@megatraven (there’s some proofreading but forgive me if some stuff is off or doesn’t make sense exactly. It’s 3 AM rn and I really wanna post this lol)

EDIT: Also, I didn’t see that you answered my ask about Meg and Hercules, so I’m sorry that some info is off😭.

Hercules and MC Friendship AU part 1: Hercules’s Songs.

Okay my song breakdown is of 2 covers of a song called, “Love me, love me, love me,” and they’re English covers of a Japanese song. Here is the cover by LittleJayneyCakes and here’s the other by JubyPhonic, which I will be using the lyrics from. I’ll be switching back and forth (since some lyrics I like from one and then some I like from the other) to make them fit the theme, and I’ll make sure to say where they come from :).

Anyways, after looking at the comments, you learn that this isn’t a yandere song (tho it sounds a lot like it), and is instead about golden child syndrome. The syndrome where a child will do anything it takes to get love from their parent(s). It’s shown in the lyrics such as:

(JubyPhonic): “I’m doing so well have you heard? You see, you see, I’m such a good girl! Cute as a button you heard.”

But sometimes it edges into a dangerous line, where the person is getting hurt.

JubyPhonic: “You see, you see, so good this girl. In pain I scream you see?!”

And then I’ll switch the JayneyCakes’s lyrics at that some moment which is: “Hey, hey, lovely just like me. Aren’t I the cutest of all? Hey, hey, I’m good, aren’t I? If you say no I’ll cry!” The doubt and the NEED to KNOW if they’re doing good just hits and proves the point more.

And then Jubyphonic’s “Aishite” (which is the original Japanese line at this point) is instead, “Love me I say,” while JayneyCakes is “Love me I beg,” which I feel FITS SO GOOD.

Jubyphonic: “Love me I say, love me I say, love me I say, more and more! Love me I say, love me away! Until I’m not completely sane.” I used to hear this line as “Love me you say,” which is like the parent is telling the kid to love them, which I feel could also fit, but “love me I say,” is what she actually sings.

JayneyCakes: “Love me I beg! Love me I beg! Love me I beg! More and more! And love me I beg! Love me I BEG! Till we feel madness creeping in.” (Highly recommend listening so you can hear the pure emotion in her voice and how hard it hits)

Now, how does this fit with Hercules and MC? Well, I listen to this song and I hear Hercules so heavy in it. Like, you could say it fits Alex (since they do so much to please their mother and Olympus in general), but this song is to an even higher degree than what Alex does, just like Hercules is. I cannot remember too much about Hercules, but from what I remember the reason he’s taking the auras is because Zeus promised him he’d be able to become a full god (Top Tier I believe) if he collected a certain amount of Aura’s.

I see him going above and beyond because he even stole Meg’s who, I believe, was Hercules’s love at the time. He’s stealing auras and doing whatever it takes to please his father and other Olympians, and he’s definitely been doing this for years and years. Probably since he was born. We see how demigods are treated on Olympus, such as Zeus calling Deukalion’s human side a “weakness”, and we definitely know that belief plays a part in Hercules’ life and how he acts. I’m so certain he’s been told his human side is a weakness ALL his life, definitely in the old days. And I feel like a part of him hates him, which I imagine from these lyrics following the previous:

LittleJayneyCakes: “Its agony, it’s agony, this curse I bear. Undo it, undo it, hey!” But he’s gotten so used to it that he can’t be stopped. “It can’t be stopped now, no, AAAAH!!”

And Hercules has gotten so used to it that he doesn’t think twice about stealing the auras. Just like the lyrics from LittleJayneyCakes. He changes over time, growing older with each century and Millenia.

LittleJayneyCakes: “Time goes on, time goes on, changes come to your frame, but the collar stays the same.” He’s so used to it. “It’s agonizing now, but this is nothing new. People just, people just, they’re not enough!”

The “collar” its mentioning is metaphorical that is sung about in the beginning, only mentioned about finding a collar and tying it around their neck and it becoming tighter and “blinding” their vision (in both versions with diff lyrics). I didn’t mention it because I wanted to jump right into it, but the collar is metaphorical. To me, the collar symbolizes the control the parent has and how it’s grown tighter.

Zeus’s control on Hercules, and even other divine beings, has changed over time and definitely become harsher.

JubyPhonics (the same time where JayneyCakes was at): “Grow as you may like a sweet summers day, but this collar will stay just the same. I’m hurting and bleed, I need more to feed. Get people, more people the choker would scream!”

