The camp worship The Vibes™ and somehow that worship creates a Vibes™ god. The baby god very much embodies their domain and the camp immediately adopts them.
Ody and Pen just have a cycle of having to interfere in every single cabin because the demigods are just too self-destructive and praise-chasing. Said demigods constantly go gooey and cuddly to the couple because the adults care!!!
Everyone knows by sight and the kids of those gods make SURE to make it look like Ody and Pen completely corrupted them. The gods cannot even stay a minute at camp without being made the victim of a borderline cruel "prank". They barely get the chance to talk to their kids before being chased out. The only ones given the chance are the ones who actually learn from their mistakes due to the pranks and try to actually know their kids and hang out with them.
Any peace in camp disappears that day because the Vibes have always been chaotic and now their is baby god that embodies the Vibes and any normal behavior goes out the window. The camp wouldn't allow the older gods to meet the baby god because they are known for killing the vibe and don't want them to hurt the baby.
Pen and Ody are just happy that the cabins full into their self-destructive and praise-chasing ways at different times. They not sure what to do if the whole camp decided to go off the rail at the same time.
Everyone now knows the good gods from the bad ones. The ones that are labeled as bad are just banished form camp and any and all offering are stop being give to them. They are suffering from their mistakes and have to put in the work to make thing better but they have earn the right first and no one is really sure how they can do that since they messed up so badly.
The older gods are super confused but the younger gods, who do not kill the Vibes, are allowed in and immediately taken with the baby godling. It becomes a big project and the camp is determined to raise this godling to become a really nice and relatable god and nothing like the stronger gods they've had to deal with.
Yea the couple can barely handle it when they're unlucky enough for two cabins to go into it at the same time, they're happy it doesn't have often and it's usually one cabin per time with a few weeks of peacefulness in-between.
The gods are so confused because they're used in getting away with their bad actions and can't process actual consequences. The good ones are just laughing at the bad gods and having fun finally getting to know their kids. Yea it'd be pretty unlikely any of the bad gods would even realise their error, let alone admit it, let alone try to fix it. The bad gods have allowed so many of their kids to die due to their negligence, nobody thinks they'll make up for it.
Now I'm just imagining all the older gods being terrified after all the resent pranks the demigods started to scare them and whatever project they are working on just got the backing of a lot of the younger gods.
They younger gods are happy the demigod include them will hold it over the older gods head once the baby godling is is old enough for the demigod to fell comfortable letting them the older gods.
This the awake up the bad gods need because slowly they wrapping their head around the fact that they were wrong and actins do in fact have consequences, they might not be able to fix their mistakes but at lest they can start to learn from them
Poseidon keeps trying to pester Percy into telling him what's going on but he's constantly stopped by Ody and Pen. The guy just has to retreat because he knows spending more than 5 minutes with Ody will cause him to fight the mortal and Percy wouldn't like that.
You know now that I'm thinking about it we haven't really explored Poseidon's and Ody's relationship. Like this time around they HAVE to get along despite their hatred for one another.
Yess the younger gods are absolutely loving this development. Not only is the godling really cute and really funny but things less than this have gotten lorded over people's heads for centuries and they're absolutely delighted at this ammunition.
The bad gods take a lot to change, but i imagine maybe some bad gods actually have the mental age of kids and they were just going along with what the older ones were doing + they're too mentally young to be a good parent. I think those gods would be more easily forgiven, though they'll never have a proper parental relationship with their kids. I think that discovery will lead Ody and Pen into trying to get some divine law that stops gods with young mental ages from having kids, both for the kids' sake but also because the couple is disgusted that some mortals did the naughty with what were clearly kids (i imagine those gods would take a young-looking appearance as well, to match their mental age) and they don't want anyone being manipulated and groomed even if they're gods.
Your right, we haven't really talk about that yet. I think Ody and Poseidon would be like a divorced couple that hate each but tries not to fight because it would upset their kid. They also respect each other but hates that fact so much. Ody can say that he is sort of happy that Percy is the son of Poseidon because he know have far the god would go for his kids. He still hates the god with every fiber of his being but is happy Percy has that sort of backing even if he will never admit it. The same could be said of Poseidon, he knows the how far Ody will go for his family and is happy his son has that sort of care but will never let anyone know. He will still smite Ody if he ever got the chance because the still hates that mortal.
They younger gods are living the best life, they get to hung out with their kids, a new baby god, and get a ammunition that could potentially last until the end of time.
That is just one more thing for the couple to fix. I imagine that bad god that are too mentally young to be a good parent would have a more sibling like relationship with their kids after they were forgiven. That is that the latest issue the couple has to fix when it comes the gods.
Yess both of them are extremely protective and silently glad for that since they know at least the other will protect Percy if they're unable to. I think Ody would grow calm at finding out that Percy killed the Cyclops that killed Polites and Poseidon actually took Percy's side in the conflict. Like the main reason those two hated each other so much was due to the conflict with that one Cyclops. That has now been killed by the one person that's tying them together. It's genuinely an interesting dynamic for the thing that separated them to be destroyed by the thing that now unites them. I think Poseidon would absolutely hate Ody even after Gaia fell again because of the deal thing, but silently be glad the man and his wife stopped Percy from jumping into Tartarus. Maybe with the evil people Poseidon also grows more tolerant of Ody seeing the couple brutally murder so many people to find even just the smallest clue to where Percy is.
