So true, that probably the reason I like the idea so much.
He would so do that if he found out he was a reincarnation, he would be questioning Ody, Pen patenting bc why would you let your kid dream of doing those things
Percy's biggest cultural shock is finding out most greeks dreamt of doing that too and Telemachus wasn't just insane 😂 He'd be so confused and super judgemental to Ody and Pen, who would probably just be amused that their son is contradicting himself so much. Percy would be even more appreciative of Sally, probably glad that out of 4 parents he at least has 1 sane one
When everything is all over Percy is just ranting to his mom about everything and thanking her for being sane and she just has a flash back to all the insane stuff she did as a kid/teenage and just agrees like yup im totally sane, I never done anything crazy, and Percy is instantly suspicious and Sally just caves, and tells him that she got his dad atendion same how
HAHAHA Percy lets it slide on the basis that Sally is the best and she gets privileges in everything
Percy finds out he's Telemachus, and his immediate thought to Ody and Pen is "that's why you're so parent coded!!!!!" He was so confused when these two random people started parenting him and actually managed to!!!
Percy picks up the Odyssey in hopes that either he finds that Ody isn't as insane as he thinks, or at least he knows why Ody is this insane. The result is Percy yelling a lot of times at Ody. The guy's fatal flaw is loyalty, he does NOT take well what Ody did. He'd probably manage to go to the underworld and yell at Eurylochus too if he wanted. The whole thing just cements his theory that Ody and Pen have questionable parenting, but he becomes less harsh at learning about the suitors and Calypso.
He finial finds out why Pen's disappointed face had the same effect as his moms
All my knowledge of the odysseys come form epic so i'm not sure Ody actually fights Poseidon in the book but is would be so funny if after reading the book and gets all the yelling out his system he is just o, no wonder I'm so down to fight the gods I got it from Sally and Ody. I think Sally would be willing to though hands with the gods if needed.
Sally would 100% she just doesn't because Percy has been fine at the end of every quest
HAHA now I'm just imagining Ody and Pen trying to recruit Sally into joining Gaia. Them bringing up all the points that got them to join, but Sally wouldn't fall for some since she has met Annabeth when she was younger and she does trust Percy to take care of himself. It'd be more of a clash of parenting styles than anything 😂
Percy would totally love the fact that his old dad fought his new one. Ody thought that Percy would get upset but instead he's bombarded by questions on how he did it and how did it feel. Percy loves Poseidon as much as he can but the guy's still a God.
Percy, upon finding out his old dad borderline tortured a god, runs with that and becomes even more chaotic towards the gods because now he has an EXCUSE!
Ody and Pen are just glad that their child is now having a bit more fun.
The beginning of the custody battle started as a recruitment speech. They latter worked out their issues but Sally is never letting them live down the fact they worked with Gaia
Poseidon is just torn between enjoying the chaos his son is bring or being mad at Ody for "corrupting" his child bc was bad with interacting with gods before but it is even worse now.
Athena not know how to react bc she cared for Tel, a lot but she treated Percy terribly just because he was a sea child but looking back she could she how similar the two of them are now that she stopped judging Percy based on his father. She doesn't know how to go forward but she will gets into fight with Poseidon over him "corrupting" Tel, with his blood, making the well behaved she knew and loved into this chaotic mess, Tel was always chaotic but couldn't show it a lot in the past but as Percy he free to act as he wants
Aww Poseidon and Athena are NOT sure how to feel about this. I think Athena would definitely feel guilty, since at the end of EPIC it's implied She continued on to try and make a better world with Tel, and now Athena had mistreated Percy and Percy is Tel and She isn't sure how to feel so she just blames Poseidon.
The fact that Ody and Pen worked for Gaia gets Sally more custody than them 😂
I think, though horrified at the fact their child fought Medusa at 11, Ody and Pen would be super interested in seeing Gabe's statue.
Ody is just super proud as he watches Percy throw down with the gods, because Ody himself always had to be respectful and couldn't say what he thought, but Percy definitely can. I think it'd heal something within Ody to hear his child insult the gods the way Ody always wanted to do, knowing Percy will never be killed for it.
Ody and Pen, when all of this is over, would take more time to actually see Percy for himself instead of simply 'my child', and i think they'd be really happy and glad that now Tel can be as chaotic as he wants. they're just glad their child doesn't need to hide himself anymore, and they do feel a bit guilty for only now realising with Percy that Tel was indeed chaotic he was just hiding. Ody and Pen wonder what other elements of his personality Tel hide because of his childhood or something and they promise themselves to be even better parents to their child.
Percy is just oblivious and living the dream. He'll throw down with the gods no problem now. He doesn't need to pretend to be scared anymore because one of his dad did that too!!
Athena just very awkwardly reaching out to Percy because she isn't going to waste this second chance now that she know about it, while cursing Poseidon out for almost making her miss it.
Percy showing Ody and Pen what spay paint is and the two of them painting gabe's statue, they wanted to break it but realized that his soul was still trapped in their and didn't want to release just yet. The could just tell because they were in the underworld for so long
Percy causing chaos for the gods because not only is he ready to throw down at a moments notice but he decided to get pay back for everything they put him throw by pranking them. They will never have a moment of peace while he still walks the earth as payment for making his life miserable. It turns into a bonding experience for him, Hermes, and Cabin 11. He was adopted after they find out he was technology related.
I been reading a lot of Apollo/Percy fics lately so now I'm just imagining some where down the line Apollo falling for Percy and after he realized that he just goes o shit I'm going to die. He was thinking about Percy's power and willingness to throw down with anyone buddy and general attitude toward most gods, the overprotective parents 1-4 (Paul is still too new to the scene for him to get a good read on so isn't counted), and what Athena and Hermes did to the last god who showed interest in Percy before the overprotective parents got on scene
Percy would be so confused but also i think gleeful and a bit happy that Athena is actually admitting her mistakes and reaching out. Poseidon doesn't even know he's being cursed. Normally that'd make a ping in his head like praying does but he's being cursed basically constantly ever since Ody and Pen came back to life so it doesn't hit anymore.
The Gods constantly watching their back to see if Percy is nearby 😂 Poseidon suffers as well but he's also proud of his child for messing with the other gods too.
Ooo i wonder if Ody and Pen slowly get better at seeing souls? Like it's an ability of theirs due to being revived due to unconventional methods (aka not the right way), they just couldn't before because they needed to train the ability in some way? I'd imagine they'd enjoy it, because Percy's soul probably reacts more to them than Percy himself, since souls can't forget. They would just be around Percy and watch his soul flicker around depending on his mood, but it always calms down with Ody and Pen. I think they'd feel happy, since even though they have their child back, it still feels incomplete since Percy doesn't remember his time as Tel. I think they'd find relief in the souls stuff.
HAHAH Cabin 11 IMMEDIATELY adopting Percy when they realise they're technically related. They will not accept any excuses of reincarnation. Once Hermes' bloodline always Hermes' bloodline. They definitely adopt Ody as well if he ever comes into the camp. The guy has to figure out how to deal with his whole cabin of tiny children hellbent on chaos. Pen is a smart woman and doesn't try to rell them in like her husband. She knows when she'll lose the battle so she just watches.
Apollo's only hope of survival is Percy liking him back. Otherwise man he will NOT get even a chance to flirt. Percy has a whole army of parent (or pseudo parent) figures and it is very obvious. I think they'd only let it slide if it was Lester!Apollo or just Apollo after the Trials of Apollo. I think at that point they'd consider his mentality to be close enough to mortal that he won't hurt Percy. They still wouldn't accept it though haha
lol, Poseidon is just so used to bring at he can't even tell anymore.
The gods did their best to try and give Percy PTSD and now he is returning the favor but with pranks. Poseidon maybe also be on the receiving end of send pranks but he is over joyed that 1) he can interact with his son 2) his son trust him enough feel like he can do this bc he sees this and thinks that Percy trust his dad ability to protect him from the other gods retaliation even though that isn't the cause
I think he would go to camp, either to meet Percy friends or to have a place where he could teach Percy archery. At some point I think he would realize that he isn't in charge any more and what ever mess the kids make isn't his job to clean up and start joining in on the chaos. Pen just pointing the kids in a direction, maybe a god she wants them to annoy, and just watches the chaos
That so cute, having Percy soul sort of interact with his old parents. Percy might slowly get his memories back now that he is interacting with people from his past live, it wouldn't be perfect but it would be something.
Ya Percy would 100% have to make the first move and even then they wouldn't want to accept it because Apollo lovers end up as plants a lot of the time and they would want to avoid that. But if Percy want Apollo and they trust Apollo would make Percy happy they would be let it happen, even if they hate it.
Aww I think Poseidon would just go more soft on Percy even if that isn't the actual reason, and spoil his boy ahaha. Man is just happy he gets to bypass Zeus' laws about interacting with your kids.
Pen points at a god and receives a multitude of salutes from cabin 11. They know who's in charge here!! Aw though i think Ody would love it, getting to run wild with chaos but also getting to bond with his son. I think since Percy is younger even if he regains his memories, his mind will still be as old as his body, so he still acts like a child. I think Ody would do everything he can to bond with Percy since he didn't have the opportunity to bond with child Tel.
Yess Percy starts making absent-minded comments that reference his time as Tel without realising and the couple is just ?!??!? While Percy's soul is buzzing happily like 'see what i did?? Aren't you proud?' Percy isn't even AWARE he's getting the memories of his past life, lol.
The moment they find out Percy flirted with Apollo they sit him down and have a talk (that definitely includes a PowerPoint explaining why ending up as a plant is not a good thing!). Apollo would be relieved but also insanely scared (because of the lovers-turned-plants thing he's got) and maybe at first he tries to distance himself from Percy (he knows he can't break up with him because Ody, Pen, Poseidon n Hermes would go after him) but he just gets an earful from Percy. Only after that does he relaxes and actually tries to work the relationship out without thinking about plant transformations.
He so would, Poseidon will probably never know if that is the case or not but that is what he is choosing to believe it is and will not be asking question that could burst his bubble, he is so happy he can interact with his kid and that is all he will force on
yup, I think Percy is still 16 when the giant war ends, either that or he just turned 17 and he will stay that age even if he gets his memories of being Tel back. Ody would take all the bonding moments he could, this is the youngest he as seen his kid and he isn't going to waste a moment, plus I think he would love making messes for the gods to clean up for pay back for everything they have put people through. Just him using his knowledge from being a king to have the kids make the biggest/annoying mess that Zeus would have to deal with since he is king of the gods
Percy would give them a heart attack doing that, and I love Percy's soul basically asking for praise for getting him to remember
They had to include the PowerPoint because they find out that a few other demigod have been turned into plants and that people were making jokes about who would make a better plant and what was the best plant to turn into ( I know that Nico was turned into a plant and Thaila of cause was a tree and I see them fighting over which plant was better and them pulling Percy in the middle and it just turned into a camp wide debate with people trying to decide what the plant to turn into was and who would make the best plant) Health commination is key and Percy is trying his best to work on that so he wouldn't let things go when he has the option to talk things out and it works
Aha Ody going out of his way to make the worst mess for Zeus is so funny. I think unlike their with Gaia Percy wouldn't try to get away from bonding moments, and will sometimes even seek Ody out when he has something to do that he thinks Ody will enjoy. It always makes Ody tear up a little seeing a young Tel come to him to hang out.
Yess! I imagine people's soul basically dogs, so i think Percy's soul regardless of past lives is still the most loyal to Ody and Pen, which is why it's doing that in the first place. I just love the thought of while Percy sleeps his soul is just kind of "mulling over" different plans to make Percy remember that don't cause him pain or death, until eventually it comes up with just unlocking the memories slowly without Percy realising.
