Okay, so I feel like there could be a situation where Percy’s mortal friends (come on, he has at least one or two) end up getting dragged into godly matters by mistake and so they learn Percy is a demigod. Naturally, this is very shocking for them. Well. One of them. The other is pretty chill about it.
At any rate, I'm just picturing them somehow on Olympus and then you get an interaction like:
Friend 1: wait so you're part GOD?!
Percy: uhhh, well-
Friend 2: that explains the weird cursing. Who says ‘Holy Hera’?
Friend 1: Like a GOD?
Percy: *awkward smile*
Friend 2: which god?
Friend 1: A GOD?! Is it a super powerful god?
Percy: oh. uh-
Friend 1: Well?!?!
Percy, looking at Poseidon but also trying to be humble af: um. He’s alright...
Poseidon:
Percy: I mean, he is- like, powerful. Obviously. Being a god and all.
Friend 2: is he more powerful than the average god?
Percy: ummmmm what even is the average god?
Friend 1: omg that makes him sound powerful. Are you a powerful god’s kid?
Percy: no! I mean- sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean that! I meant- he’s, like, uh- well. Okay. Look. He...he is a sea god. So. There's that.
Friend 1: HE IS THE SEA GOD?!?!
Percy: there are actually lots of sea gods!
Friend 2: but is he the one everyone talks about?
Percy: Triton from the little mermaid?
Friend 2: dude
Percy: I'm really trying here. Uh, a little help?
Poseidon: no
Percy:.....that’s fair.
Friend 2: just tell us if your dad is mega powerful
Percy: Fine. Yes. He is. Happy?
Friend 1: AH! Amazing! Are you powerful then?! Have you ever fought a god?
Percy: look, technically-
Friend 2: did you win?
Percy, looking at Ares: Stop. Asking. Questions.
Friend 1: omfg you kicked a god’s ass didn't you?? Who was it?
Percy: …..pls.
Annabeth: it was Ares
Friend 1:
Friend 2:
Friend 1: THE GOD OF WAR?!
the similarities are astounding everyone.
The Starks are obviously the Cullens. Bran is Alice. Jon is Edward on account of being a brooding emotional fuck. Sansa is Rosalie cause gotta slay those rapists like the queen she is. Ned is Carlisle: noble af, old & tired. Robb is Jasper, a military genius. Arya is Emmett cause both are peak jock™. Catlyn is Esme (sorry Cat…we know Esme is kinda bland, but she’s the only one that works).
Rickon is Bella. Very little personality, dies at a very inconvenient time.
Dany is Renesmee. The Chosen One™.
Jaime is Jacob. Hot and dumb, but will go to bat for you. Also when faced with “should I own up to my own secret” just starts getting naked.
Cersei is Victoria. Gotta be on top and will literally slaughter you if you look at her wrong. Or kill her family. Either one.
Which makes Joffrey…James. Heckling people for no reason and not in a nice way.
So Robert B. is Laurent. Not the ultimate worst dude, but doesn’t do great things. Mainly because he won’t stop his horrible family members from doing horrible things *cough cough* Victoria/Cersei & James/Jeoffrey.
Lancel (pre-high sparrow) is Riley. Does anything for some dick and easily manipulated to do wrong.
Ramsay is Jane bc that bitch can really torture you.
Myranda is Alec bc his powers aren’t as cool, but he’s gotta tag team in on that torture too.
Tyrion is Aro. Very calculated and will cut you to get his way.
Littlefinger is Caius. Hides behind Aro like a facade but is really a lil bitch.
The entire Citadel is Marcus. Old white men. Irrelevant branch of power. The most unhelpful in basically all situations.
The Hound is Demetri. Just following orders, but really loves to catch people and watch them die.
The Mountain is Felix. Truly suicidal to challenge.
Melisandre is Heidi. Uses her body to get her and her allies what they want.
Stannis is Sam. A true Alpha: strong leader, does what he believes is right even if it makes him unpopular.
Shireen is Emily. Sweet summer child, but literally scarred for life.
Euron is Paul. Always mad and ready for a fight to the death in the mud.
Brienne is Leah. Deserves everyone, gets no one due to the cruel world around her, but can beat anyones ass…especially the men that wronged her.
Poddy P is Seth bc baby cinnamon roll obviously.
Theon is Alistair. Runs away at the first sign of trouble on account of being severely traumatized and all.
Yara/Asha is Kate Denali. Electricity running through her veins like a bamf.
The Sand Snakes are the Amazonian Vampires. Hot & cool af.
