hello all, I've been noticing my art being reposted on pinterest and while I don't particularly mind, I notice that they fail to credit me as the original artist. I beg of you, to NOT repost my art or any art if you don't know the original source or if you don't credit work. I forget to sign my work sometimes but don't take it as an invitation to repost with no credits or claim it as yours.

I'm not calling out any particular names here, I just want to point this out. thank you.

“Apollo is Zeus’s least favorite son-“

Me: *grasps you by the shoulders* NO. HE IS THE FAVORITE SON. LITERALLY WHO ELSE WOULD BE THE FAVORITE? ARES? THE GUY ZEUS LEFT IN A JAR AND SAID TO HIS FACE HE DESPISED HIM? HERMES? THE GUY WHO IS JUST THERE? HEPHAESTUS? THE GUY WHO AVOIDS OLYMPUS LIKE THE PLAGUE? DIONYSUS? THE GUY WHO IS CHAOTIC?

listen to me. LISTEN TO ME. *frantically shakes shoulders* THIS WILL SOUND BACKWARDS BUT IT MAKES SENSE.

ZEUS. PUNISHES. HIS FAVORITES. WITH. THE WORST. PUNISHMENTS.

therefore, we can conclude Apollo is the favorite and Dionysus as second favorite son.

also Apollo is mythologically the favorite son. so.

BIG OL’ PILE OF ANGST POTENTIAL!

i think the fastest and most effective prayer to any God in an emergency is just "[insert name], please help me". specifics are good in like, formal situations, but let me tell you: i parked my car in mud which froze overnight (temps in my area dropped from 50 degrees fahrenheit down to about 10 degrees with windchill), and after trying for almost a full hour to get my car unstuck from the mud, i just stared vacantly to the sky and said "Hermes, please help." and wouldn't you know it, about three minutes later my car's wheels somehow managed to gain traction and the frozen mud around them loosened enough to actually allow me to back out.

i have more thoughts on this whole (very good) incident namely involving a tiktok by olympianbutch on invocations (not tagging him because i'm not writing that essay yet), the power of the names of the Gods, and how the Gods are very, very, very good. but it's almost 3am and my brain is potatoes, so we'll post that all some other time :)

for now, i'll give a simple thank You Hermes for getting me unstuck from the mud <3

Hermes: Yeah that's the thing about being a god, we can't just have good relationships with our kids or any of the mortals we have relationships with 😔

Poseidon, tripping over himself to get to Sally the second she prayed for him: You rang? 😍

I'm a Hermes devotee, of course I stutter and struggle to communicate my thoughts and feelings from time to time.

[mrsoftthoughts]

I have this little headcanon that some of the godly relatives (or really close people to their parent, but mostly close relatives) likes to check upon demigods or they do by the parent of the child request

So I'm sharing my thoughts about this!!

Leto LOVES to take care of her grandchilds, the Apollo kids are pretty used to the fact that every single one of them have at least one history were they meet this kind woman , she also checks up her niece childs (Hecate) sometimes, she knows that her sister asteria also would have loved to have the chance of meeting her grandkids, so she's there doing that for her

Artemis also has an eye upon her nieces, especially the ones that she seems potential for joining the hunt, but in general she's there at the distance taking care of them

Both Hecate and Hermes kids (who are more aligned to their father cthonic aspect) can get some help of the god or goddess if they are lost in some way and have a pretty good chance of maybe see them in person sometimes

Macaria and zagreus used to visit the di Angelo's house pretty often to see Nico and bianca during summer and spring when hades couldn't be there himself , they also try to look upon them at the lotus casino but it was to risky ( that doesn't stop them from shot Alecto with their questions about their little siblings everytime)

The nine muses kids always end up meeting at least one of their aunts when they are little

Same for the apollonides and the Apollo kids with musical/artistic alignment, 99% of them have seen some of their sisters around them (note* I couldn't really find what was their role as muses so that why I let it vague)

Melinoe used to see how hazel was doing it pretty often, it was for both pluto and Hecate/trivia request, she end up having a little of affection for her step-sister, just a little bit

I would love to see other people headcanons around this idea so feel more than welcome to share your thoughts.

