I’m running another sale because my dog is coughing and I want to bring him in ASAP but we just don’t have money for a vet bill. If you can help by sharing that would be appreciated.
i stand by that a better, more sensible, and more intriguing plot for TSATS would have been, instead of retconning literally everything:
Bob is dead (because he was very explicitly absorbed/killed by Tartarus Himself in House of Hades, alongside Damasen), and nobody is going into Tartarus to save him. He made his sacrifice and is gone. However. Remember how the Titans, including Bob, were just kind of kicking around for several years? Particularly. On a cruise ship full of mortals. And Bob happened to be kicking around in general for an extra year versus all the other Titans. And he mythologically sometimes has a mortal demigod son who partook in the Calydonian Boar Hunt (Dryas of Calydon). Yeah.
So turns out, Bob/Iapetus leaves behind a demigod (demititan?) child. And because Nico was pretty much his only friend, he named Nico his child's godfather. And while he's not being left in charge of the child, as a son of Hades and godfather to this kid, Nico is duty-bound to fulfill Bob's last will and go find this like 2 year old to make sure they're safe. So Nico has to undertake this very unusual quest (that raises many questions, such as "demititans are a thing?" and "DOES THIS MEAN THERE'S POTENTIALLY MORE-?!" and "SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS?") and is kind of freaking out because. He's the son of Hades! He's notoriously bad with living things, and animals, and definitely small children! Even if he does find this kid and assure they're safe, he is the last person who should be undergoing any kind of quest involving even potentially having to babysit. Fortunately, his boyfriend is the human embodiment of sunshine and calmness and good vibes, and also once helped a nymph give birth, so he feels Marginally More Confident in theoretical demititan babysitting and offers to come along on this Epic Journey of Figuring Out What In Hades' Name Is Up With This Demititan Baby Business.
Proceed with wholesome epic shenanigans quest of Nico and Will scurrying around trying to locate this random OP baby while Nico has an existential crisis about the nature of his powers because he doesn't want to let Bob down! Both for Hades Kid Honor Reasons and because Bob was his friend! But what if he's destined to fail this quest just because of who he is? Because he's simply not built for hanging out with the living/mortals? And Will reassuring him that He Will Probably Not Traumatize The Weird OP Titan Baby And It'll Be Fine, and simultaneously getting a peek into the weird other life Nico leads hanging out with immortals much more than the average demigod, which Nico considers his norm. Bonus shenanigans of both of them getting caught off-guard and culture shocked from where each other's respective worlds (Nico's mostly-immortal versus Will's mostly-mortal) cross over and learning to navigate those for each other - Nico finally starting to make some mortal connections and get glimpses at modern mortal American life, and Will trying not to get his brain literally incinerated while Nico's happily casually catching up with some of his old friends who happen to be literal gods.
You will remember her name - but her face is fading quickly, her laugh, it’s all billowing away like so much smoke. You remember hearing her parents scream. You remember the smell in the air, a prank gone wrong on a girl down the road, it can’t be connected, right ? Who are you remembering? There was never a girl there, right? Was there a house? Your head hurts. Your lungs hurt. It’s too hot for memories today. You remember smoke. Who are you trying to remember? It’s gone now, right?
I'm so torn on what direction I want to take Hex and Ghost Roaster's relationship.
On the one hand, I really do like the two of them finding common ground and being best friends because they give off completely different vibes but I'm equally fascinated with the idea that they both don't like each other, with Hex viewing Ghost Roaster with utter revulsion while Ghost Roaster is gritting his teeth and saying "Wow Hex so you turned a different shade of blue after travelling into the Land of the Undead, that must've been really fucking hard for you! I'm crying my eyes out just thinking about how hard you have it!".
Afternoon Naff! I am here again because spooky season is around the corner and has me thinking of your Cryptid Sightings again. May have some art on the way for you, too. Am I good to tag you in it if I post?
Oh ho, of course! I always loved being tagged in fanart!!
