Part 9

______________________________

It was now morning, the air was humid and the chariots were lined up, everyone on the sidelines was packed with food, every second you wish you were in those benches

"One... Two.... Three... GO!" Tantalus yelled and the campers roared

The Ares chariot was quick, but the Hermes chariot led by the not twins Travis and Connor Stoll, Connor was shooting rocks in between the wheels of chariots

Leading first is the Hephaestus chariot led by Charles Beckendorf and his brother, second is Poseidon Chariot led by Percy Jackson and Tyson the cyclops

No way you were going to let them win

Your sister Yvonne Bailey Daughter of a multi-million fashion designer grabbed some arrows, her step mother (Aphrodite approved) was an Olympic archer, she taught Yvonne everything she knows

Which is lucky because in this race your opponents either throw arrows or bombs, even luckier cause someone on the Aphrodite cabin knows how to make arrow bombs (you duh)

And you may or may have not taken green arrows design but it's not like he can sue you, I mean come on you're dead

"No hard feelings (Name)" Annabeth smiles as her chariots bumps yours

Yvonne recovering from the shock stood up again quickly "You did not just do that", she prepared an arrow and shot at their left wheel, tried to shoot at least

The arrow instead hit the Hermes chariot and it crashed onto the Hephaestus chariot

Well they say it's better to destroy two chariots with one arrow

Now it was just You and Yvonne, Annabeth and her brother, Percy and Tyson

AND CLARISSE LA RUE????

For some reason, even if they were stuck at the back of the track trying to get he ricks out of their wheels, they managed to bypass the other burning down chariots in their way

It was fine, you liked a challenge, Then Stymphalian birds (flesh eating demon birds) started raining down from the sky and started pecking at the campers

A flock of these birds started to attack your chariot, without thinking you grabben an arrow and shit at them...

... without proper space distance, making the explosion close to you chariot

Yvonne grabbed you and ducked down and the horses who were carrying your chariot went feral trying to avoid the demon birds themselves

Percy who slipped out of the race, managed to grab a boom box and played this awful music that made the birds screech, but stopped them from attacking

The Apollo kids took this as a chance to shoot them down

And when you thought it was over, Clarisse came running through with her chariot and won the race

Despite the injuries of the racers and the non racers, they cheered

______________________________

Jason grumbled at the sight of his family, gloomy, "Hey, Breakfast has been ready for hours now, Duke is waiting!"

"I know but I found new information, according to here, Empousa only drink the blood of their victims, not eat them, that would mean there is still a body-" Tim has been researching every Greek monster ever since, trying to find a clue on how to see them properly

Diana had explained this most that covers the mortal eye from the divine world, with the announcement that the gods are real...

People have been starting to get stressed, since the most is still in effect, people are accusing each other of being monsters in disguise

"I don't get why you're doing so much for a fake" Jason glared, true he was shocked at the death, but... It's not like this was the first time (Name) died

The little replacement to protect dad's sanity was dead, so?

______________________________

According to Tantalus, we should be punished, because according to him the stymphalian birds were just minding their business and only attacked because they were bothered by Percy's horrible chariot driving

"go chase a donut!" Percy stomped off as Tantalus continues to yell at him and Tyson scurries behind behind Percy

I grabbed a piece of fruit from a table that managed to survive the attack and waved it around so Tantalus could see

And I ate it in front of him.

"Okay you too! Both you and Percy and the monster will be washing the dishes tonight" he yelled

Annabeth's brows furrowed "That's not fair! (Name) Just ate! You can't punish her for eating!"

"you're punished as well! Everyone cleans this mess! And make dinner for Clarisse if you want, a banquet or something, but stay the fuck away from my sight" now it was Tantalus's turn to stomp away

______________________________

(Name): eats*

Tantalus who was cursed to never eat: I'm offended

"so... how are we gonna break it to him?"

jason looked up from his book, his glasses sliding back up his nose. "break what to who?"

"you know.. break it to leo that y/n might not like him?" percy gestured, before throwing his turtle plushie up like a ball.

frank blinked owlishly at him. "what gave you that idea?"

the other boy caught the plushie and paused. "what do you mean?"

"isn't it super obvious that they both like each other and are mutually pining over each other?" jason closed his book. "like, i didn't see it at first, but it was so obvious after leo finally followed her."

"she does? wait, so i wasn't actually lying to leo when i was hyping him up?" percy sat up, his face brightened at knowing that he was guilt-free.

"well, i wouldn't say you weren't lying-" frank started before the door slammed open.

"are you guys having a gossip session? without me?" leo appeared in the doorway of poseidon's cabin, an utterly aghast expression on his face. "um, what the actual flip?"

"there is no way you just said that."

"i was using it ironically!"

alldaladiesluvleo shared a note "having a gossip session without me is a new low i hate ALL OF YOU FOR REALS THIS TIME" ╰┈▸ loveloveyn replied to your note "STOP WHY DID MY FRIENDS LITERALLY DO THE SAME THING"

leo went back to his bunker after frank had shoved him back out the door. he was taking a much needed phone break after working on another contraption he had yet to finish. "holy shit!" leo almost dropped the phone on his face after getting the notification. oh my gods, she just texted me! play it cool! but playing it cool was not wired into his brain.

‎‏alldaladiesluvleo ‏‏does that mean were matching rn ‎‏‏‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎loveloveyn‏‎ omg i think so

you sent the message before you could think about it. wait, wait wait. does that count as flirting? that's gotta count as flirting, right? a giddy smile spread across your face as you rolled over in bed. the "group meeting" annabeth had shooed you away from was quickly forgotten, replaced by your current conversation with leo.

loveloveyn ‏‏so like if ur friends left u and MY friends left me.. alldaladiesluvleo ..we should totally ditch them and hang out tgt‎‏‏‎?? loveloveyn ‏‏YESS

we're actually gonna hang out! leo sat up in shock. was it that easy!? he started to regret the months of longing glances and waiting around for nothing. was i was too forward? i wasn't, right? she used all caps and an extra letter at the end so that must mean she wants to hang out too, right? yeah! without his designated hypeman, he had to go and hype himself up.

alldaldiesluvleo going to ur cabin rn

"what the fuck!?" you rolled out of bed in a panic and tripped on the mess of clothes you had yet to put into your wardrobe. you muttered another curse and hauled yourself up to look in the mirror. the sight before you was not one to behold; your bedhead was crazy, your camp half-blood shirt was wrinkled, and your makeup was smudged from your unplanned nap.

you took a brush and combed it through your hair, trying to get the knots out as quick as humanely possible. drew watched your fix-up frenzy from her perch, legs swinging over her bunk. "someone's got a date!" she smirked. "you look disgusting. need some help?"

"don't think there's any time," you grumbled, trying clean up your smudged mascara and smooth out your shirt. "now do i look like i didn't just get out of bed?" you spun around in a slow circle under her watchful eye.

she shrugged at your stunning presentation. "you look as good as you can get? now go and have fun with your ugly boyfriend." drew hopped off her bunk and pushed you to the door.

"he's not ugly! and he's not my boyfriend!"

"yet!"

drewtanakax shared a note "hate couples praying on their downfall rn (JUST DATE ALREADY)"

"hey," leo waved as he reached the cabin. you were just about to flip drew off when you caught sight of him.

"hey!" you waved back, already feeling the nervousness creep up on you. shit, i didn't think this through! what if he thinks i'm weird for acting like we were already friends?

"so." leo's voice broke you out of your thoughts. "shitty friends we have, huh?"

"totally," you nodded. "like, that was just so unbelievably rude. after all we've done, too." you put a hand over your heart dramatically.

"exactly! i thought they were like, my best friends. where am i ever gonna find a replacement?" he gave you a pointed look, his eyebrows raised as if he was waiting for you to say something.

you took the hint and grinned. "hey! i could be your new bestie!"

"really!? you're a lifesaver!" in a spur of the moment, leo took your hands in his and jumped up and down.

you laughed and jumped along with him, caught up in his enthusiasm.

"that means.." leo stopped bouncing, a mock serious expression on his face. "we have to show them what they're missing by having the most fun day ever!"

"yeah!"

drewtanakax shared a story caught these bitches frolicking in the fields can they go die

FableSMP EPIC the musical AU

whole thing comes from the perspective of Midas (as Quixis specifically) being Scylla, which means Icarus has to be Odysseus, which is also fitting tbh.

this is only based on the released sagas bc i dont have the vibe of the future characters yet (i dont look at a whole lot of snippets). also dont think about any of the blood family stuff too hard - theres nothing weird dw but it just makes stuff complicated with the gods

Monsters

Scylla - Quixis Midas

The ideas of Scylla being human turned monster, Midas is human turned Quixis, which in this universe could be something of a replacement for monstrous, which also works with 

Spooky bitch Midas propaganda

Look at my edit to be even more convinced

Polyphemus - Leviathan/Vorago

Probably makes most sense with Leviathan

Instead of the parent/child relationship with Poseidon they're siblings (ocie is poseidon)

Humans/Dead people

Odysseus - Icarus

Icarus has to be Ody because of Midas being Scylla

The song Monster

The conflicts within the plot work well with Icarus’ own relationships

Eury and Ody see each other as brothers, even though it isn't’t blood. Maybe they’re not blood related in this AU

Eurylochus: Rae

Brothers!!

