Basically which dragon i think the pjo characters would have and why. Also, i'm assuming most people in the pjo fandom aren't that deep into the httyd fandom, i could be wrong, but either way, that's why i explain quite a bit in this.

⚡️Jason Grace - Skrill A skrill is basically the poster child of lightning dragons and also one of the coolest. It's a very fast dragon that can pick up on behavior and patterns pretty quickly too. There is pretty much no better dragon for Jason

🌊Percy Jackson - Sandwraith I'm not actually satisfied with the one i picked for Percy, because the sandwraith is kind of lacking in anything really noteworthy. I wanted a water dragon for him, for obvious reasons, but it also can't be one that's in the water all the time, for also, obvious reasons. So it's either a sandwraith or a fanmade water dragon or a Deadly Nadder, which also wouldn't be that bad for him tbh.

🌾Grover Underwood - Rumblehorn A Rumblehorn is a big ass dragon that can track anyone to anywhere. It's also a pretty smart dragon that's able to avoid traps set up by humans. All these traits make him a pretty good dragon for Grover, seeing how in canon Grover was tasked with finding lost demigods.

🐉Frank Zhang - Deathgripper Now hear me out on this one, there were quite a few options that would fit Frank, but in the end i just thought the deathgripper was the best/coolest choice for him. The other options for Frank were the Crimson Goregutter and the Rumblehorn. Both of which are pretty big dragons, the crimson goregutter being the biggest of the three. But i didn't just want to give him a big dragon. In canon Frank supposedly has a lot of animal knowledge (i saw supposedly because i haven't actually finished reading HOO), so i thought he'd be the best one to tame such a temperamental dragon and actually be able to treat it well.

🔥Leo Valdez - Singetail There are two reason i chose the singetail for Leo, one of them being the fact that this dragon can quite literally shoot fire out of every area. And i mean that literally. Mouth, duh, but also, chest area, armpits, butt (i think), just every area. That paired with its eyes that can see all around it means you are never sneaking up on this dragon. The second reason was the eyes, which are derpy ass hell.

🦉Annabeth Chase - Stormcutter It's basically the owl dragon. Like seriously, there was no better pick. It's smart, perceptive, looks dope ass hell. What other dragon would make this much sense for Annabeth.

💠Hazel Levesque - Haven't actually made a concrete choice for Hazel I'd love to give her a dragon that kinda matches her powers, but there's only one that kind of comes close and that's only because it's shiny and that's a Razorwhip. It's a fast dragon, very loyal, and really perceptive. They're also sharp as fuck. I'd love for Hazels dragon to be a boulder class, sharp or mystery, but idk. The other options for Hazel were: - Dramilion (pretty and smart, also very unique with different type of shots) - Sentinel (blind, rocky and gothic) - Catastrophic Quaken (Creepy, rocky and gothic) - Whispering/Screaming Death (poster child of creepy dragons)

🪶Piper McClain - Triple Stryke Unique dragon that doesn't border on the fem side since she has a hard time coming to terms with her femininity and what that truly means for her. It's also cool as hell.

🌩️Thalia Grace - Thunderdrum Hard headed, stubborn, and loyal. Am i talking about Thalia or the dragon? Both actually. That's why i think it suits her so well.

💨Luke Castellan - Haven't really made a decision. I think a monstrous nightmare would suit him best, but that's purely based on vibes and not much else, so i really don't know with him.

💀Nico di Angelo - Boneknapper Giant, creepy ass dragon that's covered in bones. It basically wrote itself tbh.

🐺Bianca di Angelo - Razorwhip This is because i wanted Bianca to be a wing maiden. Wing maidens are a tribe of women in the httyd lore that help raise baby razorwhips away from the fathers, because the fathers have a tendency to eat the baby's. Its a way to make sure the razorwhip species doesn't die out.

⚜️Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano - Crimson Goregutter I wanted a terryfing dragon for her, one that would help her command a room in a similar way to how her dogs in canon did that. And i also just wanted her to have a really big dragon cause i think its cool.

🎨Rachel Elizabeth Dare - Death Song She's a very creative girl, so i thought why not give her the dragon that literally sings to catch its prey. It was either this one or a really big kinda random one cause i feel like she be drawn to one of those too.

💨Luke Castellan - Dramilion Since Hermes is the jack of all trades and his kids kind of follow that route, why not give Luke the dragon with multiple shot types. It's also a pretty smart dragon, especially in groups so i feel like this one works the best for him.

