#Kratos never talked to her about ANYTHING

[lokis-wager]

Can't believe that Faye actually gaslit Kratos into believing that she was a kind, peaceful woman who just liked living alone in the woods for absolutely no reason.

Confessing Your Love

Genre: Headconons

Warnings: Cursing(Brok..)

≫ ────── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ────── ≪

Kratos

“Hmm,” followed by a slow nod.

He wouldn't say anything immediately.

He will just kind of look at you, studying your eyes.

He doesn't want to take chances.

Man has trust issues!

Telling him you love him will make him so happy yet so scared.

You wouldn't be able to tell.

Eventually you'd hear, “I love you, as well.”

He'd immediately ask you to move your things to his home if you haven't already.

He loves you, so you need to stay close so he can protect and provide for you!

He'd start to find more excuses to touch you and you'd laugh telling him he doesn't need them.

Eventually, he will be comfortable enough to walk up to you just for an embrace or smooch.

Mimir

Before his head got..you know.. His first instinct you be to turn to you completely.

“Really, Las? An old man like me?” He'd laugh but he'd offer to do something romantic.

Smartest man alive, but he never saw that coming.

Either way he’d swear his loyalty and heart to you.

Anything you want, he's on it.

After his head…

He'd probably hesitate to return the sentiment, no matter how genuine it is.

“I- I can't offer you much, Las.” He’d frown.

He'd feel inadequate, and undeserving- he's just a head after all!

What could he give you in terms of love and affection?

After telling him his company is all you desire then he'd probably think you've gone mad.

But after a while of talking about it he'd smile and say it back.

You'd carry his head on your belt during travels throughout the realms after.

Giving him kisses on his cheeks and forehead.

It's simple and innocent devotion and its loves that he's enough for you.

Atreus

Telling Arteus you've got a crush on him would probably make him completely freeze and go red.

I'm talking his fathers tattoo red!

Lots of stuttering and blushing while you guys talked about it.

He wouldn't really know what to do or say afterwards.

But no doubt he'd eventually be able to get it out that he likes you too.

He's never done any of this before, so he'd probably go to Mimir or Freya for advice.

If and when you ever hold his hand or hug him his palms get sweaty and he gets nervous.

But he's happy to oblige!

He thinks your so cute.

Talks to his dad about it.

He's shy, but after a while of spending more time hanging out with you he’d get cocky and try to show off and impress you more.

Half of the time he’ll be trying so hard he just ends up looking silly or just straight up stupid.

But you laugh it off and tell him how cute and sweet he is.

He's whipped.

Freya

No matter how comfortable she is around you, no matter how safe you make her feel, she'll hesitate.

As soon as you tell her you're in love with her, she'll need room away from you.

In every relationship so far, she's been to much or not enough.

The woman is hurt and healing.

She's scared its not the truth, like with Odin.

Or if it is, and you truly love her, then what if she messes it up?

What is her love is to much for you and you leave her?

Or what if, out of fear of being too much, she’s not enough- and you leave her? 

Freya can't take another heartbreak.

But after seeing how understanding you are of her past, and reassuring her worries that you're not going anywhere she's willing to listen.

You'd tell her that it doesn't matter if she loves you the same way, or another, as long as your with her its enough for you.

And hearing that would be enough for her.

You'd have to take things slowand steady with her.

But she is so very much in love with you.

She will make sure you both set boundaries to keep her from going to far and pushing you away.

She doesn't wanna lose you too.

Brok

“Well it's about fucking time!”

He's so cool and sure of himself on the outside, so he'll play it off like he know you loved him.

But really he's surprised.

He's not the most romantic man, but he'll give it an honest try for your sake.

He’ll get flowers and sweets for his lady.

Most definitely start bringing about you to everyone he meets every chance he gets.

He's very standoffish when it comes to affection.

So any time you give it to him he'll stutter just slightly and awkwardly reciprocate it while he gets used to someone being infatuated with him.

Very defensive and protective is anyone makes comments about you two.

“Mind your business, you unfuckable drauger-looking bastard!” 

Very confident on the outside, very unsure on the inside.

He's worried he's not doing it right but all he needs is you smiling at him the way you do and he'll be just fine. 

Sindri

Congratulations, you broke him.

His initial reaction is giving O.O

Wide eyes, red cheeks, mouth open.

He'd stutter for a response and get frustrated with himself for losing his voice for a moment.

Give him some time and words will just start spilling out.

He loves you, that was no secret to anyone!

He’ll tell you all about it when the air come back into his lungs.

He’ll go on and on about how pretty you are, and amazing, and how much he likes your smile.

Lots of nervous chuckles and shy grins from this man.

He hates when people touch him, sorry to say you're no exception.

But you figured you wouldnt be; at least for now.

However he is willing to hook his pink finger to yours every now and then as a very small step in the direction of hugging you.

Having you love him really makes him frustrated with his thing with germs and dirt.

He’s never had a problem with it before.

But now he wants to hold you and be held by you and the thought of it makes him shiver in disgust.

It's a fear he's willing to conquer if it means one day he'll get to see the smile on your face when he holds you with out gagging for the first time.

You know better then to take offense; it's nothing personal.

He gags at everyone. 

Tyr

He didn't see it coming.

But he had hoped..

It was a happy surprise when you blurted it out while spending time with him while reading.

He gave you a soft smile after the shock settled and returned the sentiment .

Not much had to be said between you two after that.

The only thing that really changed in the relationship were beginning to sit closer together and a lot more gentle touches.

He'd rest against you while you braid his hair, and he'll braid yours.

His eyes have always laid on you softly, but there's something more in them when he looks at you now.

Contentment.

He’s happy to share any moment a with you that he can. 

Heimdal

He knew.

He knew you loved him for a while.

He knew you wanted to say it.

The cooky little shit just waited and waited until you did.

He wanted to hear it.

But when you approached him and said you loved him it felt different then he imagined it would.

He knew you, and he saw in your head that you truly meant it.

He knew you loved the good, the bad, and the ugly in him.

He knew that unlike the other people who have claimed to love him, you didn't think ‘i can change him.’

He saw the unsure insecurities in your head and body language that he wouldn't feel the same way.

After all, he reads minds, and he knew what you felt all this time and never addressed it so clearly he wasn't interested, right?

To be honest, up until that point he hadn't really considered your feelings despite knowing them.

You had told him you loved him, but you had only said it so he would tell you what you believed he would- that he doesn't care.

You had only said it so he could break your heart, and you could get closure, and hopefully move on.

It twisted his gut that you were walking into this fully believing you would be turned away.

He saw in your head that you had already been crying over it.

But that's not what he wanted, so instead being sarcastic or rude like he would be with literally anyone else he smiled at you.

“I know.” He said softly.

Thor

“Good for you.”

He's not really interested.

Plus he's still married.

So piss off.

Not proof read.

There’s this little sidequest on GOW 2018 where a ghost promises to help them talk with the dead, if they help him. Atreus is excited bc now he believes he can talk to his mother, while Kratos is extremely weary and warns Atreus that the spirit is lying and his mother is GONE.

Anyway, there’s this moment where Kratos asks Atreus what he wants to say to his mother and he answer something like “tell her about our adventures, that we’re okay, that everything is working out”. It’s very sweet. Then I think Atreus asks what he wants to tell Faye and Kratos is like “nothing. There was nothing left to say”, and I bet that brought him comfort and a sense of closure, but then the end of the game happens and PLOT TWIST! Faye was not who she said she was! She had so many secrets it makes one’s head spin, and that sense of closure is gone. Suddenly, there’s so much to say that will be left unsaid.

It gets to me. I think Kratos writes in his journal how much he wishes to just talk to Faye again, and although he never EVER says as much, I imagine how it must hurt to find out he didn’t knew her at all. Or at least there’s this BIG part of her life, of herself that she kept hidden and he will never fully know. God, it must eat him inside (or at least me).

The Vanaheim sidequest when we learn about her fight with Thor…god, I always find it a little sad. How Kratos keeps denying that Faye had anything to do with it until the evidence becomes too much to ignore. This part where he insists Faye didn’t drink bc she never did it with him….but it becomes clear she did drink in the past, he just didn’t knew about it. It breaks my heart to watch Kratos find out through third parties about his wife’s life, the woman he loved.