Rae is seen as the leader of Lodestar, which works well with Eury’s place as the voice of the crew

Penelope: Centross??

prison duo

but it actually works because Icarus would do anything for him. just look at season 3

he's probably not smart enough to be penelope but the agenda is more important than that

Telemachus: Oscar

Ik Oscar isn't Icarus' kid but he is Centross and theoretically Centross would've been the one to raise him anyway

See Legendary

Polities: Athena

Optimist

Song open arms

"everything's changed since polities"

Perimedes: Caspian

Perimedes is the one who stabs Odysseus in the back to stop him from killing Eurylochus in Mutiny

For Rae? Cas wouldn't hesitate

Tireseas: Haley

Dead prophet

who else

Ody's dead mom: Isla

Isla is Icarus' mom??? In this AU??? /s

Gods

Zeus: Fable

Orignially this was Epros but I was convinced to change it

Massive ego

Yellow

Actual reasons in this post

Athena: Enderian

This could also be fable but I dont think Icarus would defy him like how he does

Goddess of the Mind, need I say more

Aeolus: Aurelius

They have the vibes I think

Aeolus is gender and so is Aurelius

There are a lot of options I think

I like the idea of the Winions(?) being the piglins they had in their bunker

Poseidon: Ocie

Ocean

At the beginning Ocie is so ready to kill people, she does not care for human life. Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

She would do that for Vorago

Canon compliant beef with Icarus 

Circe: Momboo

My first thought was Ven because I'm a fucking dumbass

It makes so much more sense than Ven

Plant lady, plant witch

badass

girlboss

pretty woman

Hermes: Rakai

They have the vibes

One of the very few gods to tolerate Icarus

gender

Apollo: Malitae

Apollo sounds so fruity in god games

Apollo cares most about music in god games which is a form of expression so i think it fits for Malitae to be him

Hephaestus: Nexus

In god games Hephaestus' thing is trust, he's pissed that Ody betrayed his crew

Nexus is the Goddess of Loyalty so it fits really well that she'd be upset about that

Nexus was also a knight so being a god of blacksmithing isn't too far from that

Aphrodite: Soul

Aphrodite cares about Ody's mom's broken heart

If we thing of it in the context of soulbonds it makes sense that Soul would be upset about that

Ares: Netherum

Ares is the only one in god games to match Athena's power, which checks out - major god to major god

Maybe its a bit ooc for Netherum themself

But god of destruction as the god of war. thats something

Would totally step in for Soul

Hera: Perix

In this AU we ignore family dynamics- Perix is not married

Calls Athena "baby" (kinda gay)

Fits the vibe

can you come up with a better idea? no, nor could I (credit to Sardar106 for this casting lol)

Calypso: Ven

They're so "This could never really happen but let us pretend"

"I wish we could've been something"

Look at this post (person who reblogged has better words than me go read that)

thank you for coming to my au talk. please share your own thoughts and opinions (but also remember that i am objectively correct all of the time /j)

Updated after Wisdom Saga

[deathmetalunicorn1]

The reader (Replacement Fighter) and the gods/humans got invited to a wedding. The guys begged them to wear something that was not black, but the reader was not having it as they've always been obsessed with the color black. They tried to run out of the changing room, telling the guys they'd rather not attend, but the guys insisted. Some even tried pulling on the reader's arms or clothes. They finally settled with something that wasn't black for once in their life.

However as the wedding carried on, there was some drama (you can decide what it was about) stirring up amongst the other guests. But the reader being reader, they just indulged in the cupcakes nearby as everyone else was either arguing or fighting.

Gods: Odin, Thor, Poseidon, Hades, Aphrodite, Loki, Buddha & Apollo

Humans: Lubu, Sasaki, Qin & Tesla

-You scowled softly, arms folded across your chest as (Love) was holding up a different colored suit to you, something that wasn’t black.

-You had a very particular taste in your wardrobe, mainly anything black, as it was the color you liked and you knew you looked good in, “It’s a wedding, why can’t I wear my black suit?”

-(Love) was rather amused by your unwillingness to wear a different color, “Because the invitation said that nobody is to wear black, except for shoes.”

-You groaned, falling back on your bed like a toddler which made (Love) laugh, finding it rather amusing, seeing you acting like a child as you threw an arm over your face.

-After a moment you sat up, your pout still on your face as you looked at the different suits (Love) had prepared and you pointed at the dark purple one, as it was the darkest colors that had been presented to you, “Just for the wedding.”

-Several hours later, you walked into the wedding reception with (Love), stunning all who saw you in something that wasn’t black! You looked good in color- you should wear color more often, or at least that’s what everyone told you when they came over to you.

-(Love) was pleased that you were wearing something appropriate for the wedding, as everyone was in various colors, leaving only the happy couple in black, standing out against the sea of various colors, which you did have to admit looked good.

-(Love) was looking for you about ten minutes later, and after stalking the dance floor, thinking someone might have dragged you out there, they went to the one place that they knew you would be, the buffet table!

-And there you were, a plate in hand, trying the various sweets available at the massive dessert bar. (Love) couldn’t help but laugh, thinking it was amusing as they walked over.

-You offered them your plate, offering them a treat as your attention was on something else now.

-(Love’s) gaze followed your own and you saw two of the bridesmaids squaring up with one of the groomsmen, who was cheating on them both with each other, and they just found out.

-The drama was way more interesting than catching the bouquet or playing games, as you watched these bridesmaids tearing this boy down, both leaving him, reducing him to tears, which you mentioned to (Love), “Why do the cheaters always try to act like the victims? Is it to get sympathy?”

-(Love) didn’t answer, munching on a mini cupcake, as you watched this pathetic space for a man pleading with both women, begging one, then the other, not to leave, which made things worse.

-The happy couple were soon by you as well, trying the different desserts, watching this fallout as well, as the bride grinned at the groom, “You were right, it’s not a real wedding unless there’s a fight.” He just laughed, “That’s not a fight, a chair hasn’t been thrown yet!”

-(Love) shoved a cupcake into your mouth before you said anything about helping, you weren’t going to start a fight at a wedding.

-Chairs end up getting thrown after a third woman, a guest of another bridesmaid, came over to see what was happening and everything hit the fan very quickly, luckily after the bride and groom made their exit.

-(Love) helped you carry a few more plates of sweets out of the wedding hall as you both decided to get out before it got even worse and you both sat on your couch together, eating the food, relaxing for the rest of the evening.

Do you have a deity from Greek mythology that interests you most than the others deities?

This is such an interesting question! I think about Greek mythology a lot, and specifically about the gods, but tbh I don't think I have one deity that I'm drawn to more than the others. Like I love learning tidbits about Apollo or Hermes or Athena but I can't say that I have a particular preference for any of them. What I do find fascinating though and keep being drawn to is the relationship between certain deities and how that is reflected culturally, in the art or worship or attitudes of that time, like Aphrodite and Ares (love and war), Charon and Hermes (the ferryman and the psychopomp), or my favourites Apollo and Dionysus. These two gods individually are very interesting, but it is the connections they share in cultural contexts that I find more fascinating, like the fact that Delphoi was considered a sacred place for both gods, with Apollo presiding over the Delphic oracle and practices in the spring, summer and fall, and then handing over the oracle to Dionysus for the three winter months. The two gods were considered counterparts of each other in many ways, with Apollo being the god of light, prophecy, truth, healing, etc and Dionysus embodying the unpredictability, or temporary insanity, if you will, of the winter months (as well as the darkness of winter, since he was considered a chthonic god and had connections to death and rebirth). There are many other aspects of the two gods that sort of contradict and also complement each other, both in the way they were viewed and also the way they were worshipped. I just find that sort of thing incredibly interesting to think about.

Some other things I find fascinating re: Greek deities is sort of following the progression of worship and godly figures, which gods stuck around since the Bronze Age or even before that, which have been absorbed by other gods, which have been forgotten completely, etc. Poseidon for example seems to be one of the older gods, Hestia is probably one of the later additions, while several minor gods that are known to have been worshipped in Mycenean times were gradually absorbed and replaced by Apollo. I just find that super interesting idk why haha. I feel like since worship and religion was such a central part of daily life, it tells us a lot about the people practicing it and believing in it, their worldview, their attitudes towards life, the world, each other, etc, and the few things we know about local deities or cults might tell us more about the people of that specific part of the world too. Sometimes when you visit those areas you might even be able to see the connections, even though it’s been thousands of years since then. It's one of the reasons I love history, archaeology and the classics in general, because it allows you a glimpse into those people's minds through the things that were important to them and you realise that we're not that different, that people have always been people.

Sorry if this was a bit rambly lol but yeah there it is! I'm just super interested in all deities, since they were in a sense all aspects of each other and were embodiments of different elements of nature, life or the human psyche, while also holding their own individual cosmology. Fascinating stuff!

Self-Forgiveness Enchantment: R&D Process

Before I start...

I'd like to share this: There are so many ways you can radiate magick throughout your life. This is the main idea I always revolve my spells around as I create them. Anything can be magickal because YOU are magickal. There is power in doing what makes you feel enlightened and at peace with yourself and the universe.

Yeah, spells are like recipes. If you'd like, you can replicate it to a T. But sometimes there will be missing ingredients that only YOU will have the palette to discover. I put a lot of thought and research into every single aspect of my ritual, and I'd like to explain my reasoning along the way, but by no means does that suggest there is one way to perform spellwork.

Change the hour; pick a different day; pray to another deity; replace an ingredient; omit a ritual. Do as you please, the magick starts with you.

