[gotstabbedbyapen]

Might be a bit obscure but I was wondering if you have any HCs about Harmonia?

Harmonia, goddess of harmony!

I started with a couple of random ideas but ended up with a whole story for her lmao

When Harmonia was born, Ares would hold her in his arms and cry the whole night for how adorable she was.

As the only daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, Harmonia grew up with four bothers (Eros, Anteros, Phobos, Deimos) and a bunch of adoptive brothers (the Erotes). She was rarely seen without at least one brother accompanying her.

Harmonia and Hebe had a complicated relationship. Not in a bad way but in a "I'm your brother's daughter but I was born around the same time as you so uh..." way.

Harmonia was the referee/peace-keeper in the house. She was the one settling disputes among her siblings and make them hug each other out after their fights.

But don't mistake Harmonia's preference for peace for her being weak. Peace isn't always achieved in a peaceful way, and with a father who is a war god and siblings being literal embodiments of fear and terror, Harmonia can and will throw hands if you were to disrespect her. Even her siblings don't get it easy.

And you know the rule: when the most pacifist person got pissed, things will get ugly fast.

Harmonia and Eris don't interact much due to their domains being literal opposites. But they absolutely have the "Are you tired of being nice? Don't you wanna go ape shit?" dynamic.

When Cadmus came to serve Ares as atonement for slaying his serpent, Harmonia took one look at this mortal hero and got a big fat crush. But she only quietly admire Cadmus from afar and never dared to come close.

Why? Well in the godly society, apparently it's fine for gods to sleep with mortal women, but goddesses sleeping with mortal men is considered shameful (e.g. Clio chided Aphrodite for sleeping with Adonis and Merope hid in shame for marrying Sisyphus)

Ares knew about his daughter crushing on his servant but was too shy to approach him, so being the awesome father that he is, he became her wingman (or wing-dad)

Ares ordered Cadmus to run errands at places where Harmonia was often around so they would "accidentally" bump into each other. He'd nudged Cadmus like, "Hey, my little girl thought highly of you so I'll make this servitude easier for you. Also, what do you think about Harmonia?"

Aphrodite was also supportive of her daughter getting it on with Cadmus, giving her tips and tricks to win over the guy. "Goddesses being with mortal man is shameful my ass, you go get your man, dear daughter!"

Harmonia aso ried to flirt and court Cadmus with advices from Eros. Sometimes it works pretty well, other times... well, Eros got his ass beaten by his sister.

When Cadmus was done with his servitude and married Harmonia, you can imagine Ares being a shotgun father and the Erotes being shotgun brothers at the wedding.

As one of the beloved-by-all figure on Olympus, Harmonia received a lot of wedding gifts from the other gods. However, unbeknownst to all, Harmonia was given a cursed robe and necklace from Hephaestus (as revenge for her parents cheating when Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus)

It was believed that these cursed gifts were the reason why almost all children of Cadmus and Harmonia were doomed.

On an unrelated but also related note, because Hephaestus' gifts had caused Harmonia misery, Ares grew even more bitter and distant from his brother.

I'm not gonna go through all the things that happened with the House of Thebes. Let's just say all the horrors that took her children away take a toll on Harmonia. She fell into depression, beginning to doubt her own divinity and dreading over the fact that as a goddess herself, she couldn't protect all of her children from their demises.

But after everything, Harmonia held strong. She had her father's bravery and her mother's fierce love, and those two traits was what carried her through the darkest moments and made her the ever-faithful anchor for her husband.

Harmonia was the one advised Cadmus to leave the royalty life and settle for a more simpler but more peaceful one. She wouldn't mind having to live as a peasant if it meant this new life could bring peace of mind to her husband.

When Cadmus was turned into a snake, Harmonia was offered by her family to a choice to leave Cadmus and return to Olympus. She chose to stay with him, even let herself be turned into a snake to join her beloved. He was all the she had left, and she decided: if they had to go, they will go together.

And when Cadmus finally died, even if she couldn't die herself, Harmonia followed him to Elysium.

But since Harmonia is still a goddess with duties, time and time again she would have to go back to the living world to fulfill them or visit her godly family. Those parting trips weren't as long as Persephone's because Harmonia is still a minor goddess.

Anyways, it was an overall happy ending for them.

out of curiosity,

I was wondering what is your personal hc with n's past? Like before ghetsis found n.

Also, where do you think n's power comes from?

Going off what Anthea and Concordia say, N was orphaned, dumped in the woods because he accidentally freaked people out, and then adopted by his Pokémon caretakers.

So, I'd say my personal headcanon is that he was born in a very rural, VERY superstitious village, but lost his parents at some point. Due to his ability to communicate with Pokémon, he was feared as a fairy child or changeling (the Fair Folk aren't always nice, after all, and can actually be quite nasty), and eventually dumped in the forest by superstitious villagefolk.

