RoR gods reactions to you calling Poseidon a 💅Drama Queen💅

RoR and fem!Reader crack below the cut

Seated along the round table, various prominent figures of each pantheon waited, some more patiently than others, for the mortal standing before them to reveal what she had summoned them for.

[Name] cleared her throat, putting an end to the idle chatter that had previously filled the walls of the old-fashioned conference room. "I have called you to this meeting to discuss a matter of utmost importance."

Shiva rolled his neck, allowing his eyes to freely wander between the faces of the gods – all deemed to be high figures in their respective pantheon – some even belonging to the same one. And yet, there was one man missing.

Leaning his chair back, the God of Destruction balanced himself with two hands holding onto the edge of the table, whilst his remaining two rested behind his head. "Where's that sea deity?"

Shooting a glare in Shiva’s direction, [Name] resumed talking. “If you had not so rudely interrupted me you would have known why.”

The blue man merely rolled his eyes. He had long before grown used to her more… unmannerly way of addressing them. Her disrespectful attitude had at first irked him, and many other deities, but eventually whatever ill feelings they initially harboured toward her soon evolved into intrigue, and later friendship. Some even more than that.

Seeing how the god had not argued back, the human continued. "As for why Sea Boy isn’t here with us today, I didn’t invite him.”

Hades’ brows flickered and he paused his chess match with Zeus. “I presume this meeting concerns my brother?”

[Name] gave the God of the Underworld a curt nod. “I’ll just get straight to the point so to not further waste our time. Can we all come to common agreement that Poseidon is the biggest drama queen in history?"

Hades didn’t know what was more worrisome; her odd exclaim, or the fact that no one had so much as reacted to it. Have things like this truly become the norm?

Most eyes darted to Apollo, and then lingered there, before returning to her, obviously questioning her statement. However, [Name] did not yield under their distrustful stares but continued speaking without any less conviction. "Yes, sure. Some might argue that the twink has some dramatic traits as well."

Apollo craned his neck in her direction, no longer staring in the reflection of his hand mirror. "Why are we listening to her, again?"

“Because they’d rather be here than at one more of your lame parties.” Apollo furrowed his brows, but ultimately decided to just massage the tense muscles of his temples, not desiring to start a fruitless dispute with her.

“But we are not here to talk about Apollo, but Poseidon – the biggest drama queen I have ever encountered in my entire life.”

Beelzebub sighed, tapping his foot impatiently against the marble floor. He just wanted to return to his research. “How did you even come to such an irrational conclusion?”

Standing tall, [Name] placed her hands on her hips. “Irrational? Do you guys truly not see it?” Blank stares were shot in her direction, only Heracles and Ares had the decency to shake their heads.

“Well then, allow me to provide you with an example; If a fly were to land on that drama queen’s shoulder, he would not hesitate to drown all their villages, slaughter their children, and then feed their corpses to the nearest animal.”

Loki snickered, obviously finding some amusement in what he deemed to be an exaggerated story. [Name] ignored him and continued. “And then, to truly top it off, after exterminating an entire species he would just act as normal, as if his reaction was more than justifiable.”

“She does have a point,” the serene voice of Aphrodite spoke. “Poseidon’s reactions do tend to be quite… overbearing at times.”

Rosaline dragged a hand through her hair in hope that the motion would soothe her racing mind. “And I know this to be true because that fly is a metaphor for us humans. I literally bumped into him just the other day, and this bitch-”

A warning glare from Hades.

“This very fine gentleman acted like I gave him the bubonic plague.” Loki and Shiva broke into a fit of laughter. The Hindu god even toppled off his chair, but that didn’t seem to encourage him from continuously laughing his ass off.

[Name] rolled her eyes. “Yeah, yeah, continue howling all day long you buffoons, but I think I singlehandedly made him wish for a second Ragnarok.” This only made the duo double over, trying to choose between drying their tears or holding their stomachs. It was a good day for Shiva to have four arms.

Hermes, however, coaxed his brows. “Do you mean to tell us that you came in contact with Lord Poseidon without invoking his wrath?”

[Name] cocked her head to the side. “Didn’t I just tell you that he looked like he wanted to pierce me into a shish kebab?”

Hades moved his king one square forward on the chessboard, the slight click when the piece hit the wood gaining her attention. “That is not what he meant, my dear. If our brother is truly angry, he will not hesitate to kill whoever is around him. The fact that you are still alive indicates that he had no desire of ending your life.”

Odin nodded from the seat beside his son, who was staring out of the window, wishing for this conversation to come to an end.

"This!” [Name]’s sudden outburst caught the attention of everyone in the room, including the socially withdrawn God of Thunder. “This is what I mean when I call him dramatic! You have just grown used to his actions. Look, I don't mind his exaggerated reactions, but he needs a bit of variation.”

[Name] began pacing around the room, her back straight and chin held high, while holding a stick in her hand. Where did she even get that?

“Someone breathes the same air as me? Dead.” Everyone’s eyes widened.

She was imitating Poseidon.

“Someone accidentally steps on my foot? Dead. Someone has the audacity to look me straight in the eye? Dead.” She stopped and heaved a heavy sigh, “Like, come on. Try something new for once, please."

Zeus stroked his long beard. "Wait, let me get this straight. You mean to tell us that your problem with Poseidon is not his behaviour, but that it has grown old?"