I implore you to not replicate the rules, but instead replicate the feeling this enchantment aims to establish. I mean...why else would you cast it? Tailor this to you.

Don't let the pressure of perfection stop you from trying.

Okay, let's get this party started: Brainstorming

...feels like a spell in and of itself. I usually start off by using my favorite divination tool (tarot cards) and my greatest motivator (emotional pain) to inspire what grand message I would like my next spell to express. Think of each thing I highlight in pink as an ingredient to the spell.

This process led me to the V of Cups (Reversed). Seeing this card elicited a powerful feeling inside me. Before, I had been guilt-ridden and ashamed of my emotional downfall after so many months of hard work. I was so blinded with grief that I failed to take proper inventory of all the things I still had. Seeing this card reminded me that not all was lost...a path to recovery and self-acceptance was possible.

With this card, I can see what themes will be important for me to hone in on as I move through development: acceptance, hope, forgiveness, gratitude, kindness, and recovery (1).

Because the card itself is associated with these themes, it only felt natural to celebrate it and all of its magickal associations.

V of Cups Correspondences:

Element - Water

Zodiac - Scorpio (also associated with themes of regeneration and justice) (2)

Numerology - 5

Deities - Poseidon, Aphrodite, Isis, Boann, Hera, Hathor (3)

Out of these options of deities, I felt more connected to Isis, so I decided to honor Her.

Each of these correspondences has correspondences too! That's what makes researching so much fun, it's a never-ending rabbit hole. I continue by learning how my spell could celebrate each of these new "ingredients" in some shape or form. I'll go through each one by one.

Water Correspondences:

Performing a tea ritual (my favorite thing to do since I LOVE tea)

Collecting moon water (or really any magickal water) (4)

Bath or shower ritual! Because of time constraints I'm omitting this from the enchantment, but I still wanted to suggest this. (5)

Green/blue candles - blue candles are especially wonderful for protection and healing

Planetary hour of the moon - effective hour for emotional messages, magickal rituals, and visionary work as well (6)

Herbs: Basil - lol, there are many more but it's the only one I have on hand

Isis is also associated to water!

Scorpio Correspondences:

Wait for a Scorpio moon - I had already passed the time window for a Scorpio sun, so that was a goner lol. In my time zone, a Scorpio moon gives me a time window of around 2 days to choose my planetary hour from. I do know that the moon is in its fall in Scorpio, and unfortunately my natal chart doesn't support a Scorpio moon but I don't see any of this as a bad thing. I see spell casting during a fall as a symbol for a time of deep inner work and transformation. It might be helpful to call upon spirit guides/totem animals for protection, and to incorporate as many Scorpio associations as you can to strengthen your intentions and power. Meditation and intense reflection is also appropriate during this time. (7)

Herbs: Echinacea (also strengthens the power of other herbs), Basil (this one specifically supports a Scorpio moon, how lucky am I? lol)

The Number "5" Correspondences:

I usually incorporate numerology in my spellwork through the creation of a witch's bottle. Pick five ingredients to be in this bottle to capture the numerological intention behind the number. It's super fun to do, and gives me an excuse to use additional "ingredients" that I think can strengthen the enchantment.

Planet: Venus

Color: Pink

This number is associated with change and love, so it fits well with my themes

The door is wide open to get creative with this one. You could present five offerings to a deity, steep five herbs in your tea, recite a mantra five times, etc. The whole point is to just be intentional on how you incorporate the number.

Isis Correspondences:

This applies to any deity you call upon during spellwork: research as much as you can about them. Spending time and effort learning about their origins and purpose is already a grand form of respect to offer. This action alone is remarkably helpful in understanding nuances in how you should communicate to them, and what is (in)appropriate to ask of them. Isis is a nurturing Goddess, so She is not remarkably difficult to communicate with, she's actually a joy to be around from my experience. This is not the same for every deity, so be careful!

Loves sweets!!! Candy, raisins, milk, and tea work too. You can offer baked goods, like brownies for Her, and she'll be very pleased. Again, you can get creative. Because I'm performing a tea ritual, I'll be offering Her some tea, and some candy and raisins.

Loves the color green

Recite a prayer to Isis. You can create one or find some around the web. Don't just read the words aloud, establish your own connection to them first. You can also draw symbols associated to Isis physically or in the air. Another idea is carving them into a candle used for the enchantment

There are MANY associations you can incorporate for Isis that can strengthen your connection to Her. There are incenses, totem animals, oils, herbs, flowers, and many more offerings you can give that align with your interests.

Yay! Next up is the outlining phase...

Whew, that felt long yet I know there are so many other details I didn't expand upon for clarity's sake. That brainstorming phase was a lot so let's start this one off by recapping all the elements I'd like to incorporate in the enchantment. I'm gonna organize them by rituals I'd like to perform, magickal times I'd like to consider, and motifs I'd like to include.

Rituals: Research deity Moon water collection Tea ritual Prayer to deity Witch's bottle Magickal Times: Scorpio moon (Ex. Dec. 9th, 3:35 AM - Dec. 11th, 11:11 AM) Hour of the moon (Ex. Dec. 9th, 6:40 PM - 7:51 PM) Motifs (think of these as the main ideas of the spell): Themes: Acceptance, hope, forgiveness, gratitude, kindness, recovery, self-love, healing Tarot Card: V of Cups (Reversed), Suit of Cups is also applicable Element: Water Planet: Mars/Pluto (Scorpio), Venus (number 5) Zodiac: Scorpio Number: 5 Deity: Isis Sub-motifs (think of these as supporting ideas): Planet: Mars/Pluto (Scorpio), Venus (number 5) Colors: Blue (water), Green (water/Isis), Pink (number 5) Herbs: Basil (water/Scorpio moon), Echinacea (Scorpio) Deity offerings (ex. sweets)

If the brainstorming phase looked like a hot mess beforehand, I hope it looks more digestible now! Keep in mind, this is still a planning phase so I might omit/add "ingredients" to adjust for time constraints and availability. Usually, ingredients added during outlining serve as "strengtheners" in the spell.

For example, I know I want a witch bottle containing five ingredients, but also know my current list of sub-motifs lacks a diversity of magickal items. I could include more items that align specifically with the themes of the spell. This is where additional research into crystals, flowers, oils, spirit guides/totem animals, and more comes into play. This is also where trusting your witch eye will be most vital in determining what the last few ingredients will be.

I have many crystals associated with themes related to healing and hope and even the Mother Goddess, Isis, but it is my responsibility to determine which stones will be fit for the job. It's like they're all auditioning for Witchcraft Idol and I'm their Simon Cowell, but much nicer, of course.

I'm gonna skip the long explanation and provide a small-ish list detailing the extra ingredients I'm adding.

Herbs/Spices: Rosemary: A favorite that I love adding to my tea ritual. Works wonderfully at healing and removing negativity. Also best to use on Saturdays or Sundays, the very days I'll be casting. Himalayan Pink Salt: Works wonderfully as a cleanser. The pink salt aligns nicely as a witch bottle ingredient. Totem Animal: Dinosaur: I've recently felt a strong spiritual connection to the dinosaur, specifically the Brachiosaurus. I was hesitant at first, but upon some digging, I think the dino is a great totem animal for this enchantment. The dino's reign on Earth reminds me of the tenacious spirit of Isis. Their ultimate demise can teach us to let go of the past, embrace new beginnings, and make peace with the highs and lows that come with the cycle of life. Sounds like a perfect fit to me. (8) Crystals/Stones: Carnelian: Associated with Isis and the number "5". Works to restore vitality and motivation. One of my favorite crystals, and the only one I have as a sphere. Will serve as a wonderful offering to the Mother Goddess. Tourmalinated Quartz: This buddy is like an old reliable to me. This crystal is remarkably powerful as it combines the energies of Black Tourmaline and White Quartz to serve as a mighty protector and amplifier. This baby is also one of few crystals that can be associated to all planets, zodiacs, and elements. Also happens to be my only tower, lol. This gorgey hun will solely serve as support during the enchantment. Merlinite: Another bestie of mine. I have this one in the shape of a palm stone, making it perfect to hold as I meditate. Merlinite is especially effective at connecting with totem animals and encourages you to face your shadow self. A very, very wise, trustworthy stone that is great for healing rituals. Hematite: I felt like I was missing an earth related ingredient that could serve to ground me. Upon learning the power of Hematite, I knew this would be a great addition to the line-up. This stone works to lift shame and despair and replace it with the determination to do better and take responsibility. Self-forgiveness can go nowhere without the intent to work for a better future. Moonstone: Very powerful as it is associated to Isis, all planets, and the Scorpio zodiac. The spell will be cast when the sun is in Sagittarius, another sign supported by the Moonstone. Insanely perfect fit for this spell. It can function as psychic protection and as an emotional balancer. Peach Selenite: I have a bias for my peachy baby! Serves as a cleanser and is associated to Pluto, a ruling planet of Scorpio. She also promotes self-awareness and acceptance. A perfect 10. Pink Opal: Associated with the Divine, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and water. Great healer...and it's pink! :) Rose Quartz: This will be an ingredient placed in the witch bottle, as I have a few small chips ready to put in some work. It's pink and aligns with water and Venus....so it was practically made for this bottle! This last addition is an incredible healer and fills the soul with love thy self and thy neighbor.

