bro so im reading son of neptune right?? and like percy is SO LOYAL??? like miss reyna over here is like "yo want this job? oh and fyi the people that have his job usually end up romantically involved." and percy's like "errmmmm ive got a girlfriend☝️🤓" AND DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER HER??? LIKE BRO IS OUT HERE RAISING MY STANDARDS TO THE NEXT GALAXY
I think cavetown songs, at least some of them are so Percy Jackson coded, like devil town? Like " I forgot my name again I think that's something worth remembering" you can not tell me that's not either Percy or Jason ( or both) trying to get their memories back "spiders in your favourite shoes just leave them because I'm scared of you" Annabeth and it could be with both Arachne or her mother. " Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too " Percy and Annabeth Falling into tartarus. Actually that whole verse give major percabeth in Tartarus vibes "I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times, hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night, I still get a little scared of something new, but I feel a little safer when I'm with you" it can also be applied to Nico and will
"hold my hand tight we'll make it an other night?" Could be Nico, Reyna and coach Hegde.
"You said something dumb again, she's mad, at least that's what they say" Athena and Annabeth. "Mum and daddy aren't in love, that's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays" demigods
I fell like devil town has plenty of other verses that can be applied to pjo. And also other cavetown songs but, this one in specific, devil town, I just remembers me of pjo and HoO so much
I just know same face syndrome hates to see you coming
the 7 + nico and reyna face studies!

That's all I have for now, let me know if there's more characters I should add!
at some point in trials of apollo its mentioned that Reyna drives her truck to get some space with her dogs. idk maybe i made that up but i swear that happened.
Weird how the non canon ships in Rick Riordan's books tend to have a better and more interesting history together, better chemistry, healthier dynamics,and feel more natural than the canon couples; plus a lot of wasted potential. Examples are Reyna x Jason, Nico x Percy, Rachel x Percy, Leo x Piper, Jason x Nico or Jason x Leo.
It's like the more Rick wants you to ship something,the more it feels forced and has red flags that are kinda hard to ignore. The only exception being Hazel and Frank
Calypso becoming a hunter would make way more sense than Reyna doing so
She was basically doomed to fall in love with any strange man who appeared on the island
She had to choose between losing everything she loved in order to escape her punishment.
What Calypso needs is a sense of family and connection, something the huntresses provide.
She can give up being a hunter at any time
She could get to know new places and different things as a hunter.
Reyna becoming a hunter feels very shallow on Rick's part
Maybe I’m just too late to realize, but Jason Grace (PJO) and Adora (She-Ra) are actually really alike. They have similar backstories, personality traits and goals! Maybe someone have already written this, and done an analysis on them, but here is mine!!!!
Jason and Adora:
Both of them are blonde individuals who were taken in and raised in the military since they were small, are their mother figure’s (Hera, Shadow Weaver) favorite child, and are purely seen by their leadership skills. At the beginning of the story, both of them were kidnapped by the “enemy” (who they learn are actually good guys) and joined forces with them to save the world from evil (at one point or another in the story, both of them were forced to fight their previous allies - fighting Romans/soldiers from Camp Jupiter, The Horde).
There are a lot of expectations and pressure on them, since both of them are seen as “important” and “dutiful” people by their position in society (Jason being Jupiter’s son, and Adora being She-Ra). They’re constantly trying their best to not let their friends down, constantly trying to act and be like how everyone wants them to be (a warrior/hero/leader/etc.), and has intentionally tried to sacrifice themselves, but to no avail (both of them were stopped by a brown-haired “friend” of theirs - Leo, Catra).
Both of them are also connected to magical horses, each have a magical weapon, and each have a childhood friend that was seen for a while as the “enemy” by their allies (Reyna and Catra). As well as, both of them likes to have a sense of purpose, has felt out of place with their new allies, has a hero complex, and feels like they alone are responsible for the well-being of others (Jason, due to the promise to look after the lesser gods, and Adora, due to the abuse of Shadow Weaver).
I didn’t mean to write this much, but it’s insane how similar they actually are!
Should I add something???
A new addition to the Olympics AU:
It’s Reyna!! (And bonus Hylla!)
(I did double check - when it comes to the Olympics, Puerto Rico is considered independent from the US and is allowed to compete on its own.)
