Ethan Nakamura Headcanons

ethan hated the police. ethan grew up in Baltimore, where there seemed to be so many police but rarely ever a rightful arrest. ethan hated how unbalanced it all was, and believed that the police needed to get their act together. he always dreamed of seeing justice.

ethan's favorite show was criminal minds. when criminal minds first came out, ethan was still fairly young, but he loved and understood (most of) it. he first saw it on the stolen tv the stolls had set up. it would play every froday night and every night ethan would be there, the only one (everybody else hated watching it), ready to figure out the case, hoping the find out the unsub before the team did. ethan's favorite character was garcia, strangely, and when travis asked why he simply didn't respond. (it was because she saw the scariest sh!t and always seemed to be forgotten, but ethan would never say that of course)

ethan didn't participate in any sports- besides figure-skating. when ethan was only seven, his father tried signing him up for hockey classes at a local rink. there were no available spots at the moment, so ethan told his father he'd just settle for figure-skating; "it's good practice!; instead. within minutes of stepping on the rink, ethan knew he would like it. by the time he was seven and a half, he could do jumps and land them successfully almost each time. by the time he was eight, he was better than most of the older kids; it all just came naturally. when ethan first came to chb, he was most excited about the Rockefeller Center Rink, and he snuck out any night he could to go skating.

ethan was aromantic asexual. ethan grew up with his father's whole "girls are a distraction" mentality, so by the time he hit puberty, he didn't find it weird he wasn't attracted to anybody. it wasn't until getting to camp half-blood that he realized there was a name for this. it's not like ethan was clueless- he knew that some people liked other people of their same gender and so on, but his dad never really talked about that with him. anyway, when he first got to camp, some girl from the aphrodite cabin started hitting on him- or, tried to. it took him about five minutes to realize she was even talking to him, and once he did, he asked her why. the girl's face flushed for just one second before her eyes suddenly got deep. so deep that it scared him made ethan nervous. "follow me." and he did. they ended up at the aphrodite cabin, where the girl handed him a book, "A Guide of The Community (By Aphrodite)." I think you should read this." and he did. and when he was finished, he went to her, asking her how? how did she know before him? "i guess...my mom. i just had a feeling." even though ethan knew now, he never came out or anything; he didn't see the need to. he just liked having a name for what he felt...it made him feel...apart of something.

ethan had an eidetic memory. while most nemesis demigods have pretty sharp memories when it comes to insults/promises, ethan always remembered everything. he could remember things from his early years, he remembered every number, every sentence, every action. and that was cool to him, for a while. until he got older. then, he remembered every death, every little detail. he remembered all the faces of the dead demigods, kids his age and younger. he remembered every word percy had said to try to save him. he remembered everything. and he hated it.

ethan was captain of his school's debate team. ethan attended a maryland school until he was almost fifteen before he went to camp. during the ages 11-14, ethan was on his school's debate team. he was good at debating, not because he yelled or always thought he was right, but, because he always told the truth. and the truth was always something he fully believed in. somebody could show him a thousand reasons he was wrong, but if he knew at least one reason he was right, he would run with that and use it to win.

ethan had small tattoos everywhere. he had one dove on his left wrist, and on the other wrist a single eye. on his back was "balance" in Japanese, and both ankles sported small handcuff tattoos. his favorite one? his lip tattoo that said "K4RM4" he got it retouched almost every year

ethan hated movies, but loved old books. for some reason, ethan could never sit through movies, and he always thought they were too slow-paced. but with books, especially old novels (like the Sherlock Holmes collection), he could read as fast as he wanted eithout missing anything. it was weird, too, how his dyslexia wasn't as bad when he found a book he really loved. he liked that.

ethan always smelled of vanilla and black licorice. he didn't really know why, and it always kind of bugged him. bugged him so much to the point he started wearing cologne. nothing helped though, and his natural scent always overpowered processed ones. while he hated, almost everybody thought he always smelled good. nobody said it, though. people were a little scared of him at times, to be honest.

