do you have any headcanons about the other gods?

Lol naturally hehe (that's also so much lmao)

I think I'll just try to add one for each Olympian besides Athena and add links if I already made bigger posts about them. (The non-EPIC gods might get a little shorter)

Zeus: Makes the biggest gestures, in debate, at dinner, just whenever he's talking. It's great for who's sitting next to him (usually Hera and Athena respectively) bc who doesn't love being almost hit in the face every two seconds?

Poseidon: Involves himself in arguments all. the. time. Nobody cared, nobody asked, he knows like half of the facts and has no idea what the problem is but SURE shout along.

Hades: A lot more measured and chill than his brothers, but lets himself be drawn into debates and he CAN get pretty heated if the arguments get too nonsensical.

Hera: Has a massive garden and tends to it herself. It has a peacock fountain and stuff, it's really beautiful.

Demeter: Will 100% cry if she gets a gift from one of the kids.

Hestia: The best. Gives people a bit too much space sometimes. Like, yes, all her nieces and nephews are stubborn but some of them really could need a venting session or a hug down the line, but she just leaves them be. (It is not her responsibility but she wouldn't mind them venting, she just assumes they'll come themselves)

Athena post here.

Hephaestus: Is actually a really good singer (we're not talking musical world rules where everyone can sing, normal world) Like mostly it's too loud in the forge but he sings to himself anyway and he has a good voice.

Aphrodite: Is an amazing swimmer. Basing this on her ocean-born creation myth even though I am more of a fan of her being Zeus' kid for my own version. For the same reason, I always picture her with pearls

Ares post here.

Artemis: In council, I believe she's the most confrontational actually. Yes, more than Athena. Athena lies to get what she wants. Artemis doesn't live on Olympus, she just comes for the council meetings so she might as well speak her mind even if it means the meeting is even more chaos than normal. In general, she never backs down from what she believes in.

Apollo post here.

Hermes: God of eavesdropping and gossip. Seriously. Do you really have to know every single thing that's going on? Also I think his funny persona is a coping mechanism but it's so deeply ingrained it would be literally impossible to shed.

Dionysus: Randomly says the most insightful shit you've ever heard. Like, Athena is speechless levels of deep stuff. Like... is it because of the drugs or is he on drugs because otherwise his being would transcend the universe, we will never know.

shoutout to my hephaestus design

little guyyy 🥹

Ye, i redesigned him a bit

More ideas --------->

[grimprim3]

Useless lore about my Olympian dnd au.

Hermes and Charon are besties like they call each other “boy toy”, “male wife” you know things you call your bro.

Ares and Athena actually get along with each other pretty well except for things like war things.

Apollo and Artemis do each other’s nails and talk shit about the other gods while waiting for their nails to dry.

Hephaestus and Dionysus drink a lot together.

Heracles and Hestia just talk to each other, never about anything specific they just talk.

Here you go @thestarryfalls

Hey, morning all, before I get ready for education- Peak lords as the greek gods (mainly the twelve olympians): - Shang Qinghua = Hermes - Liu Qingge = Ares - Shen Qingqiu = Athena - Wei Qingwei <3 = Hephaestus - Mu Qingfang = Asclepius (I would choose Apollo, but it doesn't vibe well enough for me - plus, Apollo is one of those shifty wide range gods) - Qi Qingqi = either Aphrodite or Hera (maybe Artemis but, despite popular belief spawned by PJO, the Hunters of Artemis was not purely limited to girls - take Orion for example) - Yue Qingyuan = now, even though he's like the head n shit, I don't think he'd be Zeus for...obvious reasons - let me introduce you to Themis, Greek goddess of justice (kind of like his peak n shit!) - Zui Xian Peak Lord = Dionysus (giggles and kicks my feet - that's right, catch me with the most violent form of autism - Making My Two Hyperfixations Kiss And Stuff)

My designs for Athena and Hephaestus, I really like how they turned out personally.

