Underworld Children

So like I did with some of the Olympian gods, here's how some of the children of the underworld tend to look/act.

I hc that, since there are less of these children than other demigod children, they have closer relationships with their parents and often spend time in the underworld with them.

Children of Thanatos:

They tend to have grey or black hair though the coloring of the other parent has sometimes come through. usually curly

Their eyes are usually a light yellowish brown with their iris' being bigger than usually given them a wide eyed look.

Many of his children sometimes are born with silver eyes like Thanatos' twin Hypnos and some of his children

They all are born with avian style wings, though the coloring can be anything from black, silver, white, brown, etc. Bc of magic, they are able to hide the wings when necessary but two scar like lines go down the shoulders where they would usually be.

Fangs. These are retractable to a normal size and length and not all of his children get them.

Can be the type to be cheerfully morbid. Think of how happy the Addams Family is when it's raining and grey outside.

Have a very positive or neutral view on death. Since it is literally their father, they never fear it but tend to see it as just another aspect of life. Like having to go to an appointment.

Children of Hypnos

They tend to have darker colored hair that curls or is wavy

Their eyes are usually silver but some have had yellowish eyes like Hypnos' twin Thanatos

Some, but not all, are born with wings. it's a very 50/50 chance that you will be born with them. They tend to be more unusual colors like purples, blues, pinks, etc.

They very rarely get fangs but their eyes do tend to change more drastically than their other cousins (ie, the whites of their eyes being taken over by the color of their iris' when they use their powers.)

They can either sleep anywhere under any condition or they need very specific conditions to even be able to relax. No in-between.

Usually are very chill and have an easygoing personality.

Can get very irritated if they have not sleep their usual amount and it makes them come across as passive aggressive and rude without meaning to.

Love to meditate and will often do it when bored or if they have to wait for time to pass. During this time they may speak with their father or grandmother, or channel energy into their powers.

Children of Charon

Weirdly enough, they usually have very dark red (like ariel red) or brown hair. almost always curly.

They also have more yellow eyes.

They don't usually have wings but many have fangs. they aren't retractable so they usually smile with their mouths closed and sometimes mumble because they try not to open their mouths often when they speak around mortals or other demigods that might look at them weird.

They tend to be very analytical and like to observe and learn

The most likely to keep a grudge but you'll probably never know they have something against unless you they want you to.

They tend to be the closest with their grandmother, Lady Nyx, since Charon is always in the underworld so when they visit him, they always stop by to see her.

Are the type of people to look miserable while at work but they are actually thriving and really enjoy what they are doing (if it is a job they like, if not then they are actually miserable. help them.)

They just have chronic RBF but very sweet smiles when they give a real one.

All:

They are always very close with their cousins. it can sometimes come across as very cliquey when at camp as they find each other and then group up.

This is also probably because they've usually met eachother when they were young in the underworld so they have more history than with other demigods

They call their grandmother, Lady Nyx: Grandmother, Mother Night, Mother Nyx, Lady Night. It depends on the situation and who is around.

usually more well trained then other demigods when they first get to camp bc, since there is very little of them compared to other cabins, they tend to be partially trained on their powers and some weapons by their parents.

Lady Nyx adores her grandchildren so they will receive at least one small blessing from her in their life time. Usually at birth and it can range from the ability to see in the dark or to manipulate small amounts of darkness or create tiny stars in their hands. Usually something small but fun and it helps them connect to her.

sarcastic little shits. All of them. When in the underworld, they are usually very respectful to other deities they meet but will backtalk and sass in a way that is subtle enough that they can't get in trouble for it. Lord Hades, loves and hates whenever he runs into them bc its funny when they do it to others, but when it happens to him he wants to strangle them a little. (alot)

I don't know to much of Nyx's other children but when I do some research I will be back with the others

Does anyone ever wonder what a demigod team with the children of Thanatos, Nyx, Morpheus, and Hypnos would look like?

What would they call themselves? Team Night?

What do you guys think? What would they be like? Would they be scary?

The funniest thing about being a child of Thanatos is that you immediately get lumped in with children of Hades. To which, you all just look at each other and let out a long sigh.

I was just reading son of Neptune the other night and an idea has been stuck in my head ever since. Like at some point in the beginning of the book, Percy refers to the god of death as Thanatos, so using his greek name. And someone -was it Octavian? I'm not too sure- corrects him by telling him that actually it's Letus, so his roman name, but anyway when referring to death they have no trouble letting it stay Greek.

But like, I've been obsessing over it??? Like, my new head canon is officially just the idea that the children of Thanatos would not be included in the pact between the two camps. The possibility of them being in one as much as the other based solely on who finds them first?? (I'm also convinced that they'll probably be the biggest paria ever, because if Hades is hated he's still one of the big three, people can't just put him aside. But children of just...Death? Nah.)

Believe it or not my favorite thing about Hades 2 is that Moros actually looks like his brothers

..or well...at the very least like thanatos

OKAY BUT LIKE IMAGINE

Nico standing in the back corner of a room while Will’s trying to heal someone and Thanatos suddenly appears and Nico literally just isn’t having it.