i guess this is set in some au where she lives and they get to spend years together rather than like. a week. lmao

but i do love the thought of percy like. routinely hanging out with the hunters and being like their brother who they bully relentlessly but he gets to grow and get stronger so they use him like a jungle gym and the younger girls like to sit with him at the campfires and sit in his lap and listen to his stories and all that jazz anyway

you know the phenomenon of seeing your crush/partner with babies/kids and seeing the way they interact with them and how good they are with kids? yeah that as percy lets the girls swing from his biceps and drape themselves all over him like he's literally nothing more than a piece of furniture (affectionate)

that's actually just a general headcanon of percy and the hunt, not exactly perzoë but it's been living in my head for a while. you could honestly make that pertemis, perzoë, or perthalia and it'd work. or perianca? percy x bianca whatever they are LMAO

them dual wielding riptide......okay yes i gave that hc to percabeth too but like. zoë in the middle of some fight and her bow gets snatched or something and she just summons riptide to her hand. percy back at camp feeling his pocket get a little lighter just freezes like. fuck. is she okay? but then riptide settles back in his pocket with a little note. he opens it eagerly, relieved to know she's okay if she could send a message with it. he opens it up and its a crude drawing of him with boogers hanging out of his nose.

drawn in gold ink. he keeps asking zoë where she's getting gold ink from and she never tells him that he can keep riptide in pen form to use. she likes watching him struggle. mostly so she can make fun of him.

oml they're the judgemental duo in like such a devestating way. perzoë 🤝 resting bitch face. zoë looks at you like you're dog shit smeared on the bottom of her boot and percy looks at you like he wants to smear the dog shit covered boot all over your face

they have a similar/same slow burn as percabeth where they don't get together (in whatever sense of the word) until after the second titan war because the whole "perseus, you are not the hero" did it for her. cosmic confirmation that he isn't a hero like heracles? yeah. she ate that up 🙂‍↕️

"guess you aren't a hero" / "just like you said... guess you were right." *cue sloppy style make out*

she's tries to teach him to shoot once. she sees the way apollo keeps shooting his best shots (read: airballs) by inviting percy to go shooting with him and the way percy keeps telling him he can't shoot and zoë is just like. you can't be that bad.

he somehow manages to make the arrow ricochet off the trees instead of hitting them and it lands right between their feet, just barely missing them

BUT. on the bright side. she did get to do what apollo was hoping to do. she got to saddle up behind him and adjust his stance and whisper in his ear how to shoot. before she immediately stepped back and tried to pretend like her stomach wasn't fluttering

ouuuu wait. she pulls riptide out of his pocket and puts it in his hand and gives him deja vu. "make a weapon of it" just like she taught heracles how to make riptide. "make a bow of it" and since it's imbued with the essence of the ocean, he's finally able to land a shot and the arrow sinks into a tree. just. not the tree he was aiming for. LMAO

she's veryyyyyy independent and "i can do it myself" and very reluctant to let him help her with anything. and he respects that but still does the small things like covering the edge of the table when she leans down to avoid her hitting her head. the small, subtle things like that yknow?

i don't think hunters can get sick, but idk maybe its like his whole breaker of cycles things. when its cosmically confirmed that he's nothing like heracles (even tho zoë already knew that), artemis gives her this smile and is like. "i can release you from my hunt, if you'd like." and zoë sits on it for a while because this has been her whole life for millennia but eventually goes to her and is like "i respect and care for you too much to break this oath i made in your name, please release me." because she made that oath in the midst of her heartache and she found a second family/new family in the hunters but then percy heals that wound she'd been repressing for millennia and her leaving the hunt would be like her finally leaving that wound/heracles/her anger and rage behind as well

wait i got so off topic. anyway zoë gets sick somehow and maybe she's not a hunter anymore and her immune system is ancient and piss poor so she gets sick for the first time and it knocks her FLAT on her ass and she can't do a damn thing and is forced to rely on percy for everything

Rachel is made the Oracle and can never have romantic relationships with anyone. After TLO, the friendship that she and Percy developed over what he thought was his last year alive was thrown out the window.

Calypso is trapped on Ogygia, but Percy ensures her release. Until that’s retconned in HOO, anyway, in a move that makes Percy look like a dick and utterly defangs oaths on the Styx. Not to mention, Calypso “cursing” Annabeth (even though it wasn’t intentional or even conscious), and then being given to Leo to ruin his character arc for good measure.

Reyna isn’t even given a chance; her advances are openly rejected by Percy, which is a rarity, and she’s later made a Hunter for good measure.

Nico, despite the years Percy spent worrying about him, searching for him, and then spending time with him, is now treated like a stranger by Percy, even though TLO left them off as good, even best, friends. To add insult to injury, Nico’s “confession” to Percy is, frankly, insulting and played for laughs, and post-HOO he’s given a new boyfriend he has spoken maybe one sentence to beforehand.

And it’s not even just canon love interests either; anyone who even has the potential of an interesting romance with Percy is pushed aside:

Thalia? She’s a hunter now.

Bianca? Hunter; also she’s killed off the chapter after she and Percy form a solid bond.

Any of the Seven post-SON? Percy only has eyes for Annabeth.

Clarisse? Random new boyfriend.

Grover? Random new girlfriend.

Allow me to demonstrate with dialogue why Perianca is a hilarious ship:

Bianca: Dad I got a boyfriend.

Hades: That's nice sweetie, who is he?

(Percy walks in)

Percy: Hi uncle Hades.

Hades: Bianca, is this some sort of joke I'm too ancient to understand?

