I LOVE THISSSSSS IDEA! prince drex gets to suffer as sweet girl gets to be the crown and add on top of that, she gets to keep her knight and marry him!

the idea of him being at her side at all times even after they're married and everything, i just KNOW he's proud.

also gonna get a little hot in here but the blissful nights of them making love together? WHEW

drex is living out the rest of his miserable days in a dungeon. or if the queen feels merciful, he shovels the horse dung out of the palace stables.

and yes! ray is so so proud of his wife, the queen. he literally drops that into every conversation as if everyone around him doesn't know that they're married. "my wife, the queen, has decreed..." this lowly knight is obsessed in love.

as i said previously, knight!ray isn't bothered that he's merely a consort. if anything, royal life doesn't suit him, which is why the queen appoints him leader of her armies - a job ray takes very seriously. he still gets to be a knight but with the added pleasure of slipping into her bed at the end of every day.

speaking of...

I forgot I had this to answer lol

very good question

I think it depends on how henry manages to graduate

is it cause his friends were covering for him behind his back?

if so his bubble doesn't burst until he realizes he's like a full adult now and still second fiddle in his own life

till he realizes he's an adult and has no life to speak of other than the one which was always supposed to be secondary

till being called kid danger starts to feel wrong because he's not a kid

by then he'd probably already be helping train df so I think things would continue pretty normal from the end of hd into df and then there would be a henry crash out ep or potentially a full multi ep arc where he eventually realizes he can live a life and still be kid danger, has a rebrand and gets a new name and then the rest of the series has several b plots where he tries to get other part time jobs and start living his own life

however if it's cause his friends confronted him and pulled his head out of his ass and he actually realized kd had consumed his life?

I think it would have ended similarly with him quitting, but instead of him moving to dystopia with Charlotte and Jasper I think he'd get like a small job in swellview and take an extra year so that he could graduate before eventually going to online college or a local community college to get a slightly better job

he would show up in df to help out way more frequently and potentially even go back into heroing on the side while being more conscious of boundaries

I feel like there would be more tension between him and the kids in this scenario because he'd try and like get them to have lives but since he's bad at communication they would always just think he's insulting them for having no lives

EDIT, PLEASE READ: the comparison to flufftober wasn't entirely correct. flufftober is a month where you're given a prompt for each day and are free to create something if you want to. that's not exactly what i was actually thinking of (that's what happens when you make a poll like this at midnight...). my idea is basically to do the star trek potluck but with henry danger and a different theme but very few people probably know what that looks like so that's why i didn't just use that for the comparison

i've explained this before but for absolute clarity i feel i should do it in this post as well. the idea of the star trek potluck is that the event has certain slots you can sign up for during the time it's happening. so let's say the event takes place this week, you'd be able to sign up for thursday. and if that slot is already taken i might be able to give you a spot on friday. and on the day of your slot, you would be publishing a work around this theme. so you'd only create 1 work for the event and the result is a week of as many people as possible coming together and creating around a certain theme. unlike flufftober, there IS a signup system with a deadline for your work. of course there is some flexibility, it's not the end of the world if you can't meet the deadline after all, but it really is much preferable if you DO meet the deadline so there's a buffer for people who can't. the event doesn't really work if no one manages to meet the deadline (but flufftober is of course also bound to certain days)

so there's only 1 "prompt" and it's very general and just a theme you can create a fanwork about. and you only create 1 work. but it's with a signup system and with the slot thing

Like, a kind of “yeah man being the kid of the king of gods would be great” in place of a cool but minor god?

ohh very fun question <3 because. there are several things going on with that.

first, there's the most basic level of reasoning on her part- children of zeus are powerful. more powerful than her, or any of her friends. and now the four of them are finding themselves constantly facing threats they're not prepared for- and chapa's default strategy in a lot of those situations is intimidation. use what you can to make yourself seem like more of a threat, give yourself the advantage of a nervous/uncertain enemy. that's how you can keep your friends alive.

and the thing is- chapa didn't lie about it it the first time that trick worked to help them win a fight. the first time it happened, it was just some mythological being looking at the demigod kid trying to stab them, seeing the lightning powers, drawing the logical conclusion, and deciding they were Not prepared to deal with that today.

and chapa doesn't actually realize what had been going on there until she learns a bit more about the demigod world.

and at that point, she's seen a few older demigods get visibly nervous upon seeing her powers - because the AU prophecies are different from PJO canon, but the rule against the big three gods having kids is still very much there - and then relax once they've pieced together that she's almost certainly a child of astrape, not zeus.

so. she knows by now that zeus isn't supposed to have kids, and she knows that it would cause lots of problems for everyone if she had been a child of zeus-

but. she also knows that children of zeus are intimidating. and she knows that intimidation can be the difference between life and death. and chapa's already decided that any of them dying is not an option, no matter what.

so. that's around the time she starts taking advantage of the assumptions.

second, there's a crucial aspect of her character that plays a role in that as well. consistently, from her very first introduction in canon- chapa wants to be taken seriously. and that does somewhat play into her feelings about being the child of one of the much more minor gods.

because- it's not that she spends a lot of time thinking about the fact that she's the only one of them whose godly parent isn't one of the twelve olympians. it doesn't bother her too much; she's good with a sword, good with her lightning- she's probably the best fighter of the four of them. they've never had any reason to doubt her abilities.

it's just. when she does think about it, every once in a while- there's a bit of discomfort there. a faint prickle of irritation, unease. mostly during the time she's actually at camp instead on the run (early on) or on a quest (later on). because that's when she's actually around demigods other than her friends. that's the only time she has to deal with the subtle idea that the gods aren't really all that invested in the kids of minor gods.

and there's a bit of detachment on her part, she isn't all that interested in the gods' opinion of her overall- but. the urge to be taken seriously is very much there. and that maybe does factor into the frequent lying about her parentage- because. regardless of the consequences- there's no denying that that has enemies taking her seriously.

third, perhaps a bit less relevant than the other two points, but. she does feel a bit weird and conflicted about the fact that she's technically facing much less of a threat from monsters than the other three.

because- mika and miles were two significantly powerful children of apollo living in the same house, they were facing the most monster attacks as kids. bose wasn't dealing with as many as the twins, but aphrodite was still a major goddess, so he was still in a lot of danger.

chapa, on the other hand- she was still in danger, but with astrape being a minor deity, she was notably less easy for monsters to detect.

and she has. complex feelings about that. something about how fighting comes easily to her, it always has- but she's also the one who would be in the least danger if she was on her own. and it's not quite guilt, exactly- but. something about it does feel a bit unfair.

so. potential of that also being a factor. she's confident in her fighting abilities, so- it's a surefire way to get an enemy's attention off of the others and onto her so she can tear them to pieces. maybe a bit of a risky strategy, but- hey, they haven't lost a fight yet, right?

(...she. might be a bit too confident in that mindset. <3 and - as you know - the Plot has some things to say about that. <3)

NO THIS IS A GOOD ONE COS ITS ALL ABOUT THEY'RE YEARNING BUT LOWKEY IT'S A FUN SONG. its sad and lonely and just a little bit upbeat so it describes them perfectly.
