Assert your boundaries; make it clear when they have been crossed
Get a candle that reminds you of them - one for each or one for both (no altar needed)
Wear jewelry that reminds you of them
Keep a picture of them in your wallet
Exercise; move throughout your day, even just stretching
Learn about self-defense; carry a self-defense weapon (pepper spray, pocket knife, etc.)
Attend a protest (please be aware of your own safety in doing so)
Have a stuffed animal bull, horse, lion, dog, vulture, or other carnivorous bird
Have imagery of weapons, shields, armor, battles, warriors/fighters, chariots, or causes you deeply support around
Face your fears; challenge yourself by exposing yourself to things you're afraid of
Watch an action movie, anime, show, etc. that you enjoy
Engage with the horror genre; watch a horror movie, play a scary video game, read a horror based novel, etc.
Gather with friends around a fire at night and tell scary stories
Try something you've been putting off; take a risk; if you're scared, do it scared
Dance/sing to music that makes you feel empowered, badass, or brave
Support humanitarian efforts, especially those related to conflicts/wars; support human rights or abuse survivor organizations
Learn how to properly use a weapon, especially a spear or sword
Carry a charm that instills courage in or protects you
Practice emotional regulation; learn to express your emotions in a healthy way, especially anger
Prioritize your own well-being; taking care of others is good, but make sure you're meeting your own needs first
Collect animal bones (please thank the animal's spirit beforehand); engage in vulture culture
Be spontaneous; do something fun and adrenaline-pumping
Find ways to express yourself, even if it's small (bracelet that represents your gender, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, wear your hair how you want to, etc.)
Wear a scary costume; make your own scary mask (I'd wear it on Halloween or for an event, but you can wear out in public if you want! Always ask permission from stores before wearing a masked costume first)
Encourage others to be themselves; encourage yourself to do so
Eat something spicy; eat something meaty
Drink something with cinnamon in it, such as tea or cinnamon latte; drink whiskey or fireball (if able obviously)
Draw something scary or ominous; draw to express your anger or fear
Draw, decorate, make, etc. a shield with a scary face or monster on it; this makes for good protection and was a common practice; using something scarier to scare off the scary things
Practice embracing the chaos of life; life is what happens when we're making other plans

This is my list of subtle ways to worship Phobos and Deimos for now! I may add more to it later. I hope someone finds this helpful and that y'all enjoy this. ❤️

New alter set up.
Plushies for the gods
My own dead people
Something that gives me no end of comfort is I can be talking about the gods:
Hypnos and Thanatos for example - I refer to them as *the sleepy boys*.
Loki, Dionysus, Pan and say - *the theys*.
Demeter, Hera, Leto, Frigg, Sygin - and say *mothers*.
Zeus, Ares, Hades, Odin - *big daddy*.
Persephone, Aphrodite, Hestia, Artemis, Athena, Hel, Freyja, Idun and say *the ladies*.
Hephaestus, Hermes, Posideon, Thor, Tyr, Baldor, Hemidall and say the *boys * or *uncles*.
Deimos and Phobos I call *the twins*.
I like that there is an endless number of them. From all different pantheons.
I can comb through until I find the ones that stick.
I don't have to pick one and be done.
I don't even have to like them or their myths to give them appreciation. I can just be like, hey, there you are. Give a nod.
I'm allowed to be like, wow, that's uncool, we don't do that anymore, jot that down.
I know many perscribe to some form of religious aspects. Where as, I, like my man Hermes, am liminial. I move around and between. Find the cracks and poke around.
I love that that is okay.
I can just do whatever floats me for the day. Call to whomever I feel pulled to.
Freedom.

𝘼𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 101
Tumblr media
Hi! I’m Raven (or Ray), and I’ve been an Ares devotee for almost five years now. You want to start worshiping him? Great! Despite what today’s media makes of him - which I will talk about a lot in this post - , he’s actually a very caring, gentle and (dare I say) beginner-friendly deity! In general, a great choice! (Also, this is inspired by another post I saw but forgot to save - so, credits for the idea goes to that person) So, let's get started.
WHO IS ARES? - MODERN MISCONCEPTIONS
Tumblr media
Since I’m assuming you already know the broad strokes of who he is (Greek god of war, bloodshed, violent and so forth), this section will be about some of the misconceptions most people have of Him. If you’ve ever consumed any Greek mythology-related media, I’m sure you’ve seen the following caricature: beefy, misogynistic, violent, stupid jerk, rude and always looking for a fight. While, yes, He IS violent (He's the god of war, afterall), that's far from all He has to offer.
