Neon Gods by Katee Robert

★★★☆☆

Things I liked about this book:

The introduction of the world. I read Electric Idol first, so I was already familiar with this modern take on the Greek Gods, but to see how it was established initially was really interesting. The reader could fall into the world and follow the characters and the answers would come organically.

The relationship between the sisters is one of my favorites. How Persephone deals with everyone really speaks of their relationship and how it differs from her relationship with her mother.

Hades is amazing. He's the definition of battered soul. I really loved seeing the lower side through his eyes and how they established themselves. It was really neat.

The smut, as always, was hot.

The puppies are fucking adorable. They can be in all future books.

Things I did not like about this book:

Persephone is a brat; Hades is not a brat tamer. Which means the D/s aspect of their relationship was a miss for me. I kept waiting for him to actually deny her, to prevent her from topping from the bottom, to teach her she can't get her way all the time. He didn't. It wasn't bad, not at all. Like I said, I enjoyed the smut. But from how he views himself and his kinks, I was definitely anticipating a harder hand at moments, and for Persephone to not get her way every single scene.

The ending is soooooo cliche. So fucking cliche. Aren't these supposed to be dark romances? So where's the dark?? [This point is a massive spoiler in my original review and since I cannot add spoiler tags on tumblr, I've rewritten it to remove the spoiler.]

It's...still a modern Hades/Persephone retelling. I do not like modern Hades/Persephone retellings. As much as I enjoyed this book, I can't get away from that. I kept waiting for Hades to show the dark side he believes he has, but he doesn't have it. He just has a poor view of himself.

All in all, good book. I liked it. Honest, every time Eros or Psyche were on screen (or mentioned), I just wanted to read more of them, but that's not this book's fault. All on me for reading out of order. But it's a good setup for the world and I can see me rereading it down the line.

PAC: What Greek Mythology love story would you and your FS be?

○●○●○●○●○●○●

[pile 1 to 3- left to right]

Just came out of a bone-crushing healing and shadow work period for my Kundalini Awakening going on right now T-T In an attempt to raise my spirits, I created my very first FS reading-

pile 1:

General vibe of your love story with your FS-

This is the movie pile. I see a full-blown movie arc in my mind’s eye for your love story with your FS. I see an opening at- you guys meeting, the middle act- your separation and individual trials, and the final act- the happy reunion! OBVIOUSLY, there's nuance to how all of this will unfold for each of y’all reading since it's real life we're talking about, but your story with your FS is the closest thing to a happily-ever-after if I've ever seen one.

It's like when y’all first met, y’all were young, or maybe some of y’all didn't know how to handle a relationship or didn't have the resources in the 3D (think money or a place of your own, something like that) to make this relationship happen? Maybe it was long distance for a looong time? And so, for whatever reason (along said lines) y’all had to let each other go or y’all couldn't be together. It's like y’all were shown a grand possibility to be together, and BOOM it was taken away.

Then you guys enter a separation period right after, and the length of this period will differ for everybody reading, anywhere between months to a couple of years. After having worked HARD on yourselves ON YOUR OWN to overcome your personal issues, traumas, and suffering, you guys come together. The key to really mastering your obstacles is in the day to day. You will have set routines to tackle your obstacles, such as say you’ve got anxiety or a dys-regulated nervous system, so maybe you'll always have a stress relief meditation scheduled in no matter how your day looks. So on and so forth, fill in the details of this period as it best suits your life. But the common denominator, I feel like, is that y’all really fight to be with one another. The love is so deep here, and that's what motivates each of you to overcome your personal hurdles, yk? And THEN, when it happens, and y’all reunite, it's sooo beautiful. It's like you guys will build a brand new life together where you can put the past behind and finally enjoy the fruits of your labor! Also, I see you guys growing and blossoming over time with your FS upon reunion 🥺✨.

So… which Greek myth sums up YOUR love story with your FS the best?

drum roll

It’s the story of Cupid and Psyche!

