Musical prodigy Steve, who is way too casual about this gift. He plays seven instruments and could read sheet music before he could spell his own name, and literally never mentions it.
He has perfect pitch and can perfectly replicate a song he’s heard once on the radio. If you gave him an instrument he’s never played before and an hour, he’d made something beautiful out of it. And no one knows.
Well, some people know.
His mom still signs him up for recitals and performances out of state, but Steve never talks about it. He just says he has something to do with him mom that weekend, and then goes to preform in a concert hall in front of hundreds of people.
Honestly, Steve kinda assumed everybody was like that.
His parents never made it seem like it was a big deal. Hell, he doesn’t even consider that he could go to college for music (not that his dad would ever allow it). It’s basically a hobby.
It’s only after concussion number two when he’s sitting in English class listening to Eddie Munson complaining for a week straight about how he has an ‘epic vision’ for a ‘new song’ but it’ll never come to fruition because he’d need a full string orchestra.
And then another week listening to him hum the melody of the song.
And then a couple more days with the studio equipment that his parents got him for Christmas that Steve starts to think that maybe this ability isn’t all that common.
Eddie - still complaining - just stares at him with shock and confusion when Steve sits a cassette down in front of him and tells him to, “Stop talking.”
Honestly, that should be it, right? Steve has spent more effort making mix tapes than that cassette and those were barely a blip in the week so…
So, why is Eddie Munson confronting him at his locker the next morning? Eddie’s hands are all over the place like, “Did you really find and pay an entire orchestra to play my music just so I’d be quiet?”
“No,” Steve says slowly because that’s insane. “I played your music so you’d be quiet… it clearly didn’t work.”
“You can play…”
“Yeah?”
Eddie just stares at him like he’s something worth staring at and then asks seriously, “Do you want to be in my band?”
My postage of ‘ship headcanons’ or ‘ship ideas’ is limited and far between bc there will be this one little bitch commenting “ew why do you ship that” or “x character is straight”…and the fact I can’t physically fight you hurts me deeply
This is random but I'm genuinely curious about this If you're an Epic fan that also plays PonyTown, reply/reblog this post! I'm seen several of you fuckers on there/Affectionate
HEEHOO TROLL CLAIRE WIZARD JIM
i remember that post where its like “damn imagine being in the old hexsquad’s graduating class three of your classmates became coven heads and two of them become wizard steve jobs what a high life success rate for that year” and it’s funny but also like. no it’s not just three coven heads and two wizard steve jobs out of a graduating year. they were all from the same friend group.
you had a friend group of seven and three of them became coven heads and two of them became wizard steve jobs. and one of them became a famous reporter and basically a household name bc he shows up on the crystal ball every night. and the last one became a hermit in the woods but also the most powerful criminal in the country? like that is a success rate of seven out of seven if you count eda’s life of crime as a “successful life” which i do.
like imagine being in that graduating year. literally all your other high school friends are just some guy except for this one group of seven. they mostly stopped being friends with each other by the end of high school for reasons you’re not rly sure on but you see them on the news like every day now.
and then the apocalypse happens and the world is saved by a group of plucky teens and you find out three out of five of them are kids of that old friend group. but they didnt actually end up becoming friends bc of their parents they became friends just cuz. and somewhere along the way they roped in the literal golden guard and an actual titan? oh and theres another girl there too her dads are just some guys. the nepotism in the main character industry is insane
I can Almost imagine how Impressive you have to be To Pull THE percy Jackson. Like pulling any Demi-God is great but PERCY?!? The son of posiden?!? THE SAVIOR of Olympus?!?
I headcanon that Percy is really just out of Anyone's League And You gotta be Pretty damn Special to be able to Pull him
Like imagine Fumbling him or breaking his heart
THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
Like come on Rick you are telling me Percy the greatest demigod of all time Jackson has to be paired up with someone who has nothing in common with him, frequently condescends him, literally forces her own views on him, hates his father, has a mother who tried to kill Percy, is controlling and toxically possessive of him and most importantly someone who has completely different life goals than him?? It doesn't even make sense when you look at it rationally.
I think Rick himself was trying to put Percy down in post Son of Neptune books by making his personality all about Annabeth.
We are talking about the Savior of Olympus, the bearer of Achilles Curse, the strongest demigod, the man who denied immortality from the King of Gods, Poseidon's favorite son, the only demigod to have been approached by other Pantheons first and well respected among their demigod equivalents, the only male demigod to have respect of Artemis, only one to be favored by so many Gods on the Olympian Council and that's only pre-Heroes of Olympus.
The Survivor of Tartarus, the demigod whose blood even Gaia wanted to wake to due to his power, the first and only Greek to be made a Praetor and now two times savior of Olympus. This is all without mentioning his singular and unique feats, and he has many.
AND THIS IS WHAT RICK DOES WITH HIS CHARACTER ARC????
Had Rick not been so obsessed with shoving Percabeth down our throats, he could have totally made Seafam Arc, and all our fics would have not been fics. We wouldn't even have needed headcanons for seafam cause Amphitrite and Triton and all of Atlantis would have absolutely loved him cause come on, it's Percy. It's impossible not to love him. So let's assume that's exactly what happened.
So the whole of Atlantis, Seafam, and most of the Olympian Gods love Percy and not to mention Sally and Paul, who are also very protective of Percy.
The new Lord of the Wild is his best friend, The Lieutenant of Artemis is his other best friend and cousin, both the children of Hades/Pluto are his best friends/cousins, the only other demigod to be blessed by Poseidon with a rare gift is also his very close friend not to mention other members of the Seven also respect him greatly and owe him quite a bit.
Hestia, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Artemis,Hades, Hepheastus, and even Dionysus and River gods either openly favor him or have much respect for him. (Poseidon and the Seafam are implied, Bob and Damasen as well).
This isn't even taking into account all the pegasi and nymphs and sea creatures who love him and that he has a literal hell hound.
Percy not only has friends in high places and the favor of literal gods on top of being Poseidon's favorite son as told by Poseidon himself, all the people with special abilities are all close friends with him.
In Riordanverse, Percy is like the only person you don't want to cross like ever.
So you know logically if anyone needs an explanation as to why Annabeth isn't a good match for him and someone like Rachel would have fit much better. A mortal blessed with sight much like his Mother later turned Oracle of Delphi, the girl who saved his life in literally the very first two encounters they have, a girl under protection of Olympians and blessed by Apollo?
Apollo could have definitely waived the celibacy rule as there have been mentions of married women later becoming oracles in Greek mythology( May Castellan too if you count the books) and that the rule is only to prove devotion to the God nothing more. And if Apollo can't, then Delphi, who is a spirit older than Gods themselves, could just change allegiances. She once belonged to Poseidons' domain, so there's that.
But since I am biased in favor of Rachel, literally any other ship but Percabeth would have been logical and fitting and better off compatibility wise.
Darius: Hunter is stuck in the human realm! What if something happens to him?
Alador: My daughter is there too, but it'll be okay. They're with Luz. Your son will be safe.
Darius: Son? Hunter isn't my son.
Alador: He isn't?
Eberwolf: He isn't??
Raine, Eda and the rest of the Boiling Isles: He isn't???

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.
