I wrote up these prayers for some prayer beads! These are the twelve olympians + Hestia, and some gods that I personally wanted to honor as well. Feel free to pick 'n' choose and modify these how you want, but I thought that I'd would share thems as a community resource, regardless! ^-^

Hail To The Blessed Gods!

From quick-witted Hermes with his fast feet,

To wise Athena and her infallible spear,

Far-seeing Apollo with his knack for prophecy,

Far-shooting Artemis and her impeccable aim,

Jolly Dionysus with his ever-charming smile,

Lovely Aphrodite with her sweet face,

Passionate Ares and his fearsome gaze,

Hardworking Hephaestus and his trusty hammer,

Bountiful Demeter and her fruitful gardens,

Mighty Poseidon with his earth-shaking hands,

Warm Hestia with her tender touch,

Brilliant Queen Hera and her faithful heart,

Noble King Zeus with his lightning stricken eyes.

I praise thee, Blessed Immortals!

May the skies echo with songs of your glory! 💛

Is Apollo a god? We know those born of Rhea and Kronos are gods, as are their offspring. Yet, we never learn what makes them a god. Why should the Titan king and his queen not bear a titan? Is there a special divinity running through the gods. Did Apollo lose it since being shunned from the heavens? Did he gain it back when he rejoined his brethren? Or did he take the divinity within, and create something knew? Is Apollo a god or something more? Something new. We may never know, as The Tyrant King hides his weakness behind a facade of invulnerability.

From what I can find, the whole "God vs. Titan" distinction is based purely on what generation the divine being hails from, with any from Zeus's, Demeter's, Hades', Hera's, Hestia's, and Poseidon's generation and later being called "gods" while the ones before that are called "Titans". There does not appear to be any qualitative difference between the two.

The Anemoi (click the link to see the separate Winds)

THE ANEMOI were the gods of the four winds--namely Boreas the North-Wind, Zephryos (Zephyrus) the West, Notos (Notus) the South, and Euros (Eurus) the East. Each of these was associated with a season--Boreas was the cold breath of winter, Zephyros the god of spring breezes, and Notos the god of summer rain-storms.

The Winds were portrayed as either man-shaped, winged gods who lived together in a cavern on Mount Haimos (Haemus) in Thrake (Thrace), or as horse-shaped divinities stabled by Aiolos (Aeolus) Hippotades, "the Reiner of Horses", on the island of Aiolia and set out to graze on the shores of the earth-encircling River Okeanos (Oceanus).

Early poets, such as Homer and Hesiod, drew a clear distinction between the four, relatively benign, seasonal Winds (Anemoi) and the destructive Storm-Winds (Anemoi Thuellai). The latter, spawned by the monster Typhoeus, were either housed in the caverns of Aiolos or guarded by the Hekatonkheires in the pits of Tartaros. Later authors blurred the distinction between the two.

The female counterparts of the Anemoi were the Aellai Harpyiai (Harpies). Mated with the Winds they produced many swift, immortal horses.

All hail the new queen... - 17 (Hades Original Story)

You fought your way through the maze of the underworld to make a deal with the King…intrigued the lonely king listens…

Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six Part Seven Part Eight Part Nine Part Ten Part Eleven Part TwelvePart Thirteen Part Fourteen Part Fifteen Part Sixteen

After doing a quick run around and saying hello to everyone, helping your mom dice some tomatoes, you quickly made your way back to the garage. Hades had given you such an adorable look of pure ‘please help me’ that you had to make sure he was alright.

You came back out wiping your hands on a dish towel and saw him with a beer in hand talking to the other men of the party. He looked completely different then his normal self, and you didn’t like it. You told him to dress down and he did, but man…you missed his suits. The beer just took it too far…you weren’t even sure if he liked beer…

Everyone seemed intent on his words and it made you wonder if he’d used his godly charm on them. You had asked him not to unless either of you slipped up, but you knew he’d been pretty nervous about this whole situation despite denying it every time you asked him.

You stood there watching him speak with hands a little before everyone laughed aloud. You took the opportunity to walk over and give him an out if he needed one, “Hey, what grand story were you telling this time?”

“Oh, just the one about my brothers, Zack and Phillip, crashed through Zack’s wall wrestling and how Hannah reacted so poorly and then somehow I was wrapped up in the story of how it all started to begin with, so in the end all three of us ended up fixing the wall.” You smirked at him knowing exactly who you were talking about, but had no idea to what incident he was referring to. Thankfully, Hades clued you in, “You cousin Leo, regaled us how your brother and he decided to go swimming and dive off the roof but instead had to fix the chimney when they pulled it down. They asked if I had done anything like that.”

You put your arm around his back like a normal couple would do. You felt him tense only briefly before relaxing into your embrace putting his arm over your shoulders, “I do remember that, Papa was angry. It took them all summer to fix it.”

“It seemed logical that roping the chimney and scaling it would work for two fifteen-year olds.” Leo shrugged as your other cousins punched his arm and ruffled his hair laughing.

“Well gentleman, the ladies are restless and would like to meet my date, can I steal him for a while?” You quirked an eyebrow looking at them all.

“Oh no…Nick, it’s a trap.” Your uncle waved at him to stay, “You won’t come back they’ll rope you into all of their lists.”

The rest of the laughed but didn’t disagree as you laced your fingers with his walking toward the door. Hades set his beer down on a work bench nodding to all of them, “I don’t know, might not be so bad, I’ll get a better portion if I get on the ladies’ good side, right?”

You giggled as you pulled him inside stopping in the entry hallway where they could be alone for a moment. You looked up at him in the small space, “How are you doing?”

You watched him take in a deep breath before he nodded, “Your family is very animated.”

“Yes, as most Greeks are. We love to be expressive, but are you okay?” You squeezed his hand.

“I’m doing alright.” He smiled at you as children ran in from outside pushing you toward him. He grabbed you around the waist pulling you close so you wouldn’t be trampled by the laughing parade.

You stared into his eyes for a moment as heat began to rise on the back of your neck. His eyes were so blue right now as you felt a tingling sensation on your arm, “Sorry…”

“Don’t be…” He whispered keeping you close to him still.

