Prime @ Lucifer

"Forgive me if this question was already asked, but is there any particular reason why you have the form of a Mew? I would assume the Ruler of the Underworld would want to look large and intimidating to any who try to defy him. Or is it that you wish to lull them into a false sense of safety...?"

Why should I pretend to be anything but what I am? Or should be, anyway, if not for that cloud of noxious smog!! It's not like a Mew cannot be intimidating. One does not need to be large to be frightening. I'm larger than average as it is! I need no more than that.

Round 1: Poll 14

*Please Read*

I advise everyone to read each contestant's story to get a well-rounded understanding of each entry. I urge you to not just vote for the one "you know best". I have everyone's stories/reasons why they should win under the cut.

(Remember, this poll includes relationships from The Trials of Apollo)

PROPAGANDA:

Tatiana Nikolaevna

(*Not the real Tatiana, only the one mentioned in The Trials of Apollo)

What's The Love Story?

In ToA, Apollo mentions how Tatiana was really stressed out during the Russian Revolution and how much she needed him during that time <3

Why Should They Win?

...RA RA RASPUTIN LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN-

okay maybe not the queen but the pun was too good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sinope

What's The Love Story?

Apollo fell in love with Sinope and she made him promise her a gift. She asked him to remain a virgin and he respected her wishes.

Why Should They Win?

Paris: It's easy to be mean about Paris. 'Ohh, he started the Trojan War,' 'ohh he should have known kidnapping Helen was a bad idea' 'what a fucking idiot' but do you know him? Do you know what was happening? Imagine you're a random farmer, best known for making cows fight each other and giving Ares a prize for beating your cows despite him arguably cheating. Three goddesses come up to you and offer great prizes -- prowess in battle, dominion over Europe and Asia, the most beautiful woman in the world -- if you pick them as the fairest of them all. Do you think it would have gone any better if he'd picked Athena or Hera? What do you want from this poor candy-ass of a man?

Sinope: Reviews are mixed on this girl. She was either the mother of Syrus by Apollo, or she tricked Zeus into letting her be a virgin forever. It's difficult to find information or images for her, so instead enjoy this scenic landscape of the settlement that bears her name. Ace icon, would rather be left alone -- she tricked Halys and Apollo the same way.

Sinope

Etérea sombra de blanca seda, caminando en silencio junto al mar, al caer tus lagrimas no distingues, tu triste llanto del agua con sal.

Pálido recuerdo sin nombre ni fecha, que añora un ayer ahora fallecido. Cuentas tus noches en soledad, y sientes que el tiempo se ha detenido,

Refúgiate en la noche sin almas, y busca un susurro en el silencio. Mas los espejos que te acompañan, observan y callan sin hacer aprecio.

La Luna tu compañera y amiga, va y viene como un desaparecido no hay tregua para la diosa herida, que ansía lo que nunca ha tenido.

have to say that it's extremely funny to imagine diogenes of sinope saying I've Had Enough and just. holding his breath until he died. truly the epitome of if it sucks hit da bricks

[distortionmewtwo]

Okay so.... I know I've been sorta dead. I'm sorry, life has been weird- thank you to who sent gala asks, I loved them all, even if I couldn't answer them! I hope to continue the story soon! I know I left you guys on a big cliffhanger haha,,,,

To make up for my silence, I have two characters I want you to meet!

This is Sinope, the origin Mew~

And this is Morning Glory! As to who she is.... I'll leave you to guess ;3c

Considering that Hera loves Thetis and Asteria for refusing to sleep with Zeus I bet she loves Sinope too.

„Soon after this they stepped on to Assyrian territory, where Zeus had settled Sinope, the daughter of Asopos, and had granted her perpetual virginity, after he had been deceived by his own promises. He desired to make love to her, and promised to give her whatever her heart desired; she then cunningly asked that he allow her to remain a virgin. In this same way she also fooled Apollo who wanted to sleep with her and after them also the river Halys.” - Apollonios of Rhodes, Argonautica

Round 2: Poll 7

*Please Read*

I advise everyone to read each contestant's story to get a well-rounded understanding of each entry. I urge you to not just vote for the one "you know best". I have everyone's stories/reasons why they should win under the cut.

Propaganda:

Ourea

What's The Love Story?

Ourea is a nymph, and daughter of Poseidon! When Apollo and Poseidon were in Laomedon's service in Troy, she and Apollo got together. They had a son named after Troy, Ileus, who Apollo loved very much.

Why Should They Win?

All I can think about is Ourea skipping to the walls of Troy each day to flirt with Apollo in front of her dad lmao

Kids?

Ileus! :3

Sinope

What's The Love Story?

Apollo fell in love with Sinope and she made him promise her a gift. She asked him to remain a virgin and he respected her wishes.

All that effort to get Alcibiades to help her, and Helen still hasn't made it home. Queen of Sparta, still lost somewhere in the Asian peninsula -- at the very least, she's found someone who can help her. Someone who looks suspicious to say the least, tasting the static in the air around her. Helen looks at the bow in this woman's hand, and frowns. She knows that one all too well.

Sinope really would rather be left alone. She doesn't need this, doesn't need to be poked around and told what to do. The woman in front of her reeks of lightning and Zeus-blood, and she's not so foolish as to trust someone born from the sky-god to have her best interests at heart.
