Reader cuddling Dan Heng's tail and not realizing they feel asleep on it? How does Dan Heng react to this especially Reader seem fine with his Imbibitor Lunae form since reader still sees him as Dan Heng even if he looked different

all of you

dan heng (il) x gn!reader

summary: he might've changed form, but in the end, he is still your beloved dan heng.

cw: fluff, spoilers for dan heng imbibitor lunae

enyo's note: thank you !! this definitely awakened my writing juices. it's just a short drabble but i hope you'll enjoy it still !!

content under the cut | masterlist

something was definitely different about dan heng's entire demeanor ever since he revealed his vidyadhara form. yes, he had always been quiet and distant, but as time passed, he gradually warmed up to you. now, after what happened on the xianzhou luofu, it was as if you were back at square one.

he wasn't shutting you out completely; he still let you be around him and let you do your thing. it was just that he went silent, looking somber and deep in thought. he never was one to open up about his inner struggles, but this time around, it wasn't entirely hard to figure out what was going on behind his pretty eyes.

but you didn't confront him about it. you never did.

instead, you sat curled up against him, your fingertips absentmindedly caressing the scales of his tail. though dan heng had agreed to return to the astral express, he barely left the archive room and didn't participate in anything – not even coming out to eat breakfast together with the crew. you were the only one he let in, hence you spent most of your time in said room alongside him. you were worried about him, yes, but you figured he just needed time to process all that went down. after all, the secret he so long carried upon his heart finally came to the surface, and his true form had showed; imbibitor lunae. now that was quite something.

dan heng didn't return your affection. instead, he stared ahead of him with his hands resting in his lap. you pretended not to mind, but secretly it saddened you a little. yet, you didn't show, and relished in his warmth as you leaned against him, now tiredly wrapping your arms around his tail.

you were slowly dozing off, given how it was already quite late at night. it wouldn't be the first time you'd fall asleep cuddling his tail, and you knew he didn't really mind. it wasn't long before the everlasting silence and the cadence of dan heng's breathing lulled you into a slumber.

now, dan heng finally seemed to wake up from his tense and statue-like state. his solemn gaze fell upon you, earnest grey eyes softening as he took in your sleeping form. he was well aware of how much he distanced himself after revealing his vidyadhara form, as he was scared what the others – and especially you – would think. but you didn't seem to mind, and your behavior around him hadn't changed one bit.

you still smiled at him as brightly as ever, you never looked at him weirdly nor was there any fear present in your eyes as you regarded him. if any, you liked to touch his horns and cuddle his tail and tell him how amazing he looked (before stuttering that he already looked good before the whole imbibitor lunae ordeal). no, you still treated him with the same attention and kindness, and his new form didn't stop you from visiting him in his room and cuddling up against him. something clicked inside his mind; you really didn't regard him any different, did you?

while the others were clearly in awe, treating him with some awkward form of respect, you never changed your act around him. he remembered the words you spoke to him after the hectic events that took place on the xianzhou luofu; "you might look different, but you're still dan heng."

it was okay. it was a big change, but it clearly wasn't that big of a deal for you. the person who was the most important to him accepted imbibitor lunae without a doubt. you were fine with it, and nothing else mattered.

dan heng felt at peace for the first time since. slowly, moving carefully not to wake you, he wrapped an arm around you, using his fingers to delicately move some strands of hair away from your face. he felt so grateful towards you, and he promised himself to show you. he was done distancing himself from you, as it was pointless. you accepted him, no matter what. he was safe with you.

When Janna had still been very little, they’d all taken a plane out to see Uncle Enyos and Aunt Clara in New York City.

i have a lot of thoughts about jenny and enyos and the way that jenny's family and history end up being portrayed in a lot of fic. this is me very much trying to write something that bridges the gap between the very clear enmity between jenny and her uncle in canon and the very questionable precedent it sets to present jenny as the only "good" romani person we see, particularly since she's so deliberate about setting herself apart from romani society.

content warnings for some definite dubious consent (btwn jenny and an original character), racist language, & a dynamic between jenny and enyos that is decisively not healthy.

#fic #jenny calendar #jenny and enyos #enyos sykora #(i mean canon didn't give him a last name. and i need a tag) #i just .... hghghg i think about this one a lot? #jenny is given a lot of love but enyos is one dimensionally terrible #which sure fine i get it but the reason he's terrible is literally rooted in racism. #so i wanted to write some fics about that. and there will likely be more

I live! Just very busy with a lot of things.

