RGS (Revamped God Swap) AU Pt. Idk

An AU I might actually write pt. 2 (I have too many thoughts)

I’ve always wanted to write atleast one historical pjo au and lowkey I want to write maybe like a WW2 Au.

Would they be demigods? Probably. Why? Because it makes things more interesting lol. Double the trauma. World War 2 is probably one of the wars I have the most information on. It would probably go from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the bombings and then maybe a few chapters of the aftermath.

Also the Roman v Greek thing would be cool (atleast I think they fought in ww2 I forgot it was either ww2 or civil war).

Honestly I wish I could just think of something and it would just apparently on the paper fully written lol. There also aren’t a lot of ww2 historical aus.

Now the big question is: Should I write this?

Getting into the marvel a lot recently and tempted to write a marvel sort of role swap if that makes sense?

Like basically replacing the marvel characters with Percy Jackson characters I guess.

The storyline would prob be a mix of Mcu and Comics and the storylines would be changed a bit to more fit some of the canon pjo stuff but yeah.

I can only think of a few ideas at the moment, but I definitely want Percy to be Ironman. Some people may argue with me tbh and idc lol. I don’t know why I can see it, maybe it’s because of this fic I read by unsureavenger, but I can’t unsee. I mean they both were abused by an alcoholic and have frighteningly low self esteem (atleast Tony does in the movies) and I would probably change his backstory a bit but I can see Percy as Tony Stark (maybe the mcu just altered my brain and Percy has to be the mc in everything I write. Probably.)

I do want to include Luke, but I always try to include Luke in not only Annabeth’s story, but Percy’s too because they’re so important to both of their stories.

I’m trying to think of a way where Luke ends up as Percy’s mentor, and I actually think I can use a concept from the Ironman animated show and a character known as Genie Khan to do this although it wouldn’t take place in the main fic.

I think I could make Annabeth maybe Black Widow (or Captain America?? I dunno. Maybe even the wasp)

Ideas would be well appreciated. This wouldn’t be a main fic of course because I’m still working on my main kinda sorta demigod super hero AU but it would be a side thing of sorts I guess.

Thinking about making a godswap and I’m think about what godly parent I should give these characters bcuz there’s so many options. So first we’re gonna start with Percy??

(I’d appreciate it if you gave your reason as to why in the comments to give me better insight lol. Keep in mind I sort of want to keep to core of his character and not change anything too drastically).

Demigods and Domains

I'm pretty sure this is like pure fanfic stuff but I like the idea of it a lot. The idea that the reason Percy can control things like blood and poison is because while he was in Tartarus his domains evolved and expanded out of the ones his father gave him.

And basically its one of the reasons demigods are so powerful, because they can cross and seep into another God's domain (not easily of course) but they aren't restricted by being a god because they have mortal blood within them.

So that had me thinking a little bit. If Percy (and by extension other characters but it would be a little bit tricker to apply it to) falling into Tartarus where he is pushed to such extremes that the capabilities of his domains shift, then what the hell could he be capable of?

Not to mention possible blessings from the gods and Primordials. (Yeah this is lowkey apart of my Tartarus AU because I think I want to write that one first. Maybe I'll just switch and swap until I finish one lol).

Because I'm not gonna lie I could lowkey see Percy being offered blessings from multiple and I have a few ideas.

But just as a normal demigod what could he domains expand to? Would it be a stretch for fire to become apart of his domain due to the exposure and use of the phlegethon?

I've already thought about the basic things people usually do, pulling magma from the earth, ice manipulation, poison, blood, pulling water from thin air, etc etc.

But I want to do something different because I do want to incorporate "dark!percy" into it somehow.

But not like super op, edgy. dark Percy because realistically he wouldn't be like that. I just see him as more of "falling for you" type if you've ever read that.

So like if you have any ideas PLEASE comment I have none. I really just want to explore his powers out of the basics. (Maybe to can tap into different epithets from Poseidon and from other pantheons because syncretism??

Thinking about my godswap AU a little more, specifically about Annabeth and Grover. I think I want Annabeth to either be a child of hades, ares, or Aphrodite?? I could honestly see Ares or Aphrodite a bit more seeing as they’re both seem to have very emotional demigod children. I thought of Hades because of this one fan art I remember seeing so??

I also thought of Zeus for Annabeth so maybe Zeus? I think in this AU the big three pact may not be a thing so it gives me more freedom for sure. I’ve also thought about giving her a minor godly parent so any suggestions are welcome.

As for Grover I’m not sure. Honestly I don’t have alot ideas. I’ve either thought of:

- Keeping him a Satyr

- Demeter Child?

