Zeus: What are you talking about? I'm a very trusting person! I trust all of you.
Zeus: Except Poseidon.
Poseidon: That's fair.
Zeus: And Hestia a little bit.
Hestia: What??
Zeus: You're too nice, it feels fake. Like you're lulling me into a false sense of security so you can steal my organs later.
Hestia: Wha- I don't want your organs!
Zeus: That's exactly what someone who wants to steal my organs while I sleep would say.
Zeus: Hades. You can hide in shadows and you're always talking to people who aren't there.
Hades: Those people are ghosts. Ghosts who have helped us.
Zeus: Right, but how can I be sure that you're not using them to plot against me?
Hades: Why would I plot against you?
Zeus: I don't fucking know! But you could be. And that's the important thing to focus on.
Hades: That's not-
Zeus: And Dem! Look, you seem great. But. You know... there's just something there that worries me.
Demeter: And that is?
Zeus: Don't know! But it's there.
Zeus: So really I trust all of you, but not that much, save for Hera. Except, obviously, when I don't trust her. But it's mostly I do. Usually. Sometimes.
Zeus: Once.
Hera: Are you fucking kidding me?
Zeus: No, I've definitely trusted you one time. Sort of. A little bit. It was very difficult.
Hera: You have a problem and you need help.
Zeus: That's exactly what someone who wants me to fail would say.
#zeus#poseidon#hestia#hades#demeter#hera#all of them grabbing him by his shoulders and yelling WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE YOU PARANOID LITTLE SHIT#and he's just like look i know that and you know that but also you're plotting against me#they come up with a plan of attack for the day and then he has like forty secret backup plans just in case they betray him#happy talks greek mythos

something something Mytho's entire character being, as @schafpudel so eloquently put it, associated with self destruction; something something the heartless princes inability to connect with the world and care; something something the raven!Mytho's hair trigger temper and capricioussness; something something Drosselemeyer's personality and what his life and interpersonal relationships must've looked like when he was still a mortal human man; something something Mytho's entire being as an expression of trauma, of loneliness, of psychological struggles of his author.
#princess tutu#mytho#drosselemeyer#analysis#like#Drosselmeyer was a difficult man for sure. so like#he MUST'VE had a hard time in his personal life#i know bcs im difficult and was even worse in childhood#and ok maybe i dont have the same level of bullshit going on as mr I-can-warp-reality(<-implied god complex)#but like#i can see it clear as day#my guy was in misery#and you know how ppl are when they percieve someone as bad enough to be deserving of certain things#rightful anger can quickly snowball into vengefulness#and a lot of ppl take a cerain sadistic glee in doleing out justice#i imagine even before he may or may not have become dangerous enough that he needed to be stopped#he incurred enough wrath in people for them to decide to hit back ten times as hard#and i imagine lines were crossed#we can argue all day and night how much if any sympathy certain ppl deserve#at the end of the day cruel treatment has a bad effect on everyone no matter how cruel they are themselves#idk im trying to explain this without woobyfying him#like. that shit dude is also a dude. like me. like us#the pain is real and the same in every person it occurs in#yanno???#fate.txt