In between a commission, I pieced together this reels for IG. These things usually look neater due to video editing apps buuuut I don't have one of those yet (and don't know how to use them 🥲) hence the shaky video and sound.

There were a few ocs that I heard the voices and knew just who I would put for them. Others I had to choose what sounded close in my head.

I love how no one really likes Tore and he ended up getting the longest part lol

All of these are sketches from many months- about a year ago. If some look nicer than others that's most likely why.

Cha'l gets the lost one because he CANNOT sing to save his life. Only his wife, Shiyoon, can listen to him without covering her ears. It's also funny that the only gelf who can't sing, he also gets a long part.

In the future I want to redo this with better drawings and probably different ocs.

I know myself and I will write a paragraph explaining why I chose who for each part, but I'll save everyone the lecture 😅

If I have migraines, so do my characters, so here’s a list of them and how they’re affected purely for the catharsis:

Liam: He’s basically my migraine conduit at this point. He gets them often, to varying degrees. Sometimes he can work through them, sometimes they make him sensitive, and sometimes they take him out. When that happens, he’s relegated to bed until it goes away or he finally breaks and takes migraine rescue meds. He has less severe migraines so often that he doesn’t always register them as a problem, but as the resident anxiety man, he can’t avoid them.

Will: His are occasional, but they knock him out completely anywhere from a few hours to a day. They make him sick, and he just generally doesn’t have a good time the whole time. He gets migraine hangovers and tries to function through them but the brain fog gets to him pretty badly. He gets forgetful and loses track of time easily.

Enyo: Anxiety man again, but in a different book! He almost constantly has a dull headache, so constantly present that he doesn’t necessarily register it all the time. Consequently, he doesn’t normally do anything to make them better. When he gets migraines, he forgets that they’re migraines and just lies down until the worst of it stops.

Rory: He spends a lot of time at a screen and a lot of time just being...brain on. It’s almost like he uses so much energy that eventually his body is like “rest time now” and puts him in so much pain that he can’t function.

#is it obvious yet that every one of my favorite ocs suffers the most #sorry you have to be subjected to me making myself feel better but #i was projecting migraine feelings onto characters who aren't mine but then figured i should switch to my own #do we uh want me to keep posting random hcs about my ocs as i think of them or should i stick to aesthetic posts and stuff #my hcs aren't all about migraines i promise #i am living in migraine hangover hell right now and my dog's vet appt went badly (he's okay it just sucked) #at this point i'm just like every time i want to complain or i feel bad at all i'm just gonna write hcs and fics #anyway might delete this later if i feel dumb about it but right now i just think my characters should suffer too #oc headcanons #liam #rory #enyo #will #oc thoughts #i forget how i tag stuff thank u migraine hangover brain

His everything; Dream of the Endless

Dream of the Endless x oc

Summary: The Lord of Dreams finally finds peace in monsters and the kitchen of his palace

Note: The only physical description I wrote in is the silver hair because I’m fascinated with Velaryons/Targaryens. But anyone can have silver hair, and other than that there is no physical description, I tried to keep it pretty neutral, if I slipped up somewhere please let me know.

I thought about a lot of stories about this oc, I can write more and expand on her if you guys like the story. Also, I'm a little rusty so forgive me if this isn't that good.

Warning: none just fluff

Word count: 1,4k

The universe is full of ironies, the world of gods and monsters even more so.

Echidna, the mother of monsters, had many children, but there was only one of those pregnancies where she was truly haunted. She cursed the Lord of Dreams and Nightmares as the latter plagued her every night, and in her mind that could only mean one thing. So she announced this would be the worst of her children, a monster so ruthless and grotesque that the Olympians themselves would fear the child. Her words traveled from her cave all the way to Olympus, where some of the gods secretly feared the unborn monster, and some mocked its mother, believing the cave had finally taken Echidna’s sanity.

Labor was harder than carrying the child, but once she was born Echidna was surprised. In her arms laid a baby, god-like shape and a head full of silver hair, she was the most beautiful child she had ever seen. Enya, she was named, and her mother hoped naming the child after Enyo would ensure her little monster would wreak havoc around men and gods alike.

As Enya grew up she proved to be completely different from what her mother’s expectations were. She was soft and charming, and the most beautiful creature Echidna had ever seen. Because of that, the mother was very reluctant to let her daughter go, afraid of what the cruel gods would do to her.