I wanted to make Hephaestus look a little more happy most artworks of him make him seem so miserable all the time, like a volcanic Eeyore. I like to imagine that he is thinking about his wife Aglaea in the picture. I sadly lost the reference I used for his nose, but if I find it, I'll add it to this post.

Athena was a bit tricky, especially her helmet, which is LOOSELY based on a Mycenaean helm.

The crest is inspired by this reconstructed Athena Aegina statue and this one artwork of a Mycenaean style Athena that I found - if anyone knows the original artist, please let me know!

Now I just have to design Hermes, Aphrodite, and Ares, then I'll be done with the Olympians!

Like the others, their design is still rough and will most likely change in the future. Any suggestions and thoughts are welcome!

Anything to justify her cheating on her husband and keeping her their girlboss goddess who can't do any wrong.

Where did this idea that Aphrodite feels neglected by Hephaestus bc he’s too busy working in his forge even come from? There are two sources that state that she actually WORKS WITH HIM at the forge, in the Dionysiaca and The Anacreontea Fragment 28. If anything this weird headcanon makes Aphrodite look even more shallow bc what do you mean she wouldn’t spend time with her husband at his work? What do you mean she wouldn’t make weapons for the Erotes with Hephaestus? What do you mean that Aphrodite Areia wouldn’t be fond of her husband making her weapons? Or that she wouldn’t make her own weapons at the forge?

This stupid ass headcanon just made me defend a ship I hate.

I hate it here.

I know its obvious, but I love how Apollo and Hephaestus literally seemed like they were pulled out of nowhere and handed a binder of everything Odysseus did up to that point and had to come up with a reason to hate him on the spot.

At least Hephaestus sounded like he gave a bit of effort, skimmed the info and provided a fair argument with what he had.

Apollo was like the kid who started working on his homework while the teacher's collecting papers. Like "Huh? Wha? Odysseus? Oh uh" *flips files to a random page* "Pfpfpfprllflfrrr i dunno, he did something to some sirens and uhhh, they sing and i like singing sooooo...yea not cool"

Athena: But they tried to kill hi-

Apollo, already turning away and pressing the golden button: Yeyeyeyeyeyeaa he's aight he's aight release him or whatever can i go now-

You don't get Hestia as an option because what, you think I'm gonna make this EASY on you?

[mo-mode]

Totally my own opinion but I’m like 65% certain Ares knew the shield was trapped in that chair machine thing (or something equally dastardly made by Hephaestus) so when he sent Percy and Annabeth off to retrieve it, he was assuming there’d be only one returning, so imagine his complete horror when both of the 12yo annoyances returned with no scratches and slammed the shield on the table. No wonder he was pissed when he sent them off

[wolfythewitch]

Hephaestus :D

[grimprim3]

What the gods play as in dnd for my Olympian dnd series.

Hermes: dm.

Athena: Wizards. Cause she’s one of the smartest gods and to be a wizard you need to be pretty smart so it kinda makes sense.

Ares: Barbarian. Need I say more?

Apollo: Bard. He’s the god of poetry and music of course he’s a bard!

Aphrodite: Bard. She’s the goddess of lust and beauty, of course she’s a bard!

Artemis: Ranger. She’s the goddess of the hunt, and nature it just fits!

Hephaestus: Artificer. He’s the god of the forge.

Heracles: Paladin. He’s the god of heroes and strength again it just makes sense!

I don’t know if I want the other gods/goddesses to be apart of it, but if you have ideas I’d love to hear them!

OLYMPIAN GODS in HADES II

Underrated moment in TLH:

When Leo just fucking KNOWS how to fly a helicopter. He like puts a hand on it and can instantly recite the make and model, knows it’s top speed and altitude and how much fuel it has left. And then he fucking flies it. He’s 15, untrained, and unlicensed, and he’s flying a helicopter. Has anyone talked about how Hephaestus kids are seriously OP?