ethan only had one dream in his life. since ethan had an eidetic memory, he also remembered every dream he had. the thing was, though, ethan never had any dreams. or nightmares. nothing. his "dreams" at night were just silence and blackness, no visions or anything. while he was at camp half-blood, he hid this from everybody. almost every night some demigod would have a crazy dream; about going a quest, getting claimed, killing a great monster, etc, etc. but he never had any. and he prayed and prayed daily, but to no avail. but. his first and last dream was when he died. as he fell from Mt. Olympus, the dropping elevation made him fall asleep. he dreamed of nemesis demigods living in a cabin at camp, he dreamed of percy visiting them, letting them know they weren't forgotten. his first and last dream was when he died, and he smiled the whole dream.

If you’re still doing the relationship headcanons, what about my favorite crackship of Hyperion/Percy (which I’ve never actually seen fics of, something that never fails to make me laugh since Percy is shipped with almost everyone else)

I’m 100% still doing them! I’ve never actually considered Hyperion/Percy before, but I’ll try my best.

Their relationship has a rocky start, to say in the least. Hyperion wasn’t the fondest of being turned into a tree temporarily, but that satyr definitely wasn’t just a satyr.

Percy still rejected the opportunity to become a god, even if it wasn’t for Annabeth (romantically).

However, he finds himself going to visit Hyperion’s tree (all while Hyperion is still trapped within) and talking to it.

It starts out once a week, mourning all the demigods he knew that died in the war, both on CHB’s side and Kronos’s (he knew a lot of them from the Hermes cabin in his first week). It turns into him ranting about all his problems and worries.

Percy tells Hyperion all his issues with his dad and how he resolved most of them. He rants about how Kronos took advantage of all those hurting kids for his own gains. He talks about Ethan Nakamura. He talks about his baby brother Tyson and how proud and scared he is of the fact that he’s a Cyclops General (“he’s like, 10!” Percy insists). He talks about the weight off his back of being the child of the prophesy and his fears that the new one will deal with him.

Hyperion, strangely, finds himself relating more and more to Percy. Percy begins to outline his quests in detail (as he records them to send them to a publishing studio) and Hyperion finds himself cheering him on and cursing his brother for making Percy’s life even more difficult.

After a while, Percy is visiting every single day until one day the visits stop completely. He misses one day and Hyperion feels annoyed. He misses the second and he starts getting actively worried, beginning to work on getting himself out of the tree again.

Hyperion escapes rather quickly but finding Percy (no, no, he’s not worried, Percy just hadn’t finished his story yet) is a different matter. He’s keen to stay under the gods’ radar and thus avoids any gods he can as he looks. This translates to him not finding Percy until he’s on the boat on the way to Alaska.

He teleports onto the boat and immediately has a sword swinging at him. He begins to explain himself, his time in the tree before Percy cuts him off by asking who exactly he is?

As it turns out, having Percy explain his life to him is very useful in helping regain his memories. And after swearing on the Styx, Hyperion joins them in their mission.

Hyperion and Thanatos stare each other down as Frank’s stick melts the chains. Hyperion ensures it burns as hot as possible while burning as little of the stick as possible.

Hyperion finds himself remarkably useless during the fight, however he does have a nice chat with his mother that ultimately results in Hyperion officially being on the gods’ side in the Second Gigantomachy.

However, despite this he finds himself away from the Seven for the vast majority of it, as the gods, while reluctantly accepting of him, refuse to let him anywhere near the questing team.

However, after the war is a different issue. Hyperion also went through Tartarus, and he finds himself spending a lot of time talking to Percy about his experiences and comforting him. He was not evil for poisoning Akhlys.

They get together on the one year anniversary of the Gigantomachy. Percy’s books were published, with multiple parts changed to make them seem written by someone who barely knew the myths. The two of them drink and laugh and return to the sight of Hyperion’s tree.

They end up kissing under the stars of Nyx. They watch the sunrise and Hyperion babbles about how both he and Aether have heavenly light as a domain.

Their favourite date is watching the sunrise together. Percy tried to take them up on Blackjack to watch but Hyperion can’t seem to trust the Pegasus (a good choice, Blackjack doesn’t like him).