The gods were divided when it came to Echidna’s child. Surprisingly, Aphrodite was quite taken with the girl, a monster with a cloak so beautiful it could have come from herself. Zeus on the other hand, masked his fear with contempt, declaring that the girl was the most dangerous of Echidna’s offspring, with her beauty cloaking her monstrosity. With years of roaming the earth, Enya earned the name of Goddess of Monsters, as even the most aggressive of monsters were calmed by her presence.

Just as expected her beauty attracted hundreds of suitors and some lovers, but none were so special and lasting as the very same being that had haunted her mother when she was in the womb, Dream of the Endless.

The salty air calmed her, and she knew her presence calmed whatever resided in the waters in front of her. She heard steps on the sand beside her, and she knew exactly who was approaching. Whether it was his smell that was carried by the wind, or the ruby warmed up on her neck as he approached. The ruby that adorned her neck was the only piece that remained from Dream’s ruby, a gift given to her just before the sleepy sickness started.

“You have no shoes on,” he pointed out jokingly. She loved his voice, as deep as the ocean and just as calm.

“And you are wearing boots at the beach,” she finally opened her eyes and turned to him, moving closer. “Do you ever miss the simpler times?” Her hands went to his chest, “all we wore was silk tunics and dresses, and sandals, vivid colors embellished with gold and silver.”

“And the sheer violet dress you were wearing when we met,” he smiled at his beloved, he remembered that day like it was yesterday.

Her smile grew wider as she remembered their first encounter, “you did like that dress.”

“But I do not miss those times,” his statement made her laugh.

“Of course, the Lord of Nightmares would prefer boots to sandals,” Morpheus smiled, taking her hand into his.

“I do,” he kissed her forehead, “shall we go home?”

The couple walked down the beach, the Lord of Dreams knew there was no need to walk down the beach to reach the Dreaming, but he also knew how much she enjoyed the feeling of the sand on her feet.

The Dreaming was finally rebuilt, and its inhabitants were back to their homes, but even after it was done the Lord of Dreams still had a lot of work to do. He would spend his days working on dreams and nightmares, making sure everything was perfectly in balance. Morpheus enjoyed his duty, but some days he wished he could spend his days with Enya, doing nothing, or whatever she wished to do.

The sky in the Dreaming was dark, their duty was done and its residents could retire to their homes for the day, so their ruler decided to do the same. He quietly searched his palace for his lover, but the silver haired girl was nowhere to be found. Dream’s last stop was the library, he hoped that even if she was not there Lucienne would be able to tell him where she was. 

“Lucienne,” his deep voice echoed in the library.

“Sir,” the librarian emerged from in between the shelves.

“Have you seen Enya?” He asked, and he did not miss the small smile on Lucienne’s face.

“I believe she is in her kitchen, Sir,” she informed Morpheus.

Her kitchen, of course, the Lord thought, was the most obvious place, but since it had not been used since he was freed from his captor, the location slipped his mind.

 For most gods and immortal beings cooking was mundane, an unnecessary task that was beneath them. But his Enya took great pleasure in the simple act of cooking, so the Lord of Dreams turned one of the lower rooms of his palace into a kitchen, with a large balcony overlooking the waters that surrounded the palace, and a simple table so they could eat overlooking his kingdom.

Dream’s large steps quickly took him to the kitchen, and as soon as he reached the large doors the Endless could smell whatever she was cooking. Once the door was opened he found Enya bent down, taking something out of the oven, but what really caught his attention was the dress she was wearing, the sheer violet dress.

Enya felt the warmth coming from the ruby on her neck before the doors were opened, and a smile appeared on her face once she heard his steps.

“Torta della nonna,” she showed him the pastry on her hands before placing it on the counter.

As soon as the pastry was set down on the counter Dream’s hands found their way to her hips. “Is there a special occasion? You only cook Italian on special occasions,” he pointed out.

Enya was very good at hiding her emotions, but she rarely ever did so. Morpheus could see the love and admiration she held for him For a long time all that love and devotion scared him, but not anymore.

She shrugged her shoulders, “I missed you.” she said before pulling him into a kiss.

The Lord of Dreams melted into her lips, and as much as he could kiss her forever he was still curious. “And the dress? I did not know you still had it,” He asked and she giggled at his interest in the dress.

