#cabin 12

Children of Dionysus are extremely over dramatic and good at getting attention.

Some children of Dionysus can talk to Leopards (like how Percy can talk to horses), and all children of Dionysus seem to prefer felines over all.

Dolphins hate Children of Dionysus from the time their dad turned a crew of pirates into dolphins.

Children of Dionysus are surprisingly good at make up, especially stage make up.

Children of Dionysus also seem stronger, or their godly half seems to come out more in bars, clubs, and theaters since they’re in Dionysus’ domains (kind of like how Percy is stronger in the water).

Some children of Dionysus have a love for movie and tv shows, especially on how they are produced, since movies and tv shows are a modern version of theatre.

Quick TW, I advise you tread with caution because some of these can be darker than the rest

1. When Will heals he's literally putting a piece of his own health into someone's body, so if he goes too far he'll end up killing himself

2. All the Apollo kids have very very sensitive ears, which contributes to sensory issues, getting overwhelmed, and meltdowns

3. Hazel/the Hecate kids struggle separating reality from illusion sometimes and can be prone to psychosis and hallucinations

4. Hypnos kids very ironically have insomnia

5. Similarly, Poseidon kids are prone to dehydration

6. Zeus kids are obviously asthmatic

7. The Hades kids have hypermobility issues/hEDS

8. Any chthonic demigods also struggle with fainting disorders

9. Some Hermes kids have ironic navigation issues, and can never remember any directions they're given

10. Apollo kids can't lie even if their life is directly on the line

11. Aphrodite kids are prone to NPD and struggle to form relationships

12. Ares kids are just as prone to BPD or bipolar and struggle with vulnerability and letting people in

13. Rachel commonly dissociates and sometimes feels like her body isn't actually hers

14. Hazel has problems with stiff muscles and her body feeling like a rock itself

15. Frank sometimes forgets he's actually a person

16. Athena kids are prone to anxiety and panic disorders, paranoia, and agoraphobia

17. Reyna forgets she has an actual body of her own

18. Demigods in general are prone to POTS or autoimmune disorders

19. Leo is sensitive to any other kind of burn except fire (steamburns/carpetburn/sunburn/etc)

20. Nico is prone to hypothermia if he overuses his powers

21. Leo and Will are both prone to overheating from their powers

22. Iris kids are ironically either colorblind, or have the color perception a shrimp. There is no in between.

23. Dionysus kids often have ABS (Auto-Brewery Syndrome)

24. Hephaestus kids are prone to heat stroke/fevers

25. As well as issues with weakness and fragile bones/joints in their legs

26. Some Apollo kids can scream so loud they can burst eardrums or even stun those close enough, although this usually leaves them with raw, bleeding throats

27. Demeter kids are prone to scoliosis due to how frequently they need to bend down to garden

28. Hermes kids usually mask their real personalities with a "chaotic mask" so they usually forget what they're really like

29. Iris kids are very sensitive to light and often need to wear sunglasses just to be able to walk around because of retina sensitivity

30. Occasionally, Athena kids can experience degeneration in their optic nerves that can cause blindness and eventually spread to other areas of the body (bilateral optic neuropathy is what I believe it's called but feel free to correct me on that)

p.s. loves: i’m rusty on the book lore & these are lowk based on my experience in a private high school

It’s very few the campers that actually follow the sitting-at-their-designated-table rule. I mean, let’s be real— these are troublesome kids/teens who likely have some resent towards their godly parents for not being present in their lives (resentment that has been building since before they learned the why to it), and with how the gods are, a lot of these kids are also unclaimed. It takes Chiron a while, but he eventually reluctantly lets this happen.

Since those bright orange shirts are a must to wear, the majority of campers have theirs customized. Cutting out collars, cropping them, making them sleeveless, adding embroidery— you name it, they’ve done it. It’s the only way to get them to wear that hideous color.

Satyrs (the ones who are protectors like Grover was) have their own smaller cabin near the big house.

Also the big house is used to house mortal guests.

