Pov Thalia When She Comes Back To Consciousness And The Guy Who Was Supposed To Be Her Best Friend Turned

Inspired by this post by @ruegarding

The adults of New Rome are so lucky that Rick didn’t write Percy, Reyna, and Jason in Heroes of Olympus with the same care and effort he previously put into his PJO characterizations, because otherwise the combination of Reyna Avila-My-childhood-got-ruined-because-of-the-effects-war -PTSD-can-have-on-a-person- Ramirez-Arellano, Jason-I-have-been-part-of-the-military-since-my-early-childhood-Grace and Percy-pay-your-child-support- Jackson, would have immediately caused a revolution and shamed every grown ass adult, who hides behind a child army to death.

Thinking of Titans and the idea of "hosts" for my nameless AU

Kronos is obviously a very different case since he was chopped up and sent into Tartarus but I don't think its a stretch for other Titans or Giants to be able to if strong enough and put in a similar situation.

I am currently playing around with an idea of Kronos (and later Gaea specifically with Percy and maybe Leo?) being able to lend people pockets of his power and Kronos using them to influence a person.

Because I've been thinking about it and I don't know if it was outright stated. implied, or just made up and I gaslighted myself into thinking it was canon but I'm pretty sure Luke was Kronos's like LAST option as a host and I think he wanted Percy as his host (maybe Thalia if Luke convinced her?).

And so at first I was going to do something like this with Percy, but I decided against it (mostly after rereading falling for you for the 3rd time) because I do wanna do Gaea somewhere in this AU and I feel like the relationship between Gaea and Percy has the potential to be so much more personal than it ever was between Kronos and Percy (because Kronos wasn't really Percy's true villain, not really, it was Luke if that makes sense lol).

So I'm sort of playing around with the idea of Kronos aiming for Nico. Because Kronos def wants a big three kid as his host and Thalia and Bianca are sorta out of the picture. And with how vulnerable Nico is, by the time Nico wants to turn back, it may already be too late.

And yes, Jason is at CHB and is definitely an option, Kronos didn't think of Jason as a host. Because Jason isn't the type of person Kronos is looking for or can really exploit. Kronos seems to go after jaded, bitter, and angry characters mostly and while Jason is a little bitter, he isn't really angry, not when Kronos is looking for a big three kid host. Because Jason isn't upset over losing his sister, he barely knew her. Yeah he's bitter, but not at a point where Kronos can use it.

I'd say in this AU, Kronos tries going for Percy, but he's blocked off. For whatever reason, Kronos just can't get in.

Now, there's one other titan I'd think about doing it with or having a role where he's lending characters his powers. Ophion.

Now ur probably asking who that is and that's a great question (thats a link btw).

Anyways it's almost 12 and my brain is dying so I'ma just post this.

Spider-Man AU

I've posted all the chapters for act 1 because I wanted to get them out instead of sitting on them. They might be kinda shitty but they're done. Start with chapter 2

Zeus!Percy (and possible siblings)

So I was thinking about Zeus!Percy and I was thinking about his possible childhood. I actually feel like it would relatively the same since he’s a big three child. He’d probably still have to deal with Gabe and all that but I do feel like his anger issues may be a bit intensified which may lead him to be put in more military schools when he was a child and possibly more fights.

His sense to protect would be greater I feel like which wouldn’t change much, at least not in his childhood.

One thing I do actually want to change is Percy possibly killing Gabe here. Zeus is a god of justice and especially after finding out Gabe hit his mom I feel like Percy might’ve killed Gabe (albeit possibly an accident).

His powers would mostly be control of storm related activities with his two main abilities being heliokinesis (control of the sun) and Atmo/Electrokinesis.

Other aspects and epithets of his powers would be unlocked throughout his quests, with him discovering the chthonic side of Zeus in the BoTL.

So basically Perseus is like a mini Zeus lol.

I think, especially because in the AU I’m considering Thalia to be a child of Apollo (still thinking on this). People would be very afraid of Percy at first, just like in canon and would slowly open up to him, but after his abnormal powers people would sort of stay away from him in fear because it’s like “wtf a child of Zeus isn’t supposed to have these types of powers are they??”

Especially when he shows off less than heroic traits people will stay away from him in this au, although after TLO he’s officially respected, especially after he stood up to his father on the treatment of demigods.

Now as for siblings one I definitely want to do for sure is Ethan as a child of Zeus. I feel like Ethan would be the opposite of Percy. While Percy got all the cool powers and domains, Ethan got nothing besides Zeus’s sense of justice and his war like attributes. He’d feel resentful towards Percy, especially because he wasn’t claimed and he feels like because he was born without powers, Zeus didn’t deem him worthy of being claimed.

Other things I thought of:

- Blue food would most definitely still be a thing.

- Percy controlling Poison is most definitely not going to be a thing, but I am cooking up some ideas, at least for the “dark” side of his powers.

- Being as I’m making him a legacy of Apollo, he still gets the weirdly prophetic dreams which definitely I intend to go a little deeper into. With the potential of alternate futures and Percy seeing it through his dreams (there are three fates after-all)

- Percy isn’t really close with Zeus or most of his siblings, but Poseidon like absolutely loves him. He’s like “woah can I claim this guy??” Just because of how unhinged and unrestrained Percy is going to be lol (even though Poseidon has children of his own).

- Nyx has a weird obsession with him. I thought it was as sort of uninteresting Nyx was interested in Nico. I feel like it would’ve been more interesting if Nyx was interesting in Percy or like someone else, especially because of the growing darkness of Percy in Tartarus. It would also be weirdly uncharacteristic of children of Zeus and I feel like Percy is legit all about breaking the Zeus child stereotypes.