sometimes the ghost of kelley puckett (he is still alive) haunts me. does he know. does he even know. he’s so detached from the comics community and he’s such a private guy (I RESPECT THAT WHOLEHEARTEDLY) that i really and truly do not know if this man knows how much cassandra cain means to us. does he know batgirl 2000 is heralded as the bible of dc solo books, as a lot of people’s favorite comic ever written. does he know how much we love cass. how we write essays over her character and how amazing she is and how she changed our lives. does he know how adored his writing is. does he know he wrote the best comics character introduction of all time. does he even. know.
#cassandra cain#dc#look. sometimes i think about kelley puckett. and i go a little crazy#i KNOW how much shit he got from dc execs at the time#because he was doing something new and different#and because dc as well as a lot of fans at the time#didn’t have room for a newly created disabled asian teenaged girl in their personal batman mythos.#i have a pretty good idea of how much disrespect cass got as a character (SEE: HER LITERALLY BEING WRITTEN OUT OF THE STORY WHEN#DUDES GOT SO WHINY ABOUT BABS NOT BEING BATGIRL. WTF.)#so. i have no idea what his general thoughts & feelings were when writing for dc.#i think he’s doing accountancy now? or coding? something like that#the man did like ONE interview and i think it was from 2002#ANYWAY. THE POINT IS.#the way this circle of online dc fans regard cass and batgirl 200 in general#is SO…#WE LOVE CASS OKAY. SHE’S SO MANY PEOPLES FAVORITE CHARACTER.#and batgirl 2000 is thought of as THEE comic book EVER#and as some of the best writing dc had EVER had#kelley puckett is a literal god of a writer to us.#AND I DONT KNOW IF HE?? KNOWS THAT?????#DOES HE KNOW I WOULD PAY HIM A MILLION DOLLARS TO COME WRITE FOR DC AGAIN.#because hes just that good and most comics post new 52 have been garbage#does he know how beloved he is. I don’t know#anyway. I sincerely hope wherever mr puckett is right now#he’s having a wonderful day and he knows how many gay people on tumblr#write extensive meta essays about his writing

It's still so crazy to me that Pac made it canon that Felps saw Cell maul him in prison. I wonder who he hated more in that moment — the perpetrator or the bystander
#i talk#qsmp talk#obviously they're on good terms now but it's still wild#I want all the juicy details I want to know more about what Pac thought about that#anyways maybe Pac didnt even hate either of them! hes a weird dude#tbh I think his brain was in full-blown survival mode so hate and anger weren't really at the forefront of his mind#But I do wonder how he felt when he first saw Felps again#especially with the sainthood thing?#Aren't saints bystanders by nature? Something to watch over people but not directly interviene?#<- I guess it depends on the mythos or specific branch but#Felps' whole thing intrigues me. Jailer Bystander Saint#anyways I think it's interesting that Pac's kissed both Cellbit and Felps#fandom tropes read him well

the evils of princess tutu have infected me and now when listen to classical music I'm like "oh its fakir's muscial motif"
#I don't know how to explain what his musical motif is but it's there#Just go listen to romeo and juliet fantasy overture and if u hear him in there congrats on the brain sickness#Rue also has a pretty recognizable motif it's not as memorable as fakir's#Idk what tutu and mytho's is tho#Tutu cuz she's almost always with someone and they're taking the focal point ans mytho cuz he literally doesn't have a character#Sorry to him#Princess tutu

i just think it’s super interesting how icarus is so widely known as a greek myth, because while don’t get me wrong, it IS, we kind of have like. so little surviving greek texts depicting him. he was alluded to a lot, but the longest text we have with him only mentions his name like, twice, and his appearance lasts for three paragraphs max before his death.
a lot of the prestige and acknowledgement for the mythos comes from roman poets and writers, and i just feel like that’s. never acknowledged. icarus’ fall is kind of THE greek myth nowadays, when really, the fad largely should be attributed to the romans, as it’s their texts that would go onto inspire icarus comparisons and references in literature/media.
#icarus speaks#hi. guy named after icarus has too much icarus knowledge. who would’ve guessed#i just think that’s interesting!!!#like. you think of icarus and you go BOOM. that’s a greek guy#and yeah. kind of!! but the myth you know is likely a roman invention NOT a greek one#and that goes for a lot of other mythos too obvious#ly#medusa for example#but this is the icarus blog so ofc he’s gonna be what i focus on

