i love that canon nico's appearance is described as unnerving. percy says he has a glint in his eyes that makes you think he's either a genius or a madman. people comment about how his presence is eerie and how he just seems to show up, like a specter. his smile is said to be more unsettling than his scowl. pretty privilege nico is a fun hc but i just love the idea that he looks like some eldritch being at his worst and a sopping run-over black cat at his best.
Do you realize that Camp Half-blood is most probably a place full of juvenile delinquents? Like nearly all of them have committed a crime or two? If no, you should.
Rachel is officially everyone's sugar mommy. Like girl is the daughter of a billionaire with friends who are a) majorly traumatised b) have shitty parents c) are broke ass kids who prob won't live to see another day so she definitely buys unnecessarily expensive things for all of them
Rachel: Here
Percy: Thank you for the keys??
Rachel: Your welcome. The porche is outside chb
Percy: The what??
Obviously its a full time job to get her friends to accept her gifts but then Piper daughter-of-a-famous-movie-star McLean comes along and they join forces
Piper: I bought Annabeth a motorbike
Rachel: How do we convince her to take it?
Piper: I'm just saying its from Hestia
Rachel: Checks out. It'll probably make Athena pissed too
Alright so you know how Rachel has a really famous dad? She’s probably also really popular on social media and she’s good friends with Percy so there are probably pictures of him on it. There was probably paparazzi involved. Social media probably thought they were dating. There were probably posts on how Rachel was in kahoots with a known terrorist.
So I’m back about Rachel and Percy being bffs. So Rachel’s dad is famous right? She posts pictures of Percy on her Instagram and people are just like
Person1: Wasn’t that the dude who was a terrorist at like 12??
Person2: This dude also destroyed our school gym
Person3: wtf is he doing with a multi-millionaires daughter
So obviously the internet has crazy conspiracy theories about this like
Person1: Is she joining his cult -
Person2: Maybe she’s becoming an environment terrorist
Person3: Percy Jackson? Environment terrorist pls
But the thing is Percy Jackson is a huge environmentalist because Grover and Rachel right so the internet loses their shit
Person2: I told you environment terrorist-
Person3: My life is a lie
And obviously you have the people concerned for Rachel’s safety cause she’s hanging out with a delinquent and they’re like
Headline: Heir of Dare enterprises being manipulated by terrorist
And obviously Rachel’s pissed about it so you know what she’s going to do? She kisses Percy with no warning during some school assembly and people take photos and everyone’s like they’re dating?? (spoiler alert: they’re not but they pretend they are cause it’s easier)
Person1: Did you see how Rachel kissed Percy? Manipulated my ass
Person2: I’m more concerned with the fact that Percy Jackson, the terrorist is blushing
So this starts conspiracy theories that say that Rachel’s an underground cia agent who’s trying to bring in the terrorist organisation Percy’s head of and Percy is just like
Percy: I hate you
Rachel: You knew what you signed up for
Basically Percy and Rachel being bffs and clowning the world y’all
Imagine Paul and Percy’s first meeting like you have Sally telling Paul her child is the sweetest person on earth who wouldn't hurt a soul while in the same breath she goes
Sally: Speaking of, can you convince your school to accept him?
Paul: Uh sure?
Sally: Great! You know what they say eight time's the charm
Paul: Wait -
So obviously Paul does an Internet search and he finds dozens of articles which show that percy is a terrorist who a) blew up an arch b) dumped his class in a shark tank at age 7 and c) casually kills old ladies according to some twitter user so Paul loses his mind. He doesn't know what to believe
Paul: So.. um has Percy ever visited the arch
Sally: Yeah apparently it was destroyed when he was there
So poor Paul is under the impression that Sally is unaware of her son's terrorist activities and expects to find a 6'2 hulking teen with tattoos but instead meets Percy who's 5'5 and hasn't had his growth spurt yet and loses his mind cause what if he's being blackmailed into being a terrorist??
Paul: *trying to be calm*: Hey
Percy: If my mom likes you we're good
And the fact that Percy is 100% a momma's boy and seems nice if not a bit silent? Paul is losing his mind
I think the best part about pjo is that percy thinks he's just some guy while the whole camp is going holy shit that's THE percy jackson like
Camper 1: I heard he beat Ares in a fight
Camper 2: No way
Annabeth (who happened to overhear): It happened when we were 12 btw
So ofc you have these campers who look at Percy like he's a god cause of things he did but then at the same time there's also completely ridiculous things like
Camper 1: Why is his food blue
Camper 2: I heard that it has a secret ingredient that makes him more powerful than the gods
And Percy is just always confused why younger campers take a while to warm up to him and he's just like maybe I'm too mean :(

how do they explain demigod deaths to their mortal friends? like is there j like almost 10 identical articles a year j being like “remember that child of the parent who mysteriously died? their child mysteriously died as well oops” and no one questions it???
