nemesis cabin headcanons

children of nemesis

• they’re the ONLY cabin that is safe from pranks by the hermes cabin.

• they never have problems with balancing chemistry equations.

• whenever someone from camp needs to settle a debate/argument, they always ask someone from the nemesis cabin to be the mediator/judge.

• they're also frequently asked to be referees for games of capture the flag, as their reputation for fair judgment makes them ideal for ensuring the game is played with integrity and without bias.

• when a child of vengeance is saved of a certain death by another demigod, they now owe a debt to their savior.

• whenever the savior calls for help, they are obligated to come and help them no matter the danger.

• they are all CRAZY competitive. it’s like they're in pre-revenge mode.

• the demigod that nemesis traded the ability to make a difference in the world for one of their eyes was nick fury (and ethan).

• at this point, she just has a passion for children with eyepatches.

• i can just picture nemesis cackling and pointing to her children "you get an eyepatch" "you get an eyepatch!" "but mom-" "EYEPATCH FOR YOUUUUUUUUU!!"

• they care the least about the appearance of other people, because they see their mother as the person they hate most.

• the hephaestus cabin helped them build a gigantic celestial bronze scale in the middle of their cabin.

• they don't get along well with the children of athena, largely because many of them struggle with hubris as their fatal flaw.

• since nemesis is the goddess who punishes those who are overly prideful or self-assured, this same principle extends to her children, creating natural tension between the two groups.

cabin exterior

• the cabin has dark stone walls, almost like slate or obsidian, giving it a brooding, intimidating appearance. the stones have subtle cracks running through them, symbolizing the balance of vengeance and justice.

• deep red and crimson accents are used around the cabin to signify blood, vengeance, and the balance of power. the entrance to their cabin is a red door. it has the scales of justice etched into it, representing nemesis’ role.

• above the doorway, there is a carving of an eagle, nemesis' sacred animal, holding a sword in its talons. the sword represents retribution, and the eagle embodies her watchful, unforgiving nature.

• a small statue of nemesis herself stands in front of the cabin, holding her sword and scales, symbolizing the ever-present concept of justice. her eyes are made from rubies, watching those who come and go.

• the shadows cast by the cabin seem to move subtly, giving the impression that the cabin itself is watching or judging those nearby. these shadows stretch and shift depending on the actions of the people passing by.

cabin interior

• the central theme of the cabin is balance. there are symbolic representations of scales EVERYWHERE— on the walls, carved into the furniture, painted in murals. every item in the cabin is placed with perfect symmetry, reinforcing the idea of equilibrium and fairness.

• instead of modern lights, the cabin is illuminated by dark iron lanterns or torches with low, flickering flames, casting dramatic shadows around the room. this lighting adds to the cabin’s mysterious and foreboding atmosphere.

• the furniture is made of dark wood— oak and mahogany— each piece sturdy and simple, but elegantly crafted. the chairs and beds have an almost throne-like quality, with high backs and intricate carvings, to emphasize power and authority.

• large mirrors are placed strategically around the cabin, but these mirrors do not show your true reflection. instead, they show you as balanced with your opposite. for example, someone who is overly confident might see themselves looking unsure or humble. these mirrors serve as a reminder that nemesis governs balance in all things.

• the floor is made of glossy black marble, cold and smooth underfoot. some areas are etched with swirling, abstract patterns that represent fate and karma, with a glowing red hue filling in the designs at night.

cabin traditions

• they have a tradition of making penance offerings or performing acts of restitution for any personal wrongs they’ve committed, reflecting their dedication to correcting imbalances.

• every month, the members hold a ceremony where they balance scales to symbolize their commitment to justice and fairness. this involves a ritual where they offer symbolic items representing their past grievances and mistakes.

• they frequently engage in debates about justice and morality, using these discussions to hone their skills in resolving conflicts and understanding different perspectives on retribution.

• each member keeps a small stone where they inscribe significant personal experiences related to justice and retribution, creating a collective memory of the cabin’s journey and values.

my headcanons for children of nemesis because they're so underrated

they will plan elaborate revenge schemes

people think that they're dark and gloomy but they're really loyal and friendly

they get really pissed when things aren't fair

they are the peacemaker of the camp (them and chiron)

they're really trustable

they don't care about your appearance because they see their mom as the people they hate the most

all her children have a strong sense of honour

they can change someone's minor destiny as long as they get enough payment in return

they can change other people's luck

they are pretty close with children of tyche

they're cunning and sometimes slightly violent

Started as a random crossover between Proseka and Greek mythology/PJO. Then it went out of control. And then halfway I got lazy.

