LITYERSES HEADCANONS!!!!!!!
I saw some other headcanon posts for him, so I felt inspired to throw my own ideas out there! I think some of my headcanons are pretty different from the ones a lot of people have of him, but I always like reading other peopleās ideas so hopefully people will like this too!
(also theres a lot, this is long *cough* my bad)
- After the incident in The Lost Hero, after Midas dies, Lityerses is homeless. His fatherās mansion is destroyed and itās not like he has anyone to turn to.
- They mention in The Lost Hero that the Hunters of Artemis came across Midas and Lityerses earlier. When they did, Lityerses heard in passing about Camp Half-Blood. Itās the only place meant for demigods that he has even the slightest knowledge on, so he sets his sights on making it there.
- It takes eight grim months to reach New York. Itās half a miracle, slowly taking busses, hitchhiking, and sometimes just walking to the next city. Monsters attack him the entire way and he adds plenty of new scars to his collection.
- Thereās no reliable way for him to get money. He gets much, much better at using his powers as a son of Demeter. He uses it to grow fruits, vegetables, and any sort of edible plant so he can at least have food of some kind.
- He goes to New York City because he doesnāt know what else to do. He doesnāt even know if the Hunters were talking about the city or the state but he figures he has to start somewhere. Unfortunately, the Triumvirate notices his presence before anyone from Camp Half-Blood does.
- He follows some demigods to Nero, who sent them to collect him. He offers a position working for the Triumvirate in exchange for food, lodging, and other basic support. Lityerses is tired and he wants to sleep in a bed and have proper meals he doesnāt have to worry about acquiring.
- He accepts, not caring if what the Triumvirate is doing is shitty or not. Nero sends him to Indianapolis to work for Commodus.
- Apolloās decision to give him another chance was very affecting. Especially coming from ancient times when the stories of the gods on earth were far more real and immediate, he knows very well how the gods could treat mortals as simply disposable.
- He had never questioned his belief that any mortal who got wrapped up in business with a god suffered a horrible fate because of it, whether the god intended it or not.
- But then Apollo saved his life and defended him at the Waystation and told him he trusted him and Lityersesās mind keeps drifting back to him over and over and over.
- His mind wants to reconcile what Apollo did for him with what he knows about the gods. He canāt, and that makes him feel a great many things that he canāt pin down. Apollo decided to care about him when he had no reason to, and he doesnāt know what that means for him.
- He feels a twinge of gratitude whenever he steps into the sunlight and pulse of anxiety whenever he wonders if heās okay on his quest.
- He thinks about Meg, his little sister, and hopes theyāre keeping each other safe.
- Lityerses can occasionally seem really dull, indifferent, or unresponsive because he gives super minimal reactions to things sometimes, but thatās really not the case.
- Being in the modern world for him is sort of like a slight, but near constant sensory overload. Sometimes, his brain is too busy processing other stuff to fully load up an emotional response. Heāll react to something in his mind but he wonāt express it outwardly at all.
- Leo, running up: Wanna help me strap a firework to a crossbow bolt and try to shoot it into the office building across the street to see if itāll blow up in there?!!!!! Ā Ā Lityerses, with a completely flat voice and blank expression: I think thatās a very bad idea.
- Itās definitely not all the time, but it does happen.
- (Me? Projecting sensory issues onto every character I like? Itās more likely than you think.)
- He has a very āgo with the flowā attitude, to the point of being a character flaw sometimes. It can make him easy to manipulate.
- (Commodus: hey lityerses go put this barbed wire and war helmets and metal teeth on these ostriches Ā Ā Liyerses, in his head: uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh yeah cool got it i hope i still have some fingers left tomorrow)
- Heās working on it though. Heās working on it.
- One side effect of this is that whenever Leo makes some pop culture or meme reference, Lityerses will just nod and agree. It takes Leo forever to realise that he was just lying going along with it.
- *mid conversation*Ā Lityerses: Iād go get some food, but I donāt have any money Ā Ā Leo: dude, youāre literally just the 69 cents vine, not enough for chicken nuggets Ā Ā Lityerses: oh, for sure Ā Ā Calypso, overhearing: wait, you understood that?? Ā Ā Lityerses: no, Iāve never understood a single word thatās left leoās mouth Ā Ā Ā Leo: what?!!!! but you said you understood my reference to that dril tweet the other day, right?!Ā Ā Ā Lityerses: yeah, of courseĀ Ā Ā Calypso: whatās a dril tweet??Ā Ā Ā Lityerses: I donāt know. Ā Ā Ā Leo: YOU TRAITOR
- Another side effect: heās a complete pushover for Georgie.
- At one point, when some of the Waystation crew are walking out in the city, she complains that sheās tired and wants to be carried. When her moms gently refuse, she immediately goes over to Lityerses and holds her arms out and says that sheās tired. He doesnāt even stop walking, he just swoops her up and puts her on his shoulder right away.
