THE UNDERGROUND SUBWAY of ʜᴏᴋᴜ ᴄɪᴛʏ was the oldest in the country, it's tracks laid on secrets, it's history made of blood: rebuilt three times after collapsing in on itself on all manner of holy days; rumored to have gutted and exhumed catacombs when expanding it's winding, sinuous slither to the gaping maw of the harbor. A ghost story for misbehaving children straying from their mother's tight grip when waiting for the train, a superstition for elders to speak about in hushed tones when the weather turned and the freeze settled in their very bones: the underground of Hoku City was alive, and despite all the life that crawled within it - people in the heart of the teeming epicenter of the world, ants in the palm of Hoku's right hand - it had a penchant for agony and it dealt in death.

The underground ferried the innocent from station to station, shore to shore, day in and day out with a predictable regularity, but all things deep and hidden shelter grievous things in their penumbra, and all port cities have best kept secrets that keep their law enforcement punching overtime.

Yes, no city is whole without it's shadow and the vermin that thrive within, and in Hoku City (capital of greed, deity of sin) there were more than enough scavengers and vipers, alike. The most prominent of them all - the most entrenched, the most inextricable, the most cavernous and spindly and ever creeping, still - was the ꜱᴇʀᴘᴇɴꜱ ꜱʏɴᴅɪᴄᴀᴛᴇ. As old as the underground subway and twice as expansive, a haven for bootleggers and criminals, sinners and thieves, the Serpens was a name you'd only ever whisper about on well-lit street corners, and prayed to over a bottle of something not-quite legal. The kingpin of desecration, the commander of immorality and crime - the Serpens was a group not to be trifled with, a gang not to be crossed. It's hooks were so deep in the city they became the foundation for it to stand, and it's power was old and steadfast, generational and growing.

But betrayal and death come to the harbors of Hoku, and sometimes, not even the star god himself can keep the inevitable from anchoring in his port.

ꜱᴜʙᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ꜰᴏʀ @cherubim-net's CHERUBIM CELEBRATION

ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢ: muni sarang x bang chan; okalani akana x kim hongjoong; song deokhee x song mingi; mun na-eun x jeong yunho; park kyung-ah x choi jongho if you squint

ɢᴇɴʀᴇ: mafia au, angst, gore, hurt comfort, dark fic

ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴜꜱ: ongoing

ʟɪʟᴏ'ꜱ ᴍɪᴄ: and if that throwaway joke oka made about deserving a vincenzo style mafia au story really was a rhetorical statement... i cannot be held accountable for the scene i am making here and will continue to make until the itch at the back of my brain has subsided. yes, this is a mafia au, yes it is currently in a state half-baked and occasionally trite, yes, you're gonna eat it like a four course meal. if you don't, rip, but i don't offer refunds, and tumblr said it's unnecessary to provide financial compensation. in other words, hi, this is my celestial mafia au. updates are likely going to be sporadic but iconic. all of the opinions expressed here are correct, actually, unless you are @sol-tothebeat and disagree. then we can talk about it in your dms, queen, my trust in you is as close as i will ever get to blind faith.

ꜱᴛᴀʀʀɪɴɢ: muni sarang, okalani akana, park kyung-ah, song deokhee, mun na-eun, jeon soyeon, kim hongjoong, jung wooyoung, song mingi, choi san, jeong yunho, bang chan, choi jongho, park seonghwa, kang yeosang, and more!

The fact that Perseus was willing to fight a sea-monster and possibly die in an unmarked grave for the chance to marry Andromeda lives in my head rent-free btw

[seasicksilver]

the best duo to exist is a war goddess and some guy she thinks is cool enough to hang around

Eurylochus: Love makes people do stupid things. Polites: I love everything! Eurylochus: That explains a lot.

they should show up to kazansky family events together occasionally over the years and do fun family things like share an air mattress in the living room with ices 19 year old cousin and take a 4 hour trip to the grocery store just for milk and chainsmoke behind the shed with ice’s sister. they deserve it ❤️

WIP of Perseus for an upcoming project. I feel like his story is so easy to adapt, but modern authors never seem to get it right, choosing to either villainize or sideline him in him own story

Everyone is so mean to him

(This is him pre monster slaying escapades)

Ares to Hermes: Any restaurant is a drive thru if you try hard enough
