Forever thinking about theatre kid marauders au where they’re all ( sirius, james, remus ) in drama except for peter because he plays bass in the school band, so he volunteers to be virgil the rat in their schools production on ride the cyclone and that’s where the nickname “wormtail” comes from.
For your consideration: the Odyssey but as a Hallmark Christmas movie where Odysseus travels to New York for work and is trying to get home to Hawaii?? (I needed a long domestic flight shhhhh it was either this or Vancouver to Newfoundland) in time for Christmas dinner with Penelope and Telemachus after missing it for the last 20 years straight
The Trojan War is some really big business venture or something that took literally forever for them to sign but they finally did it!!
Polyphemus keeps them after work threatening to get HR involved because they accidentally ate his lunch that he left in the fridge, Polites and some of his other coworkers get stuck there but Ody and the rest manage to escape the office
Athena is Odysseus' boss (and childhood friend) who told him to get everything done more efficiently so he could leave earlier but noooooo he didn't listen and guess who's cutting it close again
The wind bag: Aeolus (from another department, maybe distribution??) sends them home with snacks that they forget to declare and Poseidon the airport security guard sees them after Eurylochus opens the bag in the waiting area and pulls them into the security room until they miss their flight
Circe owns a local motel and wanted to kick them out because she doesn't trust so many dudes around her employees after past incidents, but her and Athena's mutual friend Hermes gives Odysseus some of her favourite tea as a peace offering and he tells her about his wife and kid and she's just like "fineeeeee okay you're a wife guy, I guess I can find you a room"
She calls them a taxi to the airport the next day and the driver Tiresias just keeps giving them ominous life advice and seems to know like... way too much about them and also they're not entirely sure he actually has his license
Odysseus gets a call from his mom like "where are you we're waiting for you" and he's like "I'm on my way home I promiseeeeeeeeee I'll be there this time"
The sirens are various sales reps at the airport
Scylla (baggage check employee) keeps some of them cuz their bags are too heavy so Ody and the rest head to the gate without them
Eurylochus brings snacks again (thinking Chicharron-style snacks, ones you're not supposed to bring on a plane) and Zeus detains them
The suitors are just the neighbourhours who bully Telemachus like "oooOOOOhhhhh ssuuuUUURrreee your dad is tOOOOtally gonna show up to Christmas this year" and making jokes about his mom
Athena (who did leave early and catch the original flight) scares them away and reassures Telemachus that his dad is on his way (while texting Odysseus "see I told you so")
She finds out Zeus is the one detaining them so she calls her dad like "please can you at least send Odysseus on his way, you literally know him, he's just a dumbass sometimes" so Zeus let's Odysseus go catch his flight but keeps the rest of them in security
Calypso is some lady he's seated next to on the plane who hits on him for the entire ten-hour flight
Poseidon, who got transferred to the other airport, recognizes Odysseus from before and pulls him into security again and Odysseus just rips into him until he lets him go
The neighbours are bullying Telemachus while he's out getting last-minute ingredients for dinner when some dude turns up and tells them off and threatens to get their parents so they all run off
Penelope's just like... "who are you and what have you done with my husband, how are you actually on time"
Insert sweet and sappy Christmas dinner with the entire family until Odysseus' sister goes "wait... where's Eurylochus?"
Eurylochus turns up at the door the next morning like "ODYSSEUS YOU MF I HAD TO CATCH ANOTHER FLIGHT-"
New pfp and blog theme jumpscare (click on picture for unshitty quality)
Hello Marauders nation, uhhh turns out I won’t be posting about it any more… (I lost interest, sorry 😞)
no words can explain how much I love this. Also, no I don’t think opening the briefcase would be a smart idea…
Help.
I'm trapped on a road trip w/ a bunch of people from college. We're in a minivan, which is as nice as it sounds (I have no leg room and it smells like ass). It's been rough, we were all starving so we stopped at a gas station - I just wanted a fucking granola bar - but then one of our friends straight up got snatched and now everyone's just sitting awkwardly because we definitely left someone behind at the gas station but no one knows what TF to do. Bro and we barely got any food -
We've been trapped in stop and go traffic for the last three hours. THREE HOURS. We've nearly died so many times.
But okay, this is where it gets weird because the driver takes a random exit and we end up in this rich ass neighborhood. I know this guy, he's my buddy, he's usually a good driver and like pretty responsible. But he straight up parked the car, told us all to stay out, and walked into this fancy house???? Then bro came back, handed me a black briefcase and said: "Do not open it. It's the only we we're gonna get home".
And the he spent the next NINE HOURS checking on me in the rearview mirror to make sure I haven't fucked with his briefcase... like HELLO? Wtf did he just hand me!?
So now we're like 10 minutes from home, the roads are clear, and I stg I think I'm holding a briefcase full of cash. I low key feel like this is drug money. I don't know what's going on anymore. Send help: do I open the briefcase?
