The Sevro stans vs. Cassius stans divide in the big fandom spaces is stupid, but predictable. Life imitates art, after all. Go ahead, fight 🍿.

Guys... I'm confused about something. Wondering if someone can explain this line in Dark Age to me.

"We were going to sell Electra to Julia au Bellona. Old debts and all."

--the Abomination explaining his intentions for the kids, had their kidnapping been successful.

What the fuck... does this mean?? What is he talking about? What "old debt"??

These books have a very complex and extensive historical and political landscape; this is hardly the first time someone has referenced some past event or grievance or feud and I've been like "wait, what?" and needed to be reminded of some influential happening. But I cannot for the life of me think of what this could be alluding to.

(I'm loathe to try looking it up bc I still haven't read Light Bringer, and I'm worried googling anything Red Rising related might spoil something for me; so it would be wonderful if someone was kind enough to explain it to me.)

Happy STS! I hope you’ve had a good week :) your OCs are forced to spend the night in a haunted house, how does that go? Does anyone try to take charge? Who is the most scared?

Happy STS! The week was a little unproductive in terms of writing, but I'm still feeling good about things! Hope you're doing well 💕

Hehehe. I love this prompt so much! Anything spooky immediately has my attention, and thinking about it in terms of Agent Ace makes it even better!

Sophia would naturally take the lead, gun ready and ears pricked up for anything unnatural. She's been a fan of horror since she was little, so even if she didn't already have the experience of a Guardian and Watch agent, she'd be in her element. However, Janus would take this opportunity to sabotage her at every turn. While Sophia does everything she can to keep the group safe and together, he's wandering off down random hallways shouting to the ghosts and insulting them for their cowardice. Generally just causing shenanigans and putting himself in danger he knows he can narrowly pull himself out of.

Jet would wander, too, but for a different reason. He'd scout the house for threats—specifically dolls. Not much unnerves him, but every doll in his path is getting immediately decimated if it so much as looks at him funny. Bellona would eventually join in on the rampage, not because she was convinced they were haunted, but because she was bored waiting for the others and this looked like fun.

August would arrive decked out with salt, candles, smudge sticks, a crucifix, the whole shebang. He'd set it all up in his designated 'safe room' while Sophia insisted to no avail that it wasn't necessary. For the rest of the night, he'd then attempt to strike up conversations with the ghosts, and when Sophia snapped at him to put it away, he'd argue that they may have something important to say.

Ahren would designate himself as the 'babysitter,' watching over Harley and her friends so Sophia could focus on doing her job. He would try and fail to hide how anxious he was, but he's the one who will jump at any little thing that might happen. Max, once he saw how frightened Ahren truly was, would sit with him and try to comfort him, even though he'd be scared shitless himself. He'd teach him the grounding techniques he uses to recover from panic attacks, and I imagine they'd actually bond a fair bit over this (which is nice, since the two of them don't get much one-on-one time)!

Jade hates the house, and she would start filming everything she does so there's proof of what happened to them in case they didn't make it out alive. Harley tries to intervene before Sophia gets annoyed with it, but she ends up joining the video and they turn it into a ghost-hunting documentary. Sophia lets it go because she sees that it actually helps Jade feel better, and they're both having fun with. Harley leads and narrates them through the house while Jade follows and backs her up with commentary. Along the way, they'd write nice messages for the ghosts in the dust and shut any windows to keep them warm. The others all make their own cameos with varying degrees of composure and sanity. At this point, I'll leave that up to your imagination!

House of Bellona - Prologue

here’s the prologue for my fantasy young adult novel, House of Bellona ! 

https://www.wattpad.com/1285303033-house-of-bellona-prologue

[itstivan]

I want a sbg x pjo au SO BAD. But in my opinion.. NO ONE DOES IT RIGHT!!! (in my opinion don’t attack me)

but i want to read it not make it!!!

but here it is.. what I THINK the sbg kids cabins would be.. with explanations.

HEROES OF OLYMPUS SPOILERS??

I’ve debated about this for a while, talking to people in a discord server about it and shit like that. But in my opinion I feel like there are various routes you could take with this.

For example, say ashlyn or aiden are one of the MAIN characters. So a child of the big three. But I think they both do not fit Poseidon.

I feel like Ashlyn would be a child of Zeus, and Aiden would be a child of Hades. I don’t think I really need to explain why I think this, but wtv..

To sum it up, Zeus with Ashlyn because she took on the role as leader. And some more shit but wtv,

And Aiden as Hades because he’s edgy! /j

there’s more to it but I think you prob get my gist.

