#the bar is in the underworld

Love how whenever I find a post talking in defence of Ares, it makes the point that he's one of the few God's not to rape. Which is nearly always followed by a footnote or something in brackets along the lines of: "I know, I know, the bar is in the Underworld here but just bare with me".
#Greek Mythology#Ares#Ares God Of War#Greek Gods#Ares Greek God#Ares Greek Mythology#I've seen:#The bar is on the floor#The bar is in tartarus#the bar is in the underworld#the bar is in the earth's core#and just in general a lot of very creative variations#of just how low the bar is.

The greek myth inaccuracies in kaos are actually brilliant if you know how to have fun and can appreciate the impeccable rapunzelxmavis im lesbo meme vibes they have going on. It is about time someone brought the spirit of those 2010s videos where people would edit disney princesses from different films interacting and being friends to a greek mythology adaptation and I for one am glad it resulted in me watching old men have sex
#kaos#like why would prometheus and charon be interacting why would polyphemus be running a bar with the fates#idk but im loving it#Ive been known to beat adaptations to death over innacuracies but when theyre fun inaccuracies i dont care#like if its a direct retelling of greek myths and u randomly change a bunch of details and characters it woukld be like why#but if its a whole new thing with mythological elements its funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn#like omg underworld medusa pop off

the implication in Trial by Magic that the Triad paid for Cole to go through law school instead of forging documents and doing some underhanded stuff to make him an assistant DA is frankly hilarious
#you’re telling me that man went through three years of law school and probably passed the bar just so he could get close#to the charmed ones and take them down????#objectively hilarious#imagine balthezor source of the underworld an unstoppable force for evil studying for finals#this show is really good sometimes#skipps watches stuff#charmed

Flowers floating in the dark void au
Dick, working:
Wally, warping his arms around Dick's neck: my love, it's 2am, please come to bed soon I miss you.
Dick: can't, the grind don't stop.
Wally, sighs, plucked his pen and threw it out the window into the river, grabbed his arms as his flowers in his hair wilt: we sleep, you are too over work and I want cuddles, do I have to tell your father off for you, because I will.
Dick, never had anyone who cares about his well-being for, speechless:
At night, Wally curled up with Dick, flowers in hair closed up.
Dick, to himself: is this what being loved feels like?
#birdflash#dick grayson#wally west#flowers floating in the dark void au#hades! dick#Persephone! wally#i will post one more for this au tonight just got dishes to do#Dick the bar is in the underworld WHICH YOU RUN BOI#that pen is gone rip

Re-aliving?
When I was coming up with my long-fic idea, I originally had a version that STARTED with Jason being resurrected...
(CW for coughing up blood and anti-life matter goop under the cut! Coming back to life is not always pretty.)
Jason’s first breath is a gasp. He immediately rips his hand from Nico’s grasp, reaching to his own throat and grabbing at it desperately as he coughs and gags and spits up a not-insignificant amount of blood.
Nico, unfortunately now familiar to the affects of re-aliving people, doesn’t react initially. Until the panicked squawk Will makes reminds him he should be concerned.
“What’s wrong with him?!” Will shouts, wrapping his hands over Jason’s around his neck and glowing lightly as he searches Jason’s body for the issue. He must come up with nothing, because he looks more bewildered than before he connected himself to Jason’s central nervous system.
“He’s rebooting. It’ll be over in a second,” Nico squats next to where Jason has fallen to his knees, groaning, and rubs his back like Jason’s vomiting from a hangover and not spitting anti-life matter onto the crusty wood floor in the back-rooms of an abandoned underground gay club. The setting feels right. Nico gets the feeling someone has done exactly this in exactly this spot at least once before.
“I’m just going to--” Will closes his eyes and glows a little brighter, pouring some general healing magic into Jason’s body. It must to do something because Jason’s groaning quiets to a dull hiccup.
“What--?” Jason croaks out, throat dry and unused. He looks up towards Will’s voice, but he misses the mark just enough that it’s clear he can’t actually see, gaze just left of Will’s face.
“Jason. Welcome back to being alive,” Nico pats his back, considering throwing up jazz hands but Jason wouldn’t see them so the joke would be lost. “If you ever self-sacrifice again I’ll come down to get you from the Underworld just to kill you myself.” He declares, letting the hurt and anger and fear from the last few weeks seep into his voice. They’re not out of the woods yet, so to speak, so he doesn’t let himself feel Jason being back. But almost. Soon. His threat must land, because even Will shivers at the words.
“I believe you,” Jason wheezes out. “Why… why can’t I see?”
“How much do you remember about after you died?”
#If you see some of these paragraphs being used later in my fic... no you didnt XD#There's an entrance to the underworld in an abandoned gay bar#I won't budge on that

