#Dionysus and Apollo are half brothers not twins (i believe they are said to be close tho)

[bugwolfsstuff]

my art teacher keeps mentioning mythology which I would usually love except he is always wrong. sir. apollo and dionysus are not twins. dionysus is not god of the moon. athena is not aphrodite. this needs to stop 💀💀

Mate, no offence but I already dont like your art teacher

Like....where did he get his info from? Lore Olympus?

Actually i hate to say it but even Rachel Smythe isnt that inaccurate. She knows....a bit more.

Please ask him where he gets his information from for me lmao

Demigod MC Series: Hestia

This is another eternally virgin goddess, so we're doing another pseudo-demigod by adoption (like we did with Athena).

Demigod MC: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon, Ares, Hestia

Hestia is the goddess of the Hearth, Home, Architecture, Domesticity, Family, and the State. She's high up there (firstborn of Rhea and Cronus), but several factors have led to her falling into the background when compared to the other (flashier) Olympians. She swore to never marry, rejecting proposals from both Poseidon and Apollo, and is something of an antithesis to Aphrodite.

Lucifer

Honestly? He thought they were exactly what they were after. A weak human with no experience in the magical world what-so-ever.

Well… He was half-right.

On the surface, this is a pretty weak human. They don't have super flashy powers or a divine birth from the gods… but they do have a very protective adoptive mother.

The brothers had just settled in for their first dinner with the new human when the goddess herself strolled into their dining room, asked who was in charge, then dragged Lucifer away by the ear!

She's not even his mother, yet he felt the intense urge to apologize and put himself in his own room… Oh, the humiliation… at least she did the same to Diavolo…

The Prince was only able to calm her down by promising absolutely NO harm would come to her child… on their heads...

By the time the goddess finally let him go, Lucifer was about ready to shackle the MC to his wrist so nothing could touch them but he settled on keeping them with him like an assistant of sorts. They were in charge of helping him with the paperwork so he could keep an eye on them. 

What he didn’t expect was for them to be so… good at it? They could keep his offices clean, they managed his daily schedule, fixed up the House, and still have time to bring him tea and sweets every night!

They could even reign in his brothers somehow… They weren't strong or intimidating, but one or two mildly unhappy words out of them and everybody would be on their best behavior.

Was everyone positive they're only human...?

As much as he hated to admit, he may have a slight deep case of falling for the housekeeper… He would make a move, but well…

He has Beel to contend with first.

Mammon

Okay so, watching Lucifer get dragged out by the ear just like Raphael used to do to him was hilarious!!! The whole room got a good laugh! 🤣

Until Hestia glared at them and suddenly they all felt like they'd disappointed someone important….

And all that fuss over some dumb human??

So what if they made amazing food?

So what if they could clean the entire mansion in a day?

So what if they were the walking equivalent to a warm cup of cocoa on a winter's day??

So what if they were just the kindest, sweetest thing in this godforsaken hellscape and he would throw himself in front of a bus to keep them safe-

-Wait, when did that happen?!?

Seriously, Mammon's attachment to the MC came out of NOWHERE to him. One day, he was threatening to eat their soul and the next he's freaking out when they stub their toe!

He swears they have to have some kind of magic about them! A charm, or a spell, or… their lovable smile and warm, loving hugs...! 😊

Damnit!! They're too cute!! He needs them to go away but also never leave, thanks. 😒

In all seriousness, though their kind nature puts Mammon's tsundere self at a bit of a disadvantage, his protective instincts shoot through the roof whenever they're involved.

Naturally, that means his day is spent running them away from hungry lesser demons or shielding them from Beel and Lucifer's tug-of-war matches… He's a busy guy these days. 😖

Leviathan 

They're so… so… MOE!!!

That was his immediate thought when Mammon brought them home. He was expecting a defenseless human, but not one that could have stepped out of one of his slice-of-life manga!

To be honest, his instant thought was try and find a place to sit them on his shelves with the rest of the adorable characters he loves… 😅

And that was before they even opened their mouth! Five words into their introduction and he was ready to get their face on a t-shirt!!

Honestly, combine their natural cuteness with their household skills and they made for perfect waifu/husbando material… 

Not helped by the fact they found one of his maid/butler outfits while doing the laundry one day. Not only did they ask if they could wear it, they actually non-ironically liked it and started wearing it around the House!!

Oh he got cornered by Beel, Lucifer, and Mammon separately that day because they thought he was using them for fetish fuel… But it was their idea, he swears!!

I mean… He didn't discourage them or anything either but still…

If Beel hadn't claimed them on Day One, Levi might have eventually thrown his hat in the ring too... Oh well… he can pine from a distance… What else is new? ��

Satan

He has a video of Hestia dragging Lucifer out of the dining room on his phone and it's one of his most treasured possessions now. 😌

He is perhaps the only person in the House who was not at all impressed with their little human.

So they could cook? So could he. So they can clean? That's not impressive. They could manage a household? Big deal, he's more or less been in charge of the same thing for centuries!

As far as he saw it, there was nothing the MC could do that he couldn't do as proficiently or even better. There was nothing remarkable about this human at all!

… except for one thing.

That maid/butler outfit of Levi's? The one they like to wear around?

It has cat accessories…

Either they don't notice or they don't mind it but they essentially walk around the House cleaning things with little kitty ears attached to their head and a bell on their collar…

Dammit… Why did Levi even buy that?!?

Satan ended up getting in trouble for enchanting their outfit to give them REAL ears and a tail "accidentally..." Lucifer strung him up by his toes, Beel gave him a black-eye, and Mammon still calls him a "perverted cat freak" but it was worth it, he says, worth it!!

Asmodeus 

Oh Beel…

Asmo saw Beel's feelings for the MC coming from a mile away. He didn't even need to confirm it with a sniff check, he had them scented by the end of their first night!

Lucifer, on the other hand, now that was a surprise... 😏

Ask him a century ago if Lucifer would ever consider a human lover, godly mother or no, and he'd have laughed! Yet here he is, giving gifts and sneaking whiffs of their adorable new housemate!