- Child of Silenus (God of Drunkenness, Forests, and Mine-Making, also tutor of Dionysus)

I feel like I could do alot of cool things with Grover if I made him a demigod but these are all just thoughts.

EDIT:

Please comment your thoughts I’d appreciate them 🙏🙏

Had an idea and had to write it out (based on the idea explained here: https://www.tumblr.com/juniorig0327/760642994531713024/demigods-and-domains?source=share)

Percy spit out about a mouthful of teeth on the ground, clutching his sword. He glanced behind him to see Michael clutching his shoulder and then turned back at the titan Hyperion. Faster than he could blink, Hyperion turned into a ball of light and there was a cut opening up on his side and Hyperion was behind him. 

“I honestly don’t know why step dad is so interested in you. You’re still way too weak.” Hyperion sneered at him, practically fidgeting with his sword and not sparing a second glance. 

“You don’t have any nature spirits to help you, not this time Jackson.”

Percy grit his teeth. Fighting a titan was not on his Tartarus bingo card but it seems a lot of things that happened down here weren't on his bingo card. Frankly, he was getting frustrated. After what he did to Ahkyls, he told himself he wasn’t going to use his powers for things that weren’t natural, but when he looked at Hyperion and the injured Michael Yew behind him, quickly losing blood he knew he had a choice to make. Maybe he did this action out of guilt, out of a desperation to finally save someone, to have a clear conscience (he knew that wasn’t it – another excuse), or maybe he just had enough. Ever since he did what he did his power itched to be let out, it was uncontrollable (acting on its own?– no that doesn’t make sense). 

It’s safe to say when he finally snapped out of his mind and let loose, it was conveniently when Hyperion bursted into a walking fire, only recognizable by his armor and helmet. It’s also safe to say not even Hyperion was able to comprehend what happened when his entire body just… stopped.  

The flames were still and Percy had his arm stretched out but no, this wasn’t blood or water or anything like that. He couldn’t feel the churning in his gut, all he felt was a burning tingling feeling rushing up his arm. 

“What…?” Percy looked at his arm in wonder. He looked up at Hyperion to see he was struggling with… something.

“What did you do, demigod?! You’re a son of Poseidon! What d–”

A sharp echoing laugh boomed throughout Tartarus. A shadowy, dirty looking figure formed from the ground in armor. “Well well well Perseus! I did not expect for your domains to have evolved this quickly. What have you been doing to that poor Phlegethon?” Percy’s head shot behind and as soon as he saw him (it? He didn’t know and he wasn’t in the state of mind to think on that) fear seemed to latch on and fuel every part of his body.

“No need for fear. I just wanted to check your progress, Grandson.”

“‘M not your grandson.” He said with a shaky voice.

“Of course not, but adding all those greats is definitely not convenient, Perseus. I’m proud of you. I didn’t think you’d expand your domain again so quickly. I have to say I am very intrigued. How far do you think you could go? If this is it for just a puny demigod what would happen if it was your precious Annabeth? Or maybe Nico, he was a fine specimen to experiment with for a while but unfortunately he was more of a sad pet. But you–” Percy imagined if Tartarus had eyes they’d be looking him up and down right now. He let out an audible gulp. His fear quickly switched to rage after his brain caught up with what he(it? whatever) said. He was talking about Nico like he was some sort of pet, like a human experiment. And not to mention him threatening Annabeth? The fear in his gut was replaced by a flare of rage.

“Have all this darkness within you. Perseus – to destroy – fitting is it not? Such raging darkness in a son of Poseidon is…unusual. I want to see what you can become.” Tartarus raised its hand(?), “Come Hyperion, let him be won’t you? After all the work he’s put in, I wouldn't want his reunion with his friend to be cut so short, at least for now.” Percy looked back at Michael and rushed towards him, ripping the sleeve of his shirt to try and help him. “You can sink your teeth into him later,” Hyperion only let out a grunt but by the way he felt a gaze into the core of his soul, he had a feeling Tartarus was talking to him “You bleed red with traces of gold in them Grandson. I wonder what awaits. Will you bleed gold ichor, or vanish in a blaze of golden dust?”

The implication sent shivers up his shine. Honestly, that explained a lot. Michael never explained why he had dark fingertips and unusual sharp nails. As Tartarus and Hyperion left like they were never there, Percy picked up Michael and started heading towards the Phlegethon. He had to get out of his place and back up to the seven and Annabeth ASAP. Percy already felt like a monster for all the people that died for him, for leading them to their deaths, for leaving Annabeth all alone (Just like Luke the voice deep within his head reminds him) he wasn’t interested in becoming a literal one too, no fucking way.

My first design for my PJO AU where Luke isn’t the host of Kronos (among other things but it doesn’t really have a name yet.)