Leo, acting as Juliet and very drunk: Jason, Jason, wherefore art thou Jason?! Jason, not drunk but very confused: I'm right here..? Leo, suddenly crying tears of joy: JASON!!!!! =D Jason: ????? Everyone else, watching this shit go down: *hey do you have popcorn* *but 'wherefore' means 'why', not 'where'* *no offence, Margaret, but they're drunk, stupid and confused, I don't think this is the time for a grammar lesson* *oo yea gimme some skittles* *tasTE THE RAINBOW MOTEHRFUCKERS*
Crack head cannon
Imagine if at both Camps everyone thinks Reyna and Hylla hate eachother due to them bickering alot and fighting alot.
Instead, what if they're just acting like normal siblings, fighting eachother and annoying eachother, but no one else has full siblings so everyone just acts as friends.
So those two could be arguing and insulting eachother, but if anyone else tries to be rude to them they will get murdered n shit.
Also, Hylla would be the only one able to get Reyna to rest and go Medical, and is the only person Rey lets hug her.
More importantly, the Amazons could visit Camp Jupiter, and a few hours the campers panic bc Reyna and Hylla are in a room together alone, having run off at the start. And the campers find them just hanging out and laughing, which Reyna rarely does, confusing everyone.
I can imagine Reyna working herself to death, like not eating and sleeping properly.
I also believe that if many legionares are too injured to fight, she would fight alone in a different way(like the pirates or something else she picked up)
Imagine if there was a tip to both camps that a massive army if monsters were going to attack Camp Half-blood, so most Romans go to help, leaving Reyna as the only defence( ik they wouldn't but Imagine)
Instead, imagine the army of monsters stormed Camp Jupiter, and Reyna having to hold them off until the legion returns, using magic from Circe's Island and fighting like the pirates.
The legion only returning at the end of the fight in time to see Reyna, broken and bleeding but victorious, having destroyed most of the army and passing out due to injury.
Reyna would then sleep for days, weeks even. Much longer than needed to heal from the fight due to lack of sleep and food. The whole legion in panic that Reyna may not wake up when she's just catching up on missing sleep.
Her just waking up like 3 weeks later confused as everyone is celebrating, not realising how long it's been
Slight au
Since Circe was a sorceress and could do magic & shit, and Reyna was at Circe's Island aswell, Reynard could've technically learnt magic there.
What if Reyna had learnt magic with Circe, but it was just very hard to control and very dangerous, so she can only do it with Hylla ( who was older at the time and so had better control of the magic)
Imagine Hylla visiting Camp Jupiter and forcing Reyna to use the magic she hasn't used in years, slowly building up in power .
Imagine Reyna just being tired of Legionarres and turning them into animals by accident, or when everyone is shouting in a senate meeting - silencing everyone without realising.
In cannon Reyna has never been anyone's first choice.
Jason was her fellow Praetor and friend, but he left her for new friends and a partner who he had fake memories with.
Percy then became Praetor and began helping Reyna only for the Argo2 to show up and him to immediately leave.
Hell, she wasn't even her sister's first choice as Hylla left her to join the amazons.
So, if she ever had a partner I feel that she would be shocked at the amount of care she would get, and she would be confused bc no one's cared for her before, and she would just adore being cared for.
I say therefore Reyna isn't cold hearted but has a bleeding heart, but is used to everyone leaving so she hides it.
Everyone always says stuff like "oh Jason was touch starved" or "Nico's touch starved" but I give u this take:
Reyna is touch starved.
She's the leader of a Roman camp, so she probably isn't overly close to anyone and she probably has no one she trusted enough to help her.
So Reyna probably refuses to let people hug her or touch her because she's scared of getting hurt, and the only person she trusts is her sister Hylla, and then it grew to include Nico because you know trauma bonding and all that
Even if she learns to trust people the only 2 persons she'll allow herself to fall asleep around are Hylla and Nico because she trusts them to protect her.
And she's definitely a clingy sleeper, so if she falls asleep around either of them, or either of them are there, she would cuddle them because she felt safe.
If she's sick she would definitely refuse to get help and just keep working herself to death until her sister came and just. Kinda. Pulled her into a hug, and Rey would just melt against her because she's her sister and shit, and all the legionaires would be shocked as Reyna doesn't like people hugging her.
I always see people talking about Reyna as if she's very put together and organised, like has a great sleep schedule and everything
I love that, but what if instead she's just a mess if a human being.
I headcannon Reyna as a workaholic who just never sleeps.ever. unless she just passes out from exhaustion. I think she gets so busy working that she misses most meals and never has time to do anything.
Also I definitely headcannon her as a lot younger, like more closer to Nico's age, so around 14 or 15 and like no one remembers
Give me a Reyna who hasn't slept or are in days who does most of the praetor work as Frank is struggling to learn how to do it.
