#i could talk about this game for HOURSSSSSS

[lum164]

read up on X and Zero lore a bit more to cope since the legacy collection DIDNT SAVE MY PROGRESS so i gotta get through sigma stage 1 AGAIN but WHATEVERRR

now im more attached, honestly i like looking at them as best friends more still,,,

[mer-acle]

More lotus fruit AU stuff OwO

since it's a "everyone lives" AU instead of ody grappling with ruthlessness/being a monster, it is instead athena dealing with being a god/feeling human since she spent so long without her god powers she feels more mortal then goddess

I’m not sure what other gods were around when Athena killed Pallas (my ass does not know mytho lore 😔) but either way Athena feels wrong being on mount Olympus during god games (as she joins ares in god games, tele was the one to convince ares to actually go help Ody but Athena is the one to drag him to mount Olympus to convince Zeus) she’s also terrified bc this is the first time she’s been on mount Olympus since she killed Pallas, both ares and Athena get fried by Zeus :(

Ares appears as a dog during ody’s childhood, as a vulture following the prince would probably cause panic among the people, Argos gets another dog friend/j young!ody also definitely made a “dog of war” joke to Ares and got smacked upside the head for it lol although well out at sea with ody and his crew, ares appears as a vulture instead! 

Athena is winged!athena however her wings and owl features slowly disappeared from her human form the less she used her god powers but they reappeared once she reawakened her god powers against the cyclops, she doesn’t like her wings :( they feel clunky, she really dislikes her owl form as well…

God games is just Apollo, Hephaestus, Aphrodite and Hera mostly bc I’m not sure who would fill Ares’s role lol but Aphrodite is the easiest to convince this time around since she’s fighting against her boyfriend!  

On the topic of Aphrodite, well Ody sees Ares as a dad, he does not see Aphrodite as a second mom, she’s more of a….wine aunt me thinks…but Ody and Aphrodite can talk for HOURSSSSSS about Penelope 

Well Ares’s weaving is sloppy he…actually enjoys it quite a bit as it often takes a while to calm down from adrenaline/bloodlust of war but weaving helps calm him when Aphrodite isn’t available to help calm him 

Athena also still loves weaving! It’s something that connects her to being a goddess and feeling mortal, Athena and Ares can sit in a room for HOURS just weaving together! They considered it prime sibling bonding experience even if they’re silent and not talking for most of it!

Athena no longer uses a spear to fight, she just uses a sword, she cannot use one after Pallas…

Athena LOOOOOOOOVES sparring with eurylochus and his big sword >:D she also loves sparring with Telemachus! She hasn’t fought in centuries and well she does have muscle memory of being the goddess of warfare, she’s very clunky still after not battling for so long so she’s a perfect sparring partner for tele! :)

I'm late bc Tumblr deleted my first draft and then I was annoyed lol

I am actually so obsessed with the war sibs they're getting lightning zapped together and I'm like aww they're such good siblings 🥹

Speaking of God games if you want another player maybe you could give Hephaestus' argument to another god (Artemis or sth it really doesn't matter honestly) and make Hephaestus level 4 as someone who actually has beef with Ares but he softens bc he knew Athena way back when. Idk throwing stuff at the wall for you hehe

Athena being uncomfortable with her wings is so sad. She deserves the world :(

Aww they're weaving together I'm gonna die

Athena using a sword is so real actually. Less shits to give does her good (bc if she continued using a spear you just know there was no healthy reason for it)

tell me more about the beautiful world

actively ignoring math homework to talk about this btw <3 the beautiful world… UM florence is living in england because that’s where she was with anatoly iirc but he leaves goes back to russia, svetlana NEEDS to leave him please god. they are having an epic lesbian romance they are what anatoly and freddie wish they could be healthy enough to have.

freddie quits global tv (the fact that it’s a cia front is kind of a bad look yk.) he goes back to school he’s doing applied math with a focus in game theory and political science (i could talk about just this by itself for hourssssss). anatoly loses his chess title and falls from grace and goes on a sort of katabasis where he realizes chess ISNT everything… he needs to suffer for a while in order to fully realize that there are things in the world for him that aren’t chess.

he and freddie are pen pals (this is where the beautiful comes in. it’s allowed to be silly…) and then i think maybe he defects again because he’s like. trying to get out of his own head and his rationale is there is nothing left for me here i need to fully start over. and he’s like “wow freddie you’re my only friend please can i stay with you 🥺” (<- he is using his pathetic man privilege) and then they psychologically attack each other for months on end because they are pathetically in love with each other but they’re so weird that they just fight forever .

crucial note that freddie and florence have made up somewhat, noting that their fallout came from a place of them both being in not a good place mentally at that point but anatoly is not in a place where he is ready to own up and apologize to florence or svetlana because he is NOT normal! so freddie and anatoly basically at this point exclusively are around each other because neither one has ä functional social life which leads to them being weirder about each other…. they play chess sometimes together and it’s incredibly homoerotic they just make intense eye contact the entire time and then pretend like they’re fine after…

