I...I just finished the chapter of my fanfic which has been on hiatus for nearly a year due to immense burn out which was caused by that one english teacher. I have overcome the curse of being an author which doesn't update in moths. Finally I have updates my little fanfic about some gods being turned to silly humans and have to deal as mortals. I feel so relieved. Is this how it feels? To be able to complete something which you have struggled with? If so I feel victorius.
Reunion where Toby gets the puberty he deserved
jason and piper
In the Riordanverse I know there’s vague ancient laws about the gods not interfering too much with mortal affairs. I just feel like after ToA Apollo really pushes that with being around Camp Half-Blood more but also with demigod quests. His favorite way to do so becomes apparent pretty quickly. Demigods come back from quests and random monster encounters with similar stories.
“The monster almost caught us but then, the sunlight reflected off of a broken piece of glass on the street at just the right angle. It temporarily blinded the slimy beast! Gave me just enough time to retrieve my weapon!”
“Oh really? That’s wild! A month ago on my quest there were several basilisks after me. I raised my sword and the sun glinted off of it. It seemed to disorient them. I took the opportunity to slash them to pieces.”
“Huh.” Percy chimes in. “Kind of reminds me of the other day. I was forming a wave to unleash on this giant, hairy, whatever that monster was and the sunlight bounced off of the water. Like you two said, it hit the monster right in the eyes. Not that I didn’t have it handled, but it did let me catch my breath and focus more on the attack and less on getting slashed again.”
Annabeth laughs. “And here I thought you made the water reflect the sunlight on purpose.”
Percy drags his hand across his face. “Is it too late to pretend I totally planned that because I’m just so smart?”
She elbows him and laughs. “Afraid so, Seaweed Brain.”
“Pretty sure I heard someone else talk about something like that happening too.” One of the other demigods remembers. “A random old mirror in the woods of all places. A bunch of crows flew through the trees, it moved a branch and beam of sunlight shined down through the opening. It hit the mirror and reflected right in the eyes of a monster. Gave the girl a couple of seconds, enough time to jab her spear into the monster’s head.”
Annabeth looks to Percy with wide eyes of realization. He meets her gaze. A few seconds later, he comes to the same conclusion that she did.
They see Apollo visiting with his children the following day.
“There’s been some interesting coincidences lately.” Annabeth starts slyly.
Percy joins in. “Yeah, don’t know if you’ve heard but monsters seem to keep getting the sun in their eyes during battles.”
“Oh is that so?” Apollo smiles mischievously. “How unfortunate for the monsters!”
Will hears the conversation and turns to them.
“Yeah Dad, most of the quest related injuries have been more minor lately. Seems campers have been getting just the distraction they need.” He smiles in a way that looks very similar to his dad and crosses his arms. “Almost like the sun is on our side.”
“Now, what would give you that idea?” The god winks and picks up a nearby guitar to join in with his other kids as they play.
I FINALLY GOT TSATS LETZ FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hero Matau.
I like much more do this stuff with less color. What do you think?
As you can see here!!!
Alright I have a working concept, but I'm NOT in the mood for anatomy so no full body.
I'm working primarily from Aztec mythology for our lovely pyromaniac, specifically Huitzilopochtli --- God of sacrifice, war, and the sun. He would transform into hummingbirds or hawks, so I'm thinking that's how Bellroc is going to spy on the group / Influence the war of Killahead since Bellroc takes a less primary role bc Skræl is the main antagonist.
They have two sets of arms, and a mastery of nearly all basic weapon types. They have a tail too bc a lot of art of Huitzilopochtli has a tail and I thought it'd be neat to add 😋
Another concept I'm thinking about is having their cloak of hawk and hummingbird feathers turn into a pair of wings, but I'm not sure if they'll keep their second pair of arms if that design moves forward as a primary.
Did their staff based off the Quetzalcoatl, but that's definitely prone to change.
Bellroc is able to master nearly any fighting style and technique, along with having quick thinking skills. They have particularly good control of their muscles, which makes their balance immaculate.
I might add some Hindu and Native American elements to their design in the future but for tonight I like what I have. Which, is not a lot, but it's better than nothing at all 👍
Doing research for Bellroc’s redesign right now. A few concept designs as well, might have some art to upload later tonight or tomorrow for all 3 people in the Trollhunters fandom 🫶

