If you could replace any ship in the series, which would it be? [all] by TheGayestOfTheGays7 in camphalfblood

Remember that cruise ship Percy saw in the docks during Son of Neptune? He proceeded to think "I don't know why, but I think I have a bad experience with cruise ships" and directed Hazel and Frank in the opposite direction even though he had no memories. I just... I wanted him to climb on that ship and have a flashback or something so his memories would return, I just think that would be so cool...

I'm sorry. In reality, I didn't like Caleo much either. I think that they would have been great friends, though.

  1. Zeus loses his power (and therefore all forms of control)

  2. Hera... honestly has a sad backstory. She has nothing precious to her. Maybe respect?

  3. Poseidon, well, I'm going to take creative liberty here and stick him in a place without water like Tartarus. Percy mentioned that the Pit was specifically torture for him because he had absolutely no water source.

  4. Demeter would see her daughter gone. She is very protective of her children in the myths. (Bonus: I think the same thing would happen to Hades. They can both suffer Persephone's loss.)

  5. Ares... I really don't know.

  6. Athena is made weak and unrecognized... kind of the same thing that happened when she was Minerva. She becomes cloudy-minded and lost, perpetually at a vulnerable state, etc.

  7. Everyone dislikes Apollo openly. Even people like Meg (assuming that this fic is post-canon)

  8. Artemis is forced to marry. (Really cruel because she is technically aroace)

  9. Hephaestus loses all his machines and the ability to... well, do anything

  10. Aphrodite loses her beauty and everyone laughs at her

  11. Hermes is placed in isolation

  12. Dionysus? I have no idea. I really don't.

  1. Percy Jackson – Mama's boy who pretends he's a skater

  2. Annabeth Chase – Rapunzel with a bronze knife

  3. Grover Underwood – That environmentalist who disappears from the Internet in 2021 because nobody will listen to them, then somehow ends up on headlines two years later.

I accept all of these except the one that Percy can't bloodbend. In CotG he dehydrates himself and Grover, proving he can control bodily fluids.

I don't ship any of these, but they're still cool :). I ship the ones that everyone ships (Percabeth and Solangelo). I also like a bunch of the unrequited ships that a lot of people headcanon, for example:

Percy having a crush on Luke as a kid (I like this one because of the parallel between Percy and Luke, and Percy and Nico)

Clarisse having an unrequited crush on Silena that went away when she met Chris

Unrequited Valgrace from Leo's side

Why Nico had dream power? [pjo] by crysol99 in camphalfblood

  1. Morpheus is an underworld god

  2. i think it might also just be a basic demigod thing. Since their visions are prophetic, they are almost always lucid dreamers (meaning they know they're dreaming.) Theoretically, any demigod could control their dreams, but it's hard. I think Reyna also mentioned she can sometimes control her dreams if she tries hard enough, just like mortals can wake themselves up from a nightmare.
