percy jackson 🏀
send me a character + an emoji for a surprise!
on the radio . . . so high school (taylor swift)
basketball was something percy hadn’t played in a while. in fact, he’d completely forgotten he even liked the sport until you brought it up one day - asking if he still played since one of your siblings was looking to get into it
ever since that day, the boy had been hell-bent on finding an excuse to play. it sounded dumb, but your question had made percy realise exactly how much he lost by discovering his godly heritage. he no longer had time for the simple things he enjoyed back in middle school
so as soon as he got the chance to leave camp, basketball was the first thing he did after spending time with his mother, stepfather and baby estelle. naturally, he brought you along too
“okay, i just wanna say that i haven’t played in a while so excuse me if im a little rusty,” percy said, dribbling the ball. from the way he did, you would’ve never guessed he even left the court - he was a natural. you watched from afar, the book you were currently reading in hand (even in situations where you’d be too busy to read a book, you brought one anyway just in case)
you smiled fondly as you watched percy in his element. he’d missed the first two times he threw the ball up at the hoop, but the second time was a success and he quite literally leaped with joy. after so long doing quests and training for all sorts of situations, you were happy to see your boyfriend act his age again
“do you wanna try?” percy said, a sparkle in his eyes you hadn’t seen in a while. his question caught you by surprise - you never had a knack for sports. not wanting to embarrass yourself, you were about to decline his offer. however, you changed your mind upon noticing the way he was excitedly jumping in his position
who were you to turn him down? he’d sat through countless rundowns of books you read that he probably didn’t care for, this was the least you could do. besides, you loved him to the moon and saturn - you would’ve let him feed you to a chimera if he wanted to
was playing basketball a little humiliating? sure. you’d gotten the positions completely wrong and missed the hoop by an amount that’d make an nba player bawl their eyes out
percy never gave up on you though, and it was all worth it when you finally managed to get one through the hoop. immediately after, percy lifted you up and twirled you around in his arms, promising you your favourite ice cream as a reward

having horrible sanji thoughts today but do u ever think abt how he went from being trapped in one situation to the next. how when stranded and starving to death he probably felt a sense of deja vu despite being able to see the sea and the sky, a past representation of freedom. and he was what only EIGHT at that point. its just so crazy how positive and how much of a ray of sunshine sanji is despite everything hes been through . hes so. head in hands

Ok bonding time’s over. How about Nico, in a fit of grief, lashing out at Lester and practically blaming him for Jason’s death? I know it’s not but grief blinds people sometimes.
Something like “Hasn’t he done enough for you mighty haughty gods?!” or “Why? Why does he have to die?” something along that line idk go figure
Talking Nico as a plot device here because his grief is such a beautiful and powerful thing it feels like it can hit a god. Wonder how that would hit Apollo, who at that time is having his own realization/epiphany about gods and mortals and demigods tho - to have someone actively stab a knife at his struggling insecure self. 👀👀👀