OMG, this was wayyyyy longer than I anticipated. I'm gonna make another post soon with just the spell itself, but I thought it would be interesting to share my process, as I'm always curious to understand all the moving parts that create magick.

See ya on the flippity flip flop! :)

do you guys have any good secret / fun fact recommendations?

i think it depends on the type of character !! but some i'd like to see are : they were on the losing side of the war, maybe they understood luke's side!, they make their own clothes and want to be a designer, they have a secret hobby/interest they love but don't think anyone would understand (ares kid who wants to be on broadway! aphrodite kid who wants to be an engineer!), they wanted nothing to do with the war and abandoned their siblings/family + were cast out by everyone because of their selfishness, they owe the government a lot of money, they're wanted by the CIA/FBI, they secretly had a baby without telling anyone or maybe something silly like nobody knows their real name and they're too socially awkward to correct people, they lie a lot just because and without reason, they once got lost in the woods for hours and found themselves in canada, they have a vintage barbie doll collection, they released music under a pseudonym and are really famous but nobody knows it's them, they once spent 5 days trying to beat an arcade game and in the end ... lost, they really hate [random food here], they were in a coma during the war and woke up very confused in the last few days, everyone thinks their hair color is natural but it's not!, they have an irrational fear of water (for a poseidon kid it could be fun!), they lost a pet animal and replaced it with an identical one and are too embarrassed to tell anyone, they hate plants (demeter/aphrodite kid). it can be more serious or scandalous but it can also be ridiculous and simple.

Miracle Weapon Hunt Chapter 16: Temples, Legions, and Other Fun Things

Cassandra woke up after falling off the couch onto her head. Above the cold tiles of the apartment was a red carpet which thankfully broke her fall. She let out an audible groan as she stared at the white ceiling. She tried getting comfortable on the couch next to Julian, but he was rearranged in such a way that getting into a sleeping position that didn’t require straight up contortion was impossible.

She checked her phone. No weather forcing the grands to move and change the time, so it was still 5AM like she expected.

“Yo, Julian.” She whispered. No response. Sleeping Julian was little more than a handsome brick, same as usual.

She looked for paper, hoping that Dakarai didn’t already replace it with a calculator that leaves notes or some high-tech future crap like that. She found a bunch of paper, both new and balled up, by the wooden table in Dakarai’s dining room. So she left a note and placed it on Julian’s forehead.

‘going out, call me if you need me. Cass.’ With a little heart by the end for a dash of affectionate professionalism.

Cassandra stepped out into the Inariu morning. The housing platform near the top had a pleasant breeze surrounding it, and the sun was rising without a bad cloud in sight. It was going to be a good day. She checked the map looking to see if there was a church nearby, and luckily there was. Nearby the housing levels too. It was apparently an addition to main housing block three. She was on housing block four, so she walked across the small metal tunnel connecting the blocks, and then on the thin metal walkway connecting block 3 and the church.

It was a pretty small church. A stone building that looked like it was built by Gurut handymen a long time ago. Three pillars stood between her and the door, with a triangular yellow roof at the top. The perfect place for a roof.

She walked into the stone temple, where statues of the twelve Olympian gods lay, even if some were in worse condition than others. Aphrodite didn’t even have a head, for a start. And Poseidon was missing an arm. But the others only had a couple of scratches at most. Including Apollo, her favourite of the bunch.

“Apollo.” She whispered. “May your gift of prophecy guide us to a better future in these trying times.”

She also felt like offering a prayer to Artemis, but losing the most important bow in the world might make relations between the two a little iffy. But thinking of weapons, Zeus was there, all thundery. She could pray to him seeing as she had his powerset now.

“Zeus.” She whispered. “May you give us the strength to fight off our enemies.”

Inside herself, she felt relieved. She was a holy warrior of sorts now, so talking it out with some divine individuals made her feel a little better.

But just as she was about to walk out, a robed figure walked into the building. Then another. And more piled in until twelve hooded figures were in the building. And all of them seemed to be staring at her.

“Oh, hey.” Cassandra said calmly, taking a step back. “Have I…interrupted something? Because if so, I can totally just leave.”

She gave an awkward smile as she tried to walk out of the church. But just as she was about to leave, two of the larger members of the group walked in front of the door.

“Hey, mind explaining what I walked in on?” Cassandra asked, watching as the other members of the group surrounded her. One member stood between the two large members.

“State your name!” The one in the middle commanded, in a booming voice.

“It’s…Megan.” Cassandra replied slowly. The people in the circle kept their distance, not doing anything yet. But just letting them know her name seemed like a pretty bad idea.

“Lies!” The hooded figure yelled. “You’re the one working against the Legion!”

“Yeah? Why wouldn’t I?” She asked.

One of the members from behind her reached under her arms and held her. She kicked back, causing the person to let her go. She tried running out, only for one of the large people to punch her in the face, with another man dragging her to the ground.

“Tell me, miss.” The middle man began, removing his hood and revealing a scrawny looking black man underneath. “Why is it that you fight for the current weapon holders?”

“Because the Legion are terrorists!” Cassandra yelled, trying to get out of the man’s weight.

“And what of the Lucians?” He asked. “Are you aware of what they’re hiding?”

“I don’t know anything!” Cassandra screamed, getting out and standing up to meet him. “I just found the axe!”

“Listen, all you have to do is join the Legion. Once initiated, we’ll work to expose the-“

That was as far as he got before Cassandra punched him in the face. He fell to the ground with one punch, wheezing in agony. Another member tried approaching her from behind, but she managed to sidestep them and land a kick to their stomach. Another member revealed a set of claws and dug them into her back. She managed to stay upright, making another bolt towards the door. The larger member once again grabbed her and threw her back into the crowd. But just as she tried getting up again, a clanging noise was heard from behind the man. And then he fell forward.

Cassandra looked forward, and the girl revealed herself. It was the same girl who was in Dakarai’s waiting room.

“Cassandra?” She asked.

“Metal girl?” Cassandra replied.

“What’s going on here?” The girl asked, looking at the people surrounding her. She pressed a button on her arm, and it formed into a blunter form that looked like a baseball bat.

“I have no idea.” Cassandra replied.

“Well, I’ll help you with whatever it is.” She said calmly, swinging her hand into the second large man, knocking him out cold.

The other members seemed to look at each other through their hoods. Three of them tried to lunge towards Cassandra, who leapt out of the way. Cassandra dashed behind one and kicked them in the back, forcing them to the ground. One of the others kicked her as hard as they could in the stomach, forcing her to her knees. The girl ran up to the other two and bashed them in the heads with her bat. The others ran out of the church as soon as possible, with the largest remaining taking their leader with them.

“Gosh…thanks.” Cassandra said in between breaths, desperate to remind her insides how breathing worked.

“No problem.” The girl replied worryingly, looking to the walkway where all of them were running.

“We going after them?”

“They’ll disperse and try to blend into the crowd. I’ll report them later, but we should at least be fine for today.”

“Okay…cool.” Cassandra gasped, standing upright to make one final inhale to fix her lungs. “Thanks…I forgot your name.”

“Chizoba.” She replied.

“Cool. So, what brings you here?”

“Well, I’m just waiting for Dakarai to set up shop, so I decided to swing by here and see what was up.”

“Didn’t take you for the religious type.” Cassandra said.

“I’m not, the place just looked nice. Stonework is kinda rare around these parts, so I just wanted to see what it was.”

“It’s a temple to the Olympian gods. Pretty small and run down, but all the fan favourites are there.”

“Fan favourites?”

“The twelve main ones, anyway. If you got the time, I’ll guide you through them and show you the…”

She was cut off by her phone buzzing in her back pocket. She answered it and heard Ola’s voice on the other end.

“This is Cassandra, right?” She asked quickly.

“Yeah.” Cassandra replied.

“Okay, great.” Ola said just as quick. “If you want to try out one of the guns, come to my place on level one.”

“Yeah, sounds good.” Cassandra nodded as she left the call.

“Who was that?” Chizoba asked.

“Ola. She wants me to come over and test out the guns she’s got.”

“The new weapons the soldiers here have? Mind if I come?”

“You think she’ll let you in?”

“I mean, I feel the need to report what happened to her.”

“Right. I’ll vouch for you anyway, so let’s get going."

[sunhighriptide]

Aight so Miles.

His parental situation is a bit more complicated, as he has two very present parents in his life and story, so you obviously can't just replace them. He really does give more of a first generation demigod vibe than later generations. Maybe it was a three-way, or one of them was infertile, and that's why they only had the one kid. Who knows. Doesn't matter much for this!

Starting right in- Zeus. Miles does have an electroshock ability. That's about the only relation I can see. His mom would probably whack Zeus right out of the neighborhood, and his dad would probably try to arrest him.

Poseidon- I can see this a little more personality wise? But his powers have zero to do with the ocean. Hang on. Electric eels do give out shocks, and camouflage is employed by a number of seal creatures, such as octopi. We could almost pretend all his powers come from ocean creatures if they weren't so clearly spider themed.

Also no on Demeter.

He isn't a particularly aggressive person. In many ways, he is probably the most relaxed of the three. No on Ares.

Not really any hits against Apollo. He at least likes music. He does not play, however, and is also not great at remembering lyrics. He's never shown any particular affinity for the sun, and also does not have fantastic aim for a spider. He is a warm person, but has never shown any interest or skill in healing.

Athena. Miles is very intelligent, but this is clearly not where his interests lie.