Did you know Ares is actually historically a major feminist? That’s probably the first thing to get demystified about Him when you talk to an Ares devotee or worshiper, so I’m not really saying ground-breaking news here, but since a fair amount of people don’t know about it, I thought it was a fair mention. So, let’s get into the actual myths and proofs for this claim:
Ares was the father of and supported the Amazons in battle, a group of female-only warriors and hunters.
He’s one of the only male deities in Greek mythology to not have sexually harassed or raped someone. Yes, even other deities viewed as “nice” such as Apollo and Hermes have done so (I don’t mean any disrespect for those deities here - I’m also an Apollo devotee).
Ares was held in trial for the murder of Halirrhotius, a son of Poseidon, after he raped one of Ares’ daughters, Alkippe. He was acquited of murder by the gods. Remember, back in ancient Greece, women didn’t have ANY rights - raping one was not considered a crime or even frowned upon as far as I'm aware.
One of His epithets is “Ares Gynaikothoina", which means "feasted by women". During a war between the Tegeans and the Spartans, the women of Tegea defended the city from a invasion led by the Spartan king Charilaus. After arming themselves, they defeated the Spartans following an ambush. Among the prisoners was the Spartan king himself. In commemoration, they would hold a feast in honor of Ares, to which only women were invited.
All in all, Ares is protective, just, and encouraging of His children as well as worshipers and devotees. He’s not the piece of shit jock most people think of when you mention His name. Please stop doing my man this dishonor, He deserves so much better.
BASIC INFO
Tumblr media
His Roman counterpart is Mars. He’s the son of Zeus and Hera, and his consourt is Aphrodite (even though they’re not officially married). His divine children are Phobos and Deimos (twin daimones/personified spirits of panic and terror, respectively), Harmonia (goddess of harmony and concord), Antero (erote/god of requited love) and Eros (erote/god of carnal love), all which he had with Aphrodite, as well as Drakon of Thebes (a giant serpent), which he apparently had by himself.
As for hero children; Cycnus (a bloody-thirsty men who was murdered by Herakles), Diomedes of Thrace (who had man-eating horses for some reason), Thrax (who founded Thrace), Oenomaus (Greek king of Pisa), and the Amazons (female warriors and hunters as mentioned above).
His symbols and associations are: spears, swords, helmets, armour, dogs, chariots, shields, The Chariot & The Emperor tarot cards, etc.
FESTIVALS AND DAYS
Tumblr media
Tuesdays are holy to Ares and are ruled by the planet Mars (again, his Roman counterpart), which means they’re associated with action, energy, strength, and courage, as well as the color red.
As for festivals, He was typically honored with special rites in times of war or just before battles. There were also two annual festivals: one in the town of Geronthrae in ancient Laconia, celebrated only by men, and one in Tagea in Arcadia, celebrated only by women, where His "feasted by women" epithet came from. There's hardly any info on exact dates (from the Attic calendar or not) or info about any other festivals.
SACRED ANIMALS
Tumblr media
Serpents
Dogs
Vultures
Woodpecker
Barn owls
Eagle owls
SACRED PLANTS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s no plant, flower or tree traditionally associated with Ares, unfortunately, so I’m gonna give a list of my UPG’s. Now, I’m not a witch, so I don’t know about the magical properties of the plants I’m about to list (if you’re a witch and were looking for something like that, my bad). However, I am a florist and have a special interest in floriography, so I assign them to Him based on vibe, meaning, etc.
