why does the pjo series have to unnecessarily villainize goddesses (hera & athena) or show them as silly ladies (aphrodite & demeter) BUT posiedon and apollo are somehow shown as the coolest/most likeable gods, even though arguably, they're right after zeus on terms of corruption?
ares shown as the worst god after zeus and hera amuses me. last time i checked, he was the patron god of amazons and literally killed a man for attempting to rape his daughter but guess who cursed women for rejection? apollo. guess who raped women when they said no (aside from zeus)? posiedon.
#all the gods and goddesses in the greek mythology are flawed in their own way#it doesn't make sense why the books were so unnecessarily biased towards certain gods?#it bothers me specifically that hera and athena are SO unnecessarily painted as villains#while posiedon is ‘cool’ dad ‘great’ lover ‘decent’ god ‘reasonable’ than other olympians#i get it he's the main character's father of a children's fantasy novel so rick painted him in a good light#but my man? then why are you painting other gods who are arguably just as bad as him as WORSE#shut up i feel strongly about it#i love the percy jackson series#but i hate how the gods are portrayed#is trials of apollo a good series? yes#does it make sense why he's shown as a human-like god with redemption arc#while hera is reduced to ‘evil stepmom’ and ‘bitch to annabeth’ even if apollo is JUST as bad as her?#no#and aphrodite is not some ‘silly fangirl’ whose personality revolves around shipping percabeth#she is powerful terrifying and cunning who can bestow some of worst revenge on those who offend her#demeter is not a silly crop goddess#her love for her daughter was so strong it almost ended the world and destroyed mankind#shes in charge of harvest and agriculture without her humanity will starve to death#shes just as powerful as the big-3 or at least she should be#posiedon is not this cool perfect rational god#medusa would disagree demeter would disagree pasiphae would disagree odysseus would disagree#apollo cursed women posiedon raped yet ares killed a rapist BUT nooo let's make ares the bad one#percy jackson#rr crit#greek mythology#heroes of olympus#trials of apollo

The delicious, tragic irony of Percy, who looks exactly like Rhea, being both desired and loved by:
Luke Castellan. Kronos' right hand and host, sharing his ideals as well.
Jason Grace. Son of Zeus who's straight up Kronos' carbon copy.
And falling in love for both of them simultaneously.
One way or another, she's doomed to relive the past.
#this is from my current fem! percy fanfic#just random ideas i have#might include them in the work#or maybe not#who knows#aphrodite is rubbing her hands in glee at this free soap opera she's witnessing#poseidon is managing (he doesn't remember his mother much after all so he's more annoyed at his daughter's TERRIBLE luck with men)#zeus is barely copying (but we don't care about him here)#pjo#pjo headcanons#female percy jackson#fem percy#persea jackson#yep that's her name#so her nickname is still percy#or sea#persea andromeda jackson#percy jackson headcanons#luke castellan#jason grace#lukercy#jercy#rhea#kronos

I'm gonna froth at the mouth over this in the tags so bear with me but reason #1278038 why the way rick went about breaking up jiper was bad: rereading her povs in hoo where she gushes over jason feels like even more of an unreliable narrator queer girl comphet psychological horror story
#it's not that that isn't interesting (it's fascinating actually. especially for a daughter of aphrodite!!!)#it's that it Obviously wasn't his og intention. the ending of hoo is clearly intended to give a positive impression of jiper#this is worsened because shelper is wildly underdeveloped so it's like Dude what did you even do this for#literally just an afterthought. a footnote really. he said “ok here's your canon sapphic rep pls stop shipping theyna now” /j#she was a main character in one of the main couples in hoo it's so crazy? how can that happen. he would never do this to percabeth#can you imagine if percabeth broke up offscreen and 2 months later annabeth was with some complete rando and then percy died. girl what#it's the kind of setup/payoff issue that is difficult to put into words because he set up something (jiper and all its complex morality)#to ultimately be good because they're making the choice to love each other in the end (poorly executed but whatever I don't hate it)#and then in toa????? he just obliterates them for no payoff and creates a new impression of the most literal case of comphet imaginable? wh#toa is my absolute least favorite sorry#marginally related but if we can Be. Chill. and acknowledge that he originally wrote nico as crushing on annabeth#(we can argue all day about how Definite the crush was but come on. he did not put percy's speculation of it in there for no reason)#(and he obviously did not plan for nico to be gay back then you will literally never convince me of this)#(representation was NOT on his mind in the first 5 books that's why the cast is almost completely white except charles and ethan)#(the disposable poc who die tragically btw)#then I see a similarly confusing debacle but like. in the opposite way#something something sexuality is fluid you can be gay and feel confused about how u used to have a het crush but are still gay#nico says so himself to piper which is hilarious#it's just the lack of consistency and poor planning that I hate........... it is a ginormous pet peeve of mine and it's All Over His Books#piper already reads as having so much growing to do regarding her gender and sexuality because Somebody#(the man writing her) littered her pov with internalized misogyny/anti hyperfemininity and went nowhere with it#rr crit#percy jackson and the olympians#piper mclean#jason grace#pjo hoo toa#anti jiper#<- I PROMISE I am not actually anti-jiper I am very neutral about it as I am with all jason ships. they had cute moments#tagging that just in case#this comes from a place of deep love for the franchise and it's characters btw I have been a fan since I was 8