This is where I was secondly hit the most with Hercules thoughts, with both lyrics but here’s both that follow immediately after the previous (with JayneyCakes REALLY hitting the Hercules feeling):

JubyPhonic: “I am the best in my class they attest, I’m a girl far above all the rest. From better than Rose, to better than all you. People, oh people, look only at me!”

JayneyCakes: “I vow to not lose to anyone in my class, aren’t I such a lovely child? (Hey). From more than that child! To more than that child! Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round, marvel at me!”

He’s doing all this to get everyone to look at him and give him validation. To give him love and for him to PROVE himself through anything. No matter what it takes. Even if it means he loses things he cares for. I can’t remember too much about our guy Hercules (since I can’t bring myself to watch Hydra’s route all over again rn tho I love him) but I can bet he’s lost a lot in his life too, since he’s followed everyone rules and guidance, even when it is bad. These lyrics both hit me, so I can’t really choose. They’re both just SO great, at least in these lines:

Jubyphonic: “Meeting alone in the yard, from me to you confessing my heart. Was it a lie from the start? To say I love you from afar, as filthy a creature you are!”

JayneyCakes: “Behind the gymnasium, when I told you that I was in love. Wasn’t that kind of a lie? I love you so, so very much, even though I think that you’re TRASH!

This feels like the Olympians (especially Zeus) giving him attention and validation, but still letting him know his human side is a weakness. They love him, but see him as weak (filthy creature) and not worth it (trash).

And then the golden child syndrome shows heavily here. Especially in Juby’s side. He’s willing to do whatever it takes and it’s plainly stated.

Jubyphonic: “Love me I say, love me I say, love me I say, take what you want of me. Taking from me, taking from me! All that I have and all that I keep!” And then Olympus’s POV: “Screaming for more. You’re not enough! Screaming for more. I couldn’t give you up, Ah!”

And then a big part that I can’t really decide who it’s coming from, since I see these songs as a conversation almost. Is this Olympus apologizing to him? Or Hercules apologizing to who he’s hurt? And may hurt in the future?

Jubyphonic: “I am just so sorry!” And then it goes into the “Love me I say,” and such, BUT adds the part, “Love me away, until I’m not completely sane! Torturing me, strangling me, torturing me. More and more, more and more, ahh!!” I see this as the collar continuing to tighten and tighten, until:

“Aren’t I so happy today?”

BUT JayneyCakes side hurts too (this is the part where Juby is all “taking from me”): “Love me I beg, love me I beg, love me I beg, I’ll give you everything. But in return, but in return! I’ll make you share this hatred I bear. It’s not enough, YOU’RE not enough, just not enough! But I won’t let you go, ahhh!!! I’m sorry about this!” And then travels back into the “love me I beg” from the beginning, but instead of Juby’s final lyrics they say:

“Love me I beg! Till we feel madness creeping in. It’s agony- I won’t let go- it’s agony. Strangle me, strangle me, hey!!” And then the part that feels so Hercules to me, something I bet he wonders:

“Isn’t this happiness?”

And then she screams. She screams!!! JUST AH!! It hits so good. These lyrics feel like such a Hercules song because I believe he’s doing so much of his fathers bidding bc he wants to become a top tier god. The people who are seen as ‘important’ in Olympus and who have respect from everyone! They’re true gods, no matter what, and that’s how he can become worth it. It’s how he can be seen as ‘perfect’ in his eyes. He wants to see the validation and live, no matter the cost.

Even if it hurts him, terribly so, or others around him. He’ll give whatever it takes, even parts of himself, to Olympus to be seen as worth it. And he’s lived so long that the question, “Isn’t this happiness?” Feels like a genuine question he might ask. He’s lived like this for so long….does he even know any other way? Any other way to live? Or is this it? Taking from others to gain approval, is it the only thing he knows?

That’s my first part of this AU I have involving MC and Hercules friendship. I wanted to break down these 2 covers because these lyrics always hit me as Hercules, AND MC AS WELL!! I’ll explain the MC part later (so this might be a 3 part…..I’m not sure yet) and then how I see their friendship forming and the point of these posts.

I love you Meg!! And I hope I didn’t come off as too sympathetic to Hercules. He’s done some fucked up shit, but a part of me sees a little deeper into it, just like we do with Zeus and Eros and any other insufferable God lol. I hope you enjoy the breakdowns and I highly recommend listening to both! They’re so good and it’s the only way to really hear the emotion and see what I mean! Especially LittleJayneyCakes (she puts her whole life into this cover). If you do, I’d love to hear your thoughts, but if not then that’s okay!!