About your YouTuber! Percy hc, do you think he would actually know everyone subscribed to him because of the weird background shenanigans or do you think that he’s think they all just find him funny?
okay, I actually have made some more Executive Decisions since I posted that, so let’s just make it clear that:
Percy spent maybe half a day thinking ‘wow I knew I was valid in thinking my girlfriend and sister deserve to be famous’ just because he genuinely hadn’t registered the monster-sized dog or nico crawling out from the shadows behind him as ‘weird’ at first, but then he started reading the comments and was like…..ah,
Annabeth wanted him to immediately delete the videos but he was just like ‘nah it’s too late now we might as well commit’ and started planning his next video lmao. he still didn’t think it was gonna get like, Big tho
demigods and technology don’t mix this is true but by this time the Hephaestus and Athena AND Vulcan kids were all very disgruntled by this and collabed on making a line of products that are monster proof, halfblood suitable, and Hephaestus approved. Percy is using a camera in this line, and that’s why mortals watching his videos aren’t getting blocked by the mist, because….shut up, I said so lol
so again, his videos are mostly tame except for just a few small ‘wtf’ things happening in the background, but it’s enough to get people circulating his videos like ‘hey what the fuck is going on with this guy’ and he gets more and more followers impatiently waiting for updates
after about five months, and article gets posted on buzzfeed about the videos, listing a few theories like, a) it’s photoshopped and cgi-d, although they claim they sent a few clips to video analysists that can’t find any thing fake, and b) this boy is being terrorized by ghosts and demons and he just hasn’t noticed them on camera for some fucking reason, and c) Maybe Us, The Viewers Are The Crazy Ones and d) He’s In Danger And Sending Coded Messages And We Need To Rally Together To Help Him
it trends and his followers SPIKE so Percy decides he should probably do a Q&A and everyone gets hype
except
it’s Percy
He’s sitting on his bed in an orange shirt, but the writing on it is mostly obscured by a blanket. You can JUST see the tip of a spear on the wall above him. There’s a large cut on the side of his head. He’s got a clear glass of some golden liquid he’s sipping from every now and then. There’s an aquarium on the table next to him, but all the fish in the tank are huddled in the same side, staring at him??? Annabeth is sitting next to him, but she’s not looking into the camera, she’s reading a book, and you can see the cover clearly on screen but no one is able to figure out what language it’s in??? at one point during the video, you hear a horse neighing even though he’s in his fourth floor city apartment and his stepfather comes in to tell him ‘blackjack’s in the kitchen make him leave’
but other than that, everyone tuned into this video excited to get answers….but all the answers Percy gives are like ‘Oh, Estelle is 10 months old! she’s getting so big!’ and ‘Annabeth and I met when we were 12′ and ‘I’m looking at colleges in California but I haven’t committed anywhere yet’ and ‘my favorite subject in school is math’
In the middle of the video he read a question ‘please what is up with that dude that keeps crawling out of your fucking walls p l e ase’ and he responds ‘Oh! That’s my cousin Nico! :)’ and then moves back to the tame boring questions sdkjnckdvm
The very last minute of the video, he reads a question asking if he’s possessed and he’s like ‘No, not anymore’ and Annabeth fucking snorts, the first acknowledgement she’s given the whole q&a. the video immediately just ends there, he doesn’t do a sign off or anything
people FLIP
and the next day he’s just back to posting his usual content. this time features a shot of him walking in a rainstorm, to hood no umbrella, completely fucking dry
youtube drama channels are covering every single video he posts. conspiracy theorists are going fucking wild.
one of these youtube conspiracy channels is 100% run by Leo Valdez. He’s having the time of his goddamn life throwing bullshit out there
Piper McLean 100% has her own channel dedicated to debunking everything Leo says on his channel. They’ve been doing this dance since 9th grade and all of their viewers think they fucking hate each other it’s hilarious to them
so SHE points out that not only are Leo’s theories stupid, but he’s been spotted in Percy’s videos! And he was on fire in one of them! Hello???