Give me Reyna who no one realises she just doesn't sleep or is always working, who only keeps working so not to disappoint anyone because she's younger than the others.
Give me Reyna who really just needs a hug and some rest but never takes breaks.
Just imagine a scenario where after a long month of meetings and paperwork, of only getting 1hour sleep a night if that, where when getting up from her seat Reyna , absolutely exhausted, ends up passing out. All of the legion panics because Reyna is very strong and is always fine so when she wakes up after being asleep for a few days everyone is worried. Like every time she goes to get something it's grabbed for her. Or when she needs to go somewhere people go with her and fret over her to make sure she's alright. And because she's stubborn and not used to help she pushes it away.
Give me a Reyna who hides injuries plz, refused to go medical ever.
Also if her sister's there, she will hug her and she will fall asleep in her arms. Why? Because Hylla is safe to her.
please say your thoughts about camp jupiter and specifically any like any headcanons or ideas you have about nr, the characters, their relationships and backgrounds, literally anything!!! i am a fellow cj enthusiast and would absolutely LOVE to hear your thoughts on it <3
-@brooklyn-house
okay okay I didn't answer this for WEEKS I'm super sorry my head was so empty and I got hyper fixated in another fandom, so I didn't want to deliver half assed answers, but I'm back!! recharged lol
• new rome/camp jupiter probably has a million secret entrances to different places, that probably only reyna knows of.
• octavian was actually friends with jason and Reyna when they were little kids but he grew to be evil and they became frenemies.
• jason and reyna spent basically all their time tgt going to different historical locations, if jason was assigned a quest he'd be like ‘can reyna go with me please?’ because they'd use it as an excuse to tour places and talk about history.
• jason definitely had other best or atleast close friends in cj or nr in general, apart from reyna. and I feel like that person knows him too well (maybe even more than reyna does) and after his death they cried their heart out, and nobody knows that they were close friends. this friend/friends have so many letters and things jason wrote to them.
• baby jason and reyna would love to try on the armours that were put on the statues in cj and would run around with it. they were definitely rebel kids.
I’m never going to write this but I am so very intrigued by the concept of platonic!Jeyna in Tartarus and thought you guys might appreciate so:
-No idea what exactly the context here is but Reyna ends up following the Seven across the ocean a bit sooner than she does in canon and helps out during the end of MoA and she’s the one who ends up dangling over Tartarus
-And yes it absolutely has to be Jason coming to Reyna’s aid for the fall. Because it’s already established she’d do anything for him. She crossed an ocean for him in canon. But Jason’s whole thing since this all started has been that he chose Leo and Piper over Reyna/CHB over Camp Jupiter (or at least it felt that way to her). Their shared home isn’t his priority anymore. She isn’t his priority. She hasn’t been since he disappeared. She’s not expecting him to come to her aid.
-When she orders him to drop her, she expects him to listen like the proper Roman soldier that he should be. And then he doesn’t.
-There’s something very intriguing to me about the concept of “your only way to survive this situation is to trust a person with your life who you’re aware you’ve loved forever but who you don’t really know anymore”
-All his trust in her is muscle memory and all her trust in him is linked to a version of him that no longer exists. Least convenient place to get to know each other again!
Not super many thoughts on scenes but I do have two in mind:
1) at one point Reyna moves during a fight to cover Jason in a way that would have worked with CJ Jason but doesn’t with this one because his fighting style is more a mix of Greek and Roman now and one of them ends up hurt because of it
2) Jason is the one dealing with Akhlys and it startles Reyna really badly because she knows Jason goes off when necessary but seeing him so fiercely protective of her specifically in a way where he’s lost control entirely is both terrifying and pulling her right back to the moment when she killed her dad to protect Hylla. Potentially the thing that stops him is Reyna also losing control of her powers and having her terror bleed over into him.
Reyna: Has anyone told you you're a little creepy?
Nico (hurt): No they haven't
Reyna: Good, I wasn't in the mood to kill anyone anyways
Nico: Hold that thought-
Octavian: Tomorrow is garbage day
Reyna: I can't believe they have a whole day dedicated to you
Annabeth: I love how we say "oh man" to express disappointed
Reyna: Because men are, in fact disappointing
Reyna: Who's in charge here in camp halfblood?
Percy: ..............
Piper: ...........
Nico: Well, that's usually the one who yells the loudest
Reyna: You're mom seems cool
Percy: She killed her abusive husband with Medusa's head and sold the statue for a lot of money
Reyna: ..........
