I wrote a crossover between HOO and Batfam Wayne family adventures centering Drew Tanaka and I think she would thrive in Adopt me. Thought she'd probably be a scammer Lmao
The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?
I AM INLOVE!!!!
Winx inspired Drew Tanaka๐ค
kinda sad how the tradition of breaking someone's heart was the most interesting thing Rick wrote about the Aphrodite cabin and it was immediately thrown away by Piper
Isn't it ironic how Ever after high, a show adamant on promoting the idea of creating new stories instead of retelling the same ones, was shut down by Disney, a studio that's obsessed with remakes and retelling the same stories ?
Don't mind me. Just venting for the millionth time about a cartoon that didn't get an ending and was basically murdered.๐ฅบ๐ฅบ
I always accidentally read Drew Tanaka's name as Drew Takana ;-; it kidna fits-
THE PICKLED MUSTARD ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Working a little something
โKronos is going to remake the world, we wonโt be shunned anymore with him in chargeโ Nemesisโ eyes flashed with something between confidence and challenge โmy children are always picked on, never the heroes. But you, Ethan, I sense that you will be the one to break that cycle. Join Kronos, let me guide you to greatness, I will help you bring justice to the world.โ Ethan let the words set in, he hated camp, he hated Chiron, he felt like he stuck out here and his schedule almost never lined up with Drewโs in the years heโd been here. But what would it mean to leave, possibly forever? He might not fit in but at least he could see Drew when they had free timeโฆ then again she wasnโt treated fairly here either, she might have a cabin to belong to but everyone made fun of Aphrodite kids; maybe in this new world he could give her a place by his side where neither of them would be picked on.ย
Pairings: Jason x Reyna , Jason x Piper
Tags: Mutual Pining
Warnings: Hurt/little comfort
Summary: Jason hated the situation he ended up in. Being so far from the girl he grew in love with after spending so many summers together. It was his fault though, he had been too much of a coward to be by her side through a tough time and instead chose to entertain a girl he thought could take his mind off her. He chose Piper, but he wanted Reyna. . .
๐ ๐ช๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ซ๐
It was a regular day at Camp Half-Blood, everyone was enjoying their Camp activities and trying to let go of the stress they've acquired from the school year.
Jason on the other hand was trying his best to not crumble away from the guilt that was eating away at him.
He wasn't even where he knew he was supposed to be. Camp Half-Blood wasn't the Camp Jason went to every summer, that Camp was Camp Jupiter.
Yet he wasn't there.
Why?
Because he was too much of a coward to argue against his father, that's why.
He didn't wanna be here, He had no purpose here, yet here he was on an open field completely unfamiliar to him. Bow and arrow in hand because archery was one of the activities at Camp Half-Blood.
"Your form is horrible"
He looked up to see the girl who said that. Brown skin with matching short choppy brown hair with thin braided strands on the sides of her face, and eyes that seemed to change color under the sun. Piper was beautiful, no one would doubt that. He was lucky to have her, but he didn't want to be lucky.
"Really?" Jason said "I don't think it's that bad"
Piper walked closer to Jason and stood behind him "Your back isn't straight and your shoulders are tense" Piper said, she pressed her palm against his back making him fix his posture, before putting them on his shoulders which made him even more tense "Relax, I don't bite" She teased.
Jason could feel her hands through his shirt, they were soft and quite small, though that was expected since Jason was half a foot taller then Piper.
"Somehow I don't believe that" Piper didn't reply and instead just let out a giggle.
Jason looked at her and smiled, he tried to relax his shoulders and put all his focus on the target in front of him. He didn't know why he was taking this so seriously, archery wasn't a popular activity on Camp Jupiter, so he never really got around to practicing it. His favorite activity to do at Camp Jupiter was sword training, the camp had a spacious arena with real swords made out of wood.
He and Reyna would spend all their free time battling it out while spitting out trash talk to each other, it didn't help that both of them were extremely competitive.
Jason was stronger then Reyna, but she had always been faster, and more agile so their duels were nothing short of exciting. Just thinking about them makes him smile.
Reyna would get this determined look on her face whenever he would ask her to spar, followed by a quick witty remark. She would tie her long black hair into a low pony tail before each of their battles- that's how you know she was getting serious- then let it down when they finished. Just thinking about ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ makes him smile
"Are you not gonna shoot?" Piper's voice snaps him out of his daydream, he unintentionally lets go of the arrow and completely misses the target. Jason sighed at his failure meanwhile Piper tried to surpass a laugh "Don't worry, you'll get better" She said "We have all summer together after all"
Yeah... All summer...