Despite this, getting Percy up to watch the sunrise is a whole other struggle. They miss it more often than not. They just end up cuddling.

Speaking of cuddling, Hyperion is a space heater. This is amazing in the winter but horrible in the summer and Percy has pushed him off the bed more than once. This is after his heat resistance.

Everyone loves Sally, but Hyperion actually gets along with Paul best. He finds Paul’s incessant questioning endearing, and it actually reminds him of some of his siblings.

Hyperion loves giving everyone jewlery. Sally is constantly getting jewlery for Mother’s Day. Percy got a bracelet that turned into a bow on his birthday. It took Hyperion a moment to figure out why he was laughing so hard.

Overall they’re a cute couple.

ok y'all have been sorting pjo characters into hogwarts houses which would be nice if you were doing it right

it’s great that you’re trying and all but the thing is, I find a lot of them following the same pattern:

All the demigods are automatically in Gryffindor, because they’re super brave. Octavian and Ethan Nakamura and Clarisse and all sorts of people the fandom doesn’t like are obviously in Slytherin because, you know, Slytherin is hella evil. Then we’ve got the stuck-ups in Ravenclaw and the background characters in Hufflepuff, ‘cause apparently it’s the potato House.

Since all this is hella stereotypical and not at all correct, I was like, well, what would I do? Well hERE IS THE ANSWER ASSHATS

*bill nye voice* please...cOnSiDeR tHe FoLLoWiNg

Percy is a hella Hufflepuff, no denying it, not one bit. He doesn’t care about a position or nothing, he is just a pure Hufflepuff inside and out.

Let’s talk about some major Hufflepuff qualities here:

• Dedication (yo my boy percy is pretty dedicated to the camp and to staying alive am i right i mean he was literally not at all tempted to join kronos’ army like ever soo yeah. also. consider a thing. have u even read the books. if they are a smol bean and he has met them at least 15 mins ago u bet ur lil ass he’s dedicated)

• Patience (percy has not decapitated a SINGLE god on purpose and they all keep coming back, i mean it’s bound to happen someday but CMON YOU GOTTA ADMIRE HIM FOR THAT. literally so patient. even by ADHD standards and its ok u can ask me i have ADHD but that’s beside the point back to percy now)

• Loyalty (it’s his freaking fatal flaw wtf else do you want from him??? to jump into tartarus out of loyalty to his girlfriend??? you do one wrong thing to percy’s friend and he will mESS UP YOUR SHIT LIKE A TRUE HUFFLEPUFF DON’T EVEN PRETEND HE WON’T. remember nancy? I THOUGHT SO. FIRST FEW PAGES OF THE SERIES. AND IT ONLY GETS BETTER)

THAT BEING SAID: ALL THESE THINGS ARE DEF PRETTY IMPORTANT TO PERCY OKAY

Conclusion: HELGA HUFFLEPUFF IS HAPPY THAT SHE HAS SUCH A HELLA HUFFLEPUFF IN HER HOUSE WHERE HE BELONGS.

Don’t try to tell me my girl Annabeth is a Ravenclaw because she ain’t no Ravenclaw get outta my face and let me lay down some FACTS here

LOOK AT THESE SLYTHERIN/ANNABAE TRAITS

• Cunning (we all know what this means so lemme just throw down some hella rad SYNONYMS because those are just the bOMB DIGGITY: we got crafting, scheming, designing, and calculating rn. YOU KNOW WHO IS ALL OF THOSE THINGS? MY GIRL ANNIE. FIGHT ME. I GOT ANNABETH ON MY TEAM AND SHE WILL SLAY YOU WITH HER CLEVERNESS AND DECEIT BEFORE SHE EVEN TAKES OUT HER DAGGER. SHE TRICKED ARACHNE INTO WEAVING HER OWN DEATH TRAP FOR ZEUS’ SAKE)

• Resourcefulness (lil bby annabeth ran away from home in SAN FRANCISCO when she was SEVEN and met luke and thalia in RICHMOND which is in VIRGINIA. SHE WAS SEVEN AND SOMEHOW WENT FROM THE WEST COAST TO THE EAST COAST. GOTTA BE RESOURCEFUL FOR THAT. also remember that time when she broke her ankle, scolded it, then made a cast out of bUBBLE WRAP? BECAUSE I DO. AND THEN THE WHOLE WEAVING A BRIDGE THING. DANG GIRL.)

