Thinking about making a godswap and I’m think about what godly parent I should give these characters bcuz there’s so many options. So first we’re gonna start with Percy??
(I’d appreciate it if you gave your reason as to why in the comments to give me better insight lol. Keep in mind I sort of want to keep to core of his character and not change anything too drastically).
so fast I know lol, I was on a role yesterday and today
And I'm not the best at first scenes but I think I did pretty well. I decided I mainly wanted Jason to be a hand to hand fighter, mainly like a MMA fighter. He's like a wrestler, boxer, and possibly a whole lot of other fighting styles mixed into one. Like he's decent with a sword or spear and whatnot, but hand to hand is where he really excels.
Meanwhile, Percy isn't all that great with hand to hand. Like he can throw some punches but his hand to hand combat experience are street fights, Percy fights dirty, especially if he has to fight without his sword. But Percy's most skilled with the sword.
And I can't wait to write how this'll effect their different encounters with different enemies in HoO in my AU.
I was thinking and I was thinking of what time period I wanted my godswap AU to be in and I’ve been thinking about maybe the ancient or medieval times.
I was really inspired by epic the musical in a way so I want to take some things from that.
I’m leaning towards more of a medieval time period.
I just really want to do a historical AU and I don’t want to do them separately so… what do yall think?
Small post cuz I’m in class rn.
Posted another part to my series without a name. Out on AO3 now
My brain needs to STOP giving me ideas cuz bro.
I’ve been watching Arcane and I have a few more episodes left and tell me why all of a sudden I’m starting to write a fantasy esk AU help.
Anyways, the Spiderman AU is going to get a new chapter soon. I just have to get the energy to get on my computer to post it.
Unfortunately none of the AUs I write will be short because I don’t think I have that capability within me to do that so.. yeah.
Look forward to that maybe? But just keep in mind my next posts on ao3 will most definitely be straight Spider-Man AU chapters.
Inspired by this post by @ruegarding
The adults of New Rome are so lucky that Rick didn’t write Percy, Reyna, and Jason in Heroes of Olympus with the same care and effort he previously put into his PJO characterizations, because otherwise the combination of Reyna Avila-My-childhood-got-ruined-because-of-the-effects-war -PTSD-can-have-on-a-person- Ramirez-Arellano, Jason-I-have-been-part-of-the-military-since-my-early-childhood-Grace and Percy-pay-your-child-support- Jackson, would have immediately caused a revolution and shamed every grown ass adult, who hides behind a child army to death.
I was thinking and I really wanted Luke to be the son of a minor god and so I decided to make him the son of Aristaeus. Luke actually has quite a few powers along with his swordsmanship. He can talk to sheeps, grow plants naturally but is more proficient in medical plants, and he can control wind (stronger in the summer) but not as Zeus or wind spirit kids can but still pretty good at it.
I think I wanted to make him the child of a minor god to further push the point of minor god kids being neglected, especially in this setting where a lot of poor people were different types of slaves. He was a commoner until he was taken to camp half blood where then he was taken on quests. On one dangerous quest he was the only one who came back alive (and where he gained his scar). He ended up being ridiculed and pitied by some of the other older campers and they began saying how they shouldn’t have chosen “lower minor god scum” to lead a mission.
So yeah children of minor gods weren’t all that respected in CHB (if you by any chance get claimed that is) and unclaimed campers were pretty much in the same boat.
After his failed quest, he began hearing Kronos talking to him and eventually fell in his clutches.
(Just thought of this but he still has his history with Thalia and Annabeth, his history with Percy is going to be more extensive though and I do want to explore that.)
After Percy follows the prophecy, gets attacked, and taken to CHB he meets Luke and they grow attached to each other until Percy finally goes on his quest. Sometime after Percy’s quest succeeds he puts his action into place and try’s to recruit (and then kill) Percy.
Luke I feel like is actually going to be the most similar but different character at the same time besides Percy in terms of his character and how I want it to progress so I’m really excited for when I start writing it.

me age 7: this pokemon is named cupcake becos its random and cute
me age 12: this pokemon is named Petri, named after petrichor, the name for the scent of rain. a close second was Nimbus, named after nimbostratus clouds in which rain forms. i was very tempted to go with Proteus, a greek shapeshifter who ruled the sea, but i realized that would be more fitting for a pokemon with a stronger attack stat. i researched these names endlessly and they took 2 hours to come up with.
me age 15: this pokemon is named sleepy becos he looks sleepy
Getting into the marvel a lot recently and tempted to write a marvel sort of role swap if that makes sense?
Like basically replacing the marvel characters with Percy Jackson characters I guess.
The storyline would prob be a mix of Mcu and Comics and the storylines would be changed a bit to more fit some of the canon pjo stuff but yeah.
I can only think of a few ideas at the moment, but I definitely want Percy to be Ironman. Some people may argue with me tbh and idc lol. I don’t know why I can see it, maybe it’s because of this fic I read by unsureavenger, but I can’t unsee. I mean they both were abused by an alcoholic and have frighteningly low self esteem (atleast Tony does in the movies) and I would probably change his backstory a bit but I can see Percy as Tony Stark (maybe the mcu just altered my brain and Percy has to be the mc in everything I write. Probably.)
I do want to include Luke, but I always try to include Luke in not only Annabeth’s story, but Percy’s too because they’re so important to both of their stories.
I’m trying to think of a way where Luke ends up as Percy’s mentor, and I actually think I can use a concept from the Ironman animated show and a character known as Genie Khan to do this although it wouldn’t take place in the main fic.
I think I could make Annabeth maybe Black Widow (or Captain America?? I dunno. Maybe even the wasp)
Ideas would be well appreciated. This wouldn’t be a main fic of course because I’m still working on my main kinda sorta demigod super hero AU but it would be a side thing of sorts I guess.