And none of this will never be resolved. He can’t get angry with her for keeping secrets bc she’s dead. There’s no point in resenting the dead. He can’t sit with her and ask why, he can’t sit with her and ask for more. She can’t tell those stories herself and I think that’s what hurts the most. There’s always going to be a part of Faye that’s going to shrouded in mystery.

That’s what I feel defines Faye and Kratos in the end. This lack of closure. That they needed at least one last, long conversation so they could finally say EVERYTHING that needs to be said. It breaks my heart that Kratos will never get that.

And I know what is important they do know. That they loved each other deeply. Faye keeping secrets doesn’t mean what they had, what they shared wasn’t real…but still!!!!

Olden Times. Modern Thinking.

(Heimdall/Modern!Reader)

Summary: You know things you’re not supposed to. You behave oddly. And the way you speak is even odder. Kratos, Mimir, and Atreus have no idea if they should believe your ramblings of another world and of a future they have no way of knowing is real. But, you seem harmless enough. Plus, Faye may rise from her grave if they let a poor woman freeze to death in their forest, right outside their home no less.

Chapter 6

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It’s been a whirlwind of activities since Týr showed up in the Huldra Brothers extravagant treehouse. The Gods traipsed off to Alfheim in search of Gróa’s shrine. Of course you couldn’t go because of the whole ‘being mortal’ bit. But it didn’t matter because you knew what they were going to find there. A shrine portraying a prophecy about the destruction of Asgard, and the Giants champion running the helm. You knew that Kratos and Atreus would argue. One believing in a destiny that was written in the stars just for him and the other refusing to give the fates of this world any leverage over him, or his son. They came back, clouded in anger. Kratos went to brood. Atreus went to sleep. And soon after, drifted into another world far from here. And Týr, tried to pick up a conversation with you. But thankfully Brok was always there to ask for your help with something him and Sindri were working on. Although confused, Sindri didn’t mind. In fact he quite liked teaching you things here and there. Probably because you actually listened to him unlike Brok.

Two days passed. Everyone was a wreck. No one knew where Atreus was. Except you of course. Brok asked you but you told him you couldn’t tell him. And he rightfully got a bit upset at you. You tried to explain to the best of your abilities why you couldn’t say anything about where he was but it was difficult. This was the one thing you disliked about the game. The obtuseness of certain dialogues and how no one just came out and talked to each other. Miscommunication was annoying and honestly shouldn’t be a real problem in real people’s live because, HEY, just SPEAK UP. Talk about your feelings. Set boundaries. Communicate. And yet… here you were. Doing the exact same thing you despised. But you couldn’t help it. Not with this. Not with Ironwood. Was it annoying? Yes. But was this obtuseness necessary for the greater good? Also yes.

But thankfully all of that is done and behind you. You glance around the purple void as you walk along the branches of Yggdrasil. Brok and Sindri walking in front of you. You hear the brothers converse ahead. Sindri saying something about how glad he is that they found Atreus but wondering what in the Hel has gotten into him. ‘Running away from home like that.’ With a puffy huff at the end. You can’t help but smile. Home. If you can’t go back to yours, you hope the gods and dwarves around you can make a permanent spot for you.

“Hurry up or we’ll leave you here, girly.” Brok said as he crossed his arms in front of the gate. Sindri turned around quickly, “We would never do that (Y/n).” He turns back to Brok, “Someone just doesn’t understand patience.” Brok walked through the door, ignoring both you and Sindri who motioned to the gate, “Ladies first.” You smile and thank him as you also walk through. You glance around the cold and frozen landscape before your eyes stopped on three gods standing in front of your old cabin. They all walk towards you before Kratos motions for Atreus to go with you and the dwarves. Now is your time. You stand to the side with Brok as Atreus and Sindri walk into the gate. Freya walks up to Kratos before telling him of her plan to travel to Vanaheim.

“Well. Guess it’s just us then.” Freya rolls her eyes before stopping their decent back into her skull. She looks towards you, confused.

“And who are you?” She looks you up and down. She can probably tell your a mortal so you just tell her your name. Kratos turns towards you as well. “What are you doing here? Why have you not gone back home with Atreus?” Here it goes. Freya questions Kratos, “You know her? Why do you travel with a human? Who is she to you?” You speak up to plead your case as Brok opens up a door to Vanaheim.

“Like I said, I’m just (Y/n). Um, Kratos and Atreus saved me from freezing to death right outside their house. I owe them a lot.” Your eyes shift back over to Kratos. “I know I can’t do much but trust me when I say I have to go with you guys to Vanaheim. There’s something I need to talk to you about.” Freya sighs and shakes her head before sheathing her sword.

“No. We cannot take you. You’ll just be an unnecessary risk and burden on our way to garner my freedom.” Ouch. That was harsh. Kratos doesn’t move a muscle as he questions you. “Can this not wait until we are back in the dwarves home?” You shake your head as you make your way over to Brok.

“No it can’t. And frankly I’m not asking for permission from either of you. I’m an adult. I can make my own decisions. Even if those decisions could lead to me getting hurt.” You cringe a bit. The last part sounded dumb as all hell. Freya walks over to you, “You mean to your death.” Ice cold. Not an ounce of warmth in her voice. “Yeah, that too I guess.”

“I am sorry but I’m not letting you get in the way of what I seek.” You stare back into her chocolate brown eyes. You could almost see the hurt and anger swirling behind her irises. “I understand but I’m still going. Plus…” you pat Brok on the shoulder, “…Brok can look after me!” He swung his arm at you. “HA. You wish.” You scowl and try to push him into the snow.

“Enough.” Kratos steps forward. “Will you watch over her or no?” Brok sighs, “Fine. Why the hell not. House is getting stuffy anyways. We could both do with some strechin our legs.” Kratos hums before he and Freya step through the gate.

“So, you’re finally going to tell him? Good. Thought you were gonna wimp out on me.” You shiver. “I almost did. I just… I just don’t want him to be mad at me.” Brok nods his head in understanding. “Don’t go frettin’ ‘bout nothin’. Knowing the future is hard enough on some gods. But knowin’ the future as a human? An odd one from another world to boot? I’m sure he’ll understand that shit ain’t easy for anyone.”

“I hope so.” And with that you both stepped through the door. Vanaheim, here we come.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Brok kept his word and protected you from all sorts of monsters that spawned in front of you. And despite Freya’s chilly demeanor, you saw her sword slice a few Draugr that got just a bit too close to you. Kratos did as well. You hate being a burden for them but this was the only to get Kratos alone. Away from any secret conniving gods or ravens. Plus they didn’t have to haul you for long. A certain god of fertility’s camp was coming up soon.

But you will admit, seeing all these creatures in real life was quite terrifying. They weren’t pixels on a tv anymore. They were growling, snarling, spitting beasts. And for some reason they seemed keen on killing you. Not your group as a whole. You. Just you. Though they did fight the others, some of them were pulled towards you. As if you were a magnet for trouble or something. You shiver thinking about how their different colored blood sprayed from their bodies as axes and swords plunged through them like cake. Thankfully Mimir had noticed your fear and discomfort, cracking jokes or telling you stories from Kratos’ belt to help calm your anxieties. And you’ll thank him thoroughly for that once you reach Freyr’s camp. Freya had unfortunately turned into a falcon by now. So it was only Kratos and Brok doing the bulk of the fighting now. That is, until you hear a familiar snap and a scream. Oh no, forgot to mention that to Brok. Whoops. Oh well, he’ll be fine. Brok struggles to get down as Kratos tells you both to remain silent. You make your way over to Brok. Maybe once he’s cut down you can catch him.

“Now what do we have here?” A voice asks from the darkness. “Ol’ One-Eye send another god to do his dirty work? Thor too busy?” Kratos squares off his shoulders. “We do not serve Odin.” Freyr lights a small torch before throwing the two rocks back onto the ground. “No? Picked a dangerous place for sightseeing then.” He shrugs. “Am I right?” And it was then that Freyr’s comrades decided to make their presence known. Weapons in hand and raised. But you paid them no mind as you felt a familiar buzzing in your chest. Or more so, in your bra. You had almost forgotten that you placed you phone there for safe keeping. But now you couldn’t pull it out fast enough as Fergie’s ‘Clumsy’ started playing on full blast. It’s was your best friends ringtone.