My all time favorite trio i've made is Connor Stoll, Drew Tanaka and Lacy
Idk they're just fabulous together
Drew; You want me to kill that guy for you?
Connor: No
Drew: (Is a Daughter of Aphrodite Areia) Please, let me kill for you
Connor:*considering it*...No
Lacy: I'll mischaracterize them in a fanfiction for you
#I have yet to decide what epithet of Aphrodite Lacy should be from so right now she's more or less powerless#So we got: Son of Psychopomp Hermes Connor. Daughter of Aphrodite Areia Drew and then just Lacy#I havent given a trio name for them yet#And Connor is gay and ace. Drew is lesbian and Lacy is probably aro#pjo headcanon#pjo headcanons#pjo Lacy#Drew Tanaka#Connor Stoll#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackson heroes of olympus#pjo hoo toa#Drew probably breaks them out of school#only I hc Connor to be legally missing so he's not in school

there r a lot of things about the myth of psyche and eros that makes me a little insane but one of them has always been the tasks from aphrodite and the unfairness of it. they're not intended to be possible. they're so obviously not meant to be possible, and psyche isn't fucking hercules, you know, she's not a demigod or whatever, she's mortal and these aren't mortal tasks!! it's why psyche has to be helped with each one, fucking by like ants and river gods and shit. and so like. idk. i know ppl see psyche and eros as like a story about love and shit which obviously it is but as a kid psyche and eros always felt like a story about being able to accept help
#in my theoretical adaptation of psyche and eros i'll never write i emphasize this theme#by changing psyche from a princess and youngest daughter to a poorer girl and eldest daughter who is very like. sophie hatter esque#also tbh when i first started thinking about my theoretical adaptation of psyche and eros i was reading hmc LMAO#also also ALSO. as a kid i always felt like the story was soooo deeply about regret and atonement and forgiveness#like YES the story is about love but not about easy love. love is difficult and requires work and sometimes u hurt each other !!!!!#it always struck me as a kid how psyche just. accepts the tasks.#i always read it as like. psyche KNOWS these tasks are unfair and i dont even think she expects to achieve them#but she accepts them anyways because she so deeply regrets what she did to eros and has no idea what else she can do.#am i verbalizing this well or have the worms eating my brain reached an irreversible point#also tbf im pretty sure the version i read as a kid didnt include the multiple times psyche tries to kill herself LMAO.#but we're ignoring that because i love the idea that shes just. so aimless and resigned to the tasks#ALSO on eros' side of things#i dont have like proper analysis about it but as a kid i saw eros hiding his face as like. fear?#like. fear that the person he loves will think he's a monster if he reveals his true self. or somethin. which also. i think is very queer#also very beauty and the beast. for obvious reasons since it was based on psyche and eros lmao#oh also. i already mentioned it but psyche and hercules r so similar.#did something unforgivable to a loved one --> given multiple impossible tasks to atone for it etc etc#i dont have any real analysis abt it i dont remember a lot abt hercules tbh but. yah#ALSO. okay i think retellings of hades and persephone where theyre totally in love and stuff r kinda tired.#BUT. in the theoretical adaptation i always imagined a scene where psyche does the last task where she goes to the underworld#and shes tired shes soso tired#and she goes to persephone and persephone is gentle and motherly which aphrodite has Not been to psyche#and i think if persephone is unkidnapped and truly in love w hades#then i think there could be a fun parallel between persephone and psyche in which like. theyre both in love w ppl#who are seen as monsters. and shit. or whatever#anyways. idk what made me think abt this again. ACTUALLY i do know i might write a twine for the neotwiny game jam#and it might be inspired by psyche and eros#anyways. lmao#jc.txt

