@mercurialhero / ‘ Feckin’ americans. y’all can’t drink for SHIT. that’s just embarrasin’ ‘n i bet y’didn’t even go to CHURCH. ’ / st paddy’s day
❛ well ‘us americans’ haven’t been drinking from the age of two, so i’d consider us at a DISADVANTAGE when it comes to holding our alcohol. LACK OF PRACTISE. . . . why would i go to church?❜
[ TXT → @mercurialhero· ] wink wink [ TXT → LUKE ] i think ull find theyre much more than just clothes 💋 [ TXT → LUKE ] hint: u bought me sum last wk ;))))))))))))))
SHE LISTENS , attentive. flesh on the inner of her bottom lip is held between her teeth as he explains. a god ? not , THE god ? the one true god. though one word sticks out. ‘ CAMP ? ’
❛ CAMP, ❜ he repeats with a nod. ❛ can’t tell you where it is, though —- classified information unless you’re also a demigod. ❜ not that mortals could ever accidentally stumble onto camp half blood, anyway.
‘ HOW MANY people are … like you , then ? ’ she’s probing , but a sugary sweet grin remains. her knees gently touch his , a calculated movement in itself.
a shrug. he’s aware of her movements, but focuses on answering her question. ❛ literally IMPOSSIBLE to say. there’s about one hundred at camp at any given time, but in the real world ? you’ve got kids, politicians, movie stars, chief executive officers, musicians —- all could be kids of a god. it’s not something that gives itself easily to a ballparkfigure. ❜
‘ WHAT’S THATsomethin’ , huh ? ’ she pokes and prods to find something identifiable with herself. unlikely. probably a trick. where’s the magnet ?
❛ i’m a demigod. ❜ flashback to age eleven, telling the same to the kids he made friends with on his nomadic tour of the us. easier times — kids are less cynical than teens, than adults. ❛ son of HERMES, god of travelers & thieves, whatever. so yeah, kinda magic. ❜
❝ — don’t talk to me . ❞ for someone who was on the verge of breaking down , it was fascinating how thalia managed to keep her bold , stern tone . it was almost devastating to snap at luke when he was barely able to stay on his feet ( after all , she wasn’t dumb . he was never this exhausted back in the day , not even after fighting a monster ) , but the demigoddess couldn’t pretend everything was fine . ❝ i’m here because a n n a b e t h didn’t deserve any of this , not because you asked me to . i don’t know you anymore , && i don’t want to . ❞ // @mercurialhero
had he known this was going to be difficult — overthrowing olympus ? getting the gods to PAY ATTENTION to those they’d taken granted for millennia ? YES. yes, luke had know it would be difficult. but he hadn’t expected this ; hadn’t expected thalia’s UNAMENABLE nature. but he should have. thalia was always good at being terse, at saying what she thought ( which was why those cheek kisses when he was fourteen made him feel so giddy ). but he’d be so concerned with seeing her again —- ! her electric blue gaze grabs his own tired cerulean one, & he almost swears he can see the sparks within. he’s so tired. he used to have boundless energy, but these days he feels like he’s being leeched of his energy ( HE IS ) by some parasitic creature waiting to take over its host ( IT IS ). she mentions annabeth’s name & if he were not him, he’d wince. ANNABETH. she’s his family, too. luke, thalia, & annabeth. once upon a time it was THEM VS THE WORLD. but that was a long time ago. things change. cities rise, regimes fall. SACRIFICES HAVE TO BE MADE. ❛ at least you came. ❜ it was more than the chase girl had done, & it gives luke the strength to overlook thalia’s last sentence. she came —- at least he got one wish fulfilled.

icons & graphics all mine.
003: INTERACTIONS
this is a selective & private blog, meaning i interact with mutuals only. this is because this blog is low-priority, & i only want to rp with people i know want to rp with me. however i am not obligated to follow everyone back, & reason for me not doing so are usually : not cutting posts/rp'ing through reblogged asks/no knowledge of your character's fandom. but never be shy to hit me up or like a starter call or send in a meme or reply to an open if we're mutuals!004: TRIGGERS
my own triggers are self harm and i have it blacklisted. i am okay with it in the written form, but i get triggered very easily with it in the photographic form. i will always tag triggers such as blood, gore, etc as ‘____ tw’. if you have a specific trigger, let me know so i can tag it accordingly.
005: SHIPS
i play luke as panromantic pansexual & i ship him romantically with pretty much everyone aside from annabeth ( & even then i ship them occasionally ), & thaluke is my otp. however i will not automatically ship him with every incarnation of those characters that come my way - so if you don't ship them, don't worry! i am also an absolute s u c k e r for platonic relationships, so hmu!!!006: REPLIES
i am slow!! please understand this! i have multiple blogs, a job, & am currently studying a masters at university. a lot of the time even if i am online, my muse doesn't want to co-operate. please do not push me for replies ; please also note that it may take a long time for me to respond to threads or memes.