���It is a beautiful dress,” he laughed at her, “and it was the dress I wore when we first met.”

“At Artemis’ garden,” Dream said and she nodded.

“I wanted to do something special for you,” she explained. “You deserve it, especially after everything,” after Roderick Burgess, she thought but those words were left unspoken.

“Every day I spend with you is special,” The Lord of Dreams brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, his eyes never leaving hers.

Enya couldn’t look away, for in his eyes she saw her whole world, she saw a kind of love she had only heard in stories, and she knew she could never let this go.

“Yes,” she nodded, “but lasagna and dessert make this day more special,” Dream chuckled at this.

“And the dress,” he added, and this time Enya was the one to chuckle.

“And the dress, of course,” she finally got out of his embrace, turning towards the counters, she picked up the dessert and nodded to the lasagna on the counter, “ bring that, will you?” Morpheus simply nodded, picking up the hot dish and following his lover outside. The table was already set with plates, silverware, glasses, water, and wine. After all, every dinner with the Lord of Nightmares was a special occasion. Dream watched as she served them dinner, he now understood the beauty she saw in such small acts, but maybe it was not the act he found beautiful, maybe it was her, his everything.

“Mm.” Norman whined, having a look of anger on his face. 

“You don’t want to talk?”

“Mm-mm.”

Before I need to go get paint all over myself I must say. Shen you know I adore your writing,you and by extention I fucking love how much you spoil us by sharing it.

But I am very sorry. You cannot give me Alceste!! The world biggest player, dionys who is the hottest nerd ever and my one and only actual true love Enyo (fuck bella still i hate her) and then tell me I can't absolutely make a mess of them!

Fade to black for who?????

That's just being a tease and it's CRUEL writing them to be that attractive and would make you a big time meanie baneanie (i had a 4yo call me that yesterday because i wouldnt let them eat the cookie scented playdough)

This is a criminal offense. It's a travesty. It's egregious and offensive! It's worse than giving a gift and taking it back after which btw is incredibly bad manners!

Am I being dramatic enough?? 👀

Teehee :)

(vote for an 18+ change for Under the Eyes of Themis, and I'll let you blow their backs out 🤭. need another incentive? sure. alceste (probably) whimpers.)

Oh, yes, for those only following this blog and not my other, dear friend is talking about my other IF, Under the Eyes of Themis! It's a Mystery-Romance where you try to find who killed your sister and framed you!

It's similar to The Vermillion Court, but has a different vibe! I think some of you guys may like it too! It also has a demo!

Hi! I really like your self aware au, could I request Jing Yuan, Blade and Dan Heng(IL) seeing reader crying over Simulated universe swarm disaster? ( it's kicking me in the ass and I'm stuck at difficult 2 :') )

SIMULATED UNIVERSE: a literal disaster

jing yuan, blade, dan heng (il), gepard x gn!reader

summary: you struggle with the new swarm disaster event while you cleared the rest of honkai: starrail's content with ease, how to they react?

cw: self-aware au, comfort

enyo's note: i combined two requests because they were very similar, i hope that's okay! also this was so relatable, i strongly dislike swarm disaster 💀

her personal taglist: @hiraethsdesires

content under the cut | masterlist

jing yuan

honestly, i can see him being amused at first.

you never really struggle with anything in the game – even the hardest boss battles won't get you and your team down.

so seeing you struggle like that with the new swarm disaster event, that's a rare sight and he just can't help but find your little fit of frustration kind of cute.

but when it gets out of hand, his amusement is quick to fade away. tears form in your eyes when you fail the challenge again and now the general gets worried.

"are you okay, y/n?" he asks as you exit the simulated universe. there is no playfulness in his voice, only worry.

you shake your head. "i don't know what i'm doing wrong."

jing yuan helps you through this tough event to the best of his abilities. he tries a little harder in battle, going past his own limits to get the job done. he gives strategic advice and coordinates the rest of your team alongside you, like a true general.

to him, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, he's proud of you for not giving up immediately. he's there to catch you after another defeat and celebrates with you when you finally clear a new difficulty level!

blade

he definitely shares your frustration.

not a part of him is entertained by your struggles. if any, he's just as upset as you are. when the two of you work together, nothing ever goes wrong. then why can't you get past the swarm boss?

but even now, his soft spot for you resurfaces when you tear up in sheer frustration. another defeat. another failure. you just want to give up. to shut down your device and punch a wall. although blade is more than ready to commit a sin as well, he tries to keep his cool for you.

