It's Said That The Deeper The Bow, The Deeper The Respect.

I cannot believe how this hasn't been addressed in the PJO Fandom yet but does no one notice that the books, Rick himself glosses over or downplays the fact that PERCY FUCKING JACKSON GAVE UP IMMORTALITY!!!

And in reason as to why Percy gave up immortality?

The Percabeth stans are only too happy to make "Oh Percy gave up immortality for Annabeth." The hell he did. Have we read the same books? Are you really demeaning the importance of what Percy did. Cause here's what happened, and here's why it's so important:

PERCY GAVE UP IMMORTALITY SO THAT GODS COULD CLAIM DEMIGOD CHILDREN EARLY SO THAT THEY DO NOT REMAIN DEFENSELESS.

Furthermore, he did it so CHILDREN OF MINOR GODS COULD HAVE A PLACE TO BELONG TO, TO HAVE IDENTITY OF THEIR OWN, SO MINOR GODS THEMSELVES CAN BE PROPERLY ACKNOWLEDGED.

Similarly, he further added that CHILDREN OF HADES SHOULD NOT BE OSTRACIZED, THEY AS WELL AS HADES DESERVE TO BE WELCOME INTO OLYMPUS AND INTO CAMP , DESERVE PROPER RESPECT.

What ticks me off the most is how such an important sacrifice such an important change is never addressed again to the extent it deserves.

Cause this is not a surface level thing. This is going to change and better the lives of all demigods that come after or even demigods who were wrongly forced to remain in Hermes Cabin. A safe, more respectful, more meaningful environment for all demigods no matter who their godly parent is.

Are you telling that children of minor gods don't literally worship Percy for doing all this? Don't wholly completely feel grateful at least that he voiced out for them over his own difficulties? That he made a safe place for them happen?

Are you telling me that Minor Gods themselves don't feel at least a little grateful and respect Percy who did this of his own volition without having even met many Minor Gods. That he voiced out for their own children when they couldn't?

Are you telling me that Travis and Connor or any other demigods and cabin counselors don't automatically rave on about the greatness of Percy Jackson to any new arrivals in Camp Half-Blood?

Cause we were robbed of this of a proper homage to the sacrifice other demigods, Luke himself and Percy himself made to make it happen.

Piper, Leo , and Jason all seem so ignorant to it. Even newer demigods in Chalice of Gods or other books seem ignorant to this, and that's so against the usual canon representation of Camp Half-Blood as a community.

We should have seen it in Lost Hero, should have seen it in Chalice of Gods, should have seen it acknowledge repeatedly. You know why?

Yes, Percy didn't want immortality, but don't you know that deep down Percy knew exactly what immortality meant? Eternal protection from his father in his realm. No Gods bothering him, no more sacrifices or death quests. Freedom to do what he wants. To be able to spend time with his family as long as he wants without the worry of risking their safety. And he gave it all up

NOT EVEN IMMORTALITY. GODS WOULD HAVE GRANTED ANY WISH. HE COULD HAVE WISHED ANYTHING. FOR HIM TO BE PROTECTED? NO MORE QUESTS? FOR GODS TO LEAVE HIM ALONE? HE GAVE IT ALL UP, ALL OF IT.

Perseus bloody Jackson made happen what no one in the History of Camp Half-Blood has ever done. He managed to make Gods change their ignorant ways. He dismantled a culture of neglect and abuse.

And the fact Rick himself let this happen, let all this gloss over, and the fact that Percabeth stans have the AUDACITY to insinuate that he did for Annabeth and demean Luke's sacrifice, Percy's sacrifice is beyond me.

Hello, I want to ask what are the science kids & the Austins worst experiences with Marinette or Ladybug were? Like it could be mixed of both, I’m just wondering.

Okay! *cracks knuckles* Let’s fucking do this!

Simon:

Asked by her many many many times to help her get some video footage of Adrien. He would’ve said yes, but Marinette asked for him to do it in secret

Uh… Illegal? And when they said no, she snapped and sent him dozens of photos she took of Adrien in secret before storming off… He’s an accomplice now.