Sam is Charlie. Learns The Truth™ (wights & white walkers & R+L). Becomes Actual Dad to everyone and Real Dad to little Sam. Always like “what in the god damn heck are we doing this is not normal”.
No one in Twilight is good enough to be Margaery or Oberyn.
Please add more as you see fit friends.
the moon will sing a song for me i loved you like the sun!
You can’t fix a broken heart, her grandmother told when Marinette was young and had ask why the older woman why she never remarried.
“You can forgive here,” Gina Dupain had pointed to her head. “And you can tell yourself every day that you forgive him, that all is well. And maybe you do. Maybe not right away, like you tell people but eventually… you do. You move on. You find some kind of peace. But that doesn’t mean your heart’s forgotten. Especially during the worst of it, when it’ll remind you every day just how much you’re still hurting.”
The silver haired woman had look so dejected, so cynical compared to her usual chipper, charming self that it left the little girl stunned.
“Until one day, it doesn’t,” Gina continued. “And yet, your heart’s not the same. You’re not the same. No matter what you tell yourself. Sometimes, you’d swear it’s just a giant scar on your heart. Because at least that means it’s healed; beaten up, bruised, and permanently disfigured but healed. Other days when you think too hard about it, and you are walking through memory lane; you can just barely admit the truth. That you can still feel every jagged edge, sharp angle still there from a shattered heart. And once on a very blue moon, you admit to yourself the truth; you can’t fix a broken heart. It’ll always be broken. Love has consequences.”
She looked Marinette deep in the eyes, “The trick is learning to live with it. Learning that a broken heart doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.”
“Broken… but still good,” Marinette quoted Lilo and Stitch.

Sometimes I'll just forget people are like, actually allo.
Like I'm ace so ofc I'll make sex jokes. But like sometimes I'll genuinely forget people are unironically allosexual or alloromantic and like that they're like unironically attracted to people or actively pursuing relationships.
Adult Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the most surreal power couple in the mortal world.
Annabeth Chase, world renowned architect who was entrusted with repairs and renovation on the Empire State Building…
…and her husband, this guy who was wanted by the FBI for blowing up the St Louis Arch seventeen years ago
AU where Gus’s parents do send him to Meitner and Shawn is so distraught and unhappy only being able to see Gus on weekends that he decides it's worth Becoming A Major Nerd and works his ass off to get into Meitner too. The hard part is just focusing enough and getting over his own issues with Oh God I'm Embracing The Genius DAD STOP SAYING YOU'RE PROUD I'M APPLYING MYSELF IT MAKES ME WANT TO STOP, not the actual Being Smart Enough part.
Gus is flabbergasted when Shawn shows up in class. Shawn made sure he got put in the same exact classes as Gus. They become a bit of a nightmare to the staff because they're both Incredibly Intelligent but also Incredibly Chaotic so the teachers KNOW these two are pulling mischief but they CAN'T PROVE IT
The rest of the stuff still happens as in the show with the Shawn running away after graduation and Gus becoming a pharmaceutical rep (alas, college didn't pan out like he'd hoped) and Psych and such- but now when Shawn and Gus investigate the case at Meitner they get invited as lectures because they're former students, and Jules and Lassie are confronted with "They went to the child prgenius prodigy school??? Both of them??? And excelled???? So they're like this on purpose?????"
imagine s3 geralt getting his ass kicked then he gets knocked out and he wakes up to the people who just kicked his ass fighting someone else (there are at least six of them)
and theyre at a distance and his vision is still blurred so he cant see much, he just sees blood flying and hears grunts and cries of pain and cant exactly tell whos winning
then he sits up right when its down to two people and he can finally see when one of those people stabs the other in the neck with a dagger and
its jaskier.
jaskier.
and jaskier rushes over to him and the man barely has blood on him, as if he'd ever let his expensive clothes get permanently stained, and starts untying geralt and asking if hes okay and geralts looking all bewildered and jaskier notices and hes like
"what? did you think i wouldn't benefit from all those training sessions you forced me through?" jaskier asks, completely nonchalant, barely out of breath like he didn't just take down half a dozen men. "thank you for that by the way, really came in handy"
and geralt realizes in that moment
his best friend is insane
it is so easy to fuck with geralt now that yennefer is friends with jaskier
she'll just roll her shoulders and kinda grimace and jaskier will be like "what's wrong?" and she's like "nothing, really, just kind of sore..." and he'll go to her side and offer a massage just like that and she'll sigh, thank him, then look at geralt with the smugest look on her face
geralt will just break whatever he's holding and be so confused why he's upset
and yennefer has never had more fun in her life
