honestly i love the idea of demigods being “mismatched” with their godly parent and breaking cabin stereotypes

• a short, fat aphrodite kid with no fashion sense. they don’t think they belong until someone points out how well they always know what to say. because love makes you beautiful and you don’t have to fit society’s idea of “beauty” to be beautiful. and aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. not just beauty.
• an athena kid with a love for learning but major learning disabilities. getting saddled with the goddess of knowledge as a mother? gotta suck until they realize that all of their siblings are amazing tutors and have great study tips. not only that, but they also all know what it’s like to struggle in school.
• a child of apollo who is so incredibly tone deaf, cant write a line of poetry, or do archery for shit. they think that they don’t match up but one day, they take a dance class. and they never look back. maybe they become a rockette and apollo comes to one of the radio city christmas spectatuclars and says “art comes in many forms.”
• an ares kid who hates blood and war. instead they want peace. think dad’s gonna be disappointed? wrong. negotiations, bargaining, and treaties are important parts of any war. and honestly? sometimes he wishes his kids understood that more.
• a demeter kid with the complete opposite of a green thumb. but boy can they bake. demeter, being the goddess of the harvest and all, her kids are excellent with baked goods. it’s all that wheat.