Similar to Hephaestus, and building things, taking them apart, investigating them, these also do not seem like his specialities or interests.

He's cute, but I am also not feeling the Aphrodite vibes. He is a bit awkward and does not possess an abundance of natural charm.

Remembering Hermes this time. He could absolutely be a son of Hermes. Hermes could get along with both his parents, at least. I have to say, both Miles and Peter are very attached to their communities, and don't travel all too much. He does have many disparate skills and abilities. I could see camouflage being related to Hermes as well.

Very much not feeling Dionysus vibes. Miles is too careful a person.

Hades. Miles has no particular associations with earth, wealth, or darkness. I just don't see it.

Iris I do see some arguments for. His camouflage has to do with changing color and light, which is very much an Iris thing. She does kind of give off the vibe that she will shock you if you touch her. His artistic tendencies and love of color are very Iris.

He could be a child of Hypnos, but he also seems like the type who has difficulty sleeping.

Of the three spiders, he is least likely to seek vengence or retribution and doesn't spend as much time thinking about whether life is fair. He appears to be a fairly in the moment type of person. So not Nemesis.

Also not extraordinarily competative, so not Nike.

He is a very youthful guy, desplaying the hope and excitement of the young. Maintaining optimism and wonder even after all he has been through.

Again, not a single spider has good luck. Not Tyche.

Miles has no interest or association with magic or mystery. Not Hecate.

So wow, that's a lot narrower of a list than Gwen. Poseidon, Hermes, Iris, Hebe. I'm going to include another poll for you all to ignore. 😆 TBH, at this point, it's a me project. I saw a question and now it must be answered.

Guys I have a question which cabin do you think miless morales, peter parker and Gwen Stacy would be in?

I think miles would be in cabin 1 zeus cuz of his electric powers

I would like gwen to be a child of Apollo cabin 7

I'm not sure for peter maybe Hebe?? Demeter????

Do you guys agree?

[literallyjusttoa]

Imperial Children Icons!!

I thought I was done with making Icons, but I recently remembered that Meg has nine foster siblings, so I wanted to make some designs for them and add some headcannons for each sibling.

We are only given three of the kids names in canon, so I named the others using two things. One, the list of Patrician family names from Ancient Rome (basically all the richest families of the time). Two, the theory made by Ferodactyl and the other fun folks on the ToA discord server, which states that each of Nero's children had a name that referenced the Olympian they were meant to replace. Anyways here we go!

Tullia Claudius

Age: 17

Name Meaning: Mountain path. Tullia was the name of the last queen of pre-republican Rome.

Godly legacy: Daughter of Urania, Muse of Astronomy

Tullia is meant to replace Artemis. She trains in combat often, and is often injured trying to protect her brother. She barely speaks with Nero, and is only seems to care about the older half of her siblings. She usually stays silent, but most of her siblings look to her for guidance.

Lucius Claudius

Age: 17

Name Meaning: Light

Godly Legacy: Son of Urania, Muse of Astronomy

Lucius is meant to replace Apollo. Yes, Nero was so creepy that he stole twins to replace Artemis and Apollo. Lucius used to be very sensitive, and was often protected by his sister. Soon enough, he learned to stay loyal to Nero to protect his sister. He doesn't seem to care about any of his other siblings, and no one is quite sure if Lucius truly agrees with Nero's beliefs or not.

Marcius Claudius

Age: 16

Name Meaning: Warlike, derived from the god Mars.

Godly legacy: great-grandson of Bellona

Marcius is meant to replace Ares. He is extremely resentful of Nero, and desperate to escape anything and everything relating to the mythological world. He is forced to train in battle often, though he is not the best fighter.

Agrippino Claudius

Age: 16

Name meaning: Agrippino is the masculine form of Agrippina, who was Nero's adopted mother, who he was historically very close to. Agrippino was named after her because he is the foster child who looks the closest to Nero.

Godly Legacy: Child of Macaria, the goddess of blessed death.

Agrippino is meant to replace Hephaestus. He has to teach himself how to build and engineer, and burns himself a lot as a result. He is quiet and withdrawn, but very close to his younger sister, Cloelie.

Aemilia Claudius

Age: 15

Name Meaning: To rival. to excel

Godly Legacy: Legacy of Athena.

Aemilia is meant to replace Athena. She trains and studies diligently, but is prone to bursts of emotion. She often goes to Marcius for comfort, but the two of them usually end up making each other more cynical. She tries her hardest to avoid Nero.

Cloelie Claudius

Age: 14

Name Meaning: Illustrious, Famous

Godly Legacy: Daugther of Boreas

Cloelie is meant to replace Aphrodite. She tries her hardest to stay positive about her situation, but she struggles with staying present. Often times, she can be found in the workshop with Agrippino, as she is much more interested in engineering than he is.

Meg Mccaffrey

Age: 12

Name Meaning: Pearl

Godly Legacy: Daughter of Demeter

Meg is meant to replace Demeter. Y'all know whats up with her. She is the only one without Nero's family name since she was adopted later on in her life, so she kept her father's name.

Veturius Cladius

Age: 10

Name Meaning: A carriage

Godly Legacy: Son of Irene, one of the Horai and the goddess of peace.

Veturius is meant to replace Hermes. After an incident at age 5 that scarred his face, Veturius has suffered from extreme anxiety. He often tries to hide away in Nero's estate, and he has a Germani body guard at his side at all times to keep him from running away.

Nautia Claudius

Age: 9

Name Meaning: From the Sea

Godly Legacy: Daughter of Proteus, old sea god and herder of Poseidon's seals.

Nautia is meant to replace Poseidon. She is often withdrawn, but likes to follow around her older siblings. She is especially fond of Tullia. She also really likes Meg's plants, though she doesn't see them often.

Cassius Claudius

Age: 8

Name Meaning: Hollow

Godly Legacy: Son of Hypnos

Cassius is meant to replace Dionysus. As the newest imperial child, he hasn't made any strong bonds with any of his siblings. After Nero is killed, he develops some hero-worship of Meg. After everything is said and done, Cassius ends up going to Camp Half-Blood, and asks Lu to permanently adopt him. He stays with her for the rest of her life.

The Secret Author

Starring: Poseidon [Definitively OOC] | Reader | Hades [ Possibly OOC ] 

Pairing: Poseidon / Reader

Synopsis: In which Poseidon has to rely on a book to learn how to properly court his wife after centuries of marriage. Dignity be damned if it means that he can become the perfect husband!

Part: 6 out of 6 [ link to Part 5 ]

In the silence of his study room, Poseidon mindlessly browsed through the book that has been useful to him up until now. His Queen has never been happier ever since he started applying the techniques advised by the author. Indeed, the book contained only the best advice. The God of the sea could see why this publication was a god and man's favourite. Poseidon had to give the book and the author credit for such a useful book. Once more, the Lord of the sea closed the book and inspected the back. For some bizarre reasons, he felt like he knew who the author was. And although the author didn’t use their complete name, only using the letter A and P as their pseudonyms, Poseidon felt like he was familiar with the author. It was a feeling that troubled him as he went through the book, reading chapters after chapters. It was as if he knew who the person was but he couldn’t put his mind on why the author seemed so familiar to him. Their sense of humour, the little quips that the author made all throughout the book, the sometimes well hidden but nevertheless present mocking tone camouflaged amidst paragraphs of advice...Poseidon swore he knew the person. But at the same time, this was impossible. He wasn’t a god who socialised much with the other gods, even less humans. The only people he knew intimately were his brothers and sisters, and that was only because they were raised together. None of his sisters were much interested in love. Demeter was only interested in her flora, Hestia was Hestia and Hera would never write a book of advice. That left his niece Aphrodite. As the goddess of love, he wouldn’t put it past her to write such a book. The mocking tone also fit Aphrodite’s sense of humour. It must have been her work.

Poseidon sighed heavily while leaning back on his chair. Throwing his head back, he put an arm across his face and wished the ground would swallow him whole. To think that a god like him had to rely on a mere book to make his wife happy! He swears he will never be able to come back from the humiliation that he went through. A god as perfect as him-

“Hey, what got you so worked up that you didn’t notice me knocking five times? If I didn’t see (Y/N) on my way to your study I would have thought you were busy doing some inappropriate adult things in here!”

The newcomer had barely put a foot in the study of the god that he already nearly received a thick book sent with killing intent to his face. Poseidon was seething at the intrusion. Everyone knew to leave the god of the sea undisturbed when he was in his study. The newcomer chuckled while grabbing the poor mistreated manuscript off the ground. 

“Now, now. Is that a way to treat your dear older brother who took the time to leave his domain to visit his younger brother on this fine day?”

“No one asked you to come here.”

“I wanted to check up on you. You see, when a big brother hears from some people that his younger brother might have been replaced by Loki, it is only natural for me to be concerned. But I can see that I had nothing to be worried about after all.”

And as if to mock Poseidon further, Hades hauntily waved the volume “The Art of Courting Your Beloved” in front of his face with a shit-eating grin on his face. ‘The audacity!’ If Poseidon had the power to annihilate enemies with the power of his eyes, well, let’s just say that Helheim will have to choose another ruler because their current ruler had no survival instincts. 

“Tell me brother, did you enjoy the book? Was it useful? I must say, this explains a lot about your behaviour for the last few months, from that little call about flowers, to the sudden interest in actual jewelry instead of gems!”

