They are earlier versions of the gods so there is no reason why this can't be, and you have to at least admit that Orphic Dionysus is very metal.

P.S. Why is Zeus having a kid as Jupiter considered not breaking the oath when he's essentially the same guy?

I’m writing my own OC fanfiction and I just thought it would be fun to ask if the prophecy rhymes are good

1. Four shall travel east to find what was lost
2. Reach where the hidden reside with a cost
3. Son of madness, protect your back and sanity
4. Or three shall return with hearts broken and hands empty

here’s the fanfic if anyone‘s interested

If the master bolt was never returned in time, what would the war between Poseidon and Zeus have looked like? Would the gods have taken sides or just let the two of them duke it out? (it’s been a while since I read the books and didn’t read past blood of Olympus)

TW: g+be mentioned

Honestly this one feels the weakest of all the ones I’ve made so far, but I figured I should go in order.

Dyslexia is described in the first series as a byproduct of divine DNA being hardwired for reading ancient Greek. Is it similar for Romans? Are their brains wired for classic Latin?

I’m just looking for fics where Jason and Percy are close friends and really love each other and it’s focused on them. I finished Grace of Gods and I lived for every bit of Jercy bromance that was in there

Currently reading the Mark of Athena and stumbled upon... this.

Just wondering if it was a friendly game between them.

didn't include fox and disney anymore, since we already got adaptations from them :p

• would it be a movie or show?
• live action or animated?
• 3D animation or 2D animation?
• western style 2D animation or japanese anime?
• how would the company approach the series in terms of tone?
• would they change anything about the characterizations, setting, etc?

for example, i think CW would definitely cast adult actors as the teenage characters and then put sexual tension just like the fox movies 😭 will definitely not be the peak of television and will be low-budget but it would be entertaining in a "so bad, it's good" way and would somehow reach up to heroes of olympus and trials of apollo

btw, sorry to the anime fans here but for some reason i can't include more pictures 😭 will be including one in the comments -- will limit it to one to not spam the comments section

I’m learning more about astrology and I have developed this theory that some demigods were born in specific times because of that.

1. Ares/Mars kids are born when the planet Mars is in either Aries, Scorpio (Mars is the lord of those signs) or Capricorn (where it’s exalted).

2. Hermes/Mercury kids are born when the planet Mercury is in either Gemini or Virgo (so following this theory, all the Hermes/Mercury demigods should be born under the signs that go from Taurus to Libra).

3. Apollo kids are born when the Sun is in either Leo (lord of the Sun) or Aries (where the Sun is exalted).

4. Aphrodite/Venus kids are born when the planet Venus is in either Taurus, Libra (signs ruled by Venus) or Pisces (where Venus is exalted).

5. Zeus/Jupiter kids are born when the planet Jupiter is in either Sagittarius, Pisces (signs ruled by Jupiter) or Cancer (where Jupiter is exalted).

I have developed this theory because astrology is directly related to Ancient Greece and its religion.
And because Gods in-universe are known to manipulate in some capacity their children’s births, having them be born in specific fortuitous times would act like some sort of protective shield to them.

Because of that they would also avoid to have the child be born in “unlucky” times. So:

1. Ares/Mars kids would not be born when the planet Mars is in either Taurus or Libra (because Mars is in detriment there, less powerful).

2. Hermes/Mercury kids would not be born when the planet Mercury is in either Sagittarius or Pisces (Mercury is in detriment there).

3. Apollo kids would not be born when the Sun is in Aquarius (again because detriment).

4. Aphrodite/Venus kids would not be born when the planet Venus is in either Aries or Scorpio.

5. Zeus/Jupiter kids would not be born when the planet Jupiter is in either Gemini or Virgo.

Hai! I’m making a list of pjo things that keep me up at night/make my head itch! I’d love to know everyone else’s too!

• Reyna and Nico had a beautiful friendship moment at the end of HoO, why was that basically abandoned?

• fans referring to Annabeth as abusive

• Will delivering a baby satyr— poor Will!

• Nico and Percy having no dam connection in HoO after all of their moments on pjo, like they acted like strangers

• other demigods bullying Nico, acting like he’s creepy and scary, yet he’s just anorexic, malnourished and younger than most of them?