ASDFGHJKL
Just been talking to this npc and he was like 'oh hey!! Nice of them to send out a guy so soon after I sent my letter!' and when link did his little talking hand gestures my full expectation was the next words to be 'omg the hero?? Zeldas knight?? The champion of hyrule? You guys were missing it was all over the kingdom!!'
Npc: oh, so you're just some guy? Man, I thought they would have sent someone out by now, I've been waiting ages...
A) no you haven't
B) Link, WHAT????
Asdfghjkl??? NO WONDER he's been Tony Hawked he's not even introducing himself with his name??!
Actually... Given what other people have been calling him, I think he's been introducing himself as 'just a wandering swordsman'.
LINK THAT WAS YOUR FAULT THE WHOLE TIME???
#Lmaoooo#That explains so much#Josha especially that's so funny. Like she knew link on sight and does know his name but always calls him swordsman.#Bet that's how he introduced himself when they first met and then zelda appeared XD so now he always gets the nickname#I like that link chose to do that himself and it's not just everyone failing to recognise him. Like he doesn't want the fame and fawning#He's happy as is. Can't tell me he doesn't have a sense of humour tho with the amount of people who talk about the hero to his face.#Met a guy just after who told link he was on a trip to 'something forest' where he was going to get the master sword because he was the her#No idea where he got his information I'm assuming he thinks link kicked it when he went missing and that the title gets handed down??#Link was just 'mhm uhuh' the whole time completely blank faced it was GREAT.#Similarly fi has the funniest mythos in bottok. We've had the master torch and gourd and several people who didn't recognise it and#A handful of people who claim THEY'RE the legendary hero. Hysterical. I hope they're all having fun wherever they are XD.#loz#loz totk#tears of the kingdom#totk#botw#loz link#breath of the wild#loz botw#botw totk#link legend of zelda#botw link#totk link#Can't believe we were all laughing about the Tony hawk fame and the whole time he was doing that on purpose#Makes the yiga even funnier that they all recognise him ON SIGHT. Sorry man you're clean out of luck there XD

Oh I suppose I can share.
So technically it's the Sonic of No Place that's the siren. Although now I'm considering exploring something where Sonic becomes the siren cause why not... His name is Spindrift (which i researched a bunch of water related words for the coolest sounding thing) backstory is that during a giant storm he fell off the Angel's Voyage and in a stroke of 'luck' he comes in contact with a magical gem (i'm still not sure if I want it to be the Paradox Prism itself or just something made up) that turns him into a mermaid. And no, mermaid wasn't a typo- but there's an explanation! >:)
Anyways, after the initial freak out he's like "I gotta find some way to reverse this!!" And although he tries to be careful about who he asks for help since he knows people can be assholes his plan goes awry. You see the plan was for him to hang out kinda close to a random docking place and then when a ship takes off he'd tail it for a little while and eavesdrop in order to figure out if they're good people. Unfortunately he wasn't being as sneaky as he thought and word got around of a mermaid being spotted in the area. As you can probably guess, this doesn't end well for him and he ends up captured by bad people and put onto a black market.
He goes through the wringer and is passed around/sold many times and despite trying to cling onto hope, one day he breaks. I don't have anything specific on what happens but one day he hits his limit and he SCREAMS at the top of his lungs in a mix pain, sadness, and anger. And the scream is abnormally loud. So loud it shatters all and any glass around him and ends up rupturing the eardrums of anyone too close.
If you guessed that means he went from being a mermaid to being a siren- you're correct! I even made some lore about it~
So basically when a mermaid gets consumed by hatred they turn into a siren. It's a very rare occurrence though, so there's not that many sirens in the world. Sirens are shunned by mermaids and despite their reasons for becoming one (like Spindrift was basically tortured) they're banished from anywhere mermaids reside.
There's a few main difference between mermaids and sirens besides the obvious siren powers gained upon transforming. Here's a list:
Can breathe above water for longer periods of time. This is how Spindrift managed to drag himself back into the ocean without suffocating to death. It was a really close call though.
They have claws.
More prone to anger.
Carnivores instead of omnivores.
Maybe a slightly longer lifespan...?
Anyways, Spindrift no longer trusts anyone else. Least of all blindly. In fact he actively hates what he (eventually) refers to as surface dwellers. After finding somewhere pretty secluded (which ends up being the Devil's Lighthouse) he settles down and makes the area his home. But sadly there are pirates greedy and daring enough to try and get to whatever treasures may lie in that area... and Spindrift hates trespassers.
After at least a few boat sinkings, somebody manages to survive and spreads the word about how there's a siren guarding the Devil's Lighthouse. Spindrift earns the nickname Rupture and, upon learning of said nickname, eventually embraces it. He loves the looks of terror upon people's already terrified faces when he reveals/confirms his nickname. It brings him a sick sense of pleasure that derives from the torture he endured at the hands of pirates. It was like payback.
When Dread first tries to get to the Devil's Lighthouse, he doesn't get enough of a good look at Rupture to to think he's Spindrift. Combine that with the fact that Spindrift was kindhearted and should be dead and the thought never even crosses his mind.
Then Sonic Prime happens... and boy is everybody in for a shock. And a bit of whiplash at the sight of Sonic. :p
#sonic#sonic prime#sonic au#Sonic the hedgehog#Tragic Mythos Prime AU#And here are the specific tags for his name at different points in time:#Spindrift the Hedgehog#(before he fell off the boat)#Spindrift the Merhog#(soon after he fell off the boat)#Spindrift the Siren#(after he becomes a siren)#Rupture the Siren#(after he embraces the nickname given to him)#I know 4 different iterations of the name is quite a lot#but this way it's easier to find me talking about the different points in time if need be

