The Black Bird Oracle Spoilers

Well, what an appropriate photo to find on google. At last this man is getting the respect he deserves. I imagine though the new job gives him a headache.

Hey! It seems a new Heracles novel will be published, called "HERC" (well, it is announced as a Greek Myth Retelling but they had to choose the Roman name LOL) The subtitle is "Hero, Huband, Father, Monster, Villain"... How can you naked Heracles the villain? It's quite ruthless, if we remember that the craziest shit he did (killing his wife & sons) was done because of Hera's magic. What are your feelings about it? I read somewhere that it's being announced as a "Querer Romance" (Heracles' "friend" Hylas and his nephew Iolaus will be included, it seems), but I don't have any hope about the nivel portraying gay relationships in a positive light TBH...

"HERC"?? wHAT in the Anglophone hell made them cut the name like that?? 🤮 (on top of choosing the Roman name for absolutely no reason other than ignorance)

"Anglophones research 15 mins before writing" challenge

oh, and

"westerners stop villainizing every male Greek hero. You're not cool or deep" challenge

In such books the elements of the og myth look sooo thin in this retelling. Usually the worldbuilding is "yeah there was a palace with columns, and it was summer and it was SO HOT, and there was the sea and they were eating olives and praying to zeus like they are protestant Christians".

Not only my hopes are not high for this but the facepalming percent for this will also probably be high. I mean, creativity is good but I challenge you to go to random Greeks on the street and explain this book to them. The facial expressions you're gonna get will be PRICELESS

Another reason why this trend annoys me is that the readers will be like "omg I LOVE Greek myths" and their definition of "LOVE!" is "I'm reading every western absurd fantasy scenario available on the market, and have no idea about how the og culture sees its hero. This book is enough for me and apparently Hercules sucks".

Just...make another book at this point, with ancient magic and queer couples!

— The king wishes for me and my sister to be married. — As you may remember, Princess, I was not averse to that idea either. — No, but you are averse to the persecution of my sister. You should go and see her, reassure her.

Last night's watch was The After-School Hexer and my husband: a) guessed it was the teacher from the second Mai started doubting it was Kasai, b) asked me if Mai ever acknowledges that she has a crush on Naru, and c) said his favorite character was John.

He also snorted rather loudly whenever Naru was keeping Mai calm with the coin. Naru did the voice and he snorted.

His laugh after reminded me of:

And that's fair. I can see how the sudden shift would be slightly unnerving. Lol. I just always distracted by the cuteness of it.

Day 27: Banquet

Word Count: 973

Summary: A hunter banquet cause why not! Dean being an adorable husband. Catch up on my suptober fics HERE.

---

The family all walked in together, even Eileen who brought Sam in her car because it was a long drive and no point in all of them being piled into the Impala. No matter how small Eileen is she didn’t want to sit in the middle. 

Though only a couple minutes in and the brothers were being pulled to one direction to the other. Eileen looked comfortable enough surrounded by a bunch of strangers, hunters but still strangers. She was the only real likeable one from the bunch of them. Not including his kid but even he gets strange looks from people because he’s… well he’s a strange weird little 5 year old. 

When they got the invitation for this hunter banquet, a dumb idea if anybody asked him, Dean thought they would just ignore it the way they always did. Then Eileen said she wanted to go and in a flip of the switch Sam quickly joined her side as if it was his goddamn dream to go to this damn event. 

Then before Dean can open his mouth to make fun of him for being a whipped boyfriend, Cas spoke over his coffee mug. “Sounds like it’ll be fun. We should go, Dean.”

Dean leaned over and pressed a kiss on his husband’s cheek. “Whatever you want, sweetheart.”

Cas hummed in content while Sam made the damn whipping noise. 

Now they were seperated somewhere in an old hotel that had a pretty big banquet hall, it was all ugly and brown but still pretty big. Didn’t give him the chills at all. Though the thing he found really strange was the fact that people kept trying to get to know him. 

Yeah. He knows that they were these awesome legends in the hunting community, even the monster community tells stories about them, but it was still strange to hear someone talk about their lives to ask if anything was real or fake. Though nobody really asked about any of the big bads they took down, not even Chuck was mentioned. No, what people were more interested in was his personal life. 

“So I heard you're married now.” One hunter, his name is Liam or Lennard, slapped Dean hard on the shoulder to grab his attention. “And that you’re retiring? Wow.”

Dean nods as pushes Liam, he’ll just go with Liam, hand off him as he tries to smile politely at him. “Yeah, both kinds of recent things.”

“So Mrs. making you quit this life.”

“Um, something like that. More like a mutual decision.” Dean addresses Vanessa and Oliver who he was just talking about their most grimiest vamp cases. Then turns back to Liam. “We got the big boss. The younger ones can deal with the vamps and ghouls.”

Vaness and Oliver raised their beer for him in agreement. 

Then Liam scooted in way too close to Dean’s personal bubble. “So did you bring your family?”

“Yeah, they’re somewhere around here.” Dean looked around to see Cas laughing with some people close by so he called him over. Cas meets his eyes and his smile grows as he excuses himself before walking over to him. 

“I have been looking for you. Some people wanted to see the trunk of Baby so I need the keys.” Cas was already patting Dean’s pockets as he talked. Dean then grabbed Cas’s shoulders and turned him around so he could face the people Dean was talking too. “Oh, yes. Hello.”

“This is Cas.” Dean introduces him with an exasperated sigh that got Cas to step on his foot. 

“Nice to meet you. Sorry, for being rude. I’m very forgetful about my surroundings at times.”

“Cas? Hmm,” Liam held his hand out to shake Cas’s hand. “Never heard your name around the hunter circles.”

“Ah, yes.” Cas nodded as he took his hand back. Dean didn’t miss when Cas whipped it on Dean’s shirt. Cause of course he did. “I heard people tend to know me by my full name. Castiel. My name is Castiel. My family calls me Cas.”

An audicable, “Oh!” coursed through the group as eyes widened and maybe there was a sense of pride rushing through Dean. His husband is also becoming a legend among the hunting community.

“The angel?” Vanessa asked a smirk of a smile on her face.

Cas shrugged. “Formal but yes.”

That led to a bunch of questions from Vanessa and Oliver. A crowd even started to gather around them and Dean just stood back to let his huband get all the attention, a warm bubble at the pit of his stomach growing as he watched with a stupid arrogant smile on his lips. Even letting his matching wedding band show a little more as if to say, ‘Yeah, he’s mine.’ Cas even wrapped an arm around Dean’s wasit to hold him close as he talked about how he chose humanity over heaven.

“Was it worth it? Falling?” Someone asked and Dean froze when the question was asked. He always wondered and whenever he asked Cas only responded with a simple yes. Can his answer differ now that a stranger asked him?

“Of course. To be called Castiel Winchester has been my biggest accomplishment.” Cas didn’t even hesitate to answer or even to reach to press a kiss on Dean’s cheek. 

Liam’s expression was priceless when the Mrs. turned out to be another Mr. 

“Everyone settle down! Time to get a seat and let’s get ready to eat!” They heard someone call and a loud cheer swept the room.

“I still don’t trust this place.” Dean muttered into Cas’s hair. “Where’s our kid?”

“Here!” Jack walked over to them with a sneaky grin. “I checked the place out. No monsters but Eileen says you’re not gonna like dessert.”

“What? Why?”

“It’s carrot cake.”

“Fuck that! Cas, let’s go.”
