*note From The Future: Ive Realized This Couldve Been A Joke Post Or Sarcasm, If That Is The Case- I
*note from the future: I’ve realized this could’ve been a joke post or sarcasm, if that is the case- I have been tomfooled. But hey, there’s some reasons that Octavian could get to be the Augur and Senior Centurion!)
Okay, okay! I’d like to present a possible answer. If I’m remembering correctly; Octavian can see the future (like in SoN with the whole ‘the Greek has arrived’ and the whole smoke and special affects) Apollo also notes that Octavian was contacting him when we talk with Apollo in BoO; So in some case he has prophetic powers that could land him in the Augur position, and secondly,
We are drawn attention to in SoN the fact that Octavian is stated to be a good Orator. Now, Oratory skills are nothing to brush off- a bunch of people have come into places of power throughout history due to being good Orators! So could it be safe to say he managed to through being a skilled Orator, making sure he had majority of his cohorts favor, and adding the fact that he was the Augur on top.
Okay that last paragraph was written weirdly, I just woke up. But yeah; his See the future stuff wasn’t stopped until Python took control of the Delphic cave and Apollo got blasted from the sky.
And this answer (i think at least) works okay because it gives him genuinely good reasons to get into the positions of power that he has. Rather than just getting through from money.
But, Augur: could reasonably see the future if looking at the objective fact parts of canon (in my opinion at least from what I remember, and it wasn’t all of one of the POV’s going ‘Welll, can Octavian actually do that?’)
And rising to being the senior Centurion: he could’ve rose through his Orating, careful strategic planning, and generally trying to show himself to look like the best option.
That’s my idea at least, it’s from what I remember from the books- and maybe it does give a okay explanation.
Okay but if Octavian couldn't see the future then how the hell did he gaslight gatekeep girlboss his way into being not only the camp augur but senior centurion of the best cohort because yes he's got money but money doesn't tell the future!!

extremely upsetting that the ancient romans didn't have zoom because i would pay serious denarii to see mark antony mute cicero's microphone while he's giving a speech
I just got home no braincells left. After the wild time I’m not risking it.
“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

I would like to give an update on Kleos’s fury, drawing the map is daunting and scary, so instead I have been writing out notes on actual historically accurate Roman forts/ permanent camps,
I have written five pages. I almost forgot about eating dinner. It’s great, I’ve squealed in delight at least three times. I’m excited to actually format Camp in a way and try to try the map after I’ve gotten my information, and in other notes I’ve finally set aside an entire notebook just for my Camp Jupiter stuff- I have included photos of my notes below, and I will note that in no way are these notes finished, I am far from done catagorizing my map things,





Anyway I am gonna go continue my research and decent. Have a good night, I am unenthusiastic to actually draw this map. Please help scale makes me want to rip my hair out, it brings up memories from design and modeling and I never want to see a piece of isometric paper ever again.
Brief Michael Kahale questions,
In SoN I we’re told that Centurions have to serve at least 5 years as a legionnaire before becoming a Centurion
And we Know that Michael Kahale was a linebacker in highschool, meaning more importantly that he went to highschool. But, like-
Michael is strongly implied to also be a teenager- I don’t like the idea of a like 23 year old Michael running around with a lot of 16 year olds and being close friends with 18 year old Octavian; and it strongly is implied that he is of similar age of Octavian.
But he went to highschool. And like- it at least feels like he had a year or two of highschool, enough to be recognizable in his linebacker situation and as a demigod to be scouted by Octavian’s father,
Which like, if we go 18 year old Michael kahale- or even 19 year old Michael Kahale at the oldest (though I always like making him 17, this is my own hc and I will not be including it) Anyway- if we go 19 Michael, he’d have to join the legion at 14; which, not impossible, some kids will be entering freshman year as 14 year olds, but- like- WHAT??
It feels, wrong to say it was fresh faced little baby Michael; Reyna makes it feel like he is newer to the legion, and that most of his bulk was Linebacker stuff.
But that implies that he ALSO broke the 5 year rule, that were told is super duper important and is rare to be broken- but really it feels like a lot of people broke it.
Frank obviously did, it’s an improtant plot point. I don’t think we get confirmation that Praetor’s also have this rule, but I feel like they do- and in that case then Percy and maybe Reyna both break that, then now Michael Kahale. Really it feels like no one really cares about this rule if we have this many examples of named characters that don’t follow this rule- not including any side characters were given that would make sense (very thankful that they did not hand over Dakota’s tattoo details so we could reasonably say that he got to the legion at 11 like Octavian, and actually properly followed the explicitly said rules about ranks) Also Hazel! She was at least at the camp for a year before HoO I think, and then only what, another year passes for ToA, she, at the most- could have around 3 years of service and I am only going off of memory here-
Literally no one cares about this 5 year rule unless we imply that 23 year old Kahale is running around and that makes me uncomfortable!
Anyway I’m gonna go to sleep now because I have to go to school tomorrow, good night- if anyone has any actual good explanation for this other than the continuous lack of characterization and attention paid to Camp Jupiter and the concepts presented in Camp Jupiter; I’d love to hear it
I had a very nice fic idea/daydream. Lemme share. Moral of the story is that Sally is a badass and best mom.
Anyways so it's Sally's POV and she finds out that Percy died when Poseidon throws a grief induced tantrum making the weather/oceans explode.
Sally does waste any time, she gives Estelle to Paul and heads down to the underworld via central park entrance.
She pulls out a bone for Ceberus and pets him (because they're already friends, Sally loves playing with Mrs. O'Leary and Ceberus) and has him track down Percy. And when she finds him, she just. Hugs him and then walks him out of the underworld.
Hades eventually notices and shows up to tell her that she could be happy in Elysium with Percy and Paul - all three of them have earned it.
Sally tells him no and that she's determined to bring Percy back. Hades says I can't allow that, but then Persephone says no babe let her. I like her. We bonded during the titan invasion and we've been having weekly book meets.
And while Hades is busy being shocked and trying to figure out what books his wife likes, Persephone waves her hand and a path to the surface appears. Sally walks with Percy through.
Poseidon's pouting at the entrance all, "I was gonna offer him immortality and a place in my palace." And Sally is all Amused like "bitch you took too long. When were you gonna go, after you spent the entire month destroying the surface world?"
Meanwhile Percy is stunned. His mom went to hell for him. His dad still wants him in his life for eternity. Like no wonder he's such a protective badass. It's in his DNA.
Eventually they get home. Poseidon follows them, and he's still pouting so Sally takes pity on him and says you know what. If Percy's okay with it, I'll share custody of our child. You can have him on alternating weekends as long as you don't send him on quests or put him in danger. And that quite literally sends Poseidon over the moon (emotionally). He kisses Percy's forehead the moment Percy says, "yeah I'd like that! I get to see Tyson!" And leaves to redesign Percy's rooms.
Meanwhile, Paul has already changed Estelle and cooked dinner for Sally, Estelle, himself and Percy (he had no doubts that Sally would be successful) and the table is already set, like a good househusband.
