People Talk About How “overpowered” And Freaky Some Of The Physical Feats In PJO And HOO Are But

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!

Percy starts the chalice of the gods with the unwavering certainty that he is majoring in marine biology. It’s the only subject he ever excelled in at school, when he walks into the admissions office the interviewer doesn’t even ask what he wants to do, just checks the box for the courses on marine life and tells Percy that he’ll be amazing. Because he’s the son of Poseidon and how can he not be?

And he’s not even mad, because he loves the ocean and the creatures that come with it, it’s his “domain” it’s the thing that makes him special and it’s given him the life he has now. He has very few things that he loves that he can’t attribute to the sea.

Then suddenly he running around the country, trying to find this stupid chalice for these stupid gods who have clearly never cared for him in the slightest, because he’s two wars deep at this point and apparently “saving incompetent deities from their own mistakes” isn’t a good enough skill to put on a college application.

He’s in the middle of his quest, cursing the sky and wishing - not for the first time - that he was a normal kid, enjoying his last summer before adulthood, when he comes face to face with a young kid.

He’s maybe 7 or 8 and fresh onto the streets having just run away from his parents, he sees things, monsters and creatures that his mother and stepfather just don’t understand. He’s scared shitless, all on his own and he’s pretty sure he’s going insane.

Percy looks at this boy and sees for the hundredth time how the gods seem to ruin everything they touch, from entire countries falling to wars and disease, down to little kids - who are scared and alone in a world that will never understand them.

He tries not to feel guilty when Grover leaves to take the boy to camp, he ignores that it feels like a pig to the slaughterhouse.

Whatever, he’s got a quest to complete. The gods “guidance” brings them to a harbour and Percy has to go diving through the water because he’s the son of Poseidon and what else is he going to do.

The water pressure feels crushing and the fear of drowning is almost unbearable, a school of fish swim up to him.

They call him the son of Poseidon and Percy struggles to feel pride in the title. It’s what monsters call him before they meet the sharp end of a sword. It’s what Gods call him when they want to be condescending. It’s what an admissions officer calls him when she signs him up for a course that he’s not even sure of anymore.

He’s spent the better part of a decade being in his dads shadow, and he feels like it’s time to move into the sunlight.

They make it home in one piece (thank god) and Percy steps back into the admissions office in New Rome.

He thinks about the boy who would probably still be on the streets right now if it weren’t for him. Magnus Chase living a life on the streets with no one to help him. Annabeth leaving her home with nothing but a baseball bat.

He thinks about his dad, who probably hasn’t spared a thought to him in months.

He signs himself up for the social care course, and steps into sunlight.

OBX CHARACTERS: youtube edition!

Haven't seen anyone mentioning this iconic Moon Knight panel yet.

random percy headcanons:

wants to be the photographer friend SO bad and he technically is but like 70% of the pics come out blurry or weird bc there was a monster attack in the middle of them. his instagram is truly so chaotic looking.

literally always has seashells on him someone will ask him for a pencil or spare change and he has to empty all his pockets of shells to find it. drops his backpack and a bunch of shells fall out. kicks his shoes off and sand and shells fly out and his mortal friends are like percy What the Fuck

his eyes glow underwater!! bioluminescent king. no one told him though and he didn't find out until he joined his school's swim team and terrified everyone (he managed to convince them his contacts were having a weird reaction to chlorine lmao)

he really likes art!! he doesn't just pretend to for rachel's sake he genuinely enjoys painting with her. he likes splatter paint, collages and pop art styles the best. one day after splitting some edibles they realized percy could manipulate water colors and went CRAZY with it

will ask to be excused during class and comes back like an hour later with scorch marks all over his face bleeding from one of his ears covered in dust missing three fingernails rips in his jeans and a fat lip and the teacher is like percy what the actual hell were you doing in the bathroom all this time and he's just like uhhhhhh I have ibs

the brand from camp jupiter did unfortunately (for sally) Unlock something in him lmfao he keeps getting shitty little tattoos. usually stick-n-poke but someone's friends cousin's girlfriend's brother has a gun that gets brought to parties every now and then. most of them are sloppy but you can tell what they are HOWEVER he has one that was supposed to be a seal that came out looking like one of those shitty ms paint crying memes. annabeth laughed at him for ten minutes straight when she saw it.