How to seduce Ares [2/3]: Hebe's advice.
Hebe: I see you are interested in my brother. So let me give you advice... you need speak in language Ares will understand. Trust me, "blood and violence" is all you really need. But hurt him and I will end you myself. Aphrodite: ...
Other “Greek Mythology” arts:
How to seduce Ares [1/3]: Failed attempt
Athena is not a morning person + bonus
Hera’s reaction after meeting Thanatos.
Hera meets Thanatos, the New Friend of Ares
A daily life of Hebe + bonus
Kid Eileithyia, kid Ares and very concerned Zeus & Hera
Athena & Aphrodite (on battlefield)
Ares and his sons: Deimos & Phobos
The Gods of War: Ares & Athena
Persephone’s reminder for Ares & Athena
#greek gods#greek mythology#hebe#aphrodite#ares#cienie's art#you know how hebe seems to be the most normal child of hera and zeus while ares is prone to violence / likes battles (being hyper-active?)#and hephaestus has his special interest aka blacksmithing and making jewelry and generally being busy with his many projects#compared to them hebe of course is the most normal one#but she is ares' sister and daughter of zeus and hera and she can do damage if she decided to do so#so gods living at olympus should be glad SHE IS NICE by nature#but that won't stop her from giving a proper shovel talk to aphrodite or anyone out there for her brother(s) XDDDD#this mini series of seducing ares takes place before hephaestus is born btw

Ares would be so impressed with Ambessa, I think
#ambessa medarda#ambessa arcane#Ares the god of war#Ambessa the war general#also a think Aphrodite would also be intrigued by Ambessa as well#Ambessa had a love child bro#she loved her daughter so much she couldn’t face her look of disappointment when she tried to teach her the ruthlessness of war#to protect the ones you love#like she represents both Greek gods#they would love her#greek mythology#arcane lore#leauge of legends

It's so wild being someone who related to Jason's Eldest Daughter/Gifted Kid SyndromesTM and Piper's If I'm Different Maybe I'll Finally Be Good Enough, But Being "Different" Makes Me Feel More Lonely on their first read through HoO/tLH (and being scared, confused and angry at how much it called me out since they were the first characters I saw myself in) VS seeing how much hate for their characters were/are getting for being "boring" kids with personality image issues hits different lmao
#jason grace#piper mclean#bit of a vent cause im getting annoyed#I understand not liking their POVs but c'mon guys#I also got annoyed by Piper's crush saga being that prominent but seriously#she's a kid! and a daughter of the love goddess! let her share her mum's traits (and let her hate them! I know I would if-#my mother was infamous for being low-key manipulative and associating her with fake Hollywood standards that ruined my dad. I'd be pissed t#like having Drew solidify Piper's stand and then immediately challenging it with the rest of the Aphrodite kids being decent people??#Why can Percy can get away with being homicidal bc “oohh Poseidon's' rage is cool” but Piper + Jason having their parents' flaws not allowe#I could say more but I'm gonna be late so-

unrelated to that rb but im thinking about it and i dont think piper liking jason was ever a forced heteronormativity thing i think she genuinely liked him
#like i relate to her so much cuz like i also like guys and even though at this point in my life im more attracted to girls ive never#considered my guy crushes as 'not knowing i was queer' i think i genuinely liked them#but also the concept of piper not dealing with her internalized amatonormativity hits sooooo hard like i didnt even think of it like that#the fact she moved on from jason so quick too. not that she needs to always feel sad for him but it had to have been like at max 4 months#which isnt to say people cant move on its just for your ex bf dying that seems so quick to me#her turning to romance again to help her problems because its just what shes always been led to believe#especially as a daughter of aphrodite.... wow many thoughts. want to put her in the microwave#in other news i totally admit as cute as her and shel are it was definitely forced as a way to 'show' she was queer#but she didnt need a girl to show she was queer she could hvae just told it honestly. not everyone who finds out theyre queer is immediatel#in a relationship and you dont always need a relationship to realize youre queer#sorry that post got me thinking about other things lol#piper mclean#riordanverse