NOW TO ACTUAL HOUSES AND NOT BIG THREE!!!!

Ashlyn would be a child of Athena. I think everyone pretty much agrees with this. Her being the strategist while also being good at fighting. She make’s the groups plans and is the leader of the group. People rely on her, and her ideas.

(if this was an au I made, Ashlyn would be badass with a sword. idc what anyone says)

But I also feel like, Ashlyn gives off pretty roman vibes.

So I also feel like she’d be a daughter of Bellona. She’s very set on her plans. She’s mature (for her age, ofc she still has regular 14/15 year old feelings) and responsible. She’s responsible for her actions, good at fighting, mostly a rule follower, and a lot more.

So i’m very torn between Greek/Athena Ashlyn OR Roman/Bellona Ashlyn.

Aiden would be a child of Hermes.

Due to moving around a lot during his childhood links to Hermes being the God of travelers. As well as his speed and durability, a thing most travelers need. Also Aiden being mischievous also works with Hermes.

Ben would be a child of Apollo hands down.

The healing? Hello? He’s the groups designated healer. He healed Ashlyn, heals Aiden all the time, healed Tyler in the school, and also healed Logan. Or at least he tended to them wtv, SAME THING.

Also his love for music? Apollo being the god of music? it’s perfect guys i swear.

Logan would be a child of Demeter. Obviously because of his grandparents being florists, so maybe one of them is also a child of Demeter? Idk, anyways, he also has some ancestry to Urania, one of the nine muses, who is the patron to astronomy.

Now, the twins are tricky. They both have very distinct personalities and are completely different in the way they act. Tyler being standoffish, while Taylor being extremely friendly. And lots of other traits.

I feel like these two can fit under twos gods. So maybe either one of these.

I think they’re either Hephaestus kids, OR Aphrodite.

Hephaestus kids because Taylor is known for being in the robotics/mechanics club and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. Although she’s friendly to people and is an extrovert, I think she’d fit well be a Hephaestus kid. (similar to Leo maybe? except people like her… (sorry leo))

Now Tyler. I feel like he was the handyman of the house, which can be seen in that one panel of him fixing something. So I think he’d fit under that. And even if he didn’t tinker, I feel like he’d be the “mom” of the cabin and help other Hephaestus kids, like giving them tools and shit.

And then the twins being Aphrodite. I have no clue why but they kinda give off Aphrodite. They’re both popular and well liked, (even if Tyler doesn’t seem to like being popular…) they’re not pretty/handsome, and although Tyler has trouble regulating his emotions, I feel like he’d give pretty good emotional advice.

basically it for my sbg x pjo rambling… thanks for reading if you did :D

[p-perkeys]

AU where instead of trying to kill Logan, Daken decides instead he will find all of his half siblings and raise them instead. Like what better revenge, he thinks to himself, than to make all these kids hate their mutual dad as much he does.

Except… there is a lot of them.

And a lot of them are traumatised, like he was.

And one of them has clones. Which you know he can’t just leave about.

And he can’t leave these scientists who think they can use their dna (Logan’s dna) to make people into weapons.

and slowly, but surely, Daken does not have time to think about revenge on his father. Or for whatever plans Romulus has for him.

Like, Laura is having a hard time learning how to express herself in a healthy way and he is too worried about her self harming to be worried about whatever “evil” deed he should be doing.

And Raze needs to be talked down from doing something stupid, like trying to go back to a future that probably doesn’t exist anymore or contact his mum again.

And the girls, his little clones, won’t stop trying to blow up the scientist who had made them. Like he has plans to deal with that but they want to do it nowww. They don’t want to wait for him to get all the information needed before they go off a murder spree

And don’t get him started on the fact that he just found out about that kid who is in the Savage Land. Or Jimmy. Or all those other siblings that seem to pop up out of nowhere.

He has his hands full that by the time he runs into Logan again, the only real thought in his mind is how the fuck he can sue his father for child support. Or if he should just throw a box of condoms at the old man’s head.

Because it is very hard to be a crime lord or make money when you have a whole bunch of half siblings to care for.

OH MY GOD THIS IS PERFECT 🙌🏻

YES

ALL OF THIS

I LIVE for Daddy Daken it’s not even a joke it’s so real for me at this point. Let this man be a brother dad to the plethora of oh so traumatized children that his father has left behind in a ridiculous amount.

All the sons… Jesus, all the sons. It’s an ego contest for the younger boys (all but Jimmy… I feel like Jimmy would be able to handle himself well). But Raze, Erista, and all the others? He’s constantly finding himself breaking up useless fights. Over what? Dumb shit, that’s what.