From what I’ve read about this story, Cupid and Psyche couldn’t immediately be together after they met. Cupid could only meet Psyche at night AND she’s not even allowed to see him! T-T This was part of what Psyche has to overcome- the challenges put forth by Aphrodite just because the goddess was jealous of Psyche. And poor Cupid had self-esteem issues from what I gather lmao. He didn't even feel worthy to show his mortal wife what he REALLY looked like (which, by the way, is GORGEOUS af?! Like who hurt you, Cupid?) They eventually overcome their odds and reunite. Eventually, Jupiter blesses Psyche with immortality, which allows them to live forever in their new life happily ever after. Ahhh… beautiful.

I encourage you to read the original story (or watch it on YT, do whatever you like :p) to pick up on any additional messages! Buuut that’s all I have for you lovely folks today.

Love and loads of light, sweet pea :)

------------

pile 2:

General vibe of your love story with your FS-

Reeeeally strongly coming in right off the bat, I feel like both you AND your FS will be turning a brand new leaf in your lives. Think a new job for one or both of you. A major relocation for one or both of you. A major relationship ending for one or both of you. You catch the drift, right?

It feels like y’all will be closing out a cycle and entering into a new era, so to speak. And in this new era, I sense that you'll keep mostly to yourself and aren't all that interested in anybody because you're still processing this BIG shift you just went through and you're reflecting a lot, drawing on your wisdom, staying in your lane. Ngl, you do feel vulnerable and raw too, which is probably why you seem to keep to yourself mostly during the time you might run into your FS. I sense the same from their end too.

You know what this is? Mutual healing. Your future spouse finds you at a time when you're in the dead center of healing and vice versa. You will both be the catalysts to each other's healing! How cool is that? And after y’all find stability in your journey together especially after navigating healing for so long… I see y’all being so comfortable and content and peaceful with one another 🥺 this makes my heart full!! Stop it! Ahhhhhh <3 The vibes are immaculate, it's giving 'comrades in the battlefield' kinda energy. Your FS will stick with you no matter what, literally. And that's the kind of loyalty many people only dream about. Love it 🤌🏾. Y’all will love each other's pain away 🥺😩. Ugh my heart can't take it anymore!

So… which Greek myth sums up YOUR love story with your FS the best?

drum roll

It’s the story of Odysseus and Penelope!

Now in the story of Odysseus and Penelope, both of them undergo significant changes and face major disruptions in their lives. Odysseus’s long journey home from the Trojan War and Penelope’s long period of waiting and dealing with suitors at home. BUT even in Odysseus's absence, Penelope remains faithful and focused on her own survival and household. Similarly, Odysseus endures many trials and tribulations. Both characters are found in a state of self-reflection in the face of personal challenges (in my humble opinion of course). Their reunion symbolizes mutual healing… both of our characters here show incredible loyalty and perseverance despite being apart for 20 years!

-Side note: on a completely different note, your story low key kinda reminds me of the story of James and Claire from Outlander >< shoutout to the Outlander fans hehehehe, I'm waiting for the 9th season to come out SO BAD ughhhh lmao-

I encourage you to read the original story (or watch it on YT, do whatever you like :p) to pick up on any additional messages for yourself! Annnnd that’s all I have for you lovely folks today.

Love and loads of light, sweet pea :)

------------

pile 3:

General vibe of your love story with your FS-

Ah.. my Pile number 3s.. you guys are afraid to love.. aren't you? You might be blocked off from your heart and as a result won’t be open to true reciprocal and healthy love for a WHILE. But then I see that the divine will enter your life in some way and shake you up in a big way to show you how you've been standing in your own way and keeping love at a distance.. I'm seeing the tower card in my third eye as I say this even though it hasn't come out for you today.

Ah, this is like a personal journey I see you taking before your FS comes in and swoops you off your pretty lil feet 🙃 tehe! Your energy seems quite mental to me. You love living in your head, thinking, planning, analyzing, and just knowing things. But this came at the grave cost of not being connected to your heart.. and when the divine intervenes and helps you connect to your heart again is when your FS comes in flying ✨.

Side note: Ooh.. suddenly I hear Lavender Haze by our queen Taylor Swift? Take that only if it resonates for you :]

But yea, I see you struggling and feeling out of control when all of this happens because you're used to being in control of things usually but now all of this has you a bit overwhelmed I'm ngl.. but you end up navigating this perfectly well! Yay! I'm glad haha 😅🫂👏🏾

So… which Greek myth sums up YOUR love story with your FS the best?

drum roll

The story of Pygmalion and Galatea!

