✨✨ A Pick Up Line To Use On A Percy Jackson Fan: ✨✨

drew has great difficulty saying i love you to anyone. she cant remember the last time she’s said it without dripping sarcasm.

but leo manages to say it so easily - it rolls off his tongue like warm honey. it’s sweet and genuine and it makes drew melt (not that she’d ever show him).

one day they’re hanging out in leo’s cabin alone and drew sucks up her pride and tries her best to tell him- *i love you* because she *does* and she needs him to know. *i love you. thank you for loving me. i love you. i love you.*

“…leo.”

“yeah?” leo turns to her from his place sitting on the floor with all of his mechanical magazines spread all around him. he’s all smiley and happy to hear his name on her voice and drew wants to cry.

she tries. *i love you. i love you.* she opens her mouth but the words get choked up in her throat like a bunch of thorns. she snaps her mouth shut in embarrassment and frowns and grips his bedsheets - she doesn’t understand *how* he’s able to just. say it.

leo stares at her, still smiley and oblivious, patiently waiting for what she has to say.

drew just shakes her head with a huff and slides off the bunk and wraps her arms around his neck, hiding her face flush red with embarrassment. leo lets out a little yelp of surprise, but doesn’t hesitate to reciprocate.

“tell me you love me.” she asks, uncharacteristically quietly.

leo holds her by her waist and presses an innocent kiss to her temple. “i love you.” and it’s the truth, as easily as someone can say one - leo loves her, loves her, loves her, and it makes drew’s heart swell.

“are you okay, though?” leo pulls away and places his hands on her shoulders to look at her.

“m’ okay,” drew swiftly responds, placing her hands over his. his hands are course and rough from all the handiwork he does, and drew lightly runs her fingers over the cracked, dry skin and the small indented scars. his hands ground her - she’d love to hold those warm, worn hands in hers forever, she realizes.

“are you sure? that was kinda sudden,” leo gently pushes. he gingerly moves his hands to cup her face, and drew sighs fondly and closes her eyes.

“i’m sure.”

leo kisses her nose and holds her figure to his chest.

“i love you, drew.” he repeats.

drew hugs him tighter. i love you, too.

Drew wasn’t in ToA because if she was she’d have looked at everyone punching Leo and been like “Hmmmmm… the last time someone lied and died for you all, you lauded her as a hero, but when he does it he gets……….. this? Interesting.” with the most casually withering stare and everyone would be like uhh, I left my toaster on, goodbye

I could definitely see someone accidentally calling Drew “Drew Katana” because they all have dyslexia and katana and Tanaka have the same letters and every once in a while when she brings out a really vicious insult, people will say “the katana strikes again” or something

Helping Hades with Persephone

Zeus: Dude I’ll help you out, I’ve done this hundreds of times

Hera: Don’t listen to him, he’s never had a stable relationship in his entire life

I head canon that Drew's dad is a member (or even some sort of leader) of the Japanese Yakuza. Not just because she gives off that vibe but also because you can't tell me that Aphrodite hasn't hooked up with some hot af criminal (a.k.a the ultimate bad boy that she likes so much) that resulted with her having their child.

Sometimes I do wonder if atla fandom like the REAL Zuko at all because the nonsense i'm reading about him....... 😭

"He's a prodigy" nope that's AZULA, that's the point of these two characters and he's also the weakest bender of the gaang

"He's friendly, charismatic and charming" that's Aang 😭

"He's the perfect boyfriend" he's possessive and jealous, that's why Mai dumped his ass and she was RIGHT

"He did nothing wrong" i'm not saying anything here lol

"He's the most mature person of the gaang" ??? PEOPLE BE SERIOUS

This character is crazy mischaracterized, like Aang actually 😭

Before the sea of monsters I imagine that for the longest time Grover would tear up whenever he would see Thalia's tree. I imagine him blaming himself over and over again while the memory of her dying replays in his head like a broken record. I imagine him crying all by himself in the woods while continuously asking himself "why couldn't it have been me instead?"

THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING! THANK YOU FOR LAYING IT OUT!!

Hey hey hey, remember how Drew (and Lacy) was mentioned as going to the same school as Sadie in The Serpent's Shadow? So it's like. Implied the two of them are a similar age, especially since they clearly interact plenty, with Sadie knowing her full name and such? I dunno about you, but I never interacted much with kids out of my age range at school, so it's basically implied they're close in age — when Sadie is thirteen (Lacy being said to be a year younger than her).

So, like. What if Drew's. Younger than Piper, actually? By like. A year or so, so she'd be fourteen, rather than the popularly accepted 16/17. I know The Lost Hero tries to say the oldest demigod at the cabin automatically becomes counselor unless challenged by someone who's been on more quests, but Annabeth was counselor at twelve, so I call bullshit and accept the demigod-that's-been-at-camp-the-longest rule as the one automatically takes the role when needed (also, there's nothing saying fourteen wouldn't be the oldest in the cabin post-war, anyways). So Drew could easily not be the oldest in the cabin, and still have to deal with suddenly being head of her family, on top of her older sister being revealed as a traitor, the grief of losing several siblings and friends, and the PTSD that comes with being a soldier.

I just think that'd be very fun for her <3

(And then just. Imagine Piper realizing that maybe she's the oldest, and her younger siblings took part in a war (that was arguably worse than the Giant War Piper was a part of), and maybe that's why Drew's a bit too much of a bitch sometimes, rather than just Girly Girls being automatically evil.)

Random PJO thought: Would a mosquito die if they drink a demigods blood? Since Like- you know, they're half divine OR would they become ✨Super Mosquitoes✨