• Ambition (don’t deny it this girl’s fatal flaw is pride and those two things are connected aS SHIT. SHE’S SO INTENT ON BEING AN ARCHITECT THAT SHE GOT THE GODS TO GIVE HER A JOB REDESIGNING MOUNT OLYMPUS AND THATS A BIG ASS THING IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF. reminder that this girl had the chance to get away from a sphinx but she challenged it instead because it was sorta insulting?? who else do we know is like this?? oh yeah fUCKIGN SLYTHERINS)

ANNABETH BAMF CHASE HAS ALL THESE QUALITIES AND SHE KNOWS IT. THAT’S WHY SHE USES THEM TO HER ADVANTAGE SO OFTEN.

Conclusion: SALAZAR SLYTHERIN SAYS ANNABETH CHASE CAN SLAY HIS BASILISK ANYTIME THAT’S HOW PERFECT SHE IS FOR THIS HOUSE.

LEMME TALK TO YOU ABOUT A THING HERE. A BIG THING. AN IMPORTANT THING. JASON IS A RAD LIL RAVENCLAW BOOGER AND HERE’S WHY. THERE ARE A WHOLE LOTTA RAVENCLAW TRAITS BUT IMMA GIVE YOU 3.

• Wisdom (yeah annabeth’s mom may be the goddess of wisdom but if jason wasn’t wise then how the heckity heck would he have survived long enough to be made a freaking PRAETOR. also you know what fight me. jason is the equivalent of a giant dog that is a floofer and goes boof and loves small children but that has nothing to do with wisdom anyway he is one of the smartest out of the seven)

• Individuality (yeah that’s a thing go ask my girl JK. if jason isn’t so Original™ then explain to me please how he restored the Fifth Cohort to awesomeness?? he was a total badass who didn’t take any shit and turned it around for the whole cohort that’s how. this lil boi is an individual yis. one might ask how can one be a badass but also be a fluffball? well jason did it so stop asking ok)

• Acceptance (we are talking about the official mom friend and the founder of the nico di angelo protection squad what else do you want him to do, hug mother earth??? he wrote the song you’ve got a friend in me because he loves everyone)

SEE HERE: JASON IS A TOTAL DORK NERD WHO POKES PIPER AND GOES “PIPER. PIPER LISTEN TO THIS THING I FOUND OUT TODAY. PIPER ISN’T IT AWESOME”

Conclusion: NOWHERE ELSE IS WHERE JASON GOES. HE WEARS THE RAVENCLAW DIADEM TO ALL OF HIS CLASSES. FIGHT ME. ALSO THE GREY LADY BC HE MAKES HER COOKIES AND SHE LOVES IT EVEN THOUGH SHE’S DEAD AND CAN’T EAT THEM.

Consider yourself a thing. Consider all of the Gryffindor Piper things. JUST CONSIDER THEM.

• Recklessness (subtle reminder that Piper used her charmspeak to fuckign steal stuff even though she knew she would get caught. also consider yourself some other things. remember when she anNIHILATED A FRICKIN GODDESS WITH HER IMPULSIVENESS BECAUSE YES. remember when she and anniebell had to do the thing with the stuff that was all about feelings and shit but lil orphan annie over there was totally lost and all like “this is hella illogical” and pipes was just all “we just gotta dO THE THING ANNABETH” and it was total badassery bc it’s the reason i live)

• Bravery (this girl went on her first quest like a week after she found out she was a demigod and would probably die a painful death bUT DID SHE STUTTER?? nah. REMEMBER WHEN SHE SCREAMED AT A CROWD OF ANGRY ROMAN CHILDREN WHO WANTED MURDER BECAUSE JASON GOT HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A BRICK AND SHE HAD TO PROTECT HIM??? BRAVE. went on her first quest knowing that her dad was probably gonna die and did all the things to make the giants angry and plan a rescue??? BRAVE AF.)

