This blog is mostly about pjo (luke castellan appears a lot here), but other fandoms may appear (asoiaf, naruto, svsss, or whatever strikes my fancy).

I’m part of the Roman gods ≠ Greek gods club.

I don’t believe in dni. I block freely to maintain my peace. If my blog/work is not for you, I trust you have the maturity to walk away.

Block the nsfw and gilded yoke tags if you’re a kid and/or disturbing themes aren’t for you 👍

Please avoid asking me for updates. I won’t be answering those kinds of asks/dms, but I promise it’s being worked on!

Snippet:

"Boy," a woman said. Her voice carried no real inflection, flat and hollow. A hand settled on Luke's shoulder, unnaturally cool through the fabric of his shirt. "Where are you going to?"

Luke went dead still.

Up close, the woman was wrong. Her suit was pressed and ordinary, the exact shade of gray a hundred commuters wore every single day. But her eyes didn't blink with the rhythm of a normal person's. When she tilted her head to study him, the motion went a fraction too far, like a doll with a spring fitted into its neck.

“Florida," Luke said, his mouth moving before his brain could give the order.

“Mm." The woman's head tilted the other way, slow and considering. Her nose dipped toward Luke's collar, drawing a long, unhurried breath the way a wine taster might, if they had teeth like that hiding behind their smile. "That's not what I asked."

I’d wager they’re actually pretty decent parents, to be completely honest. But since this is the BP universe (and I’m considering actually writing this at some point), there definitely need to be some horror, too.

So, Aphrodite is loving and devoted and offers genuine emotional support in her own alien way, but she’s also a goddess who wouldn’t hesitate to use charmspeak to overwrite her kid's free will just to make them want to stay with her. Meanwhile, Ares is fiercely protective—ready to slaughter anyone who touches his kids—but he can also be harsh and demanding. He treats warfare as a bonding experience, throwing his kids into battle, celebrating their kills, and urging them to soak in the bloodshed right alongside him. (I might think of an even better flavor of horror to add at some point, but you get the idea...)

Anyway. I think their core traits would remain virtually the same, just… more. Ares and Aphrodite are a team, and Athena is the intruder here. So they'd be even more possessive, even more smothering, even more everything. Aphrodite would probably cheat and use charmspeak during the Athena days, while Ares would absolutely insert himself whenever Athena is trying to teach Annabeth her version of war, for example.

❤️ What is your favorite line that you’ve written in a fic?

Man, this is a pretty hard one. I get weirdly philosophical sometimes so I have a few:

For Delusion of Fate, this one for sure:

"You love me in a way I don’t understand, father."

And for wind in her marrow:

She was born with the entrails of who she had been stuck between her teeth.

There’s also a pretty visceral gory description in A Threnody that I’m quite proud of. Plus a thousand other lines that I can’t remember right now, lol.

📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?

I’m pretty neutral about that, tbh. When I was younger, I used to want to write an original story, but nowadays I’m totally content just writing fic. Listening to Anitta’s new album got me thinking about that old idea again, though—because, as you can probably tell, I love my culture, and the concept drinks deep from the well of Brazilianism. Since I can’t stop talking about this album, here’s one of the tracks:

📚 Is there a fanfic or a fanfic writer you recommend?

Not pjo, but:

Hero Class Civil Warfare -> gen, My Hero Academia. Genuinely one of the best fics I’ve ever read

By the Stroke of a Brush -> Shen Jiu/Tianlang-Jun, SVSS. And while we’re at it, same ship: Spread Your Wings. Both are beautiful—genuinely.

A Butterfly Dreaming -> Liu Qingge/Shen Jiu; Luo Binghe/Shen Jiu. I’m obsessed with this one.

duty, given chance -> Jon Snow/Tormund. The worldbulding is insane, Free Folk culture and customs in this are just chef’s kiss. For Avatar, but still related to worldbuilding: While Mighty Oaks Do Fall. And for Naruto (sioc): Compass of thy Soul. Another sioc, for asoiaf: The Winter of Widows

I’m a desert, you’re an ocean -> Asoiaf and Assassin’s Creed crossover; Jeyne Poole/Sansa Stark. I loved how Desmond carved a space for the non nobility in this

Anything by Dialux imo, I began trying my hand with bigger paragraphs and chapters bc of them

🎯 Do you have any writing milestones you’re working towards?