And:

Nico: You're cute but you're not my type.

Percy: The fuck-

(Bianca absolutely dying of laughter)

Bianca: Nico, you had a crush on my boyfriend!?

And:

Hera: I'm going to kidnap Percy and make him swap places with Jason.

(Approximately five minutes later)

Bianca (currently possessing a death count so high Thanatos is ringing up Hades like 'is your kid okay'): Where. Is. My. Boyfriend.

B is for Bacchus, the patron of the vine! B is for Bacchus getting day-drunk on his wine!

C is for Cetus slain by Hercules, strong and hale! C is for Cetus, we swear he's not just a whale!

D is for my dad who never makes me do my chores! D is for my dad and mine could beat up yours!

E is for our eagle, which we've never lost a day! E is for our eagle, always here to stay!

What do you mean you never realized he was bitter and resentful outside of Leo? You missed the part where he started acting out after his mother died? HE SHATTERED HIS GRANDMA'S FINE CHINA DAWG. Brochacho constantly got frustrated by how perfect Percy was. He was pissed when Hazel held hands with Leo. HE CHOKESLAMED CALIGULA?? THAT TRIP GUY? He definitely CONSIDERED beating the shit out of Nico when be couldn't heal her. WIPED OUT A FLEET OF THOSE POISON SPEWING COWS?? he set himself on FIRE. That man can turn himself into a dragon, a swarm of bees, and fuck knows what else. A praetor with Mar's ability to control the dead.

OBVIOUSLY Frank is a gentle guy, but it's BECAUSE he's GROWN to be emotionally mature enough to deal with most of those emotions. That dude had Ares AND Mars telling him to beat the shit out of fuck ass da grease ball. HE SHOVED A SOCK IN A GODDESSES MOUTH, HIS OWN DAMN SOCK.

There are not nearly enough fanfics of what Frank was like before Camp Jupiter. And it’s not exactly discussed in the books so that leaves a lot of room for nuance so hear me out. Frank Zhang who was MEAN as a mf before Camp Jupiter and being claimed. Frank who could be selfish. vindictive, and petty. Frank Zhang who has hurt people. Frank Zhang who has lied and has convinced other people to lie for him. Frank Zhang who had a tongue like a viper, and no mercy for anyone around him. Frank who was angry, so angry and so full of grief and dealt with it the only way he really knew how.

It’d mean so much if he was not that great of a person before Camp Jupiter and still doesn’t think he’s that great of one now. He tries so hard to be good — good enough to be a praetor, good enough to be someone’s friend, good enough to be a son of Mars, good enough to deserve Hazel and still feels like he falls short. Frank who let Leo bully him because he was convinced he deserved it, after all, this was what he put his friends through.

If this was the case and he was not all that great of a person, it’d make him working so hard trying to be kind and nice so that one day, it can outweigh everything else that he did that he knows he can never apologize for. Frank who has this goal of being a kind and honest and good man in honor of his mother but hiding a temper or a mean streak like his is far from easy. Frank who constantly portrays himself as laidback and soft but is ALWAYS ANGRY.

Frank who knows in the back of his head that he’ll always be that bloodthirsty furious little boy who took his own insecurities out on everyone. Who knows that he’s delicate like a land mine and he’ll blow everything up, including himself if he’s not careful. Who thanks the gods everyday that Hazel and Percy and all of his friends never had to meet that boy with too much pride and so much grief and not enough healthy coping skills.

Nobody went "I miss Jason!" Like everyone did in Camp half blood for Percy, even the hunters of Artemis went out of their way to look for him. Jason's "friends" Dakota or Gwendolyn never spared a glance at his direction, his friendship with Reyna was fractured because of communication issues, etc.

Camp Jupiter was, realistically NOTHING without Jason (and Reyna duh) yet they have the audacity to neglect him.

And then they cheaply "made up" for it by giving him some grand state funeral. What's the point? His body was wrapped in an expensive silk, but his soul left that world feeling useless and unwanted. An expensive fancy funeral isnt going to change that.

His funeral was dark and empty, because not a single one of his Greek friends could make it.

Jason Grace was doomed to be chained to the clutches of the soulless camp of Rome till the very end. Like Michael Varus said "born a roman, die a roman"

CJ fighting- fights as a legion, a cohesive unit with cohorts operating in tandem

CHB fighting- more of a 1:1 style fighting, demigods working with others (usually from their cabins) but it’s more like operating along side each other

CJ community- each part serves the whole, little to no value placed on the individual

CHB community- each individual is valued as a necessary component of the whole

Camp Jupiter had NO news for six months. Octavian and Reyna said that people looked for Jason but ended up giving up. They assumed he was dead. And honestly? CHB would have done the same thing (except for Grover, Tyson and Annabeth) hadn’t they known. (Which would have been a cool concept, actually.)

>Jason was betrayed the moment he came back and didn’t reunite with any friends. No one came up to hug him. And two hours later, after being there his entire life, they turned against him, gave him no benefit of doubt, and almost killed him.
