Children of Dionysus laugh hysterically. Head thrown back and eyes watering. Once they start, it's hard for anyone to not share their euphoria.
Children of Aphrodite laugh like a loved one. They sound like your first love, laughing at the table next to yours.
Children of Hephaestus laugh with their bodies. Shoulders shaking and hands clapping together or hitting their thigh.
Children of Zeus laugh loudly. When they burst into laughter it can be startling, but it quickly becomes pleasant, like a summer thunderstorm.
Children of Athena laugh quietly. It's more of a chuckle, often hidden behind their hand. But even so, you can see their eyes sparkling.
Children of Apollo laugh like they're singing. Eyes closed and mouth open. People usually quiet down around them, because it often is the most beautiful sound they've ever heard.
Children of Hades laugh in deep tunes. And sometimes you can hear the dead sharing their joy.
I think the best part about pjo is that percy thinks he's just some guy while the whole camp is going holy shit that's THE percy jackson like
Camper 1: I heard he beat Ares in a fight
Camper 2: No way
Annabeth (who happened to overhear): It happened when we were 12 btw
So ofc you have these campers who look at Percy like he's a god cause of things he did but then at the same time there's also completely ridiculous things like
Camper 1: Why is his food blue
Camper 2: I heard that it has a secret ingredient that makes him more powerful than the gods
And Percy is just always confused why younger campers take a while to warm up to him and he's just like maybe I'm too mean :(
So I’m back about Rachel and Percy being bffs. So Rachel’s dad is famous right? She posts pictures of Percy on her Instagram and people are just like
Person1: Wasn’t that the dude who was a terrorist at like 12??
Person2: This dude also destroyed our school gym
Person3: wtf is he doing with a multi-millionaires daughter
So obviously the internet has crazy conspiracy theories about this like
Person1: Is she joining his cult -
Person2: Maybe she’s becoming an environment terrorist
Person3: Percy Jackson? Environment terrorist pls
But the thing is Percy Jackson is a huge environmentalist because Grover and Rachel right so the internet loses their shit
Person2: I told you environment terrorist-
Person3: My life is a lie
And obviously you have the people concerned for Rachel’s safety cause she’s hanging out with a delinquent and they’re like
Headline: Heir of Dare enterprises being manipulated by terrorist
And obviously Rachel’s pissed about it so you know what she’s going to do? She kisses Percy with no warning during some school assembly and people take photos and everyone’s like they’re dating?? (spoiler alert: they’re not but they pretend they are cause it’s easier)
Person1: Did you see how Rachel kissed Percy? Manipulated my ass
Person2: I’m more concerned with the fact that Percy Jackson, the terrorist is blushing
So this starts conspiracy theories that say that Rachel’s an underground cia agent who’s trying to bring in the terrorist organisation Percy’s head of and Percy is just like
Percy: I hate you
Rachel: You knew what you signed up for
Basically Percy and Rachel being bffs and clowning the world y’all
Band!Whump
Whumper's an obsessed fan of Whumpee that refuses to stop harassing/following them from gig to gig. This causes Whumpee to be terrified of performing live.
Whumpee getting hit with an object from the audience and getting pretty hurt. Caretaker doesn't even hesitate to throw a set piece RIGHT back at the assailant.
Singer!Whumpee that loses their voice and needs to be monitored/cared for by the band to make sure they don't push themselves too far.
A Whumpee that's super anxious about a show and just can't stop crying backstage about how they can't do it, don't make them do it. Too bad Manager!Whumper doesn't care.
Whumpee playing at a local basement gig and getting too intoxicated/drugged by Whumper. Does the band notice and get them out of there in time?
A Whumpee that can't play their instrument for an important performance due to injury. They're frustrated and feel like a complete burden to the rest of the band.
Feel free to add more!
if i were able i would have written the socioeconomic political drama about the new rome and the hell it would take to actually rule it and the twelfth legion. like. child army and a CITY.
i would write it all solely for one scene, where reyna and jason, no longer praetors, are reclining on the sofas drinking hot chocolate and gleefully watching octavian, now appointed praetor, burn himself out trying to control this mess. his partner is lickspittle he took up only because they didn't pose any threat to him.
sure he has some family ties but did he know how much it took to terrify half of the cohorts into obedience and how much it took to persuade the other half? did he? noooo, he genuinely thought that being a praetor would mean that he can shirk his duty and just get to boss people around.
now he's running himself dry to make the third cohort stop partying and spending too much, ban the fourth cohort from experimenting without reading even a basic training on safety, and trying to make the first cohort actually do something about the second constantly blowing up parts of the camp and the city.
jason and reyna? unbothered. moisturised. happy. in their lane. focused. flourishing. gloating shamelessly.
octavian? near a nervous breakdown.
sometimes i wonder what exactly the zhang family business is... the only information about it (as far as i know) is that it's an "import/export business" but it's never specified what exactly they are importing and exporting. food? clothing? firearms? the idea of frank's family being this giant shady criminal company while he himself has no idea about it is kind of hilarious.
I think if you asked Percy what his favorite animal is he’d be like ‘oh! definitely my buddy jeff! :)’ and then pull out his phone and show you a selfie of him in the fucking midnight zone smiling next to the most terrifying and fucked up deep sea creature that scientists literally haven’t discovered yet
