#Phadra's living an otome game bad ending in this crack alt timeline stg

[superkooku]

This timeline is absolutely insane 😂. I knew it was from the start but your points really just highlighted everything funny and wrong with this whole idea.

Imagine how family dinners would look like, though. Even without the whole Phaedra and Apollo crackship, it'd be horribly cursed and I think Theseus would want to jump out the window. But if we add THEM into the mix, it's so funny.

Theseus

His wife Phaedra

His son Hippolytus who Phaedra fell in love with

His wife's father and political enemy Minos

His wife's mother and daughter of Helios Pasiphae

Theseus' ex and Phaedra's sister Ariadne

An Olympian god and his ex's husband Dionysus

And if we add Apollo, we have his wife's ex AND his ex fiance's husband's half-brother who's also an Olympian god

Theseus and Phaedra's kids

Dionysus and Ariadne's kids

The ghosts of Ariadne and Phaedra's brothers (including the Minotaur lol). Plus the ghost of Aegeus

Let's just bring Artemis at that point, as if there weren't enough gods. Because Hippolytus really needs the emotional support at this point.

Or Zeus because he's basically connected to everyone in this mess except Pasiphae.

And then the possibility that they had kids 😅. Yes, because if the situation isn't cursed enough, imagine if Phaedra and Apollo had kids.

Also, Apollo's only marriage being THIS mess is the cherry on top.

So much rambling for an impossible crackship, I love it !

I was doing some research on Phaedra and stumbled on this gem. After clicking on the research, I was relieved to realize this isn't about Apollo and Phaedra from mythology but two real-life people. The guy is named Apollo Nida and a woman Phaedra Park. I know nothing about these two btw so the details won't be explained.

But now I'm imagining Phaedra somehow having a thing with Apollo, marrying him, then divorce and be married to Theseus afterwards and THEN fall in love with her stepson. As if Phaedra's love life wasn't already a trainwreck.

Or maybe she thought "If my sister can handle marrying an Olympian god, then so can I >:3" before realizing she can't or smth. With Apollo being confused the whole time. Yet another love story that ends up badly for him...

Going from Apollo to Theseus would be a big downgrade but then again, Coronis DID choose to cheat on this gorgeous deity with Ischys who seems remarkably unremarkable so maybe it could've happened. Even though she did seem to want him, contrary to Daphne or Bolina, so she just made a stupid choice.

(note that ofc there is absolutely zero source neither Greek nor Latin even slightly hinting at anything between these two and it's just me making a joke post about an impossible crackship.)

This is such a cursed crackship like,,, I don't even mean that insultingly, I'm just thinking about it as a concept and I'm laughing cause like, okay listen;

Firstly, the idea of Apollo's whole 'never marrying anyone ever' thing being broken - not by any of his consorts, lovers or baby mothers - but by a woman in the line of Helios, specifically from Pasiphae's cursed line, is objectively hilarious. That's just made even funnier with the thought that Apollo's singular, sole marriage somehow still ends in a divorce for a HUMAN -- and not just ANY human either, the mortal man who just waged war against his sister's beloved Amazons and who assaulted and ultimately led to the death of specifically her beloved Hippolyta in that war.

And then, somehow, by some streak of divine providence, neither Apollo nor Artemis vaporises her for that madness, Phaedra ends up falling in love with Hippolyta's only begotten son who Artemis also adores with all her heart leading to what has to be the strangest love triangle of all time where Artemis and Hippolytus love each other platonically while Phaedra just torments herself over her forbidden lust of her stepson (who is also her ex-husband's sister's current favourite mortal and hunting partner!!)

Keep in mind btw, Apollo is one of the gods Theseus respects and actively worships. Like, I'm just reminding the court how interconnected this whole thing is at this point - Theseus is literally credited with the mythical creation of one of The Attic Culture Festivals, specifically Pyanopsia which is not only a major agricultural festival but also got started because Theseus promised Apollo he would give him a bomb dot com offering if he pretty please made sure the Minotaur didn't crush his bones into dust and upon miraculously surviving, he made the world's best bean stew and offered it to the god. Y'know,,, the Minotaur? Phaedra's little brother the Minotaur?? The one whose death she now complicitly celebrates by eating bean stew every pyanepsion with the rest of Athens?

Then, to top ALL of that off, somehow, it STILL takes HIPPOLYTUS BEING AROACE to insult Aphrodite which leads to her cursing Phaedra like Poseidon cursed Pasiphae by intensifying the lust she held for Hippolytus while Theseus is away for Phaedra to actually make a move on Hippolytus which makes him insult her so badly that she kills herself.

All of that. All of that divine entanglement and drama and Phaedra still ends up dying because her stepson called her an incestuous creep.
