Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water
give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground
Water isn’t meant to be contained.
a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him
who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything
because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please
Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you
A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power
He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

semi-ironic doodle of orion inspired by a fight club screenshot, that's why he's got a cigarette.
(is there a term for doing kinda the opposite of a woobification and making a character come off as edgier than what they actually are? cuz i feel like thats what i do with him sometimes)

HAPPY 413! Here's more of the [non-Sburb AU] Filipino/multiracial Striders I write and draw. Bitter melon was on sale in the store, so I bought a ton, and I was like, 'How can I make this Homestuck content?' Lol. I like the taste, but I thought it would be funny to have Bro bully Dave into eating it as a punishment for being a sneaky vegetable-hating teen. (Good thing Lil Cal is always there to keep an eye on him when Bro is out.)
Idk, mostly wanted to draw the food, bc bitter melon looks so fun when it's sliced like that.
Bro and Dave are both trans men.
Image text below cut:
[Dave walks in on Bro cooking. Lil Cal is seated at the table already.]
Dave: the fuck- what are you cooking
Bro: Ginisang ampalaya. Heard you're not eatin' your veggies.
Dave: cal... fuckin snitch
Bro: HEY.
Dave: seriously what is that alien dick
Dave: ugh its all bumpy too
Bro: Bitter melon. It tastes like cucumber skin, but has a better texture.
Dave: fuckin gross
Bro: What, are you a fuckin' pussy? Too white to try pagkaing Pilipino? ["Filipino food"]
Dave: damn right if it involves warty dick-cumbers
Dave: aint filipino no more
Dave: gonna have to hog the white genes on this
Bro: Here. Prob want some cock sauce on that.
[The food has crisp bitter melon, melted tomatoes, and scrambled eggs.]
Dave: ugh do i have to eat it
Bro: Yes.
[Everyone is seated at the table. 'Cock sauce' is Sriracha because of the rooster on the bottle.]
Dave: oh its not bad
Dave: ... [The bitterness sets in.]
Lil Cal: HAA HAA
Dave: is this even edible
Bro: Sure is. [Bro eats it normally.] And if I hear you're not eating your vegetables... Well, I'll just have to cook more of the same thing dad used to make me. There's enough to last all week.
Dave: ...fuck
Bro: Eat up. It's healthy.
Dave: please dont make me eat this
Dave: ill eat any other vegetables ok? just not this
Bro: That's what I wanna hear. But you're still finishing this one. For throwing out all that food.
Dave: ugh
END.