This is a huge one for me but— the barrier. Certain mortals can enter camp if a god allows it. There are certain exceptions to this rule, as some mortals (those who can see through the mist for example) already have entry on their own. But regular mortals (such as for example Paul Blofis, who has no connections to the gods) would be allowed entry into camp if a god (any god: Olympian, older ones, Titans, etc.) permitted them to. This entails that the gods do keep a close eye on the borders of CHB and their children altogether.

i have soooooo many headcanons for them, i'm literally obsessed with them and i'm not even cabin 12

so

apart from the usual shit they throw the best parties, they're theatre kids etc.

they can influence people states of mind and emotions

can do it purposely if they're strong and can cause hallucinations and mental instability, temporary or not

arguments in cabin 12 last for MONTHS but after they clear things up it's as if it never happened

they don't have charmspeak but can be incredibly persuasive

and they're also harder to charmspeak

they can cure mental illness or drive someone to madness

AND because of that i'm convinced that they can go through dedalus labyrinth without going mad like rachel

also because of ariadne

i'd like to think that she's not bitter with her husband's spawns like hera and persephone

they're my favourite godly couple i'm obsessed with them

and they talked like adults about having an open relationship

because be so fr

after THOUSANDS of years of marriage monogamy ain't an option i'm sorry

so yes, children of dionysus have a great relationship with their step-mom

The Queer Cabin™

dionysus is literally greek loki

so yes, a LOT of fluidity

not even cabin 10 has better shoes than them

leopard print, purple glitter and wine red velvet EVERYWHERE

random underwear too

you can find the creepiest carnival/theatre masks along with the most deranged sex toys in cabin 12

and probably bongs

also there are huge posters of charli xcx and david bowie

also if they're mad to their dad they tribute a portion of their food to david bowie

best friends with nymphs, satyrs, spirits of nature in general and children of demeters and persephone

they also get along well with hermes, poseidon, aphrodite, eros, hebe and hecate kids

I have mixed feelings about apollo's kids

cause like in ancient greece apollonian and dionysiac were completely opposite concepts

so I hc it's like for poseidon and zeus kids, they could be best friends or sworn enemies

but more chill

they usually get along well and stage plays, write poetry and throw parties together

yes they make their own moonshine and sell it to cabin 11

they're also in charge of the cigarettes and pills contraband

yes they secretly grow opium and cannabis plants with cabin 4

YES even if they're underage cause they're literally the children of the god of wine, addiction and hedonism

they drink alcohol like they breathe air

it actually sharpens their senses and wits

so they're always a little bit drunk or high

and even if they don't everyone of them has at least one obsession/addiction

like sugar, caffeine, gambling

they gamble A LOT

make poker nights and WILL cheat

they love to gossip with the dryads and the aphrodite kids

but will literally bet on anything

like if you watched the pitt and read a couple of fanfic you will get me

their hair is WILD

idc what type of hair it's. always. wild.

they got the best hair in the camp tho, naturally shiny and silky

also a lot of body hair

cause c'mon the god of fertility

they have a naturally attractive scent

i'm not saying like sweet or flowery

it's their pheromones

musky and earthy and innate

and it can drive people wild with want

if they're light-skinned their cheeks, ears, lips, neck, chest, knuckles, knees and elbows often paint bight pink or even red

like when they wake up, when the temperature shifts just a little bit, if they scratch their skin or it rubs against something

if their skin is darker it literally glows ????

when they're in their element like when they're drinking or partying or acting on stage

also they're always warm

cat people for sure

they collect vintage bottles in cabin 12

not only grapes and strawberries go wild around them, but figs, cherries, berries and any sickly sweet fruit as well

they have a specific cabinet for honey jars

cabin 12 is covered in grapevines, ivy and pinecones

as someone who studied greek mythology in school i will DIE defending the fact that daughters of dionysus are rare and as powerful as the big three kids

since it was impossible to actually prevent them from throwing parties, chiron conceded them three nights per month

and they ALWAYS have a theme

other nights they simply sneak out with the older hermes kids and other campers. they take the last train to town, party all night and come back with the first train in the morning

dionysus always catches them. he waits for them on top of the half-blood hill, arms crossed trying hard to look disappointed, but he never tells chiron

he's actually very proud of his kids

chiron knows everything but pretends he doesn't

the therapist friends that need therapy

if they get really wasted at night you will probably find them at the beach, singing and reciting poetry to the moon and the sea

bonus:

i'm not american but hear me out

the bacchae live in a farm on the appalachians

may or may not be responsible for half of the creepy ass stories about those fucking mountains

the thing is

these stories are not unfounded

they're a women-only religious cult that goes around searching for naive hikers to sacrifice to their deity. they slaughter them and consume the cadaver

I don't make the rules

ok I do but do you see my vision?

every once in a while chiron asks dionysus if he's gonna do something about them

dionysus pretends they don't exist

he's lowkey scared of them but will never admit it

a/n: these are all my personal headcanons. i will be making ones for more minor gods.
