Amphibia PJO AU but the girls' divine parents are not what you'd expect at first glance but it makes more and more sense the more you think about it. I'm talking Marcy as a child of Ares btw

[xiaomomowrites]

Greek mythology eremika if you wanna do another mythology that’s fine 😊

Introduction: Uh haha okay, this one was really fun (too fun) and we maybe might have possibly a little bit got carried away.  So get ready for a long list because this one was too good. Set in a modern day AU where Greek mythology exists, thus, gods, goddesses, and demi-god[esse]s exist are a thing.

Eren is son of Hades (whose mortal form was Grisha) and Carla, so he’s a demi-god.

He doesn’t wanna be like his dad, and he gets a little insecure with his anger issues that were a lot worse when he was 15 hah.

Mikasa is the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares, Levi is her half brother, they share the same dad, but his mom was a mortal. Mikasa is a goddess.

Powers consist of ridiculous strength and fighting skills

Mikasa comes down to Earth because she’s bored, and she felt inexplicably drawn to Eren, while she was watching from above.

He was so powerfully drawn to her too, but it’s ‘cause she’s the daughter of Aphrodite lol

Eren outs himself by saving her. Mikasa, tactful and immortal, wasn’t afraid when she got held up at gunpoint, but he panicked and saved her recklessly, thus revealing the fact that he’s half god.

At first Eren is hesitant on starting something up with her because he thinks her lifespan is much shorter than his, assuming she’s mortal. But after the incident he realizes he loves her anyway, and would rather spend whatever time he has with her as best as he can…so he makes a move.

“Hey, I like you, a lot. Do you wanna see where this goes?” (it ends up basically a relationship, she just doesn’t want to put a label on it and make it official)

Mikasa says “I’m just visiting, don’t wanna get too attached” (she’s vague; he assumes she means she’s just visiting the country)

So they hang out a lot; she loves being around him, it makes her feel something. She finds that she actually enjoys being on Earth

Eren’s always flexing his powers when it’s just the two of them

he shows off his inhuman strength whenever he can,  she finds this cute lol

Eren uses his invisibility to scare her but she already knows he’s there, she’s not stupid. Mikasa plays along and pretends to be scared

He does some lame romantic shit with candles he lit (fire power yuh) and tries to ask her to be with him again. 

“I don’t get it, do you..not…like me?” he asks one day. She still says no because she feels like she can’t be with him with this big secret.

“No, I do.”

“Then why…?”

“It’s complicated.”

Their relationship would be tied to his lifespan (again, because these two just can’t get a break haaah) and that’s also a deterrent for Mikasa.

“But I love you” oof.

Armin is the child of Hermes, but only Eren knows. Mischievous lil shit, my boy. Both of them think Mikasa is mortal.

Mikasa says things and lets clues slip of what she is and Armin puts two and two together

They visit an old statue built after the Great Titan War, erected to commemorate one of the gods, and Eren just really likes looking at it because it reminds him of who he is. Mikasa smiles fondly, “ha, I remember when this was built.”

Eren laughs it off, “Good joke, but you’re only twenty-four. I get to live to be ten thousand years old.”

Mikasa finds this cute, but just smiles at him.

People start dressing like they used to in the sixties, and Mikasa says “aw, they’re bringing it back. But personally, I always liked the Roaring Twenties the best.” Eren just thinks she’s talking about decades like it’s history, not as if she’s already lived through it. 

Mikasa doesn’t flex like Eren does but obviously it shows here and there:

of course she’s irresistible af, she just gets the attention of like everyone, male and female (lol I’m looking at you, Sasha), so cue jealous Eren.

especially Eren, who finds himself absolutely enamored with her and gets caught staring way too many times. “How is this fair?? I’m a demi-god, I should be immune to this.”

Work out buddieeesssss, and she lowkey curls heavier weights than he does. Instead of being mad jelly he appreciates the fact that she’s crazy strong

She teaches him how to fight hah

postscript:

“So, Mikasa, are you good at Greek Mythology?” Armin takes the seat in front of her as soon as Eren is out of earshot.