Yup, just like how Pygmalion accidentally manifested Galatea, you kinda accidentally manifest your future spouse too (low key reeeal funny ngl). Because Pygmalion refused to love anybody, he sculpted out his perfect woman and fell in love with his creation. His deep affections attract the attention of you guessed it Aphrodite herself, and she decides to ahem intervene. She brings Galatea to life, which represents the transformation of Pygmalion's mental fixation (and emotional disconnection) TO emotional CONNECTION. How perfectly beautiful. Ugh. Love your story, Pile 3. Gosh.. who doesn't love their FS simply falling into their laps? Haha

I encourage you to read the original story (or watch it on YT, do whatever you like :p) to pick up on any additional messages! Soooo that’s all I have for you lovely folks today.

Love and loads of light, sweet pea :)

(Ares enters an area, staring at a flower in his hand.)

Athena: Why do you have that?

Ares: Aphrodite put this on my armor. I don't think it fits with the whole fearsome look I'm going for.

Athena (pausing): She might want you to give her one in return.

Ares: Weird. If she wanted a flower, she could've just kept this one. She does silly stuff sometimes. Yesterday, for instance, she said I looked hot. Of course I did. I'd been training the soldiers all day in the blazing sun. Helios won't just take a few days off.

Athena:...

Ares: Before then, she said she was cold, but it was still really warm out. I gave her my cloak and she looked disappointed for some reason.

Athena (starting to look worried)

Ares: Last week, she asked if I wanted to go back to her place, but I told her that Sparta was waaay closer.

Athena: Are you really going to make ME say this?

Ares: Say what?

Athena: I think she likes you.

Ares: I mean, I figured she wouldn't hang around so much if she hated me.

Athena: No, Ares, I mean I think she likes you...(gags) romantically.

Ares:...no, that can't be it. You know my reputation around here. She doesn't feel that way.

Athena: Haven't you noticed her trying to kiss you?

Ares (shocked): I thought she was making funny faces!

Athena: Well, this isn't my area, so I could be wrong. Go ask her.

(Ares runs off and returns.)

Athena: So...

Ares (panicking): She likes me!

Athena (awkwardly): Good for you I guess.

Ares (still panicking): What do I do now?!

Athena (also starting to panic): Why are you asking me?!

Ares: You're the goddess of wisdom!

Athena: Not romance!

Ares: I've never been on a date!

Athena: Me neither!

Ares (trying to calm down): Okay, okay. Here's a question you can answer. Would it be wise if I went to Aphrodite, pretending to ask for a friend--

Athena: Don't do that.

Ares: I could disguise myself as Dionysus instead.

Athena: This is a bad plan.

Ares: Or Hestia. That would really throw her off my scent.

could i request hermes headcanons with a male lover?

of course! sorry if not the best, just the concept of hermes taking one of apollos followers 😩

THAT BOY IS MINE

ship: hermes x male!apollo devotee!reader warnings: non-explicit word count: 861 a/n: my first male reader request hehhehe; i lowkey wanna make a full one-shot..

★·.·´🇪‌🇵‌🇮‌🇨‌: 🇹‌🇭‌🇪‌ 🇲‌🇺‌🇸‌🇮‌🇨‌🇦‌🇱‌ 🇲‌🇦‌🇸‌🇹‌🇪‌🇷‌🇱‌🇮‌🇸‌🇹‌`·.·★

Trickster god Hermes, who first noticed you during one of Apollo's grand performances, as you stood in the crowd, bright laughter escaping your lips.

He didn't think much of it until he saw how you looked at Apollo—admiration clear in your eyes—and suddenly, the idea of getting your attention and challenging your admiration for Apollo was too irresistible for him to pass up.

Trickster god Hermes, who slips beside you during festivals, the kind of presence that catches you off guard.

He'd grin, that troublemaker smile of his, leaning in to whisper something sly about Apollo's radiance. "You think he's the only god worthy of your gaze?" he'd murmur, his eyes glinting with mischief as your cheeks warmed under his gaze.