The magnetism you felt in that moment was undeniable and you were disappointed when you heard your aunts calling your name, “Coming!”

You stepped away adjusting your dress a little, smoothing it out before looking back to him, “You might have wanted to keep that drink, ‘cause this is where the fun really begins.”

His eyes widened a little as you brought him through the house. From fear? From panic You would never know as you showed him around as you went. It was an older retro house, and the décor hadn’t really left the 70s, but it was home even with all the strange angles and walls covered in pictures of every generation.

You brought him into the living room were the ladies sat drinks in hand. They all looked up at you as you stood with him. Instantly their eyes widened, and mouths drop openly slightly at the sight of him.

‘Damn straight, and about time.’ You thought to yourself with satisfaction, ‘Now leave me alone you harpies…’

“Everyone, this is Nick.” You smiled putting a hand on Hades arm.

Your mother stood up walking over to him smiling, “I remember you. You were Jonah’s doctor.”

Hades eyes widened in surprise as your mother pulled him into a tight hug, “Oh…uh…yes, I was.”

“I can’t ever repay for what you did for my boy. You gave him back to us.” You could see some tears in her eyes as she kissed his cheek several times.

“I was just doing my job…” He looked down to her before looking over to you, “Actually, it was Y/N, who brought me the case. If she hadn’t, I wouldn’t have done anything.”

You smiled at him as he boasted for you, “Well you made an impression that first visit to the clinic. I had to try everything…”

He reached down taking your hand, “I’m not complaining in the least.”

You mother clapped her hands together suddenly bringing them to her lips kissing them toward Hades, “And now you’re making an honest woman of my daughter.”

“Mama…” You blushed instantly embarrassed by her antics, “people don’t talk like that anymore.”

“Oh hush, I’m your mother.” She smiled at you looking back to Hades, “Nick please come sit down, Y/N, get him a drink.”

“I’m alright…” He looked at you as your mother started dragging him toward the couch. This time he did not let go of your hand like before. He was not going to be left alone again it seemed.

You squeezed his hand following him. You perched yourself on the armrest as he sat next to your mother. She began to grill him on every topic. Profession, childhood, parents, siblings, past relationships, current relationship, future relationship…

You were mortified, but every time Hades answered, he did so beautifully. Every answer was crafted in a way that told the truth while keeping their charade up. He was truly wonderful, and you were going to have to repay him somehow. Especially as he weaved his answer for the last question.

“Well, Ana, I know Y/N and I haven’t been dating more than a few months.” He rested his hand on your knee looking up to you smiling, “But I can honestly say, she has made me a better person. She brings clarity to my decisions that I didn’t know I needed, and I hope that I make her as happy as she makes me.”

You took his hand giving it a squeeze as the room buzzed how he should have been a politician. If they only knew that he was in his own way. If they only knew who they sat with, would they fall down prostrate asking for forgiveness? You doubted it and you didn’t care about what the hens clucked about in that moment. You were just focused on what he said thinking to yourself as you basked in his very presence, “Hades, do you mean it?”

Your eyes widened instantly when you heard his voice in your head as he lifted your hand to his lips kissing your fingers as he stared into your eyes, “Every word.”

Your heart thumped loudly in your ears as heat just burst through body. Your lips parted slightly as your free hand began absently fixing your hair. What was happening to you today? You swore the curse of the Underworld must have followed you here because you felt like your emotions were at eleven on a scale of ten.

“Y/N, you should go introduce Nick to Gigi. She’s in her room. I’m sure she’d welcome a new friend.” Your mother told you as she and a few aunts stood up, “Then come join us in the kitchen to serve everything up.”

“Right, will do.” Hades was to his feet first offering his hand to you. You took it as you licked your lips staring up at him as everyone else moved from the room, “Did…did you…”

He leaned down pressing his mouth to your ear whispering, “Every single word.”

His face came back into view. Not only had he heard you, but you heard him. You chalked it up to being bonded to him for the moment, but the idea that you could do that was…exhilarating and terrifying. What else had he’d heard from you over these few months?

Your face flushed a deep red at all the thoughts he may have heard as you took him down another hall past the kitchen to a length that only held doors. You passed all of them coming the last one that was opened slightly.

You stopped turning to him, “Gigi…she’s gotten sick over the last few years and…well she doesn’t talk anymore, but she’s still knows you’re there. So just…for few minutes we’re going to visit with her. It’s okay to be a little awkward.”

“I understand.” He nodded before following you into a room covered in old Greek runes and a small alter burning incense. You could tell by the way he looked at everything he recognized all the detail Gigi had put into it.

In the center of the room sat your grandmother in a wheelchair. She had a blanket over her lap as she sat a little slumped staring off to where you didn’t know. You hoped someplace happy. It always broke your heart to see her like this.

“Gigi…” He followed you to a small love seat next to her, “I wanted you to meet someone really special to me.”

Her expression and eyes never changed even as you took her hand in yours. You sighed closing your eyes for a moment before looking at him. He gave you a warm smile of encouragement. You knew no one else was down this way to overhear, so you took a deep breath looking back to your grandmother.

“This Hades, Gigi.” You felt him shift next to you as you spoke softly, “He saved Jonah’s life and in exchange I…I’ve become his consort... I wouldn’t have been able to believe in him, if it wasn’t for you.”

You looked at Hades who stared at you surprised for a moment before looking to your grandmother, “…hello…Gigi…”

You giggled a little, “I know it’s a little strange, but I know she can hear us even if she can’t respond.”

“It’s not that…Hold on.” He stood up looking out into the hall before he shut the door. He turned back to you taking off his jacket tossing it to the couch and began rolling up his sleeves.

“What are you doing?” You looked at him worried.

“The faith in this room is something I haven’t felt in a long time, and she believes in all of us. I can hear her right now. She says that dress looks very flattering.” You stared at him eyes wide as he knelt down in front of her, “It’s so uncommon, that I believe it’s time she be rewarded for her diligence in this changing world.”

Looking into Gigi’s eyes before he smiled he spoke with such attention you felt a lump in your throat, “Kyra, can you hear me?”