She eyed him warily, “I guess I am. It was my favorite subject in school.”

“Mhmm,” he hums, “so if you’ll indulge me for a moment…?”

“Go ahead.”

“Alright, so. Aphrodite, as you probably know, was married to Hephaestus, but she had an affair with Ares, yes?”

“Mhmm,” Mikasa nods.

“It’s just, when Ares and Aphrodite are written together, their most commonly told story is of them being ridiculed for infidelity. And more often than not, Ares’ name is associated with humiliation. And so that got me thinking,” Armin continues, “all that ridicule to such a powerful god- the God of War, mind you- don’t you think that would tamper with his reputation? Don’t you think that by being with Aphrodite for one night, his entire life was ruined?”

“It’s hard to say,” Mikasa replies bitterly. She recalls her father, drinking away his problems with Dionysus as he reluctantly withers under the cruel words of other people. He may be the God of War, but he’s not exactly the best at dealing with internal battles. “Gossip and rumors tend to ruin a lot of people.”

“There’s one thing I just can’t seem to shake off, though,” he goes on, “it says in all the books that Ares has many offspring: Eros, Anteros, Phobos, Deimos, Harmonia, Himerus, and Adrestia.”

Yes, Mikasa frowns internally, she’s aware of all her (half) brothers and sisters.

“But there’s always one more kid they never mention. She’s only ever alluded to, but she’s the first born of Aphrodite and Ares. They said she was a beautiful child with black hair smoother than a baby’s bum and porcelain skin. Now you’d think that she’d exist somewhere: maybe in the background of one of the pictures, a name quickly mentioned in a conversation, hell, even just a supporting character somewhere, but no. She’s nowhere to be found. And yet every book I’ve read on Greek mythology says she exists. Thoughts?”

Mikasa stares at him, and if Armin wasn’t totally trying to fuck with her he might be a little scared.

“I mean, with both her parents being the head of a scandal and the whole world thinking you are a bastard-” Mikasa physically recoiled at this, but Armin continued, “it can all be overwhelming, no? I like to think she took the next opportunity to start her own life- rid of all rumors and untainted with impurities- and ran with it. But by doing this, do you maybe think she was a coward? She couldn’t face what people thought-”

“No.” she answers sharply. 

No, she was not a coward. Mikasa was the daughter of Ares, damn it, like hell she would shy away from a problem. Realizing that she answered too quickly for it not to be suspicious, she tries to recover. “I mean, there’s no telling what she was thinking. I think… she just wanted to start over. She wanted a new life, one that she could control. Not one where people had already judged her character while she was just a babe. It was unfair what people thought of her. Born a bastard, the daughter of a whore and a good-for-nothing man. It makes sense that she wanted to take back control of her own life- Armin, what brought all of this on, anyway?”

Armin just looks at her, eyes unreadable but still scrutinizing. One look, and Mikasa already knows.

“What?” he feigns innocence. How dare.

“Say it, Armin.” She challenges.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“No, say I’m the child of Aphrodite and Ares, or else I’m just a normal human being.”

Armin swallows hard. He stares at her, contemplating for a few moments. Her gaze was hard and almost threatening. This was the daughter of the God of War he was challenging; he was treading on thin ice. “You’re the child of Aphrodite and Ares.”

“You’re what?” It’s Eren who overhears, and suddenly both eyes are on him.

Mikasa’s whole composure falls, and guilt washes over Armin. “I’m sorry…I didn’t tell you.”

“No, this is great! Great!” Eren stops her before she can apologize anymore. Armin’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise. He fishes around for more words but they don’t seem to come to him. “It’s great!”

“One more and I’ll believe you.”

Eren pulls her into a hug, “I know my expiration date is ten thousand or something years, but I’d love to spend those ten thousand years with you.”

one paragraph descriptions of ffn members?

Anon, I’m gonna break your neck (jk, love youu!!) I don’t know if I’ll be able to do everyone, so if you don’t see yourself on here maybe we can talk sometime ;))

@helenstroy - Ah, Victoria, my lovely fiance (don’t think I’ve forgotten about this)! Despite being labeled as the weirdo of the group, and for a reason by the way, she’s anatagonising five people at the same time, I still can’t help but perceive her as an innocent child, still in awe with the world. Also what kind of fucking dreams are these, they’re almost as odd as mine.