The PowerPoint gets heavily updated and now it's an intervention for all of camp. It just leads to another debate over who would make the most tragic plant. Aha yea Percy likes communication and he will make sure Apollo knows it, whether he likes it or not. Percy is determined to make this relationship work, since he understands Apollo's fear since it has actual backing.
Definitely, Percy would go out of his way to include Ody if he thinks the men would like whatever he was doing and Ody tears up every signal time
Again that is so cute, now i'm just imagining Percy getting a very important memory back and his soul just pureeing and Ody and Pen have the impression that the soul is also purring even through they can't hear it
Just the demeter kids wonder if they could turn people in plants and start testing it on willing volunteers and the sides know have to include stuff about not turning your fellow campers into plants even if they ask. Apollo and Percy would be relationship goals because they would be one of the few couples in the godly world that actually commutate with each other.
Pen is just watching in the background, seeing her husband who has brutally killed 108 men, tear up at his little boy calling him over so Ody can teach him how to use a bow (Percy will still be useless at it even at the end).
Aha Ody and Pen completely clueless as Percy's soul practically becomes Argos when they're nearby. Poseidon can see souls since he's a god and before he finds out about the reincarnation thing he's so confused and upset/angry over why his son's soul prefers Ody and Pen over him. Maybe that's another reason on why Percy managed to stay hidden for so long~ Gabe's disgusting smell helped hide Percy's scent, but his soul itself revolted at the thought of being the child of his father's enemy and tried to lock up the demigod powers and smell too.
Demeter kids have to be given a separate PowerPoint on why something being consentual doesn't always mean it should be done. They, being the little shits they are, purposely misunderstood the intervention and go tattle to the rest of camp. It gets taken out of context and next thing you know half of camp thinks Demeter kids got a sex PowerPoint. It leads to jealousy and the other cabins demand they get a sex PowerPoint too.
Yess most of the gods are just waiting for this relationship to blow since Apollo doesn't have a good track record and are flabbergasted when it does actually work out. Percy and Apollo quickly become romance icons in the divine world with Aphrodite cheering them on. Ares gets sulky when he realises Percy somehow managed to get a healthier relationship than him, despite the fact that he's literally lovers with the goddess of LOVE (you'd think that means she knows how to work out a healthy relationship, but nope!).
Pen loves that Ody is warrior and still a dork, Ody would try is best to teach Percy but Percy is just bondon hope with a bow, the more he trains the worse it he gets and Apollo said that Percy wasn't cursed and everyone is just wondering what is happening because Percy shouldn't be that bad
oo, Tel is just spiteful, Poseidon made him lose out on having a dad so he would try his make Poseidon lose out on having a son. I imagine after their first meeting where Poseidon says that he is sorry that Percy was born it was easier for his soul to supresses his scent because all of Percy was up set at Poseidon making the job easier, but the more that Percy bonded with Poseidon or the more Percy had to use his powers the harder it was to suppress
The chaos the Demeter kids through camp into was impressive. The talk about why you shouldn't turn people into a plant got turned into a sex ed talk, they couple was happy to do so bc this something the kids need to know but are confused on how they got here. Just like Pen making sure that everyone has a weapon to use on mortals because they can just be as monsterous as real monsters and is yells at Chiron when he tries to say something about how hero's shouldn't harm mortals
Just a sulky Ares going to Apollo for love advise, he hates needing to ask to help but Aphrodite deserves the best and he will suck up to his brother to make sure she gets the best
Cabin 11 secretly creates a competition on trying to make Percy worse at bow (it isn't hard). It just sorta became another Percy Thing™ and Ody is just exasperated at the end of it, since even though he technically wasted his time he got to bond with his baby boy.
Ohhhh maybe, after meeting the parents and seeing them work for Gaia, Tel being a loyal soul tried to suppress the powers even more now. The soul kind of gave up eventually on suppressing his powers, but now that Ody and Pen are back it sees them working for Gaia and decides that Percy's ties to the divine by blood need to go! Maybe it would look like an illness, since part of Percy is being taken under. He's more dazed and sometimes forgets stuff, he gets a nasty fever and is basically on bed rest indefinitely. His soul only stops when Ody and Pen while talking to each other in Percy's room unintentionally give the soul the hint that they are loyal to PERCY and his ties to the divine through blood don't matter to them. I think Percy's soul would still try for a few more days, but now it'd give up and let the divine side of Percy stay around.
Ody and Pen quickly realise that demigods are practically ungovernable, and they just don't care. Camp is happy at getting a sex ed talk, since most of them were silently cautious over what their divine side would do during it. The PowerPoint has to be altered with Apollo's help based on divinity in sex and the camp leaves that presentation way more happy and less scared about sex.
Yesss Pen immediately gives them permission to harm mortals. Chiron means well but he's not human and will never understand humans, only demigods. He doesn't get how vile humans can be, Pen does. Camp is once again happy at having more weapons.
Aww I think that would help their relationship, actually. Maybe Apollo and Ares bond over wanting to treat their partners as good as possible and Ares starts going to Apollo for help, slowly becoming better and better for Aphrodite. I think it'd branch off from there and Apollo and Ares would start to actually enjoy each others' companies and think of the other as their sibling. They get to have a good sibling relationship❤️ Apollo makes sure to pull Artemis into it too and she becomes proper siblings with Ares as well. Percy is just glad Apollo is so happy.
Oooo, Grover seeing that Percy is sick and it just gives more evidence that the food was poisoned and he is coming up with the worst case possible for what happened and is just panic because it feels like Percy is being ripped in half and when everything is over and done he is just talking about Ody and Pen in a positive light and imagine the guilt Pen and Ody would get if they ever find out that their son felt like he had to change on their behalf and made himself sick because of them
Pen leading all the self defend class against the mortals and calls in Sally so she could give the camps tips on getting away with murder and just dealing with police in general, the mist is good and all but not everyone can use it
I head cannon that Apollo and Artemis are enteral teenagers because of their domain of protector of youths, and their need to relate to those under their protection is keeping them from growing up. I would love too see Ares and Apollo becoming close and Artemis being dragged into the sibling relationship and Ares just has this relations that his older siblings are teenagers and then he steps up as the older sibling and becomes super protective over them and Ares is super grateful that he went to Apollo that day
Haha yea i think that would lead to another talk about not changing for other people. Percy would take it to heart since he's grown to trust Ody and Pen but he's insanely confused since that whole thing happened with his soul and not consciously. His soul does note it down though!
The camp starts to have a weekly 'Crime day' where Sally comes in and teaches them how to avoid/run away from the cops, commit murder and gaslight and lie to cops in case during a quest the mist gets them into trouble with the law.
Ares would find it confusing and weird at first but quickly take over. i think that as the god of war, Ares also encompasses the aspects that lead to war/fighting, so he's really protective all-around. Apollo is just vibing with it, but Artemis is a bit disgruntled at being protected by a man since like most teenagers she feels she needs to protect her dignity in front of the hunters. Ares is really happy and grateful he has this relationship with them now, and he can't help but berate his past self whenever he was mean to them now that he knows their mental ages. Hermes gets dragged along too since he's one of the more childish gods and gets along splendidly with Apollo. Ares goes from being a grumpy, lonely guy with a lover to having a hoard of siblings and he can't help but adore it. Though i guess those three would certainly put him on his toes. He starts to go to Athena for help since direct violence does not work in keeping the three from chaos. Aphrodite cheers them on since she's loving this development. What's more romantic than building relationships with your kind-of estranged siblings in an effort to be a better partner? Percy is just watching from the sidelines and joining in sometimes, though at first i think he'd be protective of Apollo since he hasn't forgotten his first quest and what Ares did.
Percy would have no context for what brought up the talk but would vibe with it because that is good advise and his soul is slightly pouting because they know it is getting scolded even if their parents don't mean for it to come across as a scolding
I love Protective Ares!! I feel like he would start off more protective of Artemis because that is his little sister and he has to make sure that no creeps give her trouble but quickly realize that Artemis can take care of herself and his little brothers really need the protection more. Hermes and Apollo just keep on finding themselves in trouble, like Ares looks away from them for two second and they are gone causing a mess of some kind.
I love the idea of Ares going to Athena for help because at the end of the day they are both war gods and trust each other a lot.
Just Ares and Percy eyeing each other because they are both suspicious of the other but for different reasons. Percy reminds how Ares was on his first quest and wants make sure that Ares is being a good brother to his boyfriend. Ares knows that Percy dislikes that gods and that Apollo has a bad history with love and wants to make sure he wont break Apollos heart.
This is really random but I think Apollo and Artemis would have an one going game of tag going. Like it started when they were kids and just kept going thought out the years but on one knows about it until Ares caught them playing and was roped into it along with Hermes. So everyone once and a while Artemis or Apollo would sneak up on one of their brother and tag them before disappearing. After so many years of play the twins become masters of sneak attacks and now no one can tell when they are sneaking up on them.
Percy's soul did it's best and it doesn't like being scolded, since Tel absolutely was both a Mommy's boy and a daddy's boy that man did NOT get scolded even once. Anyways i think the soul would feel sad and just push Percy into remembering even more.
Yess Ares subconsciously tries to protect Artemis maybe because most war soldiers do it for their wifes/girlfriends/female family at home. He quickly realises Hermes and Apollo are the dysfunctional ones and try to rein them in (unsuccessfully).
Ares goes to Athena for help despite being disgruntled because it is legit impossible to stop Hermes and Apollo with brute force, and even then he refuses to hurt his siblings. Athena and Ares just become wine buddies and rant about whatever shenanigans their close friends/family have gotten to this time.
Percy is suspicious mainly because he still has a bit of unprocessed trauma from his first quest and it manifests as protectiveness towards his bf. Ares just remembers being uncomfortable whenever Apollo fell apart due to his latest heartbreak, even when they weren't close, and doesn't want to see it now that he's closer than ever with his brother.
Apollo and Artemis totally would. Maybe they only do it during dusks/dawns because it's the only times the sun or the moon can theoretically "touch" since they're both in the sky. When the others get added it becomes more complicated. Maybe they only tag Hermes when a bird is flying over the sky, and they only tag Ares whenever there's a fight (regardless of how petty it is, it can be children and they'll take it). Only tagging whenever there's a symbol of that god/goddess around (preferably in the sky).
Now i'm just imaging the soul being all sad and trying to make Percy remember as an way to say sorry and to make up with his parents.
They both love being wine buddies and get a chance to vent. It become the highlight of their week because Ares can finial take a break form trying and falling to rein his brothers and Athena talk about her weird emotion about Tel being Percy and all the chaos he is bring to the gods
i love the dawn/dusk thing!! They would have so much fun coming up with the new rules for the Ares and Hermes. I also think the twins would make a new game on who could jump scary the their brothers the most when tagging them. I can just picture Ares minding his own business, maybe he is on a date and Artemis just tackles him out of no where saying tag take before disappearing again Ares is just confused and slightly scared because he should of felt some her godly power when she was near by but he felt nothing. He thinks that it might just be something she gets from being the goddess of the hunt until Apollo does the some thing a week later
Aha yea Percy's soul is basically a puppy at this point. A puppy VERY loyal to Ody and Pen.
Yess they totally would. Athena starts to grow fond of Ares because for the first time she can actually rant about things without being interrupted and Ares will encourage her and even add to it.
The twins just slowly start making more and more games just to annoy their brothers. The jumpscare game works well for Hermes but Ares, being the god of war, doesn't jump or look surprised/scared (even when he actually is) so the twins never know when they manage to actually scare him.
Maybe it's due to their birth~ I don't know much Greek mythology, but i do remember Artemis and Apollo were born on a secluded island away from the power of the gods due to Hera trying to stop their birth. Maybe due to it they took in some of the abilities of the island itself and figured out how to hide their godly aura, or maybe their mother (who I'm pretty sure is a titan?) taught them because she was scared of what Hera would do to them.
