it’s sad there is not more “Good Uncle Zeus,” fanfictions out there.
Like, Zeus just being tired and growing more gray hairs by the minute because his nephew refuses to accept god-hood and just makes more of a mess by angering gods and becoming way to powerful.
He’s just so tired, “Poseidon, brother, I do not beg, nor do I lower myself like this, but this is a one time exception that you shall never speak of again.” He would start, “if you do not get that child of yours and give him immortality, I am going to go INSANE.”
He would take a deep breath and give Poseidon the nastiest look, one that you would give your sibling who annoys you to no end, “I’m so close to plucking that spawn up and throwing him to Hades.”
He would have literal gray hairs, as if Percy had just aged him by existing. Percy (if he knew) would find the whole thing hilarious and refuse immortality just to piss Zeus off.
He would give Poseidon a fake smile and disappear moments later, leaving Poseidon reeling from the interaction, wondering if that had just happened or if he was going insane.

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that underwater ecosystems have pollinators that perform the same task as bees on land.
Just like their terrestrial cousins, grasses under the sea shed pollen to sexually reproduce. Until now, biologists assumed the marine plants relied on water alone to spread their genes far and wide. But the discovery of pollen-carrying ‘bees of the sea’ has changed all of that.
Over several years from 2009 to 2012, researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico filmed the spring nocturnal wanderings of crustaceans among beds of turtle seagrass, Thalassia testudinum.
Looking through the videos, they spotted more invertebrates visiting male pollen-bearing flowers than those that lacked pollen – just like bees hovering around pollen-producing plants on land.
“We saw all of these animals coming in, and then we saw some of them carrying pollen,” lead researcher Brigitta van Tussenbroek told New Scientist.
The concept was so new, they invented a new term to describe it: zoobenthophilous pollination. Before that, researchers had never predicted that animals were involved in pollinating marine plants.
