Burgandy Hair is still pretty striking. But anyway Edmund meeting Carter somehow and they both get along being huge Nerds each chatting with the other about their respective interests, about their respective responsibilities vaugely (Cartographer of Lost Places and Pharaoh of the House of Life respectively) and Carter just invinting him over to hang out. Everyone taking note of his accent. Sadie thinking ‘finally someone who knows all my slang’ with Edmund still being fairly confused about some of it...and everyone deciding Edmund needs better Threads...so Shopping! They got away from me there. What was I saying. Percy noting how awesome Rose’s blue hair is (assuming she hasn’t dyed it something else by the point) Wondering how quickly they’d explain ‘we are from another universe and are here for reasons’! Or if they’d keep that secret for some reason. I could see Percy badmouthing Circe at some point in earshot of Rose and while their technically not the same Circe, that’s Rose’s surrogate Aunt you’re badmouthing Percy! Caliburn vs Riptide...would be cool. Probably would be fairly even? Unless they end up by a river or lake...don’t know if Rose’s Imago capabilities of bending Space and Time carry over. Rose and Laura Glue having battles of Wit with Anabeth. I’m unfortunately blanking on most of the Heroes of Olympus characters. Poe mistaken for a returned Chronos? Wait...Kronos was completely destroyed st the end of the Last Olympian right? I forget..it’s been ages. But considered a threat by the Gods (given his ability to Name and Bind them still) and the Greek characters are told he’s a threat (though the Naming and Binding is left out so Rose and company don’t immediately realize its Poe) There’d probably be some actual villainous party...but I don’t know. And of course literary references about and arguments over Greek Myths (mostly Rose, Charles, and Laura Glue forgetting they’re in a different dimension where those myths went different then how they went where they’re from). Poe finding Charles before Charles finds Edmund Wait...I just realized...the Anabasis Machines double as Comunication devices right? Or wait...no that’s not right is it? The Cabal’s had that cool Hologram stuff...but I can’t remember if the Caretakers’ Watches also has those... Maybe said communication just isn’t working for some reason? Dimensional laws interfering or something... Also Rose challenging Thor in place of Jesus (since I know at least the thing about Thor wanting to fight Jesus or something) I digress. If any Scowlers who know more about the Riordan verse (or whatever it’s called) have any thoughts on the matter, do share. I’m certain they’ll be much better than my Ramblings (sincere here. Not sarcastic. Absolutely sincere I swear). Make of this what you will. Al, the Chronographing Cottager and Prince of Naming