Pretty much this:

Thanatos: *comes to collect the soul*

Nico: BITCH I THINK NOT💅

i’m sorry i’ve been on a bit of a Solangelo kick lately😭✌️

children of thanatos headcanons

a/n: the hcs will be updated and edited as i come up with more

even before they get claimed, thanatos kids have this aura around them and sick looking faces—like they're at the brink of death.

most get claimed at night. a black smoke appears above their heads in the shape of a butterfly fluttering its wings.

lots of campers are at best afraid of them and at worst completely distrusting.

thanatos kids don't have their own cabin. instead, they share with the hypnos kids—since their godly parents are twins. some thanatos kids like going from cabin to cabin, mainly the hades, hypnos and hecate cabins. they're most welcome there.

just like hypnos kids they have wings!! not all of them, but the majority, in contrast the hypnos kids where a few have them.

they like bitter things. like a lot. especially dark chocolate.

in hoo, thanatos is described as having black sky, like the night sky. so most of his kids are black, or mixed. their hair types range from 3a/b to 4c. their eyes are either a very dark brown or pitch black where you can't even see the light being reflected.

being grandchildren of nyx, they also have some of her blessings, like enchanted eyesight in the dark.

others have shadow manipulation. nothing too big, but they feel more connected with her and her childern.

they have a strong bond with hypnos and nyx kids. they're inseparable. they all get along so well. it's impossible to go around camp and not find thanatos/nyx, thanatos/hypnos kids having fun in a corner somewhere.

thanatos kids like to mess with hebe kids and vice versa. whenever they touch the flowers of the hebe cabin to make them wilt, hebe kids one up them by making a flower path wherever they go. it's all petty things they do.

other than that they get along, mostly.

if you ever go into the hypnos cabin and hear emo/metal/jazz/rap blasting, it's thanatos kids.

hypnos kids are this 🤏 close to revoking their mp3 privileges

got labelled as the goth/emo kid at school.

their tired of the 'grumpy/black cat/emo/goth/metal kid' stereotype others force upon them. lots of them are balls of sunshine, the sweetest sweethearts you'll ever meet.

they love winter and winter holidays, no matter which religious/non-religious holiday they choose to celebrate.

they know how to make syrup out of everything. demeter kids are equally amazed and try to one up them.

thb i see lots of thanatos kids leaning into the whole vampire/un-dead aesthetic. it just suits them so much!!

very into astronomy and astrology (they're different and thanatos kids will go on a one hour rant on how different they are and how frustrating it is that others dont know this common knowledge!! like, seriously ppl,,,,)

they're very good with sculpting

they're severely lacking vitamin d (and it doesn't help that they're literal hermits, never leaving their cabins)

(it also adds to their vampire aesthetic)

(but anyway)

no one really pays attention to them at camp. they're just there 🧍 they are forgotten easily but they dont care that much

they also don't go on many quests. they prefer it that way anyway.

they like harvesting strawberries (and also stealing some of them in thw process but everyone at starwberry field duty does this so who's surprised)

While doing reach for my owns OCs, I was surprised (while I shouldn't because if Sanada do something right it's definitely the symbolism of her characters) that Eddie is incredibly Thanatos coded.

✅ Psychopompe of sort (carried the bodies to hell/eternal rest), guardian of dead (literally one of the meaning of Eddie's name: Guardian of Tombs) ✅ Poppy theme (its seeds are narcoleptic and help create morphine, related to Thanatos, Hypnos and Morpheus in myth. Other than the sleep like apparence of dead, it's also because ingesting too much of it can be deadly.) ✅ *Anime only* butterfly theme (in Ancient Greek, butterflies are a symbolism for the human soul - it's also why Psyché is given butterfly wings, as she becomes the goddess of Soul. Sometimes, Thanatos is also represented with butterflies)

Both the flower and the insect are also symbolism for the beauty yet the brevity of life. ✅ Give peaceful/unpainful deaths (Thanatos was originally just the Death, then as the myth goes on, the brutals deaths were given to his sisters, the Keres) ✅ Big Family (For Thanatos: A twin brother who had A TON of children including Morpheus + all the others Nyx's children, being his siblings. Mason family is smaller in comparaison (4 boys) but they had a zoo in their house soooo...)

✅ Buttmonkey (Thanatos on paper is scary and inflexible, yet this dude manages to get caught in a bag by Sisyphus.)

(I mean.)

(And he also loses to Heracles for some reasons.)

(As is Eddie for the Angels who always ended up with the short stick).

Now I can see a more twisted vision of Thanatos/Hypnos with Albert/Eddie, so this will be more a theory/interpretation than a true comparaison but still.

Hypnos and Thanatos are twin brothers, and sometimes co-workers.

Hypnos, god of sleep, is represented with white wings and is beloved by humans and gods alike as they allow them to rest, to be at peace. This love is reciprocated.