Someone then tweets her that SHE’S been spotted in Percy’s videos, a few of them the same ones Leo was in, and she responds to the callout with a Mariah Carey gif and goes silent on twitter for three months
Leo starts insisting that’s Definitely Not Him In Percy’s Videos, Thank You, How Dare You Accuse Me Associating With Not Only The Demonic Forces That Follow Him But Also Piper McLean
Percy tweets out a picture of the 7, featuring Leo and Piper hugging and looking like best friends. Leo responds with a Joanne the Scammer gif and also goes quiet on twitter but keeps making ridiculous conspiracy videos lmao
On screen: ‘Hey, Paul, the internet thinks I’m in league with supernatural forces. What do you think about that?’ *camera slowly zooms in on Paul’s tired face as he looks up from reading a book on the Greek god Poseidon*
everyone realizes one of Percy’s mortal friends from school is also a youtuber so they BOMBARD him and he’s just like ‘Listen Percy just….fucking lives like this. he’s not planning anything. He disappears all the time and comes back covered in burns. one time I went in his apartment without calling first and he met me in the living room with a shield and a sword. Sometimes carriage horses in the city get loose and just follow him around and he holds conversations with them. I think his dad is in the mob. He just lives like this. We just got used to it’ sjkdgkjldsklsd
Percy posts a video called ‘skateboarding down my camps climbing wall!!’ and every comment is ‘WHY IS THERE L A V A?!?!?!?!?’
A video where he sees just How Much he can annoy Chiron and Mr. D before he gets threatened with dolphin-ism. It doesn’t take long, but everyone ignores the guy with glowing eyes yelling about how he’s going to change him into a sea creature in favor of focusing in on the fucking leopard head mounted on the wall that’s moving, roaring and being fed snacks???
Rachel goes into Oracle mode and gives out a prophecy in the middle of a live stream and Percy just sighs in annoyance while all the viewers are flipping out like hello isn’t she one of the richest people in the world???
the viewers start trying to decipher the prophecy like they think it’s all planned and Percy’s just slowly dropping some lemony snickett bullshit on them
his videos are ALWAYS trending and he’s one of the most popular vloggers and it’s so funny because 90% of the videos are literally just ‘taking my sister to the park!’ ‘date night with my girlfriend!’ ‘swim team awards ceremony!’ ‘I forgot to study for my history exam!’ like just. the most fucking generic but people are sucked in lmao
He does monthly q&a’s but they mostly go the same way the original one did
‘what’s with the fucking guy who’s half donkey???’ ‘Grover identifies as a goat, actually, please be respectful of that in the future’
‘who’s that fucking kid that crying on your couch that you ignored the whole video’ ‘that’s actually the Greek god Apollo, he was upset because I wanted back the Led Zeppelin shirt he stole from me’
‘am I crazy or was there a 7 foot tall guy with one eye walking around the kitchen eating peanut butter out of the jar’ ‘that’s my baby brother Tyson :)’
‘your friend said your dad’s in the mob but we’ve never seen your father on this channel where is he???’ ‘he, uh…….lives with the fishes?’ (Annabeth groaned at that one lmao)
‘you really vlogged getting struck by lightning and not going to the fucking hospital, huh’ ‘don’t worry, that was just my cousin, she was mad because I stole her nail polish earlier but she wouldn’t kill me over it’
COULD YOU IMAGINE HIM POSTING A VIDEO WITH THE PARTY PONIES AND TITLING IT ‘I ACCIDENTALLY GOT DRAGGED TO FURRY CON’
but overall: Youtuber Percy™ is, in fact, the only valid thing that exists thanks for coming to my TED Talk
I think if you asked Percy what his favorite animal is he’d be like ‘oh! definitely my buddy jeff! :)’ and then pull out his phone and show you a selfie of him in the fucking midnight zone smiling next to the most terrifying and fucked up deep sea creature that scientists literally haven’t discovered yet
I love cryptid!percy more than anything. I wanna see someone live streaming another exploration into the marianna’s trench and the camera pans to show percy visibly smoking a joint rolled in seaweed. he gives a ‘sup nod to the camera.
okay, but percy being poseidon's kid gives him so many advantages that we probably never thought of. like, this boy can probably chew ice like it's no one's business, and not hurt his teeth. he can probably drink straight from the ocean without having to boil it beforehand. he has never choked on his spit in his life. he can probably run on wet, slippery floors and not fall. like, the possibilities are endless. i deadass would love a list.
