#drew and silena
Text
i will forever be disappointed at how the Aphrodite cabin is portrayed in the books.
Silena was an exception I guess but it wasn't enough tbh. I really dislike the way wearing makeup or dressing up fancy is seen as "shallow" or "too much". There's nothing wrong in wanting to dress extravagantly, it's a form of self prep. Fancy ≠ shallow. And the only "good" member of the cabin after silena was a girl who didn't like her own cabin and was seen as super "cool" simply because she rejected all the "girly" stuff by rebelling. Why can't we have both "girly" and non girly girls as cool people?
Drew was genuinely very shallow, but every time she's brought up in the books, instead of soley describing her personality, her tendency to wear makeup is shown as a bad thing. And it's not just because she's seen in piper's pov, she wasnt really described any better in Sadie Kane's povs either. When Sadie described drew wearing "awful pink eyeliner" upon seeing her + plus saying her perfume was 'too much' or something like that.
Reading about Drew's character description just gives me a headache lol because the way Rick wrote her as being shallow while ironically making other people judge her in a shallow way is just off putting. Like, no need to bitch on her for wanting to be more 'feminine' and "princess-y" ?
Give me an Aphrodite kid who sees wearing makeup as an art form (because it is) and not simply just to impress other people, like drew.
Give me an Aphrodite kid who uses fashion as a coping mechanism from their shitty life.
Give me an Aphrodite kid who loves knitting other people cute scarves as presents.
Give me an Aphrodite kid who loves doing younger camper's hair for them as their love language.

imagine you are drew tanaka in the middle of a losing battle and being told that your sister, your big sister who you trusted, was a traitor.
imagine hearing everyone call her a hero and not understanding because she was a traitor. she was a traitor and people are dead and how many of them wouldn't be dead right now if not for her?
imagine you are all of fourteen, maybe fifteen, and you are put in charge of all your siblings during a battle many of them are going to see the end of all because your sister sided with the enemy.
imagine feeling like a monster in your own skin. imagine holding in this gigantic hatred for a person everyone is calling a hero. imagine watching the flames on your friends funeral pyres die out and wondering if they would've survived if Silena never defected.
imagine four months later, a girl comes in and tells you you're wrong to feel this way. a girl who never knew silena. a girl who was never stuck in a war in new york for days on end while the enemy attacked from all sides. imagine she tells you silena was a hero when she doesn't know what it's like to be betrayed by someone who was your sister.
imagine she takes the responsibility of a dozen or two campers off your back by becoming the new cabin counsellor and you can't help but feel thankful for it.

You are Silena Beauregard. You know love is cruel, if you haven’t won you’ve lost. You will not follow in the footsteps of your cabin, you will make love a good thing, a happy thing. You will make a relationship work, you will be different. Luke castellan offers you a deal, you take it. What’s the harm in it? It’s not like you have anyone’s heart to break. You meet Charles beckendorf, you fall in love. Luke betrays camp, you betray Charlie to save him. He is dead and it is your fault. A week later, you see him again, you’re finally together. It only cost too many lives, including your own. You do not follow the rites, and look where that got you.
You are Piper McLean. You are told love is cruel, a game you can either win or lose. You refuse. You will be different. Even if Jason remembers, your love is still real. It is still different. Isn’t it? You fight a war by his side. Your love is real, is good. You two will mold yourself to each others image, you will carve yourself into being made for each other. You tie a noose around your neck so no one can hear your screams. You break his heart so you yourself don’t break apart. You prove yourself worthy of Aphrodite, and he proves himself worthy of Elysium.
You are Drew Tanaka. You have been taught love is cruel, learned it the hard way. You must win or you must lose, neither choice erases the tears or grief. You have broken hearts left and right. You are Aphrodite’s daughter, through thick and thin. Love isn’t good, and neither are you. Your older sister tried to convince you that it didn’t have to be this way. You still can’t decide whether to love or hate her for her final moments. You are forced to take her place, a mere shadow of who she was. They know it too, and you’re drowning in dead expectations. A new girl comes, so like her. She thinks she can be different. Good. A year later, you get the news. Jason grace is dead. You are not good, and neither is love. You must win or lose, any other way only ends in two hearts broken, and hands coated in blood.