My personal favourite is Shiho's design. And Nene's, but does it really count as my design if half of it is literally from the game?

I've recently seen again a post talking about the Sableye and Dusknoir's relationship so i'd like to put my two cents in the discussion, for I love screaming into the void about PMD. (this isnt meant to discourage any other interpretations btw this is just my take on theirs and Dusknoir's relationship, bc I think they're very fun characters and I am very glad the game actually gives these minions a bit of relevance in se5).

Tbh I don't buy that Dusknoir treats the Sableye nicely, at least not out of kindness. I don't think he's a tyrant or inexplicably mean, of course, and I think his minions ADORE him, but i also believe that doesn't mean he's nice to them, sth that i consider meaningful for their character arcs.

Throughout the entire game he's exclusively giving them orders, in se5 he concocts a plan that involves thrashing them MULTIPLE times (he's lucky Grovyle isn't one to try and kill enemies in battle ig), and the cherry on top is that the first time we see him being fully genuine he does this:

(yes, he is in turmoil in here, but there's not a single thing implying that 1. this is an unusual response towards the sablye, 2. dusknoir feels bad for it at some point or is surprised at himself, 3. this has any impact in the sableye at all. You can argue these reactions happen off screen and we don't see them, they don't happen bc they have pressing matters to attend to or they happen after they return to life, and that's perfectly valid, but i'm sticking with what the game shows us, here.)

I must say, though, the fact that the Sableye, despite having been almost mindless pokémon up to now, STAND UP TO AND ATTACK Primal Dialga for their boss and even try to look after him despite him ordering them to check on Grovyle and Celebi first is SO important to me. they are goons to the bone and they love that scheming ghost so much.

My own view is that Dusknoir is generally polite to them (you wouldn't randomly break your own revolver or weapon without any reason, would you?), but is quicker to get mean with them than with people he doesn't know or he is seeking to manipulate. He doesn't care about their behaviour as long as they get the job done, which is why I think the anime thing of the Sableye climbing onto his shoulder isn't that remarkable, rather it's a very cute moment, one that is showing how they've been working together for long and how their size difference affects their interactions, but it is not necessarily conveying an affectionate bond (this is a bit random, but it reminds me of Disney's Jafar with Iago lmao. throw your pet sableye at your enemies so they mock them and then return to your shoulder). Additionally, Dusknoir letting the Sableye onto his shoulder is probably as close as we are gonna get to a villain turning around in his chair while petting a cat in PMD lol.

[this isn't meant to be a one-to-one comparison, it's just a detail i find cute and shows that this gesture can have multiple interpretations, with none being the only right one]

Leaving that aside, I hesitate to claim Dusknoir trusts his Sableye as allies, as Grovyle makes a point in the main story of how the Sableye (your Sableye, he says, as if objectifying them; not friends, but tools, weapons at Dusknoir's disposal) are lacking compared to the way hero/partner/grovyle support one another (power of friendship and hidden information babyyyy). The Sableye are used to Dusknoir's way of doing things, though, I'm sure. They know what happens when he's displeased, after all.

I think, most of all, the Sableye are meant to look disposable: they are 6 identical pokémon that almost act like a hivemind, and we are not supposed to think at all about how we may hurt them in battle any more than we do with the angry Manectric pack or random dungeon pokémon. This, I believe, is why the game has them stand up against Dialga and gives them unique dialogue at the end of se5. They're meant to show their inner shine, just as Dusknoir managed to do. They suddenly gain an individuality they had never shown while they were working to maintain the dark future.

Where they abandoned Dusknoir in the Old Ruins, now Grovyle has motivated them to look for their dignity and fight for a better world, and that starts with protecting their leader from Primal Dialga's rampage, and supporting his new objective and allies in their quest to save the future. In their own small way, they've also grown as characters throughout SE5.

I believe that, overall, Dusknoir saw the Sableye as tools, but thanks to their growth and clear care for him, there's a possibility he might start to see them (and by extension other pokémon) in a more genuine, less pragmatic / objectifying way in the future. Now that Dusknoir has the chance to live a fulfilling life, he may learn to care for others without surrounding himself by so many walls. If anything, I think their future is quite bright. Not that the Sableye would mind if he still thrashed them around, though lol, they're clearly not bothered much by it (special episode 0 had a great depiction of the sableye imo, you can check that romhack if you haven't yet).

In conclusion, look at these little guys who adore their can-get-mean-but-is-mostly-polite boss and probably have a body count but now are good, they're so cute:

do yall think eggman has those moments where he's all proud of himself for coming up with some great plan to finally overpower sonic or outsmart tails but then he thinks on it a little longer and the fact that they're literal children hits him really hard

How long have y’all been d gray-manning too close to the sun?