random percy headcanons:
wants to be the photographer friend SO bad and he technically is but like 70% of the pics come out blurry or weird bc there was a monster attack in the middle of them. his instagram is truly so chaotic looking.
literally always has seashells on him someone will ask him for a pencil or spare change and he has to empty all his pockets of shells to find it. drops his backpack and a bunch of shells fall out. kicks his shoes off and sand and shells fly out and his mortal friends are like percy What the Fuck
his eyes glow underwater!! bioluminescent king. no one told him though and he didn't find out until he joined his school's swim team and terrified everyone (he managed to convince them his contacts were having a weird reaction to chlorine lmao)
he really likes art!! he doesn't just pretend to for rachel's sake he genuinely enjoys painting with her. he likes splatter paint, collages and pop art styles the best. one day after splitting some edibles they realized percy could manipulate water colors and went CRAZY with it
will ask to be excused during class and comes back like an hour later with scorch marks all over his face bleeding from one of his ears covered in dust missing three fingernails rips in his jeans and a fat lip and the teacher is like percy what the actual hell were you doing in the bathroom all this time and he's just like uhhhhhh I have ibs
the brand from camp jupiter did unfortunately (for sally) Unlock something in him lmfao he keeps getting shitty little tattoos. usually stick-n-poke but someone's friends cousin's girlfriend's brother has a gun that gets brought to parties every now and then. most of them are sloppy but you can tell what they are HOWEVER he has one that was supposed to be a seal that came out looking like one of those shitty ms paint crying memes. annabeth laughed at him for ten minutes straight when she saw it.
he wanted to dye his hair blue but he was too chicken to bleach his entire head so he just did the tips. his hair is curly though so it looks absolutely ridiculous but he loves it
percy and annabeth get a crusty little yappy white dog in college and he carries it around like a baby lmao
back to his chaotic instagram, he's got so many pics of him like, relaxing at the bottom of the mariana trench or hugging a giant squid or riding on a whale shark and his mortal friends all think he's just really good at photoshop and this is a very specific bit he decided to commit to. they're always like lol percy where do you even FIND these pictures are you subscribed to like scientific journals for the laughs? but no he just took them all on his shell phone
has an ongoing prank war with annabeth's little brothers bobby and matthew but like it's Unhinged. they're playing 5D chess and she has no idea whats going on
weird tshirts!!! he loves them! like
shit like this or those 'women want me fish fear me' shirts, anything with a funny or incomprehensible slogan is going in his closet right along with his band tees lmfao
bought estelle a panda pillow pet when she was born 🥺
can NOT bring himself to eat seafood no matter how many times poseidon has told him its fine. he's like NO these are my FRIENDS JONATHAN WAS TELLING ME ABOUT HIS GRANDDAUGHTERS WEDDING LITERALLY YESTERDAY WHY IS HE ON A PLATTER DAD. they had to give up and just start eating normal land food at the palace every time he comes to visit lmfao
gets into horsegirl antics with hazel she NEEDS to know everything the horses have to say. they spend hours gossiping in the stables.
movie nights in the poseidon cabin were 10000% a thing and when he was missing annabeth and thalia and grover (and a few others) would still sleep in there every now and then and talk about how much they miss him :(
percy and beckendorf had the worlds most elaborate handshake
he DOES impulse buy stuff just because they're ocean-themed. stuffed animals, home decor, school supplies, clothes, you name it he bought it if theres like a fish on it
has more scars from crashing off his skateboard than he does from monster attacks
grover is somehow the only person who's ever noticed percy is severely claustrophobic
has a deep passion for adele. I can't explain this one I just feel and know it to be true.
he and annabeth both proposed to each other at the same time and they were SO mad about it they kept yelling over each other's speeches lmao
he can SING but he doesn't know it. sally keeps trying to record him singing to himself but something always happens to the camera and she loses the evidence
called chiron a brony one time and mr d thought it was so funny he was nice to percy for an entire week
the camp keeps trying to convince him to teach sword fighting lessons to the younger kids but he can NOT bring himself to swing a sword at a 9 year old so he keeps getting injured
has the most complicated iced coffee order in the world his go-to local coffee shop finally just put the damn drink on the menu and named it after him
he IS the quiet kid in the back of your math class that always has his hood up to try and hide his headphones and eats increasingly elaborate meals out of his backpack when the teacher isn't looking. one time someone caught him with a rotisserie chicken in the middle of a geometry final.