๐๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง'๐จ ๐จ๐ช๐ข๐ข๐๐ง had been an unforgettable one, unfortunately not for good reason.
Everything started out normal. Everyone was happy, games were played, Camp fire songs were sung, and marshmallows were roasted.
It wasn't until the end of the summer where things got bad for Camp Jupiter
๐ผ๐ช๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ค๐ ๐ก๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง
Jason had just finished arts and crafts and went off to find Reyna.
He spoted her looking after the younger Campers near the lake wearing a swim vest on top of a purple Camp Jupiter T-shirt with some black shorts. He went over to her and struck up a conversation.
"Has anyone drowned yet?" He asked sarcastically.
"No" Reyna said as she crossed her arms above her chest "But you will if you start getting annoying" It was safe to say that Reyna was not impressed by his joke, but Jason laughed at her response anyway.
"Calm down" He said "I was just trying to lighten your mood. You always seem so tense when you're looking after younger campers"
"Of course, since we've been going to this camp for 8 years, that makes us senior Campers, and it is our job to make sure that the younger ones are safe and have fun" Reyna explained, the way she said it in such a graceful and pristine manner would have made people think that she had political training.
"Is that what you really think or do you just feel responsible because your parents own this place" Jason asked, Reyna elbowed his ribcage earning an "OW!" From Jason.
"Don't mistake responsibility for culpability, Jason Grace" Reyna said
"Whatever you say, your majesty" Jason joked but Reyna only rolled her eyes
"You're one to talk" Reyna said
Jason looked at Reyna with curious confusion "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You've never once stepped a toe out of line, you learn the rules and follow them to a T, you never make assumptions and always try to listen to more then one side of a story" Reyna explained "I mean, I like that about you, but damn you are uptight"
"That's because my father would make me do very fun things whenever I do something he doesn't approve of. You seem to like the kind of power struggle we have going on around at Camp" Jason playfully taunted as he poked a finger at her shoulder
"I do not! Plus I'm not listening to a Nepo Baby" Reyna said while swatting his hand away.
"Hey!" Jason yelled, Reyna laughed at his offended look which made Jason roll his eyes but also feel warm on the inside because he loves to hear her laugh "You know- you just hurt one of your campers feelings" Jason said, referring to himself "That's not very responsible if you, Reyna"
Reyna's laughter started to fade so she just looked at him with a smile.
The pair had a moment of silence for a couple of seconds, taking in the scenery around them and blushing when their hands accidentally brushed against each others.
"Ehm... Speaking of responsibilities" Reyna said "A few new campers wanted to try the rock climbing wall but needed a senior camper to supervise, so I told our Camp director that you'd do it"
"Alright" Jason's said "when?"
"In about 20 minutes, so you better go now"
"Seriously? Now?" Jason said in an overly dramatic way with a frown on his face "We just started hanging out and you wanna get rid of me so soon?" He put his hand in a fist and placed it on his chest where his heart should be to insinuate it being crushed.
Reyna just laughed at him again "Don't be so dramatic, besides..." She took his hands in her own and looked at him "We've had quiet the summer together" Reyna said as she smiled at him.
Jason blushed and turned his head away from her. They bid their goodbyes and Jason went off to the rock climbing wall. Where everything would eventually go wrong.
๐ ๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ง
"YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT THIS WAS ALL JUST AN ACCIDENT?! HAVE YOU SEEN THE STATE MY SON WAS IN?!" A woman that looked like she was in her late 40s yelled.
Sitting in the spectator seats in the courtroom, unable to do anything other watch her father get yelled at by this woman- Reyna tried her very best to put on a brave face.
Last summer had been so messy that even now- a brand new summer year has come and it still hasn't been cleaned yet.
Her father had insisted that she should be at Camp Jupiter and not here and she agrees, none of this should have been happening.
She should be spending time with her friends at Camp Jupiter as they all teased her about Jason, hearing how they couldn't believe that they weren't a couple yet despite being so close for over 8 years.
Despite the disaster of last year, she hoped that she and Jason would finally get together, but Jason didn't even attend Camp Jupiter this year. She knew that it was probably because his father didn't want him to continue going there because of this scandal, but even so, she expected to at least receive an update from him. Even though it was unlikely since he also hasn't been answering her texts nor picking up her calls. She can understand why but it still made her mad that Jason couldn't stand up to his father.
๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ
They used to spend hours and hours texting and talking on the phone. He would talk to her about fencing and the dozen other after school clubs his dad would make him take while also ranting about how terrifying his dad could be sometimes. While Reyna would talk about her day and occasionally rant about annoying customers she would encounter while working at her after school job.
It was hard to believe that she can't even get a hold of him now.
They went to two different schools in two different states so the only time they got to see each other face to face was during the summer, despite that, the distance was never a problem between them, they were best friends, they found a way to talk to each other, yet the one time of the year where they were supposed to be together and he's not here.
"I completely understand" Reyna's Father pleaded "We are willing to compensate and take responsibility-"
"IF YOU WANNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEN SHUT THAT PLACE DOWN!" A man that looked to be the same age as the woman cut off Reyna's father mid sentence.
This was torturous.
"Alright alright, Mr. and Mrs. Harris please calm down" The Judge said as he hit his gravel against the table in an attempt to get everyone to settle down.
"Your honor... How could you expect two parents to calm down? Especially after this?" The woman- Mrs Harris- argued. Everyone could see the way her eyebrows furrowed as her face wrinkled in anger " I sent my son to that summer Camp thinking that it would be good for him- you know- get away from screens and do some physical activities. I expected him to get home to me in one piece at the end of the summer, not suddenly get a phone call telling me that he sustained major injuries after falling off the rock climbing wall! And I certainly didn't expect the cause to be old faulty equipment that you couldn't bother to replace!"
"For the last time Madam! We buy new equipment every two years! That couldn't have been the real reason" Reyna's father reasoned "Besides, isn't it too much to ask our Camp to shut down? It's not like the kid died"
Reyna winced at the last sentence her father said, or rather, shouldn't have said.
This of course made Mrs Harris loose her mind.
"EXCUSE ME?! WOULD YOU PREFERRED IT IF HE DID?! EVEN IF HE DIDN'T DIE HE WAS STILL HEAVILY INJURED!" Reyna's dad went silent. Mrs. Harris' lawyer was trying to calm her down.
Reyna began to drown out the noise in the courtroom, she reached into her pocket to pull out her phone, she scrolled through her messages and clicked on the one titled "Blonde Boy ๐" where Reyna sent walls of messages to Jason

He didn't reply to a single one, but she knew that he saw them, Jason was not the type to leave their messages unread.
Reyna gripped the phone on her hand until the tip of her fingers turned red. She hated Jason at this moment, for not being right next to her, for disappearing, and for not answering her texts. But despite that she still desperately tried to reach him.
She typed and erased messages to send to him over and over again, not knowing what else to say, until she felt a tap on she shoulder. Reyna looked up and saw her father.
"The judge called for a recess" Her father said with kind but tired eyes "c'mon let's get something to eat, you must be starving" Reyna nodded and got up from her seat.
Walking next to her father, Reyna looked at her phone again, she deleted the message she typed and started typing a new one.

Jason had read and reread that message a pathetic amount of times over the month, so much so that the message was embedded in his head.
๐๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ฆ.
๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฆ.
Reyna was openly saying that she wanted to spend the rest of summer with him like they were supposed to, and God knew that he wanted the same, he wanted nothing else in fact.
"Your food's gonna get cold if you just stare at it, Jason" Jason looked at Thalia- his older sister- as she continued to eat.
"Do you not like Barbeque? I could ask our Head Councilor to get you something else if you want" Piper asked, kind and considerate as always, now he was starting to feel bad.
"Oh no, I'm good, just... Thinking about stuff..."
"What kind of stuff?" Piper asked
"Just... Stuff" Jason answered
"... Okay... I'm gonna grab a plate of fruit, you want some too?"
"Yeah sure, why not"
"Grab me one too if you don't mind" Thalia said
"Alright, I'll be back in a bit" Piper said before leaving the two alone in the little picnic table they were sitting on.
"She's nice" Thalia said "Pretty too. Mom picked a good one for yah"
"Why is mom so quick to try and pair me up with some random girl that goes to my school who I've bearly even talked to until now? She knows that I-..." Jason stopped talking and closed his mouth. He thought about Reyna 24/7 ever since the accident but couldn't bring himself to talk about her or even mention her name. Jason gripped his spoon as a dark cloud loomed over his face.
Thalia placed her utensils down as she looked at her younger brother.
"Then why are you going along with this?" Thalia asked.
"What?"
"I'm asking why you're going along with this, Jason. Why didn't you put up a fight when dad told you that he was pulling you out of Camp Jupiter and signing you up here in Camp Half-Blood?"
"I-..."
"When mom told you that there was a girl she wanted you to get close to, why did you say "sure" ?"
