have the rest of the siblings actually seen five in action? do they have any idea how deadly he is?

ok i know there was a bit at the end of season one when they were being attacked by the commission people and they saw him briefly the. he’s told diego and luther that he is more dangerous than hazel and cha-cha who the rest of the accademy fought so have so idea of how good they are. they also should know he help his own against both hazel and cha-cha and then against lila who they all figured was pretty dangerous by that point. diego knows he killed those guys in the doughnut shop and then the board of directors but he didn’t actually see how it happened and when they were fighting the sweeds diego was probably too busy being attacked to see him. i guess luther saw him fighting his older self but was probably to distracted from being kicked to really notice. i don’t know how many missions he went on but he was only 13 then so anything they remember from then isn’t really a good representation of how he is now

i just want a scene where they are cornered by a big group and five’s had enough a just slaughters them all and his siblings look at him with incredulity as they realise just how glad he’s with them and not against them

modern au where jack typically bleaches his hair bc personal reasons(he’s more comfortable looking like his godfather north!) but is growing out his natural hair for some reason or the other. 

merida has always been outnumbered but now she’s also lost her partner in crime. spare her. 

In a fanfiction I had someone say that if it weren't for Percy's fatal flaw of loyalty, he never would have sided with Olympus at all, or drown a bunch of children in a river. That he picked sides based not on what his morals or beliefs were but based on which side had people he was already friends with. And I spinned the loyalty flaw in that way.

i see that, but again i don’t think that’s necessarily true. I just think he has a strong moral compass. He’s ANGRY at the gods, and i genuinely believe that if he knew people wouldn’t get hurt in the process, he wouldn’t hesitate to go against the gods, but hurting innocent people goes against his morals. he feels no loyalty to the gods whatsoever, his drive is to do the right thing, which in every instance has just so happened to be in favor of the gods. The ONLY reasons he didn’t side with kronos is 1) he didn’t want to cause destruction and death, and 2) when you boil it down, he didn’t agree with the fundamentals of kronos’ side. I think at one point in the hoo, percy actually mentions something about sympathizing with luke (correct me if im wrong), and as we can see throughout that series, he is tired of everything related to the gods.

 he’s constantly trying to keep himself in check, like with akhlys, like when he’s just about ready to kill nico in tlo, we see it in his inner monologues, the scene in ttc with thalia, the scene in tlo with luke where percy gives him the knife, the scene in moa where he is with annabeth before her solo quest. In all of these situations, percy is struggling to be in control of the situation. he has a constant desire to control the things around him, which stems from his upbringing (being abused and bullied will do that to a person). 

a lot of his story is spent in a battle for control, and when he loses control of a situation (think akhlys, or that scene in boo where he is suffocating in the poison) is when things start to become fatal. if it wasn’t for annabeth in the scene with akhlys, he would have completely snapped and lost it, and there’s even a quote there where he explains that “something inside him shattered” or something along those lines. who knows what he would have done after that, but im willing to bet it wouldn’t have ended well. Ironically, he has to control his desire for control constantly. 

I think one of the things that makes this flaw so deep is the fact that “control” encompasses so many things! Control includes his loyalty, his recklessness/impulsiveness, his rage, his power, his emotions, and way more!

and the whole “loyalty” thing is experienced by other characters, too. Annabeth jumping in front of the knife in tlo stems from her loyalty to percy. Percy trying to save annabeth in moa (which ultimately fails, but) stems from his loyalty to her. Clarisse fighting in the battle of Manhatten after silena dies stems from her loyalty to silena. thalia not joining kronos in ttc stems from her loyalty to family (annabeth). luke making the decision to take the knife and end it in tlo stems from his loyalty to the promise he made (despite getting a little lost along the way). 

I don’t think it’s fair for his flaw to be loyalty when its not properly explored, and so many other characters also experience the same sense of loyalty.

a lot of this is just rambling, but it’s 1 am and think this gets my point across enough? in conclusion, loyalty is something he struggles with control over, therefore, it is just a small piece of his fatal flaw, control.

man could you imagine if you were a demigod in kronos’s army and you’ve been lowkey worried cause the other side has a child of the big three as their frontman and he’s been extremely formidable in battle before but finally Kronos has a physical form and has bathed in the river styx and your army outnumbers them severly but then during the final battle you hear whispers that the son of poseidon has been single handedly wiping out droves of monsters and weapons aren’t breaking his skin either and he just straight up destroyed a whole ass bridge?? I’d abandon the cause so fast I mean—

I like to imagine Jack having vague memory flashbacks/nightmares of his life as Nightlight, and his ice forming echoes of his armor and spear if he loses himself in it. Because I am a sucker for angst.
