I really hate canon LO but the aus and redesigns are just so fun 😔

[foxcackles]

DID HERE MAKE APHRODITE BROKE UP ARES? OR SOME LIKE THAT? AND WHAT ABOUT HEPHAESTUS? HE IS APHRODITE'S EX HUSBAND, AND HE IS BLACKSMITH, I FEEL ARESIS CLOSER HEPHAESTUS BECAUSE ARES NEED HIS WEAPON

AHHH getting into spoiler territory! But don't worry, a lot of juicy drama among these four! Thank you for your question <3

Lore Olympus x Haunted Mansion

"Our tour begins here in this gallery, where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, (im)mortal state."

I've had this concept in my head for a while, of various Lore Olympus characters as the stretching portraits in the Haunted Mansion. Where did this idea come from? I don't know, but both Lore Olympus and Disney are a huge comfort for me so I'm not surprised it happened.

Should I make this into a whole series? I have a few ideas, and maybe I'll extend it to more than just the portraits, but other Haunted Mansion characters too

You're still angry, though.

I love my personal Ares and Persephone designs so much-

[incorrect-au-master]

To Ares: you know, something I have wondered is how did you get impaled on that tree like that in the first place

Ares: oh, funny story actually.

Ares: i was in the mortal realm driving my charriot and a spynx crossed my path.

Ares: of course i got out the charriot to smite her, but i forgot my charriot was flying, so i fell off to the ground before i could remember i could fly...

Ares: aaaad yeah... that's how it happened.

[justmenoworries]

Y'know, for a supposedly oh-so-feminist re-telling of Greek myths it's weird that LO never in any way mentions the Amazons.

Yeah, remember them?

That mythical tribe of warrior women who kicked all kinds of ass? The original girlbosses? Ares' beloved daughters whom he had a very close relationship with?

[ego-sum-deus-fractus]

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?

…

We have been waiting literal years for mama Demeter to go apeshit on this asshole,to kick hiss ass and devastate him to the extent that only a single mother hellbent on protecting her only daughter could.

…and THIS is what we get?

I don’t know if this is a hot take or not, but I dislike it when in modern Greek myth retellings nowadays there’s a side plot of Hera having an affair with one of Zeus’ brothers, Hades or Poseidon.

Webtoon’s Lore Olympus and Netflix’s series Kaos have both done this and I’m already tired of it.

Cabin 5 / Ares Cabin PJO Headcanons

Random thoughts. Kind of bored of not seeing any head-canons for this cabin.

Battle cry/war cry. Like their father Ares who screamed so loud on the battle field that even his worst enemies and allies shivered in fear, they can do something pretty similar in the span of the moment. But doing so takes a great deal of energy and exhausts them. Doesn’t usually happen, since it’s uncommon but it happens the more often you participate in war.

Some Cabin of Ares get along with many of the people in camp, after Clarisse decided to stop bullying people after the first book.

They’re able to understand which moves to make that will give them idealistic results: victory. But some of it can be reckless and they’re not able to think critically about the after effects or what will happen to the people around them if they do.

Cabin if Ares kids have this aura around them that scream power if messed with. It’s not as strong as the children of Poseidon, but it’s more like: mess with me and you’ll wish you could see your mothers face before you die. Similar effects can be found with the Children of Athena.

Most of the kids felt awkward giving food or other offerings to their father at first, since he was a pretty passive and cold parent. But Ares actually sits around and looks forward to seeing their faces and hearing their voices when they offer something in the bonfire during dinner time.

Ares’ favourite thing to do is to watch them fight during a battle, he loves to see what moves they can come up with and see them develop their own unique fighting style.

Many of the kids in the cabin felt insecure about fighting or sparring. The pressure that weighed on their shoulders to be a “master of all weapons” or a “war god” was a heavy burden. Occasionally, they would freeze up if too many people were watching them.

Many people do enjoy watching them spar, since the other cabins do learn a lot from them.