Which tragic death would you suffer?
SAMHAIN - the prophetic hero
you die saving the world, as you were always supposed to. peace comes only with your blood. the world will remember you for centuries. they will write poems, create art, and film movies all about you. no one will remember what you were before your death. maybe you don't even know it either. you have spent so long saving the world time after time that there is nothing left of you except the heroism. you die never knowing love.
NIGHTSHADE - the worthless sacrifice
you die to protect something you love. it does not matter in the end. if it's a person, they still die shortly after, if it's a war, you still lose. your death means nothing. the only people who could've appreciated it will be gone quickly as well. you will die thinking you have done something, when really you have done nothing. perhaps that is the saddest thing of all.
AXEL - the betrayal
you die at the hands of the person you love most. maybe there are tears in their eyes as they drive the sword into your chest, maybe there is none. there are certainly tears in yours. your mouth will open to ask 'why' only to spit blood instead. you will die never knowing if they loved you at all, wondering if you could've done something to prevent this, or if it was always going to end this way.
Stolen from: @hearthtales
#tagged#*SCREAMING HELLISHLY*#in the darkest timelines these deaths would totally make sense#Sammy being the hero doomed by the narrative#mythos only know Sam by his title and role as guardian of the Veil 'Samhain' most dont know him or who he is as a person#Nightshade is selfless and would totally sacrifice herself if it meant saving someone but to think her death would be in vain HURTS#always seen as the accessory - the add-on - the extra but not as a meaningful character herself#when Samhain & Nightshade perform their duties its thankless work and if they died on the job they might not even be remembered as heroes#meanwhile Axel really was betrayed by the one he loved in canon its not even funny

Hey squad, I just got emotional over one of my least problematic fav classics hero, Odysseus, and how he went to war for a decade because he loved his family and how he spent the next decade searching for that family and how his family had such faith that he would crawl back to them that they waited the twenty years for him.
#was the last decade his fault??#yeah it was#but at no point do I doubt that this man loved his family with his whole heart#Odysseus and Penelope have one of the best marriages in Greek mythos#I got emotional over on Pinterest so now I decided to cry over here#Like he went to war because he couldn’t fake insanity to kill his son and then did everything he could to stay alive and get back#And Penelope knew he would come back so she redid the same tapestry every day and every night#And even his son who didn’t know him was searching for him and getting news finding Nemo style#And the dog okay the dog literally died after he got to see him one last time#like I know greek myths are problematic#But also the love compels us and binds us over thousands of miles and dozens of years narrative got to me#so yeah#greek mythology#odysseus#penelope#telemachus#the oddyssey#argos the dog#just yelling into the void