‘First time

That I saw your eyes

Boy you looked right through me, mmmhmm’

You freeze up in mortification as you make eye contact with Freyr. You can feel your cheeks heat up in pure embarrassment as you chuck your fur pelt off of you. Everyone else stops what they’re doing as they stare at you in complete confusion. You, in your embarrassed haze, don’t even notice Lunda cut Brok down as he falls to the ground beside you.

‘Play it cool

But I knew you knew

That cupid hit me, mmm mmm’

As you shove your hand down your shirt you glance back up again to still see Freyr looking at you. This time with a bit of a smirk on his face. You would be upset at your friend but you knew she would be just as embarrassed as you if you called her in the middle of a meeting and on full blast Gwen Stefani’s ‘The Sweet Escape’ started playing. So you’ll forgive her. If you ever made it back home that is. You finally pull your phone out of your shirt but by that time the call had ended. And now you just realized that you missed a phone call. A phone call! You’ve tried sending messages and calling people but nothing ever went through. And now by some miracle a call made it to you and you fucked it all up by being embarrassed? Great. You turn to look at everyone, still frozen.

“Sorry. So sorry about that. I uh… well ya know… um. Fergie’s iconic. What do you want from me?” Freyr stepped closer to you before Kratos stopped him with the blade of his axe. “I’m sorry but uh… who are you?” You went to go answer his question but was silenced by Freya as she flew in and perched herself next to her brother. She explained who everyone was and what they were doing here. As she did that you turned towards Brok and helped him to his feet. He got up and dusted himself off.

“What in all the nine realms was that?” You crossed your arms, “Music. Ever heard of it?” He flung some dirt at you before he made his way over to Lunda and her forge. You see Kratos, Freyr, and Mimir talking at the makeshift war planning table. At least, that’s what you’re calling it. You make your way over as you hear Mimir say he would be better off here, consulting Freyr on his battle plans while Kratos and Freya sho off in search of her freedom. You stand beside Mimir as you tell Kratos that it’s best for you to stay here too. You quickly glance over to Freyr.

“If that’s ok with you that is?” He moves a little closer before smiling down at you. “Sure, of course. As long as I get another free show.” You scowl. “Excuse me?” You cross your arms over your thin tunic. You should go pick up you pelt after this. He slides away, noticing the hulking shadow that was Kratos was now behind you. Axe in hand. “I meant the singing. Plus I was uh… I was only kidding. Of course you can stay here.” Kratos grumbled before looking down towards you. You glanced up at him with a small smile on your face. “Don’t worry. We’ll talk when you get back. I wouldn’t keep Freya waiting for long.” Mimir adds in, “Don’t worry brother. No funny business will be happening here.” You laugh a good hearty laugh. Kratos leaves as he and Freya make their way deeper into Vanaheim. Freyr turns his head to you. He smiles.

“Oh what, you think a beheaded former advisor can really stop me from getting into any trouble?” Your laughter calms down into a slight chuckle as you look up at Freyr. All he sees is your sparkling eyes staring up at him through thick and curved eyelashes. For some reason unknown to him he can’t look away. Mimir sputters in the background about how he could do some damage if he was thrown horns first. You put a finger on your lips in contemplation. And that’s all it took for Freyr to be transfixed by your full lips. Soft. He’s sure of himself. Your lips would be incredibly soft. You speak but he doesn’t hear you. It’s not until you’re heading to Brok and Lunda that he realizes you even said anything at all. He shouts at you to repeat yourself.

“I said ‘You can get into all the trouble you want, because you’re definitely not the type of trouble I’m into.’ Ya dummy.” And with that you’re finally next to Brok as he introduces you to Lunda. As that is happening Mimir is staring directly at Freyr as he watches the god stare at you from across the camp. “I wouldn’t think about that brother. Kratos has a soft spot for the lass. We all do. Plus, she’s mortal. Let her live a normal life with one of her own when all of this is over.” Freyr sighs as he turns back to the table. “Are you always this much of a buzzkill?” And with that they come up with plans of attack against any and all Aesir troops in his home.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I’m here with chapter 6~. After rereading the latest chapter of The Pickpocket for the 50th time in a row I decided to finish up this chapter!

As you can tell there was a small timeskip at the beginning. Not a normal one. I still explained things but I did so quickly instead of trying to linger. Also… was that… flirting??? In my Minecraft Server?!???! By the way Reader wasn’t trying to flirt. She’s just a baddie and does it without even knowing. Trust me, you’ll see a chapter where she does try and flirt and it will not be like this. Lol.

Anyways thank you for reading, and say hello to my lovely readers. I will see y’all next chapter! Bye bye~.

10 & 20 for the fanfic writer asks!!

I love you and the fact that you always ask me these 🥰 fyi

10. If you could banish a single trope to live at the bottom of the ocean, never to be seen again by any human eyes (or at least your own), which trope would that be?

This is just my personal preference so no shade 😅 but I really dislike when endhawks fanfics have Enji calling Hawks ‘boy.’ I cringe and click away. It feels so out of character to their canonical relationship which becomes very equal from their second meeting and only shows up once in canon. I’ve also seen other translators mention that it actually translates closer to ‘kid’ in Japanese.

Moreover, I always picture those Kratos/God of War memes BOYYYYY 😂

As far as general tropes, I don’t have hate for any specific one. I think they can all be done justice.

20. Is there anything about any one of your fics that you have been dying to discuss but haven’t had the chance to?

This one isn’t published yet, but I have an Olympics themed AU endhawks fic in the drafts called Going For Gold. I’ve written some scenes that I’m really partial to and can’t discuss with anyone because it’s too incomplete to publish anything right now. Specifically some funny scenes of Rei and Enji reminiscing on when they were young Olympians and Shoto shocked to find out his parents were wild in their youth. As well as some emotional scenes that I think will play well.

———

Here’s a blurb for you:

“People are going to offer you drugs. Don’t do drugs! Drugs are bad,” Rei said, wrapping Shoto in a hug.

“Mom,” Shoto whinged.

Rei spun around to address Enji.

“Will you warn your son about drugs please?”

“Listen to your mother,” Enji began.

Shoto rolled his eyes.

“She knows from experience. One time at a house party, she did LSD with David Bowie and was still high the next morning. I had to call her coach and lie that she had food poisoning,” he continued.

Shoto’s jaw dropped and the other athletes turned their full attention to the conversation.

“WHAT?!”

“Don’t tell him that!” Rei cried.

“Mom.”

“Why are you shocked? Me and your dad used to be cool, you know. No wait! Drugs aren’t cool! Don’t do drugs!”

“Unless David Bowie offers. You can’t turn that down,” Rumi cut in.

Rei raised her hands in a ‘guilty as charged’ gesture.

“They probably don’t even know who David Bowie is. It was the 80s,” she said before shooting a playful glare at Enji, “You know, your father once took ten Jell-O shots in a club in a Rome-”

“Oh, don’t tell him this,” Enji protested.

“And threw up in the Trevi fountain. I had to flirt with the polizia so he wouldn’t get arrested.”

“Dad did?”

“We can talk about Budapest if you’re eager to share stories.”

“Do NOT,” Rei said threateningly.

———

On another note, one thing I want to discuss, but have no one to mention it to: My most popular fics are actually some of my less favorite ones 😂 IMO some of my less popular fics are objectively better written, but they are AUs (fun to write bc they give you more bandwidth for narrative storytelling, but generally less popular with readers- understandable bc as a reader I also gravitate toward canon fic over AUs)

Why am i not a comic artist..

I am just sitting here now and merging together classic myths, my headcanons and gow greek saga.

I just want Kratos, who became god of war not so long ago, to suddenly find Hebe staying under the door of his throne room (because she used to seek hideout at her elder brother's palace). She understood her mistake, that Ares is dead now, and tried to run away, but Kratos got her in, trying to figure out what he can do for this goddess. Hebe didn't talk much, but for Kratos it was obvious what's happened because of the huuuge bruise on her face, and she was quite about the fact that Kratos was the one who took a life of her brother, because on Olympus it was customary to say that Ares had gone insane long time ago and she was a good obedient girl, who stays quite with her thoughts.

