Kronos Pjo - Blog Posts

My first design for my PJO AU where Luke isn’t the host of Kronos (among other things but it doesn’t really have a name yet.)

Unfortunately someone had to do it where is where I decided to start for my first oc. He doesn’t have a name quite yet but in this AU he’s the one who hosted Kronos and kicked off the Titan War.

He mostly shows up in flashbacks but he definitely plays a similar role to Luke and his actions definitely haunt the narrative.

Most of the quests from the OG books still happened including the Titan’s Curse so I had to give him his gray hair for holding up the sky.

I actually don’t have that many designs done but I’ll post them periodically (probably) as I draw more for this AU than write lol.

Not gonna lie, the Luke and Percy parallels in this very strange AU I’m cooking is going crazy and honestly, I don’t mind. (Slight spoilers for Wrath of the Triple Goddess dealing with Sally and Hecate below)

Because Hecate’s magic school being open as a result of the mist falling, so mortals could fend against monsters I realized have a lot of repercussions. And I say this simply because of the fact that by the time Sally is born, mortals aren’t exactly used to having monsters around. Like, very few weapons have been made and people have essentially been having demigods fight for them because people have no idea where celestial bronze comes from or even what’s going on still, not really.

Because I seriously doubt the gods would go and explain themselves ngl.

So like, by the time Sally’s born, the school has just been reopened as a precaution and so when Sally stumbles across it in canon she sort of ends up there for a considerable amount of their life.

And of course Sally has seen monsters, but she hasn’t really fought against them. And she never really gets that experience before she meets Poseidon, quits, and has Percy. So when everything hits the fan when there’s a wide monster attack (which really set off the development of the M.P.F, Monster Protection Force section of the NYPD) and especially when some of them are coming towards where she and Percy stay, she has no choice but to tap into magic again to protect herself.

And she gets messed up, like really messed up to the point where Percy is basically taking care of her, and with Gabe in the house (because Demigods and powerful Mortals with or without magic still have smells which means Gabe still has that smell to him) that definitely doesn’t become a fun experience for him.

(Btw despite demigod schools like CHB being, open and like not secret, the training and involvement they have in quests is honestly worst than canon because not only do they get quests from the Delphi, which then have to be approved by the government for the go besides the ones which have a deadline, they also get missions from the government so Sally just wants him to stay away from that as long as possible, as a person can go if they or their parent knows they’re a demigod and hasn’t been claimed, but when a person is publicly claimed, they legally have to transfer. So Sally is just trying her best.)

And I realized how similar I made Luke and Percy’s home life, albeit their mothers ended up the way they did for very different reasons. May not for Luke necessarily but for Hermes but Sally did what she did for her Son. So they parents who are essentially emotionally absent.

Then eventually Percy gets to CJ after getting in a fight with the Minotaur which I’ll just say doesn’t go without a death to someone important (Percy doesn’t kill the Minotaur on his way to the wolf house, not yet) in the same way Luke didn’t get to CHB with Annabeth without losing Thalia (I think given the fact demigods are essentially looked down upon and used, I can think they’d still end up in a situation where they had to run and make it to CHB after hearing about it).

And not to mention both Luke and Percy being a target of a godly being, Luke being Kronos (which eventually doesn’t come to fruition) and Percy being to Kronos and Gaea (I decided to do both, since I think I wanted to combine the Titan War and the Giant War since I don’t think I have it in me to do two separate series for this but yeah, which doesn’t come to fruition either, atleast not in the long run).

I’m sure there’s gonna be more as I write, especially when Percy gets to CHB around TTC as even though Luke was an ambassador for CJ, CHB was his home for much longer. So yeah that’s it lol. Just a yap session.

Godswap AU, Luke.

I was thinking and I really wanted Luke to be the son of a minor god and so I decided to make him the son of Aristaeus. Luke actually has quite a few powers along with his swordsmanship. He can talk to sheeps, grow plants naturally but is more proficient in medical plants, and he can control wind (stronger in the summer) but not as Zeus or wind spirit kids can but still pretty good at it.

I think I wanted to make him the child of a minor god to further push the point of minor god kids being neglected, especially in this setting where a lot of poor people were different types of slaves. He was a commoner until he was taken to camp half blood where then he was taken on quests. On one dangerous quest he was the only one who came back alive (and where he gained his scar). He ended up being ridiculed and pitied by some of the other older campers and they began saying how they shouldn’t have chosen “lower minor god scum” to lead a mission.

So yeah children of minor gods weren’t all that respected in CHB (if you by any chance get claimed that is) and unclaimed campers were pretty much in the same boat.

After his failed quest, he began hearing Kronos talking to him and eventually fell in his clutches.

(Just thought of this but he still has his history with Thalia and Annabeth, his history with Percy is going to be more extensive though and I do want to explore that.)

After Percy follows the prophecy, gets attacked, and taken to CHB he meets Luke and they grow attached to each other until Percy finally goes on his quest. Sometime after Percy’s quest succeeds he puts his action into place and try’s to recruit (and then kill) Percy.

Luke I feel like is actually going to be the most similar but different character at the same time besides Percy in terms of his character and how I want it to progress so I’m really excited for when I start writing it.

What’s the Gaea/Final fight au? 👀

ehe sOOO

Its an AU where Ethan survives the war, he and Al had gotten into an argument prior to the Andromeda that was put on hold because of it and then following the war/massacre they start arguing again.

Ethan is angry that Alabaster didn't back down even after Kronos was defeated, and caused more bloodshed. Alabaster accuses him of treason, etc, etc. It goes on for quite a while with them very much insulting each other, Ethan brings up Al's fatal flaw, Al brings up Nemesis' mistreatment, etc, etc. It goes on and on until Ethan pulls his sword out which leads to a whole ass sword fight.