I was poking around in the Rise of the Titans tag to find a specific prediction for the film when I stumbled upon this.
Jim could have been a Changeling???
And they scrapped it?????
Oh, this is definitely going into my Au.
Everyone could have had it all. Claire's magic was meant to make him a new type of changeling that did not have/need a familiar...
THE ENDING OF TOA THE BURNING MAXE FUCKING KILLED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS I ALMOST CRIED INFRONT OF EVERYONE DUDE THAT KILLED ME
TOA spoilers below
LIKE I KNEW JASON DIED BUT WHAT THE ACUALL FUCK
Nico was the most nervous to come out to Hazel. Hazel meant a lot to him, but she was from the same time period he was. She’d even lived in it longer, and a time period that wasn’t at all permissive of people like Nico. Would she be able to accept that one of those people was her brother? Or would it drive a wedge between them that could never be removed. But Jason knew, and Percy and Annabeth and even Piper. She was bound to find out eventually. Nico owed it to her to at least tell her himself.
The night he told Hazel was sitting on the roof of the Pluto cabin at camp Jupiter. Nico couldn’t remember the exact words he used, he couldn’t hear himself over the ringing in his ears. Hazel was quiet. She barely looked at him. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from her, silently begging for some hint of the softness he’d come to associate his sister with.
“Okay” that was all Hazel had left him with. Just, Okay. He wanted to press, ask what she meant by that. Okay that’s fine? Okay so I have a gay brother? Okay we’re never talking again?
But maybe he was being unfair. She needed time. Eventually he wishes her goodnight and slid inside. She sat out there for a while longer. When she returned they both laid in the silence until they fell asleep. Nico left for camp half blood the next morning.
About a week later Hazel was due to visit camp half blood and Nico’s chest had been winding into a ball of anxiety all week. He kept writing and rewriting what he would say to Hazel. Maybe they could just ignore this whole thing? It’s not like Nico had a boyfriend or anything. And he wasn’t holding his breath on getting one, that would still require someone to want to date him. But she knew now. She couldn’t un-know.
Hazel had a notebook in her hands as she approached Nico at the Hades table. Will Solace caught Nicos attention for a moment with a sympathetic smile and a thumbs up. He knew how nervous Nico was about this. The irony of his crush trying to be supportive in this wasn’t lost on Nico, but he couldn’t dwell on it at the moment. “Listen Hazel-“ he started as she sat at the table and opened her book. She cut him off “Malcom Pace?” She asked, looking at her notebook. Nico blinked in confusion. “The Athena kid? What about him?” He asked “do you like him?” Hazel asked so matter of factly it nearly made Nico choke. “No I- Hazel what are you talking about?” He managed “I’m gonna find you a boyfriend.” She crossed off a name from her list, presumably Malcom Pace. Nico was too stunned for a moment to say anything. “Nathan Calish? He’s a son of Mercury. He’s good with strategy games” Nico shook himself from his state of shock “Hazel I really don’t need you to-“ Hazel continued to scribble “Maybe a Hephaestus kid? Jake Mason is pretty good looking without the casts”
Nico couldn’t help the laugh that bubbles to the surface. Maybe it was relief that Hazel didn’t hate him. That in fact she’d taken it upon herself to find him a boyfriend. Maybe it was the ridiculous list of male campers, both Roman and Greek, that she’d collected to run past him. She kept running through names and Nico kept trying to tell her it wasn’t necessary and he wasn’t looking to date right now that he appreciated all the work she’d done but- “Will Solace?” Nico’s face flushed a little “What? No. No I don’t like Will” Hazel paused and grinned. “Will Solace.” Nico started to blush against his best effort to remain neutral. “Hazel no I’m not-“ she circled Wills name in her notebook and shut it. To Nicos horror she got up from the table and made her way over to the Apollo table.
Nico tried to look busy with his food instead of the raw embarrassment he felt as he strained to narrow in on Hazels voice. “Hey Will, the Apollo cabin leads the campfire sing along right?” Will seemed a little confused, at least from what Nico could pick out of his voice “uh yea, why do you ask?” “I’m just not really familiar with how it goes and I was a little nervous, do you think Nico and I could join the Apollo cabin tonight?” Oh gods. What was Hazel doing? Nico face was burning as he stared intently at his barely touched dinner. “Oh yea of coarse” Will replied in his signature happy to help tone.
Nico was truly grateful that Hazel had accepted him, but what in hades had he gotten himself into?
i love this sm :) <3
Grow old (with you?) What a privilege (a pleasure).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICO DI ANGLO
GUYS I NEED HELP PLS
Ok so basically Solangelo fanfic idea (angst) so Nico and Will break up and Nico gets with a mortal that can see through the mist and after a while let him into camp. They get there late in the day so it’s campfire time. He doesn’t have time to induce his bf yet. Kayla and Austin and Will get up on stage. (Will has moved out of camp and is taking collage classes to become a doctor, he doesn’t come across the many monsters because he isn’t one of the big three and he needed to get away from camp) Will doesn’t know Nico has a new bf and that he’s here. So when he sees them cuddled up he gets JEALOUS so Will starts singing songs from short n’ sweet by Sabrina like Bed Chem, Juno, Coincidence, also a little bit of Olivia Rodrigo like get him back and Kayla and Austin are being hype back up singing and they’re playing the instruments and stuff, and Nico is sweating and after the campfire Will is telling the seven and all those people his plan (to make nico jealous and see what he left but he didn’t think he would get the chance to get nico back) and they love it so when Nico comes and is like hey guys this is my bf and the guys puts out his hand for someone to shake it but literally everyone rejects him cos Solangelo for life. After everyone leaves Nico, Will and Nico’s bf start talking and we find out Nico’s bf is transphobic (wills trans) (i love that hc) (nicos bf was also never rly gay) and was only with Nico for the money (cos pluto is the god of riches and stuff) and solangelo get back together!!!!