Of course, that's causing some commotion because they're pitted against each other, but Asmo finds it kind of cute honestly. 

Beel and Lucifer aren't fighting, not for real. The whole house knows Lucifer would win in a real brawl, but neither of them actually want to hurt the other… They're far too close for that.

So Beel tosses Lucifer around with kid gloves and Lucifer holds back considerably against Beel. It's pretty much just two brothers who love each other squabbling over the same toy… 🤭

Honestly, Lucifer might have bowed out by now and just let Beel have them but now his pride's on the line… thus an endless tussle between family and the sweet MC is in the middle, clueless to it all!

Tragic, is it not? But it certainly makes things more entertaining around here! (Good thing too since Beel beat him to the punch… If it's a fight against those two, he'll have to keep any of his own affairs with the MC under the radar... 😏)

Beelzebub 

He has claimed this one. Full stop.

For a bit of perspective: when Barbatos needs cooking tips, he calls Hestia. Hestia, the Divine Master of All Things Cooking. Hestia, the goddess who raised this MC… 

Needless to say if they have any magic at all, it's in the kitchen.

If food is the way to Beel's heart, this MC has claimed his heart, soul, and probably all of his vital organs. Their food is astounding!! Always perfect every time and so good it brings him to tears!

It started the night of that first dinner, prepared by MC. He was too busy scarfing down the table to even notice a goddess showed up and then he proposed to the MC with their own pig roast by meal's end!

They said no to marriage, but an instant pact agreement suited him just fine.

Beel didn't waste a single moment before he started treating them like a potential mate, territorial aggression and all, but there was a bit of a catch… He kept the MC totally oblivious to it.

Surprisingly, Beel's can turn the "They're MINE" part of his brain on and off pretty well. He's nothing but sweet and cuddly to the MC when they're around and even with his brothers!... as long as they don't try anything.

The moment he caught whiff that Lucifer might be pursuing them too, it was on. Suddenly the two brothers who almost never fight were in competition against each other! But of course, both have an unspoken rule to never do so in front of MC.

And now poor MC believes it's common for demons to "play wrestle" like puppies and hugs are traditionally supposed to be so hard they could snap spines… 

And it doesn’t look like they'll be backing down any time soon… Oh dear...

Belphegor 

You know what? For once, everything goes exactly to plan for Belphie!

No really, this MC has no hidden powers, no magic horses, not even Demon Nip. They are a helpless, trusting little human who just wants to help their big teddy bear get his twin back!

So, you know how it goes. The charm, the lies, the treachery and all of that. He even gets to kill them!! Oh, happy days!! 😁

Come to think of it, they did smell an awful lot like Beel… But who cares, as long as Lucifer suffers right?? And this whole "living together in harmony" crap fails, right?!

Wrong. 

Beel went ballistic. Lucifer did too, but Beel was what really hurt…

Belphie can safely say that in all of his life, Beel has never physically attacked him. Not once, or at least, not with intent to kill… 

But when the sixthborn's fist went crashing through the wall right by his ear that day, he knew his brother's first instinct was to aim for his head… and his second was to miss, as he still loved him, but only by just a little.

What the hell did he just do??

Thank their father for Barbatos and all the funky time stuff he can do because bringing the MC "back" snapped his angry brothers right out of it. 

Things should have been smoothed over at that point but as everyone was finally settling down for tea, Hestia made another appearance in the House… this time carrying a butcher's knife!

Time fix or no, Diavolo had promised her no harm would come to MC and at least one continuity of them DIED… so punishment was now on Lucifer and the Demon Prince himself!

Belphie, in a rare case of guilt and an expression of brotherly love, offered to take their place since it WAS kind of all his fault. His gesture softened the Goddess of Family juuust enough to lighten his sentence from execution to hard labor.

And thus, the MC had their own housekeeping assistant for a whole year, complete with bitter reluctance and a matching maid outfit! Cat-theme and all!!

He's sending nightmares to anybody who laughs… guaranteed. 😒

real gods require blood

All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood. - Zora Neale Hurston

- zeus inspo - hera inspo - poseidon inspo - demeter inspo - athena inspo - apollo inspo - artemis inspo - ares inspo - aphrodite inspo - hephaestus inspo - hermes inspo - hestia inspo - dionysus inspo - persephone inspo - hades inspo - modern gods inspo used in blurbs

first thing's first: everyone in this ad should be between the ages of 22 and 27 with the exception of persephone who should be 22 - 24 and demeter who should be 25 - 27. genderbending is okay with me as long as you run it by me first because i don't want to have a million girls, i want it to be fairly balanced. everything said below should be taken with a grain of salt meaning if you put your own spin on it that is totally fine, the inspo is what matters.

additionally, only one or two characters should be from chicago, because the group is a group of people who are imports to the city and the life they have here so please do with that idea what you will. i did link to some cool pinterest boards with some inspo for a modern take on all of the different gods if you want to look at those but again, it's just for inspiration, please please please make every single one of these guys your own.

now, for the actual ad, basically these guys are something of a found family. through their jobs, parties, socializing, exes, currents, whatever they all met and it was almost instant, that connection, that 'feels like i've known you my whole life' thing that came over them. and so they stuck together, even if it was just a group text or once a year dinner party, they've all stayed in touch ever since despite distance, work, time constraints, and anything else that came between them.

the first pair that met and really started it all were aphrodite and ares. they were on again off again, always a problem with time and where their lives were at, but the love is there. they've been friends since their time in school together and it never let up, that care. the rest of the group swear one day aphrodite will find a way to settle down and be with ares but for now ares deals with the on again off again because sometimes is better than never. and then aphrodite found god here, and another one, and their interconnections grew the group and now here they are, family without being blood, with ties running through them, cutting and caressing them all the same.

from there, feel free to just get with me and we can make it work. i'm going to be making a ship developer for them (including a timeline because it seems necessary so that we have some idea on who, what, when, and how) but the basis is a found family plot with interconnections that made this many people come to mean so much to one another. from there? go wild, get with me on any questions, and please have fun with it. some suggestions for interconnections are below in the applicable boxes but if you don't want to use them just talk to me.

and lastly... if you want to add a god who isn't listed please just let me know! give me a little blurb and we can make this happen. remember the slight dystopian feel and the modern twist but like... yes, please, let's do this, i'm here for it. thanks!!