@vampirehal asked me the ask game but for Jess, so I'm putting that in a separate post here : )

First impression:

Read Green Lanterns first and was like "oh she's AWESOME"

Impression now:

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS WOMAN. sorry she's just SOOOOOO interesting to me. So cool so strong so BRAVE. I have so many feelings abt Jess I could talk about her for hourssssss

Favorite moment:

Hgggg okay so like Green Lanterns was one of the first comics I read like 3 years ago so I love it but my memory is starting to get kind of fuzzy. I'm doing a character read rn of both Simon and Jess and I'm up to Green Lanterns with Jess but need like 10 more Simon issues to get there with him (so early warning I'm about to get REALLY insufferable abt them) so of her moments before that I'd probably say her big moments resisting Volthoom as Power Ring? I'm insane for the whole Power Ring stuff in general tbh. Like OH MY GOD?!?!?!?!

This is more of a simonjess moment that a Jess character moment but the whole "Just breathe, Jess"/God thing in Green Lanterns is INSANE to me actually. Like what the hell oh my god THEY REALLY WROTE THAT????? wild.

Idea for a story:

On god I have SO many. So many. For one more specific to just Jess and her character arc I have an idea about her time as a Yellow Lantern and exploring that and working that in as a step in her arc and connecting it back to past moments as both GL and PR. (This eventually ends with her going back to GL) This idea is a biggie for me and one of my favorites but probably won't see a ton of progress for a while because I'm just starting rebirth on her character read and so won't get there for a while.

That's just one but I have lots of ideas, including those during her time as Power Ring which is a CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED era of Jess. Her mental state and struggles there are so insane to me and yet nobody takes what's written to their logical conclusion and it just !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Justice League is a team book and they did some stuff with it but that actually drives me so nuts they didn't focus on Jess more during that era.

Also also have an idea that functions as a combo of Blackest Night (haven't read yet 💀) and the Star Wars zombie au novel Red Harvest that inserts Jess (and Simon too lol but we're not talking abt him rn) into Blackest Night (likely as an au, possibly canon compliant if it works once i read BN) and has Jess on Mogo alone protecting his ring from a group of zombies. It plays a lot on her origin and hunting abilities as she is tracked through the forest by the reanimated corpses of her murdered friends.

Unpopular opinion:

Hmm... I feel like she's a character with less popular opinions and more just opinions. Anyways here are some Jess opinions I disagree with.

"Simon and her should just be friends, men and women don't have to date etc." I mean yes i definitely agree in the importance of close platonic relationships between men and women but like... that's just not simonjess to me. They've also 100% got a hetbait thing going on so it's not like it isn't present in canon. Also like Jess does have close important relationships with men she isn't dating? Take her and Vic for instance (or in my ignoring canon lalala world her and Barry). Just very much disagree on this point.

Also ppl who think that Jess being a Yellow Lantern for a bit is like ruining her character or whatever I disagree? I think it had the potential to be done absolutely terribly (anxiety disorder = yellow ring type bs) but from what I've seen I don't think it has? I haven't gotten to this bit either yet but I think it's a concept with potential that could be beneficial to her character growth if done properly

Favorite relationship:

SIMONJESS!!!!!!!!! (To absolutely no one's surprise) they are like actually everything to me, basically the thesis of this blog at this point I just love them sooooo much. I feel like I talk about them a lot and yet still don't do it anywhere near enough. I can get hesitant to post bc I haven't read every single comic they're in yet or whatever but like I'm going through character reads right now and they're right about to meet so trust that situation WILL change and you will wish I'd shut up abt them : )

Also mentioned this earlier but Jess's friendships with Vic and Barry are very important to her character-wise in my mind.

Favorite headcanon:

Was about to say that I don't make a lot of headcanons but that is a LIE. anyways this is more of a future desired timeline thing so not canon but I think that when her and Simon get together, when one of them has to go out to space alone for a decent amount of time they swap rings and Jess talks to Simon's ring

back in the day as a teen I was obsessed with being on tumblr for many reasons but also bc I felt like I could discuss my interests in peace lol and connect with likeminded individuals. I’ve had this page since at least 2010 I think? I remember spending HOURSSSSSS filling up my queue with different cool shit i liked sitting at my built-in desk in my dorm room.

I migrated away obvz but I’ve recently noticed this site is not as dead as I thought 👀 but also who cares if it’s dead lmao

I am in my 30s now and I feel like I spent years hunkering down, trying to survive adulthood, trying to land a good job, all that shit. And in my 20s I feel like I lost sight of my *true* interests in favor of things I thought I should focus on instead.

Anyway this is all to say I’m a fully grown adult now with adult money and adult confidence and a grown up corporate job. What does that mean?

That means I’m back babyyyyyy I can afford to buy the things I want and dedicate the time to things I like. I’m not ashamed of my resurfaced love for Pokémon video games, my trillionth sailor moon and Inuyasha rewatches, my desire to talk about the mandalorian all the time lol so ima talk about all of it here 🥲🥰

something about healing my inner child or whatever the enlightened girlies say ✨
