Spare Change
Leo: Do you have any change?
Percy: I have like… two quarters
Leo: Can you make bills?
Percy: How am I supposed to bill two quarters?
(An actual conversation I had with my cousin)
Please?
Poseidon: Just for a moment son, just to see what you think.
Percy, well aware of what his dad is up to: No.
Poseidon, pleading on his knees: But my son-
Percy: No.
Sally, shaking her head: He should know by now.
Paul, confused™️: What?
Sally: Percy doesn’t want to be a god. Poseidon wants Percy to just “try” for a few moments.
Sally: He thinks Percy will fall for it because there’s no changing back.
Paul: Why…?
Sally: I guess you call it a father’s love; I call it Poseidon being over protective and possessive.
Paul, waiting for Poseidon to argue:…
Poseidon, taking a moment and smiling way too happily: No, she’s completely right.
Percy: Dad, that isn’t a good thing.
Poseidon: All I’m asking is for-
Percy, sighing: No.
Percy Gets on a Plane
Annabeth: Percy, this isn't a good idea.
Percy, not deterred: I do not care.
Annabeth, praying to Poseidon: Come get your son, please, we're going to die.
Percy, praying to Zeus: If you bring this plane down I'll tell my mom.
Annabeth: Percy...
Percy: Annabeth, my mom is in labor. We are in California. I am meeting my sister now.
Annabeth, sitting a row away: You could have asked Nico.
Percy: Nico was sleeping. I don't have time for his to try and kill me first.
Annabeth: But you have time to go on a 9 hour flight?
Percy, quiet: I... may not have thought this through.
!!
Poseidon, glaring at his brother: Do not dare.
Zeus, done and slumped in his seat: I saw what Sally Jackson did with that shotgun, I wouldn't even think it.
Sleepover
Triton, waking up in the middle of the night to see Percy by his bed: wha…?
Percy, six: There’s a monster in my room.
Triton, sighing: Stay here and I’ll check.
Triton, stepping into Percy’s room and seeing a kraken: … please leave.
The Kraken: 😀
Triton, sighing: You like the halfling, don’t you?
The Kraken: 😁
Triton, going back to his room: It is a nice monster, Perseus.
Percy: Oh. Can I still sleep here?
Triton, just wanting to sleep: Yes, get in.
Percy, smiling: And the nice monster can come too!! I’ll get him!!
Triton: Perseus! No!
The Kraken, settling on Triton’s floor: 😇
The Accident
Anphitrite: And then you…?
Percy, hiding: Came here because Triton wouldn’t do anything with you around!
Amphitrite: oh you sweet child, Triton does not mind being grounded.
Percy, scared for his life: what’s he gonna do to me?? It was just glitter…
Amphitrite: …
Triton: PERSEUS! DONT BOTHER HIDING.
Percy, bolting: IM GOING BACK TO NEW YORK!
The Lesson™️
A mortal professor: Zeus is the oldest brother
Percy, only there to check on a monster problem: No. No he isn’t.
Professor: Yes. He is… who even are you?
Percy: That doesn’t matter. What matters is Zeus is the youngest brother and the biggest whiner.
Professor: …
Percy: Honestly he lives up to the standards of a spoiled youngest sibling.
Percy, after lightning barely misses him: You know I’m right. That’s why you didn’t kill me.
Professor: … SECURITY
A Few Hours Later
Percy: and then security threw me out
Poseidon,unsurprised and exasperated: So that is why Zeus has been cursing your name for hours.
Windex
Percy: *drinking blue Coke from a windex bottle*
Poseidon, concerned ™️: my son… it has come to my attention that windex is poisonous if ingested
Percy: yeah
Poseidon: Perhaps… you should visit the healers…
Percy: nahhh, I survived Tartarus
Poseidon: …
Percy, staring his dad in the eyes and throwing the coke back: it’s good. I’ve got some more if you want some, dad.
Annabeth, on the sidelines with her mom: Apparently it’s payback for how Poseidon treated Kym.
Athena, begrudgingly impressed: And he just… pretends to drink poison?
Annabeth: Nah, there’s also the fact he’s turned all of Atlantis’ guards into his minions.
