#idk where i saw this but i remember reading a fic that before athena was born that poseidon was the strategist of the gods

[justaz]

mmmmycenaean zeus somehow grabs power from poseidon and makes it like a rule to not mention the period of poseidon being king so over the years new gods are born and soon enough everyone has forgotten except poseidon. but water is one of the most patient elements that can even wear down the earth and form canyons that span thousands of feet so he bides his time. he plays along and acts like the less powerful of the big three boys and pops out kid and kid waiting for the powerhouse he knows he can sire.

(he had attempted once with hera, apollo, and athena to overthrow his brother and take his throne back that way, assuming the goddess of battle strategy and the god of knowledge and prophecy would guarantee success but lo and behold he was a mortal man for a year. never again. he’d wait zeus out.)

years and years later, poseidon meets sally and they have a son - perseus; destroyer. poseidon knows it’s his time. he can feel the power of the sea running through his veins. the weight of the prophecy is heavy over him and his son but he hopes that perseus will be the child of the prophecy and raze olympus. it was rightfully his anyways. if perseus destroys olympus then poseidon can rebuild it as his own. only, he doesn’t. it’s kronos, his father, who rises in an attempt to raze olympus and reclaim power, then his grandmother who rises to kill everything and poseidon’s hope grows stronger as percy is chosen for both prophecies to take down those more powerful than the gods.

but percy is tired. he wants a quiet life. he wants to go to college with his girlfriend annabeth, the daughter of athena, goddess of strategy. poseidon knows how deeply they care for one another, just what they would do to keep the other safe, that their bond, their love, is stronger than any poseidon has seen in…ever. percy wants a calm life with her but zeus has always been prideful and arrogant and has always hated poseidon’s children for just how powerful and uncontrollable they can be, just as the sea is. poseidon thinks it reminds him of just how powerless he’d be should poseidon make a move against him. anyways, zeus decides to intervene and make a clause that keeps percy out of college unless he does more work for the gods.

poseidon breaks the news to percy in one of the worst ways possible. he offers no sympathy or compassion and pins it all on his brother. he watches the water around percy begin to boil as rage simmers beneath his skin and has to fight a smile. percy leaves, practically stomps out, and takes part in the stupid challenge zeus has set before him. poseidon honestly admired the self restraint of his son but desperately wanted him to break and rage against zeus. he knew it was long over due. and then it happened. zeus punished apollo for the war and the prophecies and made him human. percy’s cousin, zeus’ son, jason, followed apollo on a mission and didn’t make it back. he died in the water. poseidon felt his lungs fill with water as his blood seeped into the sea.

he could’ve saved him, but… but. but. but.

hera wails, thalia rages, nico disappears. apollo grieves. percy breaks.

it’s glorious. he watches the children of the big three - nico, hazel, percy, and thalia turn their ire toward zeus. hera joins them. his sister, who has always hated demigods, joins them. she wails that jason was her champion that he refused to save, that he forbade her from saving, that he only saved thalia because that gave him the chance of his child being the child of the prophecy and bringing him more fame and honor as his child would be savior of olympus. since there was nothing for jason to do but honor the minor gods - or to take the honor and attention away from zeus and turn it to the other lesser gods, as he would say - there was no honor for zeus to glean off him.

they lead the charge against zeus with hera, dionysus, apollo, artemis, and poseidon himself backing them up. poseidon always knew his son, perseus, destroyer, had the power to take on olympus and win, but combined with the other demigods that are powerhouses in their own right? olympus fell all too easy. poseidon waded through the destruction of zeus’ kingdom, his old power cracking through with every step, and reclaimed his throne and title as king of the gods

OTP tag game.

Tagged by @captainjowl. You know for sure than I'm struggling to pick only 10 & fit them in here. But hell, that’s fun, thank you <3

Rules: Choose 10 OTPs BEFORE reading the questions, and then get to answering

1) Harry James Potter & Sirius Orion Black

2) Daniel Le Domas & Grace (Ready or Not 2019)

3) Samuel & Nathan Drake (Uncharted 4)

4) Corvo Attano & The Outsider (+probably Emily Kaldwin; Dishonored series)

5) Steve Grant Rogers & Bucky Buchanan Barnes (Marvel)

6) Tony Edward Stark & Peter Benjamin Parker (Marvel)

7) Handsome Jack & Rhys (Borderlands video game series)

8) Damon Salvatore & Elena Gilbert (TVD Books & a tv show)

9) Batman & Joker (in every universe, really)

10) Adam Jensen x Francis Pritchard (Deus Ex video game series)

1. Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 6?

I believe it didn't hit me before Spider-Man: Homecoming. Civil War was about Steve & Bucky for me, but when I saw that growing up Peter with Tony, their dynamic, chemistry. Tom & Robert are really just like that.

