Zeus Is Suffering And Poseidon Has Never Been More Fulfilled In Life - Tumblr Posts

I'd like to think that as Percy grows older, he starts resembling Poseidon way more than anyone expects.

And not today, modern, chill fisherman Poseidon, we're talking ancient Greek God Poseidon. This also includes some...unique features.

Sharp teeth, sometimes when he gets agitated and frustrated his irises become sharper and thinner. His hair gets pretty dang long, going to the middle of his back; kinda symbolic of the ocean with waves and curls. (Which Annabeth loves braiding or playing with. Percy does not cut his hair.)

One time he's on a quest for 3 months and is not in any position to shave, so he is rocking a beard while visiting Olympus to give back whatever item the gods need at the time.

Suffice it to say that Apollo has a heart attack, Zeus nearly faints on the spot, Hermes is sitting in a corner holding up a cross and reciting the entirety of the Bible, Athena has Athens flashbacks and Ares re-evaluates his entire life in two consecutive minutes.

Poseidon is incredibly proud.

I also have a headcanon that the more a demigod takes after their godly parent, the more it pleases said godly parent.

It's like a claim on the kid, in a way to tell the other gods that "this is my kid, mine. Look at him and all the ways he resembles me."

So Poseidon is watching Zeus have a midlife crisis while he's giggling and kicking his feet. He tells Percy to definitely keep the beard.
