Random PJO Thought: Would A Mosquito Die If They Drink A Demigods Blood? Since Like- You Know, They're

THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING! THANK YOU FOR LAYING IT OUT!!

Hey hey hey, remember how Drew (and Lacy) was mentioned as going to the same school as Sadie in The Serpent's Shadow? So it's like. Implied the two of them are a similar age, especially since they clearly interact plenty, with Sadie knowing her full name and such? I dunno about you, but I never interacted much with kids out of my age range at school, so it's basically implied they're close in age — when Sadie is thirteen (Lacy being said to be a year younger than her).

So, like. What if Drew's. Younger than Piper, actually? By like. A year or so, so she'd be fourteen, rather than the popularly accepted 16/17. I know The Lost Hero tries to say the oldest demigod at the cabin automatically becomes counselor unless challenged by someone who's been on more quests, but Annabeth was counselor at twelve, so I call bullshit and accept the demigod-that's-been-at-camp-the-longest rule as the one automatically takes the role when needed (also, there's nothing saying fourteen wouldn't be the oldest in the cabin post-war, anyways). So Drew could easily not be the oldest in the cabin, and still have to deal with suddenly being head of her family, on top of her older sister being revealed as a traitor, the grief of losing several siblings and friends, and the PTSD that comes with being a soldier.

I just think that'd be very fun for her <3

(And then just. Imagine Piper realizing that maybe she's the oldest, and her younger siblings took part in a war (that was arguably worse than the Giant War Piper was a part of), and maybe that's why Drew's a bit too much of a bitch sometimes, rather than just Girly Girls being automatically evil.)

THIS! BECAUSE IT'S SO TRUE!!!

sorry but people who forgive Luke Castellan but not Drew Tanaka are severely fucked up to me

clearly there's some sort of internalised misogyny and trauma from bullies in you, because if you honestly think a teen girl who is mean to people* is worse than someone who literally tried to murder a twelve year old (percy), and lead to the deaths of several other teenagers (manhattan) you have another thing coming

*i should add that from what we see, Drew Tanaka is mean to people from what we see of her. We see her three days after the unofficial camp leader has been kidnapped from the one place everyone thought was safe and less than a year after she fought in at least one battle against her former friends and family, likely watched her sister die, and is probably dealing with PTSD from that.

Let's not forget she's Sadie Kane's age, which means at most we're seeing her when she's 13-14. 14, and in charge of at least 4 siblings. Also, the fact she's counselor means she's been at camp the longest. that means, that at the age of (likely) thirteen (possibly twelve) she was made counselor after being at camp the longest. that means she likely also fought in the battle of the labyrinth, which meant she participated in the minor skirmishes preceding manhattan that percy mentions, which means that this 14 year old is a war veteran by the time we see her for the first time.

Drew is frequently put down in Piper's mind, not only for being mean, but for being girly, for liking pink and perfume and caring about her appearance. that isn't feminism, that's internalized misogyny. That's piper in a 'not like other girls' phase. piper is an unreliable narrator but we aren't talking about that.

also, drew isn't wrong that piper knew nothing about silena. like, piper was thinking about betraying them the entire time she was at camp for her dad.

and silena was a traitor. i don't deny she was probably groomed but honestly what a slap in the face it must have been to be thirteen, returning to home, a room you share with six-ten other kids, and to know that some of your best friends are dead, in no small part to your sister who sold them out.

but nobody is talking about that, because Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson, the heroes who are barely there, say Silena's a hero, and that means it's true, right?

It doesn't matter that her friends are dead, doesn't matter that mothers will never see their daughters again. That drew will never forget how her sister's blood felt on her skin. because if they say it, it must be true, right?

the fact luke castellan (mostly forgiven for being hot) (and angry, but drew tanaka is angry and none of you forgive her) is a goddamn tragedy and honestly she deserves a retcon or at the very least for people to understand that HOO is not black and white, and for you to look at characters that way is a detriment to analysis.

So there's this WebToon called "Batman: Wayne Family adventures" and I absolutely love it, I loved it so much that I sorta wanna write a crossover fanfic about it about Drew Tanaka becoming a Robin after the battle of Manhattan. I also wanna add some Drew x Leo in there if you know what I mean, not just because I like the ship but also because I wanna give my boy Leo a better life

Yes it will extend this fic to the events of TLH and I'll make Drew go on the mission instead of Piper

I already finished writing the first chapter but I'm posting this to ask if anyone would be interested in reading it because I need validation, so tell me if you wanna read it.

Do you guys ever think that Percy dreads going to Camp Half-Blood? I genuinely believe that the only reason he stayed was for Annabeth and Grover

Because I saw this TikTok and realized that Camp Half-Blood may not be that sanctuary for him that most people think it is.

For example:

In his first year, people avoided him after finding out that he was the son of Poseidon (which is right after he was starting to feel like he belongs btw so that feeling must have been worse) It got better after his quest, but still.

Then his second year people bullied/made fun of him because of Tyson to the point that he was embarrassed of him.

Then in his third year, he was basically cast aside because of Thalia's return.

Don't even get me started in his fourth and fifth year.

He went into that boat with Beckendorf and came back alone to deliver the news that he's dead. Then all hell broke loose in CHB in the battle of the labyrinth.

The battle of Manhattan was fucking gruesome, and he didn't even finish his fifth year because he was kidnapped by Hera.

No wonder he chose to New Rome.

Can someone answer my question because I am so perplexed.

Is the Roman version of Artemis- which is Diana- the same Diana that is Wonder Woman?

I'm writing a crossover fic and I am SUFFERING

Chiron: For the last time, where is Malcolm?! Drew: For the last time I don't know. Jeez, you think I keep him on a leash?

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.🥺🥺

So I've been thinking about Jason and Reyna lately, so can someone please recommend me some fanfics where Jason runs towards Reyna and hugs her when he finally returns to Camp Jupiter PLEASE I NEED MY JEYNA!!!

The amount of research my perfectionist self puts into writing fan fiction is actually driving me insane. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A PICTURE OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE BATCAVE BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T FIND A GOOD ONE!! 😭😭