007: MEMES
send memes absolutely whenever!! they can be super old ; just send them! sometimes, however, i lose muse for a meme & may not respond to it - this doesn't mean i'm ignoring you! just send another meme ; send all the memes!! also, feel free to respond to any of the memes ; all i ask is that you start the response in a new post!008: PLOTS
don't hesitate to message me if you have a plot of any kind! especially aus - i'm always down for aus.
009: DISCLAIMER
i have no affiliation with jake abel or rick riordan. as of march 15, 2017, the theme, dash icon, header, & icon psd are all courtesy of bria ( @maryjne ) because she's too good to me. any other graphics are mine unless otherwise stated.
luke never acted on his thoughts of betrayal ; the five-year-long battle between he, his friends, & the deities never happened ... but kronos did. luke is balancing his life at camp half blood with the outside force that is the titan kronos. secretly, luke is tormented, fighting his own battle, & has been for years. but he hasn't given in ; not yet. he's family to think about.
luke died when he stabbed himself that fateful day, but so too did everyone's hatred of him. the gods made peace with their demigod children, & new cabins were built at camp half blood. everything was fine - until luke appeared again. a bargain made between hermes & hades, luke was given another shot at life ; at redemption. he knows the trouble he's caused ; knows nothing will be the same, & he's plagued endlessly with the guilt of all the deaths he's caused. but he's trying. he's trying to be the person that annabeth always knew he was.
luke's final act was kronos' undoing, but it wasn't his. the demigod didn't die but instead merely banished kronos back to the depths of tartarus from which he came. luke spent a long while trying to piece together the damage he had caused ( a lot of which he couldn't remember )& eventually he was allowed back in camp as though nothing had happened - something he's grateful for. he's back to being his old self: hurting still, of course, but no longer as angry as he used to be. he's luke ; camper, counselor ( the stolls were happy to give him back his role )& forgiven traitor.
follows the sea of monsters, the the titan's curse&the battle of the labyrinth. shows luke's slow descent into absolute possession, as well as all the internal thoughts riordan never showed.
hows luke's life from his immediate arrival at camp, to just before percy's own arrival. deals with luke's feelings of neglect, & how kronos preyed on that.
brought back purely for help during percy's disappearance, luke not only has to gain everyone's trust once more, but he also has to show his worth, & see the calamity that a war can bring on - even one that happens between two opposing camps of demigods. he is firmly camp half blood, but will he be accepting of those from camp jupiter, or will he be prejudiced?
luke is a sixth-year slytherin ; not a pureblood, but he's so charming that people tend to forget how he is the product of a pureblood male consorting with a destitue & mentally unstable muggle woman.& it is very much something luke doesn't want people to remember. he doesn't want others knowing that his father left at the first possible moment ; doesn't want anyone drawing parallels between him & another not-so-pure slytherin. he's both keeper & captain of the quidditch team, & highly skilled at it. if all goes well, he could turn professional after hogwarts.
luke isn't the first troubled teen xavier's school has taken in, & he certainly won't be the last. with powers that allow him to speak any language at all, & to open any locked device, he spends a lot of his times eavesdropping & causing mischief where possible. but he is still susceptible to magento's ideology, & when left alone with his thoughts, tends to find himself wondering about who he really believes in ; who is right. can mutants & humans really live side-by-side, or is it time for the mutants to stand up & have their time in the light?
EYE COLOUR. sapphire blue. HAIR COLOUR. sandy blond. HEIGHT. 6'1" exactly. TATTOOS + PIERCINGS. none. NOTABLE TRAITS. ugly scar on the right side of his face, white streak in his hair (verse-dependent), disdain for his father, occasional thousand-yard stare, skilled in combat - particularly with a sword, very charming, lithe, agile, & well-built.
phobias & disorders
PHOBIAS. being forgotten ; not being loved. DISORDERS. insomnia ; ptsd; adhd; dyslexia. WHEN WAS THIS DIAGNOSED. never officially.
stats
MBTI: ENFJ - The Protagonist. ENFJs are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, ENFJs take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community. ENNEAGRAM: TYPE 8 - THE CHALLENGER, with 7 wing, THE ENTHUSIAST. sexual variant. Eights are essentially unwilling to be controlled, either by others or by their circumstances; they fully intend to be masters of their fate. Eights are strong willed, decisive, practical, tough minded and energetic. They also tend to be domineering; their unwillingness to be controlled by others frequently manifests in the need to control others instead. MORAL ALIGNMENT: TRUE NEUTRAL. True neutral characters are concerned with their own well-being and that of the group or organization which aids them. They may behave in a good manner to those that they consider friends and allies, but will only act maliciously against those who have tried to injure them in some way. For the rest, they do not care. They do not wish ill on those they do not know, but they also do not care when they hear of evil befalling them. Better for others to suffer the evil than the true neutral and his allies. If an ally is in need, the true neutral will aid him, out of genuine love or because he may be able to count on that ally a little more in the future. If someone else is in need, they will weigh the options of the potential rewards and dangers associated with the act. If an enemy is in need, they will ignore him or take advantage of his misfortune.