Their wine time does wanders for Athena ability to work through her emotions and she is way better at understanding them and making other relationships in her life healthier.
They have thousands of years of sibling bonding to make up for, they will shower their brother with games, sometimes just to be annoying and others just to have fun. I can see Hermes trying to get back the twins for scaring them and it just not working and he always the one that gest scared instead.
Since Ares doesn't react it just adds fuel to the fire and the twins are even more determined to get him, and Ares is wondering if the two of them are trying to give him a heart attack. Gods can't get heart attacks but he feel like he will have one soon if this little sibling keep going with their jump scars
ooo, I love playing with the twins titan blood, since I think they are the only second generation god that has a titan parent, or at lest they are the only second generation Olympian that has a titan parent. I also live playing with the idea that Delos is somewhat alive and acted as parent for the twins. Like in time of danger Delos wont let the twins leave the island because the twins are the islands babies it doesn't want them to get hurt so it sort of keep them until the danger has pasted. So i can see the twins learning to hide so well in an attempt to the leave the over protective island or as it being a test they had to compete before they were allowed to leave the island
Everyone is so confused when Athena starts to actually be healthy in relationships and talk thing out😂 At this point Percy and Apollo's relationship is causing a domino effect.
Hermes tries to scare them back but is never successful, the twins have too much experience on their belt. But Hermes is also the god of tricks so undoubtedly he makes up new pranks or games to annoy Apollo and Artemis.
Ares doesn't react and the twins slowly rope more people into it. It starts with Hermes, then Percy because he still dislikes Ares slightly, then it goes to Aphrodite and Athena, and Mr.D and Ody and Pen and- so many people just start to try and make Ares jump in fear. it quickly becomes a betting pool aswell due to Hermes.
Yess The island is still around, so many sometimes when the twins go there to grieve their mom or just to get away from stuff it just kinda. Closes. As a sneaky test to see if their hiding skills are still up to the test. It may have been centuries since the twins joined Olympus but Delos still doesn't trust Hera.
Just Hermes seeing Athena admitting one of her mistakes, or seeing her talk to Poseidon in a positive way that didn't end in a fight and does a ward off evil sign because he thinks she is possessed when nothing happens he grapes Mr. D and Apollo to check her over to make sure nothing is wrong.
100% Hermes would def, come up with some way to get get back at the twins with sacring them doesn't work.
It suddenly seems like the whole world to out to get him, and that is most true because the twin have recruited basically everyone into trying to scar Ares. The betting pool is up in the thousands
Delso will never trust Hera, doesn't matter how much time has past it will always hate the goddess and do everything in its power to make sure the twins are protected form her. Just the twins accepting that their island a little clingy at times and just go with it no questions asked and makes sure to spend more time their to make it feel better.
ooo, random idea but when the island closes nothing can find it either. Like it closes so nothing can get in or out and by testing the twins it is also testing it ability to protect the twins but they don't realize that until they return to Olympus to find a panicked Hermes telling everyone the two of them are missing.
Like Hermes know the twins were on Delos and had some message to deliver to them but he couldn't find them or the island and just panics because that never happened before. He can find someone who has a message, the last time he failed to find someone with his domain was Pan and we all know how that ended so just instant panic from Hermes. It doesn't help that the had two wars happen a few years ago so that just adds to the panic because they can reasonably guess that on anther old enemy popped up and targeted the twins.
Hermes keeps spying on Athena for several days to see if there's truly something wrong. There is not. He is really confused and decides to do some sort of spy mission by hanging out with Athena more. It ends with Hermes getting adopted as a little sibling. he's honestly fine with it, he and Athena have already been pretty close ever since Odysseus lived because both wanted his good.
Hermes' new games actually manage to get back at the twins and then they all get stuck on a pranking war.
Ares is confused and slightly self-conscious. He asks if he did anything wrong and the twins are quick to reassure him and now he knows about the game. He's just amused now, if a bit cocky because these guys think they can make him jump? He secretly adds to the betting pool as well.
Delos is very clingy and completely unashamed of it. At least it means her babies visit often. The island will basically go into lock down mode bunker style if the twins are inside and it feels Hera even in the slight vicinity. Delos is not playing around!
That's such a good idea!!!! Maybe the twins are always gone for a few days or even a week or two because time passes differently in closed Delos, so the twins don't realise anything's wrong. Meanwhile Hermes broke into camp the minute he realised he can't feel the twins. It leads to a searching party of mainly gods (almost all of Olympus) and a few demigods. Percy would go NUTS that someone dared to target his boyfriend. Practically foaming at the mouth to rip whoever it was to bits but first he needs to find Apollo. Ody and Pen are worried and angry like everyone because they've grown fond of Apollo. Hermes spends half his time searching and the other half sobbing because the last and only time this has happened it was with a FADING god, one who really only held on for his successor. he's incredibly scared the twins are already dead and none of them even knew about it when it happened. The hunters are insanely angry. They already lost Artemis once when she was taken to hold the sky up, and now some unknown threat has taken their patron goddess again. They become even MORE protective of her, since she is probably younger mentally than almost all of the hunters.
When the island finally opens again Hermes just freezes and then instantly teleports to the twins, sobbing and hugging them. They're confused and slightly scared at first because did another enemy rise again? But nope, it was just Delos who accidentally caused a panic. Percy sees Apollo and just collapses in his arms. Literally, Percy hasn't slept in days and now that he sees his lover's safe he just passes out. Apollo and Artemis have to deal with a hoard of clingy family members/loved ones for a few weeks.
Hermes and Athena bonding over they shared care over Odysseus and just get into the grove of being siblings before Hermes drags her to the others.
Now I'm just picturing Apollo, Athena, and Hermes being surprising chaotic together, but in like a mad science type of way. Because Herms is an inventor one of the first thing he did was make the lyre and in cannon he made the internet. Apollo is the god of knowledge, Athena is the goddess of wisdom.
Hermes new games start a pranking war that seem like it will ever truly end, just like the twins game of tag. I think at some point it will spread to camp because cabin 11 will hear about it and use it as a excuse to prank people.
yess, healthy commutation!! Ares learned that is better to talk about things so he asked the twins about it instead bottling it up. After he finds out about the game he is amused but promised himself he would never let them know that they did in fact scare him even if he didn't react. He would so add the betting pool
I think Delos will go into lock down if the twins are inside and it feels like Hera is in the mortal world because I don't see her go into the mortal world unless it is to melt with things and Delos knows how dangers Hera melting is and wouldn't chance anything.
I love the idea of time passing differently, because we already know that time can pass differently in godly areas so it would make since if it work differently in a gods birth place. So the twins are just chilling in their homeland think its been like a week it turns out that it was closer to two months. Everyone that thought Annabeth was bad when Percy is missing are horrified to find out that Percy is 10x times worse now that Apollo is missing. But everyone is absolutely of the hunt because they went totally feral without Artemis around. Ody and Pen end up being Hermes main shoulders he cries on because he doesn't want to distract the others gods by going to them for comfort.
Apollo goes into concerned boyfriend mood and start checking Percy over to make sure that he is ok. When the whole thing is explained Hermes makes the twins promise to let him know if they are going to Delos so he would know not to panic. The hunt just refusing to let Artemis go anywhere alone. Like they insist that at lest two of them are by her side at all time because they refuse to lose her for a third time.
Also just Hermes following the twins around like a lost puppy and when he finally stops doing that he will randomly just reach out with his powers to make sure he could still feel them.
Yesss the godly sibling group grows bigger slowly and slowly.
They totally would. Someone built they a lab able to withstand divinity as a good will and now that the trio have access to human technology they go full mad scientists. The nymphs around mount Olympus just get used to random explosions and cackles.
Cabin 11 finds out and immediately start a pranking war with Apollo's cabin. Not even Ody and Pen can stop those two now. Nor can they stop more cabins from being roped into it.
Ares definitely wouldn't tell anyone. And yes!!! Communication!!! Ares gained Apollo as a brother because he started to take his advice and he will NOT lose his little brother by not following said advice! The betting pool expanded so much some monsters have actually added to it as well.
Maybe Delos has some kind of connection with the twins, even unintentionally, since it is their birthplace. Whenever Hera finds out about Zeus' newest lover and goes to the mortal world to have a meltdown, Delos just kinda starts pulsing with energy, almost like baiting the twins into coming there. And then it closes with them inside and only opens back up when Hera's done. If Hera's meltdowns last more than a few hours and turn into days then the twins will try to sneak out, because they know Hermes will probably try to sense them soon and panic since Delos' closed.
The Hunt basically hunts down ALL monsters in their path and ends them brutally in their quest to find Artemis. Percy basically does the same, and throughout the world the oceans are incredibly dangerous and erratic because of Percy.
Yesss Hermes just takes comfort in Pen and Ody, who don't mind it since Hermes was the god they thought most favourably of even in their first go at life. The couple just take that time and adopt Hermes like they did with Mr.D. this is their child now.
Haha Apollo is so confused when he gets back over why is boyfriend is full-feral, sleep-deprived and insanely overprotective of Apollo. Hermes and half of the camp + some of Olympus are just gonna crash soon because of the sheer relief so Hermes just makes the twins promise him that. Artemis can't even sneak out, there's always a hunter with her. She doesn't mind actually she likes her hunters, but it becomes a problem when she needs to go to her temple in Olympus, somewhere non-gods can't exactly reach. Aww poor Hermes~
Percy and The Hunt silently agree that the twins shouldn't go back to Delos. They're worried that a literal, immortal and divine island is able to trap them and they don't trust Delos. it leads to a field trip where Apollo and Artemis take Percy and The Hunt to visit Delos so they're less worried.
Olympus lives in fear of some of the things that could come out of that lad. They thought Hephaestus work shops were bad but now they also have to deal with this.
ooo, the lab is how Hephaestus gets added to the sibling group. He either heard about the lad and went to check it out or the three needed his help for a project and grabbed him. Now their are four mad scientists
They aren't exactly sure how monsters got added to the list but money is money.
ooo, I love the idea of Delos having a connection to the twins and Delos using it bait the twins into coming home. I think the twins would come up a kid of system, like only on of them going to check on the island at a time because they know it wont close without both them. It would make sure that someone could check up on Delos without causing a panic. Delos would hate it though because it want both of its babies safe not just one and just throughs the biggest fit that the other twin has to ignore or if it gets too bad they just inform Hermes they would be gone for a while so they could calm down Delos.
Just the hunt teaming up with Percy to find the twins and all the monsters are just terrified. News spread and monsters also start looking for the twins so they kill who ever took them for unleashing the unholy combination of a feral hunt and a feral Percy Jackson working together.
Ody and Pen adopted god number 2 and everyone is fine with it. Mr. D being a little shit and says this makes him older than Hermes since he was adopted first.
Their are a lot of talks about talking self care but both twins accept the overprotectiveness for a while. They understand that they worried everyone so they let everyone be clingily for a while. Artemis is proud of her hunt for being able to catch her sneaking out because it is proof of their skill but she is also slightly annoyed because she has godly stuff to do that could harm mortals.
Just Apollo and Artemis explaining that Delos is basically their other parent and that it some PTSD from Hera so it is super over protective of them. Percy telling Delos he would happily kill Hera if she hurt the twins and the Hunters just nodding in agreement and the twins not knowing how to deal with that because while they are touched that is the queens of the gods they are talking about, you can't just say stuff like like.