Anyway, while Hebe healed herself, Kratos remembered that Ares told him (well.. more yelled) that his little sister was given to Hercules, the man who is a living disgrace his mother Hera, the man, who killed his daughter Hippolyta in the past and his son Kyknus, the man he must tolerate near his family because of the Zeus's laws.

And then Kratos left her at his palace and went to find Hercules. And he challenged him to sparring at his Forum. Hercules was very eager for a good fight. And Kratos fucking beated the shit out of him for raising a hand on his wife, like "nothing personal, but I despise men like you, do it again and I'll smash your head to the ground". Hercules was like "It was a good fight (so I regret nothing), maybe I will challenge you one day too, god of war". Kratos - visually disgusted - was "you'd better not."

Time passed, but Hebe never come again. She was grateful for protection even if it didn't change anything, but he wasn't her brother and she was a good girl, so she didn't want to bother Kratos again with her marriage problems (after that match Hercules started to speak about Kratos's murder really often and he looked scary af during this).

RANT INCOMING!

I have to talk abt this as this has been in my mind for months and this i think is the only safe space to talk abt the fandom and their weird antics towards the characters/actors and overall games.Im not against criticism but theres a line between criticizing and going overboard with hating.

One thing i dont understand abt the god of war fandom is that they complain about alot of things not being “accurate” and thats doesnt make sense to me bc when has gow ever been accurate? I thought it was obvious from the beginning that SMS wasnt going for that and never truly will. Its always their own interpretation. They also have this weird hatred / ignorance towards atreus that i also dont understand? Yea he was a little annoying in the first game but thats understandable as hes… a kid. Ragnarok expanded his character pretty well imo and i feel like alot of these people for some reason cannot get past him in general? Maybe because they are afraid of him taking over the series and “forgetting” kratos (idk why thats in their minds LOL) or they just hate him just because. I feel like the fandom wants kratos to forever be this god who destroys things and whatnot and its all so weird. like they never gave him a chance. thankfully he has fans but majority hates him. Dont even get me started on how they treat angrboda. Its really so ridiculous to me that they can be so hateful for no true reason. they call her a bitch for yelling at atreus when all the women in the game get annoyed or disappointed in him atleast once. And they dont understand that she has only known this prophecy shit for her whole life and she couldnt do anything outside bc of the threat. ofc shes angry bro LOLL its also in her name like i dont understand 😭.  Atreus helps her get out of that mindset and assures her she can do whatever she wants now. Laya is so strong idk how she does it :( I also noticed they treat thrud as this “replacement” of angrboda bc they dont like her either cuz shes black or bc they hate her and everything related to atreus but as long as he has a character they can like thats not angrboda its fine. Its all so weird bc theres no competition between the two. There never was. I dont think they actually like thrud for her character they just want to be weirdos and i feel kinda bad for her and mina bc they really dont give a fuck. Im so shocked chris sunny and others even INTERACT with this bullshit of a fandom they are all really strong bc id say fuck all of you and go 😭 im not against criticism at all and i try not to take this shit seriously but its hard when you see a insane group of people take alot of this shit to the next level. this fandom is a bunch of whiny babies who hold onto their precious destroyer too much. The hate everyone has gotten recently is just so stupid and they often times try to make it their goal to hate. I see that SMS is trying to diverge their fandom to a broader audience and they are taking a bit more risks esp with atreus and i love that despite the backlash against him, they continued with his character regardless. I hope they do the same thing with the other characters as well and expand them no matter how much these people want to hate and act all high and mighty. I can understand certain critiques like the ending being too fast or maybe they couldve done blah blah better and whatnot but i think alot of people are overreacting and being ridiculously nitpicky with alot of things when it comes to ragnarok. 

Last thing and also kinda random thing SMS is very wrong for what they did to TC Carson and i acknowledge that completely and i hope they never do smth like that to any of the current cast either bc i would be fucking pissed if so LOL

♪ Ramblings about God of War: Angrboda addition! ♪

I COULD SCREAM ABOUT ANGRBODA FOR HOURS

Angrboda is a chronically underrated character. Usually, when she is discussed it's always about Atreus. She's never really discussed as a character on her own. She's not just a two-dimensional love interest that's there for the sake of atreus' story. Don't get me wrong, she and Atreus are absolutely adorable together, but that's not the only thing Angrboda has going for her. She's caring, she's resourceful, creative, she's a great character! She has her own life outside of Atreus and Kratos, and I don't think people see that.

Angrboda went through an entire character arc in Ragnarok. No one really mentions the change in morals that she had after she met atreus, so im gonna talk about it. Before she met Atreus, she was completely driven by prophecy. To be fair, most of the story is driven by prophecy, but she is an extreme example. Her entire life was dictated by what the prophecy said. She did whatever she could to keep the prophecy accurate. Then Atreus came.

Atreus practically wrecked all of her morals (in a good way). He kept trying to convince her to do what she wanted to do, not the prophecies. At first, Angrboda was having absolutely NONE of it. Telling him that you just have to except whatever's on those shrines. He kept pushing and Angrboda kept pushing back. But I think the rock that broke the camels back (aka made Angrboda change her mind about prophecies) was all the things that her grandmother, Gryla, said to her.

I think the actions that Gryla took against Angrboda made her really reflect on her dedication to the prophecy. Gryla kept calling her unimportant, useless, and basically going deep into her deepest anxieties. I think Angrboda wanted to prove her wrong. Along with Atreus nudging her, I think she finally realized her importance.

By the time Angrboda decided to change her own fate, we (Atreus) left ironwood awhile ago. We just See her in Jötunheim looking for more giant marbles. When Atreus asks about it, she just says she's decided to write her own story, which goes completely against what she's been saying. And honestly, good for her man. She needs to live her life the way she wants to. My only complaint is THAT WE DIDNT GET TO SEE HER CHANGE HER MIND. WE DIDNT GET TO SEE HER MENTAL BATTLE. I WANTED TO SEE HER CHANGE HER MIND. Okay rant over i hope this makes sense💀

A/N: I will scream about anything god of war related so if you want something specific the ask box is open🤪 AHHH I LOVE ANGRBODA SO MUCH

Also; this is very old my newer posts are better I think maybe

Tales of the Rays: Mirrage Prison

CHAPTER 6: THE ATONING HERO AND REMORSEFUL CHOSEN (PART 6)

(Part 5) | (Part 7)

I’m so sad that Rays is getting shut down, so I want to work even harder to finish this chapter before it does. I wonder what the offline mode is going to be like… anyway! Here’s the next part! The Salvation Front and Mileena's Group have convened to exchange people and information. Lloyd and Kratos have some minor drama and Zelos comforts Lloyd.

Part 6 (6-6 Deserted Plains)

Zelos: …Hey, even if he’s a smart guy, isn’t your master a bit of a coward? ……なぁ、お前のご主人様頭はいいのに、ちょっと腰抜け過ぎない？

Zelos: He’s leaving you to do all the work talking with Mileena while he hides out nearby. ミリーナちゃんとの通信だってお前に任せてこの待ち合わせの場所でも姿を隠してよ。

Zelos: Even Gareth is here, no matter how awkward things are. ガロウズだって気まずいだろうにちゃんとここにいるんだぜ。

Gareth: Well, it is pretty awkward being here…but I had promised Minister Gefion I would take her that one time. そりゃまあ気まずいが……あの時ゲフィオン様を連れ出したのはゲフィオン様との約束だったからな。

Gareth: Well, I really do think that it’s about time that the Biqe met with Mileena. まぁ、ビクエ様もそろそろミリーナと会った方がいいとは思うけどな。

Zelos: Look, even Gareth says so. ほれ、ガロウズもこう言ってるぜ。

Mark: Let me turn that back at you, is there nothing in your life that you’d try to run from? じゃあ聞くが、あんたには逃げたくなるものが一つもないのか？