You watched as your Gigi blinked once. Hades reached out taking both of her hands holding them to his face as he gently placed his forehead against hers. Gigi’s eyes shut and you watched them both carefully in the still room.

Finally, you saw a tear roll down her face as Hades smiled again. Worry filled your chest, you trusted him, but you weren’t ready to say goodbye to her yet, “Hades…”

“It’s okay.” He whispered reaching out taking your hand instinctively. A blinding flash filled your vision and suddenly you were in a wide-open field. You looked around confused until you felt a pair of familiar hands grab your shoulders. You looked back seeing Hades, “Welcome to Elysium.”

He pointed out away from them. You followed his direction and saw a couple standing near a tree. They were locked in each other’s gaze. The young man held the woman’s face in his hands as he smiled. They were so happy…so in love…

“She missed him so much…but she said she’s not ready to be here yet.” Hades spoke softly to you helping you calm down, “It wasn’t hard to find Atticus though, their love is strong and even in death he stays true to her.”

Your hands went to your mouth as tears came to your eyes until you finally spoke, “That’s…”

“Yes…” He nodded coming to stand by your side taking your hand in his, “That’s your grandfather, your Papa.”

“You did this for her.” You looked up at him tears falling down your face, “Hades…thank you…thank you so much…She…I…”

He brought his hands up to your face brushing away your tears. You never felt so safe, so cherished, “No crying. I did this because I know how much she means to you. You mean just as much to her.”

You stared into his eyes felling overwhelmed. He cared for you enough to allow this. You knew it probably wasn’t something he often did, or even if it was allowed.

He kissed your forehead before embracing you tightly which only made things worse. You felt so vulnerable around him sometimes and today around your family…and then this…how you were you supposed to not cry?

“Y/N?” A familiar voice without its normal rasp touched your ears, “Is that really my little bird?”

You looked over as your Papa and Gigi walked up. They looked so young, just like many of their pictures of being in Greece. You nodded wiping the tears away as Hades released you, “Papa?”

“I know I look a little different…” He laughed but threw open his arms and you ran forward as he hugged you tightly, “But I still know how to hug my favorite grand daughter…Gigi, told me what you did for your family. Silly girl…always running in with your heart on your sleeve.”

“Shush…you’ll insult him.” Gigi slapped his arm and you couldn’t help but laugh as he winced away still holding you, “Forgive him Lord Hades…”

“He isn’t wrong.” Hades smiled stepping closer to you when you let go, “She did just that, ran into my temple, heart out, with no care for herself, and I accepted it.”

“Gigi…” You looked at her so young and vibrant. You choked up feeling emotions you didn’t know you still harbored. Your grandmother was the only one who listened to you and understood, “I…”

“Oh dear.” She reached forward pulling you to herself, “I am so proud of you. So, so proud. We all are, though I know you don’t hear it enough. Always outshined, but I see you even if I can’t say anything, I want you to remember that. I love you.”

“And I am always thinking of you. All of you.” Your grandfather touched your shoulder looking over to Hades, “I think it’s time for you to go sir…”

You looked over to Hades seeing sweat dripping down his forehead as he smiled shaking his head, “Take your time.”

“Sir, I know the laws and you may be able to bend them as this is your domain but living souls shouldn’t be here.” Atticus looked to Kyra, “I miss you so much…but I will be here when you’re ready.”

Kyra stepped up to him kissing him. It was enough to get you crying again as you stepped back to Hades. He took your hand and whispered, “Shut your eyes…”

You obeyed feeling a cool breeze brush against your skin until the familiar smell of your grandmother’s incense filled your senses. You opened your eyes seeing a sweating Hades staring into your Gigi’s eyes a smile firmly planted on her face as he spoke softly, “Thank you, Kyra…”

You sat concerned and confused as he placed her hands back in her lap. He leaned back sitting on the floor running a hand through his hair. You checked on Gigi first wiping the tears from her face before you sat on the floor in front of Hades, “Are you okay?”

“I’ll be fine.” He smiled at you taking in a deep breath in, “Your grandfather was right, I shouldn’t have done that, but for one so devoted how could I not.”

“Hades…I…” You stared at him unable to find the words to express how much this meant to you.

He shook his head as he kept smile, “It’s okay…I’d do it again just smile for me the way you did there.”

You felt a whirlwind of emotions beating against your chest as you sat there with him. Unable to contain it any longer you leaned forward kissing him. You felt him fall back a little catching himself with one arm as the other landed on your side.

You expected him to pull away from you as your hands landed on his chest. To finally remember that you were a mortal and that he wanted nothing to do with you in that manner. That you were just a companion like you had originally agreed to be. Not his consort. Not his wife… just Y/N.

But he didn’t. His lips moved against yours as he pushed back gaining his balancing. His other hand found your neck keeping you were you desired to be until he was done with you. At which point he rested his forehead against yours nudging his nose with his, “Is it too early to go home now?”

You laughed a little shaking your head, “Don’t tease me.”

“I would never.” He whispered against your jaw before he sighed, “But this is a conversation for another time…”

Licking his lips, he helped right yourself and you both stood up in front of your Gigi. You blushed clearing your throat, “I’m so sorry, Gigi…”

Hades reached down touching Gigi’s hand, “She says it’s the most entertainment she’s had in a while.”

You laughed again before leaning down kissing her cheek, knowing that is exactly how she would have responded, “I love you, I’ll come visit more alright? Maybe even drag him a long with me.”

“I won’t mind.” Hades told you as he put his jacket back on.

You stepped out into the hall with him slowly walking back down toward the kitchen. You swallowed looking at your hands, “Well…we…”

He stopped you putting a hand arm and pushed your chin up to make you look at him. He smiled a little before leaning capturing your lips for a second time. You trembled as you reached out grabbing onto his jacket as you pressed on to your toes to push into the kiss.

He parted away from you again brushing your hair back into place for you. His eyes were bright like stars in the sky as he spoke, “You taste like sunshine and I just want to bask in it.”

You swallowed nodding dumbly in a haze from the last fifteen minutes of events. He took your hand in his kissing your finger as he led you down the hall to everyone. He very calmly told them that he was being called away for work. You said your goodbyes promising to not be such a stranger.