Reshma:

Alienated simply because she was rich and Marinette saw a photo of her in a magazine with Chloé for some charity gala, and immediately assumed the worst

Marinette spread a rumor back when they were twelve that she and Chloé are friends, making it hard for Reshma to make any friends for herself

Denise:

Reprimanded by Ladybug in front of dozens of people for “vigilantism” when really, they just punched an Akuma before it could attack Simon

When they commissioned a dress, Marinette explained that she didn’t quite have enough fabric for Denise’s build, even when Denise made serval offers to pay double. She didn’t wanna “waste” fabric. (I’ll give some of ya’ll a moment to think about what that means)

Jean:

Pressured into giving up the lead role in a play to Adrien so Marinette could kiss him

He got Akumatized because of that, and received a harsh lecture for Ladybug over forgiveness or some shit, and Marinette never apologized to him

Ismael:

Marinette: “No offense, and not to be rude, but your current look is kinda butch. I get your wanna- I mean, your are a guy, but you could stand to look a little more presentable. And remember, there’s no shame in having a feminine touch to your clothes.”

She’s one of those aggressively accepting people who goes on about how “Ismael, you should be a model! You look so good! I can make you tons of binders, and I’ll donate the money to transgender charities!”

Marc:

He wore ONE magenta skirt to school and now Marinette keeps trying to get him to wear more traditionally feminine clothing and be her model for an “inclusive line”. And when he was Rooster Bold, Ladybug kept trying to get him to transform into an outfit more like Pigella’s

Marinette keeps giving him terrible advice for dating Nathaniel, even going so far as to suggest he should stalk him

Cosette:

Promised dozens of times to help them study for a big test, but NEVER kept them. Cosette managed to get a good grade on their own, but there Marinette is taking the credit for “helping them study” and soaking up the praise

And Cosette is just like: Uh, bitch? You didn’t do jackshit.

Lacey:

While doing parkour around Paris, she was interrupted by a sudden Akuma attack. As she was sprinting back home, Ladybug swooped in out of nowhere and knocked them off the side of a building. Lacey was horribly injured and Ladybug didn’t do shit to help her back up, Chat Noir did

And when the Cure took effect, instead of asking if she was alright, Ladybug had the gall to reprimand her and Chat in front dozens od people for their “recklessness”, and Lacey was forced to take some shitty seminar of safety and shit even though she’s gone through all the regulations of what she can and can’t do

Zoé:

Unwillingly dragged into the cringe Adrinette plans despite her constantly saying no, only to be met with some clear gaslighting from Marinette

When she told Marinette about how she was bullied at school, this girl made it all about herself and talked about how she was constantly bullied by Chloé until Zoé faked being sick and left… Then Marinette texted her the rest of her story when she got home

Aurore:

Aurore has a habit of correcting people, not to be rude, just so they don’t make the mistake again. When Ladybug was having a hard time figuring out what to do with her Lucky Charm, and her method would have put lives in danger, Aurore rushed in and used the Lucky Charm in a way that wouldn’t have risked the lives of probably dozens

And although Aurore received praise from the citizens for her quick thinking, Ladybug was pissed, scolded Aurore for behaving so recklessly without a Miraculous, and told everyone to never follow her example. This public scene got Aurore suspended from being the weather girl for a while until some protesters backed her up

Mireille:

When Marinette heard she was going to a party with Adrien thanks to her dad’s connections, she kept trying to “coerce” Mireille into making her her plus-one. But Mireille said no dozens of time and in a fit of jealousy, Marinette moved the “wet floor” sign and Mireille tripped and fell on the floor, allowing Marinette to steal her ticket

While on bed rest, Mireille turned the tv on and saw Marinette in a pink evening dress holding Adrien’s hand and going on about how Mireille was so nice to give up her ticket to her since she couldn’t go

Austin A:

As revenge for a bad review on her website, Marinette stole his makeup bag and swapped out his face cream for something Austin’s allergic to. So, when Austin used it, his skin broke out in hives and he had to go to the hospital

When he returned to school, he heard Marinette going on to her friends about how he deserved what happened. The worst part of this is that the bad review was warranted. The scarf he commissioned unraveled easily

Austin B:

He decided to try out for the Mecha Strike tournament because Max was out sick and wouldn’t be able to compete. He won, and gets to play alongside Adrien. But, then! Marinette swoops in and steals his position

Then she rubs it in his face in private, telling him the school doesn’t need “another Chloé” representing them

Austin Q:

Saw him walking his brother home while he was in his headspace, made a show that she was concerned about him of all people being the one to care for Félice, causing Félice to have a panic attack that she accused Austin of causing

Saw him buying a shark plushie at a toy store and took a picture, which she sent to everyone, and Austin was too mortified to leave his own home

Austin T

During a school bake sale, more customers were going to his booth instead of hers, she got jealous and made backhanded compliments about how “his pastries are so good that Austins clearly enjoys them himself” (Give y’all a moment to think about what she meant)

When Ladybug came fo the school as a guest speaker to speak about abuse, she used Austin and Jean as an example when talking about dating violence, implying that Austin is an emotional abuser and questioning why Jean wears so many long-sleeve shirts

*Later*

Aurore: So, we’re in agreement. Marinette needs to be stopped, expelled, and then arrested.

