Guys I Posted Something (yeah That's The Post)

Had this idea for an AU eariler

Everything up to BoO is the same Percy awakens Gaea (but this time by getting a scar that looks like Luke’s) but this time, Percy ends up killing Gaea. He leaves and yk eventually he comes back. But he’s not the same and nobody can put their finger on it.

I can imagine getting these books in a third person pov with switching perspectives maybe. But the books would be Nico and Percy centric and the main theme would be about the cycle of violence. How Luke regardless if he knew or not passed it on to Percy, how Percy passed it onto Nico, how Nico broke free (or not?) from the cycle and how Percy thought he did, but really didn’t.

Percy basically becoming exactly what House of Hades set him up to be. Him not necessarily trying to overthrow the gods, but everyone’s concerned he’s getting to that point because of how similar he’s acting to Luke.

Nico noticing and trying to intervene, but of course Percy says he’s find, but Percy? He’s losing control. Now that he’s had time to process everything while he was gone, his powers have changed. How he can feel the blood of people and not wanting to. Maybe him getting help from a certain Titan: Oceanus to control it but Oceanus trying to do the same thing Kronos did to Luke, trying to control and manipulate him.

And maybe Percy is just too far lost in his own mind, in his own power he doesn’t even notice and now all the worst ugly parts of himself are showing.

And now? It’s up to Nico to help him. Because the other campers? They’re sort of scared shitless. Nico getting his first official quest and having to choose questmates that’ll stay with him till he end because Percy is just that important to him, to everyone.

I think maybe either a Nico, Will, Clarisse trio or a Nico, Clarisse, and OC trio would work.

Characters I feel like would show up regardless would be Annabeth sort of playing a supporting role as maybe the oracle was really specific on who was leading the quest so some of the main main characters who wouldn’t necessarily but scared of him have a reason to not be able to help him in the long term.

Idk I just think that the cycle in PJO is a fascinating thing and the parallels between Luke/Percy and Nico/Percy is too good not to get a book elaborating on that

May or May Not have been thinking about Monsterous/Eldritch Percy lately.

Yeah thats kinda the post, if i ever write Monsterous or Eldritch Percy I dont think I'd make him a full on monster nor would I have Annabeth break up with him (in a hypothetical post tartarus type thing) for wanting to explore his powers. She'd be scared of course but not of him more of for him. She'd probably more want to safely encourage it with restraints rather than just let him do whatever ngl.

Also thinking about a possible Monsterous/Eldritch Percy to just be a camp hopper which might happen with my (kinda) god swap AU. As I think Percy's 2nd godly parent if i ever give him one would be Dionysus or Hephaestus and they both give off like creepy type traits.

Dionysus with the god of madness thing and Hephaestus more so with his kids in Greek mythology.

He'd definitely be more creepy and ancient but maybe not like Mycenaean type I'm thinking. He's just a silly little guy at first glance and then all of a sudden you look him in the eyes and you can see pure chaos behind them. You can see the burning and flooding of cities in his eyes and you don't even realize it and it just unnerves you.

Also throwing around the idea of him just being a camp hopper. Maybe after an incident he went to camp fish blood after his more monsterous side started showing and eventually ended up at camp jupiter and then at camp half blood (but i do feel like his journey would have to start way eariler to fit all that ngl).

I'm also debating if I want to do a mix of PJO and HOO in terms of plot because like realistically I don't think I'd be committed enough to write all that. Maybe like Kronos is rising with the help of Gaea but maybe Gaea betrays Kronos in favor of her giant children?? I've been thinking about it lol and I'm not sure. Maybe Gaea has a disdain to Kronos because he hasn't really changed. He's still keeping people trapped and still trying to break the cycle of succession, he's trying to regress but she cant have that, she has to build new successors, she has to make children and naturally go through the cycle of succession.

So she intervenes in demigods lives. She's been slowly getting gods on her side, using them to make perfect soldiers (one of these being Percy Jackson??).

I can't think of a more in depth motivation for her ngl. The story would start maybe a year before the final battle of the prophecy. (Thinking of having to prophecy play out for them when Percy turns 18 and not 16 just so I can do more, maybe 16 they had what they thought was the climatic battle and it wasn't, I dunno).

Because I really like the idea of Gaea being a villain but the execution in HOO was kinda horrible not gonna lie.

