#smite achilles

[takethisjunglebuff]

I drew a number of these comics consecutively, as well as some art in the same style.

Good times. Will post some of this series separately because I’m still proud of them.

Hey! I was wondering if you could do a web weave for absolutely despising your sibling too? My brother is a monster and the world will be a better place once he's dead. Thank you!

and what can i tell you my brother, my killer?

Saw your opinion about that Achilles

But search "Achilles smite" and tell me what you think, especially the skins "soul piercer Achilles", "Revenant Achilles" and "Tiger's fury Achilles" (the last one is the furry version of Achilles)

I'll admit that I spent way too long looking at the pictures and watching videos on youtube about it haha, I mean I love the default Achilles skin honestly!!

Like, he's buff, he's pretty, he's golden, what's not to love. Of course the armour is not period accurate or anything lol but it's a nice sort of fantasy game version of Achilles and I think they did a great job with the design. Not a fan of the personality though, from the videos I saw he's just your regular boastful champion but I didn't really expect anything different. He def looks great though!!

The other skins are also amazing??? Like

I'm actually obsessed with these. OBSESSED they're so cool, demon Achilles is something that hasn't really crossed my mind before but oh boy am I getting ideas now 👀 I think the first one (soul piercer) is my favourite, just look at those horns 👀👀

Also-- excuse me, FURRY Achilles? 😳 don't mind if I do

I'm kind of disappointed that he's a tiger and not a lion, but I love it all the same 😩👌 He deserves all the tummy rubs

Sing in me, O Muses, the rage of Achilles.

[sherpafrankiefreddiesteviegeorge]

No, I don't think you understand how upset I am that the twenty Christians I was with over 4th of July did not bother to notice the manly, dramatic, and beautiful cover & title of the book I was reading (it was Song of Achilles btw), to ask me about it at all, to say that's a cool looking book, all so I could say deadpan and straight faced, "Thanks, it's gay."

Idk if you still write for hades but can i request some x reader headcanons with a reader who's very witty, sarcastic, and sassy? Any characters you want is fine, but I'd really love to see Hades, Achilles, and Dionysus!

Your writing is wonderful btw! <3333

Fandom: Hades

Character(s): Achilles, Dionysus, Hades

Note(s): Thank you!!

Achilles

He enjoys someone that can match his wit. He might not be as sarcastic, but it is nice talking to someone that is rather quick with having comebacks. It’s good exercise for the brain.

Achilles can give as much as he takes so just be careful how sassy you act because he won’t let you get away with it. Well, if you look particularly proud about some quip then he might give a, “well played” so he can admire your smile a bit more.

Dionysus

He’s glad that you’re not just a pretty face and you’re rather funny. It keeps him entertained when he’s bored.

Dionysus is rather curious. If you’re this charming while sober, he can’t help but wonder how you speak after a few cups of wine. He won’t force anything, but there’s quite a bit of nudging for you to drink with him.

He is still a god though so while he’s pretty chill, if your sarcasm becomes too much then he will remind you of your place. It doesn’t happen too much, just try not to mock him and it’ll be fine.

Hades

He already deals with his son being a smartass constantly, he doesn’t need you to do the same. Anytime he sees you about to open your mouth to speak, a long, drawn out sigh escapes his lips as if he’s already in anguish. He’s just an overdramatic bitch.

Hades does find your wit amusing in some circumstances, but won’t let you know that. The last thing he needs is for you to turn your sass onto him because you noticed him chuckle at something you said.

Know that if you do sass him enough then he will turn his dry remarks onto you. He makes many threats of kicking you out or smiting you. He won’t, but his exhausted dad energy is evident.

Rock solid! ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’ We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

Non jayvik ask for once but I saw your tags about the Iliad and you're so right truly a sitcom. I started reading the emily wilson translation and I texted my friend within like two pages going "man this is a bunch of drag queens drunk at brunch trying to rip each other's wigs off they're being so petty and catty, meanwhile Achilles is calling his mom in the bathroom to complain that he hates everyone here and to please call Zeus to smite Agamemnon pls thank you mom" and personally I think it's hilarious Athena straight up grabs Achilles hair to hold him back and get him to chill and I legit cackled out loud no one's doing it like homer lol