Reyna: You're mom is the only goddess I'll ever swear loyalty to
Piper woke up, her limbs tired, her eyes itching, she didn’t remember how she got home, the last thing on her mind was studying in the library, a horrible migraine during a horrible day, thankfully, today was better, just her body sore.
The door opened, soft steps around the room, the curtain moving, a crack of sunlight entering the place.
“Morning babe, how was your sleep?”
Reyna was at the window, her hair loose, long, falling at her back, a towel around her neck, barefoot, she was brushing her hair.
“Let me.”
Piper sat on the bed, stretching her arms, holding the brush on the nightstand, brushing Reyna’s hair, kissing her neck, quickly, smiling at the blushing of her girlfriend.
“Are you fine?”
Annabeth entered the room, holding a tray, scramble eggs, waffles, a cup of chocolate and a glass with a flower on it, leaving the breakfast on the bed, she climbed on and kissed Piper, a chaste kiss on her lips, other kiss on her nose and one on Reyna’s cheek.
“Yep, better than yesterday,” answered Piper, putting the tray on her legs, cutting a bit of a waffle “but, how did I get here?”
“Leo found you knocked out on the library, we brought you home, made you take a bubble bath and put on pajamas.”
Piper smiled, feeling cozy, looking at her girlfriends.
“I love you, both of you.”
@pjofemslashweek
Annabeth remembered how out of place she felt at school, when the girls talked about their mothers, how all his cousins had mothers, when, in the school family day, she used to be alone, because his father was working.
As a kid, she always dreamed about a family, having a loving mother, someone who will brush her hair, cook the breakfast, take her to school, play with her, help with the homework, Frederick Chase was an busy man, he didn’t have enough time to take good care of a little girl.
Growing, Annabeth’s dreams changed, he stopped dreaming about loving parents, now she was picturing herself as a mother, having kids, raising them, being the mother she always wanted to have, she dreamed about a husband too, a faceless man, loving and caring.
During the college, she dated a lot of boys, but nobody wanted to plan the relation so far, thinking about marriage and kids, Annabeth stopped bringing the topic, smiling and never asking for a stronger compromise, the dream bury on her mind.
In her final years at college, moving with a roommate, a girl named Reyna, she started to think about it again.
Reyna was sweet, waking soon to make breakfast, always asking about Annabeth’s day, dragging the girl to her bed when she fell sleep on her desk, Reyna was so loving and caring, slowly, the faceless man morphed into a girl, someone like Reyna.
“Would you like to have kids?” asked Reyna once, both of them looking at the window, eating ice cream, a summer storm breaking the sky.
“I like the idea of a house with white fences, two or three kids, a dog.”
“Lovely,” Reyna looked at the sky, her eyes wandering on the landscape “I’d be nice to have a family, raise a kid, knowing you will have someone waiting for you, having a home.”
“When I was little, I thought I would marry a man, but know, I only picture a girl, two kids, a big dog, a house I designed, big backyard, something pretty”
“All the things you design are pretty”
Annabeth blushed, avoiding Reyna’s eyes, they stayed in silence, looking at the storm.
They graduate and part ways, in the months before they departure the topic never come up again, Annabeth dated girls and boys, some relations more serious than others, and they idea of Reyna being her lifelong partner faded away.
Years later, more than a decade, they met again, the group of friends they were in college reunited, Annabeth was married with a pretty girl, and they adopted a little boy, she had the house and the dog, big backyard and a room for another kid, her wife was all she wanted and more.
“You know,” she told Reyna when she was leaving “I dreamed about us together.”
“Yeah, me too.”

Where Reyna works in a coffe shop, and meets Thalia.
It was a hot day of summer, Reyna was sweating, standing in the cashier, fanning herself, looking at the empty café, the little place was hot, only a little window, small and impossible to open, the AC was broken, and won’t work for another week.
Thankfully, the day was to hot to go out, no dealing with rude clients.
The door opened, Reyna smiled, seeing her best friend walking in, Jason waved at her place, coming closer to the cashier.
“How’s it going?”
“Hot as hell, but no costumers.” Reyna sighed, looking at the empty tips jar.
“Same as always, for Piper and Leo too, they are in Leo the repair shop.”
“Lucky them,” muttered Reyna “Their AC is working.”
“I could bring some fans; Leo could build a small one.”
Reyna waved her hand, resting importance to the matter, making the beverage for her friends.