So yeah, a buncha yap lol

My brain can’t stop thinking of AUs lol (Pt. 1)

An AU where Luke just has a feral group of Demigod kids when he’s found by Grover.

Thalia, Jason, Leo, and Annabeth are just chilling with Luke.

Luke being lets just say extremely most hesitant to join Kronos because he still has three insane kids to take care of.

But ultimately he does betray camp and it’s probably right around S.o.M when they find out it was Luke who poisoned Thalia’s tree.

Luke possibly trying to recruit them + Percy who has unofficially joined Luke’s band of kids (Jason joining??)

The titans curse with both Luke and Percy trying to get their hands on the Di Angelo kids (both of them getting one in the end? Luke getting Bianca and Percy getting Nico)

Bianca like, not dying lol.

Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth finally getting a quest, chasing a mysterious demigod through the labyrinth and in the end, the explosion of Mt. Helens, the demigod army invading camp, Jason becoming the host for Kronos, possibly trying to revive some other titans in the same way as well with Luke and Bianca preparing to become hosts for other titans. Bianca not feeling right about joining Luke anymore and leaving after seeing her brother nearly killed by Kronos and his army.

The Last Olympian with Percy having to fight Jason, one of his first friends at camp, a reminder of innocence and how easily Percy could’ve been Jason after his mother died.

Leo finally stepping up from the sidelines with newfound courage to fight Kronos, especially after the death of Beckendorf.

Luke and Annabeth finally coming face to face properly. Annabeth facing the Titan that’s inhabiting Luke’s body, and Luke’s death (which I imagine be very similar to canon especially because he’s not Kronos host).

Bianca and Ethan coming face to face (who probably have a very interesting history). Ethan’s revenge and Bianca just wanting to save her brother.

Having a way more deadly and bloody battle of manhattan than in canon.

The death(??) of Jason and the getting together of Percy and Annabeth after the final battle finally allowed them to push through their final obstacle in the way: themselves and their grief.

The Lost Hero when Percy goes missing after all they’ve been through and Annabeth doesn’t have anybody left except Leo (and Nico to an extent). When these mysterious demigods shows up and nobody knows why.

The Son of Neptune when Percy has been wandering for months only remembering a set of blonde hair. When he gets issued on a quest with nothing except two random demigods and his instinct.

Mark of Athena when the seven has finally formed (thinking Nico, Frank, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, and two other demigods). When wisdoms daughter finally has a prophecy on her shoulders when she walks to her death.

House of Hades when Percy falls alone because he doesn’t want Annabeth to die down there in the horrors of Tartarus because enough people have died already.

Blood of Olympus when Percy deals with the aftermath of his journey, when Gaea’s secret weapons: Hazel and Piper are finally revealed, when Gaea is hoping to get the true seventh wheel, the strongest demigod of the era on her side. When Percy takes on the prophecy himself because the Battle of Manhattan can’t happen again (he still has nightmares about everyone who died).

lol I dunno just a thought, those two other characters would probably be ocs because

1. Hazel probably would never be found by Nico because of when Bianca dies and how old Nico would be and how he understands.

2. Piper doesn’t have a reason to be loyal to the demigod world if/when she’s found. There’s no Leo or Jason for her. She’s alone and as far as she’s concerned she’s always been alone. Why not join Gaea and bring out the system that had a part in her staying alone.

As for the plot of HoO itself I wanna change it a little cuz ngl it’s kind of basic lol. One of the major problems is that Gaea doesn’t have a reason for her actions that really makes you think like Luke’s did imo. Could have her embrace the “mother” part of Mother Earth lol.

Maybe she’s mad because the children of the earth, her children have been disrespected and abused for too long, pawns of the gods, maybe on this timeline when Kronos tried to recruit her (which I think he did?? Not sure) she wasn’t able to reform fast enough and her actions are driven by the guilt of the grieving mother who wasn’t able to protect her children in time idk just SOMETHING to make her not one dimensional and boring lol.

I probably wouldn’t write this but it would be cool if someone did.

My brain needs to STOP giving me ideas cuz bro.

I’ve been watching Arcane and I have a few more episodes left and tell me why all of a sudden I’m starting to write a fantasy esk AU help.

Anyways, the Spiderman AU is going to get a new chapter soon. I just have to get the energy to get on my computer to post it.