But I would love to hear your thoughts or rambles or screams (or even disagreements if you have some) about the breakdown and the beginning of my Hercules and MC friendship posts!! Love you💙💙.

this is pretty damn shitty but please be careful about the latest inbox scam message:

(the third image is of the first ask like this I'd gotten, which i deleted upon finding the account to be only 8 hours old at the time so i had to get a screenshot from my email. the third image'sblog has also since been deleted.)

remember to always check the blog sending you asks like this- both of these blogs have only existed for two days. they have the exact same icon, blog title, description, posts reblogged (all about palestine and gaza).

the donation link is to paypal, with no other option that might be more trustworthy or easier to validate like gofundme, no link to any other social media beyond their two-day old tumblr, no photo evidence or names at all.

be wary and be careful, and only donate/reblog posts of verified and confirmed palestinian crowdfunds, such as the ones from this list!

Hnnnn I’m finally heading home and get to take a shower since I worked a lot at fixing my old house hNNNnNN. But I came here for some headcannons (sorry bc Ik I have a fic request somewhere in here-) could you do some kind of sweet AFK MC, Josh, and MCs mom headcannons if you can. Sorry my MCs mom feelings are High™️ recently. Love you Meg🥺❤️💓. And it’s fine if you can’t djwndb

ooo i hope everything went ok!!! :0c (i saw the post about the kitties and i hope theyre ok too ;o;;;)  and u never need to apologize for askin about headcanons and the like, im always taking requests regarding them and fics! >) love u too!!! :)

growing up, mc wanted to be just like her mom AND josh, so she was always trying to help them bake or cook even when she was too short to see over the stovetop

josh and mc would always share the beaters after their mother finished baking something, and josh would let her have the bowl afterwards

the reason why True Love, Delicious Lies is mc’s favorite show is because it’s been running long enough that she and josh would watch it together when they were waiting up for their mom to come home, and, when she did, she’d sit down and watch the rest with them before carrying them to bed (until they got old enough to not fall asleep, anyways)

josh never had much interest in olympus or HERA, really, but mc’s excitement from when their mom would take her to work was always contagious and he loved hearing what she’d found out that day, or hearing about how alex was doing

no matter how tired she might get, their mom always made time for her kids. she was there as much as she could be, and always made sure to plan special outings or set aside some time to just Be with them

she’d plan trips every now and again to the zoo, and she’d invite alex and aphrodite along, although usually aphrodite was too busy to stay the whole time. mc liked trying to feed the wild birds, and was Always on the lookout for any new baby animals born at the zoo

sometimes she’d bring them out on a picnic in the park, and they’d play something like tag or just sit together and talk and she’d ask them all about how school was going and tease mc for any crushes she might have and theyd all laugh together

they went camping, once or twice, just the three of them. none were very good at it, but sitting out under the stars that they normally couldnt see, telling silly and scary stories to one another, making smores... it was always a great time!

and oh gosh i bet they made so many silly home videos. like, their mom would be recording and sneak up to mc’s room, open the door a crack and see her dancing. or she’d go to josh’s and find him trying to eat the Worst sandwich she’s ever seen because he’s in his experimenting phase. and there are so many birthday videos, of course, because there’s no way she wouldn’t be recording those

speaking of birthdays- those were always so, so special. their mom had a special recipe she used only twice a year- for each of their birthdays. she wrote it down at mc’s request one year, and then her and josh surprised their mom with a cake of their own on her birthday. they didn’t do a whole lot for their birthdays, but they were together, no work, no school, just them. 

i like to think that their mom also had this sweet way of brushing the hair away from their foreheads. it was unique in that it came from her, made them feel safe and like everything in the world would be okay. she always knew how to comfort her kids, and they always, always knew that they could go to her for anything.

while mc got the deer plush from her mom, josh had also gotten one, because alex’s aura came in a pair, and her kids, well. they were her pair. they were always so close in spite of the age difference. it felt right that they both had one.