"let's try again," he growls, tightly gripping his blade. "i'll bring those bugs their demise."

every time you want to quit, he convinces you to go on, and blade keeps pushing his boundaries just to get you through another level.

defeat only fuels his fire, and he won't rest (and won't let you rest) until you clear another difficulty.

because he does everything for you.

dan heng (+ imbibitor lunae)

as a nameless in his human form he already tries his hardest for you. he knows you are frustrated and so is he, limited by the aforementioned human form.

he doesn't really show it, he doesn't complain. he just stays quiet and does his very best, urging you to move through the various panes with a silent nod.

dan heng hates seeing you struggle, especially since he knows you got through the game's previous content without issues. he's also quite confused, why is this so difficult?

okay, at some point you start noticing his frustration too, as he grows a little reckless during fights. there's anger in his usually solemn gaze as he goes on.

yet, regardless of his own frustration, he still consoles you after every defeat, pretending to be confident in winning at some point even though he isn't confident at all.

so when he gains access to his vidyadhara form, unlocking a newfound strength, he goes all in again, just for you – with newfound hope.

it actually goes better now, but as you reach the swarm it proves to be quite difficult still. but he convinces you to not give up, no matter how many attempts it takes.

when you finally clear a new difficulty level, you might even catch a faint smile. "you did well, y/n."

gepard landau

the captain of the silvermane guards always gets you through whatever the game throws at you. with his strong defensive abilities, he keeps your team shielded and alive in the hardest circumstances.

so he's slightly caught off-guard when your team keeps dying in the new event.

while he writes it off as an unfortunate coincidence after the first few defeats, he seriously starts doubting his capabilities when your team dies again. he doesn't show it but he's secretly afraid that you're disappointed in him for not keeping the team alive.

but his will never falters and every time you try again, he too tries harder and harder. even when you get so frustrated that you're about to tear up, he motivates you to go at it regardless because he wants to make it up to you.

"we got this, y/n," he speaks resolutely.

'giving up' isn't in his vocabulary, so he too pushes his own limits. but it pays off, because you make it past the swarm boss at some point and clear the difficulty level you had deemed impossible.

gepard is so relieved that he prove his worth again; he got you and your team through a difficult challenge, successfully fulfilling his duty.

he's proud of you, and please tell him you're proud of him as well!!

alsoooo just some thoughts for those who have been reading my stuff consistently: rex is the same rex from constellation kiwi, and jenny describes herself in that fic as having "enjoyed" her relationship with him when she was fifteen. i thought it would be interesting to write her relationship from her fifteen-year-old perspective specifically because i DO think twenty-something year old jenny starts very loudly going "yes i definitely liked my first boyfriend :) i was having fun and in control" as a defense mechanism after Everything That Happens in the fic i just posted. thx

#writing talk #part of me wants to link those fics together #but i feel like it might distract from jenny & enyos? so idk.

Steamed punk* anon again

Person who recommended Mechina to me, hello again. I am writing to you through correspondence mail because your asks are turned off. I hope you will see this

Anyway, a while after I sent my previous ask thanking you for recommending me the band, I've decided to look into the lore of the songs because as it turns out, they all follow a storyline apparently. So what I found out is that at one point, Enyo had implied sex with Amyntas and that it was a whole thing

Now here's where the fun part comes in: my current hyperfixation, the one for which I asked song recommendations, also happens to feature augmented people (though not as heavily augmented as the people in Mechina) where they had implied sex at one point. If we wanna go further with the parallels and willing to stretch a little bit, I can also say that the ones doing the sex were both leaders of their people who went a little crazy. Except in my case the reason behind the sex was power trip and a one-sided crush (also it was a guy doing the sex, not a woman)

Who could have guessed that Mechina would once again become relevant in such a hyper-specific way! Lol

* steamed punk is not autocorrect, but an intentional playful misspelling

--

[all-pacas]

back in the "i can't write for shit and everyone hates me" coal mines. anyway here's something i wrote and DO like, but it isn't fitting with the other part of this story i wrote, so will i use it? will i not?

-

Enyo Atavian has always preferred to be organized. Whether it was in service wrangling the Cult of Bhaal, or simply figuring out into whose pack the extra healing potions had gone, she takes a certain pleasure in knowing where things were and what to do next.