2. Have you ever read a fanfic about 2?

Lmao. I've read like 50% of the tag on AO3, I wrote my own & started a few wips on them. They are amazing. Plus, with that shitty canon? We didn't get enough of them & they deserved better, so it's only logical to save yourself with fanfiction.

3. Has a picture of 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr screen saver?

I was living with The Outsider icon on my twitter & tumblr. That one is still my Google profile picture I believe. Don't remember about having an icon with the two of them. Also had The Outsider as my lockscreen on my smartphone for a while.

4. If 7 were to suddenly break up today, what would your reaction be?

Funny how it fits canon, lmao. Rhys literally tried to erase Jack's AI in TFTBL, so I guess another day on Pandora, nothing new. They torture each other, they kiss each other, they kill other people in the process. It'll be fiiine.

5. Why is 1 so important?

I love them since the first time I met them, which was much more than 10 years ago, I don't even remember when. At some point they were the reason I was waking up & forcing myself to eat just to read more fanfiction & feel something. Even if I was drowning in pain (I was extremely depressed), it was still something. I read every fic I could find at that time. The depression that Harry went through, all these feelings, his love for Sirius. I was living through it, I could relate.

I'm currently drowning in these two again, though in a much healthier & happier state. I see their flaws & I know as much as I can. I see them differently as an adult. They saved me, they keep being my number one, I still consider making a tattoo of Padfoot/Sirius or of both Harry & Sirius together. I have many headcanons, ideas, I write fics about them. They are everything, you see? They were my choice when there was nothing, no one. They are HOME.

6. Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship?

Both. There goes the dynamic of Jack & Rhys: torture, fighting, flirting, a lot of trauma. I'd definitely say that they are wild and comical sometimes, but they are definitely serious. With the Asylum, the mental health issues. There is so much more to it, the complexity of their relationship. The struggle of loving who you probably shouldn't (but hey, when does it work like that?) Thinking about Tettlate's Batman, about Batman: Europa & how Joker was: "You must be crazy, putting me in charge of the plan, letting me decide. Okay, well..."

Nah, they are entertaining, but this is a serious ship.

7. Out of all the ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry?

Are you kidding me? They are all the definition of CHEMISTRY. I'd say 5, but then go 2, 6, 7, 8. Come on. I'm not choosing. Most of they are WILD.

9. How many times have you read/watched the 10’s fandom?

The fandom itself? Idk. I found one of my favourite artists through this fandom. If it's about the characters themselves, I played the first game with the DLC from start to beginning, looking around every corner. Spent more than 60 hours in there. Watched a second game (my laptop can't run the game) and the DLC (obviously), since Francis is in the DLC & not in the main game. I have a tag for them on tumblr, I read fanfiction, I tried to write my own. I still follow Elias & want a third game. Elias liked my tweets about Adam and Jensen being an actual couple a few times. I'd say I interacted with all of this a lot? Still do, actually.

10. Which ship has lasted the longest?

5. Best friends since childhood, fought & died for each other, still found their way back to each other. "It would break your Captain's heart, to see what they did to you." That only the MENTION of Steve can pull Bucky out of this brain washing(ed?) state, distract him in the middle of a fight. When Steve died in the comics because of Sharon & Tony sent Natasha to take Steve's shield from Bucky because even Tony knew how much Steve means to Bucky. And Bucky was like: "Oh, I see what he did. Not happening!" Fought Natasha (that is his ex in the comics) & kept going for Steve's sake.

Well, you see the point, I can go on and on.

11. How many times, if ever, has 6 broken up?

They're not actually canon so none? They had a few fights: In Civil war (the comics), in Homecoming (the movie).  That only means that they’ve got history & love each other.

12. If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 or 8?

As fierce Grace is, they wouldn't stand a chance against Damon & Elena. Those two had to deal with worst thing than brainless stupid zombies. On the other hand, if there were no alive humans to drink their blood... It's either an animal diet that Damon hates so much or I don't know? Still, they're faster & more powerful. Their bodies have advantage of healing the wounds as well.

13. Did 7 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason?

From some people, yeah. Don't tell Athena, don't tell Vaughn, don't tell Fiona. Though Rhys wasn't very subtle about it & Jack just doesn't give a fuck. You will probably end up dead if you disagree or bore him, or if you're useless.

"I can take you to the top, but you gotta know where the top is" & Rhys doesn't tell anybody until Jack makes him the President for like whole 20 minutes lol.

Fiona & Sasha: "This can't be happening." Sure it can, darling.

14. Is 4 still together?

I have a headcanon about The Outsider finding Emily & Corvo after Billie frees him from the Void. He doesn't have anybody & they are his only friends aside from a potential friendship with Billie. And if we don't consider TOTO dlc, they definitely are! The Outsider visits them both when they sleep & takes them to the void sometimes. How could he not?