They’re surprisingly good teachers, since they criticise without caring if they hurt another persons feelings. They give good advice if their form, what weapons to use based on what makes them comfortable, power class and sometimes weight. They’re able to give constructive criticism that many people look forwards too, even people in the cabin of Athena look forward to it.

(Annabeth actually only started to improve once she watched some of the kids of Ares spar, since they fight so brutally. Her sparring with Luke inky taught her technique, not aggressiveness and brute force that you sometimes need to win a fight. Luke was good at beating around the bush, or dancing around his opponent to look for an opening to do a great deal of damage— but the children of ares find the most efficient way without feeling much tired).

Many people look up to them since they’re good at wielding all weapons without any proper training, but that doesn’t mean they get lazy. They’re one of the cabins that practice for the longest sometimes skipping dinner—until Chiron told them to stop making that habit, since it would be rude not to thank their father for such skills. (Also, socialising is good).

Many of these kids don’t actually enjoy military training that they got to go through when they finished summer camp. It’s pretty much a pain in the ass. But even so, they’re now good at using camouflage and tactical weapons, and even waiting for their opponent to let their guards down before striking.

They all have this things where if they feel extremely intense emotions during certain things, others in the room will also feel the intensity of it. The problem is that they could make glass shatter if it gets under control.

Sleep with the windows open, and they don’t have any curtains in their cabin. They don’t decorate the inside, but made sure to decorate the outside.

They actually started putting barbed wire on the roof because Hermes and Apollo cabin pranked them by making a bunch of birds shit in their roof - since cabin 5 were such jerks all the time. And they put the wire up to scare away birds.

Dogs are actually scared of some of the kids in cabin 5, no one knows why but I guess the vibes they give off are sometimes a bit too intense for certain animals.

Artemis and Ares are actually get along, not necessarily best friends but they do have respect for one another for wanting to protect young girls.

If any, and I mean ANY of his kids get kidnapped, abducted or even hurt badly— Ares will come in full battle armour ready to save them. He does get scolded by other Gods for ‘meddling in and sticking his nose in mortal business’ but he can’t help it.

Children of Ares often have the feeling to protect people around them, even if they don’t know them at all. During a problematic situation, they take the lead to get people to safety or even scouting out the area since their instincts and nerves never calm down during a potential fight if threat. They have this constant feeling of needing to be in control, to the point where they can even obsess over it.

Panic attacks are actually not as common as you think. Since they’re pretty good at handling their emotions if their own, in contrast to what people think of them as, they can actually be one of the calmest of the whole entire camp. To the point where it’s kind of creepy of freakishly calm they are during crazy things.

They zone out a lot and daydream because of the constant need ti escape since many of them are reckless during quests, their way of soothing themselves after a long day of a day off is to just stare off into space. Some friends from other cabins have ti drag them outside, so they don’t stay cooped up in their beds too long.

They love to play games like UNO, War (personal favourite) Pig and so on, but they absolutely suck at poker since you need a proper strategy to actually have a chance at that game. But they can make it pretty far if they are determined enough. However manny of them find it boring since it isn’t intense enough.

Thats all for tonight folks. I’ll make more head-canons tomorrow.

[incorrect-au-master]

To Ares: have you ever fought the norse god Thor either in a conflict or sparring. from what I get you have a great deal of respect for his warrior spirit.

P.S Who's the older one of you two since some pantheons like the Voodoo gods wouldn't be formed into many years later

Ares: only once, and it was AWESOME!

Ares: there was something about him that motivated me into trying to kill him. Ah yes, the thunder thing...

Ares: and i think he saw something similar in me... i think he mentioned my spear...

Ares: man, we fought for hours and hours... someone almost dies!

Ares: aaand, after we got up from the floor we started laughting and had a few drinks. We're like bros now.

[kores-pomegranate]

MAYBE THEY’LL KILL HIM AND THAT’LL BE HOW IT ENDS