- Hemithia and Jo glare at him but he just avoids eye contact. āSheās already up there, too much effort to put her down now.ā
- He was in the Fields of Punishment in the Underworld and wow was it incredibly traumatizing.
- His memories of death are sickeningly agonizing, but they also usually feel distant and unreal. Sometimes, though, theyāll worm their way into his dreams with horrific clarity. Heāll wake up in a cold sweat, hyperventilating, with full body tremors he canāt control.
- One morning after waking up like that, while sitting on the floor regaining his composure, Hemithea comes in to see why he wasnāt up yet. He pulls himself together in due time. He doesnāt answer any of her questions.
- He never talks about it, but heās truly terrified of dying. He never was before, but now that he knows whatās waiting for himā¦
- It doesnāt help that he knows that, no matter how careful he is or how well he defends himself, he could die at any moment if Thanatos decides to bring him back to the Underworld.
- It weighs on the back of his mind that, at least on a technical level, he has no right to be alive. Sometimes he canāt help but think that the things he does now donāt matter in the end, because thereās no reason he would get a second judgement when he does eventually return to the Underworld.
- He does his best to shut that down and remind himself that trying to do the right thing helps the people around him, no matter what happens after his death, but the thought exists and it is painful.
- He really never voices these fears because he feels like all he can really do is try not to think about it, and when he does, he tries to forget as soon as he can. Itās a burden he shoulders as quietly as he can.
- He isnāt used to owning a lot of material possessions, both from how he lived in ancient times and then from being homeless for a while. Heās only ever described wearing that Cornhuskers shirt because itās the only one he owned for a while.
- Not long after joining the Waystation, the first time he was going out somewhere them, Jo snapped that it just made him look stupid, trying to look tough by going without a coat when it was so cold outside. Earnestly confused and defensive, he tells her that he just doesnāt own one.
- After that, she insists on filling his wardrobe until he has enough clothes.
- (Speaking of the Cornhuskers shirt, he just picked it out on a whim, sort of thinking of Demeter (They grow corn here like we used to grow wheat, right?) and sort of just thinking it looked cool. Olujime once tried to talk to him about how some college teams were doing and Lityerses just goes āWhatās football?ā)
- He doesnāt really get modern fashion trends. Leo offers to catch him up, but he declines very quickly.
- In ancient times, dyes and patterns available for clothes were much more limited and much more expensive. Heās fascinated by all the colors and prints people can wear just all the time now. Lityerses wears a lot of bright colors because he thinks theyāre cool and fun. He likes red, blue, and purple the most but heāll wear a lot of stuff.
- Along with not really following any trends, he also hasnāt picked up on a lot of unspoken gender connotations that come with modern clothing.
- When the Waystation are first trying to get him some clothes, he picks out a pink jacket and Leo snorts at him like āYouāre going for pink?ā Lityerses just stares at him like āYeah. Itās just pink.ā Leo sort of realizes and goes, āOh, itās just, you knowā¦ā to Calypso. But Calypso is also just staring blankly and says, āNo I donāt. I donāt get it. Is there something about pink?ā And Leo notices Hemithea glaring daggers at him and he laughs nervously and goes, āNevermind, it was a stupid joke anyway.ā
- Hemithia: Leave the ancient demigod and ex-titan blissfully unaware of our complex, modern gender stereotypes.Ā Ā Leo, sweating: gotcha.
- He pretty much just wears what he finds comfortable. Generally itās just t-shirts with jeans or basketball shorts.
- Lityerses is a super clingy sleeper and will reflexively grab on to anything within arms reach while heās asleep. (Heās a big spoon by nature.)
- Leo discovers this and now, whenever Lityerses falls asleep on one of the couches, heāll entertain himself by slowly pushing a pillow up to him until he inevitably grabs it and pulls it against his chest.
- No one gets those pillows back until Lityerses wakes up.
- Heās very buff. His muscles arenāt super defined, nothing at all like a bodybuilder, no six pack abs or anything. But heās built. Thick arms.
- Heās very limber and flexible too. He has great balance, which lets him move as fast as he does in combat. Heās quite physically fit in general.
- Heāll never admit it, but he ended up getting attached to the highlights in his hair he got when Apollo revealed his godly form. He thought they were fun and different and he sort of missed it when his hair grew out.


You guys are in the middle of a live performance, in case you forgot.
In case of investigation by any entity federal or similar-
I'm gonna start mugging anti lgbtqia+ conservitaves and putting rainbow duct tape on their hands and tie them down to a gay chair and ask "Is gay okay?" When they say no, I will sprinkle rainbow glitter in their eyes, and punch them with a pride flag. When they finally say gay is okay, I will proceed to do the same with aromantic and asexual,
ask them "No romo yes homo?"If they say no, I will slap them with a slice of pizza, and throw a toy dragon at them. Repeat the process, and then move on to asexual. If they deny asexuality, I will SHOVE garlic bread in their mouth. Yall with me?