Unfortunately none of the AUs I write will be short because I don’t think I have that capability within me to do that so.. yeah.

Look forward to that maybe? But just keep in mind my next posts on ao3 will most definitely be straight Spider-Man AU chapters.

An AU I might actually write pt. 2 (I have too many thoughts)

I’ve always wanted to write atleast one historical pjo au and lowkey I want to write maybe like a WW2 Au.

Would they be demigods? Probably. Why? Because it makes things more interesting lol. Double the trauma. World War 2 is probably one of the wars I have the most information on. It would probably go from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the bombings and then maybe a few chapters of the aftermath.

Also the Roman v Greek thing would be cool (atleast I think they fought in ww2 I forgot it was either ww2 or civil war).

Honestly I wish I could just think of something and it would just apparently on the paper fully written lol. There also aren’t a lot of ww2 historical aus.

Now the big question is: Should I write this?

I have returned and I finally have a concrete story I want to use for my PJO AU

I’ve even made designs for the characters which I’ll probably drop whenever I drop the series. But I actually rlly like the plot and it’s a bit less complicated than my other things I have going on at the moment lol.

I don’t want to say much because they’ll have there own rant posts and what not but I think I’m cooking chat.

As for everything else? Uh well consider them on indefinite hiatus. I won’t delete them but the series will be marked as done on ao3.

Thinking about my Robin AU, the origins of Percy, etc.

I wanted to play around with Percy being an experiment of some of the dark multiverse Batman variants because like, why not yk? I wanna do something different for once. And so I'm thinking maybe he was experimented on. At first he was a normal kid, but after losing his mom the dark knights found him and Barbatos decided Percy would be perfect, being as he was so very similar to Bruce. Percy had everything a kid could want, despite not being rich, despite his shitty step-dad. But he made one kid mistake and now his mom was gone and he was stuck living to his step dad. Until the Dark Knights found him and took him in under the guise of helping him, but they experimented on him instead and turned him into a weapon (Damian vibes, ikr?)

And so he's found, saved from whatever hellhole he was in, and naturally he has no idea how to act. So he studies Bruce Wayne, looks him up, and everything is sort of ranging from fake smiles to crazy ass "drunk" shit.

So naturally, Percy follows that example and after a few years, which is when the story takes place he's become a bit of a party animal and nobody can really stop him. And the only time he isn't taking like that is when he's Robin, which Bruce sort of did as a way to ground him.

Now whenever people think of the "angry" robin, that's basically what Percy is. He's sort of bitter, and has been for a while so he uses Robin as an outlet. That's not saying he isn't nice or kind, he is. Just generally to other members of the Bat fam like Jason or Dick, someone who can sort of understand.

Anyways, Percy is very emotionally driven.

I've been thinking about other characters and I think I want Grover to be his speedster. Grover would be the new speedster chosen by the speed force after the retirement of Barry Allen (I dont read alot of flash comics so apologize if i get some stuff wrong with these super heroes). Grover would be one of the people Percy is actual open with and they're essentially best friends. Percy is there for Grover when he has trouble being a hero (as Grover would be the least experienced) while Grover is there for Percy when he's essentially drinking and partying himself to death and helping him get back on his feet.

Next up we have our Kryptonian, who is apart of a lineage who left Krypton thousands of years prior to the explosion. Their family has been living at the same planet for a while now, but he's bored. He wants to go out and explore what other planets space has to offer and ends up on Earth. Now, I actually have zero idea what character I want to make this because I wanted to make Thalia, Jason, and Reyna amazonians, which Jason being similar to Diana's brother (of the same name funny enough). He wouldn't be fully Kryptonian and would have some distant blood of other alien species from prior to them settling on whatever planet, but no crazy powers besides typical Kryptonian powers for now. So uh comment any ideas you have.

Now the next member is a Martian which would be Frank. I feel like Frank fits this role perfectly ngl. A Frank who's finally completed his training and joins Percy's hero team to prove himself.

Either Thalia or Reyna as the Amazonian, but probably Reyna. I don't know much about the wonder woman comics sadly so I'll have to come up with a backstory later.

Connor Stoll, seeking to break free from the Arrow Family, specificially his older brother, Travis and finding himself, leading him to joining this young superhero team.

