Octavian!

Octavian!

Do I know what I am going to write in this? Vaguely. More headcanons because I want to take a break from that rendering of Octavian because I want to work and make something better than putting effort into something I won’t be proud of or whatever.

Also I just want to keep talking about him but whatever,

Octavian never been outside of Camp Jupiter/New Rome is canon in my mind. There have been very few times he has been outside the little bubble, which were,

The Wolf House: where he really just stayed close to the house (obvi. Course I’d love to talk more about the exacts but since we get no information about the wolf house though it’d be a pretty good way to start SoN and then seamlessly blend us into a timeskip of the Gorgon chase but whatever- we are given no information about the wolf house either and aaaaa-) but the Wolf House Octavian mentality was survive through with his wits and try to survive enough to run out of there as soon as possible when he has the training done.

His quest: we get no information on it, but we know that he had to do a quest to become a Centurion (Can confirm this is a rule, check the Senate scene near the beginning, I believe it was Larry the legionnaire that yelled it) though we also, sadly, get no indication what this question was. But I’d like to introduce the idea that it was a duo quest with Michael and Octavian and they became Centurions together (I’ll probably re-read this and then add more on later) but I’d assume this Question also has them steeped pretty deep into the mythological side of the world and they didn’t get much down time. But what little of the mortal world Octavian saw he thought was pretty cool- though he still thinks New Rome looks better. (Because if anyone walks up to me and says the current era of architecture we’re in is better than anything that predates the freaking 1950’s is lying to me and trying to make me buy a house. We have fallen as a society when we started thinking ultra minimalist boring homes that are devoid of any depth or visual interest was the best route to go for our buildings. But that’s another rant from me for another day-)

Siege of Mt.Tam: they had to travel the smallest bit for this but again, didn’t interact with the mortal world much, they all stayed pretty self contained to the temporary camp and the mountain itself.

The cross country trip to go attack the Greeks: this is the one we’re shown in canon or whatever. But this was probably the most chaotic of the times that Octavian had been out of Camp. It was a lot to deal with, really overwhelming to be stuck with everyone with no where to move or anything. But this would be the most he would really interact with stuff like fast food chains, gas stations, all the stuff. And New York, that was a thing that happened. I believe they briefly passed through New York (we know that at some point they’re inside of New York from the Rachel scene if I remember properly) and that meant Hotels, it was similar enough to the barracks that it was fine. Though I think that the whiplash from New Rome to this made Octavian a lot more hesitant about stuff like these cities. He likes modern culture to some extent (insert another Build-a-bear joke. And if anyone asks, I believe he totally gets them delivered to calcedott tunnel instead of going out to a physical store. He has never had the experience and childlike splendor of making one that that needs to change.)

Anyway yeah. I would also like to say that Octavian is okay on a string instrument. However I would like to say that he put all his eggs into one figurative basket when he was a small child by learning one full song only. A 6 year old Octavian skipped over learning reading notes and whatever and just copying the motions until it sounded okay. He doesn’t really know how to read stuff like notes or whatever but has a pretty okay sense of Rhythm.

Don’t ask him to dance though. Octavian may look a little more elegant moving around or fighting but he is an actual newborn giraffe.

Okay that’s all I have for now. Have a rad time and I’ll get out the next couple passes of the CJ map.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Newest renditions of Camp Jupiter

Map!

I was chugging along in my Science class while we sat through a video and I decided to work on it a little more. I’d like to say this is the final ‘I’m just winging it guys on the draft based on my current knowledge’ type sketch. When I get home I’ll work on the last finishing touches and then I’ll get it on a bigger paper and all Inked out :]

Some obvious things here is stuff like the gate placement and whatnot. But from all I’ve read and chose to interpret as such (and not have other buildings randomly across the via principalis*?*) and if I remember correctly many recreations of maps for these legionary camps (that I’ve taken inspiration from) they do similar things, (as shown below),

Of course these are just reference pictures- I took my creative liberties and also looked through actual written articles and stuff, but I figured I’d also mention the whole Principa thing because it confused me too but for the sake of the map looking nicer and whatever I’ll follow along the more historical angle.

But the map should be officially drawn out, labeled and stuff before the release of the PJO tv show!!

IM DRAWING BABY FRESH FACED OCTAVIAN

not like baby-baby but little stick bug 12 year old Octavian,

This was really quick and fast because I just wanted to have fun and HEHEHEH

Octavian is so silly and i guess this qualifies as concept art for baby Octavian

Sorry the shading might look a little weird on some parts I was on a multiply layer and just messing around

Anyway I haven’t posted art in a while but like whatever, it’s my page when have I ever been concistent

Lityerses (Specifically Pjo canon Lit) hc where he has flecks of gold discolored skin/freckles from all the times that his Dad accidentally turned him to gold (omg I typed stone originally-)?

Idk I just wanted to talk about Lit.

Okay goodnight.

Guys!!!! I like never talk about school buuuut,

I got Secretary on my Drama club council! I’m so happy, our director said I did a good job :]

Also we’re gonna do a Beauty and the Beast production, fingers crossed to get LeFou when we audition!!

Anyway i have a Octavian HC post down the line, and a brief update on the map because I’ve done the 2nd and 3rd passes of Camp during science today (we were watching a video don’t worry)

But yeah! That’ll be down the line and probably posted later today!

I’m on the bus and one of these kids pulls out a full tub of vanilla ice cream