• Chivalry (HELLA amazing friend because she’s just sO GENUINE AND KIND and you know that if someone hurts you she will CUT THEM WITH HER SUPER BADASS KNIFE THAT GIVES PEOPLE NIGHTMARES. stands by jason ALL THE TIME especially when he needs her and actually everyone can count on her for all of the things.)

SO: IF YOU DON’T THINK PIPER IS HELLA BRAVE THEN YOU ARE VERY WRONG MY DEAR FRIEND.

Conclusion: Piper would have defeated Voldemort by year 2 but sadly she was not the chosen one. GODRIC GRYFFINDOR SAYS HER FACE SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY ENGRAVED ON HIS SWORD SO THAT THE LAST THING THEIR ENEMIES SEE IS THE CUTE AND UNFORGIVING FACE OF PIPER MCLEAN.

On the subject of Leo: This child is a Ravenclaw through and through no evidence needed but jUST IN CASE I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE STUFF.

• Creativity (we are talking about a smol bean who makes tiny helicopters and stuff that actually works WHEN HE IS NOT EVEN LOOKING AT WHAT HE IS DOING OR PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO IT. remember how this child saw a terrifying bronze dragon that everyone had tried and failed to tame and just went “sweet, imma grab that so we can ride off into the Canadian sunset”??? yeahp. remember when apollo needed a thing so he just casually freaking iNVENTED A BRAND NEW INSTRUMENT LIKE IT WAS NBD??? I DO. BADASS)

• Originality (leo practically becomes famous for his abilities to come up with plans that are so ridiculously original that nobody figures out what’s happening before it’s too late and if that’s not good enough for you then idk what is. allow me to raise you the cyclops incident, right next to the robot eidolons thing plus that whole fiasco where he fuckign died, also did i mention the valdezinator or the fact that he was the only person to ever figure out how to return to ogygia?? this kid is a mechanical engineer already and he’s 16 im pretty sure baby eight year old leo sat through calculus classes at a local college and got the best grades tbh)

• Wit (leo is the master of comebacks and rash two-minute ideas that actually end up working like damn son this is a purebred Ravenclaw right here lemme just appreciate this. also hey remember that time where he got launched off of a flying ship and was hurtling downwards at a very alarming rate because you know that’s what happens when you fall and he literally actually built himself a working helicopter so that he wouldn’t die all while free falling from probably at least a few thousand feet in the air like damn son)

AS A FOOTNOTE: LEO CAN RIVAL ANNABETH IN KNOWLEDGE I MEAN HE IS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER WHAT MORE DO YOU ASK FOR

Conclusion: Leo and Jason share the diadem. Leo gets it on mondays, wednesdays and fridays and Jason gets to wear it on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays and on sundays they surrender it to the marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw in the Ravenclaw Tower who says that LEO DESERVES TO BE IN RAVENCLAW EVEN MORE SO THAN YOUR AVERAGE STUDENT COME AT ME BRO

ok well hazel is somehow both my child and my mom so I’m not exactly sure how that works but anyway hERE ARE ALL THE REASONS THAT HAZEL IS A BEAUTIFUL, BADASS SLYTHERIN.

• Cunning (hey y'all remember that time with the cliff and the turtle and the feet?? terrifying huh?? yeah girl slay!! hazel will trick you and manipulate you and you won’t have any idea it’s happening until you’re being gobbled up by your own gargantuan pet sea turtle. Slytherins are also known for achieving their ends in any and all ways and all i could think of was how my child actually literally fuckign died so that she could stop the rise of acelonywhatever and the whole time she was 13 and staring death and gaea right in the frickin face and she didn’t give any shits at all)

• Resourcefulness (let’s talk about that time when hazel was “captured” by the amazons and basically had nothing so she did the only logical thing which was drown them in massive piles of jewelry from the warehouse and make them beg for mercy, also there was this horse thing that nobody could touch and she just casually goes “oh just a sec lemme summon a giant gold nugget that was probably at least a mile into the dirt because how else would it be this big” and he loves her and she rides him into victory. did i mention that hazel is my mom?? this is just one (1) of the sUPER RAD RESOURCEFUL THINGS that hazel manages to pull off)