I don't now how Percy and the hunt would view the island after their field trip but I think Delos would see how much they care about the twins and how much the twins care about them and adopt them. So when the island bugs the twins to bring them back, so it can include them in the next lock down so Hera can't hurt the twins by going after their loved ones
The sibling group grows!!!!! I think Hepha would be super happy at even just getting lab partners. The guy got thrown out and regularly bullied for his "ugliness" i think he's desperate for companionship. The group is incredibly smart but most of the time they're just messing around in the lab and making explosions. Hepha is slowly indoctrinated into the sibling shenanigans and he just realises it when he's in a cuddle pile with everyone. He doesn't mind anyways he feels happy that finally he has a family.
Apollo staying behind while Artemis goes and Delos just throws the biggest toddler fit imaginable. It is NOT a happy island!!!
Haha the monsters turning on each other so maybe they can escape the wrath of a pissed off Hunt and Percy Jackson 😂
Mr.D totally would. I think Hermes is actually a bit oblivious regarding interactions, since he's usually so busy with mail he doesn't tend to talk for a long time and his domains that encompass social things are just too sneaky to be considered social (stealing) and insanely dramatic and loud so it can't be considered normal (idk about this one i just head canon Hermes as a theater kid). So he doesn't know how to deal with normal interactions and didn't know he was adopted until 3 months into it. Poor Hermes is a little confused.
Yess the twins are very proud of their loved ones but they have duties to tend to and everyone needs their alone time!
Haha Percy being told that the island has PTSD from Hera and sometimes kidnaps his boyfriend and his first reaction is to tell the island he can kill Hera for Delos. The Hunt immediately agree, they've always been pretty pissed off at Hera in general for her thing to put the blame on mortal woman who didn't know who Zeus was and that he was married instead of Zeus himself. The twins are both gleeful because they do NOT like Hera but they know petty is her whole being and don't want Percy and the hunt to be saying stuff like that.
Ahaha Delos decides everyone needs to be protected and Percy tenses up immediately at suddenly feeling an energy pulse. He's insanely confused, suspicious and a bit fearful because he initially thinks another bad being has risen. Apollo quickly notices Percy feels it and explains it to him. Percy is just relieved and a bit smug that his "mother-in-law" wants to kidnap/protect him from Hera after only meeting once. The Hunt is confused but Artemis brings them along and they just kinda spend the time hunting down monsters that sneaked into Delos. Delos is very happy because i think those monsters would be like bugs in a dog's fur for her.
100% I think he would be so happy that has people to share his creations with and have people to experiment with that he missed any signs of being indoctrinated into the sibling shenanigans until the cuddle pile. I feel like he and Apollo would be everyone else's personal heater bc sun and fire god.
Just the next time Apollo goes home Delos is just checking him over for any injuries and isn't happy that she feels sickness on him and keeps him home longer then normal. Delos is just senses Apollo plague domain and Artemis has reashore to remind Delos that it was normal. For that point on, Artemis it the one to stay behind while Apollo goes.
I love Hermes being oblivious and that he didn't realized he was adopted. Mr. D would hold that over his head for the rest off for every and use it as an argument for way he was older. I agree tho Hermes is deff a theater kid, he either come into it on his own or Apollo rubbed off one him.
Delos just taking Percy and the hunt up on their offer because she wants Hera gone and the twins have to stop them for murdering the queen of the gods. As much as they hate Hera it would cause a lot of problems if she would go missing. Sadly Percy would be the first people suspect because 1) it is well known how much he dislikes her 2) because he is probably powerful enough it do it, 3) he has no fear of the gods and is one of the people everyone knows who would willingly do so
ooo, I imagine that nothing can get Delos without their say so, so what if the monsters on it is their for enrichment. Like Delos lets a few monsters in because she knows Artemis like hunting them and it doesn't bug them that much.
Yesss more sibling shenanigans!!!! Hepha would just cry when he realises he now has a family and gets immediately comforted by everyone. He's just glad he finally has people who actually like him :') The siblings decide that Apollo is the sky heater and Hepha is the power heater (a reference to the lab) and somehow the nicknames stick.
Haha Delos knows it just wants an excuse to keep Apollo 😂 it's still not very happy that Artemis stays behind but eventually it gets used to it.
Completely!!! Everyone is confused on why the god of theft is oblivious to social interaction. It leads to Ody and Pen limiting the time he can do his job like parents limiting their child's screen time. Mr.D would lord it over his head for the following centuries but i think he'd quietly make a few comments to Hermes about the body language others are showing so Hermes can learn since Mr.D is the god of mental health and he knows his stuff.
Yes. It doesn't matter that his domains are sneaky he is 100% a theater kid. Apollo is just watching from the sidelines with a proud smile. He made that theater kid!!!
Haha the twins have to make a powerpoint for Percy, the hunt and Delos over why killing Hera is bad and would lead to a lot of problems. They're still very much wanting by the end of it but everyone gets how worried the twins are so they back off (Delos would still kill Hera if she stepped into it no questions asked).
Oooo!!! That's so sweet actually. Like Delos letting a few monsters in 'as a treat' for the hunt. Artemis is just exasperated at this but the hunt think the monsters got into Delos without it's permission and take the hunting so serious it's adorable for both Delos and Artemis. The two silently make a pact to not tell the hunt Delos is just giving them stimulation for when they visit.
Hepha would love the nickname because he see it as the act of love it was. I think he would would give gifts so show his love and now all the siblings have a pet robot version of their scared animal.
It is super unhappy that it can't pull the same trick on Artemis and has get used to it. Maybe Delos holds a slight gurade against Hermes because she knows her babies are doing this for his peace of mind.
Ody and Pen forcing Hermes into a better work live balance and not taking no for a answer!! Ture sibling love, not letter them live something done but helping them at the sometime.
Someone maybe Ares sees Apollo watching from the sidelines with his proud smile and accuses him of corrupting Hermes and then goes on to grumble about how many theater kids there are in this family
The twins seeing how powerpoints worked for Ody and Pen and took a page out of their book.
Now I'm just imagining Delos trying to entice Hera into stepping foot on it so it could kill her. Because before she was just trying to protect her babies but now she knows that murder is an option and knows that she could get away with it. I think if Hera did step foot on Delos without permission it would broke some kind of rule and that would allow for retaliation. No one would believe that Hera would have gotten permission and would just have to accept that Hera's melding finally got her killed.
The hunt thinks that every time Delos calls from them it is for monster removal and are happy to comply with the up most seriousness and Artemis and Delos are just watching them while cooing since they think it is adorable.
That's actually really adorable a bunch of robot animals following their respective gods around awwww. The group would definitely give Hepha gifts back and they all just get stuck on a loop of gift giving but no one minds.
Hermes feels the ping in his head that indicate he's being mildly cursed and is confused when he can't sense any location.
Yess!!! Ody and Pen are wonderful and Hermes definitely tries to convince them but it's for nothing. Hermes definitely has some issues so i think he just. Wouldn't know what to do in this new free time. It just leads him into a breakdown because he's the god of tricks but he doesn't know what to do in his free time. Mr.D and the couple comfort him and help him find a hobby.
Haha Apollo is the ultimate theater kid-maker and he makes sure everyone knows it. Ares is grumbling but doesn't mind it (much).
Powerpoints: the ultimate tool for the divine and divine-related
Haha Delos has been passive all this time but now it has chosen VIOLENCE. Hera is unfortunately smart enough to figure it out. She yells at the twins to control Delos but doesn't go anywhere near the island anymore. Delos just wants to kill Hera more because she yelled at the twins. Percy for once isn't bloodthirsty but he does make sure to push a few pretty mortal woman into Zeus' view. What Zeus does isn't his fault but......
Yess The Hunt thinks they're pest control but they're really just a group of cute kittens chasing a toy mouse. Artemis and Delos 100% stand back and watch the group go at it, it just endears them even more to Delos.
I think that the gifts would range from cute and thoughtful to unhinged. Like, Apollo giving his siblings art pieces and them on day done out of the blue he gifts them plagues to unleash on their enemies. Hepha giving more robot animals or other cute creations and then one day handing out death rays like their candy.
100% Hermes hasn't had a break in how knows how long, he has no idea how to spend his free time. I think Pen would get teach Hermes weaving and he would really enjoy it and it could turn into a bonding active between him and Athena.
Apollo leading his minny army of theater kids (camp half blood) to war ( to prank the gods) with a smile. Ares would be fine with all theatrics if it didn't get his siblings in so much trouble
The only thing in the known world that get though to those with in the divine world.
I don't think Hera would know that Delos is alive, like until the twins went messing sending Hermes into a panic they thought Delos was just a normal island and I don't think Hera would care enough to get the full details. She Hera would think the twins were up to something and tell them that she wasn't stupid enough to full for any of their tricks and Delos feels sort of guilty because it got the twins in trouble but even more blood thirsty because Hera yelled at the twins.
I don't think Percy would push people onto Zeus because no one deserves to be in Zeus's line of sight, but he would deff do something to get back at Hera.
Just while Percy and the hunt are on Delos at the same time, Percy would join in and Apollo joins Artemis and Delos. Percy and the hunt bonded during their search for the twins and this probably the only chance to hang out without everyone being judgey and asking questions
Haha the gift range is impossibly wide and them being all gods they don't know what's normal or not, so now everyone in the sibling group just casually has a few plagues and death rays hanging around.
Oooo yea i think Hermes would enjoy something to do with his hands. He spent so long being overworked that not moving his hands can make him outright panic so the weaving is nice and it helps Hermes relax. Athena is happy and bonds with him easily since she already knows a lot about Hermes from Ares's rants in their wine nights.
Apollo isn't even the god of theatre but he's so dramatic that it works. Mr.D and Hermes join in just because it's hilarious and now Ares is just trying to rein in his two little siblings and Mr.D from pissing off more gods.
Yess PowerPoints are life !! To be honest i don't think anyone in the divine world minus the demigods and related even understand technology in itself. They just think powerpoints are a nifty and weird magic thing.
Ooooo yea Delos would definitely get more bloodthirsty. I think the twins would still be a bit scared if only for PTSD reasons but this time they have an array of siblings who will definitely protect them.
Yeaa Percy would think about it briefly but then decide that he can just dig up old lovers of Zeus that Hera never found out about and deliver a box filled with that info to Hera's palace in Olympus.
Yea !! No one is necessarily judgy, but they're all definitely slightly afraid over this new friendship, aswell as confused over why the hunt accepts Percy when he's a man. Apollo and Artemis are just vibing with this, since they get to visit Delos more often now.
Ooo, if Percy and the hunt hang out in Delos, i wonder if others know? I mean they know about the twins going, definitely, but Percy and the hunt probably not. Maybe Ody or Pen just ask Hermes where Percy is and Hermes tries to use him powers but he just whispers that he can't sense Percy. That'd definitely send everyone panicking. Plus if Percy and the hunt are there to hang out together since they're teenagers they definitely spend more time in Delos each visit than the twins, so it'll just add to the panic everyone's feeling at camp.
They think nothing about the range of gifts and just accept that nothing is off the table and are happy because it gives them more options to choose from.
I like that Athena just to hang out a calm version of Hermes that is connect to wave and talk, while Ares gets the chaos gremlin version of Hermes.
They fully believes that Pen and Ody are practicing magic and pointpowers are their spell of chose.
I fully believe that gods can't always control what their form looks like, so just Artemis and Apollo can't help put turn in a child from (looking around 5) after getting yelled at by some who terrified them as kids and hiding behind Ares (he was closer than Delos) who goes into overprotective big brother mode
Percy would enjoy that because he gets to mess with Hear and Zeus and the mortals that would have been wrapped up in their fight are already long dead.
The twins love that everyone is getting along since they spend more together and on Delos.
I don't the they would know because their wouldn't really be a reason for them too, until Hermes can't find Percy. They panic put someone has the sense to see if Hermes can feel Apollo because they wonder if Apollo take Percy to visit Delos but he can sense both of the twins so that idea is scaped. So their is even more panic because to them Percy can't be on Delos unless on of the twins are their. Of cause things can't be easy so people forget to actually ask/inform Apollo about Percy being missing until Apollo goes to Delos to check up on everyone their and is their for unreachable. For whatever plot reason they forget to talk to Artemis
The sibling group is happy there's no range because then it's easier to get each other gifts.
