* HeroicBSOD: After Mr. D's speech about why [[YouCantChangeTheFuture changing the future will only make things worse for everyone even if it does work]], Eve enters one of these states and is unable to fall asleep. Eventually, she reaffirms her confidence in her ability to save the lives of the other campers by deciding that she can't focus on the what ifs and should only focus on what will happen if she doesn't do anything (while also planning things out carefully to avoid any bad effects).

*AccidentalMisnaming: True to canon, Mr. D still refuses to call anyone by their actual name. And when he ''does,'' you know he's serious as a heart attack.
**He calls Beckendorf, Chuck Benzenburg.
**He calls Eve, Evana Chance (which is hilariously close to her actual name).



*ActuallyPrettyFunny: Once Eve stops laughing at his unfortunate win from the Minotaur, Beckendorf admits that yes, it was actually a little funny.

*BiTheWay: Eve ends up crushing on Will Solace. Since she's a guy in a girl's body, this makes her bisexual considering she still is attracted to girls as well.
*ChickMagnet: Unwillingly, Will Solace. He moans about how all his life, girls have always been attracted to him, and he doesn't even ''like'' girls.
*CosmicPlaything: In the opening paragraph of chapter 9, Percy says that it's as though the universe has some sort of grudge against him. And considering the plot of ''The Lightning Thief''... yeah, this is kind of true.
*CrashIntoHello: Eve accidentally does this to Beckendorf in chapter 8, bringing them both to the ground.



*EvenTheGuysWantHim: Will Solace.
--> '''Michael Yew:''' ''(to Eve)'' Ah, I see you've found the reason why we call Will the Wife-Stealer. Although he's really the Husband-Stealer, too.
*EvilLaugh: Done by Kronos at the end of chapter 8.
* EyeTwitch: Athena gets one after hearing Ares denounce all plans as being stupid.



*FatalFlaw: In chapter 7, Mr. D tells Eve that her fatal flaw is trying to change the world for what she perceives as being better.



* ForWantOfANail: Eve punching Nancy drew Mrs. Dodds's anger towards her instead of Percy, causing ''her'' to get in trouble and attacked in the museum. This also means that Percy does not realize the supposed Math teacher is a monster.

**Since he technically didn't do anything wrong, Percy never got in trouble for the incident at Yancy. In fact, Nancy ended up getting scared and never talking to him again after Eve punched her, taking a lot more stress off of his shoulders. This caused him to not get too stressed to study and to not overhear Chiron and Grover talking about him, and even made him do better on his end-of-the-year exams. Eve punching Nancy for him allowed Yancy to say they'd accept him back for another year.

*OOCIsSeriousBusiness: One of the things that makes Eve realize how serious Mr. D is about his speech in chapter 7 is that he actually calls her by her real name; and not just her girl name, either, but her original, ''male'' name.



*SoBeautifulItsACurse: Lee Fletcher jokingly says this applies to Will sometimes.



*TemptingFate: In chapter 9, Percy states that he'll go looking for trouble when pigs fly. Later in the chapter, the [[spoiler:Crommyonian Sow sent by Kronos attacks Sally, leading to Hades either inadvertently or purposefully rescuing her by capturing her as in canon]].



*TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Eve describes the sight of Camp Half-Blood coming up across the other side of the hill as being able to wipe away the awkward sadness she and Beckendorf fell into upon seeing Thalia's tree.

Added DiffLines:

*AcidTripDimension: The tunnel through which Evan first falls into the world of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' is described as confusion, color, and contrast.


Added DiffLines:

*AndIMustScream: Upon discovering that she is a girl now instead of a guy, Eve's first reaction (and several subsequent reactions after that) is to scream very loudly.
*BadLiar: Percy tells Eve she is this.
*BackhandedApology: Said by one of Nancy's bully group members to Grover after he and Percy get them to leave Eve alone.
*BaitAndSwitch: In the beginning of chapter two, Eve tells Nancy she's done screaming. Then she immediately screams for the ''real'' last time.
*DeathGlare: Apollo earns himself one when he calls Athena stunning. He shrugs it off, however.
*DifferentForGirls: Eve spends an hour trying to figure out how to go to pee using her new body.


Added DiffLines:

*DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When Eve's mood about the realization of being in Percy Jackson is lowering until her thoughts get cut off by switching to another question, it leaves us with an "accidental," rather suggestive phrase: ''Percy Jacks''.
*EnvironmentalSymbolism: The Greek gods' council when they decide her fate starts on the morning of the Winter Council, symbolising the closing of one chapter of her life and the start of another. It is also symbolising the end of her time as a male and the beginning of her time as a female.
*EurekaMoment: Eve realizes she is a self-insert upon thinking about the mysterious circumstances that brought her into a girl's dorm room in New York City during 2005, and by connecting that to her love of writing fanfiction.
*FakeMemories: Everyone in Yancy gets these of Eve upon her arrival due to the Mist messing with the normies' minds. Only Grover, Chiron, and Mrs. Dodds don't get affected by the Mist's manipulations, thanks to them being aware of the godly world.
*FirstLawOfGenderBending: Since the only way Artemis and Hera would accept taking Evan into their world would be if he was a girl, it is very unlikely that Eve will ever become a guy again.
*ForWantOfANail: Eve punching Nancy drew Mrs. Dodds's anger towards her instead of Percy, causing ''her'' to get in trouble and attacked in the museum. This also means that Percy does not realize the supposed Math teacher is a monster.