Zelos: There are a whole lot of things that my amazing self would run away from. But, Mileena isn’t one of them. そりゃ逃げたいものだらけよ、俺さまは。けど、ここでミリーナちゃんと対面しないでいつ会うんだよ。

Zelos: Look at Kratos right now. その点見てみるクラトスをよ。

Zelos: I could go on and on about how many things I hate about him, but I’ll give him this. At least he isn’t avoiding Lloyd right now. 色々気に入らねえが、こういう時にロイドを避けないところだけは認めてやってもいいぜ。

Kratos: ………！

Sync: So, now the Idiot Chosen is defending his daddy. 今度はパパを庇うんだね、バカ神子。

Zelos: What!? You stay out of this! はぁ！？お前大概にしとけよ！？

Shirley: …Um. I…can understand a little. I understand the feeling of running from someone you have to meet. ……あの。わたし……少しだけわかります。会わなければいけない人から逃げてしまう気持ち。

Shirley: I’m sure Phillip knows what he has to do, too. He just needs to find a little bit more courage… フィリップさんもきっと本当はわかっているんじゃないでしょうか。あと少しの勇気さえあれば、きっと……。

Kratos: …A little bit more courage, huh? ……少しの勇気か。

Zelos: Hah…! Shirley, you’re adorable! So brave! Do your best! I’ll never run away again, I’ll make sure I protect you! はぁ……！シャーリィちゃん、可愛い！健気！一生懸命！俺さま守ってあげたくなっちゃう！

[ Mark moves between Shirley and Zelos ]

Mark: Shirley, come over here. It’s not safe to stand so close to a ravenous beast. シャーリイ、こっちに来てな。飢えた野獣の近くにいるのは危ないからよ。

Zelos: Are you calling me a dangerous man? You know, Mark, you’re so right. I’m so sexy that it’s dangerous— 俺さまが危険な男だって？フッ、わかってるじゃないの、マーク君。そう、俺さまは危険と色香を——

Kratos: —It seems as if Mileena and the others are here. ——ミリーナたちが来たようだ。

Zelos: Eh!? Why do you guys always ignore me!? えー！？俺さまこのメンバーでもこういう扱い！？

[ Mileena Enters ]

Mileena: Mark!! Where’s Phillip!? マーク！！フィリップは！？

Mark: How about you take a guess… 察してくれると嬉しいねぇ……。

Mileena: …I see. ……そう。

Mark: So, before anything else, I have someone to hand over. で、話の前にこの子を引き渡す。

[ Mark brings Shirley out. Senel sees her ]

Senel: Shirley!! シャーリィ！！

Shirley: …Senel! ……お兄ちゃん！

Senel: I’m so glad you’re safe…! 良かった……無事だったんだな！

Shirley: These people here helped me. この人たちが助けてくれたの。

Senel: Thank you. ありがとう。

Zelos: Don’t worry about it. いいってことよ。

Lloyd: …Kratos. It’s really you. ……クラトス。本当にクラトスなんだな。

Kratos: …You look like you’ve grown strong. ……壮健なようだな。

Lloyd: …Yeah…uh…? More importantly, how come you’re with the Salvation Front? ……そう……け……？あ、いや、それよりどうして救世軍にいるんだ？

Kratos: …Various reasons. ……色々と��。

Lloyd: ………

Kratos: ………

Kratos: …In any case, I’ll be taking Ami. Phillip can have a look at her. ……ところでアミィを預からせてくれ。フィリップに見せる。

Chester: If so, I’ll go with you. Where Ami goes, I go. I can’t leave her alone. だったらオレも一緒に行く。アミィを一人にはさせられない。

Cress: I’ll go with you. 僕も行かせてもらいます。

Chester: Cress… クレス……。

Kratos: Is that all right, Mark? 構わぬだろう、マーク。

Mark: It’s fine, you have every right to be worried. ああ、心配するのは当然だろうからな。

Gareth: Is Cecily here too!? セシリイも来てるのか！？

Kocis: Oh, she was hiding back here. C’mon, Cecily, quit being so shy! あ、隠れてる。ほら、セシリィ何恥ずかしがってるんだよ！

Cecily: …Uh… ……あ……。

Gareth: Cecily! I’m so sorry, the Empire’s done terrible things to you and it’s all my fault… セシリィ！悪かったな、俺のせいで帝国に酷い目に遭わされたみたいで……。

Cecily: …Um…yeah. Uh…long time, no see, master. ……ん、ううん。あの……お久しぶり、師匠。

Gareth: Master!? Since when did you start calling me that!? 師匠！？お前いつから俺のことそんな風に呼ぶようになったんだ！？

Cecily: Eh? O-oh, I’m your master… But…fufu…Gareth, when did you get so…old? え？あ、だ、だって師匠だから……。でも……ふふ……。ガロウズ……師匠、老けたね。

Gareth: Huuuuuh!? はぁぁぁ！？

Cecily: S-sorry. Um, anyway, here’s a paper detailing our theory surrounding the use of Shing’s Soma to treat Ami that Mileena was talking to you about. ご、ごめんなさい。あの、これ、通信でミリーナが話していた、ソーマを利用した心核へのアプローチをまとめたもの。

Cecily: Please read it over, master. 確認してね、師匠。

Gareth: …? Y-yeah… ……？お、おう……。

Mark: I’ll be heading off now. If something comes up with Ami, I’ll give you a call. それじゃあ、そろそろ行くか。アミィのことがわかったら魔鏡通信で連絡する。

Lloyd: Oh, um, wait a sec. Kratos… umm— あ、ま、待ってくれ。と……クラトス、あの——

Kratos: —Take care, Lloyd. ——元気でな、ロイド。

Lloyd: Kratos!! Don’t just leave! I need to ask, are you my father!? クラトス！！ちゃんと話をさせてくれ！あんた、俺の親父なんだろ！？

Kratos: …I need to go. ……行くぞ。

     [ Kratos leaves ]

Zelos: …Don’t look so sad, honey. I’ll make sure I keep an eye on the old man for you. ……ハニー。そんなしょげた顔するなって。あのおっさんは俺さまが見張っとくからよ。

Lloyd: …Yeah. Thanks, Zelos. ……うん。ゼロス、ありがとう。

Currently Playing God of War - 20 Hours Update

September 19, 2024

I started playing God of War a couple weekends ago. It's definitely not my usual kind of game, but when you see it around so much you get a bit curious. Plus it was on sale for $9.99 on the Playstation Store, so there's that!

The game has been fun, but also very straightforward. However, I am finally at a point where I feel like, "Okay, okay, things are happening. THINGS ARE MOVING."

The PS App says I've been playing for 23 hours, but I think a few of those hours are standby since I pause the game so much. I'm just going to say I've been playing for 20 hours. Which... feels like too long, I thought I was maybe around 15 hours. *shrug*

First, Atreus is adorable. He balances Kratos's bluntness, and harshness with his empathy and care. (Though I would totally want Kratos on my team if the world was ending. Atreus too, for that matter. Boy is smart!)

A small sign of affection from Kratos. See, he does care. In his own way.

Kratos admiring the foliage.

Cool Lady Alert.

A magical forest.

The snowy landscapes in this game are very beautiful.

*Heart Eyes*

I loved this place, initially. But then later on it just blinded me.

Personally, I could do without.

Oh this part of the game made me want to cry. It was very hard to hear Atreus's sadness in his voice, especially when he is talking about his father.

So yeah, I'll be pretty crushed if anything happens to this boy.

Reading Atreus's notes is one of my favorite things to do. I love his commentary!

He got sassy and I loved it.

Kratos surprisingly gives great advice. Usually. I have a notebook where I've been writing anything good he says. (Will share later.)

We did so much for this light thing. (Getting blinded included.)

Yeah okay, his strength is impressive.

Mt. Gagazet lookin' place.

I can only post 30 pictures per post, so I left out some other pictures including a lot of beautiful photos I have of Freya's woods, but I'll share them on another post.

And here's where I am now. After going to that icy place and going through an incredible adventure of climbing towers and hammers and whatever the heck happened (it was a lot and I can't remember the names), Atreus got sick. He's with Freya while Kratos went back home to get his Blades of Chaos, which look so cool.