"Well I-"
"Why do you always say yes to Piper whenever she asks if you two can hang out?"
"Because I-"
"Why did you tell mom that you and Piper were getting along well?"
"Because we-"
"And why are you leading both Piper and Reyna on?"
Jason was getting pretty irritated since Thalia was asking him all these questions but wasn't letting him answer them, but her last question had him speechless. So instead of answering he took a bite out of a barbecue skewer and stared off into space.
Thalia sighed and placed a hand on Jason's shoulder.
"Listen, J... I don't know a lot about Reyna, I don't know a lot about Piper either. But I have seen you with both of them and honestly... Your smile is a lot bigger when you're with Reyna and you have a long history with her, but you care way to much about what she thinks of you. You're not like that with Piper, with Piper, you don't care, you act however you want, you act like yourself. I'm not trying to get you to choose one over the other but if you don't, then you're gonna end up with neither one of them"
Jason stared at his plate. Thalia was right, but he didn't need to be told who to choose. He didn't even have to contemplate. He wanted Reyna, he knew he wanted Reyna, but Reyna wasn't easy, if he wanted to be with Reyna then he was gonna need to do something his father would not approve of, and God knows how much he doesn't wanna do that.
"I know..." Jason said "I just don't know whether or not I can put up a fight"
"Don't worry. You can, and you will" Thalia said, taking her hand off his shoulder.
Jason smiled at her before he saw reddish-brown smudge on his shoulder
"Eww, you got barbeque sauce on my shirt!" Jason exclaimed trying to wipe it off with a tissue.
"No I didn't!" Thalia argued
"Yes you did, It's right there!" Jason said, pointing the obvious stain on his orange shirt.
"There's nothing there!"
"Yes there is!"
The two of them bickered until Piper came back with the plates of fruit.
That night he couldn't sleep again, but not because Reyna sent him another text. This time, he was wondering if and how he can stop being such a coward.
He got up, reached for his phone, and dialed a number.
"Hey Leo, sorry calling you in the middle of the night but... I need a favor..."
๐ผ๐ช๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ
Jason wrote a letter. It wasn't a very long one, but he knew that the words in that piece of paper could get Mrs. Harris to drop the lawsuit, though it would cost him a lot.

Miraculously it worked. Mr. And Mrs. Harris dropped the charges at Camp Jupiter and went after Jason- or more accurately his father- instead. He didn't really know what took place between Mr. And Mrs Harris, his father, and both their lawyers, but he imagined that his father had to pull some strings to satisfy the couple.
Strings that his father was definitely not happy to pull by the look on his face after he demanded that Jason be pulled out of summer camp and be brought home.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" His father yelled, Jason tried his best not to flinch '๐ช๐ต๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ'๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ' he thought.
"I wasn't" Jason answered.
"CLEARLY!" Jason's father started to make his way towards him until they were standing only 2 feet apart. Jason felt his father harshly grab his jaw, forcing him to look at his father's face which was red with fury.
"I have given you ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, Jason. A roof over your head, a good school- I even pay hundreds of dollars every year so that you can attend that damn summer camp you love so much, and this is how you repay me?" Mr. Grace said, there were no traces of the doting father he never was in his tone.
He so sounded harsh and cold that it made Jason wanna break down, get on his knees and apologize.
"You embarrassed my name and made me LOOK LIKE A DAMN FOOL IN FRONT OF THOSE PEOPLE" Jason father let go of Jason's jaw before grabbing his cane and using it to hit Jason on the head so hard that he fell off his feet as blood started pouring out of his forehead.
Jason looked up to find his father glaring daggers at him while he pointed his cane in his direction.
"If I had known that you would be this worthless then I would have abandoned you in a forest for wolves to eat"
That was the last thing his father said before walking out of the room.
It hurt.
The wound on his forehead and his father's words. He knew that he didn't actually do anything wrong, but they still hurt.
Jason spent the rest of the summer locked in his room with no phone, he didn't mind since summer would basically be over next week. He read and reread books to keep himself entertained but he thought about Reyna and Camp Jupiter constantly.
When they first learned about the law suit Reyna was restless. Constantly asking her parents for updates about the situation, checking and re-checking the equipment they used in other activities, at one point, she even tried to contact Mr. and Mrs. Harris to beg them to let go of the charges, of course that attempt was un successful.
It hurt Jason to see her so worried and anxious, it hurt to see how hard she would try to told back her tears and look okay when they were together because everyone knew how much she loves Camp Jupiter.
How could she not?
She basically grew up there.
Jason loved that place too.