It had made her an excellent co-creator of the Absolute. It had made her the natural quartermaster of the party, not to mention the only one who tended to remember their convoluted list of tasks and promises.

Shadowheart had teased her now and again, that someone who had once introduced herself as the Dark Urge would be so fond of lists, but Enyo had never seen a contradiction: Despite what her sister believed, her task was to kill every living soul on Toril. Not to spend weeks planning beautiful tableaus made of a single corpse. How better than to plan ahead?

When it becomes clear to her she only has days left to live, Enyo finds her penchant for lists has yet another purpose.

In the ledger she’d once used to try and sort her fragments of memory, Enyo writes the names of her new friends, and sorts what must be done to make sure they will be taken care of after she is gone.

It’s a daunting, but straight-forward, list. Gale still has the inactive Orb lodged between his ribs, but so long as they appease his god he should be alright. The Sharrans will need to be taken care of for Shadowheart, and Lae’zel is desperate to rescue Prince Orpheus. Halsin has been talking about rebuilding Rethwin; gold might be all he needs. Minsc will be fine no matter what, and Jaheira is fairly self-sufficient.

Karlach is a harder case. Enyo really has no idea how to save her life, but perhaps the Gondian gnomes can do something. Wyll’s father is in Gortash’s grasp. She will lean on their old alliance to find out where the duke is, and they will free him without Mizora’s assistance. And come to think of it, Gortash might even be able to work some of his artificer talents on his old bodyguard — if she can persuade him to help, and Karlach to trust him.

Astarion… on the surface, what she must do for him is utterly straight-forward: kill Cazador Szarr.

But that’s only half the problem.

Enyo picks at and mangles her pen instead of her fingers and skin as she thinks. It is evening, and they are spread about the Elfsong’s common room in groups of twos and threes. Talking, reading, cleaning armor, playing cards. Somewhere along the way, they’d all gone from strangers who barely tolerated one another to… friends. And as trite as the realization was…

Putting her affairs in order was breaking her heart.

But Enyo would soon be dead, soul annihilated and blood returned to her Father. What she felt no longer mattered. Ensuring the futures of her loved ones did.

#type a durge my beloved #i base like 80% of my characterization of durge on that one note they wrote orin #where they're like stop being an Art Kid and get your numbers up. murder is a numbers game sis. get with it #the dark urge

15 Days of Deity Devotion: ARES

Day Two: Genealogy

Parents: Zeus and Hera

Famous love(s): Aphrodite, Enyo, Erinys Telphousia, Harmonia (nymph), Atalanta (mortal), Otrere (demi goddess)

Famous Children: Harmonia, Phobos, Deimos (gods), Ismenian Dragon (Drakon of Thebes and who the Spartoi are descended from), Alcippe, Otrere, Hippolyta, Antiope, and Penthesilea (Amazon Queens), Aphneios

**

Ares is an interesting figure in Greek mythology as the only son of Hera and Zeus. He and his sisters, Eileithyia (goddess of childbirth and labor pains), and Hebe (goddess of youth) are the only 3 children of Zeus and Hera (some myths place Hephaestus as another of their children, or just the son of Hera). However, the list of half siblings is at least twice as long and accounts for over half of the Olympians. Perhaps his most famous sibling rivalry is with Athena, who over the course of the Iliad and, to a lesser extent the Odyssey, triumphs again and again over brash, chaotic Ares. It is perhaps a way to build Athena up as the protector and savior of Athens, and less a commentary on Ares as a "lesser god" (more thoughts on this in a later post).

Siblings aside, Ares was also quite the family man with over 20 described children from mortals, gods, and nymphs alike. His most famous love is that of his affair with Aphrodite, whom, by some accounts (the Iliad and Homeric genealogy) is his half-sister. (personally, I ascribe Aphrodite as the daughter of Ouranos and the sea). Condensed, Ares and Aphrodite were caught cheating by Hephaestus (Aphrodite's husband) in a golden net. Instead of being shunned by the Olympians, Ares was merely told to pay a penalty and the two lovers were allowed to carry on their affair. Aphrodite ends up divorcing Hephaestus and becomes the goddess who controls her own fate. Now, this story is absolutely fascinating from a cultural lens, but this is not the time for that discussion.

This love with Aphrodite produced 3 divine children - Phobos (terror and dread), Deimos (panic and flight), and Harmonia (harmony and unity). This is a really interesting pairing of the goddess of love and the god of war, but it actually makes some sense to me. After the panic and terror of war subsides, sometimes (note the sometimes) something just was won and harmony and peace can come to the land. Remember this tidbit for later!