You stepped into the car looking back at the house seeing your father stepping down the driveway. You felt a tightness in your chest as he smiled and waved at you as you backed out of the driveway. He blew you a kiss like he always did and of course you caught it putting your fist to your heart.

Hades looked at you as he drove off taking your other hand in his, “Everything alright?”

You kept your hand to your heart nodding slowly, before looking to him with a smile, “Yeah…everything’s good…”

World Building Wednesday!~ Etherium

🌼 I decided to share one of my AU worlds that is not Fell based. Yes... I know... what is the world coming to? Etherium in essence is my stab at an Outertale based universe though the story and the designs are very different. I really enjoy this one though I don’t talk about it too much. Let’s get started!

Etherium AU

Classification: Outertale Alternate “Nicknames” Info:

Sans: Nova- Nova is the trickster though he is mostly associated with that of Loki. Loki is described specifically as “Playful, malicious ( ok maybe not that one), helpful, and nihilistic.” He helps others in a kind of goofy over the top way. He just doesn’t take much seriously. Nova is one of the youngest. He acts very childish at times coming to question how long he has been among the pantheon. Some argue his many centuries gave him a nihilistic outlook on life or that he is too young to understand the true ways of the world.

Not to say that Nova can’t be serious but he is pretty laid back. It’s one of the reasons unlike the others he doesn’t really keep his cultural ties in his design. He should have more Norse in it but nah… varsity jackets are cozy right? I mean he is wearing star shorts for stars sake. When asked about his job he mentions, “Hey, there kiddo. Nice of ya to drop by. Been up to? Heh well got a “new” job which is pretty cool. Not as cool as Pollux but I help arrange stars. Ya know, like the ones you see in the sky you can make pictures out of? I think you humans call em… constellations. One time I made this giant whoopee cushion one. “Then I lost ma job. Got a second chance though. Andromeda's constantly watchin me. hehe no harm done though.” Both Pollux and Nova refer to each other as brothers but it is unclear if they are biologically related. Their abilities and strengths are nearly opposite and their mythos even more so.

Papyrus: Pollux- The presumed older brother of Nova. Pollux is associated with Egyptology specifically wisdom. Pollux tends to be the opposite of Nova in that he takes his job very seriously. Once on earth he was known as Thoth gracing humanity with a mechanical and architectural knowledge that astounded the world. His mind and intellect put him at the forefront of innovation making him one of Capricorn's best and most trusted advisors.

He enjoys testing the mental prowess of others using puzzles and riddles of his own design. Unlike canon Pap Pollux cares more about balance in life. Something his younger brother seems to lack. Not all work and not all play. He is kind, helpful, and willing to give advice to anyone that is looking for it. To the little human Frisk he is a good mentor and teacher. (Pollux has made it his pastime to create a series of challenges to prove a humans worth. If they pass then they are able to speak/ see them. No one has managed to prove themselves.)

(more characters and info below the cut)

Undyne: Andromeda- Andromeda is not different from canon Undyne as she embodies the Mayan mythology. She is mostly closely associated with the feathered serpent Quetzalcóatl. A deity of wind and rain. Also known as the life giver. Though Andromeda tends to harken back to her more aggressive roots she has a deep respect for the King and acts as his guard. Just like Pollux she too acts as an advisor, though more on matters of security than strategy or mechanics. Such a position is where she first met Elara and to this day the two are inseparable sharing their very different cultures. Her favorite kind of anime to watch are mech based.

Alphys: Elara- Very similar to canon Alphys just as this version of Undyne is. Alphys is based off of Sukuna-Biko-Na (少名毘古那) or the shinto god of medicine and rain. Elara is still very much a scientist and one that has a unique fascination with living things. Everything from the planets, to humans, animals, and plant life. She particularly enjoys spending time in her private greenhouse creating and taking care of all of the plant life. Before the monsters were forced to leave their place among the humans she was able to collect all the DNA of the plants and animals on the planet.

They are stored in a kind of ark in which to preserve them if anything threatens their existence. Elara is very traditional in her work as her medicines are derived from her magic as well as herbal substances. She is very curious however as she is not allowed to interact with the progress of humanity but rather watches from afar. This is where her love of anime takes hold. Her favorites are ones like Sailor Moon or any type of magical girl anime. She will sit with Andromeda and watch them for hours. Her demeanor is very shy at first but once she opens up she will be a friend for life.

Asgore: Capricorn- The head of the cosmic pantheon he is the King as he is in the original. He is associated with Celtic mythos though he has taken on many pantheon roles in his lifetime. Ambisagrus, a god of thunder and lightning, Ancestor God, Sky God, God of Wind, Rain & Hail is what he is based off of. One such role is that of Zeus who’s main symbol is that of lightning and thunder. Just like the Zeus of mythology Capricorn is constantly debating his involvement with humanity.

Whether that be to stop their technological advances or aiding in their lives. A large portion of his time was spent with his subjects not so much his wife Aurora who is the jealous type. Capricorn is not a ruthless leader but he does know that sometimes hard decisions must be made. Just like UT Asgore he is kind and benevolent, however, he has a temper if you make him angry enough. His magical abilities lean more toward lighting then fire but he has that ability as well. He tasked Elara to watch over human development should a problem arise.

Toriel: Aurora- The Queen to Capricorn she is known to be easily jealous. It would explain why Zeus wife Hera also shares these traits. Her Gaelic deity tie is that of Arianrhod a goddess of the moon and stars. She creates life from the stars she creates sometimes causing them to take a form of their own. They are almost like living constellations. Some say that the Queen made such life to combat her own loneliness which her Son and Husband spent time away. In addition to the stars she is also known for being a loving mother and caregiver. In her time on earth she used to watch over and protect children and their families. Aurora though previously jealous of her simple in the universe has come to accept and embrace it. She is kind but rather over protective. Anyone that forsakes life will feel her wrath.

