once read this headcanon about the big three kids subconsciously generating an aura of power. small in comparison to their fathers. but great enough to put all mortals, demigods, monsters within the vicinity, and some minor gods on edge. but it would be so cool if it was something they could active on command. like, percy dealing with a bully at school and subtly dropping the air pressure in the room with a quick glare, making the bully think twice. like, thalia over hearing someone say the wrong thing about annabeth and the tension in the room feeling like lightning could strike at any moment, making them regret ever opening their mouth. like, someone getting on nico's bad side and the room subtly darkening, and no matter where they are, it feels like he's watching them from the shadows.

one thing abt thalia and percy's dynamic that is often overlooked is that percy was punished for the same things thalia was rewarded for. there's a prophecy abt one of the big three kids? percy is treated like a liar and thief and ppl refuse to talk to him. thalia? everyone respects her (including gods!) and assumes she'll do a great job saving the world. thalia is accepted immediately at camp and threatens the place percy spent two years proving he deserves. percy wants to go on a quest to save his friend? he's an attention seeker and glory stealer. thalia? well, she's the obvious choice. thalia comes up w a plan to win capture the flag that's basically "leave everything to me" and percy comes up with a plan that's basically "if you see a good opportunity, go for it," but percy is viewed as the control freak.

what i'm saying is percy had every reason to resent thalia and he didn't. he chose not to. and thalia had every reason to look down on percy and didn't.

even when they were fighting, i never saw it as a power struggle. they were being pit against each other, and instead of doing what everyone expected them to (kronos was fully expecting thalia to kill percy), they chose to love and respect each other. because they're not their parents. they're just two kids who started cracking under the pressure but refused to break.

I present some nerdy prudes (oh and Max)

(I really wanted to take a shot at giving them all more than 1-3ish outfits that I think fit their styles)

I saw a post somewhere about how Percy is probably jealous of Jason's relationship with Nico, because Nico can connect with Jason as an older brother figure, while with Percy there's all this baggage and the reminder of Bianca hanging over them.

And I realized. Nico is probably jealous of Jason for similar reasons. Jason and Percy have this casual bromance going on. They fight together, they make storms together, they regard each other as equals. And Nico is just. There. The youngest one. The weird one. And there's too much stuff between him and Percy for them to ever be completely comfortable together, even though, I think, Nico would secretly love to get a Percy fistbump.

Idk now I want to write a fic about it

Just like a person, the Town is a process. It's movement. In this town, people can make the impossible, for it is a machine. A border-breaking machine.

nico is the password child, thalia is the 'reason we have a curfew' child, and percy is the 'reason we cant be left unsupervised with anything sharp and why fire of any kind isnt allowed in the house anymore' child

Don't even look at each other before marriage

I have been sketching. So much tma. Here's some expansions on my Jon and Martin designs I've been doing.

Another note I forgor to mention is I love how after hearing Simon go "it's enough to make your hair turn white" about Martin's office in s4 many of us collectively agreed his hair turned white because of his association with the Lonely. The shared consciousness is real and we use it to play hot potato with the communal brain cell dedicated to the sillies.

Closeup of apocalypse boyfriends (also to the person who said they love my s5 Jon's fancy white girl updo: I think about that every day)

i desperately need to see the big three kids kick ass together. give me a scene where they don't hold back as they turns the tides against the enemy in the blink of an eye. give me the scenes of other demigods watching in awe and horror at how easily the big three kids take out a threat. give me the scenes that show us why the big three kids aren't a force to be reckoned with. give reason to the forbidden children.

[ruegarding]

the “big three kids fight all the time and have to be separated” is a lie made by big olympus to prevent the big three kids from unionizing

Part of me wants to say Jason would be very concerned about Leo saying that at one point he slept under a bridge for a month. Another part of me remembers that Jason was partially raised by wolves and has probably slept outside a lot. So I can also see him nodding along going “sometimes when I feel anxious I go curl up in a bush”

And then Piper sends them both to therapy