Cabin Matchup for @november-solarstorms
╰┈➤ Thank you for doing Matchups at Sugutoad
Tumblr media
╰┈➤ Cabin 10 ‘ Goddess of Love, my moms Aphrodite’ 
I’ll be honest, this one just came straight to me. Since you do matchups, you probably had those moments when you see a matchup and it just hits you?
Daughter of Aphrodite and Legacy of Hecate 
Do you know how beautiful you are? The way when entering the room, the sound of heels clicking against the cabin floor, all eyes are on you. They feel intimidated by your cold yet beautiful aura.
You have the best outfits in Camp Half Blood. After bribing Chiron that at least once every month campers should be allowed to wear whatever they wish. But Chiron insisted that orange must be somehow incorporated through your outfit but let’s be honest, it’s hard to pull the colour orange if you don’t know what you are doing.
After hearing that news, campers flooded the Aphrodite cabin. They were so eager to talk to you, to sort of thank you and help them with an outfit. Together you and your siblings made everyone look beautiful.
Even though charmspeak is quite rare amongst Aphrodite kids, being a legacy of Hecate sort of gave you a boost up. Sorcerers have been known to use charmspeak such as Medea. But even if it weren’t for Hecate, I just feel like you would get charmspeak with that sharp tongue of yours.
You radiance so much confidence, the young campers look up at you. Though you are known to be aloof, you have the sweetest smile but some people say it’s the use of your Aphrodite beauty but only you know the truth
You have control over magic, maybe not as much as Lou Ellen or Alabaster but since your father was the son of Hecate you had some control. And I know for a fact that Drew and other Aphrodite kids get jealous at times since outfits tend to be seasonal. You really can’t wear a short skirt in the winter, right? Well not if you don’t have magic. Using a small spell, you can control the warmth of your body. So despite it freezing or boiling outside, you can wear anything you feel like.
Fighting is a dance when it comes to you. Think of Mitsuri from Demon Slayer. The way you grab your sword, tiptoeing around and spinning so gracefully. It all looks so sequenced out and so beautiful.
Can I just say you would be besties with Drew? Ultimately two Aphrodite girls who are so similar ought to be friends. When Drew was elected councillor of the Aphrodite cabin, she elected you as her assistant to help her around. Though we all know she just wanted your company and to talk with someone, she didn’t want to be lonely.
Whenever there is a party, you always help set everything around. Whether it’s making the lights or making sure everyone looks beautiful. But no one ever knows where you are when the party happens. Plot Twist: You are most likely in your room and reading a horror story . But don’t worry, your siblings won’t rat you out and will bring food from the party. Drew always pokes you around for liking too much horror and ghost thing, she won’t admit but she is scared of ghosts and you bringing them up all the time isn’t helping,
You are one of the top demigods in Camp Halfblood. You pass all your classes with flying colours, whether it’s archery or hand-to-hand combat. While Percy was doing his own prophecy, you were sent on small quests to help the camp. 
I don’t know why… but I feel like you would join the Titan Army. Upon hearing that, your siblings were heartbroken but when the war was finished they welcomed you with open arms.
After leaving for New Rome for college, you certainly left a mark and legacy in Camp. Memories of you linger around every part of Camp.
I know this is a cabin matchup but can I just add that if I were to give you a romantic matchup it would be Rachel? But if you are interested in guys then perhaps Leo/Percy?

love how the fandom collectively reimagined drew's character. recently had a cousin of mine pick up the lost hero, and she told me, "reese, i don't get how you like drew. she's so mean to piper." and i kind of sat there for a moment trying to reorganize canon from fanon.

cabin ten curse 👀
YEAHHH!!!!
The curse of Cabin Ten, as opposed to Cabin Seven, affects all of them. It was a curse inflicted by Nemesis when she got tired of Aphrodite flaunting her love life, how many people she'd gotten to fall in love with her, a trait her children shared, so she cursed the cabin.
In The Lost Hero, we learn about the Aphrodite Rite of Passage.
“The rite of passage for an Aphrodite child,” one explained. “You get someone to fall in love with you. Then you break their heart. Dump them. Once you do that, you’ve proven yourself worthy of Aphrodite.”
Playing on the Rite of Passage, if a child of Aphrodite has someone fall in love with them and then doesn't break their heart, that person will die.
Take Charles Beckendorf for example, we're told that Silena refused to complete the Rite of Passage.
“Forget it!” Piper yelled, a little louder than she’d intended. The other kids backed away. “I’m not breaking somebody’s heart just for a stupid rite of passage!” Which of course gave Drew a chance to take back control. “Well, there you go!” she cut in. “Silena said the same thing. She broke the tradition, fell in love with that Beckendorf boy, and stayed in love. If you ask me, that’s why things ended tragically for her.”
And Beckendorf died. So did Silena, but her death doesn't play into the curse.
We could also tie in Piper and Jason, although Jason died after Piper broke up with him. But the key part of their break up? Piper didn't break up with him for the Rite of Passage, therefore she never completed it.
Also, if a curse is cast a while ago, the exact way it affects the cabin may get lost in translation. In canon the Rite of Passage is to make someone fall in love with you and break their heart, but if we tie in Jason and Piper, we can twist the curse into having to break the heart of someone you've fallen in love with or else they die.
Silena was in love with Charles, she didn't break his heart, he died. Piper was in love with Jason, she didn't break up with him with the intention to break his heart, he died.
This could also explain why Drew is so adamant about her siblings completing the Rite of Passage, no? We don't know how long she's been at camp, but if shes the oldest after Silena we can figure shes been there a decent amount of time, watched sibling after sibling lose and grieve their partner because they didn't complete the passage.

Headcanon that the cabin 10 rite of passage (breaking someone's heart) wasn't really a choice, but a coming of age curse on children of Aphrodite where either they would break someone's heart or their heart would get broken. And head counselors like Drew enforced the first half to protect their siblings from a broken heart themselves

gonna get hate for this but Drew was so valid for not acting like Silena was a hero cause I’d be pissed if my friends died cause of her spying and suddenly everyone acted like she’s some goddess

Give me dangerous Aphrodite kids
Give me the Aphrodite kids that hide daggers in their hairbrushes, whose perfectly manicured French-tipped nails show no sign of the poison in the polish, with mascara that helps them see through the Mist more easily, with leather jackets that are stylish and give better protection than other tops.
Magical makeup.
Weapons that hide as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hair clips.
Kids that know they’re beautiful, and know that people will underestimate them because of it.
Ones that will send a brilliant, perfect smile at you to distract you while their partner drives a knife into your back.
Ones that can flirt their way out of any situation, and that know exactly what to say.
Ones that can take one look at you and figure out every emotional weakness you have and have no qualms in ripping through them all to get what they want.
Ones that took “All’s fair in love and war” and ran with it.
Ones that know that, as much as love can be amazing and incredible, love can also be heartbreaking and terrible and soul-wrenching.
Ones that are just as dangerous, if not more, than the Area and Athena and Big Three kids - because those others can kill you, but they can make you wish you had never lived in the first place.
Just. Dangerous Aphrodite kids.