Muffet: Umbra- Umbra is associated with Hindu mythology as a goddess of wealth and prosperity. Though earthly riches do not concern Umbra she still has a taste for the fine silks and gold that she once had on earth. A little about the goddess that she represents: Lakshmi's name comes from the Sanskrit word laksya, meaning an aim or goal. She is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual. Unlike UT Muffet, Umbra also focuses on a spiritual wealth. A peace of mind.

She is ever the optimist even when things do not turn out to go her way. In times of need she is called those in the struggles of self worth trying to bring them into a different understanding. There have been many a time when Umbra calms Capricorns quick and rash judgements, much to Auroras displeasure. Just as with the rest of the pantheon she is kind and helpful even with her yearning to return to the people she so loved before they were forced to the outskirts of the galaxy.

Grillby: Helio- Helio derived from sun is my OT Grillby. He out of all the characters could care less about either being a deity or an observer. He is known to be at a middle ground. He would rather live his days running a social establishment but during his time on earth he was known for his magic. Originally he was the right hand of Capricorn being depicted as a war deity for his fiery nature. He was the general of grand armies. His armor is something he hung up long ago but if called into court he will wear it once again. It’s design is very reminiscent of Roman centurions.

Though depictions of him are curious since his name back then was referred to as Merlin. He was best known for him magic and alchemy and the concoctions he made during a period of time far lacking in imagination. Just like Nova, Helio, tended to interfere far too often in the affairs of man though noble in purpose. He tends to be outcast among the pantheon for his past conduct but he is content in his lab mixing crazy concoctions. Everything from love potions to disguises. His forte is all about alchemy and magic.

Asriel: Azicree (Azi)- Azicree or Azi for short is the Crown Prince. By monster standards Azi is still very young, however, he has lived for far longer than any human can fathom. His mother used to shelter him until he begged for his father to let him prove himself. He still acts like a child always curious and desiring some form of exploration. Much to Capricorns dismay Azi enjoys spending time with Nova and the two become pranksters in general. He tends to not do as he is told, which is why they are in this mess in the first place. His reckless behavior had him appearing to a human that begged for his salvation.

The matters of life and death are ones that are not to be messed with. Those that do find their souls being tainted for all eternity turning them into something other than just a monster. 9X is an example of such tampering. Azi does learn his lesson and begins to try and shape up to be a worthy successor to his father if such a thing ever did come to pass. He studies off of all those he knows especially Pollux who is more than happy to share such knowledge. His associations are non existent since he was born after the times of gods. His abilities seem to be mimic based.

He is able to learn about abilities and use them at will. It is rare that monsters have children and as such Azi is the little prodigy child even though there are many times he just wants to be a kid. He makes friends with Frisk very quickly and learn a lot from the human visitor.

Gaster: Nero is the Gaster of this universe. He is Capricorns pantheon counterpart. In essence the Hades to his Zeus. He is the monster that everyone thinks about when darkness takes hold. He is the one that associates with apocalyptic events such as ragnarok. He is however not evil by any stretch of the imagination. He would be better suited to be called a god of chaos. He tends to reject the laws placed upon the rest of the pantheon regardless of repercussions.

It’s speculated that both Pollux and Nova were a part of him and crafted into the monsters that are known today. Nova being his more devious side which Pollux is more his intellect and drive. He has been locked away for a very long time in a prison aptly named Tarturus. His abilities are space and time oriented very similar to Nova which makes him difficult to imprison. He of course has been in his cell for quite some time and it is unclear if he actually has had a change of heart or using it as a manipulation tactic.

The only one he speaks with on occasion is Azi wanting to learn more about this planet they all used to call home. It is information that the others tend to not speak of. His father more so as he is afraid it will instill a yearning in his son. Nero’s genius is on par with his godly abilities such as creating artificial intelligence. Something that is not considered life. He uses Azi as a template for this new program...

FLOWEY:

F- Friendly

L- Life-like

O- Operating system

W- With

E- Earthbound

Y- Yearning

F.L.O.W.E.Y was created by 9x and Nova with Azi as a template. He is a charismatic AI who was originally created as a helper as well as to teach the Prince about their planet of origin. Unfortunately Flowey does not have the same reservations about disobeying his father as Azi does. Even going so far as to integrate with key and vital systems in The Capital. He even manages to intercept a human vessel that he finds exploring. Flowey is not evil he just is driven to be the best help he can without regards to any type of consequences. He helps Frisk meet and learn more about their existence. He acts as a companion.

However when Frisk becomes friends with Azi Flowey's AI goes haywire. He begins to feel emotions he is not technically allowed to such as jealousy. This causes him to try and eliminate those threatening him which in this case would be all the monsters. Eventually Azi attempts to program himself into the interface changing it’s initial programming.

Blookie: Nebula

Riverperson: Omni

Gerson: Quasar

The Ursas: Ursa Major/Minor

Greater Dog/ Lesser Dog: Canis Major/Minor

MTT: Gigabit

Character Origin/Mythos:

Sans- Norse (Trickster) Papyrus- Egyptian Undyne- Mayan Alphys- Japanese (shinto) Asgore- Celtic Toriel- Celtic Muffet- Hindu Grillby- Medieval (Merlin) Asriel- Celtic through lineage Gaster- Greek/Roman Blookie- Western Guard dogs- Constellations (Native American) Riverperson- Greek (Charon) Gerson- Chinese (Divination/ wisdom)

Background and Context:

A long time ago there lived beings of great power. They could bend space and time with a simple thought and bring life to their creations. These were the gods. Ones of great benevolence but also great and terrifying power. Humanity, a primitive race just starting to understand life itself, became their focus. At first their interaction was very rare only occasionally appearing to help but as time went on those interactions became more drastic. Their assistance and knowledge was seen as godlike to this humans.

They would bring gifts and offerings to their new deities in hopes that they would look favorably upon them. That they would impart their wisdom and magic if they were pleased. In time this became more and more tradition. A religion built upon pleasing these deities so that their lives would be far improved but this became a conundrum for the beings. Some remained benevolent and helpful while others becomes greedy and wrathful. The power began to go to their minds corrupting their souls. These instances were written down in variation by the humans making up grandiose stories of fiery chariots and jealous gods. Thus mythology came into being for humanity. A way to explain the things in which they did not understand.