Athena thinks she's gonna have to rein a chaotic gremlin in their weaving hang outs but nope she gets the mature Hermes :D
Ares is jealous the moment Athena tells him during wine night.
They think the couple just invented a new form of magic for the single purpose of giving everyone interventions and they're slightly scared about it. I mean the couple Invented a magic !! Just to give talks better !! What else can they do when they're up to it ??
Aww Ares just seeing a small blur clutch his leg and he just looks down and sees baby little Apollo with tears in his eyes. He's definitely gonna call the whole squad. Hera will see what's coming for her, but first Ares needs to find Artemis.
Percy just in Olympus with popcorn hearing Hera and Zeus have a bunch of arguments after he delivered the package. He find it funny so he continues digging up Zeus' lovers that Hera didn't know about and shipping the information to Hera for WEEKS.
Hermes is just panicking not sensing Percy. And then not sensing Apollo. They don't remember about Artemis maybe because whenever she goes to Delos with the hunt she makes an excuse that they're all having a 12 hours hunting straight day and not to bother her or something. They only remember the possibility of Artemis being gone too after a few hours and panic even more when not only can Hermes not sense Artemis, but also he can't sense ANYONE from the hunt. Ody and Pen are both pissed tf off and extremely worried over what happened to Percy. They're definitely not resting until their child is back in their arms.
Meanwhile Percy, Apollo, the hunt and Artemis are vibing in Delos because Delos was nice and created a treasure hunt for them !! None of the 5 know about the panic outside.
Athena just bragging about having a non chaotic Hermes to Ares and Ares just not believing it at first because literally the second he takes his eyes of Hermes he is in some type of mess and that only gets worse when he is paired up with Apollo.
Just everyone sitting quietly in during the powerpoint and listening intently because they don't want to know what the couple will come up with next if this new magic of theirs doesn't work
Now I'm just picturing Ares holding little Apollo who is still red faced and teary but is hiding his face in Ares' chest so you can't tell but is while point the way to Artemis even though he can't see anything. Did Artemis go to her hunt or on of their other siblings?
It his entertainment for the next few months
The panic is just off the charts because that is big group of people missing that are well known fighters. Just while they are looking for everyone they stumble upon some type of evil plot and think that it ties into everyone going missing and the evil people are so confused because they had nothing to do with anyones disappearance. They end up sending groups out to figure out who framed them.
They are just living their best life while everyone else is suffering.
Athena and Ares start teasing other other jokingly about whether or not a calm Hermes is real
Yes !! All the divine beings just pay attention to the powerpoints interventions so the couple doesn't 'create' new magic. They're all very scared but warm up to it because the PowerPoints are actually really cool
Aww Ares holding Apollo protective, he knows how to hold a baby somehow. Apollo and Artemis always know where the other is unless Delos is involved, so Apollo guides Ares to Artemis, and Ares finds out Artemis is still with Hera, being yelled at. Ares definitely doesn't take kindly to that.
100%, it's his entertainment and the entertainment of everyone who lives in Olympus except for Hera and Zeus. they all have a betting pool and listen INTENTLY to every single argument. The nymphs thrive on gossip so Hera and Zeus's newest argument always reaches the outside in HOURS.
Yess !!! Ody and Pen go absolutely feral at the evil people. they already lost Tel in the underworld they don't want to lose him again. Everyone else is still pissed off, so the evil group desperately try to move it wasn't them because now they're dealing with a whole camp of demigods and various curses from gods. Ooo what if Delos kept Apollo, Percy, Artemis and the hunt? Like Delos senses the evil people and closes down indefinitely, keeping them in there for even more time so it can protect them. The Delos group is now worried over why Delos closed completely and try to sneak out to talk to others. They are unsuccessful.
inside jokes about calm Hermes being a cryptic start forming between the two of them
Just some of the people who are good at magic, ask the couple to teach them the ways of the powerpoints.
Now I'm just imagining that Apollo turned into a kid first and Artemis sent him away and Apollo run to Ares because he knew that his older brother could help and with little Apollo safe and bring help Artemis could have her break down. I fully believe that the twins are connected somewhere and can always tell were the other is and can feel if they are in trouble.
Also Ares holding both twin protectively and helping calm the two of them down before handing them off to a different sibling so he could yell at Hera without scaring them.
Percy is feeding the gossip on Olympus with new material and everyone but Hera and Zeus are loving it.
The evil people thought they had a plan but didn't account for everyone to be feral and anger over something didn't do. They just want the attacks to stop and have no idea how to prove they didn't do anything.
ooo, just like the treasure hunt Delos put together was a trap to get everyone together. They know of the evil people before anyone else and didn't want their babies in yet anther war just made something fun to keep them distracted while everyone else deals with the bad guys.
Of cause at some point the twins notice that Delos is on lock down and they have try to sneak way to make sure that everything is ok but they just aren't able too. It is way harder to sneak away with mortal but it is harder for Delos to keep mortals trapped because they have different rules than gods and monsters and Delos hasn't delt with mortals before.
So i'm just picturing either one of the hunters or Percy being close to finding an escape rout and Delos who isn't ready to let them leave yet but not sure how to close that mortal only escape rout just starts singing a lullaby to put them sleep. It just end in a big cuddle pile made up of the hunt and Percy peacefully sleeping with the twins scold Delos before also joining the cuddle pile.
the hunt + Percy want to be mad at Delos for knocking them out but that was the best sleep they got in years so they just can't
The jokes evolve into them joking about Hermes being bipolar somehow aha.
Ody and Pen are so confused when a handful of people start grovelling at their feet to learn PowerPoint. They just teach said group the way of computers, but the group then thinks Ody and Pen were the ones to create them. Next day almost all of the divine world thinks Ody and Pen development a new way of channelling magic (something never done before) and are absolutely terrified of the couple.
Yessss Apollo and Artemis are always aware of where the other is except when Delos is closed. Maybe Artemis always feels Apollo's warmth more personally and knows when she's close to him due to it, and Apollo always feels Artemis's serenity and mild moon glow more personally too.
Awww Ares is a very protective big brother. Hera isn't sure how to feel about this since Ares is the closest to her from her children, so he's definitely one of her favourite people.
The nymphs thrive on gossip and Percy becomes a borderline god for them. They have small, hidden altars in his honor cause they know when he comes to Olympus there's gonna be sweet gossip in an hour at most.
The evil people genuinely had a good plan but it's destroyed because they needed more time to set it up and are now dealing with very feral powerful people.
Oh!!! Delos just organising various summer camp activities to keep the group busy and it works since none of them have a mental age above 18.
Ooo Percy and The Hunt would definitely manage it. They're resourceful and very sneaky. Problem is returning to the ground after they escape Delos' barrier but they're just betting on Hermes sensing them and coming to get them.
Awww Apollo and Artemis are way more affected because they remember the songs from their childhood. Percy and The Hunt probably have very bad sleep schedules (though Percy's is probably getting better since Apollo is the god of health and he isn't letting his boyfriend have a bad sleep schedule) so they fall prey to it easily enough.
Yupp now everytime Percy and The Hunt try to sneak away they just end up sleeping. Sometimes they pretend to try to leave when they're tired so Delos can sing them to sleep. They'll never admit it though.
Pen and Ody have no idea what is going on but they are happy to share what they learned from Sally about tech. They not sure why everyone seems terrified of them afterwards.
I love that!! What if Artemis know if Apollo is in danger or up set because the warm he gives off changes, like it either gets colder or hotter, and Apollo can know if Artemis is in danger or up set because of moon glow or her serenity feeling less real
I can just see them trying to bribe Percy into giving them more gossip or them putting a potion together to make Percy immortal so they won't have to worry about lose their main gossip supplier
They evil people were sure they were going to win because they had a solid plan that had a 80% change of succeeding but then they are suddenly under attacked be these feral people who are crazy powerful and they wonder why they thought being evil was a good idea
Delos also weaponizing their ADHD, she would have been able to keep them distracted with summer camp game indefinitely if she didn't run out of games. Once she started repeating them the group know something was up
ooo, Artemis and Apollo don't need to sleep because they are gods but the whenever they hear Delos sing they are both out like a light. They two only managed to stay up long enough to whine about Delos not playing far before they join the mortal in the cuddle pile fast asleep.
Now, I'm just picturing the hunt + Percy fake trying to sneak away so they could go to sleep and they just end up leaving the island because the evil people were taken care of and Delos felt like it was save enough for them to leave and are just upset over it and everyone is worried over the fact they are upset over being free.
The information reaches the gods, and except for the younger ones who are more savvy in technology they're all terrified.
Ooo Artemis just closing her eyes and immediately announcing she's gonna check on her brother because his warmth is one degree lower than usual.
HAHAH Percy thinks that maybe these nymphs are trying to kill him but it's the opposite. He's so confused and thinks they're working for Hera so now half of the time he gets more gossip to tell them because he thinks he's one upping Hera by using her own informants against her but he's really just feeding the gossip mill at Olympus.
The evil people thought they had this in the bag but their main base of operations gets broken into by Ody and Pen 2 months after Percy was officially considered missing.
It takes a while for Delos to run out since Apollo and Artemis had been very active children, but when she starts repeating they immediately notice.
The twins absolutely love Delos' lullabies and are not ashamed of it. maybe Apollo became the god of music because he was so determined to find out if Delos was blessed or if it's lullabies were that good because of sheer talent alone.
Percy eventually cracks and explain the situation to one of his parents, who quickly goes to share with the other 3. It leads to all four of them asking Apollo to go to Delos, who happily takes them there. They try to learn the lullabies, and Penelope is the one who gets it the best since she had to sing a lot to comfort Tel. They're all surprised when Paul manages it quite well too, since the lullabies use sounds that exist in ancient greek but don't exist in english, so it's harder for mortals/people that don't know greek.
Delos had a bunch of games but they didn't last as long as she thought they would. She was used to entertaining two kids but a whole of bunch of them, the games she picked out went by quicker since their was a bigger group. I think Delos got away with combining a few of the games before she started repeating them and everyone caught on.
I like the idea of some of Delos abilities bleeding over to the twins because she adopted them and some of the twins abilities bleeding over to Delos because have two gods being born in the same place around the same time is going to leave some kind of effect especially when those two gods grow up to become Olympians. So the question would be is if Delos go her singing from Apollo or did Apollo get his singing from Delos.
I love the idea of Paul being on of the few people to sing the lullabies well.
I think before Percy crack and explains everything everyone is thinks the evil people partly brainwashed them (Percy + the Hunt) because they don't know the group has been on Delos and they seemed sad about being free and one of them even tried to go back (they really wanted napped time)
Delos has so many games. Now I'm just imagining before the twins were born Delos was just nicking 'how to be a good mother' books from the mortal realm so it can be a good caretaker.
Oooo. I think it'd be a bit of both. Maybe Apollo always had a knack for singing even before he gained it as a domain, so during that process where he was slowly gaining it it bled over to Delos, which in turn made Apollo gain it even faster.
Paul is a teacher and has mastered the process of learning something completely foreign in an effort to be able to *teach* that something completely foreign and thus being a good teacher. He's just devoted to his students. Also he has a killer voice for the lullabies.