he argued that he DID have enough to share with the class
currently obsessed with the image of him knocking back a container of sea salt as if it was a shot and his mortal friends being like hey! what the actual fuck! and he's just like uhhhhh anemia kills!
its his birthday<3
it’s so scary that fish teeth sometimes look like people teeth. you’re not supposed to have that. well maybe piranhas are scared of us having piranha teeth. i will reflect on my human centric worldview (folds my hands behind my back and gazes out at the horizon)
Percy starts the chalice of the gods with the unwavering certainty that he is majoring in marine biology. It’s the only subject he ever excelled in at school, when he walks into the admissions office the interviewer doesn’t even ask what he wants to do, just checks the box for the courses on marine life and tells Percy that he’ll be amazing. Because he’s the son of Poseidon and how can he not be?
And he’s not even mad, because he loves the ocean and the creatures that come with it, it’s his “domain” it’s the thing that makes him special and it’s given him the life he has now. He has very few things that he loves that he can’t attribute to the sea.
Then suddenly he running around the country, trying to find this stupid chalice for these stupid gods who have clearly never cared for him in the slightest, because he’s two wars deep at this point and apparently “saving incompetent deities from their own mistakes” isn’t a good enough skill to put on a college application.
He’s in the middle of his quest, cursing the sky and wishing - not for the first time - that he was a normal kid, enjoying his last summer before adulthood, when he comes face to face with a young kid.
He’s maybe 7 or 8 and fresh onto the streets having just run away from his parents, he sees things, monsters and creatures that his mother and stepfather just don’t understand. He’s scared shitless, all on his own and he’s pretty sure he’s going insane.
Percy looks at this boy and sees for the hundredth time how the gods seem to ruin everything they touch, from entire countries falling to wars and disease, down to little kids - who are scared and alone in a world that will never understand them.
He tries not to feel guilty when Grover leaves to take the boy to camp, he ignores that it feels like a pig to the slaughterhouse.
Whatever, he’s got a quest to complete. The gods “guidance” brings them to a harbour and Percy has to go diving through the water because he’s the son of Poseidon and what else is he going to do.
The water pressure feels crushing and the fear of drowning is almost unbearable, a school of fish swim up to him.
They call him the son of Poseidon and Percy struggles to feel pride in the title. It’s what monsters call him before they meet the sharp end of a sword. It’s what Gods call him when they want to be condescending. It’s what an admissions officer calls him when she signs him up for a course that he’s not even sure of anymore.
He’s spent the better part of a decade being in his dads shadow, and he feels like it’s time to move into the sunlight.
They make it home in one piece (thank god) and Percy steps back into the admissions office in New Rome.
He thinks about the boy who would probably still be on the streets right now if it weren’t for him. Magnus Chase living a life on the streets with no one to help him. Annabeth leaving her home with nothing but a baseball bat.
He thinks about his dad, who probably hasn’t spared a thought to him in months.
He signs himself up for the social care course, and steps into sunlight.
Hun explain More on your void experience tell me how exactly you asked the universe and what you said
I basically just repeated over and over again in my head for the universe to “take my hand and pull me out of my body” I kept saying it even as my hand was moving up.
It was also this really strange sensation like I could feel myself rising up out of my body in waves, I was sweating buckets and feeling like I’d run a marathon by the end of it.
I would also repeat more general affirmations like “ I am void” or “I am pure consciousness”. This helped more with concentration and gaining confidence.
Hope this is what you were asking for! Feel free to message me again 😊

tim finds every way to be the last laugh, the one-liner guy, the “unexpected, effortless, fan favourite™️”.

bruce and tim are having a tiff about who’s idea is better while jason’s reading “the metamorphoses - book iii 339-358” (narcissus).
everyone’s having a grand old time at a gala while jason’s at a table reading “vile bodies”.
damian’s in a mood and nobody’s picked up on it yet while jason is seen reading “american psycho”.
nobody can find steph and tim and jason’s sat literally reading the back of a “dazed and confused” dvd to get his point across.

Hey all! Been working on a little something to ease myself back into drawing Heartstopper pages. I’m so proud of this mini-comic! I hadn’t drawn proper comic pages for over six months and I’d been really worried that my drawing skills would have worsened in that time. But I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been with a mini-comic. Thanks for your support this year and I really hope you enjoy this little story.