Of course, the other army members are watching all of this, and hadn't seen fit to step in before the swords were drawn, as arguments were quite frequent and got more and more frequent as the war went on, but they were never physical.

As they tried to intervene, one of them managed to get Als sword out of his hand and incapacitate him from fighting back, not that Ethan processed that before he attacked again. He ended up slicing Al's jugular which caused him to bleed out. Seeing all of that sort of flipped a switch in Ethans mind, and he began panicking, trying to save Al despite his already being dead. In the end, the other army members ended up dragging him off Als body, but not before Ethan could snag one of his rings.

Thats where the Final Fight name is from, buttt

fun fact before we continue; Alabaster was sent to punishment in the Underworld, and his punishment was an endless scenario in which his siblings/loved ones are hunting him on the Princess Andromeda.

Ethan winds up at Camp Jupiter with the help of Hecate after sacrificing an eyepatch of his that Alabaster stitched protection runes into. Originally when she demanded a sacrifice he thought she wanted his other eye 💀 He's also constantly plagued by nightmares, where no matter what happens he ends up killing Alabaster, and as time goes on hes forgetting details and such about Alabaster.

When Percy/The Argo crew shows up, he gets yoinked because he'd previously promised Percy he'd return to Camp Half-Blood. He did end up telling Annabeth about what happened with Alabaster, she was not happy 🤗 She was angry, being passive aggressive with Ethan which confused the fuck out of Percy and the others who didn't know what happened or who Alabaster even is.

Now, of course Gaea would have to come into play somehow, or else why would we call it the Gaea au. Right? Right! She revives Alabaster 🤗

Of course, Ethan doesn't know this, how would he? He is blissfully unaware that Alabaster isn't in the Underworld until he goes along with Hazel and Leo to get the sheet of bronze from Narcissus, only to find Gaea has deployed her dear little son of Hecate to act as a guard.

When they arrive to the pond, they're knocked to the ground by an unknown force, and thenn 🤭

Alabaster technically ends up winning, disarming Ethan and putting him on the ground. But he doesn't kill him.

Alabaster also appears with Otis and Ephialtes, posing as a guard for Nicos jar, hes not very good at that job though. When Nico is released, Alabaster puts a protection rune on his back and gets him out of the way before almost immediately attacking Ethan 💀

They run into him again in the House of Hades while fighting Clytius and Pasiphaë, alongside Lamia. Alabaster winds up stabbing Jason after he got in the way of his and Ethans fight. Although Alabaster has had countless opportunities and openings to kill Ethan, he chooses not to. An action that's not gone unnoticed by Lamia, and eventually leads her to trying to kill him as she views it as treason 🤗

With Alabaster injured and incapacitated, Ethan decides to drag his ass onto the Argo so hes just kinda there now. Lotta drama nobody aside from Annabeth trusts him as he's tried to kill Ethan countless times 💀 🙏 Alabaster is flighty and unpredictable, Ethan and Annabeth are the only ones who try to talk to him, Annabeth is the only one he allows near him as he lashes out whenever Ethan comes into the sickbay which is where hes been stuck. He's impatiently waiting for the crew to kill him because why else would he be here 💀

ALSOOO, as many of these aus are this is v much snatched and curated w @everythingwasalreadypicked bc what else is new LDFMKN

Percy Jackson's fridge horror

What gets to me about Percy Jackson and the sequel series is that there's so much fridge horror in it.

For those of you who don't know, fridge horror is something that seemingly innocent but has very disturbing undertones.

Like the climbing walls in CHB. What do you MEAN that they clash together, hurting the campers who haven't reached the top, and that there's also fucking lava which BURNS THE CAMPERS, NO LESS. And that Chiron allows it?

AND THAT HE FUCKING INSTALLED IT?

And there's lava below? Do you know how serious fucking lava burns are? They're horrible. Campers might have even died before.

And there's a full lava and earthquake mode too, and boulders roll down on the campers, which is pretty serious and can make for some fatal injuries. Jesus, Rick, what the hell were you thinking?

I wonder if Luke saw the horror of this and if this was a small part that motivated him to join Kronos. I really do wonder.

And in ToA, the Three Legged Death Race?

Chiron wants to reward who come back..........alive. Because it's so dangerous that it has fucking exploding Chainsaw Frisbees and iron orbs falling from the ceiling. And apparently it's so dangerous that you can find fucking Python in there too. Oh hey Python, wazzup old mate-AAAAAAHHHHHHH-gets swallowed and painfully digested.

And this is all because a MILLENIA OLD TUTOR WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER AND A FUCKING GOD WHO'S SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THESE CHILDREN couldn't say no to a fucking eight year old who came up with the terribly dangerous and impractical idea for this race. An eight year old, folks.

Chiron is........a terrible person for this. No, fucking seriously. He sent those kids in knowing that they might die and have serious trauma if not. How anyone can like Chiron after this is beyond me. No wonder Luke joined Kronos. Such a shame he lost, though.

And Paolo Montes' limbs just casually being ripped off and then reattached? What the fuck was this, Rick? A child's limbs, that too, sawed off! Dismemberment is so comedic, especially when it happens to an unprepared child!

FUCKING NEWS FLASH, RICK, THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENS! DISMEMBERMENT IS SERIOUS AND PERMANENT TRAUMA! IT'S NOT JUST REATTACHING LIMBS AND OH EVERYTHING IS SUNSHINE AGAIN.

Feel free to add your own fridge horror that you've noticed.