IM SORRY this is a day late i got so distracted last night with all the storming and then i fell asleep early ;o;; but i hope you liked these anyways! <3

#reblog #Astoria fates kiss #I’m loving all these HC’s that I can’t even remember and love the deer plushy one and how #Agent Mom calls Josh and MC HER PAIR!!! AHHH!!! #gosh you’re so brilliant Meg and I hope you know that💙 #favorite post

[seduceme-lovestruck-thearcana]

hehe @seduceme-lovestruck-thearcana hi i have sad(ish) au :)

ok so

imagine an au where instead of MC’s mother dying in that protest to keep HERA open….. Zeus and the other gods discover she has Hera’s potential

but Zeus knows she has a family- a husband, two children. it would go against so much to take her away from that, it would go against Hera’s very being.

he would do anything to get his wife back.

so he offers her a choice.

either she can allow Hera to awaken in her, and leave her family behind, leave everything she’s worked for, everyone she’s loved….

or she can give up her daughter to the gods, and she’ll be allowed to live out the rest of her days with her husband and son. and when the time comes that she dies a human death, the potential would pass to MC, and she would become Hera- and in the meantime, the gods would be prepping her for it.

there’s no question what she would choose, if it really came to it. she would never give her daughter to the gods. but that doesn’t mean she’ll take this sitting down! she fights for all she’s worth, with Aphrodite and Hades backing her up alongside a few minor gods.

it’s not enough.

Zeus forces an answer out of her, makes her choose

and she chooses to lose herself

she’s given enough time to write letters to those she needs to say goodbye to, explain why she has to go. she doesn’t want them to hate her, or the gods, despite it all. she softens the blow for her kids. she tells them that she loves them dearly.

and Hera awakens soon after.

years pass.

Josh has stayed far away from anything to do with the gods, he’s moved on and made himself a name on the cooking scene.

but MC still wants to work for HERA. (it was kept open, at her mother’s request, before she died). she wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps, wants to do what her mother set out to do. she wants to be just like her. she wants to feel close to her again.

it takes a lot of time and training and hard work, but she becomes a field agent, with no aura to her name. she’s still in the artifacts department, working directly under Alex. they fall in love somewhere along the way, but it takes longer when the guilt of being unable to do anything to save MC’s mother threatens to push Alex away from her.

they talk it out, eventually, and it’s rough, but it had to happen at some point.

then there’s the day Deukalion attacks.

it happens later than normal here- he had to search out Hera’s overflow artifact, which was lost to even the goddess herself.

he finds it, and he threatens to crush not only hers, but Aphrodite’s Heart, too. they’re the strongest of gods, with most influence over humans

one is Alex’s mother

and the other is all that’s left of MC’s

so the two of them, Alex and MC, they do whatever it takes to defeat the half-titan before he crushes the artifacts completely. 

MC has some kind of kinship with him- after all, Zeus took her mother, the same as he took Deukalion’s wife, his family. it makes it both easier and harder to detain him

but they do!

they do it, when he attacks Olympus directly after flooding the city

Alex takes the Heart, pulsing weakly with fading power, and goes to give it to their mother

MC, on the other hand, waits. she can’t touch the artifacts herself, so she watches instead, as gods around the room come to collect what is theirs.

her heart stops on the last one to approach,

and she’s met by a face she hasn’t seen in over a decade

she freezes completely, throat closing around any words that try to escape, only managing to choke out one small, little syllable, sounding just as terrified and anguished as she did the day that letter was passed to her

“mom.”

it’s so quiet that she doubts anyone would even be able to hear it, but the goddess looks her in the eye almost immediately after, and she steps past her artifact, closer to MC

MC can’t bring herself to do anything but stare as Hera, looking exactly like her mother did the last time she saw her, approaches her and, after a bit of hesitation, pulls her into a hug

her arms wrap around the goddess almost on instinct, and the tears that were being held back by something break free

in her ear, the goddess whispers,

“i’m sorry for your mother. i would give her back if i could… she loved you so much.”

and any anger or hate she might have felt for Hera over the years dissipates. she can hear the truth in the goddess’ voice, and she simply takes this moment to pretend she’s really hugging her mother, one more time

it’s the closure she’s been searching for for years, it’s the final crack in her heart being filled back in at long last.

Hera holds onto her for as long as she likes, until MC has cried herself dry and she starts regaining her composure, pulling away from the goddess.

“thank you,” she’ll say, even though it still hurts. it always will, she thinks, but pains like that aren’t uncommon in life.

Alex will be by her side after the hug ends, and she’ll grab onto their hand with her own, holding it tight, almost painfully so, though they don’t mind it.

MC leaves, still holding onto Alex, and she looks back to see Hera one more time

after so long, it feels like she can really breathe again