I started d gray man when I was younger than Allen and now I’m closer to the age of Tyki mikk 😭

Ok, so I haven’t actually played Hades 2 yet but I do have a question if anyone is willing to provide. Nyx’s children and their hair colors… are they on purpose or merely a coincidence?

Like from what I’ve observed her sons’ all seem to have white or silver like hair, light in color essentially. Meanwhile her daughters’ all seem to be on the opposite side of the spectrum with black or dark grayish hair. Now, we’ve seen more of her sons’ than daughters’ so it hard to truly tell, but is this a pattern that would be continued if more of her children ever showed up or is it merely a coincidence this far? Eris’ hair look almost greenish to me but I assume that could be the lightning. Still, it’s on the darker end. Charon’s is hard to see but I assume it’s light in color-

What would y’all say? Is it ever mentioned in game? I doubt it but I haven’t played it yet so I wouldn’t know. Does it matter? Idk, that’s why I’m asking 🥺

Gods freaking out over Nico di Angelo [pt.14]

Note: I actually have an hc where Nemisis was Nico's teacher when he was new to the whole mythological world,this is why he has a great sense of justice when it came to the dead and isn't afraid to end someone for it. Even after HoO she sometimes still teach him a couple of things.

Nemesis: And this,your highness,is why we value white and black justice in the Underworld. Balance must not be tempted with,it's something you shouldn't do,and those who do must be punished. Do you have questions about the lessons?

Nico: So...when I let Octavian die it was a good thing,right? Since he almost killed us all by siding with Gaia. I just restored the Balance before he messed it up.

Nemesis: I...yes-? That would be it,yes.

Nico: And it was also good when I killed Bryce and turned him into a ghost,right?

Nemisis:....probably?

Nico:...Does that mean if someone do something horrible I can kill them to "forgive" their wrong doings?

Nemisis,realizing her lessons are starting to get too much into Nico and she is creating a serial killer:

side rant on the kindred of rot but they're genuinely some of the most annoying enemies in elden ring because you have things like normal knight, sorcerer with weird hat, t-rex dog on steroids, and whatever the fuck an astel (I'm so terrified someone send help they scare me so bad it's not funny) is but then there are these fucking shrimp ass motherfuckers with mommy issues who have homing missile technology in ye olde elden ring days and they do a frankly EMBARRASSING amount of damage.

and that's not even counting the emotional and mental damage caused by accidentally encountering them in the sellia tunnel (I think) after opening that trapped chest at the beginning of the game in nice nice sunny happy limgrave only to be met with a literal nuclear wasteland 5 seconds later.

all im saying is yk i don't blame malenia for abandoning them the second they were created because these abominations regularly made me go through the 5 stages of grief every time I encountered them.

PT 2. WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE AT A PAJAMAS PARTY WITH THEM (DEMIGODS VERSION). 👬🏻 💤 🛏️ 🍬

The sons of…

HADES💀💎: -I think they would summon a couple of spirits to liven up the conversation, certainly those ghosts would be great friends. -Gossip about the underworld would be very juicy.

IRIS🌈📬: -Sweets and candies (some would have been brought by their mother and others would have been traded with Hebe's cabin). -They would also look for tutorials to have a multiplayer lucid dream with you.

HYPNOS😴💤: -Ironically they could stay up late, but would prefer to go to bed earlier. -However, the pajama party would continue in your dreams when you fell asleep. And you would do a lot of fun things there.

NEMESIS🛞⚖️: -They would chat with you about anything as long as everyone could have fun. -They would also argue with you about how unfair it is to be a demigod and that at the very least they could inherit their mother's wings (that's an usual complaint of the demigods at CHB tbh). -They can give you good advice.

NIKE🥇🌿🏆: -Although they would talk a lot about themselves, they would also be delighted if you also rejoiced in your victories. -They would plan with you how to win the next capture the flag and together you would begin to create a lot of ideas about it.

HEBE👦👧: -They would try to stay up until the sun came up, but they would end up falling asleep while (probably) hugging their favorite stuffed animal. -Perhaps Hebe appears to gossip or to bring food and report on what has happened on Olympus.

TYCHE🍀🎲: -You would spend the whole night having fun, chatting and playing with the game machines they have in their cabin. -Surely they would teach you tricks to win in all kinds of games and obviously they would not be cheats (wink, wink).

HECATE🧙‍♂️🪄: -You would prank other cabins with them and their spells. -They would show you their new magical discoveries and you would try them (spoiler: it goes wrong). -They would also show you the new merchandise they have obtained (no one has yet discovered where they get it from).