Finally, a few of Ares' mortal children deserve a special shout-out. These are Aphneios, Alcippe, and the Amazons.

The mythology of Aphneios is rather tragic, but goes to show a side of Ares we rarely are exposed to. The story goes that Aphneios was born but his mother died in labor. Distraught, Ares nursed his newborn son at his mother's breast and this saved him from death too. Wholesome, no?

Alcippe was another daughter of Ares. Alcippe was on the receiving end of unwanted advances (read: assault) by a son of Poseidon, Hallirhothios. When Alcippe screamed out for help Ares came and killed his daughter's assaulter without thought. Poseidon was pissed and took Ares to trial, however he was found to be just in his slaying of Hallirhothios by Zeus and acquitted. As a SA survivor, I'm sure you can understand why I love Ares for this.

Finally, the Amazons. The women warrior tribe of myth, and, perhaps, reality too in a different way than we imagined. While I could write a whole post about the Amazons, I'll just point out that he literally fathered the whole race of Amazon women with the nymph (not his daughter) Harmonia. Check them out, they're a fun bunch to read about. The story of Hippolyta and Penthesilea tears my heart out.

Omg Enyo is so adorably mischievous 😭😭😭

I love his dynamic honestly. So childish but so dangerous. It's charming.

Okay I don't know If you do ro reaction asks but please indulge me if you can. 👀

If MC fell asleep on the ROs shoulder while they were busy talking how would they wake them up? In the crushing stage and in the relationship phase.

Hello! I always welcome reaction/scenario asks! They're so fun to do and I wish I actually got more lmao! Also, love that you love Enyo! They're so fun!

Anyways, I did write something similar to this before, so sorry if I end up repeating things!

Thanks for sending it in!

The ROs Reacting to MC Falling Asleep on Their Shoulder (crushing vs relationship)

Alceste (crushing) - Alceste loves this kind of stuff. He'll 100% let you sleep on his shoulder. He really doesn't mind. Definitely has a lil blush though, if you wake up fast enough or on your own. Otherwise, he'll wake you up in about an hour out of concern for your neck. He's nice about, just nudging you awake.

Alceste (relationship) - Pretty much the same as crushing, but he'll move you to lay on top of him pretty fast. He finds it to be more comfortable for the both of you and you're in luck! He's really comfortable to cuddle! Don't be surprised if you wake up laying on his chest and see that he's also taking a lil nap! You might have to wake him up and not the other way around.

Larisilla (crushing) - If you opened up Google and went "Google, show me how to make Larisilla shut up immediately?", this is your answer. She has no idea how to respond. Dare I say, you've rendered her dumbstruck? Her next actions will all depend on if you're alone or not.

If you are alone (so just the two of you), she'll let you stay where you are. She'll probably be a little stiff since she Won't Move, terrified of waking you, but she won't complain and if she does, she blames it on training. Even if you haven't seen her train in like 3 days...

If you aren't alone, I'm sorry to say, she's waking you up. Now, normally, she would shove you off of her, so it does mean Something when she just shakes you awake and tells you to go sleep somewhere else. Also, ignore the blush on her face. She's not blushing! It's just hot in here!

Larisilla (relationship) - In a relationship, Larisilla is 100x times nicer. She'll let you sleep on her shoulder for as long as you want. If you guys have space (i.e on a couch) and she's in the right mood, she'll even stretch out and let you lay on her. Might even sneak in a lil forehead kiss while you're asleep. Will be very aggressive to people who are loud and might wake you up (it's just Enyo). She wants her favorite royal to get some nice naps in!

Dionys (crushing) - Dionys would silently freak out. Not because he doesn't like you, but because he likes you A Lot. He shifts around and fidgets quite a bit, so you'll probably end up waking up within the hour and he'll feel bad. If you don't wake up from him moving around almost constantly, he'll let you rest your head on his shoulder for a bit before waking you up nicely and telling you to find somewhere better to sleep. The whole time, though, he's stiff as a statue.

Dionys (relationship) - I'm going to assume by now you'd have gotten used to his fidgeting, so you won't wake up if he moves. He, too, is used to falling asleep at random times. Might move so you can lay on his chest or in a different cuddling position. Won't stop his work and doesn't really mind at this point. Like in the crushing stage, he will wake you up in about an hour so your neck won't get sore.

