#epic Hera

[shinedoitsulikeabright]

I love that idea actually! I'm adding it to my favourite hc list XD

Also, for someone who knows nothing about Epic, that's a damn good headcanon. Fits with the vibe of the song and their characterisation in the musical, I think.

It'd be extra funny if they all think they overdid it, still not understanding that the others helped.

Here's a shitty meme I made in like 5 seconds to better explain what I meant:

I love the idea of every god that agreed to free Ody helping him out during 600 strike

Because, let's be honest, as cool as the song is, there is no way in hell a mere mortal could ever do that to Poseidon. I mean, he's on the same power level as Zeus ffs.

So, I like the headcanon that he received divine help. Just imagine:

Zeus finds the whole thing hilarious so he provides thunder and lightning to set the mood and complete the aesthetic. Seriously, his brother is getting tortured with his own trident by a puny human who's taunting him with his own philosophy. It doesn't get any more ironic than that.

Apollo and Hades unknowingly have the same idea; Apollo provides a sick beat while Hades releases those 600 souls from the Underworld so they can be the chorus.

Ares is taking over since Athena is busy recovering. After all, she did promise him bloodshed (plus he already hated his uncle prior to this event due to the whole Alcippe incident).

Hera isn't super keen on Poseidon either (since he too is a serial cheater on his wife) so she just watches in amusement. After Ody says "next to my wife" she just sends Zeus a glare.

Aphrodite sparks that flame of love he feels for his family and comrades in Ody's heart, giving him additional strength.

Hermes and Aeolus are watching from the side, eating popcorn and probably filming it so they can show Athena (and so they can later have blackmail to taunt Poseidon with).

I had a dream last night where Jorge uploaded a secret saga before Ithaka, and Hera had her own song chastising Zeus for God Games, and Odysseus and Athena reunited with a We’ll Be Fine reprise.

So do with that what you will

Oh my god(s)

I just realized that if Jay ever makes that Iliad musical, there's probably gonna be a whole musical number devoted to the Judgement of Paris, and frankly, I need that in my life.

Silly Epic The Musical thingy

Tw: Periods mention (ik it's not necessarily a triggering thing to most, but just to be safe)

This is how I imagine interactions with Athena would be when she's on her period, bc it came to my mind randomly

~~~

Zeus would be like an overbraringly doting father, constantly checking on her and everything. It pisses Athena off greatly and causes her to storm off

Ares would check on her a few times and make sure his sis is doing okay, seeing if her cramps are too much

Hapheastus gives her a customised belt he made that acts like a heating pad, other than that he stays out the way

Aphrodite will give her chocolates or any other food Athena may be craving, they may not get along but Aphrodite will still be respectful about it

Hera is similar to Aphrodite in this aspect, juat with a few hugs in there too

Apollo will check in every now and then to see if she is getting enough rest and if she's okay, he's a healer after all. So it makes sense he'd worry about her in this time.

Hermes would make a few lighthearted pins but inevitably piss Athena off, resulting in her scaring him off

Now the Gods we at least know she's interacted with in Epic are done onto the best bit imo

Younger Odysseus would be so confused at first as he had no clue goddesses could even get periods but after the surprise wears off he offers her food to cheer her up

Older Odysseus much like his past/younger self offers her snacks and a chance to just relax

Telemachus offers Athena snacks too but also gives her a few hugs to comfort her if the cramps are bad

Penelope drinks wine with her and lets Athena complain abt her periods as she understands the pain of it

Keep in mind this is just for shits and giggles so I apologise if it unintentionally offends anyone

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE TURNED ME INTO. LOOK WHAT WE'VE BECOME.

Epic!Hera having a Groovy 70/80's aesthetic is something i really love, since i'm used to seen her being despicted as a very regal goddess, so seen her dancing and posing in the animatic of God Games was a pretty funny and original to me.

Crazy thing is that is not even the first time i see Hera with this type of vibe, since Destripando la Historia used the song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA as inspiration for Hera's song, wich was released in 1979 and is very catchy and upbeat song. I guess musicians just read about Hera and somehow get very Grooby vibes from her.

Poseidon, having been penetrated as much as Zeus: How will you sleep at night? >:(

Ody, wife is life: Next to my wife.

Hera and Aphrodite:

[meteor752]

The Greek gods and how willing they are to fuck Odysseus (at least according to me)

Not doing all of them, there’s so many

Zeus: He most def would, but not because Ody is special. Like, it’s Zeus, the man would fuck anything as long as it’s breathing. I do think he’d enjoy the pleasure of messing with his older brother though, so he’s extra into it for that

Poseidon: Oh yes. He’d deny it if asked, but he wants to fuck him so badly

Hades: I think he’d fuck him mainly to see what all the hype is about. And to mess with Poseidon of course

Hera: Nah, she’s surprisingly loyal. Which like bitch why

Hestia: Asexual queen

Demeter: She has no idea who Odysseus is tbh. Don’t think she’d be too into it anyways

Apollo: Yeah! That’s not a good thing for Ody tho, as it never ends well for Apollo’s mortal lovers. Mans might be in danger

Artemis: Asexual lesbian queen

Athena: See with her, I don’t know. Their bond is strictly platonic, but I don’t think they’d be against the idea of fucking each other. I do think she’d make him fight for it

Ares: Now for most of the duration of the musical, no I do not think he’d be interested. But after he repeatedly stabs Poseidon with a trident? Oh boy

Aphrodite: Yeah, he’s just her type! Tough warrior that’s secretly a sub :)

Hermes: Mans been willing to fuck him for a long ass time, like I’m impressed by his level of self restraint actually

Dionysus: Is in the same seat as Demeter in that he has little idea of who this dude actually is. Don’t think he’d turn him down though

Hephaestus: I don’t think so, but I have no concrete reason for that answer. Vibe check

Aeolus: No thanks :)

(Some point after Vengeance Saga)

Athena: Oh, hi, Odysseus.

(Poseidon runs away faster than Hermes can fly)

Hera: Athena, Odysseus isn't here.

Athena (smiling): I know.

[therandomfandomme]

i love Athena trying to convince Hera to let Odysseus go, bc all the other gods had grievances against him she could correct but Hera is just putting on her listening ears and going: Okay, baby, I'm listening, please convince me, what makes this dude so good :)

And of course she tries things she finds important as a goddess of war and strategy, mentioning his mind and his talking skills, but Hera remains unimpressed.

So then she just goes fuck, fuck, what do people who are interested in romance like in others??? Uhhhhh... he's kinda funny? Also doesn't work.

And only then does she go, oh wait, Hera likes one specific thing about relationships, loyalty, luckily for Odysseus, I can tell her that he is. #Win. And i love that for her, she's such a dork xp

In honour of the release of God Games I have decided to draw the 6 challengers in Athena's way <3 <3. I love them so dearly you have no idea. And man I really have not been making enough EPIC content. I ought to get back to those animatics I've been planning and at least finish a small section of them. That'd be nice. asjdgsajd

[nothing-impt]

Hera concept art :D

[doppy-enjo]

600 STRIKE!!!!!

Okay so consider the possibility that Odysseus got buffs from all the gods that approved his release Hades game-Style

[the-mori-arty]

HERA!

I had to overcome major face block with her 😭

Not sure if I am 100% happy still, but at least I can post it! What you think?