As with each religion and deity the monsters each became associated with a specific culture or mythos. Some being pinnacles of their pantheon and others being lesser deities molded to suit a specific task. These monsters rarely interacted with ones of their own kind but as power shifted some of them took on roles of others. One monster could have been the god of war in Greek mythos but end up also as the god of thunder in Norse. There were no limitations to their influence. One such “deity” was that of the trickster. A monster that tended to be rather childish in his ambitions jumping from pantheon to pantheon looking to lighten up his other “deities” stern demeanors.

The monsters began to pull away leaving their presences in name only and occasional help but this was short lived. It caused problems, war, destruction, and feuding powers sadly began to use their civilizations as almost pawns. Their meddling almost destroyed that which they wanted to originally protect. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The “gods” faded from existence only being remembered in myths and legends. The great prophecy of the Norse. The architectural marvels of the Egyptians. Now they reside in the furthest reaches of the galaxy. They spread out among the stars but a group of them resided in a Capital of sorts. A station at the edge of the Universe. One which no human could ever reach.

The Humans Impressions:

When the monsters left the humans to their own devices they worship continued long after. Eventually the magic and the miracles that had once been performed faded into history. The monsters were all but forgotten unless mentioned in mythology or scary stories. The humans never harbored any animosity toward them since they no longer believed in their existence in any form. They only understand what their ancestors depicted them as. The monsters as well don’t really have anything against humans either. All in all, they just go about their jobs and enjoy the universe, helping from time to time discreetly if need be but never showing their faces.

Main Plot Synop:

The plot to Outertale is very simple as it is more based around the world than it is the actual plot. It is very similar to that of the regular UT timeline with some notable differences. Once the humans reach an age of technological advancement they begin to spread out and search the stars. Some of them encounter monsters which they mistake for aliens (hilarious enough. I mean Jerry looks like an alien.) They begin to build colonies living more and more outside the reach of their own galaxy. Humans however tend to turn on their own creating factions within the space colonies. Some more prosperous than others.

Frisk’s colony was one such beast being cut off from the other colonies as a drifter. Unfortunately Frisk’s family was nearly non existent and being stuck on a space colony was little to be desired. After seeing a streak of fire slamming into the outskirts of the colony. Frisk decides to investigate. They have always been the curious type disobeying orders and questioning everything. The colonies outer and more dangerous regions became their playground finding old pieces of technology. Eventually they stumble upon a crashed ship. One that It seems to damaged to be used but it’s nothing like they have ever seen before. Everyone else on the colony consider it to be cursed.

The strange runic language is confusing but Frisk finds that there is one lone computer onboard that seems to still function. It flickers with a bright yellow light showing an almost pixelated Flower with a =) face on the screen. Over the next few days Frisk returns to decipher the runes with the help of their new friend which they find out is called Flowey. It is a project that the curious human enjoys and for once it is nice to have a friend. Eventually the runes are deciphered claiming some sort teleportation capability. Once Frisk is close enough the system fires up on its own sending the human straight to the monster Capital on the farthest reaches of the universe. A place that no human has ever been.

The rest of the story is an exploration of this new environment. Frisk befriends the monsters who don’t attack first. They actually mostly want to engage with the human showing off their ability a little bit. A part of them misses the previous worship. Nova seems to take a particular interest in this new human especially when they befriend Azi. They work to help shut Flowey down only for Azi to impart his knowledge on the interface helping it understand. Frisk has nothing to return to so they stay with the monster and become Azi’s human tutor so that one day maybe the monsters can return and live side by side the humans once again. Both Azi and Frisk are almost like siblings coined the star children.

10 Anti LO Asks

1. ok im sorry you cannot post that thanatos and daphne panel and not tell me that isnt just hxp with hades painted a different color. thats like insulting bad in how lazy the art as become. also thats not how a kiss works, where did his mouth go?

2. i dont care if an artist draws their characters nude and w/ greek gods its kinda expected but its a purposely put in design feature and characterization and plot point in LO that persephone is barely legal with her age always being emphasized, is constantly sexualized without her knowledge esp by hades, and looks so young w/ several times of her just being naked while possible being a minor. like no wonder people get creeped out by LO even at first glance, that IS weird no matter how you cut it.

3. webtoon creators making nsfw work of their comics is not an issue lmao the problem in rachel's case is most of it is overwhelming about persephone being submissive and confused and even having hades call her a "little girl" and having it as the logo??? like if its behind a paywall thats one thing, but just cutting off the lower part and having it in print where kids can see it and disguising the context is disgusting. its not right, but i can see why some have some concerns about RS's character.

4. i know if it happens it wont be for awhile but god, the webtoons batman comic they put up is already up LO's butt and steadily climbing. If it actually pushes LO off it's top spot i'll be so happy. Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need. (PS its a good comic too, go read it even if you're not a DC fan!)

5. the LO porn rachel made wasnt even good lmao like a lot of was just uncomfortable to look at bc only hades seemed to be enjoying it and the other half just seemed traced from actual tumblr porn gifs so it just looked even weirder with her cartoon faces, like it was just weird? anyway congrats to rachel to somehow making even 4chan think she's gross. they literally invented bronies and even think that is weird.

6. I went to check out the reviews for the LO book preorder and they're all so funny to me because it's just so fake????? Tell me who the hell would call this story a delicacy. I'm not joking. One of the reviews literally calls it that.

I hate it. Anyway. Punderworld volume 1 is available to buy so buy that instead of LO y'all

7. fr the more i learn about the most popular creators on webtoons (not just rachel but ppl like the ladies behind lets play and age matters and basically all of the romance genre) the more im convinced being a straight white lady rots your brain. yall stay safe out there because none of you will be seeing the gates of heaven ✋🏾😷

-----FP Spoilers-----

8. Making Themis pregnant made lo and mythology timline dont much up, bc themis was one of zeus's first wife(i think second) but bc their kids were looking undesireble he break up with her, but didnt mistreat her like metis, but he gave her this job as a law goddes, and later marry hera. So if she is pregnant and she have only kids with zeus this would mean that he and hera would be couple for not too long, but their kids are older and in flashbacks it was shown that hera was his first choice.