I picture N as being quite young when this happened, since he looks to be about five-ish in the BW opening cutscene, so I'd say he likely lived with Darmanitan and the other Pokémon for at least a year until he was found by Ghetsis. (Their resemblance to each other is pure coincidence, because they have no biological relation, and Ghetsis used it to his advantage.)

As for where N's power comes from, I think it's a mixture between very, very, VERY weak psychic powers that let him instinctively understand and speak with Pokémon, and him learning their language when he was young.

Psychics canonically exist in Pokémon, but N's powers are so subtle that no one actually knows he has them, not even N himself! This particular bit of the headcanon mostly comes from the anime, where there's a clip of him asking Alomomola for help without saying a word and said Pokémon being underwater. (Pretty sure N was also on a ship at the time, and those things are BIG.)

N also sometimes describes Pokémon talking as their "inner voice", rather than speaking to him directly. So. There's probably some sort of psychic power involved there!

The second part comes from the anime's Meowth and the times we've seen Pokémon mimic human speech in the games, like that Mimikyu in Gen 7. Since Pokémon can learn human language, and Pokémon like Beheeyem do have their own language, it's only reasonable to assume the inverse is true. Plus, at the age N was, his ability to pick up language would be at its strongest. (Body language is also included here, so N could "read" how a Pokémon’s feeling just by observing them, without necessarily needing to speak with them directly.)

So, technically, N is fluent in two languages: human and Pokémon!

I hope my chatter makes sense, by the way!

And thank you for the ask! ^°^

HEAR ME OUT, HEAR ME OUT, HEAR ME OUT-

My favorite pokemon Crackship that I just made up one day. I have a whole AU around it. (James isn't in Team Rocket in it, it's just his most recognizable outfit)

I call it ✨TrainingWheelShipping✨

I think this technically counts as a crossover ship? If you don't count that time that N appeared in the anime? This is game N and show James. Their stories are a bit different, I feel the need to specify LMAO

[ask-former-king-n]

What do you think of the different champions? Have you ever met any of them, having been the king and all?

“I really only know Alder, that’s because of Ghetsis.. I truly don’t understand how someone as kind as alder ended up with a man like Ghetsis, but if alders happy, who am I to judge him?”

[beezonia]

Some thoughts ooon… N for a change! 💚

HI NINA!!!

N is one of those characters I adore but don’t talk about a lot (did you know in evolutions he’s voiced by chris hackney who’s dimitri’s English va!)

——

I mean at first you see an innocent kid who grew up surrounded by pokemon, he’s able to understand these pokemon and be at one with them because of this

Then in comes Ghetsis and Plasma, who end up using N’s innocence to mould him into the ideal king for Ghetsis’s beliefs

And just like that he’s used for someone else’s plans, used as a pawn because of someone else’s fucked up ideals and it kills me that N had his innocence, the bond with him and the team he grew up with ripped away

Because Ghetsis decided to use him for his own gain (much like someone else we know)

Now N gets fed this idea that Pokemon and humans need to be split because Ghetsis gives him a team of pokemon that have been hurt by their previous trainers

N only saw the bad side because that’s what Ghetsis wanted him to see and we know Ghetsis was using him as a pawn in his game

AND THIS HURTS BECAUSE THAT POOR BOY FROM A YOUNG AGE WAS USED TO FIT SOMEONE ELSES IDEALS AND IT KILLS ME

——

BUT! He meets Hilda/Hilbert and because of them and their Pokemon N begins to have doubts

(that’s because of their mons thoughts and how much they enjoy being with the protag)

So even if he continues to be on Plasma’s side, the seed of doubt has been planted anyway!

Then you battle him time and time again, he befriends Zekrom/Reshirham and ends up battling the protag and looses

He then tells you about his doubts after Ghetsis has been defeated, he knew when he met the protags pokèmon that something wasn’t right

And then he leaves you with his dragon (a popular headcannon I think, is that Hilda or Hilbert end up going after him)

I LOVE THEIR BOND BTW HOW N GOT TO SEE THE GOOD SIDE OF POKÉMON AND HUMANS LIVING TOGETHER BECAUSE OF HILDA/HILBERT

I really need to write more for them

——

In BW2

He says this

THATS WHAT HE LEARNT FROM THEM!

This is growth, he’s slowly learning that not everyone has the same ideas and that he shouldn’t force them to follow his

HE GROWS, HE LEARNS AND IT MAKES ME SMILE SO MUCH TO SEE HIM ACTUALLY HAPPY WITH HIS TEAM AND ZEKROM/RESHIRHAM

SO MUCH SO HE GIVES THEM UP!!