[dreamyboystyles]

Ethereally Dazzling Part Two

This sets off a slight bell in his head. “Stones? What kind of stones?” he wonders.

“Oh you know like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, that kind of stuff” she smiles “Quite the parting gift am I right. I wish every man I hooked up with left me with gifts like that.” He doesn’t have time to process her joke as the topic of a man casually leaving stones like that ran through his mind. He knew humans they weren’t that generous, and he also knew Gods and right at this moment he could think of one particular uncle who had a history of gifting his mortal conquests.

or 

Harry is a God crashing Y/N’s Greek themed castle party.  

Part 1

Y/N was a firm believer in karma. She always knew that the universe would play everything out the way it was supposed to. What she couldn’t fathom at the moment was why the universe would let such an idiotic thing come out of her mouth. Mortified wouldn’t even begin to describe how she was feeling.

It takes a minute for her words to register in Apollo’s -or Harry’s- head before he lets out a full belly aching laugh. He knows what she meant, it’s true whenever a heavenly being was on Earth there was a certain glow that surrounded their bodies. Not exactly visible to the ordinary eye but he already knew there was something special about this girl.

“I’m sorry” she says wid-eyed. “I do-don’t know what came over me I-” she stutters not able to form a single sentence. She could feel her face burning and all she wanted to do was dump her body in the fountain to cool down. Harry’s laughter dies down and he coughs into his hand to hide the smirk he held.

“No no it’s alright, it’s the first time anybody has ever referred to me like that,” he smiles kindly at her to try and ease her embarrassment “Usually people will say cute or devilishly handsome” he teases nudging her softly.

She doesn’t know what’ll kill her first, her rapid heartbeat or his gorgeous eyes. Whichever it is, will probably be out of her control.

“What I meant to say is that you look like you’re glowing.” she says, “But that could possibly be the lights I was looking for a specific authentic look for the night.” she smiles looking at her fingers fidgeting with the gold bands on her wrist.

“Well I must say it’s a spectacular vision you’d almost think it was the real thing.” He looks around taking in the decorated garden and looking in towards the party that seemed to have no end anytime soon. “You’d think you were in the real place” he mumbles hoping she wouldn’t catch it.

“Oh really and how would you know what the real thing looks like?” she questions raising a brow at him.

“I mean I’m assuming, based on ancient photos and descriptions.” he shrugs. “So, Y/N what’s the special occasion for the night?” he asks.

“No occasion, it was just because” she laughs.

He looks at her suspiciously “I refuse to believe you threw something of this grandeur just because.”

She nods, “Fair enough, it wasn’t just because” she smiles mischievously at him.

“Right so what was the reasoning?” he probes again looking at her.

“I love history” she states shyly. Confusion falls on his face not exactly understanding what she means. She sees the look on his face and explains further, “I love history and fantasy and living through things I could only dream of.” she tells him.

“Okay so this is just one big fantasy?” he asks.

“Well sorta, I mean yeah if I can recreate my fantasies why wouldn’t I, but, it’s so much more than that.” she pauses a bit trying to formulate what she wants to say. “I’ve always known the universe had something spectacular waiting for me, something truly out of this world spectacular. These parties are sort of my way of I guess baiting the universe to finally cave in and give me my big thing” she rambles out dreamily. Harry sees the gleam come back in her eyes. He realizes it isn’t a gleam of mischief but a gleam of passion.

“Parties, you mean you’ve thrown more of these?” he asks eyes wide. She nods biting her lip sheepishly looking at the floor.

“I know it’s kinda crazy but I don’t know I feel like Gatsby throwing all those parties for Daisy you know?” she says looking at him. He honestly didn’t understand what she was talking about. He wasn’t sure if this Gatsby person was a mortal historical figure he should know about. She could probably see the confusion in his eyes because she proceeded to gape at him.

“Gatsby, like the novel The Great Gatsby?” she asks “You must know what it is, it’s a classic.” she exclaims. He looks away pretending to remember.

“Of course the novel, I totally forgot all about it.” he responds trying to cover his ignorance. “Been quite a while since I’ve had to think about it.” he chuckles.

Their conversation dies off and they both stare off at the fountain. Actually speaking it out makes Y/N realize how truly bored and unsatisfied she was with her life. She had all the means in the world to make her life worthwhile but something about it just wasn’t clicking. She didn’t know why she had confided all this on a party guest much less a stranger. Something about his comforting smile and faint glow to him was drawing her in closer and closer. She felt a homely comfort in him she hadn’t felt in a while.

“You know you remind me a lot of one of my um, one of my brothers” he struggles to find the proper term that would define Dionysus. She raises an eyebrow at him.

“Oh really, how so?” she smiles at him. She realizes all they’ve talked about is her and she knows nothing about this man except his name.

“He lives for parties and celebration,” he chuckles “You could say he’s the God of having a good time, or so he likes to call himself.” He smirks at the hidden meaning within his words.

She giggles, “Well I’m no Dionysus, but I’m sure I could give your brother a run for his money.”

His eyes widen seeming caught, “Wha-what, Dionysus who said anything about Dionysus” he tenses up. She looks back at him perplexed at his reaction.

“Well the God of wine and dance and all things chaos. You said you brother liked to call himself the God of having a good time…” she trails off feeling like an absolute geek.

He sees her change in reaction and reaches towards her. “Yes right I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you feel weird.” he tries to reassure her. The feeling of his hands on her arms warms her up and she can feel the rush rising to her face once again. She notices how closer he’s gotten to her and stares into the green irises staring back. She clears her throat pulling back from his intimidating look.