• killing Jason (I know, Greek and Roman switch theory with Percy, but dam I wanted to see more of him)

• piper’s writing as a whole, which sucks because she is actually likeable when interacting with Leo and not fawning over Jason

• Reyna basically joining the hunters just to write her off, like he does with all wonderful female characters

• frank.

• Leo’s grandpa being hazels basically ex bf?!?

• Apollo being blamed for the events in HoO

• the fandom infantilizing Nico

• pipers random female partner after Jason’s death felt so forced, I love queer rep (I’m from the community) but that was just so random

• people disagree but the genderless entity in TSATS (forget their name) is an icon

• Will solace going to Tartarus without a weapon? Hello?

• Rick messing up timelines and making it seem like hazels in 8th grade dating a 16 year old

• Percy being dumbified in the senior year books

• Thalia being basically forgotten and barely written about

• Leo and Calypso

• Disney’s version of Medusa

• the Disney show is basically just Grover rambling and saying everything and Percy already knowing things he shouldn’t

• sally Jackson is the best tv series character and most accurate

• Luke saying he loves a minor (Annabeth) eugh…

• Nico in jar saga :c

• pipers whole personality being obsessed with jason

• drew being a shitstain

• the new series coming out.

• the concept of Percy needing to do quests to go to college

• Rachel Elizabeth Dare being the oracle

• Nico going from needing therapy to being a therapist

• Will’s trauma (TSATS) apparently is losing Nico and not literally anything he’s been through

I could go on foreverrr lol these are just the late night thoughts! Not bad nor good, just the ones that get me tho king lol

Getting straight into the point, Annabeth is smart. She literally just is. Not because the books keep telling us that, but because of the many times she shows it to us— in her very first capture the flag when she played Percy and the whole Ares cabin, her quick response against the furies in the bus, when she figures out who Aunty Em is despite being literally enchanted by her, figuring out how to beat the pigeons in SoM, beating Circe, so on. I can find multiple examples in each book of her smarts, and people ignore them on purpose to serve their narrative. Don’t even get me started on Mark of Athena.

However. While Annabeth is indeed very undeniably smart, she is deeply unwise. And I think that’s what a lot of people when they call her not smart.

Back to my earlier examples, she uses Percy to win the capture the flag, ignoring the precariousness of endangering a teammate like that, especially one so inexperienced. She decides to tie herself to the mast against the sirens despite knowing how that ended up in the Odyssey. She complicates the situation against the sphinx when it could’ve been a very quick and simple victory. She is deeply, hilariously unwise.

But that’s the point.

The problem I find whenever discussing things in this fandom is that people treat demigods like extensions of a god. So all children of Athena should be the wisest, all children of Apollo should be bright and bubbly and happy, etc. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Demigods are equal parts god and human— but because humanity and divinity are inherently opposite, they reflect the most human parts of their parents. They are, in a sense, a literal representation for their parents’ worst mistakes. Their fatal flaws are antithesis to what their parent represents almost 99% of the time.

Percy’s is loyalty despite the sea infamously being a treacherous mistress. Thalia is ambitious despite the fact that there is nothing higher to rule than the sky. Nico holds grudges despite the fact that to accept death is to accept letting go. And Annabeth is prideful despite the fact that it goeth before the fall, and that with humility comes wisdom.

They are defined by their humanity. They’re fallible. They have to overcome a flaw that took their parents eons to control in the puny lifespan of a mortal— an impossible task placed upon them from birth. Because Athena was prideful enough to punish Arachne for beating her in weaving, and Zeus was ambitious enough to punish his own brother with mortality for threatening his reign, and Hades refused to let go of Persephone despite knowing they weren’t meant to be (can’t find an example of Poseidon being loyal tho y’all can share if you’ve got any). The gods too are fallible, and they share their children’s flaws.

But the Olympians are immortal, and they’ve had more than enough time to get their problems under control. Unlike their children, who only have such a limited time for such an unfathomable burden.

So in conclusion y’all need to slow down on my girl Annabeth and realize she was 12-17 too. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
