Hermes: oh my god he’s on his way home! I should tell my uncle he’s going to love this

Hermes on the phone: oh hey Poseidon, first of all when I was at your place the other day I forgot to tell you how much I liked the rearrangement you and Amphitrite did with the living room furniture.

Hermes: second of all, COME OUT OF YOUR HOUSE THERES A HOMELESS MAN RUNNING ON WATER

Poseidon: well Hermes first off thank you, I have to admit I was a little disappointed you didn’t say anything about the living room rearrangement the other day.

Poseidon: second off, OHMYGODIMONMYWAY

Okays I might be tripping but why Hazel who is described to have skin as dark as roasted coffee be so light in fanart and Josephine who is described to have umber skin (??) be portrait with a way darker skin tone

Like I don't think this is a bad thing (making Jo darker than she is I definitely rock with that) but considering that Jo presents herself more masculine and Hazel more feminine I feel like there is... A certain colorism on the part of the fandom

Like I think Jo's case is just another Viria effect but my point about Hazel still

Is it possible for her to hate you even more?

[sunshines-child]

lore Olympus fans are going to HATE this

APOLLO. DID. NOT. RAPE. PERSEPHONE. IN. THE. MYTHS. Rachel did that for her horribly unfinished plot, and because all of y’all have never read actual Greek myths you have immediately bombarded even the APOLLO FROM GREEK MYTH WIKI saying that he raped Persephone. Never happened. I’ve seen so many people get hate for liking Apollo, the MYTH Apollo, because your Rachel Smythe’s self insert webtoon comic said so. i’m done. I was fine with people liking Lore Olympus but the heavy backlash, online hate, and cyber bullying that happens because of this self-insert pussyphone fanfic that completely altered Greek myths says that Apollo “miehmiehmieh”. The only “lore” you know is Lore Olympus.

Redwall but it's bronze/classical age inspired

I'll be honest but...

I'm not really fond of the trope that is nowadays commonly followed in Greek mythology retellings of making Aphrodite and Hephaestus a healthy couple while making Ares a toxic boyfriend (Lore Olympus and God's School, I'm looking at you). Like, surely y'all know that Aphrodite and Ares weren't a toxic couple or anything?

But Aphrodite and Hephaestus are married!

Yeah, and Aphrodite's wedding dress was made out of lies and Hephaestus's wedding dress was made out of regret.

Also, even if you want to romanticise their relationship (like H×P 'retellings') that's okay! I just don't see the need of making Ares a toxic bf?

Randomly had a Thought earlier. Klavier's default response to Kristoph seems to be the fawn response. This isn't even subtext. Apollo and Trucy both point out that Klavier's acting different and specifically attribute it to Kristoph being on the witness stand, and their dialogue implies he's experiencing a fawn response. Here's some specific bits of dialogue.

After pressing the "I have been in solitary confinement for half a year. How could I poison her?" part of Kristoph's testimony:

Trucy: ...Prosecutor Gavin's on the warpath, isn't he? Apollo: Yeah... You think so too, Trucy? Trucy: I bet I know why. He must be nervous with big brother watching!

After pressing the "The prosecution's case holds. She poisoned her father, then attempted to poison herself." part of Kristoph's testimony:

Trucy: Wow, the two brothers together is like a two-man wrecking team! Apollo: They could use a little more teamwork, though.

*Also notable here is that after pressing this specific part of Kristoph's testimony, Klavier starts to answer Apollo's question on why Vera would commit suicide, let alone by doing her nails, and Kristoph answers for him and Klavier just lets him. If that doesn't qualify as a fawn response, I don't know what does, because that's the ONLY time Klavier lets a witness talk over him. Also, Apollo's dialogue here specifically is what made me say Trucy and Apollo's dialogue implies Klavier's experiencing a fawn response.

After pressing the "Surely, you aren't going to suggest I was responsible for poisoning her father, too?" part of Kristoph's testimony:

Trucy: Does Prosecutor Gavin seem strange to you, too? It's like he's all grown-up… Apollo: I think that's how prosecutors are supposed to be, actually. (Though he is acting different than usual... ...I'll bet it has a lot to do with his brother Kristoph being in the room...)

And then Klavier goes completely silent until Apollo brings up the fact that the stamp from the Mishams' studio was found in Kristoph's cell, and he simply says "What...?!" in response to Apollo reiterating that Kristoph killed Drew). And then he goes silent again until Kristoph accuses Apollo of bluffing a second time.

This leads into my second Thought on Klavier's behavior in this entire scene. I might just be projecting but I think Klavier might've been dissociating here too. In fact I'd be surprised if he's not. I personally have OSDD, which causes me to experience dissociative trances and depersonalization. If I was in Klavier's position, it would've at the very least made my depersonalization symptoms worse (which says a lot because I'm already in a near constant state of depersonalization). I'm not really sure what to add here but basically, I think there's a pretty high chance that Klavier was experiencing dissociation during Kristoph's testimony. Fawn responses are commonly traumagenic, and so is dissociation.

Anyway I didn't go into this expecting to admit I'm projecting my OSDD onto Klavier but I'm definitely leaving this admitting I'm probably projecting my OSDD onto Klavier lol