Annabeth: .............

Percy: That was a serious question
Mr.D, gesturing towards Hazel: Okay, first of all I'd like to introduce our new ambassador of camp Jupiter, Hailey, and I'd like to thank her for her generous gift of two dollars, which she handed to me this morning. Unnecessary but appreciated
Piper, whispering to Hazel: Why'd you give him two dollars?
Hazel, whispering back : I thought he was homeless
Nero: I have an army
Apollo: (blurts out defensively) We have Percy jackson
Percy, in the distance: NO YOU DONT

some sketches of otto that are somewhat related to an AU I've been thinking about lately
Oh, boy, a special job!
The anticipation was killing me. Or maybe that was the poison in my veins.
Lester, Trials of Apollo, The Tyrant's Tomb
Bruh I got ToA Tyrant's Tomb yesterday because the store had stocked it the day before.
I was reading it, and all these memories were flooding back from the past books. It was all happy and stuff, as a book from Uncle Rick would occasionally be, right?
I was sitting on be bed sobbing with tears streaming down my face. That was at page thirty-fucking-five. I'm also pissed because some rogue tears that I didn't know about landed right on the book, but it's okay.
I can't wait to see what the rest of the book has in store. Yaaayyyyyyy.
Wish my emotionally unstable self luck.
Oh no Definitely Don’t click the link
Ever wanted to read the Trollhunters books but you can't even buy them because they've apparently been taken off the market and practically from existence? Spent weeks searching for online versions before eventually giving up?
Well don't click this link!
It has all of the trollhunters side adventure books as well as the two comics in easily accessible pdf form, so we wouldn't want that to spread! Definitely do not share with your friends!
These books have a lot of really interesting characters that don't appear in the series, and we absolutely don't want more people to know about them! A single person in the whole entire fandom making occasional fanart of them is enough!

A small little girl with ash blond locks can be seen standing in the shadows. A woman with cinnamon brown hair, and gold eyes is yelling at a man and woman. The man had black hair and ruby eyes was yelling back. The final woman had mocha brown hair and artic eyes was screaming back. The little girl just stood and watch the fight. Tilting her head she begins to walk to the artic eyed woman. Only to be backhanded onto the floor.
The little girl got up from the ground with the help of a man with black hair, and the tips of his hands black. The man wipes the tears from the little girls face. The man whisperers
“Odette”.

