one of my favorite lil headcanons about pjo (maybe ignoring hoo maybe not idk) is that percy post war is so riddled with ptsd and depression and mental health issues and he hangs around camp because he cares for it and the demigods there and he kind of becomes a pseudo head counselor there (its not officially his job but it basically is) and he ends up spending more time with mr d who is slightly more chill with him after everything and they slowly grow closer until the god of madness sees how percy is struggling with his mental health—especially since his ass hates burdening his friends and family so he doesn’t talk to anyone about it—and dionysus is just like. write it all down. use text to speech for your dyslexia. get it all down and see how you feel after that and we’ll go from there. and then adds on that they could use his stories to help prepare future demigods for the trials and tribulations of their lives as well as send out feelers for any demigods out there still in the mortal world. and that’s when percy writes the original five pjo books as a form of therapy and a way to offer understanding and assistance to future demigods
