she's been waiting the whole adventure for the punchline.

This is a neutral post

Feel free to stop here and rest before journeying to the posts below.

I haven’t drawn the twins in a long time, so here is some old art.

would he fucking say that? let's investigate.

Grover in Heroes of Olympus

i know you guys are probably really tired about me being forever bitter about grover’s very very very small presence in heroes of olympus (like a couple of dream sequences were all we really got)

but seriously just imagine how well he would have fit in the series. imagine if he had been the satyr instead of coach hedge (i like hedge, but seriously, imagine)

think about all the different friendships he could have had!!

he could have bonded with piper over being a vegetarian, they would have probably tried to convince the rest of the seven to be vegetarian as well 

imagine leo complaining about how he was a third wheel to jason and piper and grover is just like buddy, you think you had it bad??

imagine leo making enchiladas one night and grover is just like i love you

also this is so self-indulgent but he and hazel would have just such a soft friendship like think about how pure it would be 

also reminder that grover has had a lot of experience with big three kids (he found thalia, percy, nico and bianca) so he would probably be able to help jason and hazel and just talk to them about it?

also jason, hazel and frank would all be super surprised because they’re used to the fauns being not so helpful but this guy is awesome

also remember he is the literal lord of the wild. lord of the wild.

he is super powerful?? he would have been such a great asset on the quest 

like when they encountered all the sea monsters, they’re wild things, he would probably have knowledge of them? maybe even able to control them?

his pan pipes can be deadly (and they also have the bonus of providing light-hearted entertainment in the evening so!! that’s good!) 

also imagine how much he would help frank with his powers? 

like remember frank only realised his powers at the end of the SoN, and it was meant to be quite difficult to get used to but he suddenly became an expert 

with grover that would actually make sense 

grover, being the lord of the wild, could help frank come to terms with his powers, give him advice on what animals to turn to, etc. 

(sidenote but imagine the training montage!) 

ok and don’t get me started on percy and annabeth 

imagine the reunion scene at camp jupiter 

percy would go up to him grinning and be like “so you found me” 

and grover would be like “isn’t that what i do?” 

and then they hug and it is beautiful and this is the real bromance we need 

and listen ok i will fight you if you think grover wouldn’t jump into tartarus after his two best friends because we all know he would

like imagine tartarus being a quest with the three of them like it was in the beginning

imagine all of them lending support to each other

imagine how much that would have felt like a full circle because it was the three of them that started all of this together and now they’re back in the most dangerous place ever but at least they’re together

to paraphrase a grover quote: “ah, the three of us back together, in literal hell, monsters and fire everywhere, fighting for our lives…just like the good old days, isn’t it?” 

why couldn’t we have had this WHY