• Ambition (hazel both believes and knows for a fact that she can literally do all of the things and she never once doubts herself like at all because she is AMAZEBALLS LIKE THAT. SHE WAS 13 AND THE AMAZONS WERE ALL LIKE “DANG GIRL WE WANT YOU ON OUR TEAM” and she was like “i got this huge to-do list but nbd i’ll get her done” like she is pURE CONFIDENCE AND. YES)

Also: SHE’S TOTALLY SUPER COOL WITH ALL THE THINGS AND IS NEVER FAZED. THAT IS MY GIRL.

Conclusion: HAZEL LEVESQUE IS SLYTHERIN AF AND WILL ALWAYS ACHIEVE HER ENDS NO MATTER HOW MANY GIANT SEA TURTLES SHE HAS TO FEED YOU TO. SALAZAR SLYTHERIN FRICKIN APPROVES AND THINKS THAT SHE IS JUST AS TERRIFYING AS ANNABETH.

Not gonna deny that my lil noob Frankie's a tRUE PURE-HEARTED GRYFFINDOR. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD AGREE WITH ME.

• Chivalry (WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A CHILD WHO WILL TRIP OVER HIS OWN FEET AND PUNCH HIMSELF IN THE FACE IF IT MEANS HE’S SHOWING RESPECT TO YOU. my dude doesn’t care who you are, he will literally always show you respect until he’s given a reason not to. everything he eVER DOES is because he’s PROTECTING SOMEONE or he’s GETTING A LIL BIT OF PAYBACK and if that’s noT A GRYFFINDOR THING THEN DAMN SON YOU SHOULD REALLY SORT OUT YOUR PRIORITIES)

• Bravery (if you’re going to come into mY HOUSE and tell me that FRANK ZHANG ISN’T BRAVE then feel free to hit yourself in the face with a hammer because guess what losers?? this kid loses his mom and then his gma just goes “oh by the way you’re half god and you have a gift that you need to figure out for yourself and also here’s this piece of wood, don’t burn it or else you will actually die, now go with this pack of fuckign wolves to camp so that monsters won’t attack you and you won’t die, plus when you get there you have to beg forgiveness for this thing that your great grandfather did or else they might literally murder you. have fun” and frankie just rOLLS WITH IT AND KICKS ASS WHILE BEING A CUTE LIL CHUBBY BUNNY. LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT HOW HE COMPLETELY OBLITERATED A WHOLE CITY’S WORTH OF MONSTERS to appease a stupid ass god and save nico and hazel from being forever plants and he gets back and trippy is absolutely terrified of him because omg he’s glowing red and he actually did the thing and oh also he kind of scared me so much that i sort of forgot i was a god and had power over him)

• Nerve (let me repeat how FRANK ENOUGH NERVE TO THREATEN A GOD WITHOUT EVEN THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES. I’M SO DONE WITH THIS. THIS IS MY SHIT THANKS. PLS APPRECIATE FRANKIE YOURE ALL BREAKING MY HEART. Also remember how he entrusted his real actual lifeline to somebody who wasn’t him like daaang boi that is so pure)

Additionally: FRANK ZHANG IS THE REASON I AM ALIVE AND WELL. ALSO REMEMBER HOW HE BECAME PRAETOR?? I DO BELIEVE THAT IS THE MOST BADASS WAY ANYONE HAS EVER BECOME PRAETOR PLEASE AND THANKS

Conclusion: GODRIC GRYFFINDOR CRIED WHEN FRANK WAS SORTED INTO HIS HOUSE. GODRIC DOESN’T THINK HE EVEN DESERVES FRANK. FRANK CAN HAVE 4 OF HIS SWORDS.

THIS HAS BEEN A THING. A THING WITH HOUSES AND PJO. I HOPE THIS WAS ENTERTAINING AT LEAST. THANK YOU KINDLY.
