This Is How I Envisioned Annabeth When My Fic Will End. She'll Have Shorter Hair And A More Pale/goshtly

Pov Thalia when she comes back to consciousness and the guy who was supposed to be her best friend turned to Kronos, committed numerous crimes (including POISONING HER TREE)

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)

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.

Thinking about making a godswap and I’m think about what godly parent I should give these characters bcuz there’s so many options. So first we’re gonna start with Percy??

(I’d appreciate it if you gave your reason as to why in the comments to give me better insight lol. Keep in mind I sort of want to keep to core of his character and not change anything too drastically).

Planing for my characters in my AU to spend a considerable amount of time in Greece which means I’m going to have to spend a considerable amount of time researching Greece, which I don’t have a problem with.

But something I also want to explore is Greek families, dynasties, just stuff like that. I also think it would be interesting to explore heroes or lack there of in Greece. How demigods are basically normal people and aren’t trying to be put on a leash. Idk I’m really excited to write it when I finish everything else.

Part 2 to this

Been looking at the Roman Gods recently and things like syncretism and how different their parentages are and it’s funny that I find out in some versions, Mercury (Hermes) dad is actually Caelus (Ouranos).

Which kinda put me into a bit of a rabbit hole because while I don’t believe the Romans had a great prophecy I do think I could work a prophecy of the “eldest gods” into it.

Because in this AU the Romans don’t really have “Great Prophecies” not really. They more so have Great Wars instead that may or may not have been prophecies but they don’t really have great prophecies like the Greeks do, not really.

Anyways, a few other things I wanted to do was have their be some sort of unofficial hierarchy I guess?

Because mostly in new Rome, there are like three main groups.

- Old Blood, which is considered at the top. They’re usually the ones in the senate. Think of them as the equivalent of like rich white people I guess. They’re typically legacies of powerful and important gods like Venus, Janus, Jupiter, and Juno just to name a few. They’re typically attached to older values and these were the ones which supported Octavian in the Second Giant War. They usually don’t have a lot of abilities involving fighting, but are more charismatic and have a way of words over the common people and the senate.

- Demigods of Gods in Triads (Jupiter, Janus, Juno, Minerva, Venus, and Mars aka the Capitoline Triad and Archaic Triad + Venus) They’re sort of in the middle and can overlap with Old Bloods. They’re typically treated with high respect because of their parents but typically don’t get any special favors compared to Old Bloods. They usually have more fighting prowess compared to Old Bloods and if they’re in a Cohort, they’re usually the Centurion (because they’re expected to, but these types of demigods from triad gods are rare so)

- Literally everyone else

- Children of Neptune (mostly by old bloods and senate, just because of the Romans aversion and experience with the sea in old times), Dis Pater, Pluto (because their association with Death), and Diana Nemorensis (and any gods/goddess heavily related to forests which I may have missed because of her association with forests which the Romans didn’t particularly like and were sort of afraid of.

I do enjoy stories where other demigods are just startled or unsettled by other demigods because of their parentage and I wanted to add that to CJ too so I wanted to incorporate that here by looking up things ancient Roman were vary and afraid of and throwing it there. I think I’m about to start working on characters for CJ since that’s gonna be the main thing I need to do since we have nothing on what happened during the 2nd Titan war, then I can move onto the mist lifting and the implications of that. Then I can finally write!

Getting into the marvel a lot recently and tempted to write a marvel sort of role swap if that makes sense?

Like basically replacing the marvel characters with Percy Jackson characters I guess.

The storyline would prob be a mix of Mcu and Comics and the storylines would be changed a bit to more fit some of the canon pjo stuff but yeah.

I can only think of a few ideas at the moment, but I definitely want Percy to be Ironman. Some people may argue with me tbh and idc lol. I don’t know why I can see it, maybe it’s because of this fic I read by unsureavenger, but I can’t unsee. I mean they both were abused by an alcoholic and have frighteningly low self esteem (atleast Tony does in the movies) and I would probably change his backstory a bit but I can see Percy as Tony Stark (maybe the mcu just altered my brain and Percy has to be the mc in everything I write. Probably.)

I do want to include Luke, but I always try to include Luke in not only Annabeth’s story, but Percy’s too because they’re so important to both of their stories.