- Percy is so like Zeus in certain ways, like when he’s commanding in battle or when he gets angry he looks so much like Zeus especially in his eyes it’s uncanny.

This is just a random yapping cuz I’m at school rn but tell me what you think in the comments please 🙏

Demigods and Domains

I'm pretty sure this is like pure fanfic stuff but I like the idea of it a lot. The idea that the reason Percy can control things like blood and poison is because while he was in Tartarus his domains evolved and expanded out of the ones his father gave him.

And basically its one of the reasons demigods are so powerful, because they can cross and seep into another God's domain (not easily of course) but they aren't restricted by being a god because they have mortal blood within them.

So that had me thinking a little bit. If Percy (and by extension other characters but it would be a little bit tricker to apply it to) falling into Tartarus where he is pushed to such extremes that the capabilities of his domains shift, then what the hell could he be capable of?

Not to mention possible blessings from the gods and Primordials. (Yeah this is lowkey apart of my Tartarus AU because I think I want to write that one first. Maybe I'll just switch and swap until I finish one lol).

Because I'm not gonna lie I could lowkey see Percy being offered blessings from multiple and I have a few ideas.

But just as a normal demigod what could he domains expand to? Would it be a stretch for fire to become apart of his domain due to the exposure and use of the phlegethon?

I've already thought about the basic things people usually do, pulling magma from the earth, ice manipulation, poison, blood, pulling water from thin air, etc etc.

But I want to do something different because I do want to incorporate "dark!percy" into it somehow.

But not like super op, edgy. dark Percy because realistically he wouldn't be like that. I just see him as more of "falling for you" type if you've ever read that.

So like if you have any ideas PLEASE comment I have none. I really just want to explore his powers out of the basics. (Maybe to can tap into different epithets from Poseidon and from other pantheons because syncretism??

My Spider-Man au MIGHT be my Roman Empire rn. I’ve been writing it for like three days and I’m at 10K just finished the first arc (out of idk???)

And like everyones lives are so unnecessarily tragic lmao. The first arc focuses on Percy, but this second arc still focuses on Percy, but also slowly incorporates other characters too so I think I’ll have fun writing that, especially as Percy leans more into Spider-Man and basically stops trying to have a life as Percy. Essentially I can’t wait to focus on the side cast.

Eventually posting to Ao3, just have to add more to the first arc (eventually)

Part 2 of demigod attributes.

An AU I might actually write

An AU where Percy falls into Tartarus alone (Percy and Nico parallels would go crazy for this ngl) but when he gets there like its actually sort of a system there.

There's like (very few) demigods, and like actual gods there (original gods though probably) and like beings that are apart of two different pantheons and just like beings too dangerous or demigods too dangerous and the gods just chucked them in there.

And if I wanted to take it a step further maybe demigods like Michael Yew and Ethan Nakamura who fell from the bridge and olympus respectfully ended up falling into tartarus (and somehow didn't die for plot reasons) or like maybe even Luke was sent there after his death because the gods def didn't want his reincarnated soul running around.

And so Percy's just traveling around there while he's down there and meeting all these people (some of which were just punished by existing) and not to mention the natural exploration of his powers.

But I wouldn't want it to be like an edgy, op, Annabeth breaks up with Percy type thing nothing like that.

it would also be interesting to see how differently I could get the prophecy to play out like

'the oath to keep with a final breath'

and

'to storm or fire'

or even 'and foes bear arms to the doors of death' because i feel like if i wrote bob into this fic i probably wouldn't have him last until the doors of death.

Also the effects of Percy going into Tartarus alone on the rest of the seven + Nico which is always fun.

Lowkey a Percy, Michael (Yew), and Ethan trio traveling through Tartarus could be a fun dynamic to explore.

As a result of my latest dc obsession I’m gonna be writing a Robin!Percy AU and nobody’s gonna stop me (that’s it, that’s the post)

Kinda random BUT

I think before I write any AUs I wanna try and write sort of a canon compliant AU or atleast a post HoO fic.

It would probably be Percy centric and I have no idea what it would be about tbh.

Maybe it would be a quest, focusing on his character without Annabeth or Grover there, maybe have some other demigods accompanying him?

Not sure lol. I know in my fics I do want to go into depth and tweak the characterization of some gods (esp gods like Ares, Zeus, even Poseidon maybe).

I feel like a quest would be more interesting though, I feel like I’d have fun making my own prophecy and stuff.

As for the danger level of the quest I kinda realize I’d probably have to make it pretty dangerous. I’d want to involve the primordials not gonna lie. Like they’re alive but not causing problems.

It probably would be sort of traumatic but not as traumatic I think. I don’t think there’s worse I can do than Tartarus but I do have an idea of a sort of æther realm based off of the idea of a 5th element.

Id also want to try my hand at exploring different versions of gods one biggest example being Mycenaean Poseidon, Demeter etc. Maybe a bit of Orphic things too.

If I did have Percy go on the quest I think i like the idea of it being a Sky, Water, Earth trio going on the quest or something similar considering primordials and what not.

I feel like I’d want to limit canon characters to leave it open to new characterization.

It wouldn’t be really long (at least not on purpose) I do want to give myself a challenge before I go into writing my other fic ideas though so yeah.

Just a yap session because I wanted to post today. I like posting about whatever I’m thinking especially about Percy Jackson because non of my friends irl like Percy Jackson so it’s nice I get to yap about it to whoever sees it so when you like, reblog, and comment it makes my day. Going online servers to talk about it are too much for me so I’m glad I brought myself to do this so I apologize if I have a buncha changing ideas a lot.

:-)