Thanatos is represented with black wings. In opposition to his brother, he is hated and feared by humans and gods alike, but as Hypnos, the feeling is shared (though the fear is replaced by distaste).

Now, Eddie and Albert. They aren't twin brothers but I still feel there is some parallelism.

Albert is the "favorite" one, despite being the violent one. While saying he hates everything and everyone is probably exaggerated, he is in so much pain, frustration (and delusional), he projects on others, especially the weaks (and Eddie) and search to destroy them.

Meanwhile, Eddie is the "unfavorite" but also the kind one. The one who wants pets (and people) to be at peace. He feels that by 'owning' people (by killing them) he can make them 'happy' and connect with them that way (hence his interest in Ray).

All this to say that, somehow, Albert is like a Thanatos rejecting his role (as a gravedigger) and his family (becoming ironically more 'peaceful' than his so loving brother), while Eddie is a sort of Hypnos who had gone wrong by embracing his brother's (Thanatos) duty.

#hana talks #edward mason #angels of death #satsuriku no tenshi #eddie mason #thanks for reading my TED talk goodbye #of course I could have also mention the whole Eros/Thanatos with Eddie/Ray #but it's not really mythology. It's more interpretation of Freud's work #btw he never talks about Thanatos #only Eros as pulsion of life and creation in opposition to the pulsion of destruction who was unnamed #I think it's also worth mentioning that we have no idea if the twins had a good relationship or not #as far we know they work together to gather the dead and. that's it #Hypnos is married and had a ton of children as said above #Thanatos is probably uninterested by the question (except if you are into HADES game I guess) #maybe I'll come back to it cause it's getting late #also interesting fact: sometimes Thanatos is represented as a child

[radiantmists]

oh no

oh my GOD don't offer to go to jail/hell for zagreus, he's trying to leave you behind!!

well good, but... what? 'this is your realm, not mine'?

I guess it makes sense that the underworld belongs to thanatos, god of death, whereas hades was just assigned there, but... i did not expect hades to concede authority!

#but also thanatos' “he and i...” #i love you too than #also fascinating how hades' children are basically ranked by how useful they are #thanatos is the favorite child and literally irreplaceable in the underworld #hypnos sleeps on the job but he wakes up when someone walks by so it still kinda works out #and then zagreus was completely useless administratively #but like. maybe zag just needs a job that fits him as well as thanatos' does him! #hades game

[finalexpenses]

baby meg and her tiny wing

#the painting isnt canon unfortunately (hypnos‚ thantos‚ and megaera were all a little bit older than i) #< they were still kids before persephone left though. theres a line you can get just before starting a run thats #like. a flashback line or whatever of hades telling zagreus to go play with hypnos or thanatos #and i have to assume he wouldnt have used that wording if any of us were anything other than children akdjdjeje

[thanatoseyes]

I asked my fiance if it was cool to put an altar in our shared living space and she said it was fine as long as I didn't worship any Lovecraftian horrors.

#i wasnt planning on it #but now that shes said something. . . jk #no i just feel like I need to do something #to reach out and do something #ive never been a religious person #i just never understood the appeal #i mean i was raised episcopalian #but i never really fit into god's little mold #and ive found over the years ive just been dancing around the thought of hypnos and thanatos and nyx and all of her children #it just seems right right now to actually do something #i dont know if anything will come of it but we shall see #thanatoseyes #altars #diety worship #witchblr #im doing the research man #i was born to do research #ive got a masters i can get by

Azrael Gellan. He was a few years older than Alabaster, seventeen. He had dark fluffy hair with pale skin that contrasted his black eyes. He usually dressed in black, which he said made it easier to blend into the sky at night. That was the thing about Azrael, his father was the god of death, Thanatos. He had several abilities as a result, but the most impressive, in Alabasters opinion, was he could fly. Azrael could summon wings at will, they looked like a butterflies wings as a contrast to his twin sisters moth-like wings.

hi have my skrunkley little thanatos kid because i love him so much even though hes dead in the og universe but hes alive in this au so

#kronos!jason au #phoenix ocs #alabaster torrington #idc if thanatos didnt have demigod children #he does now #fight me #/j #youre gonna look me in the eye and youre gonna tell me that there were only 7 minor gods? #with children in the army? #wrong #you're simply incorrect #rick. #you are wrong

[eddieisashifter]

Headcanon: Children of Thanatos are very claustrophobic due to the whole Sisyphus incident.

#If you don't know #Sisyphus was a big jerk and causing problems so the gods sent Thanatos (god of death) to collect him #Hades gave him an unbreakable chain to bind Sisyphus bc he was very clever and might escape #but Sisyphus tricked Thanatos bound him with his own chain and locked him in a trunk for like a month #he eventually got out because nothing was dying without him and the gods figured it out #but Thanatos was pretty pissed after that #so anyway #pjo headcanon #pjo #percy jackson headcanon #camp half blood headcanon #children of thanatos #percy jackon and the olympians #half blood

"You don't understand," the prince spat. "You don't have a father."

Zagreus is correct. Thanatos has no father.