Gaia promising Hebe as a wife to Porphyrion (you know, the giant who tried to rape her mom) is not something I'd expect to read but here we are
#not just hebe she also promised the other giants athena and aphrodite and artemis to be their wives... gaia what the hell#hera's “friendship” or collab with gaia prolly ended here#imagine her finding out her grandmother almost gave her daughter to her assaulter... someone needs to make a fic#hera#gaia#hebe#greek mythology#i need hera's righteous anger#just imagine the angst potential. you've just got out of a war after your most hated stepson shot your assaulter#you find out moments later that the person responsible used your stepdaughters as bait for those fools. whatever. you don't care#it is not until you hear your attacker (ugly unlovable creature) speak angrily in his dying breath#saying he demands the bride his mother promised#hebe he says#your beloved daughter's name on his disgusting lips#you take a step back before stabbing him once. just for extra measure#your heart pounds. it beats so loud with anger that you can't hear anything else#this giant just tried to rape you. and yet your mind is on your little girl#the little girl you just wanted the best for- a pawn in your grandmother's game#you cannot kill the earth itself. you know that your position can only get you so far#but you scream her name anyways.#gaia heeds your call. the inviting smile you used to don on her is gone#all that's left is RAGE

Record of Ragnarok Incorrect Quote #9
Marriage Goals
Brunhilde summoned Wednesday Y/N, who has been a complete nightmare to the Gods, and they want to try and figure out what her ‘deal’ is… by using Ares and Aphrodite to get answers
Ares (After meeting Y/N’s family): You’re family is, very… interesting. You’re parents are so, involved with each other unlike mine
Ares (Scoots a little bit away from Y/N): Y/N, do you think that maybe, some day, you might want to get married and have kids?
Wednesday Y/N: No
Aphrodite (Shoves Ares away): But what if you met just the right man who worshipped and adored you. Who’d do anything for you, who’d be your devoted slave. Then what would you do?
Wednesday Y/N: I’d pity him
Loki and Shiva (Snort and begin to laugh their asses off):
Hermes (Trying to stifle a small laugh):
The Gods are both terrified by this Human Child and entertained by her antics… Who wants to her her Sibling-like Relationship with the Human Fighters? Along with the Gods?
#Record of Ragnarok Incorrect Quote#RoR Ares#ror aphrodite#RoR Shiva#RoR Loki#ror hermes#Adam adores his daughter#Mainly because she scares all the boys away by herself#Mama Eve loves her too#Cain and Able are both Pugsley#Adam and Eve remind Y/N about her Parents#I’m too lazy to put in more tags

why does every percabeth fanfic make piper into annabeth's hot girl friend who helps her with fashion and makeup............ piper does not give a fuck about fashion or makeup and she dresses like a rustic grandpa on purpose. like what
#not to be too harsh but I think a lot of people don't pay attention to anything piper says or does#and the only thing they retain about her character is “daughter of aphrodite” so that automatically makes her the Hot Fashion Girlie#thus making her the perfect accessory to clueless annabeth who needs the romcom makeover#currently reading a fic where piper is annabeth's fashion model bff#piper???? the girl who hates drawing attention to herself and being judged for her looks? a fashion model???????#she's not the focus of the story but it's like Wow. can u explain that choice because I don't understand#heavily considering whether or not to exclude works from the dgp collection over side character writing#I don't really want to but like man. it's so jarring#probably won't. but it really takes me out of the story#baye.txt#pjo

| @redvenante cont.
“ awh, c'mon, can't blame a girl for wanting to read up on her new boss. especially someone as infamous as the red hood. apparently you're like super dangerous. a murderer even ! ” she feigns shock with a hand clutching her chest and an overdramatic gasp. “ there you go again; flirting with me. ” the hood of her cloak has been pushed back to reveal a half covered face and perfectly slicked hair pulled into a ponytail. “ you're gonna have to do something about your little crush. ”
“ right. ” piercing white eyes roll at his macho grand standing, resisting the urge to laugh at the stereotypical response. “ feelings make you stupid, weak. blah blah blah. i've heard it all before from big, tough guys like you [...] the minute you catch feelings you're dead. ” the last bit is spoken in a gruff, deep mechanical voice. it was jason's own altered one.
#unfortunately jason you are talking to a daughter of aphrodite#she ain't ever gonna thing feelings are a bad thing#redvenante#in chara.