Amaryllis (Means “Pride”)
Basil (Means “Hate”)
Water hemlock (Means “Death”)
Snapdragon (Means “Presumption”, but I think he just likes the way it looks)
Poppy (Means “Eternal sleep”, but has a long history with wars, being the first kind of flora to start growing in abandoned battlefields that were previously considered infertile)
Nettle (Means “Cruelty”)
Magnolia (Means “Dignity”)
Yarrow (Means “Cure for a broken heart”, and is said to have been used by Achilles to heal his men on the battlefield, which is why the scientific name is “Achillea”)
Ginger (Associated with “Heat”)
Pepper, spices, etc (idk he just gives the vibes)
OFFERINGS & DEVOTIONAL ACTS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly, the only slander Ares should be getting is that He likes edgy teenage boy things. That being said, here's some ideas/suggestions, first for devotional acts and then offerings:
Workout or do any kind of physical activity
Take care of your mental and physical health
Stand up for yourseld and what you believe in
Learn about past wars, battles, and riots
Do things that make you feel badass/brave/empowered
Go to a protest
Work on managing your anger (especially for my fellow BPD havers)
Pet a dog
Honor His children and Aphrodite
For offerings; any kind of meat, especially red
Anything sharp (cool knives or daggers, broken glass, etc)
Bones!!
Halloween decor (I personally have those fake plastic snakes, spiders, and a skull on His altar)
Black coffee, the stronger the better
Any alcohol, but especially whiskey
Anything spicy
WHY WORSHIP ARES? - A PERSONAL RANT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Living in an extremely physically abusive household, I had to know and be acostumed to violence from a very young age. That violence left with many things - BPD and C-PTSD, to name a few - but mostly importantly, it left me only being able to feel one thing: anger.
I was angry at everything. Angry at the world for allowing me to have to live through such a horrible situation, angry at my mom for not standing up for me, angry at my abuser, even angry at myself for not ever trying to fight back or protect myself (though now I realize that was completely out of the question. I was only 8, what could I have done against a man in his 30's that was three times my size?).
That anger didn't go away after I got away from my abuser. If anything, it grew worse. I'd yell, break everything around me, say horrible things to the people I loved - I was a totally different person. I could barely recognize myself. I was an empty shell, filled with absolutely nothing else than the purest form of resentment and wrath, things that had been brewing inside of me since I was a child. I never had the choice to become anything else.
Ares understands violence. He's the god of it. He knows when it's justifiable and when it's not, when it serves a purpose and when it's out of pure malice. He helped me realize that instead of trying to fight against my anger out of the shame it made me feel, I had to embrace it - become one with it. It's a part of me, at the end of the day. I just had to figure out how to control it instead of letting it control me.
He embraced me when I was too disgusted with this ugly side of me to even look in a mirror. I was scared of myself - he wasn't. He's seen worse. I never had someone accept me and all my flaws before, god or otherwise.
That's why it's so upsetting to see the modern depictions so many people have of him. Someone so understanding and loving being defined by the worst parts of Himself, just like I used to do with myself in the past.
Ares is the god of war, war is not the god of Ares.

Hey Aster! Could we get a guide on Ares please?
Ares, Greek God of Everything Kind and Sweet: A Guide
Just kidding, of course.
Hi! I'm Astin/Aster and this is my guide to Ares. A disclaimer before we begin, this is going to be bare-bones basic. I will not be going over any specific myths in the post. Hope this is helpful!
Tumblr media
Ares is the god of war and thus peace, as appeasing him would thus prevent war, bloodshed and bloodlust, violence, anger/rage, manliness, rebellion. Something to note is that Ares is less of the strategy involved in war, and more of the actuality of it. He is not only a god of war but the personification of it.
His parents are Zeus and Hera, and his lover was Aphrodite. With Aphrodite, according to Hesiod's theogony, he has three children, Phobos (Terror), Deimos (Fear), and Harmonia (Harmony).
Sacred Symbols, Animals, and Epithets
His symbols are the spear, as well as armor, particularly the helm and shield.
His sacred animals were:
Serpents- he is frequently depicted with one and has myths regarding serpents.
Barn owl, eagle owl, and woodpecker, as shown:
Antoninus Liberalis, Metamorphoses 21 (trans. Celoria) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Zeus loathed them [the giants Agrios and Oreios] and sent Hermes to punish them . . . But Ares, since the family of Polyphonte [mother of the giants] descended from him, snatched her sons from this fate. With the help of Hermes he changed them into birds. Polyphonte became a small owl whose voice is heard at night. She does not eat or drink and keeps her head turned down and the tips of her feet turned up. She is a portent of war and sedition for mankind. Oreios became an eagle owl, a bird that presages little good to anyone when it appears. Argios was changed into a vulture, the bird most detested by gods and men. These gods gave him an utter craving for human flesh and blood. Their female servant was changed into a woodpecker. As she was changing her shape she prayed to the gods not to become a bird evil for mankind. Hermes and Ares heard her prayer because she had by necessity done what her masters had ordered. This a bird of good omen for someone going hunting or to feasts."