@histcria - Nikoletta, with whom I share the joy and pain of living in the Balkans. She’s just three years older than me, yet I can’t help but perceive her as a bigger sister, who manages to be fun and mature at the same damn time. She seems very smart and I kinda admire her history knowledge, and she also looks very cute!! I love her hair!!

@forever-and-almost-always - I’m reaally tempted to just call her Ares the whole paragraph, but I’ll try not to annoy her much lol. I’d say Kendra is the certified adult in this net who keeps on repeating “I’m too old for this” despite still being in the beginning of her twenties. She really loves The Greatest Showman which is an amazing movie tbh aaand we both love Medusa’s route.

@chaanv - I actually haven’t spoken that much with Surbhi, partially because I rarely speak unless spoken to, partially because she doesn’t say that much in the chat, which I totally relate to. She seems like a very nice person, one who’s always trying to spread the kindness and I find it really admirable how invested she is with Hindu mythology because I know how hard it is to love something that is unfortunately so underrated.

@lilttlebird - Luiza, my Brazilian baby!!!! She holds a special place in my heart because she always tries to induge me in my sheniagans, even when she has absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. Also she’s the physical manifestation of the sparkling heart emoji. She’s an incredible beautiful person, both inside and outside, and she deserves good things only.

@kanokas - I actually really love her name, like if I was a mother I’d probably name my kid something mythological as well. She’s a very good writer and all her stories are so original - I don’t even know how she comes up with them!! She’s always striving to make everyone feel welcomed and she also has very good taste in animes ;)

@desole-sinistre - Here’s things I’ve gathered about Jo - a theather kid( i think??), has a step-sister, likes Call Me By Your Name, both the book and movie, seems to have a thing for Aphrodite, seems to know a lot about a lot, if that makes sense, and is also very handsome!!! They look like a model!!!

@primordialnyx - She’s honestly a very nice person who seems semi-entusiastic about most things, you know? She’s still somewhat distant to me personally because we just dodn’t interact quite that often, but she does have some of the best reactions to compliments.

@mysticalmagicalpineapple - She’s such a cutie!! She was one of the first people in the net to make me feel welcomed and for that I will be forever grateful

@shorecatcher - I actually think she was the first blog I followed on here? I had been following her on my main for a few months and she had always seemed very friendly, so when I made this blog I immideately joined her mythology family, because I didn’t know what else to do. I’m still a little starstruck when she reblogs my edits tho lol

@penumbvra - Sasha is a really nice person who definitely likes to crack jokes and she more than likely has a thing for witches if you ask me. Overall, she gives me the vibe of that one friend that’s a hundred times cooler than you, yet still hangs out with you.

@thewinedarksea - I still feel a bit awkward calling her Mary, because it’s like calling your teacher by their first name. She’s a very nice persons and always compliments people’s edits, which, for me, is especially flattering coming from the queen of moodboards. She’s also probably the reason for how popular my samodiva moodboard became, which I’ll be forever grateful for

@maedhxos - She’s one of those people that kinda come and go - one day she’s here, the next she isn’t. She’s still very nice whenever she comes on, but also her edits are incredible! I’m kinda jealous lolol~ I actually find it kinda cute how close she is with her sister (also they look incredibly alike, I thought they were twins)

@queeenpersephone - She’s honestly very nice and very down to earth! At first I was a bit intimidated because I thought she was this like, godly popular blog, but when you actually talk to her, it’s immdeiately like speaking with a friend!

@merflk - Truly, a goddess walking among mortals, gracing us with her presence. Also she’s really nice!! She compliments my edits! She’s such a sweetie, in every sense of the word, you might as well get diabetes.

@pclyxena - I love you Em!!! I know we don’t talk quite that often and that’s kinda my fault, because I suck at keeping conversations going, but you’re really amazing!! I love your taste in music and I squeal everytime you compliment my edits in the tags!! Only the best of wishes!!
