THE CHANGING FAMILY SYSTEM
THE CHANGING FAMILY SYSTEM
THE CHANGING FAMILY SYSTEM Genesis 1:27-28So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.Ephesians…

maybe i didn't say it loud enough before. but sally grew up relying on and taking care of people who were always going to leave her. and eventually became the only survivor of her family. then she had percy and did everything in her power to be a permanent figure in his life. only to essentially die and doom her son to the same fate of being the only survivor of his family. just wanted to repeat that for those who are in the back.
#and i know she didn't technically die#and i know that percy wasn't the only survivor of his family bc he has his godly side#but sally didn't know she would survive the minotaur#and percy hadn't embraced his godly side and accepted them as family#so as far as the first few chapters and the first few episodes go#this is essentially what happened#okay rant over#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#percy jackson#sally jackson#sally jackson is a queen among woman for a reason#sally jackson appreciation post#anyway i love these two to my core#i love these these two so much#i want to hug sally 🥲

PJO/HOO Hot Take -
So I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion about who’s the best godly parent, specifically father, in PJO. Most people either say Hades, Poseidon, or Apollo and imo those are all incorrect, here’s why -
1. HADES - straight up, while he payed child support (shocking), he also…
- told his only living child (Nico) that he wished he’d died instead of his sister
- has manipulated him many times, stole his and Bianca’s memories (ethics on this can be debated)
- basically did exactly what Hermes did to Luke and May but with Hazel and Marie
2. POSEIDON - didn’t even pay child support smh
- only began a relationship with Percy after he was singled out by Zeus ( + didn’t defend him in the slightest)
- only continued said relationship because of necessity
- left Sally and Percy without any defences making them turn to a literal abuser for help
- generally just a deadbeat dad, also what about his other kids? Last PJO book he admits he has like 13 demigod kids and we just..never see them? (Uncle Rick probs forgot but I’m still blaming Poseidon for continuity or smth)
3. APOLLO - while he does care about his children he also…
- wasn’t there for the funerals of any of his kids
- had never even spoken to most of his kids despite having visited camp on multiple occasions
- straight up only started fathering after being turned mortal and he wasn’t even good at it (of course people grow, I’m not hating on Apollo/Lester as a character just as a father)
Rather, the best dad in the series has been there since day 1 - Dionysus. Here’s why imo -
- Has been present in both his sons lives since birth, as well as having essentially joint-custody of them
- literally just the whole thing about Castors funeral after the titan war
- genuinely cared about them and claimed all his children without being asked (those were the only 2 he had)
- as well as making sure they were safe and cared for (aside from the war but shit happens)
- understands the issues that come with being a demigod/parenting a demigod because he was one himself
- there’s more but I have a hand cramp rn so yea
#Dionysus is best parent#*godly parent#absolutely love his character because he reminds me of family but I swear I’m not biased#ya’ll forget about the fact he was/is a father and actually takes care of his kids#probably best cabin to be in if it isn’t wartime#also his kids have madness powers and that’s fucking cool#pjo hoo toa#annabeth chase#percy jackson#pjo#pjo fandom#percy jackon and the olympians#RIP castor#or Pollux I can’t remember#jason grace#aromantic#dionysus#dionysus pjo

Ok here's a little (not really) analysis/theory post about Hades 2, because I'm obsessed. Its consumed all my thoughts. And I need to talk about a theme I think will (hopefully) be addressed as the game progresses.
Here's some examples of dialogue that starts to touch on this conflict between mortals and the gods. What exactly do mortals deserve? We also have literal Icarus "flew too close to the sun" here too (and probably Pandora). Chronos was able to sway many to his side with a promise of a golden age without the gods, which is presented by the narrative as a foolish venture. And not saying it isn't, or that Chronos is the secret good guy here, but I believe Chronos is taking advantage of a very real hurt that exists for mortals.
This line from Nemesis really stood out to me, because it implies that while mortals have a concept of evil, the gods don't. Which sounds ridiculous but the more you think about it makes total sense. The gods in Hades (and just greek myth in general), are kind of the worst. They are petty and selfish, they literally attack you if their boon isn't picked first, and most vitally in this context, often utterly disregard mortals.
For example, one of the things that drove me a little crazy in Hades 1, was how chill everyone was with Demeter's never ending winter. Demeter was killing possibly millions upon millions of mortals and everyone else just sort of let it happen. Maybe complained a bit because it was annoying to them, but just stood by. And that's just one example. Mortal's have a very valid reason to hate the gods.
And considering we have more areas of the surface to explore that aren't out yet, I have a feeling Melinoë is going to be meeting some of these discontent mortals. And my hope is they are going to be nuanced characters, that will challenge Melinoë not just in a fight, but her very ideals.
Because Melinoë is very deferential to the gods, waaaaaay more that Zag ever was. Unlike Zag, who was more like a bro to them and was willing to suck up to them for personal gain, Melinoë seems to genuinely mean all the respect she gives them. She praises them, defends them when they are insulted, and just generally very polite to them.
In a smaller scale, she describes Hypnos as having a wisdom about him and can somehow sense her intensions while asleep. Which as Nem implies, the version in Melinoë's head doesn't exactly line up with reality (though sidebar, I am a believer in Chekov's Hypnos and that he's going to somehow save the day and put Chronos in a never ending sleep or something, but that's beside the point haha).
Melinoë's reverence to the gods makes total sense of course. She was denied her family and a happy childhood, and because of that has glorified them all in her head. The Olympians are sending her vital aid on her holy mission for vengeance and to save her family, even as their own home is being attacked, how honorable of them!
And I think part of Melinoë's arc is that perfect picture of them breaking into pieces. Yes, they are the better of the two options between them and Chronos, but that doesn't mean they aren't also kind of the worst. That mortals deserve better than frivolous gods that can decide on a whim their fates for better or worse (love u Moros but I'm still fucked up over you and your sisters giving mortals horrible doom endings when you were bored. At least he feels bad now but still. Perfect example of gods even when not intending to having horrific consequences for mortals). And maybe like how Zag healed relations with his family, Melinoë can start repairing relations between the Gods and Mortals.
#hades 2#hades game#hades ii#hades supergiant#hades#I also realized after finishing this that another example of the gods being shit is with Heracles#and considering how little dialouge of his is out yet#im super curious of what that'll bring about#but yeah as I said in the middle of this#I really want at least of the mortals in Chronos's army to be a proper character that interacts with Melinoë#oooooh maybe they can foil Melinoë and their family was killed due to some godly interference#theres just so much potential#hades 2 spoilers#edit: ahhhh i forgot my girl Arachne im sorry best girl#but yes further proving my point