This is my first God of War game, but I recognize the blades from the cover of the old/first God of War games. Athena also showed up, Kratos said he is no longer her monster, so that's interesting. Obviously since I never played the first games, I don't know his history. But I'm definitely intrigued!

Nicknames

EDITED CAUSE I FORGOT TYR! oops🫢

Genre: Headcanons

Warnings: None

Summary: Your nick(pet)names for each other!

≫ ────── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ────── ≪

Kratos

Kratos doesn't do nicknames..

But every now and then, when you guys are alone and he's holding you, he'll call you “My Love”.

Other then that, he just loves your name.

However you have about a thousand nicknames for him.

Only a few nicknames stick around for a while.

Like; Love, Old Man, & Handsom.

Some of them are one hit wonders.

Mostly things related to recent events.

Most most of the nicknames flop.

All of them confuse the hell out of anyone who's recently met you too.

Calling him things like; cutie patootie, snookums, Pumpkin pie, Cuddle bear, softy, Cuddle butt, sweetie, sugar, love muffin, etc.

Noobody understands how any of them apply to the man your talking to, but their to intimidated to ask.

Kratos doesn't mind them; he’ll never say it, but he thinks they’re sweet.

Atreus thinks they are hilarious!

Mimir will totally tease him for them..

Atreus

Atreus would likely only ever call you an abbreviated version of your name.

But also one or two that comes up every now and then to tease you. 

Most likely related to an animal you resemble characteristically or physically.

You'd call him Tre, or cutie.

Whenever ‘Cutie’ comes out he blushes like crazy.

Even if he's heard it a thousand and one times.

Mimir

He's old-fashioned, so simple and sweet works for him!

He'd call you, Dear(my dear), Lovely, Honey.

And if nobody else is around: Sexy.

You'd keep it just as simple with him; sweetie, honey, hubby.

Or if your mad at him… ✨Bowlingball✨

Freya

She's not really ever put effort into giving you a nickname.

You don't think she's ever called you anything but your name, actually.

Yet you've called her, my love, beautiful, dove, & honey.

They never failed to make her smile.

And it’s not even the nickname, it's the look in your eyes when you say them.

So genuine and sweet she can't help it.

Sindri

This man is awful at nicknames!

He has never settled on one he likes for you.

Every time he tries a new one out he thinks it's horrible says it out loud and goes right back to the drawing board.

You don't think they are that bad.

You almost always call him Sin, or Sweetie.

‘Sweetie’- especially when you got that love-sick look in your eye- makes his knees weak.

They completely buckled the first time to said it.

Brok

Doesn't matter who’s around, if he's not calling you by your name, it's Hot Stuff.

You'd just call him Baby, or Brokie.

He loves ‘Brokie’, but he groans and complains when you say it cause it's of the teasing he gets from Sindri and the others.

He'll tell you, “Come up with something else!”

But you never will, and he's secretly grateful.

He just likes how cute you look when you greet him saying, “Hello, Brokie.”

Heimdall

Yeah.. He definitely doesn't do nicknames.

He has none for you.

The few times you've called him by a nickname(like Honey, sweetie, cutie) he just gives you side eye.

But he lets it slide cause he knows when you do it you're just teasing him.

Plus he enjoys your laugh when he gives you that look.

You don't dare to do that in front of others.

Tyr (sorry I forgot lol)

Tyr adores your little names for him.

Despite cranking your neck to meet his eyes, you call him nicknames that don't apply to his size.

Names like, Baby(often telling him “You're just a little baby.” All cute like.)

Calling him Tiny, Cuite, and to tease him Little Guy.

He thinks it's as funny as it is endearing.

In return he calls you Big Girl/Boy.

He loves the way it catches you off guard every time, makes him chuckle when your face goes red.

But in reality, he typically will address you as Love or Lovely.

“Hello, my Love.”

“You look wonderful today, Lovely.”

It's to the point where someone thought that was your name for a short while.

The irritation on Tyr’s face when they called you that by mistake. . .

“They didn't mean it, little guy.”

He just groaned and smile down at his Lovely.

I’m itching to write, but I'm running out of ideas! Someone give me ideas for oneshots, headcannons, something! Before I lose all motivation!

Kay, thanks, byyyeee!

[ilikedetectives]

Hii! I love your digital photography and content in general ❤️

I would like to know, what DLC are you referring to when you talk about the cursed Odyssey DLC?

I loved that game and your shots of Kassandra are just incredible!

Hi anon, thank you I'm thrilled to hear you enjoy my work 😊

It is Legacy of the First Blade DLC where regardless of what sexuality you play Kassandra/Alexios as, the DLC will force a wlm romance because the 'plot' demands a child, even if players refuse the love interest in the "option". So when you refuse, it ends with the LI coming back and bam, baby.

Before the backlash, the game will give you a "Growing Up" trophy after having the baby, because fuck you players for wanting choices in a dlc of a choice-based rpg game. Sorry you can choose to have orgy with a goat involved, kill your own family, and let the leader of the Cult live (after kissing her), but the decision to have a baby is too big for players.

Context for the baby? Kassandra is in the middle of a war, where Athen and Sparta at each other's neck and both have corruption from within due to the Cult. Mercenaries on all sides and want to hunt her down at any moment. She recently lost Phoibe, who essentially is her adoptive child (this pain still hurts her after 1000 yrs). Btw Kassandra is immortal (main game plot), she lives from 438BCE all the way to 2018 so idk why bother with bloodline. Anyway, so ofc having a baby in the middle of all this plus taking 1-2yrs off to play house is a great idea.

This lousy plot is only to connect Odyssey and Origins together, because bloodline, which is ironic because bloodline has been irrelevant since Black Flags (Animus got an upgrade) and said bloodline in Origins (essentially Kassandra's descendant, Amunet/Aya's only child, Khemu) got killed off in the few hours. So all of this just to say, oh Kassandra and Amunet are related, but nothing else meaningful comes out of that. And anything from this dlc is never mentioned again in any story going forward (which is good imo), even in the new Kassandra crossover in AC Valhalla they mentioned Phoibe.

In terms of chemistry Kassandra has with the dude, I'll put it this way: Kratos has better chemistry with his dead wife who never appeared on screen. Actually, I rather choose the dude's father, he's a true gilf.

So when I hear about something similar with Minthy, saying I feel like I somehow dodged a missile is an understatement.

[goron-king-darunia]

Annon-Guy: While I don't know if they'll do this, but if the 18 Symphonia characters (Emil, Marta, Tenebrae, Richter, Aqua Alice, Decus, Lloyd, Colette, Genis, Raine, Sheena, Zelos, Regal, Presea, Kratos, Mithos and Seles) trained an apprentice in their fighting style and techniques, how would they do so?

Case in point, here's another Street Fighter 6 Video to give you an idea. It shows the 18 Base Roster characters (or Masters as they're called) teaching your custom character in World Tour Mode their fighting style once you become their student.

https://youtu.be/Nm5ww1Q-sS0?si=cbH0Chvd2nWwUBE4

Emil: Peak teacher mentality but very bad at the job. Would be extremely kind and patient but he doesn't know how he learned half the things he knows because he learned them through muscle memory and Ratatosk. Bad at explaining techniques but if you learn by watching and doing, he'd be a good teacher.

Marta: Annoying Cheerleader type teacher that praises even your failures as "good attempts." Her very unique combat style means she can either explain it perfectly or not at all. Less patient than Emil but would definitely work with you.

Tenebrae: If it was even possible to teach you how to summon monsters to help you, he'd be snide and pompous about it. Not to the point of making you cry from frustration, but he would gloat a lot about how superior natural techniques are. Would explain things very thoroughly with 12 hour lectures. Would praise you for doing well but his teaching strategy would literally be sitting to the sidelines and watching you mess up while yelling unhelpful pointers and going "I covered this in the lecture, were you not paying attention?!"