How could he not?
He spent the best moments of his life there.
He couldn't bear the though of it all just... Shutting down.
Just thinking about it kept him up at night.
He knew that it was unethical to create a false confession letter, but in his mind it was the easiest way, plus him being there when it happened made his confession more believable. Besides, he knew that nothing too bad would actually happen to him.
His father was a wealthy man that could get Jason out of whatever BS he gets himself into. He couldn't bare to have people know how much of a screw up his son was. Especially since his father cared more about his reputation than him.
There was another thing keeping Jason up at night, and it was this nagging voice in his head that constantly asked if it was a good idea that he used himself as a scapegoat so that Reynaโs parents would come out innocent when they weren't.
Faulty equipment ๐ธ๐ข๐ด the reason Oliver fell.
He was there, he would know.
Oliver had told him that he was well acquainted with rock climbing, and since Jason had been looking after 15 other campers that were younger then Oliver. He let him do his own thing.
He now realizes that he probably should have been looking after him as well but he was too busy helping out the younger kids that when Oliver screamed and fell, there was nothing he could do expect call for paramedics.

It was the beginning of theschool year again, meaning that he got his phone back.
His text messages were open and his finger was hovering over a contact name titled "Reyna ๐"
He had a thousand words he wanted to say to her yet he couldn't type a single one. He ended up sitting completely still while starring at his phone for the entirety of his first class. The only thing that snapped him back into reality was the sound of the bell.
"Here, you're gonna need this" He looked at Piper who had been sitting next to him the entire time as she placed a notebook down on his desk. "These are my notes. Our teacher, Mr. Smith kept the orientation short and jumped right into his lesson"
"Uh- thanks" Jason reached for the notebook but something in him stopped him from doing so. She expects something from him, or more specifically. She expects to be a certain ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ to him.
"๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง ๐ค๐ฃ?" He remembers her sister saying. He didn't wanna lead anyone on.
He took a deep breath and put his hands down on his lap.
"Listen Piper, umm... Maybe we should talk" Jason said, he looked around the classroom and saw that everyone had already left to go to their next class.
"Okay... What?"
"I'm sorry... I know that- you have feelings for me and... You're a great girl, anyone would be lucky to have you but... There's someone else I'm pining for" Jason waited for a response from Piper, he waited for her to yell at him or something but she didn't, instead she asked something he didn't expect.
"Is it that girl, Reyna?" Piper asked, her fists were clenched under her table.
"How- how did you know about her?"
"I overheard your conversation with Thalia after I grabbed us some fruit. She sounds like someone special to you" Her voice cracked at the last sentence, she didn't know why she had caught such strong feelings for a guy she doesn't really know. They had gone to the same school for over 5 years but have bearly talked, but still.
She would admire him from afar as he talked and laughed with his friends almost daily. He was a nice guy, friendly and fair to everyone, so it felt like a daydream having spent an entire summer with him. It made her feel like she had a chance.
"Yeah... She is special... And I know that you are too for someone out there just... Not me"
๐๐ช๐๐
"Can't we just-... Try...? Try this and see if this works out?"
"We can't"
"Why not?"
"Because we'd just be lying to ourselves by trying to make it work, I would know... I did" Throughout the summer Jason ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ, he really ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ to forget about Reyna. It was a selfish move but that was why he entertained Piper and made her think that ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ would happen between them.
"Lying?" Piper said, the heartbreak in her voice was audible "What do you mean " You would know"? "
"I-"
"Jason I know that- that I'm comparable to Reyna and that we haven't spent as much time together but I thought that this- this summer would... ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ to you"
Jason stayed silent, it seemed like all his stupid decisions have finally caught on to him, he knew he couldn't afford to make more, he knew he had end this.
"One summer doesn't compare to eight. Piper... Listen I do like you but-"
"You ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ me, but you ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ her" Tears threatened to escape Piper's eyes, but she held it in.
"Yeah... That's right... I'm sorry Piper, but I don't hold any romantic feelings for you" Jason said, he hoped that phrasing it that way instead of directly saying 'I don't love you' would soften the blow but unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case as tears finally started running down Piper's cheeks.
"I see... I'll uh-... I'll see you later then" She said before storming out of the classroom, leaving Jason and forgetting her notebook.
He looked at the notebook for a while, then looked at his phone, more specifically the contact number titled "Reyna ๐"
He knew he didn't deserve someone like Piper. So he probably didn't deserve someone like Reyna either.
With a heavy heart, he put his phone back into his pocket, grabbed Piper's notebook, and headed to his next class.
