So y’know how 2 of the curses Percy got in HoH were a stabbing in the gut and an uncontrollable tic in his right eye.

Ethan Nakamura a boy who only had his right eye remaining got killed by being stabbed in the stomach and then he fell from Olympus.

Now here’s where I put my theorist hat on because I do not believe Ethan would curse Percy especially not with pain in his eye. But there is a character who would curse Percy, who has quite a hatred for him, who would have known Ethan as a fellow member of the Titan Army and who would’ve been there at the battle of Manhattan to find Ethan’s body.

Alabaster Torrington

Alabaster would have wanted to curse Percy especially after the tragedy that happened to his siblings finding Ethan’s body would’ve been the last straw and I can imagine him thinking “I wish it had been you, Jackson. I wish you got stabbed. I wish you had your eye taken. I wish you would feel the pain he felt.”

I also have to add that another curse he got was feeling like his body had been blown up by a blowtorch and I fully believe that was a curse from the Andromeda explosion

What’s the Gaea/Final fight au? 👀

ehe sOOO

Its an AU where Ethan survives the war, he and Al had gotten into an argument prior to the Andromeda that was put on hold because of it and then following the war/massacre they start arguing again.

Ethan is angry that Alabaster didn't back down even after Kronos was defeated, and caused more bloodshed. Alabaster accuses him of treason, etc, etc. It goes on for quite a while with them very much insulting each other, Ethan brings up Al's fatal flaw, Al brings up Nemesis' mistreatment, etc, etc. It goes on and on until Ethan pulls his sword out which leads to a whole ass sword fight.

Of course, the other army members are watching all of this, and hadn't seen fit to step in before the swords were drawn, as arguments were quite frequent and got more and more frequent as the war went on, but they were never physical.

As they tried to intervene, one of them managed to get Als sword out of his hand and incapacitate him from fighting back, not that Ethan processed that before he attacked again. He ended up slicing Al's jugular which caused him to bleed out. Seeing all of that sort of flipped a switch in Ethans mind, and he began panicking, trying to save Al despite his already being dead. In the end, the other army members ended up dragging him off Als body, but not before Ethan could snag one of his rings.

Thats where the Final Fight name is from, buttt

fun fact before we continue; Alabaster was sent to punishment in the Underworld, and his punishment was an endless scenario in which his siblings/loved ones are hunting him on the Princess Andromeda.

Ethan winds up at Camp Jupiter with the help of Hecate after sacrificing an eyepatch of his that Alabaster stitched protection runes into. Originally when she demanded a sacrifice he thought she wanted his other eye 💀 He's also constantly plagued by nightmares, where no matter what happens he ends up killing Alabaster, and as time goes on hes forgetting details and such about Alabaster.

When Percy/The Argo crew shows up, he gets yoinked because he'd previously promised Percy he'd return to Camp Half-Blood. He did end up telling Annabeth about what happened with Alabaster, she was not happy 🤗 She was angry, being passive aggressive with Ethan which confused the fuck out of Percy and the others who didn't know what happened or who Alabaster even is.

Now, of course Gaea would have to come into play somehow, or else why would we call it the Gaea au. Right? Right! She revives Alabaster 🤗

Of course, Ethan doesn't know this, how would he? He is blissfully unaware that Alabaster isn't in the Underworld until he goes along with Hazel and Leo to get the sheet of bronze from Narcissus, only to find Gaea has deployed her dear little son of Hecate to act as a guard.

When they arrive to the pond, they're knocked to the ground by an unknown force, and thenn 🤭

Alabaster technically ends up winning, disarming Ethan and putting him on the ground. But he doesn't kill him.

Alabaster also appears with Otis and Ephialtes, posing as a guard for Nicos jar, hes not very good at that job though. When Nico is released, Alabaster puts a protection rune on his back and gets him out of the way before almost immediately attacking Ethan 💀

They run into him again in the House of Hades while fighting Clytius and Pasiphaë, alongside Lamia. Alabaster winds up stabbing Jason after he got in the way of his and Ethans fight. Although Alabaster has had countless opportunities and openings to kill Ethan, he chooses not to. An action that's not gone unnoticed by Lamia, and eventually leads her to trying to kill him as she views it as treason 🤗

With Alabaster injured and incapacitated, Ethan decides to drag his ass onto the Argo so hes just kinda there now. Lotta drama nobody aside from Annabeth trusts him as he's tried to kill Ethan countless times 💀 🙏 Alabaster is flighty and unpredictable, Ethan and Annabeth are the only ones who try to talk to him, Annabeth is the only one he allows near him as he lashes out whenever Ethan comes into the sickbay which is where hes been stuck. He's impatiently waiting for the crew to kill him because why else would he be here 💀

ALSOOO, as many of these aus are this is v much snatched and curated w @everythingwasalreadypicked bc what else is new LDFMKN
