Greek mythology “What If?”

(Feel free to use just send me the link)

In the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, instead of the condition for Orpheus to bring back Eurydice being “don’t look back”, it was that Eurydice won’t love Orpheus anymore. Or even more tragically, will be unable to love him ever again.

Ok so I read Song of Achilles, I cried. Any recommendations for other books that are gonna rip my heart out?

I’m absolutely serious💀 I need to feel. 🙏🏼

Bro today at the strip mall I was with my grandma and saw a snoopy soap dispenser. I was kinda tired and said “hey look, it’s snoop dog” so now she thinks that’s his name and im just waiting for this to catch up to me

You know what I love? More than anything?

just.

Greek tragedy masks.

look at them.

Imagine going to a play about your homeboy Achilles or something and you see these things staring back at you. Imagine being in the front row.

or just, imagine BEING THE GUY (I say guy because the casts used to be all male) WEARING THE MASK

I would break character so fast you don’t understand

We don't talk enough about weilin's absolute angst potential of being in love with your sister's boyfriend.

The Hero drowned in grief

How dare you?

How could you?

I can feel the cold weight of you in my arms and 

I expected myself to weep at your feet 

I wish i could, but truthfully, i’m angry 

I want to be that romantic hero who wails at your passing, 

you gave your life for mine, I think I owe you that much.

Do I? It was your stupid plan that put us in this mess. 

Are those your tears on your cheek? Or are they mine? 

A small part of me hopes those are not mine,

you, who promised you’d never hurt me, you 

who promised we’d live forever. 

Look how long forever lasts.

I’m doomed to live without you, you will be my past.

I need this to be a real thing. Where the fuck are my passive aggressive coma-inducing-sweetness candy hearts, and disconcerting fortune cookies. I wanna crack open one of those gum slicing bad boys, almost eat the slip of paper and read:

“Enjoy your next 24 hours”

happy valentines day

Did Stede and Ed just break up??! This is like good omens all over again 😭

Being the Son of Calliope, headcanons…

PJO x Male Reader (No romantic pairing)

Warnings: None…

Summary: You’re the son of the goddesss of epic poetry and eloquence and One of the Nine Muses…

(A/n: I know I was meant to work on other stuff but I got distracted.)

(Song is unrelated to the story but it felt Muses coded so…)

——

You were the only half-blood at camp related to one of the Muses, specifically Calliope, the Goddesss of Epic Poetry and Eloquence.

When you had gotten to camp you used to stay in Cabin 11, even though you’d been claimed, there was no cabin for you. So you ended up bunking with Travis Stoll.

But after the war with the titans and Percy’s demands to Zeus to the gods, a cabin dedicated to the Nine Muses had been built.

You being made the counsler… not that there were any other options…

The cabin was great tho, it was decorated with statues and carvings of the muses and their symbols. There were paintings hung of their famous demigods too such as Orpheus, Hyacinthus and Linus

The cabin had a big book case with novels, plays, comedies, tradgedies, poetry. A soundproof dance studio, a soundproof music room with a bunch of instruments, a sky window to study the stars.

Basically everything associated with the Muses.

——

If you had a nickel for everytime someone had tried to pick you by saying ”you were their muse” or that ”you had inspired” the poem, song or novel they wrote… you’d be richer than Hades.

You were particullarly popular amongst the Apollo cabin who seemed to think you were some kind of key to overcome creative blocks. Will Solace, their counselor, needed to keep them in check since they all seemed interested in you in one way or the other.

Athena’s and Hephaestus’s cabins were also drawn to you for your creativety.

——

You would however end up being paired with the Apollo cabin to lead the campfire sing-alongs, you usually end up with a solo song telling the dramatic story of some greek hero.

Imagine something like ”The Gosphel Truth” from ”Hercules”, with the Apollo cabin acting as you back up singers.

——

As for your powers, you were far from the strongest of demigods, but you were by no means weak.

You had a natrual talent for the arts, singing, dancing, poetry, instruments, etc…

As the son of the goddess of Eloquence you could cast minor short lasting curses on people that would effect their speaking, that could for example cause them to only speak in rhymes and limericks or make them unable to finish long sentences before drifting off.

Your swordfighting style would be noted by the other campers to be quite different, while they fought normally with their swords, Percy described your style more as a ”VERY deadly and sharp dance”.

Being related to the muses you also had an aura that could induce inspiration and creativity in someone (so maybe the Apollo cabin was on to something with their interest in you).

Though that power worked both ways as you could also curse someone with creative block.

——

Unlike most demigods, you’re mother showed up quite often to advice you whenever you had a problem… and she didn’t come alone.

Let’s say you’re in your cabin and you’re sad after having an argument with a friend.

Well… then all the 9 statues of the Muses in the cabin come to life and start singing a pop-soul number about why friendship is important and you should make up with your friend.

It’s was quite terrifying the first few times it happened but you get used to it after a while.

Being one of the Muse’s son is pretty much like being all of their son.

(A/n 2: Sorry, this is shorter than i usually write and is more so a collection of small headcanons for a Son of Calliope!Reader than a full on fic.)

I'd love to know more about Idia!Yutu once requets are open because im thinking so much about him, specially about how he would succeed in preventing the bad ending, I wanna see him succeed so bad . The themes of being a hero as a shroud would be everything good grief

I wanna see him earn that happy ending and feel so proud of himself for it by the end

This boy is gonna be the hero his dad and uncle always dreamt of being because be deserves that , and that is everything to me

I'm rooting for him as his local cool and shady self-proclaimed aunt

Your writing is wonderful, I can't wait to see everything you've yet to do but will soon!

Lastly, remember to unshrimp and hydrate

o/ hello new friend, Yutu is very grateful for the support ♡

I wrote a hc post for Idia! Yutu over here but it got a bit cut off by the bullet point limit. I love the idea of the symbolism surrounding heroism with the Shrouds reach a culmination in Yutu. Greek stories have a heavy focus on tradgedy, and while there is something tragic about Yutu having to live through that bad future and only find a way to fix it by going back in time to undo it there is also something hopeful about it. There is the very real risk that when he succeeds he will be cease to exist, I'm a bit conflicted on how I want to handle that? But one of the ideas I had was for Yutu to become a sort of time and world traveling mage, similar to how the Traveler in Genshin Impact is implied to have started out, or Sora and the keyblade weilders? It's been forever since I went through kingdom hearts lore... Of course he'd be proud to see the evil defeated and the day won, and since he's a Shroud he's also got to be so painfully smug. He succeeded, when everything in both worlds tried to curse his parents and resign them to the role of villain their son became the hero instead, life will continue and flowers will bloom in the underworld after all.

Thank you for the reminders and lovely words, when requests are open if you have more specific questions you wish for a detailed answer on, feel free to ask them.