Aha Ody, Pen and others getting together and brainstorming how to slowly destroy the brainwashing. The couple feels incredibly bad and guilty and feel like bad parents because they think their son actually wants to go back to the evil people. Maybe Percy and the Hunt are dirty and have some cuts and bruises from Delos' games and the general roughhousing that happens when very competitive teenagers are stuck together in a constant stream of games to win. So everyone (minus the Delos group) thinks that Percy and The Hunt were tortured or hurt/punished and that led to them being brainwashed. So the couple is incredibly sad and angry because they think their kid was hurt so much his brain started believing what the evil people were saying. Ody and Pen pay close attention to Percy and basically start behaving how they were when they first stopped Percy from jumping into Tartarus and joined Gaia (aka very nice and safe that give off 'just relax and trust us and our words' vibes) because they think they need to convince Percy to turn his back on what the evil people taught him.
Now I'm just imagining Delos writing the parenting booking about how to take care of teenagers and selling it in the mortal world as a way to give back since the 'how to be a good mother' books come in so handle and they have thousand of years of exp when it come to parenting teenagers. Maybe even a could of the parenting books are titled something like how to parent teenage godlying and is put in the fiction section but somehow make its way to camp and Chiron has been it was to help him run camp or maybe just to help him interact with Mr. D because he is still a young god (in my head Mr. D is some where between 17- 23 because I think of those as the party years, between high schools parties and being able experimenting with stuff that you have to be 21 and older to do legally)
Its a feed back loop! Delos liked to sing so Apollo pick it up it and it started becoming his domain which bled into Delos witch bled back to him.
People being thinking that Apollo blessed Paul in some way because that they only way they think a normal random dude can that good but it is just 100% him. He cares so he put the time become a good teacher and genetics did him a favor when it came to his singing voice.
100% the hunt + Percy look to be in bad shape because of how competitive they are. I think the only reason they didn't destroy the island they were on do to getting way to into the games is because they were one Delos which is harder to hurt than a normal island and they did they best to avoid destroying things because they liked Delos and didn't want to hurt her.
I think the Delos group should pick up some weird habits to make even more miss understanding. Like at some point it just they just got so used to sleeping in cuddle piles that they just sleep in giant cuddle pile on the floor instead of sleeping on the bed and everything thinks they had to that to keep warm or some other traumatic reason like making it hard for the evil people to take on of them for to be hurt and it just break everyone's hearts, but the Delos group is just vibing.
Maybe spending too much time around the twins turn the mortals more feral than normal. I like the idea of some gods having non human features or behaviors and the twins have more than other gods because they have more titan blood in them and have an island as parent but are really good at hiding them so no else really knows they full under that group. The Hunt already gained some of Artemis non human behaviors but no one realized because they rarely interact with people out the hunt or long periods of times so it just flew under the radar. But after spending a lot of time around the hunt + the twins Percy started to pick up some of those behaviors. I'm thinking maybe growling at each other or biting each other affectionately or maybe even purring and after they get back everyone is concerned that they were subjected to dehumanization or maybe experimentation.
I also think that Apollo and Artemis should be include with in the people that everyone thinks are brainwashed. Sure it might have been harder to do but their is proof that gods can be influenced because of what happened to Ares in the first book. So while the camp deal deprograming the mortals the gods work on deprograming the twins.
I'm just imagining Apollo and Artemis trying to explain that they were home and everyone freaking out because the evil people got their minds wrapped enough they though they were at home while being held captive. Que even more panicking and worrying because what if someone was hurting the twins with out anyone realizing and that is way it was so easy for them to think they were at home with the evil people when came back some cutes and bruises. ( They are also super completive and joined in the roughhousing, they chose to not to heal themself because it felt like unfair towards the mortal they were playing with and just haven't gotten around to it yet) Everyone looks at Hera and Zeus because they were really the only ones that could get away with something like that. Everyone knows that Zeus isn't the best parent, he doesn't have a record of hurting his kids but people wouldn't put it past him at this point and everyone knows how much Hera hates Zeus's kids they could see her doing something to the twins.
Percy noticing that Ody and Pen acting the some way they did when they were working with Gaia is worried that something happened or that they made some type of deal with some one shady and were trying to comfort him before telling him the bad knows or were trying to talk him into being apart to the deal. He loves and trust his parents but them acting like this bring up some bad memories putting him one edge.
Delos accidentally becomes a best-seller with it's "fiction" book and everyone is running around trying to figure out who the author is meanwhile Delos thinks that maybe mortal teenagers are similar to godlings (it didn't realise it's books ended up in the fiction section in shops) and just decides to make a book series about it. Like 'how to parent your godling'; 'how to parent your divine teenager'; 'how to parent your divine children and their mortal friends and lover'. Maybe Delos even makes a "bonus" book about 'how to protect your godling from their evil stepmother' as a dig against Hera. Chiron 100% gets his hands on it and figures out it's Delos by the second book, but also he's having fun with it and technically Delos is an island and immune to Zeus' rules so it can mess with the mortal realm as much as it wants. Meanwhile the mortals think 'Delos' is just the author's pen name, maybe they even think Delos is non-binary since in the book it's never referred to as She or He. But also Delos doesn't care enough to give the "characters" different names so Apollo and Artemis are confused when suddenly they start gaining more power because even if the readers don't actually believe in them, the popularity of Delos' books is enough to give the gods most mentioned more power.
Yess Apollo is trying to figure out if Delos is blessed but it just feels like Delos has a part of the domain of music. So he's even more confused.
Apollo totally would bless Paul. He thinks the man should be compensated for having to deal with the divine world. But he doesn't bless him with music he blesses him with an accelerated healing. So Paul really just has a good voice and a good drive. Sally is just happy since she knows very well how much of a good singer Paul is.
Delos is fine with being destroyed since it can regenerate incredibly easily and quickly. This just encourages the Hunt + Percy into being even more competitive. Delos maybe realises they get really into it and starts using the more competitive games more often so they have fun and forget about needing to leave.
Aww maybe the Delos Group just tends to only go somewhere else together because in Delos they had explored everything already, so the only form of entertainment was with each other and if they separated they'd end up really bored. But everyone just thinks that while they were captive the evil people would take any chance at taking one of them so they started staying together, since that idea would also tie with the cuddle pile thing.
Oooo yea i think Apollo and Artemis by themselves also hold a lot of more animalistic behaviors since their main domains are more 'cosmos' and outside of human bounds (earth). Plus the only company they had on Delos was Delos herself/itself and the passive animals there. So being stuck on Delos the twins just sorta instinctually revert back to that and it bleeds over to Percy and The Hunt. So the Delos Group like to just affectionately bite and play fight like wolves, they start growling, purring and maybe having more animalistic reactions. Like tilting their head when confused, stalking around when searching for something, and stretching like a cat. Everyone is really worried that either the evil people dehumanised the Delos group so much that they started to genuinely forget they're human/human-adjacent and took in non-human behavior, OR the group was genuinely experimented on and legit can't help that behaviour because they're not fully human/god anymore.
Ooo yea, since in modern times grooming is a more known concept, and Apollo and Artemis are very young mentally, maybe they started to think that the twins were groomed into thinking the evil people were right. The camp and the gods just basically get together and scrub the internet and libraries for information on how to get someone out of brainwashing, grooming, Stockholm syndrome, etc.
OOOO yea everyone is panicking because even with their young mental age they're still gods and shouldn't be THAT prone to being manipulated. Then comes the idea that even before their 'kidnapping' the twins were already being hurt in Olympus and that's why the manipulation was so effective. Zeus is a prime suspect since everyone knows how much he hated Apollo's attempt at revolting and they can't put it past Zeus to continue hurting Apollo and adding Artemis into it so neither of the twins try to revolt ever again. Hera has gotten so much better since she started bonding with the camp but they still can't put it past old Hera to do this, though everyone wants to believe this new Hera would admit to it, they're unsure.
Yeaa maybe Percy starts searching online for a possible big bad but finds none and is confused. Plus he knows Ody and Pen are smart enough to not fall into a deal again. Still he doesn't know why his parents are acting like this and it puts him on edge. Maybe the couple see that Percy is getting tense and think he's getting upset that they're subtly trying to get him to not agree with what the evil people kept saying. They're even more worried now.
I love that so much! Delos happy making their books think they are helping other parents with their kids ( they are at lest helping Chiron and maybe a few parents that know they have demigods) while the mortals are trying to track down the new best selling fiction author for an interview but they aren't finding any leads. The gods that more power are confused about why and maybe think it is the demigods, like i think that most if not all the gods mentions would be the gods ones, so they would just think that spending more time with their kids is leading to a power up because their kids believe in them more.
Apollo just learns not question it, he still really wants to know but is more less ok with it being a mystery.
deff, the divine world takes a tole on people and having faster healing is probably the best thing Apollo could have given Paul .
Once the Hunt + Percy find out that it is ok to be as destructive as they want, nothing is holding them back anymore and it the best time anyone of them had in years because they can finally go out all in games. Ya, Delos uses the more competitive games more often because it is the best way to keep everyone distracted because everyone on the island is super competitive.
ooo, no ones goes by themselves, they are either in one big group or in groups of three and it just feeds all kinds of theories everyone else haves. When someone is brave enough to ask why Percy just said it was for the best and everyone else in the Delos group just nodded with no farther explanation and that is really the last time anyone asks about their time away directly. ( Percy meant that was the best way to avoid getting board, everyone agreed because they all remembered how boring it got being by themselves after they explored all the island)
Idk why but know I'm just imagining the twins glowing slightly whenever they are on Delos. Artemis with silver and Apollo with gold and the brighter the glow the happy they are. So along with the growling and purring you could tell their mood by how much they are glowing and either the light was soft or harsh. Like maybe it is related to their more 'comos' domains and just feel like they don't have to hid that side of theirs because while they are still on earth they are in their save spot.
I'm also just picturing someone making a loud nose and it startling the whole group and they just look like a group of startled cats and it just makes their theories of experiment seem more likely. I can see the gods trying to figure out how they could subtly test the group to see if it were true without raising a panic or bring up bad memories. They would usually have Apollo do something like this but he is one of the people they think are effected.
I can just see someone maybe Hermes (he is the god of lies, he can tell when someone is lying) trying ask the Delos group questions to see how far the brainwashing went so they could research better and it just going terribly because when he get down to it, the Delos group wasn't allowed to leave, that they tried and failed to leave, and when they were finally allowed to rejoin the outside world they didn't want to and wanted to go back. It sounds all kinds of messed up when paired with all their other assumptions and theories.
I think Hera would notice everyone looking at her and knows that she deserves it because she probably would have done something like that if she thought she could have gotten away with it but hasn't will never so and explains as much to everyone to get them to stop looking at her with suspicion. So the looks goes to Zeus and their not sure how to hand that because Zeus is still the king they can't just accuse him.
OOO, maybe they are watching the twins more closely while they are on Olympus to see if they can get any clues and notice that the twins or more jumpy and they look uncalmable at being back home. The twins whole childhood spent on Delos before they were allowed to leave was spent listening to horror stories about Hera and being told to avoid Olympus at all cost so they could avoid the queens rath. Over the years they have gotten used being on Olympus but occasionally they would remember the stories and feel like they shouldn't be on there unless they wanted something bad to happen. After spending so much time on Delos recently they were thrown back into the mindset the Olympus was to avoid unless they wanted something bad to happen but they knew logical that that wasn't the case and staired around to visit with their siblings.
Percy may love and trust his parent but their will be a little voice inside his head telling him that he can never be too carful because they fell for a tick once it could happen again. After his search and find no big bad he is able to fully crush that voice in his head but is still on edge because something doesn't fell quite right.
Maybe the Hunt sees that Percy is on edge and invite him on a hunt to give him a chance to relax but no one at camp wants them to leave because you know they think everyone is brainwashed and wants to keep on eye on them.
Haha yea, the good gods just go gooey because they think their kids believe in them more, but it's actually just Delos' shenanigans. Everyone in the mortal realm is trying to track down the author, who they think is a literature genius. Chiron and the other demigod parents secretly know what's up but they stay quiet and are just thankful for the help.