——

Nina I love him so much and these thoughts are so jumbled but please take them

[president-homewrecker-arts]

n and bianca should be friends actually. they’d have a lot to talk about

[ghostatrandom]

I don’t know if you’ve done a fusion design for N yet but I was thinking about it and I think an N and Zorua fusion could be fitting

Honestly in the hybrid au he is more of a creature, like the most creature you can think of and probably is overprotective over the legend orbs (which vía the magic of: I only have a vague idea around the rules of this world) are later absorbed by Hilda and Hilbert so yeah absolute creature non-guy (which I also made into a zoroark instead of a zorua cause my ass cannot read-)

His Gaze | FWS

   His gaze was void of emotion.

   He stared from afar. Stared as the man he called father gave his speech. Words became empty breaths as they parted through pale lips. No emotion gleamed in such a face. Even the calm colour of blue irises dulled immensely under the sun’s brilliant glow.

   He didn’t move a muscle. Not once. Not a step.

   Only the sight of his chest moving calmly was any indication of his living. His breathing just as silent, he watched as the man gave a boastful roar that shattered the audience’s confidence on what they used to believe in.

   Yes. This was for the Pokémon. This was always for the Pokémon.

   Suddenly, he felt a soft touch on his left palm.

   Finally, the man moved. His head lowered; gaze fallen on the Purrloin who purred and nuzzled his warm palm. The Pokémon was quite friendly. Even though they just met, the very fact that the man was able to communicate with him easily earned Purrloin’s trust.

   “Lend me your strength,” the mysterious man requested an hour ago. While the bond they shared was temporary, the Purrloin was more than happy to lend a paw.

   The sight twitched a smile on the man’s face.

   The speech finally ended.

   As he watched his father and fellow grunts walk away from the park, he also observed the people in it. Opinions were heard. Thoughts were scattered. Some agreed with what his father declared. Some already started to bid farewell to the Pokémon who deserved better than mere subjugation.

   Some however were still hesitant, saying that they would never break a bond they had made with their beloved Pokémon.

   Foolish.

   It was what he thought.

   Lips in a straight line, he moved a few steps forward. The crowd started to lessen, but the man kept a distance in order to ease his comfort. It was then that he started hearing the voices of Pokémon as well.

   Some chirped their goodbyes. Some barked their confusion. Some even stayed quiet, unmoving in their Pokéballs as their fellow humans discussed their freedom.

   Selfish.

   It was what he thought—

   ‘I’m never leaving you, Touko! That’s a promise!’

   Eyes widened. Pupils shrunk.

   Such a confession truly caught him off guard. Actual movement was given from the man; head turned left and right to find the source of the voice. It sounded young, yet brimmed with confidence that could rival a fully-evolved Pokémon.

   Finally, he caught sight of two teenagers.

   They were a few steps away. A boy and a girl.

   One boy had his back turned on him. A Snivy was seen clinging to his right leg. While the Grass Snake Pokémon didn’t say a word, he was seen nodding his head in vigor at whatever the other Pokémon was saying.

   The boy and Pokémon were facing a girl. In her arms was an Oshawott, face boasting with pride as he crossed his little arms and cocked his head high.

   ‘This bond we have is special!’ It was the Oshawott’s voice that squeaked. ‘No way some stupid speech about liberation is gonna make me leave my trainer. She’s the best!’ His white little paw pounded on his chest, right at the hard shell that was positioned right in the center. The sight was apparently amusing for the two humans for they started to laugh.

   The particular girl laughed the loudest. Left arm cradling the Oshawott’s bottom, she had her right hand scratching the Sea Otter Pokémon’s cheek. The action only made the Pokémon smile wider, voices now bursting with coos and squeaks of affection. Unable to handle how adorable the Pokémon was, the girl brought it closer to her face and snuggle him.

   The laughter rang louder.

   He looked at her, pupils dilated slightly at the female trainer. Her hair was a long brown and was tied to a high ponytail. Her arms looked slim, yet he could guess her strength based on how long she had carried the water Pokémon. Even with a hat on her head and the long brown bangs on the sides of her face, he was able to see her.

   A silent gasp escaped him.

   Her smile was bright. So bright. White teeth flashed in his gaze, brilliantly blinding him until he could see nothing else but her. The sound of her laugh was sanguine. Despite the gloomy aura the speech had given to some, it seemed that it didn’t bother her the least. Even though the girl couldn’t understand what the Pokémon in her arms had just said, amazement held him still to see such confidence, knowing that their friendship wouldn’t dissolve so easily.

   “You’re so cute!”

   He heard her speak.

   “I’m never leaving you, buddy. You’re family to me now!”

   Mouth parted. Chest ached.

   Ba-dump!