Austin T: And Ladybug needs to turn in her Miraculous to someone who’s not a total b-word.

Denise: For sure. That girl just expects me to sit by and let my friends get hurt so she can do her stupid Cure in the very end? Nope! I’m getting real sick of that bitch!

Austin A: So… What’s the plan?

Everyone: …

Simon: Honestly, I don’t have one. Okay, both of them have too much influence, they know celebrities, and a bunch of fans to back them up… Huh. Saying it out loud, Marinette and Ladybug are kinda similar.

Jean: … Oh, hell no.

Cosette: Nope. No, you stop thinking that, Jean.

Jean: Too late.

Austin B: Well, if you look at the facts, it makes sense. Plus, it’s not a coincidence we’ve been screwed over by those two in the worst possible ways.

Aurore: True. But, Marinette will just pull the “poor me” card and say her actions were from the stress of being Ladybug.

Marc: … Fuck it. Fuck any photo consent laws. We follow Marinette during an Akuma attack, take a video of her transforming and post it on an untraceable anonymous account. She’s forced to give up her Miraculous to someone WAY more competent, and that takes care of one problem. While she’s getting the martyr treatment, we expose Marinette for the person she truly is in and out of the mask. She loses everything, and we win.

Everyone: …

Ismael: Marc… I am so proud of you! You devious little Angel! Let’s do this! Are you people ready?!

Reshma: So ready.

Austin Q: I was born to do this!

Cosette: LET’S BURN THAT BITCH TO THE GROUND!

Oops. I dropped these. Enjoy!

Prove me wrong! 🤣

This is a continuation of this post I made the other day: https://its-rat-time-babey.tumblr.com/post/682475975290880000/so-i-realized-something-about-hunter-you-know-how

———————————————————————————————————————

So I was thinking about how Hunter’s grimwalker physiology makes him immune to the boiling waters of the isles and I started thinking about just how different Hunter’s body must be compared to the average witch. So now I have a bunch of headcanons about the differences between Hunter and other witches. Here they are.

Hunter is extremely heavy and physically strong compared to a witch. A generally accepted headcanon I’ve seen is the fact that witches are very light and aren’t very strong physically when compared to a human, the most common reasons I’ve seen for this being:

The bile sack takes up quite a bit of space so other organs like the lungs and heart must be smaller and by extension weaker so the bile sack fits properly.

Witches have been relying on magic for their entire lives and just don’t need to rely on physical strength much.

Luz, who claims to have “weak nerd arms” was able to carry Amity like she weighed next to nothing.

So witches are pretty light and not very athletic compared to humans.

But now think about what grimwalkers are made of:

Selkidomus Scales for the skin. (Thick, fireproof, magic resistant and heavy).

Palistrom Wood used as keratin and probably cartilage as well, meaning fingernails, hair, nose, ears, and parts of the bone. (Wood is pretty darn heavy, especially when compared to actual keratin, cartilage and bones).

Gladorstones for providing power and serving as the heart. (gladorstones are rocks, and decently sized ones at that. You can’t tell me that they’re light).

Stonesleeper lungs serving as lungs. (Probably pretty heavy considering how big stonesleepers are and their ability to petrify themselves and live, but in the long run they’re just lungs. Massive Lungs that can turn into very heavy stone in the right conditions, but organic lungs nonetheless).

Bone of orlet. (Just bones. Nothing to say here).

Point is all the stuff used to create Hunter weighs a ton and since he’s made of that stuff, so is he. Luz can pick up a witch that’s around Hunter’s age and size like a sack of potatoes, but she struggles to lift Hunter an inch off the ground.

Secondly is Hunter’s physical strength. He stronk. Especially when compared to a witch. He doesn’t have any magic, but he’s got plenty of physical strength, and I have some proof of this.

At the end of hollow mind, Hunter runs out of the owl house. He just swings the front door open and runs. But the house was on lockdown and we were already shown that there were like four different latches on the front door alone. So that begs the question; how did Hunter open the door so easily?

The only obvious answer is that he forced the door open hard enough to break the latches. He broke four metal locks simultaneously in one single, fluid motion. He didn’t struggle or even seem to notice that he did it. So Hunter’s clearly got some serious muscle.

