- A reversal of Nico and Percy's roles where Percy is withdrawing from camp and Nico tries to coax him back into his community.

- All sorts of fun potential for Curse of Achilles stuff.

- Athena blaming him because obviously he doesn't have enough on his plate. Doubly juicy if we go with Percy's Sword of Hades characterization where he doesn't hold himself responsible for the deaths of people close to him because that would be devaluing their choices. Maybe she makes him do the Parthenos quest as recompense.

- All sorts of amnesia angst, especially if he remembers Annabeth but not that she's dead. At some point some deity would totally offer to take his memories of her away to numb the pain, and obviously he'd decline, but he would understand the appeal.

- Pereyna angst where Reyna’s attracted to him but recognizes he's not in the headspace for a relationship and Percy is attracted to Reyna but feels like he's betraying Annabeth's memory.

- Percy isn't sure if he's just imagining it, having genuine auditory hallucinations, or if Hades is actually letting her talk to him, but he swears he hears her voice sometimes.

- Percy going genuinely insane on his own in Tartarus.

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

Grandkids: grandpa sit down you don't need to show us a post

uhhh the som quest happens as it should while hoo!percy gets up to silly shenanigans at camp. or something. idk. mr d makes his job sooooo hard because dionysus brought up tantalus to derive enjoyment from the man’s suffering and pathetic attempts of trying to eat, but now that’s gone so he finds enjoyment in torturing hoo!percy instead. but like percy figuring out the scheduling and corralling all these kids who feel safe ragebaiting him unlike tantalus.

percy training some kids and they come up behind him and dump a cooler of water on him. they all get together and make busts of him for arts and crafts but they purposefully and drastically fuck up one of his features and he has his flynn rider moment, “they just can’t get my nose right!” dionysus instigating a food fight in the pavilion. percy has to oversee archery lessons and they purposefully play dumb to get him to shoot an arrow. he ends up shooting himself in the shoulder.