“Fuck off.”

“Ever the potty mouth, I see. If I knew you were going to take advice from it, I would have added something about having a cleaner vocabulary and being nicer to your family! It makes you far more attractive when you don’t swear like a sailor you know? I swear. You hate humans but you swear just as much as them…”

But Poseidon had long since stopped listening to the ramblings of Hades. His mind replayed Hades’ sentence over and over as if it was a broken record with the sole intention of mocking him.

‘...I would have added something...I...would...have...added...something...I…’

Poseidon remained motionless. His eyes, which were normally already blank in everyday life, were now frighteningly vacant. Hades, having noticed his brother’s inertness, waved a hand in front of blue hues in concern. Although, if the teasing glint in his eyes were anything to go by, one could easily see that the Ruler of Helheim was not concerned in the slightless. In fact, he was greatly amused and wished that he could record this moment as proof that his brother was so much more humane than he had like to admit. 

“Poseidon? The sea calls for Poseidon? By my name, I think I broke him.”

Hades tried to shake his younger sibling, hoping to bring him out of his stupor. Who would have thought that Poseidon would have been this shocked at learning that he indirectly took advice from his very brother, the god of Helheim himself? 

“Brother Hades, I found some freshly prepared ambrosia in the kitchen. I thought you might have liked some after the long journey from Helheim to Atlantis. Poseidon?”

“I apologise, sister. It seems like I broke your dear husband.”

His words greatly contradicted his tone. There was no hint of remorse in his voice as he let his sister-in-law crouch in front of his frozen brother. He was, instead, quite amused by the whole ordeal.

“I’ve never seen Poseidon so frozen before. How did you do this?”

“Umm...Think of it as a brother’s secret! On this note, I have to take my leave now.”

“Wait!”

“Just give him a kiss on the cheek! It was a pleasure to see you again, dear sister!”

(Y/N) watched as Hades hurriedly left the study and presumably the kingdom with a thick book in hand. ‘Maybe this was the reason for his sudden visit?’ But nevermind the bizarre behaviour of her husband’s brother. She had her own husband to take care of. 

“Poseidon? Love? Are you alright?”

She lightly grabbed his face into her hands, and as Hades advised, gave him a kiss. And as if Poseidon suddenly became Sleeping Beauty, he finally broke away from the spell that kept him frozen. 

“Glad to see that Hades didn’t break you too much,” joked (Y/N). However, as soon as the name Hades escaped from her mouth, it seemed like her husband had reverted back to his old self! He rose up to his feet, summoned Amphitrite and stalked over to the door to chase after his brother.

(Y/N) watched amused as her husband roared out his brother’s name, knowing that it was useless because knowing Hades, he must have already left. Still, she wondered what happened a few minutes before her arrival in the study. Poseidon never really got worked up over many things. 

“Oh well. I can always call sister Persephone later!” 

A few weeks later, Poseidon received from Hermes a special package straight from Helheim. The package was neatly wrapped up, a nice black bow holding the paper together. Poseidon looked at it suspiciously after Hermes took his leave. Carefully, he unwrapped the package and what lay inside nearly made the god want to throw it into the darkest abyss of the sea. However, he managed to restrain himself. 

‘Dear baby brother,

I figured that it would be troublesome if someone was to see you return the book. So I took a shot for you and did it myself to keep your, oh-so-precious reputation intact! And in order to avoid you having to risk your image again, I’m sending you the original of the book! Look at how nice I am!

Love, your dear older brother.’

Poseidon crumbles the letter. He glared at the book again before taking it with him to his study. Better hide it in a place where no one will ever stumble on it.

I apologise for that kind of lame ending. I had no idea how to end this mini series 😅

You actually get to fuck his ass this time lmfao [part one right here]

AMAB!Dom!Reader x Sub!Poseidon

Content warning ⚠️: Mild degradation (receiving/giving), and unprotected sex

Apologies (part 2!)

You were a horrible person.

At least, that's what Poseidon thought when you left him hanging for an entire week after your night together.

When he had asked if you would continue, you'd looked him dead in the eyes, smiled- no, smirked, and said,

"No."

He was stunned, so much so you had already laid down, turned over and "gone to sleep" when he came out of his stupor. Didn't you enjoy it (too)? Didn't you understand this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance? How could you go to sleep after one round?! A round you didn't even get to cum in, at that! He tried to wake you, but you were just so tired, he gave up allowed you to sleep after it became clear his efforts were in vain.

Your denying him more that night left him completely unsuspecting of the teasing he'd endure tomorrow.

The first day, your hands always seemed to find a reason to glide along his skin. Fingers trailing along his inner thighs, quick squeezes at his hips, a playful slap on the ass.

The second day, you didn't touch him at all. He was deprived of even the smallest of touches right up until bedtime, where you ran your hands over every inch of body- minus the important places. You went as far as to get him naked, before turning over and, once again, going to bed. The seas raged with the force of his disappointment.

The third day, your usual polite speech was replaced with a vocabulary so vulgar, Aphrodite herself was blushing. Zeus never thought he'd see the day Poseidon's stoicism crumbled, but here it was: Poseidon, in all his straight-faced glory, so red in the face Thor's hair would be jealous.

The week continued on in that manner.

Tonight, you'd invited Poseidon to sleep in one of his smaller manors. The castle was long abandoned, and your daylight hours had been spent working with a team of trusted handmaids to clean the place up for tonight. All that was left now was to wait, and wait you did, a small smile on your face as you thought of the events soon to take place.

You knew he was here before you could see him; from the balcony, you could see the waves had gotten stronger, rougher, in the presence of their leader.

"Isn't the view beautiful?"

"You called me here to talk about the view?"

You snorted, turning your head just enough to meet his eyes. "Would you be disappointed if I said yes?"

A tch sound left his lips, but he otherwise remained silent. "Strip, Poseidon." The wind howled, as if it was eager to see him naked as you were.

He raised an eyebrow as you turned your back to the sea, the moon behind you casting a shadow over your features. "Who do you think-"

"Strip, or would you rather go to bed untouched again?" It was a threat you knew you wouldn't make good on, but after this week, Poseidon couldn't be so sure. His pride was once again being tested; he wanted your touch, he knew that. But was he willing to follow your orders like one of the imperfect scum he so despises for it?

The glare on his face as he placed his trident in your outstretched hand and began to take off his clothes could make an entire garden wilt.

His hands were slow, for as much as he wanted to have you on him, he didn't want to seem desperate. He also had yet to make you pay for your teasing.

Which is how your simple order became a strip tease. His handed glided across his body in a way that accentuated both his curves and his muscle. He'd pull down some of the cloth that hid his skin just enough so that you could see the edge of a nipple, the dip of his hips, the curve of his ass, then start on somewhere new. There were multiple layers to his clothes, so sometimes he'd pull down the first so that you'd get a mere outline, or just barely be able to see through the fabric.

By time he had finally undressed, you were both hard, him from the way your eyes devoured his body, you from the sexy display he'd given.

"Happy now?" You liked this side of Poseidon. He knew how to tease of course- he's had years of practice in bed to master it- but this was different. The glimmer in his eyes was different, the way the corner of his mouth lifted just so, the way he stood tall and proud while butt-naked on the balcony. It was all different.

And honestly, you wouldn't have it any other way.

As if by unspoken consent, the two of you made for the bed, snatching up the lube as you passed it. His trident was placed against the wall as Poseidon sat near the edge of the bed, leaning back so you had easy access to his hole as you poured the liquid over three of your fingers.

Approaching him, one knee went between his legs, the opposite hand holding you up. Your lubed fingers went to his puckered hole, tracing circles around it as he shivered.

"Ready?" The concern you'd tried to hide still managed to slip into your voice. It was his first time taking anything up there, and you knew firsthand how much it could hurt. However, your fingers weren't as thick as Poseidon's, so that would make all the difference.

The corner of his lip raised at your question, and was quickly followed by a scoff. "I'd be surprised if I even feel your puny fingers." With that sentence, all mercy you may have had flew out the window. You took no small amount of pleasure in the face he made when you shoved a finger in without warning, enjoying the way his walls flexed around your digit. His furrowed eyebrows and the force of which he bit his lip were the only reactions he gave. "With the way you whine whenever I do this, you'd think I'd actually feel something. These little fingers of yours are usele-"

Two fingers in now, you went straight for his prostrate.

His hips thrust forward at the new feeling, a loud, sultry moan escaping past his lips. You didn't give him time to recuperate; your only goal was to milk of as many moans like that as you could. So you attacked the spot relentlessly, entranced by the way his lips moved to form each sound. For the most part, his eyes were closed, but each time they opened, without fail, you were drawn into a kiss. You welcomed his tongue in your mouth like a lover who'd spent a long time away from home, entwining the wet muscles as his moans were lost to your lips. Your fingers, three deep now, stretched and rubbed and pleasured his hole until that glorious moment was upon you again.

He broke from the kiss throw his head back, hands gripping at the sheets and your thigh. His lips, swollen from the kiss and wet with spit, once again formed a perfect "O". And through that "O" came a moan you'd remember perfectly years into the future, accompanied by a twitch of his dick, followed by a spray of pure white cum.

You couldn't decide which was better, pre-orgasm or post.

Because right now, with his face beet-red, his mouth wide open, his legs spread like a proper whore, and covered in his own cum... you had a hard time believing he'd ever been more attractive.