9. The reason actually Law gods/goddesses are gone is cause reasonable people with any kind of morals will be against Persephone. Even if they're getting paid by the richest guy in the world to defend her. Only those who have not only drank the HXP Kool aid, but have downed an entire bowl of it through a funnel like a sorority girl at a frat party will be allowed to defend her. As is right of course. No contrary opinions about HXP are allowed in LO, lest you be labeled a villain by our Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss Queen and her Mansplain Manipulate Manwhore King. All Hail HXP. #Asspollo

10. um im sorry, even ignoring how dumb of an excuse "maternity leave" is bc shes a goddess why would they need time off, but like??? you really mean to tell me it wouldnt be badass to show a working mom bring her baby to work to defeat zeus at this own game??? like wouldnt that be actually feminist and show the power of women?? rachel sucks so bad at being "progressive".

From OP, not anon: Themis is currently pregnant.

Quote

God of the golden bow, And of the golden lyre, And of the golden hair, And of the golden fire, Charioteer Of the patient year, Where — where slept thine ire, When like a blank idiot I put on thy wreath, Thy laurel, thy glory, The light of thy story, Or was I a worm — too low crawling, for death? O Delphic Apollo! The Thunderer grasp’d and grasp’d, The Thunderer frown’d and frown’d; The eagle’s feathery mane For wrath became stiffen’d — the sound Of breeding thunder Went drowsily under, Muttering to be unbound. O why didst thou pity, and for a worm Why touch thy soft lute Till the thunder was mute, Why was not I crush’d — such a pitiful germ? O Delphic Apollo! The Pleiades were up, Watching the silent air; The seeds and roots in the Earth Were swelling for summer fare; The Ocean, its neighbour, Was at its old labour, When, who — who did dare To tie, like a madman, thy plant round his brow, And grin and look proudly, And blaspheme so loudly, And live for that honour, to stoop to thee now? O Delphic Apollo!

LO Hogwarts Houses: The Royal Family

I have been wondering what hogwarts house would each character in LO would be sorted into. The problem is there are so many characters and some of these choices require more explaination that others that I am separating this blog into several parts. The first part is focusing on the royal family of Olympus aka Zeus's family. Excluding Hephaetus as he avoids his family and Ares as I thought he deserved to be on section focused on his partner Aphrodite, his son Eros and his future daughter in law Psyche. Also included Poseidon as he is Zeus's brother also he has not interacted with any one else. Let's begin.

⚡⚡Zeus: Gryffindor⚡⚡

He is not Slytherin as Slytherin are cunning and Zeus has zero brain cells. He is brash and bold all screams Gryffindor. Zeus acts without thinking of the consequences. Sounds like a Gryffindor to me. Zeus is has the worst qualities of the Gryffindor dialed up to 100. Also while Sytherin are known for being prideful, but frankly so are Gryffindors. Zeus is like James Potter during the Hogwarts days except James Potter at least grew up to a respectable person. He is also easily manipulated by flattery which Slytherins could easily see through. Also he lacks any ambition which makes sense he is already king of the gods. There is nobody higher than him. Zeus is loved by mortals. The fact that Gryffindor's symbol is a lion is fitting for Zeus. People call lions the king of the jungle although lions don't live in the jungle they live on the Savannah. They are glorified despite the fact the female lions do all the work. Lions also like to roar to show their dominance just like Zeus using lightening. I could go on forever, but let's move onto the Queen of Mt Olympus, Hera.

🐍🐍Hera: Slytherin🐍🐍

I repeat Slytherins are not evil, they just know what they want and how to get. Ambitious, prideful and can see through Zeus. She is also cunning being able to trick others when she was disguised as Persephone. Her cunning is also seen in how she sees through all the tricks her husbands uses to hide things such as his mistresses from her. She is also willing to get her hands dirty to get what she wants. Enough said Hera is Slytherin at its best. All hail the Queen she is truely a Slytherin we can look up too.

👑👑Hebe: Ravenclaw👑👑

Hebe maybe young, but she is already wise beyound her years. Able to see the truth such as her uncle Hades' loneliness or her parents toxic relationship. Hebe may have yet to show any blinding knowledge. That may be due to her age. Hufflepuff maybe known for their emotions, but Hebe is too pragmatic for that house. She also is not as rash as a Gryffindor. Hebe maybe cunning like her mom, but never uses it for own gain. This screams Ravenclaw, the girl can even quote her parents in an arguement. For a child so wise it make sense she is a Ravenclaw. It is also why she and her mom are so tight. Ravenclaws and Slytherins are two of kind and together are scary masterminds. She also has the natural regalness associated with the house as she also well put together.

🌊🌊Poseidon: Hufflepuff🌊🌊

Last up is the brother who has not gotten much scream time, ruler of the seas Poseidon. Poseidon is easily a Hufflepuff. Life of the party and random as ever. Like any good Hufflepuff goes with the flow avoiding the drama and just enjoys life. He also likes to cook like any good Hufflepuff. Poseideon is loyal and supportive of his loved ones, thus is the quintessential Hufflepuff.

I hope you enjoyed with Part 1 of this series and comeback when explore Eros's family placement in Hogwarts.

Love and War - The Makings Of This Story.

DON’T READ THIS UNLESS YOU’VE FINISHED LOVE AND WAR!!!

HUUUUUGE **SPOILERS** BELOW!!!

Love and War’s Masterlist can be found HERE.

But anywho, this is for anyone who is interested. It is a behind the scenes look into this series and what makes it up. There is break downs of all the characters names and who they each represented. Plus an insight into the real story of Aphrodite: the Goddess of Love, Ares: the God of War, and Hephaestus: the God of Fire, Craftsmanship, Blacksmiths and Volcanoes. Along with all the other Gods and Goddess’ that played a hand in their story.

The Main Characters.

Y/N - Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty.

Steve/Alarick - Ares, the God of War.

The name Alarick means: Noble Leader or a Wolf ruler, Fierce, Supreme ruler of all.

