Octavian And Michael Quest Where Venus Lost Her Girdle.

Octavian and Michael quest where Venus lost her girdle.

This is totally random but I wanna write it specifically because I wanna write tiny little baby 13-year-old Michael and Octavian sit there and have to get to like, Santa Barbara and pick it up from like Artemis because she had one of her hunters bag it because she lost in Uno against her or something.

Super stupid example but I needed something really quickly and I dunno. Feels like a thing Artemis would do to her Aunt(?) in Pjo canon I think its like her Great-Aunt.

That example obviously has massive repercussions to the Hunters and their knowledge of both camps and whatever. And like Octavian and Michael having to somehow retrieve it without being like turned into a dog or something I don’t know!

Anyway probably expect a like skeleton of that potential story soon once I figure out what their doing.

(Except for the prophecy. I can’t make prophecies, I’m worse than Pjo Apollo at trying to poem myself so that will… have to be figured out.)

For reference that’s the distance between Berkeley (I think that’s where Camp is) and Santa Barbra. Though I might move it to being in Santa Cruz so I can make stupid Disney shenanigans.

Also this entire concept is totally subject to change but I just wanna write what Octavian and Michael’s quest was but I also wanted it to be very like. Not super duper serious? Sure the Girdle is a very powerful thing but I didn’t want it to be like on the brink of war whatever,

Honestly how it’s going down in my head is like, two sisters arguing about clothes swapping but instead it’s like, “JUNOOOO! Where is my girdle??” Haha silly Iliad reference and then like Juno does the whole “I don’t know Venus have you blah blah blah” and then Like you get the idea.

I keep saying it- but the Ranking post might actually be done soon-

I have most of the ranks summarized. Now I just have to actually make them fit into camp and modify them a bit for camp structure. It’s… a lot more roles, but it’s my re-imagined and I can do what I want with the concept I’ve been building and it helps stage how I want camp to feel in the re-imagining (regimented, suffocating, and confusing compared to Camp Half-Blood. Something something more concepts that maybe I’ll use a different time-)

The actual reason I wanted to write this was just to say that if I hear another person say the word “preppy” around me to describe something or an action I perform I will actually sob. Was standing for the bus and had one of my friends call it preppy when I started talking and jumping about like Pompey the Great or something-

It actually irritates me, which arguably it is 100% a dumb thing to get irritated over. But it upsets me and I need somewhere to vent-

Anyway… I’m gonna make strawberry cupcakes today :3 and probably finishing off the note summaries because after that I can work on the ranking in my free time at school because then I don’t need (as much) historical accuracy.

Also here’s a draft for a sort of Octavian art I did,

Okay I really don’t know what this post is anymore. Ranking will be out soon and possibly either a Mercury short story I need to figure out or a little Bryce one that I also totally don’t have figured out.

Or y’know the ranking post. That’ll probably be it.

Working on doing that ranking post, doing the gathering of various online sources because at the moment I don’t have any Rome books :[

Anyway would like to say everytime I see a post about something Rome related I start a very stupid laugh my friends have likened to a bird, dolphin, or hyena. Love seeing them,

My musical production begins meetings sooner and sooner every minute and… I should probably practice my audition a bit more lol-

But uhhhh, substance- working my way through TBoSaS (the ballad of songbirds and snakes) sadly I probably won’t do much, about hunger games. But if I do let it be known that it would be mostly about,

District 2

The Capitol

District 4

Because that’s what I’m interested in, the Capitol mostly because it just haifjwbdiekanfnrjrjw- hits the yummy part of my brain.

Anyway, more Octavian general hcs, or another Michael Kahale one? We’ll see what I decide to do while waiting for both my McDonald’s and the new episode.

Okay that’s all (it’s going to be an Octavian post all about his siblings/family)

ALSO! I’m working to get a grip on Ancient Roman naming conventions(?) and posting my hcs about that an applying it to Camp Jupiter or whatever, also the Ranking post will be the first time I’ll bring up New Rome (gonna talk about the governance, which I think I’ll pull from late Republic? We’ll see idk I don’t usually pull from specific eras of Rome intentionally-) weapons post coming up, and more in depth map one :3

Canon.

Genuinely wondering if the camp Jupiter legionnaires get paid.

Maybe Looking too deep into this but that’s what I do for everything,

Anyway I was scrolling and saw another on of the silly little photos of the lizard from the Pjo Tv show,

And it got me thinking, what type of lizard (gecko) is that? Does he give us any silly foreshadowing?

This is a crested gecko I believe, and though crested geckos don’t have any specific mythos geckos themselves symbolize adapting to situations, regrowth, protections (dubious but idk)

And crested Geckos change colors through their natural life! I think having one of them specifically is really fun for the show because in line with the symbolism that I found they map well with Percy (who has to grow and adapt to demigod life)

Okay that’s it :]

Waiting for the part of the show when Annabeth and Grover say the most wild inside joke ever and Percy is left confused because I want more Annabeth and Grover acknowledging the bond they’d have from traveling all those years ago.

*Bonus; Annabeth calming down and slowly and somberly saying something about Thalia liking the joke because from my read on the show Annabeth is pushed in a more idolizing Thalia angle from what I’ve interpreted so far.

This post was hard to write because I have a cat named Granger and kept wanting to correct Grover to it. Sadly I don’t have any creative flows going on at the moment so no big posts that I can say will happen (though I am working on some art👀…)

Anyway might finally get around to reading the Aeneid because I’m getting to the final sprint for TSoA and my tolerance for it is slowly chipping off. I love it it’s great, but the me inside of me that likes the classical epic can’t help but sit there and go, “Why is Patroclus a tiny little babygirl? I thought that was ________’s job? Patroclus was not this afraid of battle why have we babygirled him in the bad way??” That is just my read on it but from what I remember generally Patroclus was a silly little guy that could most certainly hold his own and was effective in battle (I know it’s just for the story but I can’t do many mythological re-telling/ anything that moves in line with varying mythologies, PJO hit the sweet spot for me, while things like a thousand steps into the night I generally didn’t find too wild, though it’s mythos I’m not familiar with. But stuff like TsoA or the loose stuff marvel does completely turns me away *other than moon knight I love moon knight*) and blah,blah, blah something about boxing I might post a draft I made about Palamedes.

Also on the topic of TSoA it’s the only book that I accidentally read hoarse as horse.