Trickster god Hermes, who made sure you couldn't ignore him.

At first, it was harmless jokes, a teasing smile from across the temple grounds, or a comment as he materialized at your side, seemingly out of nowhere. But soon, he was there more often, lingering in your shadow. He loved the way you stiffened when he appeared, as if he had found a crack in your composure—and he intended to widen it.

Trickster god Hermes, who brushed his fingers against yours when you were organizing offerings in Apollo's temple, just to see the way you startled, your eyes meeting his in confusion.

He grinned, his voice dropping to a near whisper, "How devoted you are makes me envious, little muse. Would you give the same amount of devotion to me?" His words held a challenge, and for a moment, you wondered if there was more than jest in his eyes.

Trickster god Hermes, who knew how to make life an adventure, began slipping into your routines with ease.

He whisked you away from your duties, convincing you to join him on escapades across hills, through rivers, and into places you were not supposed to go. He showed you joy beyond Apollo’s measured perfection—the kind found in laughter that left you breathless, in the thrill of racing the wind, in moments stolen away just for yourselves. He made the divine feel real, imperfect, and you couldn't help but love that.

Trickster god Hermes, who was unpredictable, daring, and somehow made you feel seen.

He didn't look at you as merely another worshipper. He looked at you as someone he wanted. It unsettled you, the way he lingered too close, the intensity of his gaze following you as if you were the only one that mattered in a room full of people.

Trickster god Hermes, who found you alone in a grove, your shoulders slumped in loneliness as Apollo was too busy for you.

Instead of his usual antics, Hermes simply sat beside you, his shoulder brushing yours. He didn't say anything—he was just there—and for once, his presence wasn’t meant to charm or impress; it was just... real. It was the first time you saw something other than playful mischief in his eyes—it was care, and it unraveled something inside you.

Trickster god Hermes, who watched you with a longing that was hard to ignore.

He'd catch you glancing at Apollo from a distance, and his jaw would tense, that smile dropping for a heartbeat before it returned, sharper. He'd then make his presence known—his fingers skimming your waist, or his lips brushing your ear as he whispered something that made your pulse quicken. You were never just a follower to him, and he needed you to understand that.

Trickster god Hermes, who, for all his confidence, had waited for you to come to him.

He bided his time and made sure you knew he was always there. He listened when you spoke, his gaze never leaving your face, as though everything you said was the most important thing in the world. It wasn't Apollo's grandness, but it was real—and you found yourself seeking out Hermes more and more, your heart pulling toward the trickster who seemed to understand you in ways others didn't.

Trickster god Hermes, who watched with a soft smile the day you gave in.

When you leaned in to kiss him, he wrapped his arms around you as you kissed him, his lips curving against yours, the playful grin giving way to something deeper. Hermes held you close, as if you were the greatest treasure he had ever stolen, and he had no intention of letting go.

Trickster god Hermes, who made no secret of your connection afterward.

He'd drape himself over you in the presence of Apollo, his arm snug around your waist, whispering something teasingly possessive just loud enough for the sun god to hear with a knowing grin, as if to say, "He's mine now." There was no malice in it, only pride—pride that he had managed to steal your heart and that you had given it willingly.

Trickster god Hermes, who stole your heart in the most unexpected way, not by charm alone but through his laughter, his warmth, and his genuine affection.

He saw you not as someone worshipping from the shadows but as someone deserving of the spotlight, deserving of a love that was wild and unrestrained, just like the wind.

[appolinyou]

Fact, Ares is usually sent to Hebe class parent meetings as: 1. Ares is not THAT evil version of Hera and Zeus when it comes to methods of defeating the snake teaching staff 2. He is still resourceful and fierce enough to protect the interests of Hebe and himself (not as touchy as Apollo - he can not only not be offended, but also remember important information, not as manically frightening as Athena Miss Killer Scientist, and the like)

Lachesis in your astrology Chart. Goddess of fate and destiny. What are you fated to have?