To me, children of Zeus are natural strategists in the same way children of Athena are. But the difference is that Zeus and his kids have multiple plans and contingencies if a plan fails at a certain point and needs to shift gears. So like they employ Plan A and get all the way to stage four of the plan when suddenly there's a deviation from expectations for whatever reason. So they shift gears from Plan A1 to Plan A2, which accounted for this deviation and continue on.
Athena and her kids, however, come up with one solid, somewhat broader plan and refuse to deviate from it at all unless there is literally no other choice, in which case they will improvise quickly and efficiently to accomodate the change and get back on track to the original plan.
#happy talks pjo#happy talks greek mythos#jason in the corner coming up with extremely detailed solutions to unexpected possibilities mapping out every stage and everyone's roles#annabeth is just you're gonna go fight this guy and you're gonna fight that guy and we're gonna try to get this thing and that's the plan#she can be detail oriented when the time calls for it (re: architecture) but she knows that life is unpredictable#so keeping plans broader to account for possible deviations while still being successful is more important in a battle#than you know whatever jason's doing#this is fully based off my hc of pre-war paranoid anxiety fulled baby zeus spending too much time at the whiteboard#and now he has over a hundred different plans of attack with multiple contingencies for possible deviations#and yes he wants his freshly vomited siblings to memorize every single one (they do not. he hates it)#jason grace#annabeth chase#zeus#athena#i guess one way to look at it as well is that athena and her kids pride themselves on their intelligence#so whatever plan they come up with is The Plan and that's why they try to shift any deviation back to The Plan#they are stubborn about their intelligence and planning for contingencies feels like they are telling people they are unconfident about it#where zeus and his kids understand that you have to account for unexpected changes that throw the plan off course#trying to get back to the original plan will be difficult and sometimes impossible so its better to move with it#so accounting for possible deviations (eg. betrayals or a change in schedule and so on) is important to achieving the main goal

Ducks favorite ninja turtle is Michaelangelo. Fakir claims he doesn't have one but secretly he is partial to Leo. Mytho's favorite is Raph. Rue genuinely doesnt have a favorite.
#ninja turtles here is meant in a general sense i had no specific iteration in mind#princess tutu#fate.txt#duck#fakir#mytho#rue#everyone would be like fakir whats your favorite ninja turtle and hed be like “Um. I think about other stuff usually.”#and then rue would immediately pick a turtle to stan just to piss him off#and goes oh yea Leo. Luv that turtle. I love his uuuh. Sword was it? Right. of course it fuckin' is.#Author immediately gets kin assigned donnie by everyone else because Ha Nerd and he is soooo miffed.#Lillies fav is raph but she doesn't Get Him#Pique also likes Mikey the most and she Gets Him.#You know when someone is a certified [character] scholar? yeag#also obviously mytho is a certified raph scholar#I could go on like this all night

seeing miguel takes that make u say aloud HE DOES NOT KNOW HE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER IN A STORY WHERE THE PLOT IS CONSTRUCTED TO ILLUSTRATE A CERTAIN POINT/MEANING BRO 😭
#why can’t Miguel recognise the importance of trying and failing to save the police captain#BECAUSE HE DOES NOT KNOW HE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER HE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT CHARACTER ARCS#ALL HE SEES ARE REPEATING PATTERNS ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE#HE DOES NOT KNOW HES IN A STORY GUYS COME ON STAY WITH ME HERE 😭#tunes talks spiderverse#also like on the meta level the ENTIRE thing his character is being used to critique/question is what story elements have been used the irl#writers of spiderman to ‘legitimise’ a spiderman. what do those repeating patterns say about us that women die for Spider-Man’s pain#etc etc what does it say about society irl that miles was seen as such a challenge to the spiderman mythos by virtue of being a black kid#you’re having a character In the STORY look at those repeating patterns and ascribe it as fate BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU NOT YOU DONT KNOW YOU#ARE FICTIONAL#but what highlighting those patterns asks US the audience to question is why is that suffering necessary for a spiderman story why does it#always have to play out the same#why CANT miles save his father#miguel is only interacting with the concept of canon as a way to understand and conceptualise these pattern events and the damage that can#be done to the dimensions/multiverse when certain parameters are met#he does not KNOW about the meta commentary guys PLEASE 🚬
