and the ⭐ for bellona!!

okay so one thing i’ve been dying to talk about is this scene from chapter 8 where minerva, discordia, and bellona are all fighting each other and discordia brings up how she’s been treated the worst of jupiter’s children. what i love about this moment is that it not only hunts that jupiter is the worst father to exist, but his treatment of his children is similar yet different from one another.

discordia has been gifted (or in her case, cursed) with chaos manipulation from her father and her powers have always been unstable in some cases, which made people fear her. she never really got the chance to belong anywhere because of the gifts her father gave her. not to mention, he never made it easy for her and simply expected her to “toughen up.” she never had anyone by her side to fully support her, and the only person who seemed to care was loki, which in part is why she’s easily swayed to help him during the battle of new york.

bellona has her own “gifts” from jupiter, one of which she finds herself going berserk and giving in to her bloodlust. it was a gift he thought would help her in battle, but it’s one that is not only a strength, but also a weakness of hers. there’s also the fact that her father forced her into an arranged marriage and never really supported her when she needed his help. in fact, he’d just tell her to deal with it bc marriages don’t always have to be perfect. the only time he ever helped her was when he allowed her divorce from mars, but even juno had to talk him into allowing it.

then there’s minerva. discordia points out that minerva was always his favorite, which isn’t entirely true. granted minerva’s gifts were more beneficial than harmful to her, her start off with her father was not a positive one. her mother, metis, died during childbirth and for awhile, jupiter blamed minerva for it. where jupiter neglected her as his child, juno accept minerva as one of her own and cared for her. minerva spent years of her life doing things to please her father and eventually became a skillful fighter and one of olympus’ best war strategist and earned his approval. 

what i love so much about this trio is that they’ve got more in common than they think, especially discordia and bellona. the big difference between them is that bellona had people by her side (minerva, juno, and her uncle neptune), whereas discordia mainly had herself. and honestly, if discordia had people by her side, she may not have turned out so badly. and bellona notices this, which is why she spends so much emphasis on wanting to allow discordia to live and serve a sentence imprisioned and give her a chance to reflect and grow.

WANT A DIRECTOR’S CUT ON A FANFIC OF MINE?

Can I have headcannons for Bellona and her sisters? I just want to hear all the sibling headcannons!

ooh bless your heart for this question!

bellona loves to visit minerva in london for her exhibits or simply because she misses her sister

bellona was always the closest with minerva out of all her siblings

bellona and minerva always made a bet on who’d get the most kills before going into battle and whoever loss would owe the winner a favor

discordia made the knot of hercules into a ring for bellona in hopes of wishing her marriage with mars to be a happy one, but she never gave it to her out of fear of rejection

minerva was the only person bellona went to when mars became nastier and practically abusive towards her because she felt like no one else would listen or cared

discordia is actually the youngest of the group, minerva is the oldest, and bellona is the middle child

minerva’s owl was actually a birthday gift from bellona

though discordia was estranged from her family, bellona actually set out to meet her sister at some point in the 80s in hopes to salvage their relationship

if bellona were to ever marry thor, she’d make minerva her maid of honor and discordia would serve as a bridesmaid

minerva is the person bellona, and eventually discordia, goes to for advice (especially relationship advice which minerva just doesn’t get when she has the WORST love life between the three lol)

bellona tries to help minerva go out on dates with guys but none of them works out

bellona realizes that minerva might actually be into a certain red-haired spy and makes it her job to set the two up lol

discordia and minerva both HATED mars and will happily kick his ass if bellona asked (honestly they’d kiss his ass regardless he’s just RUDE lmao)

they actually text or call each other frequently as they’ve come to better understand one another and wanting to remain close

minerva and bellona actually try to include discordia in activities in olympus because they’re tired of seeing discordia left out

discordia loves memes…a LOT

minerva doesn’t understand memes at all lmao

minerva and bellona being there for discordia when they think loki died because they both know discordia loved him no matter how hard she tries to deny it

minerva is the one who tells bellona to follow her heart and that she deserves happiness when it came to thor

the sisters support one each other’s relationships