Richter: Would be surprised you're even coming to him for help because he's self-taught and nowhere near the best fighter or teacher. Would calmly go over basic techniques, but also throw you into practical lessons really quickly. Would give you light praise for your success and be as frustrated at himself as he is at you when you fail. He's learning with you as much as he is teaching you. Most likely of all the candidates to teach you to kill with one strike because canonically he's got some weird mix of "if you kill them fast then they can't hurt you" and "if you kill them fast, you end their suffering" nonsense going on. That is to say, if you spar with him he will hold no punches and expect you not to hold back either and he will point out all the places you're leaving open and will punctuate all his victories with a snide little "Killed you" when he hits anywhere vital during the sparring matches.

Aqua: Would literally guide your body for necessary fighting movements if that was her fighting style. Much more patient than Tenebrae. Honest but not rude with her critiques. Would be obnoxiously peppy when you fail and obnoxiously squealy when you succeed.

Alice: Would beat the shit out of you and call it "training." Would teach you to kill slowly and painfully. Would mock your failures and be snide and gloat about your success. Would absolutely train you explicitly to use you to do her dirty work and would never teach you a technique that she doesn't know how to counter. Will never teach you everything she knows because she doesn't want anyone who can be a match against her.

Decus: Would be functionally useless explaining anything and would talk about Alice the whole time. Would stink up the entire arena with his Eau de Seduction and call it a secret technique. Would teach you everything he knows, but poorly on accident so you'd never be able to best him anyway.

Lloyd: Bad at explaining, excellent at practical training. Probably the most normal dude to take lessons from. Equally critical and supportive, but 100% positive.

Colette: Useless at both explaining and practical training but will accidentally succeed in teaching you how to be very good with those chakrams somehow. 10/10 would accidentally slice her hand trying to retrieve her weapon out of a tree during training and accidentally give you trauma about it which inadvertently teaches you exactly how NOT to handle a Chakram so you learn how to properly handle them by coincidence. Very gentle and supportive.

Genis: 10 hour lecture on the practical application of magic that's actually really useful but functionally useless at teaching you how to focus because he literally hacked his own brain with a Kendama so unless you ALSO want to spend 12 hours a day getting good at Kendama, you're only as good as your own focus. Very nitpicky and will repeat the same information 6 times until it clicks. Believes in doing things the "right way." Supportive but a little bossy.

Raine: 20 hour lecture on the history of magic, 20 hour lecture on the practical applications of magic. Will smack your knuckles with a ruler for casting magic even a little bit "wrong" or different from how she teaches you but will also unleash absolute chaos magic nobody has ever heard of as a demonstration. Supportive but VERY STRICT. Will 100% punish you for not being able to recite things she lectured you on. You will either come out of the ordeal as the best mage on par with Raine herself, or you will emerge never wanting to use magic again and be so bruised up from all her "teaching."

Sheena: Very supportive but very cautious and paranoid. Will make you train for YEARS just learning how to commune with Verius before even getting close to practical summoning. And that's assuming more than one living summoner can pact with a spirit at a time. As for the Ninja stuff, she WILL sit by the sidelines and make you run parkour and obstacle courses for 6 hours a day, all while she stands by with a drink and a stopwatch. 90% of her non-obstacle course training is about how to get out of a hole. Very useful but even if you don't have knowledge from the skits in the games you would definitely pick up on the fact that she's only so good at getting out of holes because she's shit awful at avoiding falling into them.

Zelos: Cocky bastard that will slap your ass with the flat of his blade if you're too slow in combat. Will teach you combat "hacks" that basically boil down to: If you're in a sticky situation and you can't fight your way out of it, either charm your way out of it or make your opponent SO UNCOMFORTABLE that they give up. Very straightforward and very heavily leans on practical training. Will praise you and tease you.

Regal: Will teach you techniques strong enough to kick the skull clean off a charging bull and will somehow also teach you how to NOT kill people doing it. Actively teaches you diplomacy and non-lethal techniques before getting anywhere close to practical training. Literally Toriel Dreemur from Undertale.

Presea: 30% of her training is just about how to hold the ax and use it as an ax, 10% of her training is practical combat, 10% is on care and maintenance of your ax, and the other 50% is how to make SO MANY CHARMS. "Why fight if you can just make a little bear charm and make friends? Here's a 5 hour workshop on whittling, let's go."

Kratos: 90% critique, 10% praise, 100% practical. Will also guide your body into the correct stances and movements. Won't hold back during sparring and expects you not to either. Will use his wings in combat without thinking and be momentarily confused when you don't because he spent thousands of years in the exclusive club of "people with wings" and forgot that normal people aren't like that.

Mithos: Will dance circles around you the whole time and mock you relentlessly. Anything you learn from him will be something he let slip during gloating or from watching him. Unless you're a half elf in which case it's a three decade lecture on how to conjure the most insane angelic magic on the planet. 10/10 would have taught Genis a spell called "Nuke God" if such a spell existed and if their friendship had lasted longer. No joke. Will teach you to kill without thinking because life has never shown him mercy so why should he have to think about showing any? But if he hits you in battle on accident and draws blood he will absolutely carry you to the hospital himself and bandage your wound with 5 layers of extra gauze and antibiotic cream even though you keep insisting that it's just a papercut. Would also probably forget his own strength and snap your neck on accident. It's 50/50.

Seles: Will teach you illegal spells like it's nothing. Will fake an asthma attack during sparring just to hit you in the taint with her sword. Will 100% be the best option to teach you to fight while using mobility aides and other tools to your advantage. Will also teach you how to throw a normal chair in 6 unique and deadly ways. Knows Guerilla tactics and uses them. Will praise you. Will expect you to hold back during sparing matches but 100% will never hold back. I think she could have killed Mithos on her own, no cap. As a secret party member in the OG game she really didn't get much build up, personality, or payoff, but I guarantee her ass would have slain Mithos without even blinking.

Olden Times. Modern Thinking.

(Heimdall/Modern!Reader)

Summary: You know things you’re not supposed to. You behave oddly. And the way you speak is even odder. Kratos, Mimir, and Atreus have no idea if they should believe your ramblings of another world and of a future they have no way of knowing is real. But, you seem harmless enough. Plus, Faye may rise from her grave if they let a poor woman freeze to death in their forest, right outside their home no less.

Chapter 5

When you woke up you heard no noise. Or, rather, no chatting. What you would expect to hear if Kratos and Atreus had returned. No you only heard the clanking of metal on metal. The same noise you fell asleep to. With a small groan you swiveled your legs off of the bed and cracked your back. A small yawn echoed around the small room before you opened up the door. You looked around to see no one. The only other person was Brok working in his smithy.

“Where is everyone? I thought they’d be back by now?” You asked while spinning around the main room. Hoping to spy Atreus reading a book perhaps. But no, they weren’t here. Brok stopped his hammering before answering you gruffly.

“They went to Svartalfheim. Apparently the little runt thinks Týr is alive and being held captive there. So Sindri took him and Kratos to see if they can bust the fucker out.” You probably slept through the small exchange before they departed. That’s a shame. You really wanted to see Mimir yell at the Huldra brothers for their, rather ingenious invention.

“Oh.”

“What? Am I not good enough company for the little mortal?” He bellowed in exasperation. You being, well you, decided to poke fun at him.

“I mean… yea pretty much.” You noticed Brok finally turned around from what he was doing to finally pay his full attention to you.

“Ex-fucking-scuse me, Princess?”

“You’re excused.” With a small and short ‘BAH’ he continued his work. But you did notice a slight smile on his face. You walked away, feeling good enough to leave knowing he didn’t take your teasing to heart. You walked up to a book case across the room, gliding your fingers over each and every spine. Your mind raced with thoughts of having to come clean about all that you knew. If they came back with Týr the Imposter in tow then how would you be able to tell anyone anything without tipping off Odin? You glance back at Brok. Knowing what’s to come for him and poor Sindri. It was difficult for you to know what to do. You glance back at the book case. You picked up one randomly and and opened it somewhere in the middle. You read the title on top of the page.

The Oath of Truce

(Tryggthamól)

‘…and wherever men gather together, there shall ye be so agreed as though this matter had never come between you. Ye shall share
  both steel and steaks
  and all the things
  that are betwixt you,
  like friends and not like foes.’

Fuck. Is this the world trying to tell you something? Fine. No more secrets. Secrets are what led to so many deaths and unnecessary hardships in this world. And you aren’t going to help that along. You place the book back on the shelf and turn towards the blue dwarf.