There’s also his staff and how he fights.

First of all, his staff is made from metal. This is because it uses artificial magic like Belos’s staff. But a heavy metal staff also plays into how Hunter fights.

Hunter seems to prefer fighting up close and personal and constantly tries to physically hit people with his staff as opposed to casting spells from a distance.

Makes sense when you think about it. Hunter can’t do magic on his own, but is incredibly strong, so physically hitting someone with a staff is easier and more effective than trying to cast magic.

Hitting someone with a heavy metal staff definitely does more damage than hitting someone with a lighter wooden one. Plus Hunter’s artificial staff is heavier on one end (the end with the crystal) than the other, allowing it to act a bit like a hammer or mace and do even more damage when used as a melee weapon, while wooden staffs are perfectly weighted in the centre with no end heavier than the other so spell circles can be created easier with them.

Hunter can’t use spell circles, so there’s no point in having his staff be optimized for making spell circles. And on top of all that, the winglike part of Hunter’s artificial staff can be used as a sort of axe blade, making it even more effective up close.

Having a heavy, unbalanced metal staff also makes it much harder for someone to steal it and use it against Hunter or other members of the emperor’s coven. The witch will be struggling to properly use the thing due to its weight and unbalanced centre of mass, while Hunter and his grimwalker strength can use it just fine.

Moving on from Hunter’s strength, here’s a couple of smaller headcanons:

Hunter’s lungs being stonesleeper lungs means that he can hold his breath for a very long time and has some pretty strong lungs overall. Stonesleepers basically hold their breath for the entire night since they petrify themselves when they sleep and un-petrify themselves in the morning. They need some insane lung capacity so they don’t suffocate. He can’t hold his breath forever, but he can hold his breath for just long enough for it to be unnerving for those around him.

Since Hunter is partially made from palistrom wood, and palismen are made from palismen wood, Hunter can understand and speak to palismen. Even palismen that he has no connection to. For example, Eda can talk to Owlbert and understand him because that’s her palisman, but she can’t understand Flapjack because Flapjack isn’t hers. Hunter can speak to Flapjack and understand him because Flapjack is his palisman, but he can also understand Owlbert just fine as well because he’s (partially) made of palistrom wood.

The combination of magic controling palistrom wood, magic focusing gladorstones and magic resistant selkidomus scales that make up Hunter’s body gives him a slight resistance to magic.

Hunter is immune to the boiling water of the isles and heat in general because of the Selkidomus scales used in his creation.

Hunter’s blood is neon green, just like the insides of a palisman. After being exposed to air for a few seconds, it turns blood red.

Moving on from those ones and onto something a bit more important, The gladorstone that (if the grimmwalker instruction book is correct) Hunter has instead of a heart that powers his body.

It literally says that the gladorstone is used for “heart and power” and unless it’s talking about heart in a metaphorical sense and Hunter’s non existent magic powers, it’s being used as a replacement for an organic heart and it’s also what powers Hunter’s body. I got two headcanons that take advantage of this fact.

Firstly, because he has no heart, Hunter has no heartbeat. If you put your head up to his chest, you’d instead hear the constant humming of the gladorstone that occupies the space where his heart should be.

Secondly, the gladorstone providing constant power to Hunter’s body means that he doesn’t need to eat, drink or sleep very often. He still needs all those things and does still get hungry, thirsty and tired, but at a far slower rate than a regular person.

Combine that with Hunter’s nonexistent sleep schedule and complete lack of self care and you get someone that can go for a full week without eating, drinking or sleeping and only start feeling the negative effects of it five days in.

———————————————————————————————————————

I took a step back and reread what I wrote and I realized something.

Hunter:

Resistant to magic.

Physically stronger and more durable than most witches. Can overpower almost any witch in a physical fight. His staff is even designed to work alongside his physical strength.

Completely immune to the climate of the boiling isles, not caring about the rain and barely needing food and water. There is not a single place on the isles where this kid cannot survive.

Extremely large lung capacity and grimwalker endurance means that he can travel extremely long distances on-foot quickly and preform all sorts of athletic achievements without breaking a sweat. Making it harder to escape from him. The witch he’s pursuing will always tire out before he does.

Barely needs sleep, making it even harder to escape the golden guard.

Name is literally short for “Witch Hunter”

Hunter was built to be the perfect witch hunter. Emperor Belos was trying to make the boiling isles equivalent of the terminator.