He is also associated with horses, as his chariot is pulled by them.
Another notable animal are the bronze bulls, depicted as so:
Ovid, Heroides 12.39 ff : "The condition is imposed [by King Aeetes] that you [Jason] press the hard necks of the fierce bulls at the unaccustomed plow. To Mars [Ares] the bulls belonged, raging with more than mere horns, for their breathing was of terrible fire; of solid bronze were their feet, wrought round with bronze their nostrils, made black, too, by the blasts of their own breath."
Notable Epithets:
Thêritas - Beastly, brutish
Gynaikothoinas - Feasted by women
Enyalios - Warlike
Khrysopêlêx - Of the golden helm
Obrimos - Strong, mighty
Worship
His This section is going to be mainly UPG, so if you think of something else you'd like to do or give, please do so, as long as it is respectful.
Sacred Day:
Tuesday
Offerings:
Snake symbolism
Symbolism of His sacred birds
Spicy food 
Feathers from His sacred birds (sourced ethically)
Self defense weapons
Imagery of Him
Devotional Activities:
Workout or do physical activity
Go to a protest
Stand up for yourself and what you believe in 
Work on anger management 
Honor Aphrodite and their children together
Do something you're really passionate about

Ares, the god of war 🩸
Also including an Aphrodite ref sheet that I've had 90% finished for like the last 8 months but hadn't bothered to finish until just recently lol
Anyways buckle up because I'm about to start YAPPIN
I wasn't sure how this was gonna go at first because I don't have a lot of experience with designing male characters and it's not something I typically enjoy but I really like how he turned out and I really enjoyed the process. I was like wait this is fun actually, it's different than what I usually draw.
I've been wanting to do something with Ares for a long time because I think he's really slept on in the Greek mythology community. I think Ares and Aphrodite probably have the healthiest relationship in Greek mythology and I've always found it interesting that the ancient Greeks paired Love with War
I've seen people talk shit about Aphrodite like "oh she cheats on her husband, that's so shitty" like,, you mean the husband she was forced to marry? Ok... But on that note I think Aphrodite and Hephaestus's marriage is interesting and it is something I plan on doing something with. Hephaestus is another one of the few seemingly upstanding men in Greek mythology so I feel like he treats Aphrodite with respect and they find love between each other after some time, in their own way.
Something I always think about is Ares is such a good dad?? He's often depicted in statues with Eros and in war is almost always accompanied by Deimos and Phobos. like yes, spend quality time with your children, so cute <3 Also he supports his Amazon daughters. He unalives a man who assaulted his daughter and it pisses off Poseidon so bad that they INVENT court to put him on trial just for Ares to go "Yeah I did it, and I'd fuckin do it again" and gets acquitted
Back to my Ares design. I thought it would be interesting if his scars were transient, as in not really permanent scars but more like very slowly healing wounds filling with ichor. The only way he can scar permanently is if the injury is inflicted on him by another immortal...
Stole the glowy hair from Disney's Hercules because that shit is peak character design
I was not going to draw any helmets at first because... I didn't want to lol but I read that he like almost always had his helmet. Like he's showing up to fancy dinners carrying his helmet. So I was like okay fine have your emotional support helmet lol
His spear is a gift from Aphrodite, it has a little heart design engraved into it <3 I find Warlike Aphrodite VERY interesting and I like to imagine her having a surprisingly strong affinity for conflict
Personality wise, Ares tries to put up a tough guy "whatever. I don't care act" but he is actually very much a people pleaser and has a distinct desire to be accepted. He is keenly aware that he is not well liked among the gods nor the mortals. He is not the beloved, wise, tactical Athena. He is Bloodlust and Carnage, he is the ugliest sides of war. To most mortals he is a god to appease, not worship.
He loves his mother, and he is her favorite child. He has spent his life defending her, even as a child and even against his father. He is not well liked by his father, but this is typical of Zeus, who is paranoid that one of his sons will eventually continue the family's proclivity for patricide.
