#if i end up hyperfixating ill prolly end up writing some myths but i have fantasy football to work on sooo

[limelocked]

Can you please tell me more about Orphic Tubbo? I love your stuff

ait so im taking a wild guess that orphic tubbo wont actually be canon so im gonna treat it like an au and infodump all over you about this

Thalia is, like previously noted, the goddess/muse of comedy and pastoral/idyllic poetry and Hermes has a LOT of shit that’s his to work on, he’s not only the messanger of the gods but also a commerce god, a pshycopomp, patron god of liers and thieves, Hermes is all over the place

He would most likely be raised by Thalia and adopt a lot of music associations from her but also be trained by Hermes in how to be more of a trickster which cements Tubbo as a pastoral god that favours underdogs

Now the question would be how his underworld story goes since orphism is the name of the game here. The two flavours are died and got better or went down there and got back. Now because of what triggered this whole thing to start with was Tubbo going mad in the Pogtopia mines I’m gonna lean to the latter. For some reason Tubbo goes into the underworld and I’m gonna list some reasons even tho i have one in mind 1. To talk with Hades - Hades doesn’t leave the underworld so some reason to talk with him would fit 2. To retrieve a soul - Same as above and might be connected with the above, also mirrors Orpheus a bit much but ssssssh 3. To talk with Persephone - Now this is the sucker I’m most leaning to because as a pastoral god Tubbo watches over, well, pastures and if somethings wrong then Persephone is the person to ask, and she just so happen to not only be an orphic god but also stuck with Hades for half the year

So let’s say that the myth goes like this; It’s a late spring and the gods wonder what’s taking Persephone so long in coming back to the surface and independent of the Olympians rulings and decisions Tubbo just decides to go down there and ask, lying and sneaking his way into the underworld to see her. At this point theres probably some trial to overcome and while doing them like any ancient greek hero would he might charm Persephone and Hades with songs and how quick he learns the skills for the tasks and the myth ending with spring coming back idk i need to brush up on my classical greek story structures but basically thats where tubbo would gain the Orphic conotations from ASWELL as gaining associations of learning new skills and getting some epiphets in here

 Orphic Tubbo - Worshipped mostly by Orphism who puts importance on the underworld journey and his role to bring Persephone/Spring back to life  Pastoral Tubbo - Worshipped by farmers for obvious reasons  Learning Tubbo - Sounds like a bad thing but I dont know greek so im not even gonna try making correct sounding epiphets anyways so worshipped in his capacity as an amateur according to the higher class but as someone who learns skills quickly  Lying Tubbo - Worshipped as the son of Hermes and laying more importance on the trickster conotations  (this is all the same god btw epiphets are weird like that)

he would at least also have a birth myth since those take a While to fade generally and maybe one other well known myth since hes not an olympian and is mostly a minor god since most if not all of his assosiations have other more well known gods
