Nereid Achilles HCs (+ you)

🏺🐚In honour of MerMay that’s just around the corner- I’ve decided to yeet this at y’all. I know Achilles is already like half nereid or something but what if he was fully one? Plus what if he was courting you?🏺🐚

🏺-Nereid Achilles would probably act as he usually does, however I do think he’d be more calmer in some aspects.

🐚-Probably still the hotheaded, temperamental b@stard we all know but I match it up with how the sea itself acts. Can be calm and soothing or the things from nightmares.

🏺- There isn’t really a fixed ‘design’ on how a nereid would look but he’d still have his fiery golden hair and seafoam hazel eyes. You recognise them anywhere. His ears are pointed as expected and his teeth are sharp and more fang like.

🐚- His body is toned and a bit muscular too, probably from all that swimming he does and he has webbed fingers as well as pointed nails. He doesn’t exactly have scales but his skin does give off and iridescent shine to it as if to mimic the illusion of scales on parts of his body.

🏺- I’d like to think he would have those spine like fins on his back (I wish I knew what they were called), and have at least some form of bioluminescence on his body, whether it be freckles littering his body or on those fins on his back.

🐚- He keeps his hair long..sometimes it makes him look like a wet rat but sometimes it makes him look beautiful. There’s no in between.

🏺- Achilles loves hunting, anything that gets his adrenaline up. He loves the chase! From chasing food to chasing you .

🐚- If Achilles was courting you he’d probably be waiting by the shore each morning for you to show up. Nothing else catches his attention..he’s focused on waiting for you to show up.

🏺-When you do show up he’s ecstatic l a wide toothy grin on his face showing off his fangs while he smoothers you in a hug. Enjoying the feeling of your body heat while getting you soaked as well. If you get a little miffed from that he doesn’t mind. He finds it funny when you’re mad.

🐚- He often asks you to comb and braid his hair..for him it feels like a very intimate moment where you both could just chill and talk as the waves calm moves against the sand and over the rocks on the beach, he would talk about his day of swimming, hunting, and sparring while in turn listening to you and your day.

🏺- Achilles isn’t much of a ‘gift giver’ but for you, of course he is. He’d usually spend a good hour or so looking for something that would be a worthy treasure to grace his beloved with.

🐚- To your surprise he’d come back with strawberry top shells, conch shells, pearls- or on a special occasion- freaking Aquamarine. And he won’t take no for an answer so you have to take them.

🏺- When he’s not showering you with gifts he’s either being a sea pup or a lil brat sometimes- either way it just him showing how much he loves you by laying on top of you on warm sunny days and enjoying both the heat from the sun and you…he won’t let you go. I’m sorry.

🐚- On the odd occasion that he comes home with you he finds himself buried in your bed. Rolling up in a blanket like a little blanket burrito. His tail swishing slightly at the warm fabric and depending on the time when he comes over to your home..you’ll either be met with a wet blanket or a missing blanket (he has taken it with him.)

🏺- And don’t get me started on how jealous this man gets. Again..he’s not really a red flag..but..he has his moments. He doesn’t take kindly to people getting too friendly or touching with his darling. How he defines that? People talking to you for longer than 20 minutes when he’s around. In his mind- he should have all your attention. No one else.

🐚- He makes the expectation for Patroclus because he’s his therapon and friend, but like..anyone other than anyone he knows..it’s a big no no if it goes past the 20 minute and a half mark. You might want to set a few boundaries.

🏺- One odd thing he likes doing is poking your belly…why? You don’t know. He just loves to do it. Poking it and stroking it…resting his head on your belly and staring up at you with those sea foam hazel siren eyes. If you ask him why he’ll just tell you one thing. “You’re soft and I like that..”, probably due to the fact his body is a little bit more on the firmer side of things.

Son of the Sea (Achilles and Thetis) 2023

Gouache version of my old pastel work with Nereid Thetis and her son Achilles.

[spineless-lobster]

Okay no because I wanna dissect nereid!achilles SO BAD!!! Like does he have 206 bones like a normal person? More? Less? Are they made of cartilage like a shark? Is he cold blooded? Would his blood be clear like a lobsters?

I love the different ways people portray him. Sometimes he’s straight up half fish, other times it’s purely instinct rather than looks, sometimes it’s an h2o just add water situation, other times it’s subtle differences like freaky eyes and sharp teeth and pointy ears.

Would be like a pretty tropical fish? A domesticated koi? A deep sea freak? Would be bioluminescent? Can he camouflage? Grow back limbs? Am I thinking too hard about this?

There’s endless possibilities!!!!

The Tomb of Achilles by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl (1910)

[into-the-very-fires-of-mordor]

Why Isn’t Thetis Remembered As Medusa Is?

A woman so devoted to her god/goddess (Zeus and Athena respectively) that they’ve given selflessly and wholly to them, only to be repaid in rape and despair. Both pursued by Poseidon. Both intimately involved in the stories of two of the most prominent and powerful heroes in all Greek mythology (Achilles and Perseus respectively), both ultimately coming to an unhappy ending because of said heroes (Achilles’ death and Medusa’s death at the hands of Perseus). Both seem to exist peacefully and with devoted reverence to the gods only to be persecuted by the very gods who they’d demonstrated their allegiance to.

It just fills me with a pang of deep sorrow that Thetis is remembered simply as “Achilles’ mother,” and not for the many incredible myths she’s had a hand in.

[akhillaous]

thetis, a nereid sea goddess. portrayed by arwen undómiel and eärwen from the lord of the rings & the hobbit.

[hermesmoly]

I’m probably the only fellow who interprets Thetis as a blonde

[kupidachillea]

Do you think if you ever took Achilles to an aquarium (or aquarium date) that he’d just stare at the fish and such with a look of longing or something? Y’know..since he’s like half nereid..? Would he miss the sea side or the beach?

[perroulisses]

so

I've made Achilles an amongusona or something like that at the first half of the year

I don't have a explanation I'm just cringe like that

And them things happen inside of the little amongus guy:

idk abt you but i came here to make the shitpost ig(?

[koipalm]

i am sure multiple dozens of people would disagree with me but i LOOVE to think that zagreus eventually surpasses achilles' level of skill. im not actually sure if its stated in canon if zag can consistently beat him in a fight but like. all zag has is time. and hes 3/4 god, whereas achilles is uhh. either half nereid point blank period or like 1/8 god 7/8 nymph depending on the source BUT REGARDLESS i wouldnt say hes as divine as zagreus. like in a game of cards i think god overrules nymph but thats just me. anyway i love the idea that it does take time but zagreus does eventually pass achilles in terms of strength/tactics/speed but maybe im just incredibly biased. gets off my soapbox

[kebriones]

achilles was only angry cause he wasn't swimming

do you mean because he wasn't swimming constantly? They were living on a beach for ten years in troy i'm pretty sure he went swimming often.
