Metis and Hera in the Olympian Gardens

According scene below the cut

They sat in the garden together, in the peaceful serenity beyond the usual buzz of Olympus. Hera knew Metis was very much aware what drew her close, the goddess of family drawn to the new life growing within the queen, the child of the most powerful couple on Olympus. Metis didn't seem to mind Hera's sudden influx in interest, and beyond that, they had both found they enjoyed each other's company. Metis smiled, moving a hand to her growing belly. "She's moving," she said softly, motioning Hera to feel. It was odd, Hera thought, to feel so hesitant in what was essentially her own domain, but then again, she was acutely aware that it was not her child. Almost gingerly, she put her hand on the titan's belly, holding her breath as she felt the faint movement under her skin. An ache settled in her chest, a pain almost beautiful and impossible to define. "How do you know it's a girl?" she asked. Metis chuckled. "Well, Zeus doesn't think much of a mother's instincts," she said. "But it's not only that. I can hear her think." Her voice was filled with tenderness. "She's so curious already. And she feels safe, that's what matters most." Hera's gaze wandered over the luscious green of the garden, wistful. "That's true," she said thoughtfully. "How will you name her?" For a moment, she didn't think Metis would answer. The air was filled with the slight pull of a secret, between Metis, her child and the cosmos itself. "Athena," Metis said softly, barely a whisper between the rustling of the leaves. "Mind of the gods." Hera nodded almost solemnly, but then smiled. "That's a beautiful name," she said, then leaned over to whisper to the baby in a conspiratorial tone. "I cannot wait to meet you, little Athena." They both chuckled. It was a peaceful moment of joy, and nothing suggested it wouldn't last.

Epic!Hera having a Groovy 70/80's aesthetic is something i really love, since i'm used to seen her being despicted as a very regal goddess, so seen her dancing and posing in the animatic of God Games was a pretty funny and original to me.

Crazy thing is that is not even the first time i see Hera with this type of vibe, since Destripando la Historia used the song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA as inspiration for Hera's song, wich was released in 1979 and is very catchy and upbeat song. I guess musicians just read about Hera and somehow get very Grooby vibes from her.

Ares, Hera, and Hermes during Odysseus

Hera, goddess and protector of women:

Ares, getting his promised slaughter:

Hermes, watching his favourite baby kill people:

[shinedoitsulikeabright]

I love the idea of every god that agreed to free Ody helping him out during 600 strike

Because, let's be honest, as cool as the song is, there is no way in hell a mere mortal could ever do that to Poseidon. I mean, he's on the same power level as Zeus ffs.

So, I like the headcanon that he received divine help. Just imagine:

Zeus finds the whole thing hilarious so he provides thunder and lightning to set the mood and complete the aesthetic. Seriously, his brother is getting tortured with his own trident by a puny human who's taunting him with his own philosophy. It doesn't get any more ironic than that.

Apollo and Hades unknowingly have the same idea; Apollo provides a sick beat while Hades releases those 600 souls from the Underworld so they can be the chorus.

Ares is taking over since Athena is busy recovering. After all, she did promise him bloodshed (plus he already hated his uncle prior to this event due to the whole Alcippe incident).

Hera isn't super keen on Poseidon either (since he too is a serial cheater on his wife) so she just watches in amusement. After Ody says "next to my wife" she just sends Zeus a glare.

Aphrodite sparks that flame of love he feels for his family and comrades in Ody's heart, giving him additional strength.

Hermes and Aeolus are watching from the side, eating popcorn and probably filming it so they can show Athena (and so they can later have blackmail to taunt Poseidon with).

The Greek gods and how willing they are to fuck Odysseus (at least according to me)

Not doing all of them, there’s so many

Zeus: He most def would, but not because Ody is special. Like, it’s Zeus, the man would fuck anything as long as it’s breathing. I do think he’d enjoy the pleasure of messing with his older brother though, so he’s extra into it for that

Poseidon: Oh yes. He’d deny it if asked, but he wants to fuck him so badly

Hades: I think he’d fuck him mainly to see what all the hype is about. And to mess with Poseidon of course

Hera: Nah, she’s surprisingly loyal. Which like bitch why

Hestia: Asexual queen

Demeter: She has no idea who Odysseus is tbh. Don’t think she’d be too into it anyways

Apollo: Yeah! That’s not a good thing for Ody tho, as it never ends well for Apollo’s mortal lovers. Mans might be in danger

Artemis: Asexual lesbian queen

Athena: See with her, I don’t know. Their bond is strictly platonic, but I don’t think they’d be against the idea of fucking each other. I do think she’d make him fight for it

Ares: Now for most of the duration of the musical, no I do not think he’d be interested. But after he repeatedly stabs Poseidon with a trident? Oh boy

Aphrodite: Yeah, he’s just her type! Tough warrior that’s secretly a sub :)

Hermes: Mans been willing to fuck him for a long ass time, like I’m impressed by his level of self restraint actually

Dionysus: Is in the same seat as Demeter in that he has little idea of who this dude actually is. Don’t think he’d turn him down though

Hephaestus: I don’t think so, but I have no concrete reason for that answer. Vibe check

Aeolus: No thanks :)

[bibliophilicbi]

Poseidon, having been penetrated as much as Zeus: How will you sleep at night? >:(

Ody, wife is life: Next to my wife.

Hera and Aphrodite:

[sarnai4]

(Some point after Vengeance Saga)

Athena: Oh, hi, Odysseus.

(Poseidon runs away faster than Hermes can fly)

Hera: Athena, Odysseus isn't here.

Athena (smiling): I know.

[therandomfandomme]

i love Athena trying to convince Hera to let Odysseus go, bc all the other gods had grievances against him she could correct but Hera is just putting on her listening ears and going: Okay, baby, I'm listening, please convince me, what makes this dude so good :)

And of course she tries things she finds important as a goddess of war and strategy, mentioning his mind and his talking skills, but Hera remains unimpressed.

So then she just goes fuck, fuck, what do people who are interested in romance like in others??? Uhhhhh... he's kinda funny? Also doesn't work.

And only then does she go, oh wait, Hera likes one specific thing about relationships, loyalty, luckily for Odysseus, I can tell her that he is. #Win. And i love that for her, she's such a dork xp

In honour of the release of God Games I have decided to draw the 6 challengers in Athena's way <3 <3. I love them so dearly you have no idea. And man I really have not been making enough EPIC content. I ought to get back to those animatics I've been planning and at least finish a small section of them. That'd be nice. asjdgsajd

[the-mori-arty]

More colored gods! ✨HERAH✨

[doppy-enjo]

600 STRIKE!!!!!

Okay so consider the possibility that Odysseus got buffs from all the gods that approved his release Hades game-Style