“Um do you have any other siblings?” she asks trying to change the conversation.

“I do, I have well, quite a few actually.” he smiles softly “I don’t have as frequent contact with most as much as I do with my twin sister.” Her eyes widen a little at this.

“Wow you have a twin sister?” she asks and he nods. “You’re so lucky that sounds like the best.” she exclaims a little too excited.

“I mean it’s whatever she can be a pain, the only reason I stumbled by your party was because I was settling some business for her” he sighs.

“Oh, well at least you have a twin, I’d rather be doing a siblings work than not have any at all.” she frowns.

“Do you not have any of your own?” he asks and she shakes her head.

“No growing up it was just my mom and me.” she shrugs tapping a finger against the cement bench they sat on.

“What about your dad?” he asks “If you don’t mind me asking.” she shakes her head once again.

“No not at all, um well in a nutshell I was kind of an accident” she laughs “My mom met my dad one quite frivolous night of too much wine and then came me.”

“Oh wow and he never contacted or anything?” he regrets the words as soon as they’re out of his mouth worried he might be overstepping. “I’m so sorry I don’t mean to get into your business”

“It’s fine, I’m not embarrassed or ashamed” she reassures him, “He didn’t leave any information to contact him with, just a few stones for my mom.”

This sets off a slight bell in his head. “Stones? What kind of stones?” he wonders.

“Oh you know like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, that kind of stuff” she smiles “Quite the parting gift am I right. I wish every man I hooked up with left me with gifts like that.” He doesn’t have time to process her joke as the topic of a man casually leaving stones like that ran through his mind. He knew humans they weren’t that generous, and he also knew Gods and right at this moment he could think of one particular uncle who had a history of gifting his mortal conquests.

“Did she tell you anything else about this man?” he asks with a new piqued interest all while avoiding her gaze and strangely focused on the grass in front of him.  

“Uh, not really no. Just that he was a tall, dark, broodingly handsome glass of wine.” she says.

He doesn’t want to make assumptions, but it would make a lot of sense. Why there seems to be a fire within her eyes and why she noticed the slight glow that followed him. Only half-bloods could really notice the glow. But this girl knew nothing about all of that and he sure wasn’t going to be the one to flip her world upside down. He sees she was right about the universe holding out something far more spectacular for her. Of course, her father was one of the most powerful beings out there.

He hears her speak up, “Why do you ask?” she says head tilting a bit.

“No reason at all just curious.” he gives her a tense smile. Things had suddenly shifted now that he’d made this discovery. And he sure as hell was not going to out himself and ruin their night by telling her that her birth father was the actual God of the Underworld.

[sleeping-is-for-the-weak-nerds]

AHHH, okay, so I thought of something not the norm, but hear me out, okay!?

So I have the summary and a few characters done, so I’ll put all of that down.

Summary

Thomas, Virgil, Roman, Logan, and Patton are fraternal quintuplets...or, at least, they thought they were. Until their mother told them that the only thing they shared was a birthday and herself. Turns out that they’re half brothers, with the exception of Logan and Thomas, the only true twins. Now, of course they couldn’t be mad at their mother, who was only trying to protect them, but they definitely could be mad at their absentee fathers. That is...until they realize that there was a very good reason why their fathers stayed away.

Main Characters

Logan

Godly parent is Apollo

He is unfortunately the middle child

Twin brother of Thomas (Younger)

Has the more medical side of Apollo’s powers

Eidetic memory

Healing powers (less like tangled, and more like *touch* leave, you’re fixed)

Archery skills out of the wazoo, though since he’s indoors most of the time, no one knows this.

Patton

Hermes kid

Oldest child

He’s more of the ‘traveler’s helper’ from Hermes’ bag o’ tricks, but honestly? He can give as good as he gets.

Can voice mimic anyone to a tee as soon as he hears it.

Basically has teleport powers, but that takes a lot out of him, so he doesn’t use it all that much.

Can pickpocket like a pro, which he uses to his advantage when he thinks his brothers are hiding something.

Roman

Dionysus

Second youngest

He’s not a huge part of the wine aspect of Dionysus, more like the party and theater aspect

He can talk to animals. No joke. To him, it’s always like if we were to learn a new language. Except for leopards and dolphins. Those he understands perfectly.

When he feels super strong emotions, vines grow from the ground. Nothing’s usually on them, except for one time, but he won’t talk about it, nor will his brothers.

Virgil

EROS, BABY!

Youngest

Oh, he’s so confused and a little pissed when he finds out his father, but he realizes that it explains quite a bit. Mostly of the fact that he’s basically a matchmaker, but like, a subtle one.

He can see everyone’s string of fate, even his own. And no, despite popular belief, strings are not just red, they actually have two separate colors, each representing the people in that fated relationship, that at first are clashing against each other, and the closer that person gets to their fated one, the more the colors blend.

He can’t shoot arrows. Not because he doesn’t know how (trust him, Thomas and Logan quickly made sure he, Patton, and Roman could safely shoot an arrow correctly and well) but because the minute his bare skin touches an arrow, it goes from being a regular arrow to being a love arrow. So, Virgil usually is wearing gloves if he absolutely has to touch an arrow.

Thomas

Apollo

Twin brother to Logan (Oldest)

Second oldest

He has the theatrics side of Apollo down pat

He has a mix of Patton’s voice mimicking and charmspeak, where, when he sings, it sounds like the person you’re wanting to hear.

Examples are if you wanted him to sing a Panic! at the Disco song, then all you’d hear is Brendon’s voice, if you wanted him to sing a Fall Out Boy song, you’d hear Patrick Stump’s voice, etc. Only his brothers have heard his real voice, when he’s writing original songs. They swear up and down that his normal singing voice is a  100 times better than anyone else singing.

He can’t play many intruments though. Though, neither can Logan.