I have absolutely no artistic ability to speak of, but for every song in Epic there's an animatic that lives in my brain and I wanted to ramble about some of the moments I visualize when I'm listening

In Open Arms, the lotus eater who says "scary cave" grabs onto Polites's leg when he tries to leave. Polites scoops it up as he sings his refrain the last time and hands it to Odysseus. On the line "there is so much guilt inside your heart", Odysseus looks down at the lotus eater in his arms and it briefly flashes to the baby from Just A Man

In Wouldn't You Like, Hermes essentially makes a bunch of shadow puppets to illustrate his points. On "she can conjure up a monster that'll grind you to the bone" he conjures an image of Scylla (both as foreshadowing and as a reference to the fact that Circe was the one who transformed her) and on the second "you can be hurt" he conjures an image of Polites

In Legendary, when Telemachus sings "trying to win the heart of my mom but she is standing tall" he passes the room where Penelope is unthreading the shroud and she winks at him. When he sings "and I could fight them if I was half as strong as you" he passes by Odysseus's bow to pick up his own, and he spends the rest of the chorus shooting at phantom monsters while Athena's owl looks on

In God Games, Athena finds Aphrodite in a room of statues connected by red strings. When she sings "claims to love his mother but let her die of a broken heart", she dissolves the string between Odysseus and Anticlea. When Athena sings "he was busy fighting", she illuminates the strings tying Odysseus to the statues of his crew, but when Aphrodite responds, "more like busy spiting the cyclops", she makes them all fade again but the one connecting him to Polites. When Athena is fighting Ares and he mocks Telemachus, a string blazes to life between her statue and his, and when she sings "and tell your lover that a broken heart can mend", she creates another string to tie her to Odysseus

Also in God Games, Hera and Athena approach Zeus's throne arm-in-arm, and when he sings, "you dare to defy me, to make me feel shame" he glares at Hera, knowing what made her decide to release Odysseus

hey guys this shit keeps appearing everywhere so I'll say it once:

I WILL ALWAYS DRAW HELIOS AS THE ONE WHOSE COWS GOT SLAUGHTERED !!!!!!!! I CONSIDER BOTH APOLLO AND HELIOS SUN GODS, BUT HELIOS' COWS WERE THE ONES KILLED !!!!

[supercalime]

Look, I’m a bad queer, I don’t know my greek mythology, whoever has EPIC the musical as a hyperfixation please explain to me the whole thing to me if you have the patience cause the songs are bangers but I’m lost

HEAR ME OUT-

POST 600 STRIKE THOUGHTS

kay just thought about something real quick

so after Odysseus stabs the shit out of Poseidon, he leaves him there laying in his own blood and goes home, but our guy HERMES was watching, understandably very scared just waits till he leaves to help his uncle.

he called Apollo for help since (correct me if im wrong) i headcanon that he is one of the few who can heal gods (i hc that he healed Ares when he got injured by Diomedes in troy) so Apollo came and was like WHAT THE HELL HAPPEND and Hermes was like 😰 and Poseidon was like 🧀

and that's it, i haven't thought anything else past that lol, maybe ill do a lil comic for this idea

my interpretation of Hermes is that he gets along with all the gods, since his job kinda depends on it, and he is also a great guy so it would be very nice of him to help his uncle Poseidon. He truly has no enemies

[warcats-cat]

This is so stupid but every time I see a gif of Hermes running all I can think is

Woop there he go!

Our boy's got the Zoomies!

Silly Ctimene Headcanon :3

As some of y'all know, my Odysseus has long, curly af auburn hair. It's something he gets from Anticlea (who got it from her dad who got it from Hermes). It's a cute lil thing with Laertes having his beloved 3 tall, red-brown puff balls lol.

But unlike Odysseus and Anticlea who love their luscious locks, Ctimeine HATES it.

It's too hot. It's thick and heavy. It gets messy and frizzy with humidity. It hurts to get combed. Who on earth would purposely keep what feels like a woolen blanket on their head during the warm season?!

Odysseus hears her rants about how much she hates it. Both are tenderheaded but she is more upset about getting it styled than he is. When Odysseus is around 12-14 and she was around 10-12, hearing some more of her rants, he was basically like "…Well…what if your hair got cut by 'accident'? 👀 "

And then he basically has it set up where "oh no, My sister is stuck and all snarled with her hair in this bush! How will I get her out????"

And it's just basically him pulling a "chop chop" for her. Very uneven and in one swoop. like from "Tangled" >:3

And ofc, Anticlea and Euryclea are sad. Probably even crying a lil.

"This was on purpose, I KNOW it was, Odysseus. How could you do this to your poor lil sister?! 😭" "Because I'm a horrible and mean older brother >:3" winks at the camera while Ctimene is bobbing her head side to side and kicking her feet, giggling about her shorter, much lighter hair "You will be punished severely." "…yeh 🥲 "

I know haircutting wasn't really a thing unless grieving BUT they were kiddos and stupid 👀 This may just be a one time thing but I also really love short hair Ctimene. :)
