AU where Persephone and Hades take care of Athena after the events of god games

Support your godly spouse through sudden insecurities

[thelunarsystemwrites]

Solemn God.

Finally drew Lunarst again, he's just watching over his mortals. I know who the other two gods are gonna be, I just need to draw them 😭

[backstabber128]

Here's some sketches of a random crack Arcane x God of War + Ragnarok AU bc of these ideas-- (Also bc the Norse mythology style is absolutely awesome 👀)

I couldn't resist imagining what little Vi & Pow would look like as mini gods with their adult tattoos like Atreus. Also me being delusional imagining Warwick protecting them as part of Vander's shape shifting ability--

Also headcanon that Odin/Silco has mind control powers, hence Vi and Powder vs Warwick rip. He tears their family apart even in this AU 🫠

+ Jinx gaining Baldur-like abilities through becoming Silco's daughter

EURYMENE

(But Eurylochus returns after 20 years 🤍)

Uncensored version below:

After Eurylochus returns, kills Ctimene's husband and met his daughter things still are tense, that until one day, when both of them find the other one at the balcony and finally break, they began to talk abt everything that happened during those 20 years alone, solving the things that caused them so much pain.

Them Ctimene tells him she's pregnant, wich makes Eurylochus cried even more.

(I made this drawing in 4 hrs so theres a lot of mistakes sorry)

I'm just trying to cope with the fact that the wisdom saga will be out in less than a day by making doodles of a monster Au

(I'm not mentally prepared)

I was kind of inspired by : @tagzpite 's Odysseus, their illustrations of the long boi are stunning

Penelope is a siren if you are wondering👉👈

Hermes Kriophoros

"[In the city of Tanagra] There are sanctuaries of Hermes Kriophoros (Ram-bearer) and of Hermes Promakhos (Frontline Fighter). They account for the former surname by a story that Hermes averted a pestilence from the city by carrying a ram round the walls; to commemorate this Kalamis made an image of Hermes carrying a ram upon his shoulders. Whichever of the youths is judged to be the most handsome goes round the walls at the feast of Hermes, carrying a lamb on his shoulders." (Paus. 9.22.1)

We know what to do when the next pandemic hits. We are prepared. Assemble the beautiful boys. Bring forth the lambs.

READY THE BEAUTY PAGEANTS!!!

AU Polites, greeting the world with Open Arms.

Also, this is like a crossover of characters and a joke from different IPs

In case anyone's curious where I got the idea for the dialogue.

[smokey07]

Random doodles to mess around with genetics. I have an unhealthy obsession of drawing family members together.

My HC is that Helen can pull off a full Clytemnestra look when she wants to/ gets angry enough ( see that painting of Clytemnestra with an double axe by John Collier). Helen is on the right btw

Neo is a mix of his father's eyes, overall face shape and build, along with his mother's hair, nose, eyebrow shape and skin tone. The red color was a lighter version of Deidamia's red brown.

From my Iliad AU, the HC is that Diomedes and Neoptolemus are basically the idea of finding your doppelgänger in the middle of the street, absolutely not related but somehow look similar-ish.

While Achilles looks like the perfect hero in a story with a more polished look, Diomedes would look more rugged and Wolverine-like wild.

I drank too much coffe in the evening and now I'm struggling to get some sleep. So have my 1 AM Hyapollo Half-Dead AU (or Zombie AU, which ever you prefer)

Basically Hyacinthus was ressurected from the dead through dark magic or a one-in-a-lifetime glitch in the life-death cycle. He is a bit off and doozy from the sudden shift but still obtains most of his personality. However, due to being a disrespectful defiant to the natural order (I imagine Persephone often call him as such), Hyacinthus cannot eat human food like before or feast on ambrosia like the gods.

So to keep his lover alive and not hungry while not endangering others, Apollo lets Hyacinthus drink his ichor and eat some of his flesh. Yeah, allowing your lover to sustain on your own godly blood if their love language, don't judge.

Apollo is a full god so ichor loss isn't a problem to him. It might hurt when he got bitten, but Apollo is willing to do anything for his defiant-to-the-natural-order Hyacinthus. Anything to keep him well fed and happy.

Edit: I'm gonna re-name this to Theophagy AU. The new one sounds fancier :>

[secretmarvelsideblog]

What I’ve already decided on:

Tony as Hephaestus

Steve as Zeus

Thor/Loki/all Asgardians are not included since they’re already gods

Maybes:

Peter as Dionysus (cause Dionysus is the youngest Olympian, but honestly the vibes don’t fit. Is there a Greek god of spiders?)

Bruce as Poseidon (idk man- vibes???)

Bruce as Demeter (Bruce is green and so are plants???)

If we say that the murder twins are the archery twins- Fury as Athena??? Maybe???

Pepper as Athena- wait actually I really like this one oooooooo

Pepper as Hera????? But that would imply she’s married to Steve and just ewwwww

Pepper as Aphrodite (but specifically the versions of her where she’s also a war goddess- Aphrodite Areia and Aphrodite Urania according to Wikipedia) since she’s married to Hephaestus (Tony)- but Aphrodite is famous for cheating on Hephaestus and Pepper would never so???

Can you tell I’m running out of ideas? Give me all your ideas!!!

Ideally I want to fill all 13 olympians (including both Dionysus and Hestia) plus also Hecate since Wanda- unless there’s someone else Wanda would fit better with. Wanda and Pietro as the archery twins???

Epic au with mermaid!Penelope

Okay, I don’t know a lot about Greek mythology but I like Epic and Odypen enough to write this. I literally have no thoughts on this au except Ody and his crew are like lost at sea and separated from the rest of their fleet and don’t know where to go(maybe Odysseus pissed Posideon off again)

basically a pod of sirens spot them, including Penelope. I image she’s a half siren or some sort of sea creature(mermaid adjacent) who travels with the sirens. The sirens just want to attack them but Penelope offers a different idea. She suggests she pretends to be a human and help them until they find the rest of their fleet. The sirens could follow behind them and when all the humans are in one spot, then they could attack.

Odysseus isn’t dumb. He can tell Since, as Odysseus says, sirens know every route throughout the sea, he pretends to not to know she’s not human and accepts her help. He reassures his crew that he’ll kill her and her pod once they find their way home.

Basically the two fall in love and are kinda stalling to keep their crew/friends from killing the other. This is what I imagine:

Sirens: Penny, why haven’t you given us the signal? It’s been weeks

Penelope who was zoning out while staring at Odysseus’s ass:Umm, it wasn’t the right time. The sun is too high up. I’ll give the signal later!

Eurylochus: Captain, we are getting close to home. We should kill the sirens before we get any closer

Odysseus breaks out of his daydream of imagining his wedding with Penelope: What? No, that would be illogical. If we run into any trouble later we won’t have their help to get us out of it. I promise when we are close enough, we’ll make them all bleed

If anyone actually read this, feel free to add ideas or try to make this au make more sense

Simple meme turned to whole beach episode

[cerseimikaelson]

My brain: You're supposed to be sleeping

Me: I just had an Ares/Aphrodite Modern Myths AU idea.

My brain: Literally no one cares.

Me: But it's a Runaway Bride AU! Aphrodite runs away from her arranged marriage to Hephaestus and literally leaps into Ares' car in her wedding dress!

My brain: That's the death of open communication.

Me: And Ares takes her home and she passes out from shock so he has to carry her over the threshold in her dress! And the neighbours are watching!

My brain: Don't do this to me, come on.

Me: Did I mention it's Christmas themed?

My brain: I honestly fucking hate you.