Anyways thank you for reading my essay. I will be making more Aphrodite/Ares content very soon. I hope you enjoy

Urban Gods Worship System
(I'm terrible at posting information about this project xD; )
So in the world of Urban Gods, it's basically the world of the myths, they just have cars and Instagram (btw, I'm open to suggestions on how to make "Instagram" a Greek mythology pun xD), and I wanted to come up with a replacement for animal sacrifices since that's no longer really a thing in our modern day society. While it is common to use altar worship, item and food offerings and prayers of a lot of modern worshippers in our world, since this is a world where gods are also active members of society, there's another, far more popular method - patronizing establishments owned by the gods themselves.
Several major gods own restaurants, hotels, chain stores and other establishments, while more minor gods, as well as nymphs, satyrs, and other benign creatures, will often be employed there. The following is a master list of establishments I have plotted out so far, and who owns and works for them...
Hades - Inferis - A subterranian casino resort in Athens; Charon, the Furies and the Keres will cycle working the different security posts, Thanatos works as waitstaff in the bar/restaurant areas, Hypnos works the front desk on the hotel side, Hecate appears to work some sort of upper management position, and Minthe works as the casino host at the beginning of the story, eventually being replaced by Persephone. Hermes frequently works as a bartender, and all other positions are often filled by unnamed nymphs, gorgons, and other Underworld creatures.
Zeus - Vronti - A luxury hotel chain, with the flagship location in Athens, overlooking the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Thetis works as the concierge, Hermes will work odd jobs throughout the whole building, Hephaestus leads the maintenance crew, and Hera appears to have some sort of job there, but it's somewhat unclear exactly what as through most of the story she and Zeus are hovering between their good terms and their bad terms xD
Poseidon - Atlantis - A small chain of beach tiki bars with "hidden" drug den areas. I haven't quite worked out where the flagship location is, but most of the time the location seen is the one in Athens. And yes... Athena hates that he has a location in Athens, which Poseidon denies being because of his grudge. Claims, "Well, my brothers have their flagship locations here, mortals would ask questions if I didn't, too...!" Pretty much all positions are filled by different sea nymphs and creatures and aren't individually identified yet.
Demeter and Dionysus - A farm/vineyard in Sicily with a shop attached. Basically it's an enormous farm property that different parts are run by Demeter or Dionysus, Persephone basically runs the shop, Plutus offers financial consulting, Triptolemus cares for the animals on site, and various nymphs and satyrs assist in other areas. Additionally, Dionysus also works as the drink master for all three of the kings' establishments.
Athena - A university in Athens. Not much else is developed about it so far as the only scene written involving it is a brief shot of a classroom and just exposits how the gods are "technically not related" according to my world, but Athena is the dean as well as teaching classes.
Hephaestus - Has no direct stores or anything, but is basically the diving force behind mortals developing computers and robotics.
Ares - Basically runs the this world's equivalent to the UFC, which, because it's run by Ares is a mite more violent than in our world. He also has a gym he operates in Sparta that Phobos and Deimos can often be seen working as personal trainers ar.
Aphrodite - A chain of adult toy stores that are franchised to Eros and the rest of her and Ares' kids, while she'll also offer love advice for a fee at the flagship location in Sparta (somewhere within walking distance to Ares' gym).
Apollo - Works as a pop idol, beyond that I don't really have much developed.
Artemis - Like Apollo, not very developed yet, but the idea that she runs a popular hunting blog.
Hestia - Owns a spa resort known for its luxurious food and services.
More will be edited in as I develop more/remember things as I was sick from stress at the original time of posting this. Follow me for more updates on this project and incorrect quotes! :)

Ignatius Mycenae
Legacy of Perseus, Slayer of Medusa & King of the Mycenae | Devotee Of Lord Ares, Worshipper of the Chthonic Gods
Tumblr media
[Moodboard Created By Me | Images All Found On Bing]
Tumblr media
Name: Ignatius Mycenae
Ignatius - "Fire"/"Firey"
Mycenae - The City That Perseus Ruled Within Mythology; Named After Either The Cap That Fell Off His Sword [Myces] At The Sight, Or While Drinking Water & Picking Up A Myces/Mushroom In The Process
Parentage: Legacy of Perseus; Of The Direct Royal Line
Pronouns: He/Him - "It/Its" In Spirit
Age: 18
Tumblr media
↳ Imagine being a legacy of the hero Perseus... yet holding a Medusa tattoo. Fucking pathetic, right?