Unenlightened: The Knight of the Dawn and Princess Leia were both perfect analogues for both Aurora's parents and the Aurora and Prince Philip from the 1959 Sleeping Beauty movie relationship wise.
Enlightened: The Knight of Dawn and Princess Leia had a relationship superficially like the stereotypical fairy tale couple, but actually married/make it seem like their relationship was romantic out of convenience and to spite Henrik so Leah could secure her right to the throne and eventually fell in love along the way/did still have Silver and loved him but didn't love one another like that.
Ascended: The Knight of the Dawn and Princess Leia were in a fake relationship but one was either Ace/also batted for their own team and fake dated mostly so Leah could get suitors off her back, on occasion they were one another's wingman/woman.
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland meme#kinda#twisted wonderland knight of the dawn#the knight of the dawn#twisted wonderland Princess Leia#I know it's highly unlikely#but I think it would be really funny in hindsight#and a fun twist to the usual fairy tale trope as twisted wonderland likes to do#with people being analogues and walking similar roads to their og counterparts but never quite aligning due to different circumstances#I personally think that since we didn't get much on Leia (which might actually be on purpose) that we can do a lot with her#and personally I think it would be interesting if her and Dawn were closer relationship wise to Lily Orlamunde and Duke Randolph#from the Holy Grail of Eris or Kaeyena and Raffaello from The Villainess is a Marionette#than the usual fairy tale couple. I mean she likely was the first in succession unlike Henrik for a reason#I mean the bar is down in the Underworld for that. But I like to think it's because she was more capable alongside being know for her beaut#might just be me#I have way too many thoughts on TKoD and Leia#I also think that maybe the reason Henrik knew he could get Dawn to fight by threathening Leia is less because she was vulnerable#but because since Henrik is a rank above Dawn he techinically could raise enough of a fuss to separate them#And that could put Leia in a VERY unfavorable position in the future alongside taking one of the few things TKoD truly has#Might just be the sleep deprived thoughts tho I dunno

...I just realized. Reva and Masana.
#no bc hear me out: if reva stays in the underworld and either becomes a bounty hunter or does stuff there#and masana drowns her empathy in substances#but she can sense reva in the force from across the bar. she's a scared and angry kid and she needs guidance#(and she's bleeding her intent into the force and she'll get caught by the inquisitors like that and masana has to help)#and masana doesn't feel like much of a jedi. not anymore. but the kid needs structure#(and frankly. masana does too)#it's a very messy dynamic that I don't know if I could classify as master-padawan (after all. masana's improved bladework#was a product of the inquisitorius—she doesn't have that here)#but she helps reva get a grip on her emotions. sense the force. and she knows this kid has natural fighting talent#and helps her the best she can#star dorks#inquisitorius tag#reverse allegiances au

I know we are in the guillotine the monarchy site, but the thing is, Charles III underperforms even at the level of nobility in general. This guy's grandparents and mother stayed in London during the Blitz. At "London's worst hour" they were there. So, sure, Elizabeth II had a coronation ceremony at a time where the economy of Britain was not doing very peachy. But the royal family and even she herself had, you know, invested in danger to reap sympathy and popularity. But Charles' public image has been dominated by his selfish inability to really sacrifice ANYTHING of his personal pleasure, and that before you compare and contrast with his direct ancestors. He has one job, and I don't think someone else could do it more poorly if they were trying that way. Hard.
#like look at Juan Carlos of Spain#guy abdicated in favor of his son#his popularity and overall evaluation of his reign skyrocketed just by that gesture#(something like 40% pre to +60% post)#and we are talking of a man that did some pretty big scandalous things#mostly money matters you know#and noping out of Spain to more or less evade justice#the bar is a tripping hazard in the underworld

As Seen on TV: Speakeasies and Jazz (NYC Nightlife places that YOU can VISIT!)
White Collar: (Season 4, Episode 13)
The episode is called “Empire City”. “Neal and Peter investigate Mozzie's claims of taxi cab forgery and money laundering which leads back to a jazz club owner”. Also, Diana goes undercover in the establishment to catch the culprit. She wore a memorable costume of a cigar girl. The Cotton Club is a pillar in NYC’s culture and history during the Prohibition and Roaring 20s era. First and foremost, it is a jazz night club that has live music, food, and cigars. Many celebrities attended the nightclub like Joe DiMaggio and Duke Ellington. The Cotton Club is still open today and taking bookings/reservations.

Castle: (Season 3, Episode 10)
The episode is called “Last Call”. “The death of a bar owner takes Castle and Beckett back in time to the prohibition era.” The speakeasy in the episode is called “The Old Haunt” which doesn’t exist in NYC. From the episode, Castle and Beckett find an unknown tunnel which leads to a stash of rare liquor. But there are many secret speakeasies that are in plain sight around NYC. “Nothing Really Matters” is a bar/lounge under the 50st Downtown 1 subway station. The entrance of the speakeasy is very inconspicuous. Another speakeasy that is in disguise is “UES”, the front of the store is an ice cream shop but when the server asks a patron about the “storage room” and a secret door covered with ice cream pints will open. A patron can enter a bar that serves unique cocktails.