Apollo gives that power to Paul because he knows how much of danger magnets people close to Percy usually are (himself included)
Delos just keeps regenerating and adding more stuff to the games and making it really competitive. The group is having the time of their lives and going at it since with Apollo around they can go as rough as they like on each other since they know nobody's getting seriously hurt with Apollo on watch.
Yeaa!!! Everyone in the group is really oblivious (The Hunt and the twins because they don't hang out with mortals often, Percy because he's just like that™) and don't understand that people need further context. Maybe the group started talking about a 'Mr. Marleen' or some business-sounding human names, and everyone thinks those people were the ones hurting the group or in charge of them. But no, those are the names of the cute animals the group practically adopted while on Delos, they just like to give animals human-sounding names.
Ooo yea i imagine being on Earth dulls down their more cosmos side a lot. Maybe when Apollo is really upset he just straight up sends out solar winds. And when Artemis is fuming the water starts retreating since the moon controls the tides (i think?), and maybe the moon glow becomes more bright and directed, as if aiming to blind someone. the twins are always glowing but it's only noticeable to the other gods with a cosmos domain. Nobody says anything about it since those gods also glow.
Ooo!!! I imagine demigods in general are more animalistic, but no one actually realised it before the delos group got stuck. So things Percy does that are from his demigod nature are just taken as the result of experimentation instead. And yea, they would usually go to Apollo, but right now they don't want to bring up bad memories. Everyone is just worried and on edge, trying to comfort the group. I also imagine parts of Apollo and Artemis glow, and the hunt is so connected to Artemis they glow too, + while Percy doesn't permanently glow he does glow slightly for a few months after leaving delos due to staying there for so much time. So maybe a light is flickered to their direction and the delos group's eyes just reflect the light back like cat eyes and everyone is terrified because they think the experiments ran so deeply even their eyes were affected.
Yea!! Their situation is really only made completely unserious because of *who* did it, because otherwise it's pretty messed up if you don't know what they were doing during it. Everyone thinks they were tortured until they caved in and stopped fighting back, and that's why they wanted to stay wherever they were.
Everyone just subtly giving Zeus the side eye. Even the nymphs around because they've grown fond of Percy due to his chaotic nature. Zeus is unfortunately very oblivious and confused over what's happening.
Ooo!!! Maybe the gods think that the twins were brainwashed into thinking Olympus isn't a safe place by the evil people so they join them into fighting the gods. The sibling group is really upset at this and absolutely spoil the twins, preferably in the few moments they're in Olympus so they make a positive association. It does work on the twins they do grow calmer.
Yea Percy is really unsure because he's grown to trust his gut instinct, who tells him nothing's wrong, but it feels too close to how it was with Gaia that he's doubting himself. Still he tries to trust his parents and just ignores that nagging part of his brain.
Ooo!! The Hunt just want to help Percy relax but because nobody really knew of their friendship with the boy they kinda word it wonky. It accidentally leads to the camp thinking The Hunt and Percy are planning to go back to the remains of the evil group because they're so brainwashed they want to go back. It makes everyone more protective and Ody and Pen don't let Percy out of their sight for weeks, scared that their kid is going to so something bad for himself. "Coincidentally", Chiron made some adjustments to the Artemis cabin to make it even more comfy to the Hunt. This way The Hunt stays at camp and they can keep an eye on the hunters aswell.
Delos creaked the code when it comes to superpowered/competitive teenagers. You just need a lot games and a place durable enough to handle them going all out and you got happy overpowered teenagers that are too busy trying to win to worry about anything else.
I love the idea of the hunt + Percy taking their time on Delos to practice their powers because it probably the safety place to do so. Like what is the worst that could happen, if someone get injured Apollo is their and its not like they could do permitted damage to island, Delos just reintegrates everything.
OOO, everyone is worried because Delos group talks about 'Mr. Marlee" fondly and they think that was one of the evil people when it was just a cute animal the group adopted. So people are searching for everything they can find on 'Mr. Marlee' because it is the only name they have but it just leads to dead ends and they hate how good the evil people are at hiding.
I love that! All the gods with cosmos domains glowing, I fell like they wouldn't know that not everyone could see the glow because it is hard to know if you are seeing the same thing as other people ( I'm thinking about how some people color blind but didn't realize until way letter in life) and that leading to some weird conversations.
I also love the giving demigods more animalistic characteristics! I think it Percy being the only Poseidon could help make his demigod traits more noticeable. Like everyone knows the weird quarks that comes with being an Athena kid or Hermes kid and don't think much about it but their is no other Poseidon kids to compare Percy with, leading them to think the worst.
OOO, now I'm picturing Artemis and Apollo with Vitiligo but instead of two different colors of skin it just skin that glows skin that doesn't. Their could be a pattern to it but I like the idea of them having random patch's of glowing and not realizing because to them and other cosmos gods they are glowing all over and it just escaped the other gods notice for whatever convent reason and the mist covered it up for the mortals so it is never mentioned in myths.
I'm thinking he hunt would gain smaller glowing patches that are more like glowing freckles. So while Artemis has big patches that make people think of the moon, her hunters have smaller ones that more resemble stars.
OOO, bioluminescence!!! What if Percy gain a bioluminescence pattern on his skin after his time on Delos. Like his godly DNA looked at all the people around them that glowed and though hey I can do that too and give Percy bioluminescence like a sea creature. Or maybe Percy always had that pattern but it was visible in normal lighting but after being around the light the twins give off it become visible for the first time in his life.
Percy would find his bioluminescence so cool because it be blue ( it is the most common color of bioluminescence for sea life) but by the time they leave Delos it become a part of his normal everyday life and forgot that he didn't always have it but after some one motioned it he goes off on a rant about how cool it is. Everyone is horrified because they it was result of a experiment and Percy seems happy about it.
I like Zeus as person that cares about his kids but sucks at showing it and I also like making him a total asshole, it just really depends on my mood and the plot. But what version of Zeus do you want to go. Like Zeus is going to be oblivious to everyone side eye him but he would have to know about the twin going missing and everyone thinking they were brainwashed.
Would he join the group of people to do program the Delos group or would he pretend not to know anything because if he did he would have to treat the twins like a threat until they are sure they aren't. Would he just not care at all or would get mad of the twin for distracting everyone form their duties.
The sibling group giving the twins all kinds of gifts, many of them some type of weapons ( they thought the twins would feel safer with a was to defend themselves) and the twins try to return the favor but the sibling group isn't having because they want to spoil the twins and they can't do that if the twins shoeing them away so they could pick out gifts.
Now I'm just picturing the camp doing exactly what Delos was doing, keeping everyone distracted so they would forget about wanting leave so they could keep on eye on them.
Delos is the ultimate godling caretaker because of how difficult the twins were as kids.
Yess The Hunt and Percy start to mess around with their powers and doing stupid stuff because they trust Delos and Apollo to take care of things.
Yes!!! Maybe Mr.Marleen specifically is some feline creature, so sometimes the group will start talking fondly about Mr. Marleen and then maybe Percy just pips up and says like 'I still have the scars Mr. Marleen gave me!' and then he shows like. A tiger claw mark. But bigger. The group just nods because they know how the feline is and know Mr. Marleen genuinely meant no harm but everyone else is horrified and think Mr. Marleen is some ultra evil scientist who tortured the group for Percy to have such a large scar. They hate how accepting the Delos group seems to be at the stuff.
Oo yea the cosmos gods are always able to tell each other apart and know who is about to walk into the room due to the color and intensity of the glow. Everyone else just thinks the cosmos gods are cryptic little guys with powers beyond this realm because they can't see the glows. Maybe like you said some gods are colorblind, but with the cosmos gods specifically some of them can literally see more spectrums of light and therefore more colors due to their domains. Like they're just talking and maybe two gods start arguing about one stealing the other's shade of red or something and a third god just pipes up like 'what do you mean? They're very clearly different reds?'. Everyone is immediately confused.
Animalistic Demigods are the best!! Maybe Tyson also has these characteristics, but they're overshadowed by his cyclops behaviour so no one realises it. Yea everyone except the delos group and Tyson think that Percy was experimented on. But Tyson having lived with humans unlike all the other cyclops very much knows what behaviour of his is actually just poseidon demigod behaviour. So Tyson understands that Percy was fine he's just being more demigod than usual, but as a sweet bean he doesn't understand he should tell everyone else that, so he just stays quiet thinking everyone knows that fact and is worried about something else.
Glowy patches!!!? My new love!!!!! I imagine unlike normal vitiligo, the twins kind of look like cracks. Like glowy cracked lines across their skin that sometimes coincide and lead to a big patch of glowy skin. Maybe since Delos is connected to the twins, staying in it for so long lead to the twins kind of slowly shifting closer to their 'true forms' so to say (aka glowy skin and glow but everyone sees it this time). Of course it's nowhere near enough time for everyone to witness the wonder of their glowy skin, but it's enough for the cracks in their skin to look lighter/darker/different color from their skin. It leads everyone into thinking that instead of vitiligo, those are actually scars and then everyone is terrified that not only were two gods SCARRED, but also those scars look like cracks and they can't think of anything that might've done them.
Maybe they gain more glowing freckles the more they time they've been part of the hunt. So the amount of glowing freckles become a subtle sign of Ranking. Hunters who don't yet have any glowing freckles are basically the babies of the group and barely get the change to hunt monsters themselves because the rest of the hunt is just extremely protective of them.
Oooo!!! Yeaa maybe the bioluminescence is typically only visible when he's deepp in the sea because that's the "natural" habitat of bioluminescent creatures. So his powers looked at all these glowy people and decided that this must be a natural habitat too, and promptly makes him glow.
Yesss i think during Delos time Percy would learn to control his bioluminescence, so everyone discovers he actually glows maybe when the power's out. Ody and Pen are horrified and shakily ask him about it and Percy goes on that rant. Everyone in the room thinks that the evil people twisted Percy's reality so much that he now thinks it's cool to be heavily experimented so he can glow.
Honestly the Zeus i like the most is like the Zeus from Neal illustrations (you should check them out if you don't know awesome artist!!), so basically a mix between oblivious and asshole. I imagine Zeus never actually learned empathy or any morals due to his childhood, since the people who cared for him were too busy protecting him from Kronos to teach him literally anything. So from my favourite interpretation, Zeus isn't an asshole on purpose, but he also doesn't care if he hurts people. Like he won't go out of his way to hurt people but very rarely will he go out of his way to NOT hurt people (unless said people are his loved ones). He doesn't have a moral compass at all, or empathy, and it's clear. But yea he's definitely oblivious no questions asked. He'd know about it but he wouldn't make the connection that everyone else made and therefore wouldn't see or understand the side-eyes.
I think, and maybe that's the hidden lover for Angsty Zeus inside me, that Zeus would dislike the parallel he thinks he's seeing between his relationship with Kronos and the twins' current beliefs. Baby Zeus felt no fear towards Kronos; he was a baby, no one was going to tell him what Kronos was actually doing. baby Zeus just knew that man was his father and wanted to go to him regardless of how much messed up things he saw Kronos do, because that's his dad and he won't hurt him, right? Current Zeus thinks he's seeing the same situation with the twins, with their love and adoration for people who hurt them. He'd be uncomfortable with the reminder of his childhood, so i think he's mostly ignore it, though he'd definitely treat the twins more softly and gently.
Yess!! The twins are extremely confused when the sibling group is suddenly gifting them weapons and refusing gifts back. They grow worried and start thinking the group is trying to tell them something subtly. The twins play into it and hang out more with the rest of the group to try and find out what that thing is. Meanwhile the sibling group is happy and thinks their strategy is working because the twins are staying around Olympus more often.