Tumblr media
Ethnicity: Chilean
Backstory:
Somewhere along the lines of--the probably tragic parts--History™️, Ignatius's Ancestors moved to the "bottom" of South America to live their lives in/among Spanish Culture. From 16 on--once he finished High School early & graduated--he juggled between Olympus as his "job" (to run parts of the "Camps" and afterschool activities) and living with his family in Chile. He's still shit at Offering things and keeping up with the Deities--he's always been--but something settles in him now. Just a little bit, to see Olympus in all its glory and to know he's apart of that, just like he's apart of his own family. Of course, he still gets grilled for being so far from his family sometimes but he likes the chaos of everything. It makes the little things worth it.
Powers: Increased Strength, Speed, Durability, & Endurance
Weapons: Wrench, Sarcasm, Deception
Tumblr media
Characters That Inspired My Creation Of Him: Leo Valdez, Jim Street, Penelope Garcia, Feminine Rage Songs, Most Villains
Likes: Fixing Things & Being Useful; Mischief; Interacting With Children; Teaching [He Wants To Be A Teacher...]
Dislikes: Bullies [Very Known For Beating Them Up Back When He Was Younger]; Abusers [Especially Child-Abusers... He Likes To Take Missions Specifically For That]; The Sun [Very Bright :))]
Enemies: "The Gatsby"
Tumblr media
Fun Facts:
Funnily enough... the last name did not come from his family originally, despite being the direct descendants of Lord Perseus, but instead from a... vaguely distant relative that one of them married & then continued the line with :)). It's a small world, isn't it? /lh
He teaches Mechanics to the kids upon Olympus during his free time and during the Summer. He would be apprenticing under Hephaestus, but he hasn't particularly worked himself up to that yet. Hephaestus is patient, though, and allows it to happen under his watchful eye to make sure things are okay.
Ignatius--"Ignis"/"Iggy" to the kids--worships the Chthonic Gods primarily because he likes how gruesome their domains are--it's soothing, somehow, especially because they kind of remind him of his own, big, weird family. Everyone ultimately cares about each other but they all have their own lives to go about and function within. Ignatius is and will always be horrible at Communicating and Offering to his Gods--it just always slips his mind until the dead of night and he'll go weeks without Worship even occuring to him, even though he sees and interacts with them everyday. It's amusing, at this point, to Lord Hades and Phobos & Deimos, and he gets lightly teased each time he rushes toward his scruffy altar to beg for Their forgiveness.
...Ignatius's Main Weapon--which is a weapon unique to each demigod, created by their own ichor which runs silently alongside their red blood cells--is a replica of Medusa's Head, complete with the ability to turn those she looks at into stone. He's known this since he was 16 and attacked on the subway with no way to get out. It still remains a huge mystery to mortals, what happens there, but he carries that shame with him everyday. I mean, a Legacy of Perseus--the original slayer of Medusa--carrying Her head around again?
{TW: Implied/Referenced Rape}
[Secretly, that comforts him too. Because, up until he was 14, he had a weird Uncle that would come into his room every night since he was 7 and leave him begging every being he knew (and he knew a lot from his large, polytheistic family) to make it stop. Secretly, he's been wanting Medusa's Head every night, even before she knew what she represents. He feels wrong for begging Medusa to save him just like she did Perseus and his Mother, but there's a strangely feminine voice that stops those sorry's in the middle of their tracks.]
Ignatius and Penelope are the best-est of friends, according to Ignis's childish words. They originally bonded over college--since Ignatius is going to study Philosophy within texts and Penelope is studying Marine Microbiology--but Ignatius just likes to ramble and Penelope enjoys listening, so they get along great & can be found in each others' presence literally whenever possible.
{She's even met his family, on multiple occasions, and he must suffer being asked when they are getting together Every. Single. Time. even when she was actively engaged to another man. Penelope, the menace, just smirked and went to go help his Abuelas and Mother in the kitchen while he sulked with the men of his family.}

Loki got a candle.
Therefore, almost everyone got a candle 😆😅
Yes. I know most associate Loki with red. However, I side more with green and the nature aspect. Also appeared entirely different to me than most others. 🤷🏻‍♀️😅
This was alot of work. I know it doesn't look like it. But I had to clear two whole shelves of books. Some for little library donations and others for storage. All so I had more space 🫡☀️🥰
Chamomile tea for the sleepy boys 💤
Halloween season means lots of changes upcoming lol
Edit
I tried orange for Hephaestus. Be it the candle or what, but it hated burning. So I gave him Ares half used one for now.