Guys please read the Iliad it's so fucking funny. The gods are literally just having their equivalent of light hearted family sitcom squabbles and the body count is innumerable. They are having slap fights and civilizations crumble. Hera goes to seduce Zeus to distract him and he starts going "Dammmn Hera you look so good you're even hotter than- *proceeds to list ten other women he's banged*" Hermes watches Hera literally send Artemis crying to Zeus, makes eye contact with Artemis' mom, the Titan goddess Leto, and basically goes: "yeah I'm not gonna try it with you. You can just tell everyone you beat my ass. Zeus has a type of woman he likes, and it's a type I don't wanna get hit by." and he's so real for that Ares is literally just doing his job. Being a war god. On a battlefield. That everyone else is also fighting on. And every time another Olympian flies past him they're going "BOOO YOU SUCK ARES!!!" i felt so bad for him the entire time I was reading it!!! He's supposed to be there! it's a war!! Even Zeus is like "Ares you violent brutish war god get out of my sight before I kick your ass. War gods are the worst. Not you Athena. You're the bestest most wonderful daughter ever I could never stay mad at you." The only time Hades actually shows up instead of just being mentioned, it's when he's basically hitting his ceiling with a broom because his brothers are causing such a ruckus. The Iliad will have pages of heart wrenching tragedy as this war tears apart noble families and loved ones on all sides. It's senseless it's a waste and the story wants you to really feel the tragedy on all fronts. Then a few Olympians zoom by in the background flipping the bird at each other Also I haven't read Emily Wilson's Iliad but oohhmygod I gotta. Her Odyssey translation is the best. Everyone. if you love a bastard man going around being a delightful scamp please read the Odyssey. Everyone is all "Odysseus and Penelope are so in love" but they dont even mention that they're couple goals because they're both such sneaking underhanded bastards that when Odysseus returns he doesn't even reveal himself for a while because BOTH OF THEM are busy lying to each other and testing each other with little manipulative jabs and you really get the feeling that they're an OG version of "they need to be a couple for containment purposes"

Could they ever help me? I know they've tried.

are you afraid of walls

No... maybe... probably not

[11queensupreme11]

So…kinda depressing ask but Demeter’s recent death kind of had me wondering, especially since you mentioned in an ask once LONG ago—so long ago that’s it’s to the point I can’t even find it anymore 😭—that Poseidon wouldn’t kill his siblings just severely mutilate them.

((I’m assuming u totally ditched that when it came to Demeter’s death—which is totally fine cause either way it flows well with ur story and ur description of Poseidon because if Demeter is permanently dead it checks out because she took something from Poseidon that he would never forgive and he would see that as a betrayal which would, in his mind, justify the killing. And if she is still alive (although I don’t see how that could be possible- how can u stay alive when you’ve been…ripped apart 😭😂😅) but living like Adamas then that’s also possible since she is his sister and he’s spared his siblings before (adamas) after mutilating them of course.))

All that to say, it got me wondering. Could and/or would Poseidon or any of the other yans, if they ever became like SUPER (astronomical levels, really) upset with Percy. Result to…killing her? Could they?

yeah demeter is permanently dead, no coming back at all. no revival, no reincarnation, etc. i'm pretty much going the canon route on how deaths are handled! so in ror, when gods die they go to niflhel! same goes with the human souls in the after life (and by that, i mean, after dying in midgar, if they die again in helheim/valhalla, they go to niflhel)

in the ror wiki:

HOWEVER!!! the only difference is that in my fic, gods don't have souls. instead, they're made of divine essence. so for the sake of my fic, when a god dies, their divine essence is destroyed

so yeah, no coming back for demeter or zagreus 😅

as for ur other question.......

the yans absolutely CAN kill percy. ror characters are ridiculously op in terms of physicality, especially the gods cuz i gave them a huge buff. do you guys recall those brief lines i'd type up throughout previous chapters that are always something like "he gripped her arm so hard had it not been for the Curse of Achilles he would've snapped her bones" and stuff like that? yeah i was being fr, these gods can easily crush her to death on ACCIDENT 💀 it's the whole reason i set the story in-between pjo and hoo so she would still have the achilles curse! they're gods who don't interact with humans, they don't know how to be gentle 😭 even a high five could've ripped her hand off or shatter her lmaooo

as for cú chulainn, he's in the same boat (in terms of physicality). since i'm not going with canon (cuz it was too late for me lol), cú chulainn will be the "human with the strength of a god" kind of demigod, like what heracles was pre-ascension. so since he has the strength of a god, he could ALSO kill percy, HOWEVER. unlike the gods, he knows how to actually be careful so he has a lesser chance of actually killing her. the only issue is his ridiculously op gáe bulg which is canonically stated can't be "dodged nor guarded against". if ra and morrigan weren't fast or strong enough to dodge it, there's no damn way percy can 💀 again, the curse of achilles will save her here AS LONG AS SHE KEEPS HER FRONT FACING TOWARDS THE SPIKES. if she has her back to it..... 💀💀💀💀 but i can't see a scenario where he'll ever be so mad he uses that weapon on her.

also there's his freaky 👹goblin mode👹 thing i forgot to mention, but that hasn't been talked about in the manga yet and so far, from the myths, it just makes him more stronger and uncontrollable. if he were to get angry and get into ríastrad then yes, she'll be in a lot of danger 💀

so yes. the yans absolutely CAN kill her, but they won't ever be angry enough to actually want to murder her (excluding beelie's demonic destrudo ofc). the most likely scenario is that they accidentally kill her in a fit of rage. the gods have a higher chance of doing this, cuz they can literally just obliterate her or smite her without needing to even think that much.