He shares Logan’s eidetic memory and archery skills, so he can sight-read like a boss.

Remy

Okay, yeah, it’s Morpheus, but to be fair, this is the only stereotypical one, cut me some slack.

He’s got the sleeping powers, duh

If he concentrates, he can put people to sleep with a thought, and his range for this particular power is large--- like, 100 miles around at most.

He’s also able to show someone’s dreams, after he gets the okay from said person. Consent is not just for doing the do, kiddos.

STARBUCKS ADDICT, HONESTLY, THIS BOI

Dolos (take a guess, babes)

Hecate

He has the usual magic, but he’s also gained another power from Hecate’s field.

He can talk and bring forth ghosts.

The scales are a (for now) permanent side-effect from a botched spell.

Emile Picani

Demeter

He loves his mom, though he’s never really met her face-to-face. He has met his half sister Persephone, though. They have tea every Sunday in the Underworld. And no, I’m not kidding. Hades is very fond of him, and will personally punish anyone who hurts his precious flower brother.

He can grow plants anywhere at any time on a whim, even ones that don’t belong in the biome. They don’t die, either. (He has to want them to die, but he can’t do that.)

His favorites to grow are succulents, lavender, and ghost lilies.

Also, no matter when it is or what the weather is, he always walks around looking like he was just out on the perfect spring day. Smells and feels like it too.

Joan and Elliott

Aphrodite, though they kinda hated it for a while

Twin niblings, Joan then Elliot

In a fit of rebellion, the two played down their ethereal beauty by wearing what they wear today. They’ve since come to terms with their parent, but they still wear their signature looks because of comfort.

Both are still gorgeous, but will kick your butt if need be.

Both have a strong amount of charmspeak, and are thus immune to anyone else using charmspeak.

They both also have a  metamorphmagus gene that they use to change anything and everything about themselves if needed/wanted.

Talyn

You wouldn’t believe it unless you saw them in battle, but it’s Ares.

They have an insane amount of strength, legit rivaling Heracles if they’re mad enough.

Seriously, there was this kid who was harassing Elliott and Joan, and Talyn came over, hoisted the guys (who was like, 6′2″) over their shoulder, and took him away. No one has seen him since.

But Talyn didn’t kill him!

...Maybe...

They can also stop any fight/battle/war with a snap of their fingers, as long as they themself, are in said fight/battle/war.

Kai, my BOY

Athena

War tactic side mostly, though

He (they?) can look at a map or a situation and immediately can tell you a plan which will work, he’s never had a plan fail him yet.

He’s not stupid though, and knows that there will be a day.

Phenomenal at weaving

Doesn’t share the usual fear of spiders that the rest of Athena’s kids have.

Considered an actual Godssend by his half siblings.

I might add more people later on, but now, ONTO THE SHIPS!

Ships

Patceit

Remy x Roman

Virgil x ?? (thinking Picani????)

Elliott x Kai x Lauren (a mortal who can see through the Mist)

Thomas x ??

Joan x Talyn (this may change)

WHOO! That was a long one! Hopefully y’all don’t get bored halfway through. Send me messages if you have any ideas for ships, questions, and so on!

Peace out!