Unfortunately someone had to do it where is where I decided to start for my first oc. He doesn’t have a name quite yet but in this AU he’s the one who hosted Kronos and kicked off the Titan War.

He mostly shows up in flashbacks but he definitely plays a similar role to Luke and his actions definitely haunt the narrative.

Most of the quests from the OG books still happened including the Titan’s Curse so I had to give him his gray hair for holding up the sky.

I actually don’t have that many designs done but I’ll post them periodically (probably) as I draw more for this AU than write lol.

Not gonna lie, the Luke and Percy parallels in this very strange AU I’m cooking is going crazy and honestly, I don’t mind. (Slight spoilers for Wrath of the Triple Goddess dealing with Sally and Hecate below)

Because Hecate’s magic school being open as a result of the mist falling, so mortals could fend against monsters I realized have a lot of repercussions. And I say this simply because of the fact that by the time Sally is born, mortals aren’t exactly used to having monsters around. Like, very few weapons have been made and people have essentially been having demigods fight for them because people have no idea where celestial bronze comes from or even what’s going on still, not really.

Because I seriously doubt the gods would go and explain themselves ngl.

So like, by the time Sally’s born, the school has just been reopened as a precaution and so when Sally stumbles across it in canon she sort of ends up there for a considerable amount of their life.

And of course Sally has seen monsters, but she hasn’t really fought against them. And she never really gets that experience before she meets Poseidon, quits, and has Percy. So when everything hits the fan when there’s a wide monster attack (which really set off the development of the M.P.F, Monster Protection Force section of the NYPD) and especially when some of them are coming towards where she and Percy stay, she has no choice but to tap into magic again to protect herself.

And she gets messed up, like really messed up to the point where Percy is basically taking care of her, and with Gabe in the house (because Demigods and powerful Mortals with or without magic still have smells which means Gabe still has that smell to him) that definitely doesn’t become a fun experience for him.

(Btw despite demigod schools like CHB being, open and like not secret, the training and involvement they have in quests is honestly worst than canon because not only do they get quests from the Delphi, which then have to be approved by the government for the go besides the ones which have a deadline, they also get missions from the government so Sally just wants him to stay away from that as long as possible, as a person can go if they or their parent knows they’re a demigod and hasn’t been claimed, but when a person is publicly claimed, they legally have to transfer. So Sally is just trying her best.)

And I realized how similar I made Luke and Percy’s home life, albeit their mothers ended up the way they did for very different reasons. May not for Luke necessarily but for Hermes but Sally did what she did for her Son. So they parents who are essentially emotionally absent.

Then eventually Percy gets to CJ after getting in a fight with the Minotaur which I’ll just say doesn’t go without a death to someone important (Percy doesn’t kill the Minotaur on his way to the wolf house, not yet) in the same way Luke didn’t get to CHB with Annabeth without losing Thalia (I think given the fact demigods are essentially looked down upon and used, I can think they’d still end up in a situation where they had to run and make it to CHB after hearing about it).

And not to mention both Luke and Percy being a target of a godly being, Luke being Kronos (which eventually doesn’t come to fruition) and Percy being to Kronos and Gaea (I decided to do both, since I think I wanted to combine the Titan War and the Giant War since I don’t think I have it in me to do two separate series for this but yeah, which doesn’t come to fruition either, atleast not in the long run).

I’m sure there’s gonna be more as I write, especially when Percy gets to CHB around TTC as even though Luke was an ambassador for CJ, CHB was his home for much longer. So yeah that’s it lol. Just a yap session.

Spider-Man AU

I've posted all the chapters for act 1 because I wanted to get them out instead of sitting on them. They might be kinda shitty but they're done. Start with chapter 2

There are so many times I've thought to design a poster-style art piece of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde in a genre of a crime/murder mystery. Where Hyde and Jekyll are depicted as completely separate people until the very end, since the whole point of the story was that the fact they're the same man was meant to be a plot twist at the very end.

Also the transformation between the two identities is never 'seen', it's only referred to in third person in regards to the protagonist - only when Jekyll leaves a letter explaining everything is the duo-identify revealed.

I still find it funny how the book is probably earned itself the title of Most Pointless of the Classics to Read, since everyone, even mentioning Jekyll and Hyde, regardless of whether they've read the book or not, references the plot twist as the very first thing about them. Even early republishing illustrations and movie posters spoil the whole point of the story!

I'd love to see, not matter how pointless it seems, an adaptation that keeps to the genuine mystery the story had when first published. It would have to have a secrecy tradition like The Mousetrap, where everyone who's seen it can't talk about it.

tldr: Read Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and reeeeeaaally try to forget everything you know about it from pop culture. It's genuinely a good crime/murder mystery otherwise.