And then all the girls. Every single one, sad and and angry and traumatized. Laura’s self harming. Bellona wants to harm everyone else. Gabby is just raising the absolute most hell. Zelda’s just… somewhere drifting around the middle.

It very quickly goes from Akihiro being the badass big brother that resurrected and recruited them all, to him being just an absolute mess all the time. No house is big enough for him and all his siblings. There is no balance.

Teams?? What teams?? He’s on the team of For The Love Of God I Said Leave Him Alone. Sometimes he’s on the team of I Said Stop Fucking Touching That. He’s been known to fill in on She Said Stop That So STOP THAT.

I support this AU whole heartedly.

No notes, it’s brilliant!

description: i like to think of myself as nice and so does my girlfriend, we have been together for a year now

i am kind and love working with children. don't really talk much but oh well.

appearance: long brown hair, blue eyes, freckles :)

backstory: i met my girlfriend three years ago in an alleyway, we didn't quite click at first but then we were stuck together, cornered by a manticore. so we fled to new york, where we found out that she was a roman demigoddess and not greek, which kind of sucked because iykyk.

so anyway, chiron told us to separate which we could barely even imagine, and we ended up across the world from each other, me in camp half-blood and her in camp jupiter (as a daughter of bellona).

the war (BoO) brought us together again, even though we were forced to fight against each other. it was very heartbreaking to see her hurt because of me.

in the aftermath, we both decided we would stay in contact (via iris-messaging) through the year until i could fly to new rome, where i am now, writing this from our dorm.

relationship status: taken! by @frick-frack-its-natalie

luv u all, goodnight!!!

House Herz

Ever wonder about Cleopatra's family before she met Hector Dovecote? Well, ponder no more!

House Motto: Cor Aut Mors - Heart or Death

Amongst polite society, House Herz is best known as an avid patron of the arts. A great number of art collectors and curators make up their house members and it's unsurprising to see their name in a museum wing, art gallery or even auction houses.

In other circles however.... their name holds a different meaning. For a price, they can fetch whatever you desire. Should it be money, information, or even a life.

Quick Note:

This focuses primarily on the main line of House Herz.

Siblings are presented eldest to youngest, from left to right.

Mentions of death - some more unsettling than others (ie. carved hearts, dismemberment, child death.)

Pre-Dark Days

Note: Hector is alive at this current time-point.

TBOSAS-era

Fun Facts!

In Romulus' generation, his father named his sons after the mythological founders. His daughters were named after Roman Empresses (that suffered damnatio memoriae - Valeria Messalina and for Statilia Messalina).

Both Endymion and Clemensia are the youngest of their generations.

Areia had twins (Circe and Calypso), their father is unknown and nobody is in a rush to look for him. She also took in Prometheus when he was a baby. Was he kidnapped? Nobody knows.

Romulus-centric facts:

Prior to his ascension as head of his house, he was arranged to marry the then-current Head of House Phibbs, who was thrice his age.

Not wanting that life, he tried to run away with his first love (a Whimsiwick from a cadet branch). Unfortunately, his sister caught them and they were stopped from escaping. For his audacity, his family had him punished – his lover was tortured to death and he was forced to watch his lover's heart carved out of their chest.

Had his son, Alexander, with a man whose name remains forever hidden from everyone else. Rumoured to have been his first love.

Romulus picked his own name upon ascending as Head of House Herz.

Married Levana Cardew after helping her get rid of her wretch of a husband. Adopted Cleopatra a few years afterwards.

Deaths in the family:

Romulus is alleged to have killed his way to become head of the family. He is also rumoured to have killed Levana's first husband.

Pre-Dark Days

Mr. Herz - in a gambling den fight, someone stabbed him. While the stab itself was unfatal, the blade was coated in poison.

Valeria - an ex-lover killed her, carving out her heart for display.

Cadmus - he and his spouse unexpectedly passed when the pufferfish they were sampling was improperly prepared.

Creusa & Jason - Cadmus' children were lost in a house fire that same night Cadmus and his spouse perished.

Deukalion - drowned while yachting in 4.

Medus - caught in a gang territorial dispute. They found his head in an alleyway, but the rest of him was never recovered.

With the deaths of his father and his siblings, Messalina Romulus Herz was the only one left of the main branch to succeed as head of his house.

closer to TBOSAS era

Bellona's husband died during the Dark Days - thought to be torn apart by a pack of wild dogs. His body was found partially consumed and an arm was missing.

She may also be following in her Aunt Cleopatra's footsteps. Currently on her third marriage.