“Brok?” You took a few steps closer to his work station. Slowly, almost as if you were afraid to spook him. But truthfully you were the one that was afraid.

“Oh what? Finally gonna admit you just might like my presence around after all?” He chuckled. You smiled. And earnestly told him that of course you like having him around. He’s kinda an ass. But a funny ass. And humor can make up for a lot.

“But that’s not what I wanna talk about. This might not make sense but…” breath in. Breath out. “If you had knowledge of the future. And you knew a lot of bad things would happen, some even preventable, would you try and stop it?” He scrunches his eyebrows together and asks where this was all coming from. “Atreus told you and Sindri that I’m not from this world. And I’m not. But there’s a lot more to it than just that. I know things. Things about this place and how certain things are gonna play out.” You finally step up to the work table and stare down at him. “Týr is alive. That’s true. It’s also true that he’s locked up somewhere. But the Týr that is being brought back here is not the real one. He’s a fake. It’s Odin. Please you have to believe me. I know I sound out of it and crazy but we need to figure out a way to keep him out of this house.” With that small piece of information off your chest you felt like you can finally breathe again. Sure, you didn’t spill your guts on everything you knew, but it was a start. You look down towards Brok, eyes slightly watering. Lying is easy, but telling the truth is fucking hard. Brok holds his breath for a moment before billowing out a barely there laugh.

“Ok, well that sounds like a load of crockshit but weirder things have happened before.” You had a pleading look in your eyes and before you can beg for him to believe you some more, he continued. “Look, don’t go all teary eyed on me. I don’t need anyone thinking I yelled at ya or somethin’.” You wiped you eyes. “And if what you say is really true then why didn’t you tell the bozos before they went galavanting off to find the fucker?”

“I didn’t know how to tell them! I didn’t know how to bring it up! How do you expect I go about telling literal gods that I know their entire life story?” He squints up at you before asking, “So the Týr thing isn’t the only thing you know. What all else you got locked up in that big ol’ head of yours?”

“A lot.” You bite your lip. “Everything.”

“Streð mik. Ok well, we can’t get rid of him outright or he’ll think somethings up.” You nod. Sounds good. Odin already thinks you might be a key to stopping Ragnarok and you don’t want to confirm that yes, you are one, to his face.

“So… what do we do?” He looks at you sternly. “Nothin’.” What?

“What do you mean we do nothing? How is that gonna help anything?” He rolls his eyes before he turns his back towards you. Working on God only knows what.

“If you haven’t forgotten, you’re mortal. You can’t DO anything. Especially against someone as conniving as the All-Fucker himself. We lay low. Watch him. And I highly suggest you find someway to get Kratos alone so you can tell him everything you know.” He turns around, feeling the grimace on your face as you say nothing. “And I mean everything.”

“But… what if there are some things that are better left… unsaid?”

“Don’t start that shit with me.” You sigh and make your way back to your room. “Fine. Let me know when they’re here if I’m asleep.” Brok scoffs before saying you can wake your damn self up. Rolling your eyes you close your door and wait for your inevitable doom. Why does Kratos have to be so damn intimidating?

It doesn’t take long for everyone to return to the house. Imposter in tow. You walk out of your room and are greeted by Atreus. He beckons to you wildly. Most likely wanting you to meet this God he thinks so highly of. Oh if only he knew. You step forward with a small awkward smile on your face. “(Y/n) this is Týr. Like from all the stories I’ve told you about. Týr this is (Y/n), the human we told you about.” He turns to you, the same golden eyes that you’re used to seeing from Mimir staring back at you.

“Oh, so you must be the girl from… another time was it?” You nod. “Yea, something like that.” He hums. “In all my travels I haven’t heard of a story quite like yours. Excuse me but I would love some rest without Odin’s eyes on me. But after, I would like to continue our talk. I’m sure you have some very fascinating stories.” You nod once more in acceptance before turning away and letting him rest. Atreus catches up to you and asks what you think. About Týr you presume.

“Uh ya know… he’s a dude I guess?” He gives you a look as to say ‘Really?’ “Look, I don’t know what you want me to say. I’ve never prayed to any gods back home and I certainly won’t be now.”

“That’s not what I’m trying to get at and you know that. It’s just…” he sighs. “We’re finally closer to getting answer. Answers to questions I’ve been asking myself for so long. We’re not there yet. But we are one step closer. Can’t I be happy about that?” You stare at him with a knowing look in your eyes. “Of course you can be happy about that Atreus. Honestly, that’s all I’ve ever wanted for you. And your dad. Happiness. You both deserve that. But please, don’t let the prospect of answers cloud your judgement.” Atreus reaches out to you as you walk away.

“(Y/n)…”

“Look, I’m just a bit tired ok. I think I’m going to get some rest.” And with that you walked back in to your designated room.

“She’s been sleeping a lot lately. Is she ok?” Atreus sighs. “Yeah Sin, she’s fine. Let’s just leave her be for now.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I’m back from the dead! Not really. Look I’ve been an Obey Me mood lately and I still am tbh. Those demon boys do something to me fiercely but I’ve been rewatching Ragnarok and also been rereading one of my fave HeimdallxReader stories and I got hit with a bit of motivation. (If you haven’t read The Pickpocket by @engardeitsme then you are missing out.

I know it’s not the longest chapter but I’m bored with just writing a play by play of the game because the reader can’t be there for most of it. So there will be a bit of a time skip starting off next chapter but it’s all good. Hopefully that’s not too bothersome.

And with that here are my lovely readers and I’ll see all of you, next chapter, byeeee!

[feathered-serpents]

pssst... i am thirsting for more angrboda headcanons, is this the place? 👀🕵🏽 you got any for me today pal?

Hello! So! This has been in my ask box for a while and I've been thinking about how to answer it... I don't think these are exactly headcanons and more just an analysis of her character and where I think/hope it'll go... might not be exactly what you asked for but I hope you enjoy!

I think Angrboda has a lot of unprocessed trauma and grief that I DESPERATELY want to see her actually process.

Her life has been hard, VERY hard, and it's easy to forget that because she's so nurturing, kind, and funny but she has NOT had an easy lot. Angrboda knows that too, and she knows how unfair it is, but she uses "You can't change fate" as a shield from the pain all that brings

You can see this in the game. She's very gentle with Atreus 90% of the time, but when it comes to anything prophecy related, she's suddenly very harsh. The way she almost screams "This is the only way things turn out! The sooner you accept that the better!" at Atreus when he's obviously devastated over his father's predicted death tells me that she holds onto that view of fate desperately. It HAS to be true because if it isn't then she didn't have to live like this, her parents didn't need to die, and her grandmother didn't need to lose herself. That is just too painful to face

But... she's going to have to because Atreus was right. Atreus really did save his father, he averted fate. She's started taking some steps in that direction, and that's good! Her saying "I've decided to figure out the ending myself" is the first step on this journey she's going to go on, and it's going to be a hard journey

I don't think she's ready to face the painful part yet, but, I think it won't be long until it hits her. I want so desperately for her to have a moment sometime in the near future where it all just... hits her at once. Atreus was right which means... none of it had to happen. Her father could have done something to avert his fate, and if he had just tried...

I want her to think back to that last conversation with her father, where he said he was sorry he couldn't protect her, that she would have to grow up alone, and I want her to be angry. Especially if she hears Atreus and Kratos' line "Don't be sorry, be better." She thinks back to that moment when her dad chose not to be better, just to be sorry

And because I'm me I want this to happen with Atreus present. Especially after Atreus and Kratos have a moment and something just breaks in her. She runs off and when Atreus finds her she's clearly devastated, and when she finally talks she says something like "I see how hard you and your dad try... my father never tried that hard. I don't- I think that means I wasn't worth it."

And well... let me know if you want that 1500+ word fic because I'm a hair's breadth from writing it, but for now, I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.

I just want her to GRIEVE I want her to let herself feel everything she's forbidden herself from feeling, and I want her to have the support of Atreus and his family while she does it.

I love her SO MUCH and I want her to FINALLY be treated and loved in the way she deserves to be
