I Would Pay To Read A Book About The Alphabet If It Was Written By Madeline Millar

I would pay to read a book about the alphabet if it was written by Madeline Millar

De-Aged Percy Headcannon

When Percy was struck by a wayward curse to take him back to 6 years old for a week, everyone thought it would be funny. This is the kid who got kicked out of every school he went to, who fired canons and wrecked aquariums.

It’s not funny.

Percy stutters. Terribly. Nearly every word is stilted, every sentence an incredible effort. He’s shy, and avoids speaking all together if he can. It’s worse when he’s upset.

Percy’s cute, adorable even, but small in an unhealthy way, too skinny and knobbly to be just young age. When he’s frightened or intimidated (and gods is the fear in those green eyes clear) he makes use of this in a practiced way, curling up to be as tiny and unobtrusive as possible. He’s almost fragile.

Percy’s terrified of men, and he flinches constantly. He ducks and hides away from Frank, Jason, Leo, Nico, the Stolls and especially Mr.D. Those who should be friends are viewed with only a deep wariness. Efforts are made and he warms up to most of them, but he’s rarely fully relaxed without Annabeth or another girl there with him.

Everyone thought tiny Percy would be hilarious. And for the most part he is a curious, laughing child with a troublemaking smile. But most also forget that the tall, athletic, twice hero of Olympus was not always the man he is now. That at age 12, barley introduced to their world, he helped his mother murder his step father. Everyone had their suspicions why but…

It’s pretty clear now.

Will Solace Headcannon

I’m an absolute sucker for outside POV and while I’m not complaining most of them are centred around Percy in school or out in NYC etc when there’s a fantastic opportunity for one Will Solace to show off his own talents.

Give me Will Solace in his first year of medical school inexplicably having wayyyy too much experience with surgeries, emergencies medicine and really serious wounds etc.

This Texas kid who has just shown up out of seemingly nowhere does not bat an eye when people come in with the most gruesome injuries the senior doctors have ever seen. While the rest of the juniors are being ushered out before they throw up or feint Will’s just standing there like normal Tuesday, how can I help :)

He quickly gets nicknamed ‘golden boy’ by peers and mentors alike for 2 reasons. The first is Will is just really freaking easy to find. There’s not a whole lot of honey blond, over 6 foot, tanned, muscled and southern residents wondering around the hospital who can look that good in scrubs.

The second is he is just genuinely the best they have ever seen. Will’s stitches are immaculate, his manner with patients soothes them instantly and he’s basically unflappable under pressure; He excels in emergency situations, completely comfortable in his own natural authority and the people he’s supposed to be learning from completely forget he’s technically only in his first year.

I just want to see a little outside appreciation for Will Solace, who has effectively been running his own hospital for years.

Where is my niche power Percy Jackson content?

Obviously as a demigod he is immensely if not the most powerful out there, but besides the storm bringing and earth shaking, I think it would be so funny if Percy was also just littered with incredibley random gifts on the side.

Percy can canonically talk to ALL marine life and horses. Where is the mortal outside POV of Percy appearing at a horse ranch and just baffling everyone as this kid proceeds to prove that horse whisperers are somehow real. Give me Percy riding in on the wildest horse there absolutely unfazed and unintentionally reenacting every horse girls dreams.

In canon he can also tell his exact coordinates when at sea. Watch Paul lose his goddamn mind out on a sailboat asking Percy in dense fog where they are and Percy just listing off a string of numbers and walking off to guide them home in what looks like a completely random direction.

Canonically Percy can sail any boat, but what truly qualifies as a boat? Watch Percy and his friends sending Percy out to sea in a shopping cart with a napkin and straw taped on top as a sail and he just bobs away to wherever he wants to go. Again he is completely unfazed while everyone loses their minds because Percy is somehow floating in a literal sieve.

A Percy who can, with the correct concentration, give himself a tail, but just gets himself into an H20 type situation where it’s just happening at the most inappropriate times. Various demigods have had to carry Percy back home when he inevitably gets stuck as a half fish throughout his day. One minute he’s at a Roman senate, the next Franks having to drag him out like a bag of potatoes.

Percy who in dark water is bioluminescent. Everyone makes fun of Will for glowing but it is one of Percy’s deepest darkest secrets that if you put him in the bathtub and turn off the light, he’ll be radioactive green in 30seconds. This was great fun for Annabeth to discover, and even better blackmail for Leo who accidentally found out about it.

Siren Percy! It always say he can’t sing, but what if it’s a front? Percy’s a very morally straight character, he wouldn’t want to be exercising a charm speak level of control over people. This secret’s kept under even tighter lock and key than his glowiness, known only to his mother and father. Percy is low-key terrified of others finding out about it, not only because it’s a dangerous power but even some Gods are desperate to hear a siren song without immediate danger and Percy’s not looking for that kind of attention.

Absolutely incomprehensible sir Leon is playing the new Lord Featherington in Bridgerton

It took SO long for my brain to connect why I recognised him and then he tilted his head a certain way and my brain went SIR LEON???????????

You cannot tell me this is the same man.

This post aged badly…

Geralt you’re great but your horse is better