Percy and The Hunt just occasionally feeling a strong sense of Deja Vu and confused over it since the camp is acting so much like Delos.
100%, I think the twins would have hated have to stay in one place for so long and raised hell to either prove that they could handle the out side world or just a byproduct of them being stuck in one place for too long.
This is super random but I head cannon Hades loving music do to Orpheus opening a way into the underworld with music and the first person to do something like that was baby Apollo practicing his music before he old enough to gain a domain. Making Hades the first person off of Delos to meet the twins ( hades had to return Apollo to Delos so he meet Artemis as well) and he never lets Zeus live down the fact he got to met his kids before him or let Poseidon live down the fact that the he is the twins favorite uncle because he go the chance to bond with them longer. I also kind of like the idea of Hades have some type of injure that hasn't healed form bring in Kronos stomach ( in some stories Hades held all his siblings up and away from the stomach acid leaving only himself to deal with it) and baby Apollo managing to heal Hades while in the underworld because while he wasn't the god of healing yet the potential is there and he manage to tap into it to save this nice guy that promised to help him get home from chronic pain. That action would but Apollo as Hades favorite nephew for the rest of time. ( I also think that having the oracle cursed caused Apollo to have chronic pain that was so bad bleed over the Artemis and their relationship was never the same once it got out that Hades was the cause and the king of the underworld is trying everything to make it up to his niece and nephew because it was a bad decision made in anger, he didn't mean to hurt his family but what is done is done and their is no going back. Maybe one day they can be close again but he will never be their favorite uncle again because he doomed them to 70 ish years of endless pain. Hades would feel so bad when he found out his actions had consequences, his nephew saved him from his pain years ago but in return he is the very reason his niece and nephew know what that kind of pain feels like.)
Back on topic I think it would kind of funny if the hunt + Percy forgot to hold themself back and everything is wondering what type of horror they went through that forced them to gain that kind of skill when they were really just messing around the whole time.
OOoo, I like that, maybe they even refer to Mr. Marleen as a love able shit head or a little asshole that too cool to actually hate because lets be honest cats and anything feline has an attuited and everything is thinking that the Delos group is just rationalizing how much they used to hate the evil scientist before the brainwashing kicked in and how much that differs to now after the brainwashing is in effect. The group feels hopeful because this might be a sing that on some level they still dislike the evil people.
Maybe someone says something about Percy large scar and he tells them that it was his fault really and that Mr. Marleen didn't mean too and the Delos group all agrees because they all know that the feline didn't mean too that Percy should have been a little more carful because Mr. Marleen is still a large wild animal no matter how well behaved they are. The group is even more horrified because they think the Delos group are blaming themselves for being tortured.
OOO, I love cosmos gods being cryptic, I think prophecy and gods of knowledge should also be considered to be cryptics because they just sort of know more and forgetting that other people don't have the some access to information. Since Apollo is all three he would be the biggest cryptic of all times and because he shares most things Artemis she is right their behind him as the second biggest cryptic and their connection do to being twins would add to their status of cryptic. Making the evil people brainwashing them even more scary because not only did they brainwash gods they brainwashed the twins who are the biggest cyptics of he godly world.
Now I'm just imagining Apollo making a painting in colors that only cosmos gods could see leading to everyone else being confused and think it is a prank of some kind.
I LOVE the creaks idea!!!! Delos being swamped in the twins godly energy paired with the fact the Delos is connected to the twins makes it easier for glow to shift to include the normal section of light people can see in. The longer they are their the more time their glow can adjust to be include the new sections of light.
Maybe some of the cracks sort of look like lighting scares and everyone thinks on type of whatever put cracks into a gods essences they were also hurt by electricity to make them scared of Zeus's lighting so they would be more willing to turn against the gods or less willing to go back to Olympus.
I love that! The glowing freckles would be the only real way to tell how is the oldest of the hunters. But having the hunters have glowing freckles that resemble starts gives a who new meaning to Zoe's last words. Like while she was telling Artemis that she could see the stars she might looked up the night sky and saw the glowing freckles of her sisters in the hunt. Like she could have imagined the faces of the hunters that have long since pasted smiling at her while she joined them in the afterlife. (I maybe myself sad writing that)
Everyone just nodding and giving Percy a tense smile while all they really want to do is throw up but they don't have the heart to burst Percy's bubble at the moment. They all think Percy is just finding glowing cool as a way to cope with the heavily experiments down on him and no one wants to take that way from him until they have a for sure plan in place to help everyone out.
(I will deff check out Neal illustrations when I get the chance) I really like that interpretation of Zeus. I think that would put him under true neutral and it think that fits him quite well.
OO maybe every takes Zeus ignoring it as a sign that he doesn't care or that they are right to be side eyeing him and miss the way he treats the twins with love and care. Like from that point on everyone is trying is trying to keep the twins and Zeus separated because they think the twins deserve to be around people that care and they don't Zeus falls into that category. Zeus is obvious to that fact and is wonder why it seems like he hardly sees the twins anymore and is debating if he should go out of the way to interact with them or let them have alone time to get their thought in order because he think they had a break though and need time to come to terms with everything like how he need time to come to terms with that his father is bad.
The twins just thinking that their siblings are trying to tell them that Olympus isn't safe hence them needing so many weapons and are staying around Olympus to try and find out what the threat is. The siblings have no idea that their plan back fired so badly and are just happy that the twins are more.
OOO, the Deja Vu feeling makes the Hunt + Percy miss Delos, like it gives them a seems of homesickness because while camp is great and all they can't go all out here, people have been weird since they got back and they had to leave all the cute animals behind.
So just like the camp over hearing the Delos group planning their next visit to check up on Mr. Marleen and the others and their just being a huge debate. Everyone is auguring about while they should stop the Delos group or let them go so they could follow them and finally get ride of Mr. Marleen and the rest of the evil that has been hiding because they have gotten no wear on their research and this might be their only chance to find and get ride of them.
also as a side note this idea could be made into a Marvel crossover by making the evil people Hydra. Like Hydra has just find out about the godly world and wanted some of that power for themselves and made a plan but they never got a chance to get past the plain phase and have learn their lesson to never mess with the godly world again. Hydra has a history of brainwashing and experimenting on people so everyone could base their fears off of notes they got from raiding hydra bases.
The Avengers could be in the back ground wondering who is going after hydra but is happy about that because it makes their job easier and Thor just giving vague impute about hydra overstepping their reach getting what they had coming, and something about how they should have thought more before after godlings ( the chaos the greeks caused looking for everyone didn't go unnoticed and made it ways through the rumor mill and every Pantheon is keeping its younger member close by until the greeks could take out threat bc if someone is targeting young people in the godly world it is only a matter of time before the reach beound the greeks, they will help out if they are asked because that kind of thing threatens all of them but wont interfere unless asked because that would be rude towards the greeks)
I imagine all of the gods, at least while they're kids, also have ADHD (since all demigods do) and that leads to a lot of complicated situations when said kids are superpowered.
Ooo Hades means well most of the time but spending so much time alone (in Kronos's stomach and in the underworld) took it's tool on his emotional development. He's incredibly oblivious to social interactions and doesn't always think ahead when doing something. For the sake of happy endings, i think Percy would at least coax Apollo into giving Hades a chance without Percy himself realising it. Just Percy talking about his own experience with Hades and how he's his favorite uncle. Hades and the twins aren't getting that old relationship back anytime soon but i think with Percy's words Apollo would start giving Hades more opportunities to prove that he's changed for the better.
Everyone thinks the group went through some kind of gladiator arena when they were just being silly and energetic
Ooo yea cats are assholes. The group would be constantly insulting Mr. Marleen jokingly but everyone else is incredibly hopeful that maybe their attempts at getting rid of the brainwashing are working. Maybe with the suspected rationalising some people start to suspect that the group got hit with some mind-control machine, because really it's still insane to imagine all of these powerful people being manipulated into something when they were all there for the two big wars.
Oo Maybe Percy is sulking and complaining about another scar he got from a horse-like animal in Delos, and one of the others just pops up and says that Percy knew better than to do what he did. It's true because Percy got the scar by standing behind the horse animal and he himself knew he shouldn't done that, but everyone else is just horrified and think that it's some messed up cycle of them blaming the victim for the scars until they all agree the scars are all their fault and not the torturer's.
Gods being cryptic is the best!! Yea i imagine the sibling group is silently extremely worried and afraid because the twins were only slightly less cryptic with them than with everyone else, and now with how cryptic the twins were constantly the group is scared of messing something up. They got used of the twins' cryptic stuff but the sibling group now thinks this is a NEW cryptic stuffs and they're tiptoeing around it.
Apollo just makes the extra effort to paint in cosmos colors. you'd just enter his house and it's filled with seemingly blank canvas on the walls but every cosmos god that visits is in immediate awe and starts complementing Apollo.
Yess!! I imagine it would a LOT of time for that to actually happen to be honest and so it isn't discovered for another few centuries. For now the cracks just lightened up enough to look like scars for the not-cosmos gods.
Ooo yes, everyone silently sees Zeus as the god most easy to hate, and they think the evil people used lightning specifically for that. They wanted the twins to turn against Zeus. I think Zeus would be oblivious, but upon finding out would actually feel guilty anyways because lightning is his domain and in a way he hurt the twins. He makes sure to be extra soft with them. I think by then the twins would actually notice the change.
Awww man that's sad. Maybe as some bonus ritual practice the hunters do the boons, but also get a flat, round rock and paint freckles onto it, being incredibly precise and putting the exact number on their exact spots maybe as a way to show that Hunter's connection to Artemis but also their individuality. They were a hunter in the end, but they were far from expendable and were valued and special in their own right.
Pen is just taken back to when Ody was back and kept trying to reason and cope with what happened to him. She has seeing her child now behaving the same. At least now she knows how to act. Yea they're just letting the Delos group keep whatever coping mechanisms they have as long as they're safe until they get a proper plan on helping the delos group.
I always loved morally grey characters, even if I don't particularly like that character~ I always find the older gods' childhood under Kronos super interesting.
Aw man that's saddd. Yea Zeus is just getting misunderstood. I think at one point the twins would realise Zeus is treating them softly, and they won't trust him persee, but they'll definitely be curious on why that's happening. Maybe the twins start going out of their way to interact and hang out with Zeus in order to figure it out. Everyone is confused over what's going on and Zeus is overjoyed. At least now it seems the situation is losing its parallels to his childhood...
The twins are ultra confused and wary and get clingy to the others. The others are just happy and cling back because honestly the sibling group has been stopping themselves from clinging to the twins since they got back. The group is still scared the twins may be taken away.
Yeaa The Hunt + Percy would feel a bit watched with what's going on. I think neither would take well to that, the hunters are used to being in the shadows under the moonlight and every time Percy felt watched it was because he did something in school and now the whole school was making fun of him.
Ooo yea i imagine they're pretty split. On one hand they're all ferally protective over the group right now and don't want them anywhere close to the evil group anymore. On the other that would mean maiming and the opportunity to destroy who hurt the group....
OO yea Hydra would definitely be greedy enough to try it. Plus they're smart enough to at least hold their own at the start, though obviously they don't fare well afterwards.
The Avengers decide to keep that box tightly closed and not question Thor anymore. Some members are curious and want to know but they are silenced quickly.
Yea i imagine the other Pantheons are watching and taking out hydra bases when they find them. They won't intervene, that's rude, but they're completely willing to if asked. Maybe Hydra becomes some sort of tale for younger gods, since maybe once everyone knows the truth it still probably won't reach the other Pantheons and they'll remain thinking two Olympians got brainwashed and tortured. the tale is basically to watch out for mortals and that they can sneaky when they want, but ultimately gods reign supreme because lets be honest all of the pantheons are incredibly prideful they wouldn't have a tale that didn't end with a 'gods are the best' ending.