And finally Annabeth Chase, who is more of an honorary member rather than anything. I think I want Annabeth to be possibly Batgirl?? I haven't though it out. Maybe she's a legit child of Bruce and was Robin prior to Percy and after the role of Robin became vacant but got seriously injured which led to Bruce essentially firing her.

Annabeth eventually becomes a vigilante in her own right regardless, even despite Bruce trying to keep her away from that life and steps up when Robin vanishes.

Anyways I was thinking about names bcuz there's no way I'm using Teen Titans. Maybe Outcasts (Or is it too similar to the Outlaws??)

I feel like I'm gonna have ALOT of fun with this and I think I'm gonna start writing it rn. Luckily for me I don't have to put alot of elaborate plot into this because its legit comics, but I do want to have some plot in here.

Anyways, coming soon than you think so, be on the lookout.

Thinking about Percy’s time at CJ and CHB in my AU and ever since I learned this fact I can’t stop thinking about it.

So essentially in the Iliad Achilles throwing around (for lack of better term) Hectors body after his death essentially meant in Ancient Greece customs that he wouldn’t be given a proper burial and so his soul would never reach the underworld which is why they were so adverse to the sea because it was seen as a something that would swallow them whole, that would take their bodies so they would never be found. And essentially it means you’re in a way “forgotten”.

So I’m just thinking about on top of how CHB treats big three kids how this could make his experience even worse.

Because in CJ he doesn’t really feel like he belongs. He doesn’t really fit into the society he has and he tends to break a lot of rules by just being him and eventually just sort of conforms to their society, especially in the face of the psychological abuse of his mentors (Luke and the Praetor before him which I swore I gave a name).

Not to mention he’s also sort of the mediator between the Roman gods and CJ as they typically don’t come directly. He also becomes the champion for Jupiter and is able to use and channel his domain through his weapons but he doesn’t ever really feel loved by any of the gods as if they were family. Sure they favor him (most of them, Jupiter likes him but his brothers and sisters don’t, not really) but it’s not really familial love.

At CJ he’s reluctantly respected and more so feared than anything. They just know power and bow in the face of it.

Then he goes to CHB. Everyone there is so different, they’re more free. They sit at a campfire and roast marshmellows. They get to be a kid, which Percy has a hard time adjusting to. He tries to let his walls down, to act like the Greeks because he doesn’t hate them, not really.

But besides people such as Annabeth or Grover or Clarisse (just to name a few) they don’t seem to like him either, and instead they punish him. He learns about Thalia and thinks that he just has to be like Thalia right? He’s been conforming his entire life so he just has to do it again and then they’ll like him, right?

No matter what Percy does, the camp is still unnerved by him. Because he isn’t a child of Zeus, sure he’s a champion of Jupiter, but a title like that isn’t respected or acknowledged, not to the Greeks and Jupiter can only help so much when he isn’t in Roman territory.

By the end he loses Jupiter’s favor and he’s given a lot for the camp, and they try to like him, but he’s still a Roman. He’s still going to do things that seem to Roman and militaristic for their liking because that’s how he was raised since he was oh so young, he can’t help it, not really.

So by the time the war with Kronos ends, he’s sort of like a rolling stone. He doesn’t fit here nor there. But he has his friends and for now, it’s enough. He has his amazing girlfriend Annabeth, his best friends Grover, Jason, & Clarisse. He has Nico who he made amends with and is getting treated way better than he ever did (because he’s Greek through and through?) and he’s happy. Sure Gaea is still out there scheming but for now he just gets to rest.

And then one day he wakes up in chains trying to figure out where he is.

Part 4 of my AU is out now

so fast I know lol, I was on a role yesterday and today

Currently writing Percy and Jason's only scene pre-HoO part (which is coming real soon, maybe one or two parts until it kicks off)

And I'm not the best at first scenes but I think I did pretty well. I decided I mainly wanted Jason to be a hand to hand fighter, mainly like a MMA fighter. He's like a wrestler, boxer, and possibly a whole lot of other fighting styles mixed into one. Like he's decent with a sword or spear and whatnot, but hand to hand is where he really excels.

Meanwhile, Percy isn't all that great with hand to hand. Like he can throw some punches but his hand to hand combat experience are street fights, Percy fights dirty, especially if he has to fight without his sword. But Percy's most skilled with the sword.

And I can't wait to write how this'll effect their different encounters with different enemies in HoO in my AU.