"I hope you're not too tired, because the night isn't over yet Love." You didn't expect a response, and you didn't get one. Your thumbs rubbed small circles into his thighs, a satisfied smile on your face. Your hands, ever on the move, were quick to forsake the circles they made and creep down lower, lifting his muscular legs over your shoulders so you could spread his cheeks. His hole, wet with precum that had dripped down and lube, spread far easier than it had earlier. There'd still be a stretch when you put it in, but it wouldn't be too bad.

"Tell me, My Lord... Do you think you can take it?"

"Do you truly think that pathetic dick of yours is too much for me? A being so puny in size dares believe themselves capable of such a feat? Watch your tongue, lest I cut it out."

It was amazing his tongue was still so sharp after all that'd happened. His eyes had cleared some, but his face failed to make his usual indifferent scowl. It was completely relaxed, in fact, and gave the impression that his mind was still fogged, that his words were nothing more than an automated message.

"Sounds like you're overconfident... Or maybe you're overcompensating? Could the big, bad Poseidon be... Scared? The God of Gods, afraid of taking the pathetic dick of a puny mortal... what a shame."

You expected to be impaled before you could finish your sentence, yet you glance at the god to find him perfectly calm, staring deep into your eyes with an unnerving intensity.

"Position yourself." He wasn't asking. Intrigued by his attempt to seemingly take back control, you obeyed. Back to headboard, you barely had time to get comfortable before his trident was embedded deep into the wood centimeters from your head.

Poseidon straddled you, one hand on your shoulder, the other on his thigh. The expression on his face made you shudder and smirk.

"I'll show you how "afraid" I am of your mortal dick."

Taken all the teasing you could handle, have you? You thought.

The hand on his thigh moved to your waist, slowly pushing your shirt up. You let him undress you, watching the way his eyes clouded and his pupils grew with each inch of skin uncovered. The way his breath slowly became labored. How his dick twitched in excitement as he finally, finally got your pants off.

He was generous with the lube he poured, watching intently as it drizzled down the sides of your cock, passing over veins as it traveled from tip to base.

Then he was holding it still as he pressed the tip to his hole. You were entranced, taken with the way he shivered at the feeling. Pushing the tip in, two sets of eyes focused on where their owners connected, silence falling like a thick blanket as you both waited for him to bottom out.

A sigh of relief came from you both when it was all in.

He shifted to his knees, keeping eye contact with you. He smirked, as if to say "Does this look afraid to you?", and started to bounce. His pace was as rough and fast as an ocean current, drawing a startled gasp out of you. Moans followed after, and soon, you were both loose at the mouth from the feeling. He was tight and warm and fuck, he kept clenching. The amount of lube he poured made a lewd wet sound whenever he came down, and the sound of his ass slapping against your thighs was driving you crazy.

Sooner than you meant, you could feel that tightening in your stomach. Clawing at his thighs, you clamped your mouth around his nipple and sucked, earning an especially loud moan almost directly in your ear.

"Fuck, Poseidon, that's perfect. You're so fucking perfect."

His orgasm hit like a tsunami at your words. He slammed down on you one final time, clenching tight enough to bring you over the edge with him. Your seed ended up deep inside him, while his spewed up onto your chest and face.

The room was filled with the sound of heavy breathing as waves crashed in the background.

Through the haze of pleasure and your lack of breath, you manage to say, "Ya' know... I'm starting to think you should be an asshole more..."

Poseidon slid up and off you, cum pouring from his opened hole. "Must you insist on being foolish, [Name]?"

A breathy laugh escapes your lips as he pulls you into his warm embrace. You loved it when he said your name. "If a rude remark here or there gets apology sex like this, then foolish I'll be."

The room was silent once more, the two of you simply enjoying each other's presence. You smiled at him, and while he didn't smile back, he did let out an amused blast of air from his nose. The look on his face told you you'd caught him off-guard when you said, "Wanna go again?"

[yugiohcardsdaily]

To justify combining God of War with Pokemon on my Yu-Gi-Oh! blog, probably!

Because as usual, I've been trying to think of what 'mons my dad (Kratos) would use, as well as like Atreus and maybe some others.

The team Kratos uses would depend on which Kratos we're talking about. I don't think Norse Era Kratos would use the exact same team as Greek Era Kratos. But more than that, I don't think the team he uses before his pledge to Ares would be the same one he uses by the time he kills Zeus. I'll probably make three or four teams for him--one for before he's slain his loved ones, one for the end of the Greek Era, and either one for the entire Norse Era or one for each game.

I also kinda want to use Doublade as a stand-in for the Blades of Chaos, but I'm not sure how well it works since the BoC are heavy on the fire and Doublade is a Steel/Ghost-Type. Maybe his could be a regional variant that's Fire/Steel, but changes to its proper typing once he kills his family with it while maintaining its fiery properties? It'd never evolve into Aegislash, of course. It would be stronger than the average Doublade, though, given it was forged by the gods.

Every Spartan probably has a Falinks. I shouldn't have to explain that one :P I think Kratos would also have a Zangoose because of the red stripe and white fur the 'mon has. The 'mon maybe also belonged to Deimos before he was taken to the realm of the dead. Spartans in general would probably have mostly Fighting-Types, for obvious reasons, so I guess the rest of Kratos's team would be that. So with that in mind... Kratos Team in earlyish Greek Era: Falinks, Zangoose, Machamp, Blaziken, Kommo-o, and Poliwrath. Poliwrath is replaced by Grecian Doublade once Kratos make his oath to Ares. (And yes, Poliwrath is there because WRATH lmao.)

His team would change after everything that happens across the Greek Era games, including the changing of Grecian Doublade into Kalosian Doublade. Still the same 'mon, but Type is affected by the actions it's forced to participate in. I think he'd have Legendaries and the like on his team by now as well. So... God-Killer Kratos Team: Falinks, Doublade (shiny btw), Marshadow, Yveltal (because it's canonically a destroyer), Celebi (taken from the Sisters of Fate), and Groudon (given to him by Gaia).

Other Greek Era Pokemon-related stuff:

Calliope has a Jigglypuff.

Most Gods have teams themed on Types, much like Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members. Zeus is Electric, Poseidon is Water, Hades is Ghost, Hephaestus is Steel, both Ares and Helios are Fire, etc. In a way, Kratos killing them is like he's collecting their badges lmao

Aphrodite is an exception to the above. Her team is "waifu" Pokemon like Salazzle, Lopunny, Tsareena, Gardevoir, and so on.

Athena never has to use her team because she's dead before she gets a chance, but hers is made of Psychic-Types, and almost every one is a Legendary/Mythical.

Pandora has a Litwick and a Riolu, the latter of which was a gift from her father Hephaestus. (She herself is also the Pokemon Magearna, maybe.) She's visited by Jirachi while in captivity, who helps restore her hope.

Deimos borrows half of Kratos's team when they fight against Thanatos, because obviously the guy wouldn't have Pokemon while being tortured for decades.

Moving on to Norse Era Kratos, first game. Doublade would be hidden in the floorboards of his home, just like the Blades of Chaos in canon, until he needs to retrieve them to save Atreus. Faye would've had Pokemon as well, but she wouldn't keep them in balls and would send them away when her death is imminent so they could be free. Atreus also has Pokemon, though the ones he has would also change between games. Because wolves :P

Anyway, the only Pokemon from the Greek Era I could see Kratos holding onto would probably be Falinks, though it wouldn't be the same exact one given the amount of time that passed. A descendant of the original. Falinks would most likely be every Spartan soldier's first Pokemon and it's the one 'mon that's been with him since the beginning. Besides, if he tried to ditch it, it would probably follow him, anyway, as would at least one set of its kids. He wouldn't have Legendaries or the like, because that would draw attention that he doesn't want. And while I recognize the Leviathan Axe was originally Faye's, I still want to give him Kleavor as a reference to it, though he'd probably also have the actual weapon for plot reasons. (I can maneuver around plot reasons for replacing the Blades with Doublade A LOT easier than I can the Axe.) Overall, his team would be made up of useful 'mons for day-to-day life and protecting his family. Early Norse Era Kratos Team: Falinks, Kleavor, Haxorus, Golurk, Lucario (knows Heal Pulse), and Incineroar. Golurk sidelines itself when Doublade is needed for Helheim. Kid Atreus Team, because why not: Dartrix (evolves into Decidueye during the journey to Jotunheim), Perrserker (gift from Faye, akin to her knife in canon), Morgrem, and Rockruff (also evolves, into Dusk Form). He doesn't have a full six yet because he's child who hasn't gone outside of the area around his house yet.

Come Ragnarok, both Kratos and Atreus would have their teams change, since it's been three years AND the world is in peril. Survival necessitates adaptation, after all. I think Yveltal might come seeking out Kratos again, feeling they're needed, but senses how much Kratos has changed and they gladly accepts being rejected and wishes him luck in his endeavors. So he has the chance to bring in a destroyer, but doesn't :P He will have mostly Legends/Myths, though, even if it's because they approach him to be on his team. Here's my thoughts for his final team, as well as Wolf Boi Atreus. Ragnarok Kratos Team: Kleavor, Reshiram, Marshadow (came back, is calmer than they were when they helped Kratos kill the Greek Gods), Solgaleo, Shaymin (Sky Forme), and Zeraora. Doublade is also there as always and Kratos uses it as well, and yes it's breaking the rules but idgaf. If Volo can do it, so can Kratos! Teen Atreus Team: Lycanroc (Dusk Form), Zacian (Crowned Sword), Zamazenta (Crowned Shield), Rayquaza (capable of Mega Evolution, allusion to the World Serpent of course), Grimmsnarl, and Decidueye. I wanted to give him both forms of Zoroark, too, but most of his team needs to be wolves, imo, and I was aiming for balance I guess.