I want to kiss you

The first time Kayla saw Hazel, the latter was being praised for being one of the seven. She was gorgeous Kayla thought. Kayla, at the time, was helping Will out with the infirmary. Hazel looked like a princess in a t-shirt  and jeans. She had gotten yelled at for staring while other campers needed help. ❤❤❤❤ The first time Hazel saw Kayla it was during a game of capture the flag between the Romans and Greeks. Kayla was arguing with Annabeth's brother. Hazel snuck past them to get the Greek’s flag. She stopped and stared at the ginger girl after she had it and unfortunately Nico catch her. The Romans ended up losing the game. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla talked to Hazel for the first time in front of the camp fire. “Is this pretty different from Camp Jupiter?” Kayla asked. “Very much. It's more… fun.” Hazel smiled. A bit of marshmallow was on her lips. “Are Romans no fun?” Kayla raised her eyebrows. Gods was she flirting or was she sounding like an idiot. Probably both. “A lot of them have a stick up their ass.” Hazel chuckled. “And here I thought they were carefree and party animals.” “Some are, like Dakota. He's the guy who seems like he's drunk. He's not though. But other than Reyna and those in the fourth and fifth cohort, are a little uptight and full of themselves.” Kayla laughed. “Sounds like lovely people. How did you end up with them?” “Nico took me there after- uh some events. It's a long story.” Hazel looked over to where her brother was with Jason Grace. “I enjoy long stories and it isn't even time for the sing-a-long. I'm Kayla by the way.” Kayla said. “Hazel though you probably knew that already and my story is not really long, just strange and uh complicated.” Hazel frowned. “Oh. Alright, well then tell me what you like to do for fun?” “I like to draw and ride horses.” Hazel said. “You guys have horses?” “No. There's this really fast gold eating immortal horse named Arion that I can summon. Hylla, the queen of the Amazons and Reyna’s sister, says only the bravest female warrior can tame him. According to Percy he curses a lot.” Hazel smiled. “That's badass. Think you can give me a ride someday?” Kayla asked. Damn. That was impressive. “Sure.” Hazel said. “I can't wait.” Kayla smiled. “What things do you enjoy doing?” Hazel asked. “Archery mostly, my dad, my mortal dad took me to an archery range since I was a kid. I also like poetry and painting.” “Your mortal dad?” Hazel asked. “Apollo is my godly parent and well he decided to have a biology kid with a cisgender man. There's not a lot of demigods like me.” Kayla looked down at her hands. Before the Second Titian War she and the Dionysus twins, Pollux and Castor, were the only demigods of her kind that she knew of. Chiron told her that there were others before but it wasn't until more demigods started getting claimed did she finally believe him. Now there was seventeen demigods with same sex parents. “Oh. Okay. I never heard of a god or goddess having a child with a mortal of the same sex before.” Hazel said. “Well now you have.” Kayla said. “Kayla! We're about to start the sing-a-long, get your butt over here.” Her brother, Austin, yelled from where her siblings were sitting. “See ya around.” Kayla said as she left. “Yeah, I’ll see you around too.” Hazel said. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel petted Arion’s mane as he eating the gold she gave him. Kayla was standing nearby, starting in awe of Arion who had seemed to come out of nowhere. “Just a quick ride for my new friend, okay buddy?” Hazel whispered to him. Arion neighed and Hazel hoped that was a 'Sure Hazel.’ To be honest, it was probably a 'Why the fuck not?’ knowing Arion. “Alright, Kayla, you ready?” Hazel asked. “Definitely.” Kayla said. Hazel climbed onto Arion and held out her hand to help Kayla. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla had never before went so fast as she did while riding Arion. It was incredible. She flinched as they reached the edge of a lake but instead of falling into the water, Arion ran across it. Amazing. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel looked at Kayla. She was heading back to Camp Jupiter. “I'll Iris message you when I can. I'm glad we've become friends in these last few weeks.” Hazel said. “I'm glad too. I've never really had a girl for a friend before unless you count Drew, through she's more like an older cousin to me. And you better Iris message me or else I will do it and chances are I will do it when you are in those amazing Roman baths like you did to Reyna.” Kayla hugged her. Hazel hugged her back. “I should get going. But I mean it about calling you. I really want to stay in touch until I visit Camp Half-Blood.” Hazel said. ❤❤❤❤ Another war. Another battle. More deaths. Kayla stood in the infirmary once again, helping her healer siblings and her dad take care of wounded demigods. This was worst than the Second Titan War and Second Giant War combined. So many dead. So many injured. Kayla walked over to a bed. She was surprised to see a familiar Roman with brown hair laying there with her arm wrapped in bandages. “Hazel?” Kayla said. “Hey Kayla. Looks like I didn't keep my promise to Iris message you. It's good to see you.” Hazel said. “Yeah but oh well. I'm as okay as I can be. My dad is a god again which is good. What happened to your arm?” “Just a big cut. Apollo said I should be fine.” Hazel smiled. Gods Kayla loved that smile. It was so sweet and joyful. And real. “Good. When things settle down we should hang out. Maybe sneak out of camp to go see a musical. There's one I really want to see called Dear Evan Hansen.” Kayla said. “Yeah. Sounds like fun.” Hazel said. “Okay, well I got to get back to helping the injured. I'll come by and change your bandages later and we can make more solid plans.” Kayla said as she walked away. “Flirting with patients is inappropriate.” Austin said as he walked passed her. She rolled her eyes. She hadn't been flirting. Okay she was but it's not inappropriate, Austin is just annoying. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel smiled when Kayla came by to change her bandages. “Hi again.” She said. “Hi. Tell me if I hurt you by accidentally, I'm not a healer so I'm not that good at this stuff.” Kayla said as she started taking off Hazel's old bandage. “I will. So you were saying something about Dear Ivan handsome?” Hazel asked. “Dear Evan Hansen. It's a musical about a guy with social anxiety and fake emails. Damn this is a big cut.” Kayla said. The old bandage was halfway off now. “Sounds cool and swords normally leave big cuts.” Hazel said. Kayla's hand brushed against Hazel's. “Well it's good you don't have any worst injuries.” “I'm tough.” Hazel flexed her free arm. “You are totally tough.” Kayla said. “I am. This cut is nothing.” Hazel said. “What's the worst injury you have ever gotten? The worst I have had was a broken arm and I got stabbed in the stomach.” Kayla finished taking off the old bandage. “Well I've died.” Hazel said before she could stop herself. It wasn't like it was a big secret. But yet Hazel didn't think it was something she should tell people. Kayla was staring at her. “In 1942 Gaea tried to raise Alcyoneus. She made me help her but I stopped it all, killing me and my mother in the process. Nico found me in the Fields of Asphodel and my father gave me another chance at life.” Hazel said. Kayla still stared at her, her hands still on Hazel's arm. “I know it's weird but- “Saving the world before Percy Jackson was even a fertilized egg in his mother's womb. And yet people are all like 'Percy is the greatest hero of our time’ course sometimes it's Percy and Annabeth are the greatest heroes. It's weird but amazing, admirable. You gave up your life for the world. You are the greatest hero of our time.” Kayla said as she started to put on the clean bandage. “Thanks.” Hazel blushed. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla laid in her bed. Her thoughts were full of Hazel. Hazel's arm. Hazel's smile. Hazel's eyes. Hazel's hair. Hazel's everything. She sighed. She was developing more than a little crush on Hazel. Fuck her life. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel stood at Thalia’s tree, waiting for Kayla. The sound of footsteps behind her made her jump. “Don't worry, it's just me.” Kayla said. “Oh good.” Hazel said. She noticed how lovely Kayla looked in the moonlight. “Alright, we have to walk for awhile but I can probably call an Uber.” Kayla said. “Or I can shadowtravel.” Hazel said. “You can do that?” “Yup. Not as well as Nico but I bet I can get us to the city.” Hazel said. “Great! Let's go!” ❤❤❤❤ Kayla laid on the grass next to Hazel. Hazel was playing with an emerald that had popped out of the ground. “It matches how your hair was during the war with Nero last year.” Hazel said. “It does.” “Have it.” Hazel handed it to her. “What? No. I can't.” Kayla handed it back. “Sure you can.” Hazel said. She put the emerald back in Kayla's hand. This time Kayla kept it. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel flopped down on her bed in Cabin 13. “What's up?” Nico asked from his bed. He was playing with a deck of Mythomagic cards. “I want to kiss Kayla.” Hazel said. “Really?” “Yes, really.” “Than tell her that.” “But what if she’s straight? Or if she doesn't like me that way?” “Hazel, I'm dating Leo Valdez who acted like that straightest person in the world, I thought the same about him. Also come on, no girl who wears that much flannel is straight. And she makes heart eyes at you all the time.” Nico said. “Heart eyes? Also the flannel thing isn't true. And heart eyes?” Hazel sat up. “A, Kayla looks at you like Clovis looks at a bed. B, I know it isn't. And c, see a.” Nico said. “If I tell her and everything goes wrong, I'm partial blaming you.” Hazel said. “That's fair.” Nico shrugged. ❤❤❤❤ Kayla sat on top of Zeus’s fist. Hazel had told her to meet her there. Soon she saw the Roman girl walking towards her. “Yo! Hazel! What's up!” Kayla yelled before she jumped down and landed on her bum, “I am okay!” “That's good.” Hazel giggled. “So again, what's up?” Kayla asked. “I… I like you. Like like you. Like want to kiss you like you.” Hazel said. “Really?” Kayla asked. “Yes.” “Well I want to kiss you too but I'm on the ground and you're standing up.” Kayla said. Hazel smiled and laughed before jumping on top of Kayla. “Ow!” Kayla said. “Sorry. I was just happy. Can I kiss you now?” Hazel asked. “No shit.” Kayla said before kissing Hazel. They parted after a short while, “You kissed me but I didn't kiss you.” Hazel said as she kissed Kayla back. ❤❤❤❤ Hazel laid in the grass with her girlfriend. Kayla's hair was purple like Hazel's shirt. Hazel could still see hair dye on Kayla's ears. Hazel thought Kayla was the most beautiful person in the world.