he wanted to dye his hair blue but he was too chicken to bleach his entire head so he just did the tips. his hair is curly though so it looks absolutely ridiculous but he loves it

percy and annabeth get a crusty little yappy white dog in college and he carries it around like a baby lmao

back to his chaotic instagram, he's got so many pics of him like, relaxing at the bottom of the mariana trench or hugging a giant squid or riding on a whale shark and his mortal friends all think he's just really good at photoshop and this is a very specific bit he decided to commit to. they're always like lol percy where do you even FIND these pictures are you subscribed to like scientific journals for the laughs? but no he just took them all on his shell phone

has an ongoing prank war with annabeth's little brothers bobby and matthew but like it's Unhinged. they're playing 5D chess and she has no idea whats going on

weird tshirts!!! he loves them! like

shit like this or those 'women want me fish fear me' shirts, anything with a funny or incomprehensible slogan is going in his closet right along with his band tees lmfao

bought estelle a panda pillow pet when she was born 🥺

can NOT bring himself to eat seafood no matter how many times poseidon has told him its fine. he's like NO these are my FRIENDS JONATHAN WAS TELLING ME ABOUT HIS GRANDDAUGHTERS WEDDING LITERALLY YESTERDAY WHY IS HE ON A PLATTER DAD. they had to give up and just start eating normal land food at the palace every time he comes to visit lmfao

gets into horsegirl antics with hazel she NEEDS to know everything the horses have to say. they spend hours gossiping in the stables.

movie nights in the poseidon cabin were 10000% a thing and when he was missing annabeth and thalia and grover (and a few others) would still sleep in there every now and then and talk about how much they miss him :(

percy and beckendorf had the worlds most elaborate handshake

he DOES impulse buy stuff just because they're ocean-themed. stuffed animals, home decor, school supplies, clothes, you name it he bought it if theres like a fish on it

has more scars from crashing off his skateboard than he does from monster attacks

grover is somehow the only person who's ever noticed percy is severely claustrophobic

has a deep passion for adele. I can't explain this one I just feel and know it to be true.

he and annabeth both proposed to each other at the same time and they were SO mad about it they kept yelling over each other's speeches lmao

he can SING but he doesn't know it. sally keeps trying to record him singing to himself but something always happens to the camera and she loses the evidence

called chiron a brony one time and mr d thought it was so funny he was nice to percy for an entire week

the camp keeps trying to convince him to teach sword fighting lessons to the younger kids but he can NOT bring himself to swing a sword at a 9 year old so he keeps getting injured

has the most complicated iced coffee order in the world his go-to local coffee shop finally just put the damn drink on the menu and named it after him

he IS the quiet kid in the back of your math class that always has his hood up to try and hide his headphones and eats increasingly elaborate meals out of his backpack when the teacher isn't looking. one time someone caught him with a rotisserie chicken in the middle of a geometry final.

he argued that he DID have enough to share with the class

currently obsessed with the image of him knocking back a container of sea salt as if it was a shot and his mortal friends being like hey! what the actual fuck! and he's just like uhhhhh anemia kills!

its his birthday<3

one of the hardest parts about being a demigod that isn't talked about enough is learning how to blend in with mortals. yeah, you look the part. but can you act the part? case in point in cotg when percy reveals he has to consciously swim slower when around mortals. but what about annabeth who has to physically retrain herself from engaging in a fist fight bc she knows she can clock them easily and can't afford to get expelled again. or grover who carries iron pills because he can't just chomp on a soda can during gym class. the implications of demigods actively downplaying their god given abilities so they can remain hidden is a concept worth exploring.

Random goon: Hey boss, were you the one to pick that name as an alias? And why this one?

Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.

Goon: Huh.

***

Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?

Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...

Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.

***

Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...

Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?

Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.

Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

***

And then the goons throw the Red Hood a party on trans visibility day and Jason is so confused he straight up cries.

Geralt getting whacked with a truth spell but instead of Jaskier hearing a confession of love and an outpour of hidden emotions he gets days of a manic Geralt rambling like Brian David Gilbert revealing the most off-kilter unexpected secrets ever, turning his whole worldview upside down with revelations like

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

gotham is exactly the right amounts of wet and socioeconomically unstable to have spawned an INSANE grunge scene you just know their local shit is like the sonic equivalent of getting hit over the head with a car battery