Other Norse Era Pokemon-related stuff:

Mimir had Pokemon before he was fused with a tree, which were taken from him. He doesn't know where they are or what may have happened to them, though given it was Odin who took them, he fears the worst. They were Whimsicott, Chatot, and Sableye.

Mimir claims to have befriended Enamorus, but very few believe that Pokemon even exists, let alone that he could've charmed her.

Freya's team in the first Norse game lacks Legends/Myths and relate more to her designation as the Witch. Hatterene, Braixen, and Mismagius, plus Torterra for Chaurli and a White Flower Florges to help with foraging/planting, with her final 'mon being a Blissey for healing reasons.

Freya's Ragnarok team is all Legends/Myths. Articuno, Moltres, Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, Xerneas, and Mewtwo (once belonged to Baldur :3). Mostly birds because she can turn into one, which in this universe would be like Talonflame or one of the pre-evos of it.

Odin's team would also be all the OP 'mons, but they'd also be Shadow Pokemon, a fact no one would know until Ragnarok actually comes. AND he has Eternatus in its strongest form in the final battle. He still loses.

Thor's got all Electric-Types, much like Zeus. He intends to give his (shiny) Zeraora to Thrud before he...Thrud still gets Zeraora, eventually. Thrud's team is made up of mostly Fighting-Types, btw. And kinda related, Sif has both a Hatterene and Grimmsnarl because...hair.

Baldur's team would be all the 'mons that are good at avoiding damage. Actually, his team would probably be "hacked" by magic to all have the Wonder Guard Ability as long as he is invulnerable to all damage. Maybe I'll make up a team for him at some point.

Side note, Alphas roam the Nordic realms.

Heimdall spams evasion and accuracy moves since most people don't have moves that never miss. Also Protect, Detect, and the like. Probably has Toxic on every 'mon as well.

Angrboda has a Smeargle--almost every Giant has at least one--as well as a Bouffalant (Jalla :P) and a Ninetales. Ironwood is full of a lot of Lycanrocs of all forms, Sawsbucks, Florgeses and their pre-evos, and all sorts of other 'mons that don't belong to anyone. Mew is there, too, and is partly responsible for Atreus's trips to and from Ironwood.

Brok and Sindri each have three Pokemon, though they're no so much for battling as they are for helping with blacksmith stuff. Brok's 'mons are Muk (because Brok's gross lol), Carkoal (heating up and tending the forge), and Gurdurr (holding shit in place). Sindri's are Gardevoir (Psychic means no need to get hands dirty), Alolan Raichu (electric-powered mechanisms plus benefits of Psychic), and Excadrill (for excavating). Brok also had "Fucking Gratitude" for a while, who was a Numel or Camerupt, but you know what happened to her haha. A Tinkaton likes to show up and help every now and then, because hammering and reworking metal is what she does.

That's all I got, which is far, far too much for me, a humble ygo blogger, to have done for two unrelated games. I started this last night shortly after making the original post and am just now finishing it, so...

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

If GoW and Yu-Gi-Oh! existed in the same universe and Kratos managed to survive to modernish times and chose to play the very important children's card game...

idk what deck he'd run, but I do know it'd be capable of curbstomping any kind of God card.

Mimir (he'd obviously still be with Kratos) learns the card lore but gets absolutely pissed that there's archetypes related to Norse mythology and it's mostly Aesir. He respects the Valkyrie archetype, though. And while the card doesn't look anything like his beloved, he'd keep a copy of Valkyrie Sigrun for sentimental reasons :3

...Why did I make this post?

[theoi-crow]

Hiya! Real quick thanks for all you do on here. Safe feeling, friendly spaces like this are sometimes hard to find in this community. I was wondering—I have felt drawn to both Prometheus, and to Zeus as of late. Is honouring both a contradiction? I feel like the gods are more nuanced and bigger than their myths obviously but I’m also curious about the general view on this sort of scenario. Thanks so much again for everything!!

Hi,

Thank you for the compliment!

I do what I can to make sure my followers have a safe space to ask questions they would normally be afraid to ask due to the community not always being kind. I hope I'm able to continue being a safe space for you and everyone who needs it.

As for your question...

Most of the Greek gods have a story where they don't get along:

1. Athena, Poseidon and Hera at some point tried overthrowing Zeus according to the Iliad but people still keep all of them on their altars.

2. Zeus and Hera have terrorized and belittled Ares on multiple occasions but I and others still have them share the same altar.

3. Aphrodite, Hera and Athena have had their issues but again, people put them on the same altar with no issue.

4. Zeus and Apollo have had moments where Zeus almost sent Apollo to Tartarus, etc.

Basically, most Greek myths have problems where the gods are feuding either with each other or a human is pitting them against one another like the story of Hippolytus where he belittles Aphrodite while comparing her to Artemis whom he puts on a pedestal above not just Aphrodite, but all the gods.

Prometheus and Zeus are complicated:

Most people assume Zeus was mad at Prometheus for tricking him into accepting less meat offerings from mortals but there's a theory that Zeus didn't want men to get fire because it would accelerate their evolution and he worried they would eventually destroy the Earth. Seeing how climate change is a thing driven by corporations and wars run by mostly men, I'd say he wasn't wrong.

But the story is more of a testament to Prometheus's love for his creation than it is an issue between him and Zeus.

Another thing most people don't take into account is the fact that:

Prometheus only created cis men! while Zeus and the gods created women and other people within and outside the gender binary.

As shown in the story of Pandora where Hesiod claims women are a punishment to men from the gods, for Prometheus's defiance.

And the story of Hermaphroditus where in an effort to not have Hermaphroditus feel alone, Hermes creats dysphoria and non cis people within and outside of the gender binary.

Prometheus alone is often credited with creating mankind and we often assume mankind includes all genders but we forget he only made cis men.

The gods' interference with cis men by introducing people of all genders brought balance:

and hope to not just Prometheus (who depended on Io's bloodline to birth Heracles who was fated to free Prometheus), but to the gods themselves since we now see women, men and people from within and outside of the gender binary fighting climate change, toxic masculinity, war and corporations.

The Media and it's influence on our view of Zeus and Prometheus:

The idea that Zeus and Prometheus are still feuding stems from the modern media's interest in mythology and obsession with having a savior sacrifice himself for mankind much in the same way that Christianity claims to have a savior sacrifice himself as well because the media has a history of being influenced by Christian imagery.

The modern media loves presenting Prometheus as a proto-Jesus while they continue to demonize Zeus in an effort to remind people of why Christianity was right to replace Greek gods. 

In the end Zeus and the rest of the gods brought balance to Prometheus's original vision and I believe the world is a more beautiful place because of it.

I hope this helps!

*cracks knuckles*

OKAY so the premise is still technically a WIP but for now, let's say that the only reason Earth is under control AND at peace is because all the gods are marrying each other (all pantheons exist in this btw, they're all incarnates with different names and faces though) and making agreements for this thing to happen and for that to be executed, etc., etc.,

reagan is basically in place of zagreus: she's the boss who runs around managing everything around her (which means killing off what she deems unnecessary to earth's existence in the form of a cosmic paper shredder), the genderless god of blood sworn to protect earth and the living who inhabit it. she doesn't know her title as of the story just like zagreus, so everyone's just making guesses based on what she's like especially since she doesn't really use her powers in front of people.

brett is in place of aphrodite: obviously i'm taking advantage of brett being like, canonically super hot so i just decided he'd be the god of beauty who's business partners with reagan and was randomly hired because. well. "you need a co-leader to relax, reagan!" - jr, somewhere. but also because it would be "easier" for people to capture reagan's interest if she had some eye candy on her. he's the god of beauty and luck, so whenever reagan's in a fight he's usually there to help especially with defense mechanisms

gigi is in place of oshun/apollo (just to summarize, oshun is the yoruba goddess of oshun, i checked every fucking afro-american religion only to find ZERO pantheons so i was like *cracks knuckles* back to the roots BABYYYY) anyway she's the goddess of love and sight, meaning of which she can manipulate people's feelings and also change their perception, essentially a more complicated version of what she does in the show.

andre is in place of jacheongbi: he's the god of nature, helping out tamiko who's the goddess of spring. he's on-and-off with gigi but it is what it is. in order to cope with the times he spent in tartarus, he started growing drugs from his body and continually uses it in response to stress reactions.

myc is still a mushroom. he's the god of psychedelia but the thing is, he took so much psychedelics he literally BECAME one lol

now i had to make research on possible mer-gods or gods that happened to live by thes ea, but with the way glenn is i was like "should i even give this dude a god status... lol" but anyway just in case: he replaces poseidon. ya

JR is the main god running the show. though while it used to be run by two gods (cough one of them being rand COUGH) he's the one who's handing out objectives and shit like that so he could ascend further past the realm to be a titan like the rest of the shadow ppl

for now that's pretty much it!! i'll probbaly think of some other stuff regarding this au but for now im reveling that i can mash my 2nd fav video game with my currrent fav show wkjslkjwejweaf <333 hope you enjoyyyy