One of the best parts of rereading the Homeric hymn to Apollo is that I get to read these moments again:
"But Leto alone stays by the side of Zeus who delights in thunder...and the Father gives him nectar in a golden cup welcoming his dear son, while the other gods make him sit down there, and queenly Leto rejoices because she bare a mighty son and an archer."
– Homeric hymn to Delian Apollo (trans. Evelyn-White)
"And they, even gold-tressed Leto and wise Zeus, rejoice in their great hearts as they watch their dear son playing among the undying gods."
– Homeric hymn to Pythian Apollo (trans. Evelyn-White)
It seems so domestic and mundane. Zeus has plenty of moments where he dotes on his children, but it's really rare to see him do that alongside his lover. He is relishing these moments with Leto, who stands beside him. This is more of a family moment than just a father - son moment.
#Leto#Zeus#Apollo#"Leto alone stays by the side of Zeus” “Queenly Leto” <3#on the flipside#Hera's absence in this hymn is so loud to me#can you imagine being her though?#not just because her husband is standing beside his lover in a gathering#but also her own children and dancing and enjoying themselves in Apollo's concert#ugh :')#but I'm a firm believer that Leto deserves queen like treatment after everything she had been through#there's so much family dynamics to dissect in homhym to Apollo#from Leto replacing Hera as Zeus' companion to#Hera creating Typhon to get back at Zeus for having his own family without her involvement...#from Leto's son being at the center of attention in the godly celebrations to#Hera's children being just normal participants indulging in Apollo's entertainment#it's so interesting#mine#father dearest

Realizing that the reason why Percy Jackson and Supergiant's Hades rank above a lot of other Greek myth adaptations for me is because they acknowledge that Greek mythology is a story about intergenerational trauma and abuse
#it's a cycle of parents mistreating kids who are then forced to grow up too fast and have no idea how to be adults so they make bad choices#the demigod kids barely make it past twelve and their godly parents rarely ever care#throughout every run of hades zagreus learns more and more about how fucked up his family is and he makes an effort to fix it#and don't even get me started on how melinoe didn't really even get a real childhood#percy jackson and the olympians#supergiant games#hades game#hades 2#greek mythology

Okay y'all I'm fixated on batman and Percy Jackson so this is batman characters and who I think there e goddly parent would be based on vibes mostly
Damian: he's a child of Hades honestly it fits the vibe his grandfather is over six hundred years old and damn near immortal and someone in the family tree dated a ghost or something along the lines I don't remember the context but he's a child of Hades
Harley: a child of Dionysus she's just super chaotic and I feel like it fits the vibe also could explain where her interest in psychology comes from because he's the god of madness and revelry
Ivy: a child of Demeter
Swamp thing: a child of Gaia (look I know Gaia is a titan again I'm going off of vibes)
Bruce: a child of themis (she's the goddess of justice and is associated with oracles and prophecy yes including the oracles of Delphi)
Zatanna: a child of hekate
Dick: a child of Apollo
Raven (I know not technically a batman character but I'm including her): also a child of hekate (yes I'm ignoring trigon)
Cyborg: a child of Hephaestus
Alfred: a child of Hestia (if she had kids I don't remember if she's one of the maiden goddesses) he's the only one that can keep the batfam together and running smoothly because God knows Bruce is really bad at communicating and arranging proper dinners
Beast boy: is a child of pan
Constantine: also a child of Dionysus arguments could also be made for Aphrodite
Jason todd: A child of Ares
Thats all I have for now if I think of more I'll update or give me suggestions of characters and if I have an idea then I'll add it to the list
Also please correct me if u spelled the gods names incorrectly