15. Is 10 canon?

Not really but also sort of? Let's say that they really care about each other in canon, despite Adam pushing Francis away because of his trauma & fear that Megan caused him. :/

16. If all 10 ships were put into a couple’s Hunger Games, which couple would win?

Can you imagine wizards fighting extremely powerful vampires? Superheroes with venom in their bodies that make them super strong with people that made a deal with the Devil himself (hi Le Bail)? 5000 y.o. God and his lover that share his powers and an augmented human protecting his tired IT guy? Combine mental health issues to that, Jack and Rhys with Batman and Joker. Corvo & The Outsider would probably slay them all as Corvo and Emily did in both games with entire islands, though it will still be a slaughter anyway.

17. Has anybody ever tried to sabotage 5’s ship?

All the fucking time, lmaooo. I’m not even talking about it.

18. Which ship would you defend to the death and beyond?

I feel like I already did with Steve & Bucky after many Marvel movies (we're not even mentioning Endg*me, I fucking died & was dead for full 4-5 months).

19. Do you spend hours a day going through 3’s tumblr page?

I used to do that a few years back, but not anymore. There is not much content since the trilogy is finished.

20. If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you that you had to pick one of the ten ships to break up forever or else she’d break them all forever, which ship would you sink?

1 already went through it & fandom lives, so I'd say maybe 7? Rhys will find a way to bring Jack back & they are both so wild. It’s what happened in canon anyway. Jack kidnapped Lilith & forced her to do Angel's job, so I'd like to see that witch try at first. Jack is an immortal bastard. <3

Now that I think about it, Corvo would also deal with her in seconds as she waits to curse them.

As a conclusion: no one breaks up forever, we're killing the witch.

I tag: @ianmillkovichgallagher​ & @aledbr​

Whoever else wants to join the game, please do.

1, 7, 31, 50? :)

1. What was the first fandom you got involved in?

I think it’s actually Teen Wolf? I just made my blog about a year ago, although I do reblog Star Wars stuff too, so I guess they’re probably tied :) My first fic I ever published was for Star Wars, but the first fic I ever wrote was for Teen Wolf.

7. List your notps from each fandom you’ve been in.

Jydia, Pydia, Marrish, anything that ships Lydia with someone who either has abused her or is overage or both, Stalia (I will admit that they had cute moments but a lot of the way their relationship made me angry. I feel like if Malia as a character had been handled better in season 4, I would be a lot more indifferent to Stalia.) There are a lot of ships in Teen Wolf that I’m particularly indifferent to, but most of the things I flat out hate are just Lydia being shipped with people that have straight up abused her. 

I’m scared to put Sterek on this list because it’s so popular, but I will say this for them– I love their dynamic on the show, and their scenes are always so good, but I just can’t ship them romantically because of the age gap. I never really saw them that way on the show anyways? (I’ve always been a sucker for Stydia, what can I say.) I think in au fics though their relationship can definitely work that way, if the fic is done well. 

And a bonus one for Star Wars– Reylo is gross. Aside from the fact that they are definitely related, Kylo straight up abused Rey, okay. Get that away from me

31. What’s the nicest thing someone has ever said about your writing?

Someone told me once that my writing always sounded so effortless and beautiful and I think I literally cried. Also any time anyone tells me that Pas de Deux is their favorite au I gain like ten years on my life

50. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?

I hope you’re ready for this story, because it’s WILD

I got into reading fanfiction because I was looking for the sneak peek of Mark of Athena that Rick Riordan always posts for the upcoming PJO and HOO books. I somehow instead stumbled upon a “The Percy Jackson Characters Read The Lightning Thief AU” on fanfiction.net. I don’t think I even really knew what fanfiction was before that. I then proceeded to read exorbitant amounts of Percy Jackson fanfiction. There was a period where I read a ton of Harry Potter too. I lowkey don’t remember how I made the switch over to Stydia fanfiction. 

For writing fanfiction– I completely, 100% blame The Force Awakens. I, like, had the briefest ideas of a Teen Wolf Star Wars au in my mind for someday if I ever decided to write fanfic, because I used to write original stories all the time when I was younger, and I’ve always loved to write. But then I saw TFA and the Star Wars au just wouldn’t leave me alone. So I started writing it. I finished the New Hope rendition in March of 2016 and told my sister that I had written something (she reads fic too, so she gets me.) I kept working on the Star Wars au without really publishing anything else until I saw the thing for the Stydia Big Bang and texted my sister like “Idk should I do this I really want to?” and she was like “I’m offended you even have to ask just do it.” I made my blog then and wrote Pas de Deux, and now here I am! 

Ask me about my fics!