Title: A Hot Blonde at the Bar Fandom: Riordan Universe (I don’t know what else to call it since all of them are in the same universe) Category: Mortal AU Ship: Apollo x Frey Main Idea: The moment Apollo mentioned that he had met a hot blond with a talking sword in Sweden, I could not let it live down. In this scene, Apollo had just lost custody battles with his son, and is now wallowing in self-pity in his half-brother Dionysus’ bar.

Getting divorced and losing the custody battles to his ex-wife did not sit well with Apollo. He loved being married as much as the other guy does, and he loves his son very dearly, but it seems that he shares the fate of all his other half-brothers. The fate of being divorced with their wives or their one-night stands hiding a kid from behind their backs. His sisters Artemis and Athena, who lives in Boston, did the smart thing and remained single, as well as their aunt Hestia. “I should have listened to Artemis when she said that getting married would only lead to disaster...”

“I think the only misfortune that you could have is marrying the wrong person.”

At that moment, Apollo’s head shot up to look at the person who interrupted his pity party. He was all-in to sassing the man, but the moment he laid eyes on him, Apollo felt his breath hitch. There standing in front of him was a tall blue eyed and blond haired man wearing faded jeans, a flannel shirt, and hiking boots, as if he had just gotten home from mountain climbing. He was tall, at least six foot five inches, has a hawkish nose, a stubbly beard, and brilliant white teeth that could blind even him with sunglasses. His crooked chin and cowlick behind his right ear added more sex appeal to his already handsome face.

In Apollo Language: He’s hot.

Thankfully, the thrall only took three seconds before he managed to utter a word. “Saying that from experience?”

The man smirked. “Oh not personally. My sister has been married and divorced for a total of five times, so I can tell how getting divorced for the first time feels.”

“Used you as a punching bag?” Apollo guessed.

“You have no idea.” The handsome man replied. “May I sit?”

Apollo straightened up and nodded. “Sure. Be my guest.”

The man took the seat and made himself comfortable and placed down his own drink. “Being divorced for the first time always hurts the most because you don’t know what you did wrong along the way.” He started.

Snorting, Apollo waved his hand slightly, “Oh, I know where I went wrong. What I am sulking about is the fact that my ex-wife blindsided me when it came to the custody of our son and the changing of his last name from mine to hers without even notifying me.”

At that, the man winced apologetically. “Ouch. That is a cause for drinking down a bottle of brandy.”

Apollo smiled sadly at the thought of his son no longer bearing his surname. “Well, nothing more I can do with that.” He said as he sipped his brandy. “What matters in the end is that my son is well taken care of, and I know for a fact that my ex-wife’s father was the perpetrator for the name changing.” He informed him. Even if he was just talking to a stranger about his divorce, it would do his conscience good to not put Naomi in a negative light. He loved Naomi, it was just that he didn’t love her family, especially her father. Even Artemis considered the man as an asshole. Bless her soul. He then shook his head, “Now that it’s out of the way, how about telling me more about yourself?”

The man smiled and humored him, “Well, I never married, but when my ex-girlfriend died, she left me the son that she never told me about. I just got custody of him last summer.” He shared.

“Then why are you here instead of at home?” Apollo interrogated.

Flashing his mesmerizing white teeth, he answered, “I’d love to stay at home, but my sister is babysitting him from me for the weekend, saying that an old man like me shouldn’t take his son around with his students during hiking, even though my son enjoys it.”

“You barely look thirty!” Apollo exclaimed.

“Thanks for saying that, but I’m already thirty-five.” He replied.

‘Only six years older than me, huh?’ Apollo thought to himself. Not really a large age gap, but still, the man looked too young to be above thirty. “Well, at least you have an advantage to look young at parent-teacher meetings,” he mused.

“I’d like to think so,” he answered.

For the next ten minutes, the two men did nothing but talk about each other. Apollo learned that his name was Frey Summers, an Environmental Studies professor at New York University, and his twin sister, Freya, was a famous jeweler and fashion designer in Europe. He has a son named Magnus, who was just two years older than his son. He just came back from a mountain hike that day, accompanying some of his students with their term paper concerning Minnewaska State Park Preserve, hence his attire.

Apollo, in turn, shared his own background as someone who has a hobby with playing all kinds of musical instruments and he is the head surgeon of Olympus Medical Center, and that Artemis is the head nurse of the said hospital. He did tell him that he was an illegitimate child, but he did not tell him how complicated his life was and his relations with his father. Frankly, the family issues he has are more complicated than other families out there. He decided not to let his head explode if he could help it.