Then, the endless amounts of giggles at hephaestus getting Ares left overs ensued.

Oh the Dreams (Hank! Reader)
What the characters want to do in the future with there beloved
2BDamned : Doc wishes that one day the two of them will just leave to live in a house nowhere near the madness of Nevada, while he would go to work they would stay home and clean or take care of there child, He hopes to have at least one child with them so he can come home after a hard day of work and see them making dinner while also taking care of their child.
Sanford: Sanford hopes that one day he and Deimos will live together with them, go one missions together, cook together, just do everything together, all of them would kill the A.A.H.W agents and then in the end they would give him and Deimos a quick kiss before going home, he hopes to have two children one from him, one from Deimos.
Deimos: He wants to get married to both the loves of his live, he want to live in a big house, while he and Sanford go out they stay home and clean and take care of everything, and when they come home they fawn all over them, light his cigarettes for him, and admire all of his skills, like Sanford he wants two kids one from each parent, where you are a loving parent and lover.
The Auditor: Auditor hopes to catch them and stop the madness in Nevada, but he wont kill them, he will keep them hidden in a secret place only he knows about, he hopes that they will fight him at first but slowly start to rely on him, he would want a few kids after all two of the most powerful and dangerous people in Nevada there children would be force's to be reckoned with.
The Sheriff: He wishes that after a hard day at work he can come home to them making dinner and taking care of their kids, he hopes that they will fall in love with him on the spot the next time they see him and never hold a weapon ever again, he would want his lover to be like a stay at home wife taking care of their children, speaking of children he wants he wants a few so that he can keep you tied to him.
Jeb: He wants to save Nevada and all residents and since they cause most of it, he will have to take them away and keep them hidden and he hopes they will admit wrong and beg for forgiveness, he wants them to help him get rid of all the evil and when there done thank him for all the good he has brought, he wants one child so they can raise that child to protect Nevada and others.
Tricky: He wants to take them forcefully, have them kicking and screaming as he drags them away to there new home, he wants them to struggle to get out and leave as he is cuddling them on his couch and later they can play together, he wants three kids one is so you have so much work to do you can't leave him and two he wants to take care of something with his love.
Phobos: He believes that one day his love will betray their friends, go to him and admit there love for him then both of them could take over Nevada then the world, he wants them to worship the ground he walks on and wont question what he wants to do with them, he wants many children so he can teach them how to be a ruler and maybe let them have their own country, but he and his love shall rule the world.
Bonus// oc
Loki: She wants things to go back to the way it was when they were both lovers, sure she may have blamed them for something that was out of their control, but they can go back together, she wants lots of children after all she used to be a mother herself and she loves taking care of babies/children, the one thing she wishes is that they can get married again and live a peaceful life.

My askbox is always open!
🎧 I'm Raven (or Rav/Ray), he/they/it, and I'm an adult. I live in the south of Brazil and speak Portuguese, English and a little Spanish (B1 intermediate, to be more specific). 🏛️ I'm a Hellenic polytheist & Luciferian (does this count as christo-pagan? I'm not sure lmao). I worship Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo, Hermes, Nemesis, Phobos & Deimos, and Lucifer. 💿 I don't have any formal education in the classics or in "proper" Hellenism! My practice is more personal and even revivalist. I'm open to answering questions, but take everything I say with a grain of salt! 🧷 I'm heavily political (I'm an anarcho-communist, in case you're wondering). It's an important subject to me, so DO NOT interact if you don't support:
Black lives matter
LGBT, especially trans rights
Woman's rights (I'm strictly pro-abortion)
Palestine
🔗And also dni if you are: racist, sexist, queerphobe (including mogai and asexuals and what not), TERF (crawl in a hole and die), thinspo/proana, tradfem, transmed/truscum, MAP, fetish blog, fandom blog (nothing against yall but i wanna keep things religious here), harry potter fan ���️ Other than the scum i just mentioned, everyone else is welcome! Feel free to send an ask or message if you have a question or just wanna talk <3 ☁️ Other interests of mine include: any kind of art (I'm more of a digital artist but still), writing & reading, classical literature, and some nerdier stuff like Baldur's Gate 3 and D&D.
Devotional Accounts:
Aphrodite
Apollo
Ares
Hermes