The gods basically failed at the ye old Spiderman adage. Great power, great responsibility.
Because truly at the end of it all, they can’t be both humanized and gods. They have too much power. Yes, you can sympathize with them but they aren’t allowed the same allowances as just a regular person. If a superhero chose to save their family over the world, they failed. Because they have a duty, they have power higher than themselves, higher than personal bonds.
And that’s what the gods fail at. The Raven Queen putting on the emotionless mask and saying they were children in their mortal forms is indicative of this. She knows what it means to chose godhood and she is failing at being this objective persona of death and fate. They are all failing at this. Erathis realized this. When what they call a squabble means war and destruction for everyone else, you cannot play the “we’re just a family” card. The power they hold is beyond that and they have a responsibility to use it wisely, to uphold the duty they promised they would.
And the Divine Gate is them choosing. Choosing to be gods or to be humanized. Pelor lamenting the idea of not being able to walk amongst mortals, Melora refusing to leave because she found this world. But ultimately, yes. They cannot walk amongst their creations because they are separate, they are not the same. There is a sheer difference in power that cannot be reconciled unless they give it up. And they can’t. They all choose godhood. They choose to be on a different level than mortals.
They chose power and have to deal with the responsibility.
#cr spoilers#cr meta#cr downfall#and it’s ironic that the one who gets this is Asmodeus#yes he’s being a little fucking shitbag when he calls Ayden just a skin puppet#but he isn’t all wrong…Brennan made it very clear that their mortal forms could not exist at the same time as their godly ones#Asmodeus understands that they are not on the same level as the mortals…he takes that to mean dominion but he isn’t wrong about the level of#power difference between them…he’s wrong about how to go about it but he knows they have to stop pretend like they can have it both ways#it’s probably why the Betrayers were willing to use the weapon on them#he knows they can’t be a family and be these gods of good and evil…it’s one or the other and they chose to commit to evil#if the Primes are going to push this narrative of good and evil onto the world then Asmodeus is going to play by those rules#Asmodeus is calling them out just as much as the celestials did…is it we’re a family or we are the Primes and they are the Betrayers?

Today before they went on the boat trip to Geiranger, Durek apparently went to dialysis. And it's like: proper medical treatment for me but not for thee. Also Durek claimed in a now deleted Instagram post that he is not human, but a mix of space lizard and Andromeda (a Greek mythological Princess)!! Lots of international media writing about the wedding picked that one up, because of all the crazy things he's said it's maybe the most crazy. Space lizard!!
Yeah back when Charles was diagnosed with cancer there was a lot of that "I thought he was in to alternative medicine but now he's getting actual medical treatment." But he never advocated for "alternative medicine" (misleading terminology in my opinion; it's either medicine or it's just treatment with inadequate evidentiary support) to replace medicine, just to complement it. Durek not only has told people not to get medical treatment and to use his weird nonsense instead, he made money from doing so. Surely as a healer he would have healed himself? Or knows a healer who could do it? It’s almost like it’s total bollocks and he knows that which is why he willingly accepts medical treatment for himself…
Also how can he be a space lizard and Andromeda if he's also the reincarnation of an Egyptian pharaoh?
#ask#anon#norwegian royal family#durek verrett#also didn’t they talk about marrying in front of god being important?#I’m pretty sure god wasn’t a big fan of reincarnation? or people claiming they are godly?

i just thinks it's neat that luke's whole shtick is targeting demigods whose faith in the gods and their environment are weakening. and one of the last people he visits before he turns is annabeth.
#can you imagine the anguish this girl must have been in#living amongst her mortal family and never feeling like she was a part of it#falling in love with a boy who she believes is destined to die on his sixteenth birthday#but he's spending the year avoiding her and everything godly#and the only two people who have atood by her are either immortal or about to be overtaken by an evil titan lord#and then luke shows up at her doorstep with a faded promise to be everything she's ever wanteda#and she has to swallow her pride and say no#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#pjo headcanon#annabeth chase#frederick chase#thalia grace#luke castellan#percy jackson#annabeth chase headcanon#annabeth chase angst

ok so i was already thinking about this before the post i just reblogged but like. considering Athena’s undetermined condition after God Games and everything 🫠
you ever wonder about what that means for Hermes’ role for the rest of the musical? because Athena did have more to play in the legend, so given her current state (or lack thereof rn) in Epic, that could place Hermes into a much larger role being Ody’s godly aid
Hermes already has an ancestral connection to Ody (being his great grandfather) but will there also be an obligation to honor Athena’s wish to bring Ody back to his family? sure he aided Odysseus before but there wasn’t a 100% guarantee that Ody would survive. Hermes just leveled the playing field enough to give Ody a chance
so what is his reason for continuing to help this time? he grew attached? Ody is his prime entertainment? or…….maybe he was moved by Athena’s display during God Games?
idk it’s a thought that’s been spinning around since the saga came out
#btw when i say reason i mean what motivates Hermes in the musical#what reason will Jorge give him for the direction of his retelling?#i mean#it’s not like family means much to his understanding of it given his godly relatives#or maybe it is#epic the wisdom saga#epic the musical