In Greek mythology, Lachesis is one of the three Moirai (Fates), responsible for measuring the thread of life allotted to each mortal. Alongside her sisters Clotho (who spins the thread) and Atropos (who cuts it), Lachesis determines the length and quality of an individual’s life. She embodies the concept of destiny and fate, weaving the tapestry of human existence with intricate threads that dictate the course of mortal lives. Lachesis is often depicted as the middle sister among the Moirai, representing the moment of decision and the unfolding of events that shape the lives of gods and mortals alike.

Lachesis and her sisters are central figures in Greek mythology, symbolizing the inevitability and inescapability of fate. Their influence extends beyond mortal realms to encompass the very fabric of the universe, ensuring that every being follows a preordained path. Lachesis’s role underscores the idea that life’s events are not merely random occurrences but part of a larger, cosmic plan governed by divine forces. Through her measurement of the life thread, Lachesis embodies the ancient Greek belief in the intertwining of destiny, choice, and the inexorable march of time.

In astrology, asteroid Lachesis is named after one of the three Fates (Moirai) in Greek mythology, responsible for measuring the length of a person's life thread. Lachesis's placement in the astrological chart can indicate areas of life where we might experience fated events, pivotal moments, or a sense of destiny. Here’s an interpretation of Lachesis in each house of the astrology chart:

1st House (Ascendant)

Influence: Lachesis here suggests that the individual's life path and personal identity are significantly shaped by destiny. There may be a sense of purpose and an awareness of pivotal moments that define who they are.

2nd House

Influence: In the house of possessions and values, Lachesis indicates that material resources and financial stability might be influenced by fated events. This placement can also highlight the importance of aligning personal values with a deeper sense of purpose.

3rd House

Influence: With Lachesis in the 3rd house, communication, siblings, and short trips may play crucial roles in one's destiny. Important messages or encounters during travel can have significant impacts on the individual's life course.

4th House (IC)

Influence: Lachesis in the 4th house suggests that family, home, and roots are areas where fated events occur. There might be significant ancestral or familial patterns that shape the individual's sense of belonging and security.

5th House

Influence: This placement emphasizes creativity, romance, and children as areas influenced by destiny. Creative projects or romantic relationships might carry a sense of fate, significantly impacting the individual’s life journey.

6th House

Influence: In the house of daily work and health, Lachesis indicates that routine tasks and health matters are areas where fated events might occur. Work environment and daily habits could be instrumental in fulfilling one's destiny.

7th House (Descendant)

Influence: Lachesis in the 7th house highlights partnerships and close relationships as fated and significant. Marriage or business partnerships might be marked by a sense of destiny, deeply influencing the individual's life path.

8th House

Influence: In the house of transformation, shared resources, and the occult, Lachesis suggests that intense and transformative experiences are tied to fate. Matters of inheritance, joint finances, and deep psychological changes might be pivotal.

9th House

Influence: Lachesis here indicates that higher education, philosophy, travel, and belief systems are areas influenced by destiny. Long journeys and educational pursuits might be marked by significant, fated events that shape the individual's worldview.

10th House (MC)

Influence: In the house of career and public life, Lachesis suggests that professional life and public reputation are areas where destiny plays a key role. Career achievements and social status might be strongly influenced by fated encounters and decisions.

11th House

Influence: With Lachesis in the 11th house, friendships, social networks, and aspirations are influenced by fate. Important connections and group affiliations might significantly shape the individual's future and align with their destiny.

12th House

Influence: Lachesis in the 12th house indicates that spiritual matters, hidden realms, and subconscious patterns are influenced by fate. There might be a sense of destiny in spiritual pursuits, and understanding hidden aspects of oneself can be crucial.

Summary

Asteroid Lachesis's placement in the astrological houses highlights areas of life where fated events and pivotal moments are likely to occur. This placement can provide insight into where an individual might experience significant turning points, guiding them toward their life’s purpose and destiny.

Icarus making sure to always save the best of anything he has to give as an offering to Apollo. He burns everything in a golden bowl. Icarus begging Daedalus to craft him a lyre so he can learn to play it because it makes him feel closer to Apollo. Icarus trying to raise bees so he always has fresh honey to offer Apollo.

Apollo receiving all these offerings and getting bullied by Artemis because he can’t stop blushing because what is this human boy doing?? Fuck it’s so cute though and he starts lingering above where they’re being held bc he wants to be closer to him for a second.