An older version of the little girl woke with a start. The girl known as Odette stared at her lap, hands pulling her hair. Feeling a hand on her arm she jumps up. Looking up all she sees is her foster brother Toby. The concerned look on Toby’s face was all she needed to see, Odette knew she needed to clam down. Breathing in and out her ash blond hair goes in her face. Moving her bangs to the side her forest green eyes meet Toby’s emerald eyes. A smile graces her face as she pulls her hair.
“Good morning too you too Toby.” Odette yawns. Stretching a sun beam shines in her face. Flinching she squints, opening her eye she see the window open. Confused Odette looks at Toby but he just smiles and hands her a gift bag. Tilting her head she opens the bag. In the bag is a black tennis skirt, grey short sleeve shirt, and a pair of black converse. Looking at Toby with a smile Odette hugs Toby.
“Thank you Toby this is very nice” Odette exclaims.
“No problem. I just thought you would want a new outfit for your first day of real high school. Nana helped me pick out the outfit, I don’t really know what your fashion look is but I thought this was a good start. Plus we have to go get Jimbo from his house. Remember him I told you all about him.” Toby explains.
Nodding her head Odette gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom. Odette cleans her hair, washes her face, brushes her teeth, and does her hair. Odette pulls her hair into a ponytail then braids it loosely. Walking out of the bathroom Odette goes to the kitchen. Toby throws her an apple and the pair walk out the door.
As they get to the garage Toby puts in the passcode. As Odette grabs her skateboard Toby grabs his bike. They make there way across the road to see a boy cleaning up garbage. As the two talk Odette just stands there shuffling. The raven haired boy looks at Odette confused.
“Toby who is this”Jim states pointing at Odette confused. “Oh that’s Odette my new sister” Toby beams putting an arm around her shoulder. Odette just smiles quickly, then the smile disappears and she just looks at the floor.
“I’m James but everyone calls me Jim. So your staying with Toby, umm yo-you look really nice.” Jim blurts. As Jim gets a good look at her he sees the small ring of pure black around her forest green eyes. Odette’s rose pink lips. The dark circles under her eyes, the light flush to her cheeks. The way some strands of her ash blond hair fall out of her braid.
“Oh here Toby I made lunch sorry I didn’t make you one if I had known”Jim starts. A light chuckle comes from Odettes lips. “I’m a pescatarian, and you made meatloaf. Don’t worry let’s go to school, or we’ll be late.” Odette giggles.
As the Jim and Toby ride bikes Odette skateboards next to Jim. Jim notices that she is falling behind so he stops. Titling her head Odette looks at Jim confused, but he just motions her to grab the back of his bike. As the group get closer to the canal Jim forgets Odette is holding on and he jumps into the canal. A smirk comes on her face as she does a flip with her board and lands near Jim.
Jim looks at Odette with an odd look when her remembers that she was riding on the back of his bike. “ODETTE I’M SO SORRY I FORGOT THAT YOU WERE HOLDING ON TOO MY BIK- do you hear that. Is someone calling our names” Jim questions. A shocked look comes over Odettes face and she nods her head. The pair looks around and notice a pile of rock. Slowly the two walk over to it.

Hiii Nico Di Angelo 💕
Death
After being in the Tartarus, Nico was really anxious, when he was alone he yearned for human connection.
In the day was easy, the Mediterranean sun heating his skin, the bright blue sky, holding Hazel's hand, in the night, it was hard, they weren't enough rooms, and he can't go to Percy nor Annabeth's, the little room they gave him was small, triggering the memories of the jar in Rome.
Because of that, he was, most of the nights, in the mast, the sea smell calming him, so different from the toxic Tartarus air.
In the nights, he and Leo started to converse, it was easy, and the boy's voice calmed him, he knew when Nico wants to listen and when to talk.
After Eros, Jason tag along too, and the three of them enjoyed the company of each other.
When Leo died, Jason and Nico became closer, sharing activities in Camp Half-Blood, talking about temples, gods, and aesthetics.
They searched together for Leo, and, when Jason took the decision to study in Pasadena, Nico almost enters the school too.
Later, when Leo, Calypso, and Apollo departed, a bad feeling burned in the chest of Nico, Will, worried, advise to follow his guts, but Nico can't, not knowing what was going to happen.
But he dreamed, the night Caligula killed Jason, he woke up, sweaty and teary, shocked.
He felt the death of Leo, but, thanks to the physician cure, he didn't see his soul been judged in the underworld, the absence of his life like a hole on his chest.
Maybe, he thought, when his father spoke about unavoidable deaths, he was talking about Octavian and Leo, but, perhaps the Fates decided someone of the seven had to die, the storm or the fire, and, by the trick of Leo, he had doomed Jason.
The son of Hephaestus went back to Camp Half-Blood, tired, his eyes gloomy, destroyed, as he had the same realization that Nico, he caused Jason's death.
Nico hugged him, whispering sweet words to the boy, talking about Elysium, and the promise to talk to Jason's ghost, at least to say goodbye.