In conclusion: I just love these characters

Hopper accidentally becomes the biggest ally in Hawkins out of hatred for Mike Wheeler. El wants to date Max? Perfect, Mike is terrified of Max. El wants to date Max and Lucas? Even better, more people to keep Mike away. Will comes out to Joyce and Hop? Hopper is immediately studying up on gay culture and flagging so he can find him a Hop ApprovedTM boyfriend. He sees that nice boy Gareth cuff his jeans one time and starts inviting him to family dinner. Mike seems annoyed that Steve is spending more time with Munson? A pamphlet titled “Accepting your Bisexuality” finds its way into Steve’s jacket pocket. Hopper has never seen Mike as furious as the day Steve and Munson arrive at dinner holding hands. It’s a good day. Hopper isn’t sure how Nancy dating the Buckley girl will annoy Mike, but he’s willing to give it a shot.

The head of the healing coven has never been around Hunter for more than a few minutes at a time, mostly because Belos forbids that the two of them interact for some strange reason, but the few times they’ve gotten close to Hunter always reveals something concerning about the golden guard.

And I’m not just talking about the healing coven head noticing Hunter’s scars. I’m talking about the head of the healing coven noticing the weird quirks of Hunter’s grimwalker biology.

The first thing they notice is his fireproof skin. It’s not that weird at first glance, many demons have a slight resistance to fire, but the concerning part is just how strong that fireproof skin is. The demons that have some fireproofing built into their bodies aren’t completely immune to fire and they can still be burned with enough of it. Hunter is not only completely fireproof, but can walk through the boiling rain and swim through the boiling sea. This just shouldn’t be possible for a witch like him.

The second thing they noticed was his body temperature. It happened during a mission with Eberwolf and Hunter. They were trying to hunt down a beast that was terrorizing a local area. Eberwolf was there to track down the thing, Hunter was there to fight the thing (he had just been promoted to Golden Guard a few days ago and Belos said it would be good training for the future), and they were there to act as a healer to Eberwolf, Hunter and any civilians that were injured by the thing. Long story short Eberwolf cast a spell that let all of them see in infrared so they could track down the creature using its body heat and the healing coven head noticed that Hunter’s body was at a much higher temperature than what is normal for a witch. Constantly at temperatures that a regular witch would consider feverish. They actually mentioned this to Hunter and he just went “Oh yeah that’s perfectly normal for me. Uncle says it’s something I inherited from my family.” They spent the entire next day searching for something that could cause those unnaturally high body temperatures and be passed down genetically but they never found anything.

The third thing they noticed was his heartbeat. A slow heartbeat is normal for some witches and demons, the boiling isles are very, very diverse when it comes to biology, but the complete lack of a heartbeat definitely isn’t normal. They originally tried to justify this with the logic that Hunter’s armour must make his heartbeat harder to hear but no. Hunter just straight up has no heartbeat.

The fourth thing they noticed was on a trip to the knee. All the coven heads were travelling there for a meeting regarding the day of unity and the golden guard was there acting as a bodyguard. As they all trekked through the cold of the knee, the head of the healing coven noticed that they could see Hunter’s breath coming from the eye holes in his mask, and by playing attention to that, they noticed how slowly Hunter seems to breathe. So slowly that it’s hard to tell if he’s breathing at all at times.

But one of the strangest things they’ve seen was the golden guard running into the castle after a mission, covered in visible injuries. Hunter went straight past them and headed straight towards the throne room to speak to Belos. The healing coven head only caught a small glimpse of Hunter as he ran past, but they swear to this day that Hunter’s blood was as green as the insides of a palisman, with some actually red blood mixed in. No witch or demon on the boiling isles has blood like that.

Hi can I ask what made you a big fan of Donald Duck?

Hi!! Great question. I think it was the fact that he's the most relatable out of the Sensational Six. That he was the first to be shown as a great adventurer (Scrooge was added later). I love his berserker rages and feats of physical strength.

That he's capable of so many badass feats and has so many just as badass alter-egos (superhero, secret agent, monster-hunter, ninja, mage).

That he's canonically served in both Army (during WWII no less) and Navy (in 1987 Ducktales).

That he's influenced so many things both in fiction (he's the reason for the expanded Duck universe in the comics, Indiana Jones, Inception, Star Wars, anime itself were all inspired by his Carl Barks comics) in addition to real world events too (University of Oregon's Fighting Ducks football team mascot was based off him).

And finally because he took in his three nephews when he didn't have to and tries his best to give them a good life.
