This Idea Came To Me In The Shower - Tumblr Posts

okay so i know pjo is kids' series, so it's a lot more censored but but but.

demigods aren't human right? not fully. they're half greek god. and we know what they're like in the stories. skewed morals, inhumanly beautiful, outrageously powerful... so. get this

aphrodite kids that make anyone attracted to them just by walking past (this goes for all demigods, but aphrodite kids more than most). aphrodite kids who can make people temporarily fall in love with someone/something. demeter kids who can cause all vegetation and plant life around or near them simply die when they're angry (the persephone story). hades kids that are more shadow than flesh. zeus kids that have electricity and lightning coursing under their skin all the time. poseidon kids with shark teeth and occasional mermaid features like scales. apollo kids that can glow so brightly that they can literally burn people (sometimes to death). dionysus kids that can and will make monsters and other people just... go mad. hephaestus kids that are a little fire immune, almost always strong as fuck (scrawny or not). athena and hephaestus kids that can plan and build things within a few hours. and so on.

and and and, every demigod's eyes are a little weird. like obviously, they often get a lot of features from the godly parents, but one constant is the eyes. you look into their eyes and it's like: nope. does not seem human. sometimes, when they're very angry or they're using a lot of their power, they just... go pupilless. for ares kids, for example, their eyes turn fully red and almost kind of look like they're about to leak blood. for apollo kids, they turn fully gold. for dionysus kids, it's purple, and so on.

and even their morals are occasionally weird. like obviously they know they have to operate on human standards but they don't get why. at camp or in terms of monsters, they don't follow human principles at all. like. why should they. one aphrodite kid makes someone fall in love with their hairbrush for four days because of a passing comment and chiron is just "*sigh* here we go again" and "no we do not do that emily". another dionysus kid just makes a couple monsters go so mad they start eating themselves/each other and doesn't even lose a lot of sleep over it and their dad is all "well done kiddo". yk. all that.

let my demigod babies be eldritch babies. please.

kind of a silly post but small headcanon that lost temple demons (specifically ones who were assigned that faction when spawned) have a second pair of eyelids (akin to a camel I think) that are translucent (since lost temple is a desert think of it sort of like an evolutionary thing)

a funny example I could think of for this is medkit comes home one night to see sword asleep on the couch with his eyes seemingly open which scares medkit a fair amount... he wakes sword up just to find out that his eyes were closed the whole time and now medkit is just creeped out lmao