Bucky/Harlin - Hermes the God of Trade, Thieves and Travellers. And many other things.

The name Harlin means: Noble Friend and Noble Warrior.

Natasha/Premala/Dabria - Peitho is the Goddess of Persuasion, Seduction and Charming Speech. But also Aphrodites handmaiden and attendant, and the wife of Hermes.

The name Premala means: A loving and caring person.

The name Dabria means: An angel of death.

Alexander Pierce/Hepha - Hephaestus the God of Fire, Craftsmanship, Blacksmiths and Volcanoes. Plus a few other things, but honestly who cares haha.

The name Hepha was just shortened from the original name, due entirely to it just being easier to pronounce. And the fact finding a shitty name to give him that started with H was impossible.

It never ended up coming up, but I always envisioned Alexander Pierce as Hepha in my head. So there is some insight into that for you all.

Brock/Charandas - Cedalion is Hephaestus’ servant.

The name Charandas means: Servant or one who serves his master.

Joesph/Athos - Zeus the King of the Gods and the God of the Sky, Lightening and Thunder.

The name Athos means: It’s actually another name for Zeus. So, fun fact there!

Sarah/Hypatia - Hera the Queen of the Gods and the Goddess of Marriage and Birth.

The name Hypatia means: A supreme woman.

Carol Danvers/Amaris - Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt, the Forest and Hills, and the Moon.

The name Amaris means: ‘child of the moon’ or ‘given by God’.

Once again, Carol’s name never came to light in the story, but she is who I envisioned as Amaris.

The Three Graces - Attendants to Aphrodite.

Pepper/Aalin - Aglaia represents Elegance, Brightness and Splendour.

The name Aalin means: Beautiful, calm, fair, graceful and serene.

Hilde/Tyarra - Thalia represents Youth, Beauty and Good Cheer.

The name Tyarra means: A young, tender and attractive person.

Hope/Edden - Euphrosyne represents Mirth and Joyfulness.

The name Edden means: Delight, Joy and the one who has great ambition and strength.

Peggy Carter/Aasira - Athena the Goddess of War. I was originally going to give her a larger part in this story and make her Peggy in the mortal plane, but decided against that plan half way through writing this story. Though I would still like to address the name change from Athena to Aasira.

The name Aasira means: Brave, strong and a powerful fighter who can conquer and imprison enemies.

Peggy also never came to light in the story. But she started off as Aasira in my head.

The other names in this story:

Thor/Thorfinn.

The name Thorfinn means: Strength of a Thunder.

Loki/Uruloki.

The name Uruloki means: Fire breathing dragon. (hahaha. So there’s that.)

Sam/Samuel.

The name Samuel means: It was told by the God.

Tony/Anthony.

The name Anthony means: They are unique and a priceless flower. (So that is super fitting for Tony.)

Clint/Clinttun.

The name Clinttun means: One who hails from the highland estate. (Or in my mind, someone who is up high, which is also fitting here. Sort of.)

And finally Scott aka Scott. Which yeah, there is no meaning here. Sooo just go with it.

The Story Behind the Story.

This series is based loosely on actual Greek mythology, and some of the tales surrounding Aphrodite, Ares, and Hephaestus. But also some myths around Hermes, Peitho, The 3 Graces, Cedalion, Zeus, Hera and Athena. Some of the tales are from The Odyssey, The Iliad, and a few from more recent works.

The parts that I stuck to are:

- Hermes and Peitho are married.

- Hephaestus imprisoned Hera in a golden throne to force Zeus to give him Aphrodites hand in marriage. But Zeus also wanted to marry Aphrodite off quickly to prevent the other Gods from fighting over her.

- Peitho and The 3 Graces/Charites are Aphrodite’s attendants and closes advisers.

- Ares and Hermes are the closes Gods can be to best friends. Supposedly.

- Hephaestus is the God of Craftsmanship, and Volcanoes. Hence why I choose for him to trap her under a Volcano. Did I mention that? Shit. I hope so.

- Zeus and Hera are the parents of Ares.

- Zeus isn’t fond of Aphrodites disreputable and promiscuous ways. Though he isn’t really one to talk what with his own insanely promiscuous ways, soooo.

- Ares and Aphrodite have a long standing love affair, which goes behind Hephaestus’ back. And he does find out about it.

- Hephaestus is rumoured to have a bad leg, which he was either born with or Zeus made lame by force. Either or.

- Aphrodite does actually attempt to trick Hephaestus into believing that Athena is in love with him, in an attempt to get out of marrying him. However, Athena is rumoured to have never loved anyone, and after Hephastus nearly rapes her, does he finally realize Aphrodite had actually tricked him.

- Aphrodite does in fact hate Hephaestus, meaning she definitely doesn’t love him.

- Cedalion is actually Hephaestus’ attendant.

- Mytikas is actually the highest peak of Olympus, where it is believed the Gods reside.

- It is believed the Artemis was the Goddess that created Lycans. She also went by the name Selene, who is believed to be the mother of all Werewolves and Lycans, alike.

The parts that I altered are:

- In some accounts Aphrodite and Hephaestus are actually supposed to be the married ones. And in others, Hephaestus is married to another, and Aphrodite is the unmarried concert of Ares. So I sort of pulled from both.

- The fact everyone is related and sleeping together, yeah, I altered that fact for sure.

- Aphrodite basically being the worst of them all, and sleeping with damn near every God on Olympus. Get it girl.

- Obviously Hephaestus doesn’t trap Aphrodite under a Valcano for thousands of years. But he does lay a trap for Ares and her once he learns they are having an affair behind his back. The trap catches both of them in the act, and then Hephaestus brings all the Gods in to humiliate them both as revenge. That’s sort of where my inspiration came from. Sort of.

Lycan Vs Werewolf.

As for why I chose Lycans instead of Werewolves, the answer is quite simple really. Werewolves were believed to be created by witchcraft, whereas Lycans were created by the Gods. And as I knew all along that Artemis’ character would create the Lycan army for Ari, it all stood to reason that I’d pick them to be Lycans over Werewolves. Plus Lycans are believed to be stronger, faster, smarter and harder to kill. So that worked in my favour as well.