Chryses: hello, king Agamemnon, i have brought adequate reverence and offers to you and wish to plead for the safe return of my daughter please.

All of the other kings and generals: Yeah, he brought sufficient offers, you should give her back.

Agamemnon: No. She's my concubine and im sending her back to my palace where i will have her adorn my couch every night, fuck you old man :/

Chryses: -Goes back to the temple of Apollo where he is the priest- pls save my daughter.

Apollo: -Agrees and sets a plague onto the Acheans bc wtf Agamemnon-

----- later -----

Achilles: Hey, the prophet we've had with us since we before we even declared war, the one you supposedly dont like bc of the prophecy he told about Artemis wanting a Sacrifice, says he knows why there is a plague upon us rn.

Agamemnon: fine, he may speak.

The prophet: you will protect me from his anger wont you achilles?

Achilles: sure, he shouldnt get angry with you anyway, ur just the messenger and it was something we fucked up so...

Prophet: ok, well the plague is here bc you wouldnt give back the daughter of Chryses when he asked you nicely and gave you offering, so he asked Apollo to smite you and Apollo agreed you fucked up, so now if you want to fix it you have to give her back, plus reverence to Apollo, and you cannot ask for anything in return :/

Agamemnon: THATS BULLSHIT! SHE IS MY PRIZE I WILL NOT LET HER GO!

Achilles: I think you should listen to him, you already have 6x the amount of treasure and war prizes than anyone else, and if you do, then upon the next raid, we shall garauntee 3x what you had recieved this raid.

Agamemnon: actually u kno wat fuck u i'll just take Breseis instead since u wanna take mine away :/

Achilles:....

Achilles: listen here you lazy ass petty bitch, were it not for the goddess Athena holding me back i would run you through with my sword, but she gave me permission to lash at you with my tongue. You have done nothing but order people around and sit on your ass, you have done the least and have gotten the most reward where as i and mine have done the most and get scrap for reward, and the one actual war prize i had recieved fairly you wish to take away bc you want to be petty that a god is forcing you to give back one of dozens of concubines??? That we all agreed you should have gave back and refused, causing this plague in first place.

Agamemnon: U brought this doom singing prophet, that i didnt bother replacing 10 years ago, into the council tent, so, yes.

Achilles: well then fuck u, im about to become the demigod of petty, eat my ass

[katerinaaqu]

Hiii I haven't ask you anything for quite a long time

Can you please tell us about Aëtos, Zeus's eagle?

Hehehe you are always welcome! Aëtos huh? Interesting!

For starters "Aëtos" means "eagle" in Greek. Eagle is the primary symbol of Zeus possibly due to its majestic nature and its power, the fact that it is the apex predator of the heavens, like Zeus is the king of the heavens and it flies very high. Also its nature to dive down to catch prey possibly resembles to Greeks the way the god descends or the way the lightning and thunder strike the earth or legends that associate the bird with immunity to lightning among others.

There are several eagles mentioned in mythology that are associated with Zeus. One of them is the Caucasian Eagle, a bronze bird created by Hephaestus (Hyginus) or son of Echidna and Typhoon (Apollodorus) or of Tartarus and Gaea (Hyginus) that according to the myth he was sent to eat Prometheus's liver every day till it was taken down by Heracles. Another eagle, this time associated with humans was a king named Periphas (Περίφας) a son of Gaea or associated with Gaea who was also a dedicated priest of Apollo. However Zeus got angry that the young king was worshipped almost like a god himself and tried to smite him with a lightning and he was saved the last moment by Apollo who turned him into a bird. According to other myths, Zeus adopts the bird as a sign of good omens and the bird sits by his throne. Basically he saw the bird flying while he was preparing himself for the battle against the Titans (Anacreon, fragment) or that Zeus was making a sacrifice for a good battle against the Titans and there he saw the eagle flying (Hyginus)

Aëtos though seems to be a story of his own. According to writings of roman scholiasts like Maurus Servius Honoratus (yeah the same guy that apparently hates Achilles and speaks about him going mad with lust seeing Troilus XD) mentions the story of Aëtos in his script. He mentions how he was a playmate of Zeus while he was hiding at Crete as he was growing up in secret from his father Cronos. He was said to be a very beautiful young man. Hera found out about his existence and thought that Zeus loved him, thus wishing to smite him. Zeus saved the boy the last moment, transforming it into an eagle/bird and held him by his side as his messenger in that form. Aëtos is also the eagle that according to that tradition is sent by Zeus to snatch Ganymedes and bring him to Olympus to become Zeus's cupbearer (In most versions of the myth Ganymedes is simply snatched by an eagle but apparently Honoratus seems to be naming that eagle as a transformed human)