Younger gods are adoring this since they also get to raise the godling right. Unlike how the older gods raised them. Also blackmail is great.
Oo yea the demigods would find it weird at first but then take to their respective parent gods easily enough. The couple is tired of constantly fixing stuff in the divine world but dammit they're going to try to make the best world possible for these kids they're already attached...
I love that so much but I like 80% sure that Percy didn't kill the Cyclops because he felt bad about it because they were both sons of Poseidon and that Cycops sort of reminded him of Tyson. I only bring it up because I kind of like the idea of that showing how much Ody and Percy are alike. That they went up the some enemies and both chose to spear them but were Ody was punished and was forced to be more ruthless, Percy wasn't. Even though Percy lived a harder live ( with gabe, being hunted by monsters, leading two war by the time he is 17) he wasn't forced to harden his heart the some way Ody was. I think that would bring Ody and Pen some comfort in knowing that their kid can still afford to kind even after everything. I also like the angsty aspect of Ody knowing that cyclops is still out there but is slowly recovering from the wound that he left it. Ya it is still blind but for how much longer, it already got some of its sight back. And all the regret that could come up because how many satyrs died because Ody didn't the cyclops and how many more people will die because Percy followed in his fathers footsteps.
The younger gods finally get the chance to raise the next generation and they are determined not to make the same mistakes as their elders. The blackmail is just a plus.
The couple doesn't regret getting attached to those kids but why does the godly world have so many issues they need to fix!! like come on, gods are been alive for thousands of years and like no one before them has tried to make things betters, is this ridiculous.
Ooo honestly probably, my memory is badddd. Yea Percy is still much like Ody reincarnation or not. And I'd imagine that this time around Pen would be the one going off on the adventure. She knows exactly who kept her husband from returning and before she had to stay in Ithaca, but now she has weapons that can actually kill monsters. Pen promptly takes off to kill the Cyclops in secret. Yea Ody is guilty that his actions ended up with more people hurt but Pen talks him out of that guilt.
Younger gods just decide to maybe try therapy like the demigods because they're scared of messing up the godling.
The couple is the only one with the energy, power and will to change stuff around. Everyone is mostly going along with it (they have no choice) with the camp, especially Chiron, cheering them on.
Just on the way to kill Calypso Pen stops at the places the held her husband up to take care of them. She stops by to kill the Cyclops before Apollo shows up and the two get to talk to CC, because she did try to sleep with Ody and turned Percy into a genpig.
Everyone is happy for the younger gods because they 100% need that therapy. They have been throw a lot of shit because of the older gods and don't want to do the some for the new godling.
Chiron is just so happy to see things change for the better, he is cheering everyone one but will tattle to couple of someone isn't putting in the work to change
Pen has many grievances with Aeolus but she's hold it off for now since they're a god. That doesn't mean they'll be left alone. Yea Pen is a girlboss and kills the Cyclops in a couple hours, then also the carnivorous sheep (they scare me).
Oo yea, i think that would be more of a intervention than anything else. Apollo is a protector of youth and Pen was a woman in the old times, they know how dangerous men can be and how far you sometimes need to go to protect women against them. It wouldn't be a fight, more of a passive aggressive powerpoint presentation that slowly softens up, since at the end of the day CC was doing the best she could. She just lost her reasoning when she continued to lure men in and transform them through the ages. I think CC would take it a bit, since although she doesn't know these people she did trust Pen's husband and Apollo is the twin of Artemis, who is basically the goddess CC thinks the best of. I think her business would shift into protecting the nymphs more than luring men in afterwards, like how it was in EPIC. It felt like it lost that sense in PJ.
Yess Chiron is mildly (extremely) traumatized and was stuck in a loop of barely being able to do anything due to the desensitisation. Now that the couple is here the three are basically best friends, Chiron is amazing at what he does and he does genuinely want to see the kids safe. He tries his very best at helping change the divine world, he really just needed that push.
Just Pen sending passive aggressive pries to Aeolus so the god knows that they are on her shit list.
100%, I think that would would CC a lot. They would give a small therapy season along with the intervention and set her up with resources to get more therapy once they leave.
ya he really need someone to show him that thing could get better because before the couple I think things only changed for the worst and Chiron was just trying to keep things at least decent.
Aeolus is a silly little bean though and they're just waiting excitedly because they very much want to fight Pen
Yess CC and her nymphs 100% need therapy but they're so isolated it's nearly impossible. They figure it out somehow and get much better. CC is really glad for it because even if she's unsure about this whole thing herself, her nymphs seem to be getting better and happier and that's all she wants.
Chiron desperately needs therapy, because although he's a centaur i don't think a lot of people have thought about how would a mortal brain with clear breaking points and limits deal with immortality. I think he internalised a lot of stuff in order to remain mostly sane, and one of those basically turned him into an observer. Constantly there and training kids, yet unable to intervene when they truly need it. He just internalised that helplessness and basically just 'looked away' from the situation, ignored it by conditioning himself to think it can't be changed much. Then the couple came along, and Chiron is really happy because they're his friends and are doing so good, but it's also unintentionally breaking something in him to be confronted by the fact that he could've always done something to change the divine world, even if he remained inactive to stay sane.