   He didn’t know when. He didn’t know how. But as his gaze fell on her, he felt his feet move forward.

   Towards them. Towards her.

   As he approached, he watched as the two Pokémon sensed his arrival first. Immediately, the two were on guard; the Snivy stood before the spectacled boy and the Oshawott assumed a jumping position out of the girl’s embrace.

   The man stopped just a step away.

   The two trainers turned to meet his intimidating height. Confusion hovered above their heads with wary eyes gleaming under the sunlight.

   “Can we help you?” the girl asked, voice now cold and absent of the joy that burst a few minutes ago.

   The man wanted to hear her laugh again; he didn’t know why.

   Blue eyes looked at the Oshawott in her arms, then at her.

  “Your Pokémon,” he broke the heavy silence, voice low and husky, “he just spoke. He said that that you two have a special bond.”

  Confusion merely intensified on the two trainers’ faces while shock flashed in the Pokémon’s eyes.

   Without waiting for a reply, he continued, “I am N.”

   That was all he said. And as he did, blue eyes still remained on the girl.

   “I…see.” The other boy spoke. “I’m Cheren. And this is my friend, Touko.” One hand adjusting his glasses, Cheren waved one hand to the girl beside him.

   Words were never exchanged.

   Feeling awkward at the exchange, the girl—Touko—decided to say something. “So…what did you just say again?” Curious and wary at the odd man, Touko raised a single eyebrow. “About Isaac saying something?” Of course, she couldn’t believe that the man before them understood Pokémon. She figured he was just a strange person looking for a conversation starter.

   But after a few heartbeats of not replying anything, Touko assumed that wasn’t the case.

   “Battle me.”

   Instead, stupor slapped her silly at the request. “I—what?”

   Again, the man frustratingly didn’t repeat his words. However, he did repeat it with actions as he pointed directly at her. In a silent signal, the Purrloin that watched the whole ordeal from afar scurried forward, then readied himself in a battling position right between his new friend and the female trainer.

   Confusion only thickened between the two trainers.

   That confusion lasted a few seconds however as the Oshawott—Isaac—finally hopped out of Touko’s arms and assumed an attack position as well. ‘You’re on,’ he chirped, paw holding his shell and flashing a cocky grin at his opponent.

   Taking her starter’s stance as accepting the battle, Touko let out a sigh. “Okay then.” Shrugging once, she fixed her cap and tilted her head in pride.

   To see both human and Pokémon mimic each other so well, N felt his breath hitch.

   The corners of his mouth never moved, but lips did purse to see such a sight.

   With a single slight of his hand, the battle began.

   His gaze was full of her.

i literally couldn't put all of them on here, also don't hate on other options just root for your choice.

why is your kid named natural

I named him Natural due to its definition- "a person regarded as having an innate gift or talent for a particular task or activity."

Natural has many innate gifts and talents, evidently, one of them being his leadership skills. He will make for a wonderful king in due time.

[anotherpokemontale]

I ponder what happens if Nag meets N.

Maybe the latter could be a lingustics teacher in Pokémon.

Oh, she has heard the rumors about a guy who actually perfectly understood pokemon language, after all, what kind of researcher was she if she didn’t find anything about N?

And believe me, if they meet, she would go full fangirl mode about him.. and full toddler mode too, asking him 101 questions…

I still don’t know if N will ever be included in this comic tho, but even if he is, he wouldn’t look like this uwu you’ll see why

Dionysus: Kadmos, hear what suffering Fate appoints for you. You shall transmute your nature, and become a serpent. Your wife Harmonia, whom her father Ares gave to you, a mortal, likewise shall assume the nature of beasts, and live a snake. The oracle of Zeus foretells that you, at the head of a barbaric horde, shall with your wife drive forth a pair of heifers yoked, and with your countless army destroy many cities; but when they plunder Loxias' oracle, they shall find a miserable homecoming. However, Ares shall at last deliver both you and Harmonia, and grant you immortal life among the blessed gods.

-Euripedes, Bacchae

Some additional info about Cadmus for the other anon. I think its Ares who deliver them to Elysium in this version 🥺

Oh, wow. I know there is a version where it was Ares who delivered Harmonia and Cadmus away but can't remember where it's from, so I didn't mention it.

Thank you so much for your addition, Anon! You just add more points for our Best Dad Ares truthers :)))))

How do you feel about people with service Pokemon?

and by service Pokémon I mean Pokémon that guide blind humans or alert their humans if their hearts beating too quickly and other things of the sort.

“Well, most of the times I’ve heard of them, the Pokémon seem to enjoy what they’re doing, besides, i understand having to use a Pokémon for that purpose, I mean someone can’t help fact they’re blind or have a health issue, so it’s not a negative view in the slightest.”