He was about to bring up another subject when a rabble interrupted their conversation, rather, it interrupted just Apollo, because the other man still has his eyes on him.

“For god’s sakes you two idiots, you almost ruined my garbage dumps and the cars of the customers!” an angry Dionysus growled at the two men sporting some bruises to their faces. Apollo recognized them as their half-brothers, Ares and Hephaestus who were still in their matching red and maroon suits. Apparently, they managed to escape their mother’s clutches just in time, and they probably had help from their father Zeus.

“Those punks started it!” Ares reasoned. “Those bastards think that they can get some easy cash by trying to mug two men in tailored suits. I proved them wrong.”

“Don’t look at me! Ares pulled me in!” Hephaestus defended as he was sat down by Hermes at one of the stools while he fetched the first aid kit.

Apollo sighed as he returned to the man in front of them. “Friends of yours?” he asked.

He shook his head, and decided to drop a very big bomb, “Nope. Some of my half-siblings, though the lone girl with them is my older twin.”

Apollo could read the shock on his face when he informed him that they were his siblings, but they instantly faded and smiled. “Big family,” he mused.

“A bit complicated, but yes.” Apollo said fondly. “They have been dragging me everywhere for the past few hours to take my mind off things, but you managed to do that in five minutes flat.”

The man smiled. “I’m glad I could alleviate your worries for a while.”

Apollo smiled as he looked back at his siblings. The moment he saw the gashes on Ares and Hephaestus, and that Hermes was a bit confused of what to do with the kit between the two of them, he stood up. “I better go there and help patch them up. Lord knows what they did out back earlier.” He said.

The man nodded and stood, “I should go too. I’m supposed to head to my sister’s house and sleep over before I drive my son home tomorrow,”

“Thank you for your time then. I enjoyed it.” He admitted.

“I’d like for this to continue, if you want,” Frey said as he handed him a business card. “If you need someone to talk to again, just give me a ring, though not during my classes between seven and two.” He reminded and smiled at him, making Apollo, a grown twenty-nine year-old man, blush.

“S-Sure. See you around.” Apollo bid.

Frey simply smiled. “See you around.” He said and turned to leave the bar.

Apollo didn’t know how long he was staring, but it was definitely long enough, because when he turned to face his siblings, they were all wearing the same annoying smirk that says ‘I know what you just did there’ that made him believe that they were never going to let it go.

“What?” Apollo said as he stared at his siblings.

“I see you abandoned your brandy for the company of a man in hiking wear.” Artemis teased with a smirk.

Apollo shrugged. “He’s just being nice. No need to interpret things,” he then took the first aid kit from his brother, “Now and those over and let me see your bruises. Those can’t be a good sign that it would disappear overnight. Aphy will have a fit.”

“No need to remind us.” Ares mumbled as Apollo placed a swab of cotton with antiseptic on his cheek. “OW!” he flinched.

“Just sit down and let Artemis and I disinfect those! Who knows what those brutes you subdued outside had on their hands!” he mumbled as he tended to his brother, all the while, noticing that the others were smirking at him the entire time.

Yes. Apollo knew that they would never live this down.

real gods require blood

first thing's first: everyone in this ad should be between the ages of 25 and 30 with the exception of persephone who should be 23 - 26 and demeter who should be 27 - 30. genderbending is okay with me as long as you run it by me first because i don't want to have a million girls, i want it to be fairly balanced. everything said below should be taken with a grain of salt meaning if you put your own spin on it that is totally fine, the inspo is what matters.

additionally, only one or two characters should be from hogwarts, because the group is a group of people who are imports to the uk and the life they have here so please look towards the other wizarding schools for these. on site, i did link to some cool pinterest boards with some inspo for all of the different schools as well as a modern take on all of the different gods if you want to look at those when we open but i am not going to take up even more space here to do that and besides, it's just for inspiration, please please please make every single one of these guys your own.

now, for the actual ad, basically these guys are something of a found family. through their jobs, parties, socializing, exes, currents, whatever they all met and it was almost instant, that connection, that 'feels like i've known you my whole life' thing that came over them. and so they stuck together, even if it was just a group owl or once a year dinner party, they've all stayed in touch ever since despite distance, work, time constraints, and anything else that came between them.

the first pair that met and really started it all were aphrodite and hephaestus. they were on again off again, always a problem with time and where their lives were at, but the love is there. they've been friends since their time in school together and it never let up, that care. the rest of the group swear one day aphrodite will find a way to settle down and be with hephaestus but for now hephaestus deals with the on again off again because sometimes is better than never. and then aphrodite found god here, and another one, and their interconnections grew the group and now here they are, family without being blood, with ties running through them, cutting and caressing them all the same.

from there, feel free to just get with me and we can make it work. i'm going to be making a ship developer for them (including a timeline because it seems necessary so that we have some idea on who, what, when, and how) but the basis is a found family plot with interconnections that made this many people come to mean so much to one another. from there? go wild, get with me on any questions, and please have fun with it. some suggestions for interconnections are below in the applicable boxes but if you don't want to use them just talk to me.

something else i'd like to suggest but not require? more creatures! aphrodite is half-veela and having some other creatures in the group, even if they're 1/16th giant or something simple like that would be amazing. thanks guys!

"gotta stay high, all the time, to keep you off my mind". heart of gold but no one ever seems to believe it. here for a fun time, not a long time, but thinking about that too much hurts.

PERSEPHONE. OPEN. persephone grins when people tremble. she is vengeful and wears flowers in her hair and she will make damn sure that the world will never forget her name. suggestions: younger sister of demeter. in love with hades. she's beauty, she's grace. she'll punch you in the face.

HADES. RESERVED FOR LIV. hades stalks the streets, hazy in the fog of the streetlamps, and he smiles, because people will always believe in death and worship riches. suggestions: brother to zeus and poseidon. in love with persephone. affected greatly by the war. secretly the most well rounded and good hearted of them all. how are you so pure, bro? who sent you?