Somnia (crushing) - Somnia is so thrilled and overjoyed. She loves cuddling! Will shift around to help you get comfortable. She keeps a healer's schedule, so there's a pretty high chance she'll also take a lil nap. If she doesn't, she'll wake you up in a bit to give you something for the developing crick in your next or she'll just move you to the best position for sleeping without getting a crook in your neck.

Somnia (relationship) - You're in luck because Somnia is the best cuddler of the group. She's soft and warm, so laying on her is the best. Will definitely fall asleep on you too and just make a cuddle pile. Otherwise, very similar to her crushing stage, just with more cuddles and kisses!

Enyo (crushing) - Remember how I said Enyo would draw on your face if you fell asleep? Yeah, they're doing that still. Enyo really doesn't mind. Still super happy and overjoyed at the fact that you're willing to sleep on their shoulders. Watch out for hidden blades though. They won't wake you up on their own and will just hope you have somewhere to go soon. If you do rest your head on them for too long, they Will nudge you off of them.

Enyo (relationship) - Still wants to draw on your face, but will restrain themselves so you won't get upset. Will move you to be more comfortable (laying on their chest). They're super boney, though, and it's pretty uncomfortable. They most likely won't wake you up, so that's more of a you problem to get up so your neck won't hurt. Will place their freezing cold hands on your bare back and laugh as you jump and get startled by their ice cold hands.

Alright, so-

Icarus is a ghost who possesses a mirror, and his first appearance was him messing around with the gods (minus Melinoë). After a talk, Icarus calmed down, and is now dating Hermes. This cause an uproar of dead people coming alive, like Cassandra, Orpheus, Achilles and recently Jason the Argonaut and Medea.

After that, it was pretty calm, Enyo and Melinoë got together though. Then the revolution was planned. I’m not actually sure who started it, but if my memories serve me correctly, it was Aphrodite and Ares ? But point is, they have a battle plans and everything.

Then The Manipulator made an appearance. Ares made an off - handed comment about how he misses Eos, and Aphrodite took offense to that. The Manipulator obviously made it worse, and since Ares and Aphrodite were important members in the revolution, it was pretty stressful, but they made up eventually (seven hours, to be specific).

So while that happened, Hera tried to manipulate Hypnos into joining her side by taking advantage of the fact his mother was busy and tried to replace her. Nyx, as expected, was not happy. And she was even angrier when she was caught up on what was happening, so she decided she had enough and yeeted both Zeus and Hera into Tartarus.

Dionysus was elected king, but The Manipulator went after Apollo and made him a power hungry tyrant. He even pulled a bow on Aunt Artemis ! He was talked down, but during that, The Manipulator went after Icarus.

The Icarus part was… Complicated. You should definitely go ask Hermes or Melinoë about it, since I mostly stay away from it.

After that, nothing extremely important happened, just some shenanigans here and there, like Hermes and Melinoë making a panic hole, Iris apparently have a twin and they scammed Hypnos, Hypnos and Thanatos both have the hot for Ares (keep that in mind), a priestess showed up and my dad adopted her.

Then Eris showed up. And she was a bitch. So Nyx trapped her in a constellation. That’s it. This comes back later though.

So, I’m not actually sure how this happened, but Ares, Aphrodite, Melinoë and Enyo ended up in a situation. That ended with Aphrodite, Melinoë and Enyo in a polycule, Ares and Thanatos is dating, and Aphrodite and Ares is also dating.

Then Eris escaped, so now me, Liara and Astrid is gonna go on a quest to get her back soon.

So Deimos showed up and he dated Prietess, it was pretty nice, but then Deimos found about about Zeus and Hera, so he tried to help them (Hera manipulated him) escape, that’s an on going issue.

Somewhere along that, Prietess and Deimos had a fall out, and it affected Prietess pretty badly. Still not sure how that’s going, but Medusa showed up ! And Atlas too, so you and Percy might wanna avoid him.

Yeah, pretty much all major godly stuff that happened. Now, demigodly stuff that happened is a whole nother story, but I’ll send you that list when you asked, since I don’t wanna blog your inbox.

Now that I’m writing this, I realised we never figure out who The Manipulator is…

…

Wow. That’s a lot more than I thought. And what do you mean Atlas is here? Isn’t he supposed to be holding up the sky? And please do tell me about the demigod stuff, i don’t mind.
