Trump voters on tiktok are EXTREMELY mad about the following:

They just found out what tariffs are

They just found out what denaturalization is

They (particularly black and Hispanic trump voters) just found out that other trump voters are racist

Leftists and liberals don't want to be their friends (they are furious about this)

Leftists keep telling them they hope they get what they voted for (they are really mad about this too)

I've read this line before actually getting it in my game but it's still so insane to hear/see for oneself like. Just how little Melinoe cares for them I mean. It's straight up bigotry, and frankly I'm not surprised at all that Melinoe thinks this of them.

Think about it. Melinoe is a child soldier raised to kill Chronos. Failure is not an option, the titan has to die, or otherwise what purpose does she have? We see how intertwine this view of herself is with her purpose in her Book of Shadows entry - she blames herself for the fall of the House

In her Mind, Melinoe has to "redeem" herself, prove her worth to exist. So she cannot fail. And most importantly, she cannot be weak.

To a god, mortals are insignificant. They live short lives full of survival. They fear death and what comes after, so they cannot live to fulfill a purpose or cause as it could mean their death. So they avoid that. To Melinoe who whole life for a purpose, that is weak of character, and also lacking sense. And any that do have influence, it is short lived, and usually forgotten, their influence ends there. What is life, if not to live for a cause of sorts? For a singular purpose? That is alien to Melinoe, whose whole life she has lived in the company of gods and shades during a war whose stakes go as high as to threaten the very nature of godhood itself.

So when she sees someone who sides with Chronos, Chronos who represents the "Golden Age" for mortals, she sees a traitor. This is antithetical to her purpose, her existence. Melinoe groups people into two kinds: those who fight for Chronos's demise, and those who wish to help him succeed. She cannot entertain the nuance of the side that wishes to see him succeed - cause that means her purpose - to right the wrong to her family and the error of her existence - will be for nothing. They are wrong, the mortals who support him are wrong. And they are weak. For supporting survival over the Cause of defeating Chronos. Why do they fear death? When being a shade means no longer worrying for death and can thus work to defeat Chronos cause the lack of fear for it? Hearing Nemesis or Prometheus out - that would mean that what she's been raised for her whole life: that is wrong. And if that is wrong, that defeating Chronos is wrong, then what is she good for?

Here's a List Of Fan Theories That Are Circling Around Overthrowing Zeus

Note: this post leads towads a Fanfiction zone rather than actual Greek Mythology, so please acknowledge the fact that it was written purely for the sake of entertainment and "What if?".

1. Athena Would Overthrow Zeus One Day

The prophecy just stated that the child of Zeus and Metis would overthrow Zeus. Everyone just assumed this would only apply if it were a guy; because of cultural perceptions. A woman be the King of the Gods? As if.

Considering the fact Gaia already had a grudge against all generations of gods and each time used someone to kill the ruler she didn't like (she gave birth to Cronus to castrate Ouranos and raised Zeus against his father), it's not much of a stretch she motivated Athena to end with Zeus rule. This time, Gaia would probably be satisfied, as Athena seems fair compared to her precursors. Its just a matter of which gods will be killed and which ones will join her.

There's just one single problem here: what are you supposed to "cut off" then? Both Ouranos and Cronus lost their manhoods. In her case the closest thing to a penis that you could cut is the clit. Or maybe just her breasts. Idk man...

2. Zeus WAS Overthrown

In some versions, it's specifically stated that Metis would have -two- children, the second of which would be the one to overthrow him. Thus, Zeus is considered to have defied fate by virtue of only producing one child from the relationship, regardless of who it was.

Except that, a second child *did* follow Athena, one who took after his mother's namesake, and who resembled and admired, but ultimately deposed not only Zeus, but the entire Greek pantheon... named Rome.

3. Ares overthrew Zeus, with Athena and/or Hephaestus' help

Depending on the myth, Hephaestus may not have a father. Father-son competition and the prophecy would prevent Athena from overthrowing Zeus. This leaves Ares, however he wasn't the brains behind the operation. Athena wanted the position of Top God, but because of Greek opinion couldn't directly become one. Hepaestus wanted to get back at his Karma Houdini of a father. They teamed up to train Ares to assasinate his father, which Athena planned to use as a puppet ruler. Mars is the chief god of Rome because its Ares, who has ascended to that role. Athena is either subtly manipulating Ares/Mars, or Ares/Mars got smart and removed her. His Papa Bear tendencies is him being prepared to prevent what happened to his male ancestry happening to him again.

4. Hephaestus overthrew Zeus and is slowly ushering in a golden age

Related to the previous theory: Hephaestus overthrew Zeus with Athena providing strategy and Ares/Mars and the The Roman Empire being the front cover of the coup. With him now on the throne he pays Ares back by letting him and the Romans conquer the world while spreading technology and science to the world. Now in the modern world he and Athena have brought western civilization to maturity while also rapidly improving technology and meanwhile Ares has benefited by causing two world wars and receiving upgrades to his weapons (thermonuclear weapons and the like).

5. Hades really is planning to take over Zeus's throne, but for benevolent reasons

He became King of the Underworld to both get some time away from the rest of the gods, and to have a good hidden base to plan in secrecy. (His Helm of Darkness is handy too.)

Building on this interpretation, Hades generally leaves mortals alone because he wants to avoid bad publicity with them, so one day when they get tired of the rest of the jerkass gods of the pantheon, Hades will suddenly be much more beloved and be in a good position to take over. He's building an army in the Underworld in secret from all the souls of the dead who come into his domain, hence why he is so harsh on anyone who dares try to cheat death or bring someone back from the dead, thus depriving him of new recruits.

He kidnapped Persephone in order to have an accomplice with which to plan, and a way of ensuring her mother Demeter's loyalty when the time comes to actually move against their brother, which is why he is so protective of her; in addition to being his wife, she also knows a lot of crucial information about his scheme and is too valuable in influencing Demeter to lose.

6. Combining the above theories, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus and Hades teamed up to overthrow Zeus

Also Hera, Apollo and Poseidon. They already tried to overthrow him once along with Athena, for different reasons. Hera could no longer stand her husband's infidelities. Apollo joined in after Zeus killed Asclepcius. Poseidon could no longer stand being #2. Athena had to play being a daddy's girl after he ate her mother and she spend most of her childhood in his stomach (her mother is still there, by the way).

i wasn't really a greek mythology kid when i was young. however i was obsessed with exactly one goddess and her name is eris and i'm very pleased to report supergiant games engineered her specifically for me. something is very wrong with her <3

...still Athena stayed silent, though her father's words filled her with fury. but Hera could not not contain her anger, and she said to him: "dreaded son of Cronos, what are you saying? do you wish to render my work worthless?...

i just love how whenever Hera's mad at Zeus she just calls him 'son of Kronos' like reminding him who their father was and a subtle way of dropping a lil 'like father, like son'