The door opened again, a bunch of girls walked in, loudly, the sat on the tables, one of them walking towards the cashier, all of them wore a leather jacket, Reyna catch the back of one of them, a half moon, with an arrow and a bow, were printed on it, the Huntress of Artemis, a gang of girls whom rode the country in motorcycles.
“Hey, Baby boy, could you move? I want to see the menu.”
The girl taking was tall, with short spiky black hair, a lot of piercings on her face, no make-up, something in her face looked familiar.
“I’m not a baby, Thalia.”
Reyna raised her eyebrows, dropping her eyelids, sending an accusing glare at Jason.
“I hope he’s not bothering you, I’m his sister, Thalia.”
“Don’t worry, he is a good guy, I’m Reyna.”
“I know, he loves to talk about you.”
One of the girls yelled, asking Thalia to stop flirting, Reyna blushed, finishing the order of Jason, ignoring the smile of Jason, full of mockery.
“I’m not flirting.” Thalia yelled back “But if you’re free this afternoon I could do it.” She added, winking at Reyna.
“She is free at six,” said Jason, while taking his order and going out.
“Do you want to go out on a date?” asked Thalia.
“If you’re not busy…”
“For a pretty girl, never”
@pjofemslashweek
Superhero! Au, the lost trio is a team.
Jason, Piper, and Leo have powers, they were trained by the Gaia, a group who searches for kids with powers to train them and cause chaos.
They are the youngest, kidnapped when they had two years, the Olympians save them when they have sixteen, Hylla adopt the trio, and they share a lot of time with Reyna, Thalia is part of the Olympians, but she is a Hunter, and she cannot take care of Jason.
Fast forward, Reyna wants to study in college, the trio wants to follow her, they go.
Nico is the neighbor, Reyna's best friend, and he is nice to them, he is kind and they love him.
But Gaia is still around, and start to destroy places and cause chaos, the trio decides to be superheroes.
Leo, a technopath, is Tech, Piper is a telepath and can order you things, she's Whisper, Jason controls the weather, he's Thunderman.
After an impressive fight, all the people in the city know about the new heroes.
A week after, Nico is walking home, and a burglar threatens him, Thunderman appears and saves him.
Nico, a big nerd, comic fan, runs to the trio place and is nuts, Piper and Leo are like "Cool" but Jason is blushing because Nico is exaggerating, he didn't appear in a cloud of thunder, his voice didn't shake the windows.
And Nico is a magnet for trouble, in less than twelve hours he is held hostage of a bunch of people trying to steal something in the museum.
Jason is like "I saved you last night" and Nico is vibing because the superhero remembers his face.
And this happens a lot, Nico is in a cafe, this place is going to explode, Nico is having fun in a park, a big battle with the bad guys, and the trio saves him.
Two or three months after the first meeting with the heroes, Nico is taking a bus, the bridge they are passing is going to fall, Nico's ankle is twisted, Jason takes him, bride style, and they are flying away.
"You know, the next time met we can have a coffee, and avoid mortal danger."
Jason is in shock, this boy is asking him on a date?
Because the trio loves him, he's caring, and take them out, knowing their interests, and maybe Leo and Jason are a little bit in the romantic territory.
Nico takes Leo to natural places, they go to zoos, parks, hiking with Reyna, and Leo loves to be away from electronics, his mind is at peace, and Nico taking his hand while they are walking, stopping to take photos, looking so pretty at the sunlight, Leo is living just to be the weekend and go out.
And Jason loves to learn, they go to libraries and bookstores, natural and history museums, or they just walk in the city to discover new places, Jason is head over heels for this boy, smiling every time Nico is talking, paying attention to every word.
To be honest, Piper loves him too, but more platonic, she loves art, and Nico knows it, they go to art museums, galleries, concerts, the cinema, they got lost in the subway and the streets to see musicians and people performing, and go to a lot of restaurants, they know the best places to eat.
So, when Jason talk to his friends about Nico's date, Leo is a little jealous, and he searches for the boy and ask him out as Tech.
And Nico can't say no.
But the boys asking him out as civilians too.
"Reyna, four hot boys are hitting on me, How can I choose, I have to choose?"
Piper is living it up, her friends are a gay mess and she loves the drama, Reyna wants to tell the truth, but she is enjoying it.
Nico finds out his neighbors are the superheroes, he's mad because he fell they were playing with him, asking him with both identities.
Leo and Jason are feeling super bad, the hurt Nico, and he isn't talking to them, but they manage to win his forgiveness.
Long story short, the overcome the bad guys, Nico is dating both of them, Piper and Reyna are dating too, everyone is happy, the end.