Added DiffLines:

*GenreSavvy: Eve has read all of the ''Percy Jackson'' books to date. Furthermore, she's written enough fanfiction before this fiasco to recognize that she's likely in a self-insert.
*GutFeeling: Apollo states that he has a hunch Hypnos's dream about Evan might be the way forward.
*EyeTwitch: Athena gets one after hearing Ares denounce all plans as being stupid.
*HumansAreBastards: The first time she really gets mad at Nancy/Nancy's friends, Eve manages to calm herself down by telling herself that ''all'' people are jerks.
*IComeInPeace: Eve's first words to Nancy are, "Hello, Earthling. Are you Russian?"


Added DiffLines:

*ItsProbablyNothing: Even though Eve catches the vague figure of something huge and furry with horns, she desperately refuses to believe it's not the Minotaur, and instead a really huge bison or something. (It's the Minotaur.)
*JawDrop: Eve gets one at just how much of a jerkass Nancy is.


Added DiffLines:

*MostAnnoyingSound: Eve gets woken up by a fog horn to the ears, courtesy of Nancy, in chapter 3.


Added DiffLines:

*OhCrap:
**Eve gets one when she realizes her first class with Mrs. Dodds could involve Eve being late, thanks to Nancy waking her up a mere ten minutes before the bell.
**Beckendorf gets one when he sees the Minotaur for the first time.


Added DiffLines:

*RuleOfThree: Used at the end of Chapter 5 for Eve's, Beckendorf's, and the taxi cab driver's exclamations after the appearance of the Minotaur.
--> '''Eve''': Meep!
--> '''Beckendorf''': Oh, Hades.
--> '''The driver''': GODDAMNED TRAFFIC!
*SanitySlippage: Nancy apparently texted her friends that Eve's sanity finally snapped, due to the excessive amount of screaming she did for seemingly no reason (to an outsider's point of view).
*SelfInsertFic: Eve is a [[GenderBender gender-bended]] version of the author, Evan.
*SuggestiveCollision: When the door to the room Eve ends up in during chapter 1 opens, and she accidentally knocks into the person coming in and gets her vision blocked, she desperately hopes it's not this cliche.
*TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Eve states that going to the bathroom as a girl is one of these things.
*TimeTravel: The Book 4-ish gods manage to not only pull Evan across dimensions and turn him into Eve, but also send him to the beginning of Book 1.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12617081/1/GG-Kronos-But-I-Have-Foresight GG, Kronos, But I Have Foresight]]'' is a ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' [[SelfInsertFic self-insert]] FanFiction written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4789136/TheRealEvanSG TheRealEvanSG]].

All of the Greek gods are pretty much JerkassGods with their own agendas, Percy is a ridiculously sassy little kid, and Evan Gamble is just a punk-ass, possibly bisexual otaku making butterflies so big that they create fucking tornadoes. Oh, and he also appears to have been turned into a girl for some largely unknown reason. Screw this, ''she's'' not taking it! Kronos is getting ''so'' many blue plastic hairbrushes to the face. That's if she can survive all of the Greek monsters, butterflies, and secret plots, however.

The story can be found on ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12617081/1/GG-Kronos-But-I-Have-Foresight FFN]]'', ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/gg-kronos-but-i-have-foresight-pjo-self-insert.557629/ Spacebattles]]'', and ''[[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/gg-kronos-but-i-have-foresight-pjo-self-insert.40968/ Sufficient Velocity]]''.

----
!Tropes contained in ''GG, Kronos, But I Have Foresight'':

*ActionGirl: Eve puts herself in place of Percy to fight Mrs. Dodds in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.
*DistantPrologue: The time that the Greek gods seem to be discussing whether to gain help from Evan or not seems to be around the beginning or end of Book 4. The first chapter begins a day before the events of Book 1, however.
*GenderBender: Eve was originally a boy named Evan. However, when the Greek gods and goddesses were discussing what to do about her in the prologue (or chapter 1, if you read it on fanfiction.net), Artemis and Hera decided that they couldn't accept a boy to do a job a girl could do just as easily. Aphrodite suggested swapping Evan's gender to satiate them.
*ImpaledPalm: Thanks to her inexperience, Eve completely fails to catch Riptide when Chiron throws it at her in chapter 4, and it impales her through her hand. Since she's a human, though, the Celestial Bronze doesn't hurt her, so it's just stuck in her hand with everyone hilariously jaw dropping at it.
*MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Of the four people witnessing, Percy is the only one freaking out about the sword stuck in Eve's hand. Granted, this is merely lampshaded since she's not actually injured thanks to it being made of Celestial Bronze, but it's still funny.
*{{Mediator}}: Poseidon acts as this for his two Big Three brothers in the prologue, when Hades gets angry at Zeus.
*MuggleBestFriend: For Percy and co., Eve is this. She's just a normal human, the only things special about her being the fact that she's from another world, has future knowledge, and can see through the Mist.
*Pun: Grover unknowingly makes one about Mrs. Dodds, calling her furious; the joke being that she is actually a Fury.
**Chapter 3's title is "I Have Fury," a play on both the fact that Eve gets angry at Nancy and that it's Mrs. Dodds's first appearance.
*TrueSight: Eve has the ability to see through the Mist despite being a normal mortal.
*WouldHitAGirl: Eve punches Nancy in chapter 3.