My aunt just casually gave me a bag built exactly like the wind bag???? Like what
(yes ik it's just a brown drawstring bag let me have fun/lh)
He keeps the cracked glasses in the little bag and brings it every where after Polites dies, until it gets so grubby and eventually gets KACHOWED along with Eury and the rest (this probably doesn’t make sense, sorry)
Eurylochus looks like a guy who's good at sewing
Detail reminders for drawing pjo/hoo:
all demigods have scars, draw them
there’s a difference between trade scars which can be added per drawing and by how much combat the character is likely to have seen (ie Nico has tons of scars, Clarisse and Annabeth have a fair few, where as Drew and Will probably don’t have as many), and distinctive scars which are noted in the books and can help identify a character. distinctive scars include:
Jason has a scar on his lip (from trying to eat a stapler when he was a baby)
Hylla has a scar across her forehead (from dueling for her and Reyna’s freedom from the pirates)
as of boo Nico has claw scars across his upper arms, probably starting at his shoulders (from killing Lycaon)
Luke has a scar down the side of his face (from a quest to get an apple I think, I don’t remember)
Other injuries that probably left scars:
it’s possible both Percy and Sally have scars from Gabe
Percy’s encounter with the pit scorpion at the end of tlt, on his palm
the ship exploding in som probably gave Tyson quite a few scars
the poisoned blade Annabeth took for Percy in tlo, on her upper arm
anyone in the battle of manhattan probably got a few scars from it
Gwen getting stabbed through the chest with a pilum during the war games in son, probably on her upper chest with a matching scar slightly lower on her back
Hazel’s death, though oil killed her she did die in a cave in and even though she got a new body her scars may have carried over
Nico’s trek through tartarus
when Cupid shot Nico in the shoulder with one of his arrows
Percy and Annabeth’s trek through tartarus
Percy and Annabeth’s encounter with the Arai (the curses of their enemies)
when Jason got stabbed from behind at the beginning of boo, on his abdomen both front and back
the gash on the side of Annabeth’s neck at the end of boo
Leo’s faked death at the end of boo
Jason has a gap in his hair from a bullet as of hoh
Frank is chubby up until hoh when Mars (unfortunately) decides to “fix” him by making him taller and more muscular
for at least the first four books Annabeth is taller than Percy
Percy has a tooth gap
Piper braids feathers from spoils of war into her hair
Hazel is African American
Piper is Native American
Leo is Latino
Reyna and Hylla are Latina (from Puerto Rico)
Frank is Chinese Canadian
Drew and Ethan are Japanese (assumed from their last names)
Nico’s skin colour is never stated, only that he has an olive undertone and that from botl onward he gets steadily more sickly pale (though as of the end of boo it looks like he’s beginning to lead a healthier lifestyle)
Percy’s camp necklace has six beads as of the end of boo
Annabeth’s has at least ten beads and her father’s college ring
Clarisse, Will, the Stolls, and other campers who are assumed to have been there before Percy probably have a similar amount
Jason, Piper, and Leo’s necklaces all have one bead
Nico’s necklace has anywhere from one to three beads on it, depending on whether or not they gave him ones for his aid in the battle of the labyrinth (probably not) and the battle of manhattan (more likely since he stayed for a while after)
both Nico and Reyna have rings that they twist when they’re anxious/thinking, Nico’s is the shape of a skull and Reyna’s has the symbol of Bellona and is most likely a seal ring
Frank’s bow and quiver can turn into a backpack
Frank spends the majority of their journey in pants that are too small for him because Leo’s an asshole (he loses his extra pants to Leo’s bullying in moa and they go clothes shopping for him in boo)
added onto that, Frank spends a while after his transformation in hoh in clothes that don’t fit until they get him new ones in boo
Leo has pointy elfish ears
both Percy and Leo are described as having lopsided, troublemaker grins
Nico is described as having dark bags under his eyes and looking sickly, and post moa is described as extremely malnourished (though this seems to be slowly getting better by the end of boo)
the longer the books go on the tanner Jason gets and the lighter his hair gets
Jason grew up on the coast of CA and probably can’t handle weather or anything under 68° F without many layers
Reyna’s cape is purple and glimmers gold in the light as of Athena’s blessing near the end of boo
Percy’s eyes are sea green
Hazel’s eyes are gold
Piper’s eyes change colour
Annabeth’s eyes are stormy gray
Jason and Thalia’s eyes are electric blue
don’t let the official art constrain your character designs
This is all I can think of right now, if I missed anything or got anything wrong feel free to add to the list/correct me, I’m a little shaky on what happened in what book…
“the angriest boy in town.” This hurts cuz nobody bothered to know him when he was alive, so he got sticked with “the angry one” but that was just his protective shell and ARGHHHHHH
Thinking about how in the song ‘Full Speed Ahead’ the intro has guitar, drums and when Odyseuss says the phrase, “600 men” and all that jazz, the crew responds. Guitar being Ody’s instrument, precussion being Polites’s and the crew’s vocals as Eury’s. But at the start of ‘Dangerous’ the only instrument playing at the intro is the guitar. No drums, no crew, further emphasising that he’s truely alone now
Idk I’m writing this at 1 am