Discord Update:
Alright so the discord is mostly ready. I’ve got two mods (one is probably only temporary and only doing it as a favor to me) but depending on how many people end up joining I might open mod apps again. If I’m not done with the next chapter by March 8th I’ll release the discord link here.
I do want one more mod!!!
When I do release the discord link please be aware the server is still going under slight tweaks.
ALSOOO! I hate Twitter (not gonna call it X) so i downloaded BlueSky so follow me @dezzyj.bsky.social
No Cut Strings and other things!
1. I promise I haven’t abandoned it!!! I WILL add more soon, but I’ve run into a few technical issues… such as a mean laptop. Like I had the full chapter ready to post, saved it like I always do, and went to sleep. When I woke up the file was gone and I couldn’t find a way to recover it so now I’m rewriting. Again. 16k words gone😖😖😖 ig that was the universe stepping in and telling me I had to try again lol
2. I’m in need of a beta reader! With how long my chapters tend to be I miss things when I edit. Plus fresh eyes always see something you won’t. I only have a few requirements!! You have to be 18 or older bc I do not feel comfortable talking to a minor for anyyyyy reason. Like that’s just… no. Also I would like someone who understands narrative writing doesn’t always follow correct grammar, but eh. Also I’d appreciate my beta reader being a mod in discord once I figure that app and how to make a server out.
3. I’m taking mod applications!!! I’d like to have 3: my beta reader and two others. Please be 18+, knowledgeable of discord, and willing to be constantly @‘d/DM’d in case of issues in the server. Right now I’m just trying to figure out bots and how to make it the way I want to. If you want to be a mod and know how to do that just let me know!!!!
One Shot!!
So I am working on No Cut Strings right now, but while I was writing it an idea for a one shot wouldn't leave me alone. I decided to write it as I wrote the next chapter (which might be late but it's because of health reasons so I'm sorry). It's loosely based off of my Incorrect Quote of how Percy should have met Triton but won't be completely the same. It's not too long (it is a one shot lmao) but I hope it isn't too short either.
My plan is to make this a series of one shots based around the SeaFam and the Incorrect Quotes I post. I'll probably not add onto it all the time, just every now and then between chapters that take a little longer to write. Like a treat. <3
There is a little bit of world building in this fic, and I did take several creative liberties for how Atlantis is constructed but it's fanfic soooo...
If I'm remembering right Thalia was turned into a tree 5 years before Percy went to camp, so he was 7- like Annabeth. So, most of the plans in this fic focus on the fact Percy isn't the prophecy child, and the gods know that because Zeus told them about Thalia when she was born. Let's pretend the other gods were mad, but didn't try and kill her because her dad fucked up. Let's pretend the gods know about Percy and didn't try to kill him because Thalia was already born, and they can't really say anything against it. OK? Let me have my creative liberties please <3

Election
I’m starting this out by saying if you follow me or read my fics and voted or support trump— get off my blog right now. I don’t care how many followers I lose. I don’t care if you think you’re right. I DONT CARE.
I have cried all day. I have cried for myself, my siblings, and EVERY minority that’s going to lose even more rights. I have cried because my family doesn’t see me or people like me as a human worthy of life. I have cried because my grandfather would rather I die in childbirth than receive life saving care. I have cried because my grandmother would rather support a convicted felon than the grandchild she raised. I have cried because I am scared. I have cried because I am devastated to my core. I have cried because I am pissed off. I have cried because I have received comments and threats on TikTok, Discord, Instagram, and even Twitter from men saying “your body my choice”. Men saying they will show me what WOMEN were made for. Threats and harassment not even a full day after their cult leader was elected.
I am angry. I am tired. I am scared. I am sad. I AM HUMAN.
And to every single one of you out there terrified to continue living because you know what is coming— DM me. I will listen. I know it’s scary. I know it’s something no one should have to face. But the most we can do is fight to survive and fight for our rights. I stand with every person who is terrified right now. I stand with every person who doesn’t know if they are close to being safe. I will be here. I will listen. If I am working, sleeping, or driving I will respond to your message the SECOND I see it. Losing my job is more than worth it if it can prolong your life.