I’m trying to think of a way where Luke ends up as Percy’s mentor, and I actually think I can use a concept from the Ironman animated show and a character known as Genie Khan to do this although it wouldn’t take place in the main fic.

I think I could make Annabeth maybe Black Widow (or Captain America?? I dunno. Maybe even the wasp)

Ideas would be well appreciated. This wouldn’t be a main fic of course because I’m still working on my main kinda sorta demigod super hero AU but it would be a side thing of sorts I guess.

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 🙏

At first I wasn't going to involve any Mycenaean or Minoan related things in my kinda sorta superhero demigod au but I'm actually reconsidering.

I'm currently writing this scene were Percy ends up going on a mission but he sort of loses his shit after injecting something and I think I want the trigger to be because he has such origins.

So I started doing a little research and found out that there was (supposedly? idk how true it is) was a Minoan god known as Potidas who was essentially ruled over everything and like natural things, so he ruled over the earth, the sky, storms, etc.

And so I also found out that Poseidon (atleast maybe his name?) actually came from this god.

And of course you may or may not know about Mycenaean Poseidon who was a chthonic deity.

So I plan on having Percy be of such descent probably.

But I don't want to do this with just Percy. I want to do this with other demigods too, especially ones like Zeus who was associated with a Minoan God known as Velchanos and was associated with like vegetation but I don't know if I should do this with preexisting characters or make some new ones up to do it.

So I decided im just gonna, make a poll lol and the first one is gonna be for Zeus's kids. Jason isn't going to be on this list because he's Jupiter's kid and I want to have the distinction in this be pretty clear.

Mostly just a brainstorming post tbh.

Thinking about the different Demigod factions in the random AUs pushed all into one verse AU lol ( I don’t have a name for it, oops)

Cuz like obviously we have Camp Half-Blood, which I feel like for the sake of having no mist would have to be more professional as I think demigod discrimination is real so they’d have their own specialized schools, CHB and CJ would just be the big Greco-Roman ones (kinda like how there are other wizarding schools in HP?) but they’re pretty minor I’d say.

Like CHB would be the equivalent of a public school for Demigods so most people in the area go there I’d say because there’s no extra things required. And I also feel like CHB would be faced with a lot more discrimination as basically they aren’t CJ lol. They’re not military coded and training them to be soldiers, not really. Chiron’s just preparing them for battle using things similar to the mortal world activities just like in canon.

Then there’s CJ. CJ is basically a private military school and is where everyone would LIKE demigods to be sent to but because they’re so prestigious that’s obviously not the case.

Anyways, I think that demigod quests have to be approved by some sort of government officials otherwise it would be considered an act of vigilantism.

Law authorities wouldn’t like demigods that much but I feel like they would have mythical related weapons through magic. (Although uou can’t tell me that they didn’t try to experiment on demigods AND MONSTERS probably when the mist first lifted)

I feel like goddess like Apollo, Hestia, Hecate, Hera, Artemis, and Hermes would be more worshipped by society as they’re important aspects. Hecate specifically because through magic is a way for mortals to defend themselves although not everyone can just casually learn it.

Then there’s the TA which kinda has two branches, the main Greek branch and the Roman branch who’s kinda allowed to do their own thing unless given direct orders from Luke or Saturn/Kronos. They’d be considered vigilantes but it would be like, cops vs any superhero’s villains type situation.

Would cops have a demigod unit? Probably but I don’t think they’d like to bring them out, simply because the overall consensus is that demigods are inferior (not to mention them having learning disabilities which would make this worse) and society probably molding them for battle once they’re claiming or found.

So the TA isn’t JUST going for the gods, they want to take out the mortals that’s been oppressing them for so long. So like not only cycle of abuse, but oppression too, fun!

So yeah, definitely planning on making other factions and camps for other parts of the world because the mist dropped for the WHOLE world. Also not to mention government definitely trying to breed and make weapons from different pantheons because once a gods blood in engraved within a bloodline, you just have to pull it out of them.

Yeah I definitely think from unit 731 did/is going on with demigods and that will also play a role.

Also thinking about when Percy would go to camp and I think maybe around TTC. Maybe he has his first encounter with CHB in SoM. And the camps in this AU know of each other but they don’t really interact cuz they have a really bitter rivalry.

I also can’t wait for finish writing the prologue because I feel like the situation I made with Percy and Sally is really interesting and makes his parallels w Luke in this AU that much stronger.