[Name] slammed her hands against the table, making the glasses along the wine bottles on it shake with the sudden force. “Yes!”

“This meeting is over.” Hades declared, already walking away. It did not take long for the other deities to follow him, Loki and Shiva needing to crawl out from all their excessive laughing.

“Fine, go! But don’t come crying to me when you guys realize I was right!”

“We won’t,” cooed Zeus.

…

“Hades?”

“Yes, Zeus?”

The King of the Gods blinked, not believing his eyes. “Why is Poseidon drowning that entire meadow?”

Before the two deities stood their brother, sending wave after wave into a beautiful landscape of green hills and the most gorgeous of flowers.

Hades sighed, running a hand through his white hair. “To kill the flies.”

Zeus turned his head to his brother, already dreading his next answer. “Why?”

The King of the Underworld gulped, cursing that mortal for how correct she had been. “Because a fly had landed on his shoulder.”

Okay I want to highlight something about Loki because I really feel like a lot of people got him wrong.

This is Loki when Mankind has won for the first time and a god whom he didn't know personally has died.

He's pissed but more like "Shit did those hairless apes really manage to kill one of us ? They won't brag about it for long". However, we quickly see that he becomes quite chill about it.

And now just look at his reaction when Heracles died.

Clearly not the same. This is the first and only time so far we've seen Loki express genuine sadness. The anime even insists more on this with this shot

And whereas when Poseidon died, he was just annoyed, didn't hide it and quickly calmed down, here he contrasts radically by being completely mad and the way he tries to hide how this situation affects him

And that's why I highly doubt that his backstory will portray him as some kind of unredeemable twisted psycho. Because despite his views on Humanity, he's more human than he tries to appears and can actually care for other people.

I'm writing the saddest Bond fic in the world, and because it'll probably never get finished, I'm going to bullet point it here because I need people to cry with. It's 5000 words at the moment. I think I need it to be about 30,000.

After the events of NTTD, Q is grieving Bond. Privately, he is also grieving that Bond being the one who got away, or at least the one who would not stay. They slept together once, in the aftermath of Skyfall death, and as Q says in the fic, it was "the pinnacle of my years-long journey into vastly unrequited love."

After snapping at Mallory during a meeting, Mallory schedules Q some psychology appointments. There are snippets of these appointments throughout the fic.

Q throws out all his plants. Replaces them with sculptural bits and pieces from around the lab.

Over a year on from Bond's death, MI6 recruits a new 004. His name is Edward Jones. He's tall and lithe, with auburn hair, an excellent sense of humour, and no outwardly visible baggage. He takes an interest in Q.

But Q refuses -- categorically refuses -- to ever get involved with an agent again. That was an unspoken rule before Bond died, and now it's non-negotiable.

Except Q is no good at sticking to the rules. He's just as bad as Bond was, really. Edward is charming, and though he asks Q to dinner, he doesn't press after Q refuses him. Instead, perhaps having talked to Nomi or Moneypenny, he is simply there. All the time. He becomes a shoulder to lean on and a friend, despite all Q's attempts to distance himself.

But then...Mallory asks Q to help on a project that will reverse the effects of Heracles, and Q snaps. Already feeling a colossal amount of guilt for telling Bond it couldn't be fixed, Q cannot deal with the thought of coming up with a cure when he cannot administer it to the one person who deserved to be cured.

Distraught, stressed and full of fury at everything, he sleeps with Edward that night. And -- shock horror! -- sex works as an excellent temporary coping mechanism, so Q keeps sleeping with him. Against all his rules, he's given into his heart again.

“Who was he?” asks Edward, one day, as Q is making breakfast. / “Who was who?”/ “Whoever you’re trying to forget when you’re with me.”

“You’re a bastard,” snaps Q, another day, when Edward pushes too hard. / “Is that me you’re talking to, or him?”

After the above fight/angry sex/make up sex combo, Edward goes away on a mission and gets shot.

Q, reeling, doesn't visit him in hospital. Though he wants to, he thinks it's smarter to stay away. Best not get too attached (Oh, Q! we're crying, you're already attached!!!)

Edward, unsurprisingly does not take this well. “Enjoy living with your ghosts, Quartermaster,” he says, before going home to heal and get very drunk.

And maybe it's the getting shot bit, or maybe it's that they're making progress on a cure for Heracles, or maybe it's Moneypenny finally shaking Q until something comes loose, but Q cannot sleep. He feels sick about Edward. He feels awful. What kind of Quartermaster doesn't visit an injured agent? What kind of friend doesn't? What kind of lover, casual or not?

Plagued with guilt and realising he feels more for Edward than he ever intended to, Q turns up at arse-o-clock in the morning, in the rain to Edward's flat. Amongst other things, he says:

“He was an agent. Another Double-0." and

"I'm so sorry." and

“I spent nearly a decade of my life hiding that I loved him, from myself, him, and anyone else who might have wanted to hear. It’s the biggest regret I have. I don’t want to make the same mistakes again.”

Hot, passionate, intense, slow make up sex.

After a few more missions, Edward tells Q, "I'm finished. I enjoyed the job, but I only loved it because it led me to you."

They take a visit to Skyfall, where Q runs into Kincade and talks to Bond's grave where he says, among other things:

"Hello, James. I hope you’re getting some well-earned rest." and

“I love him. Eve told me you would want to hear that. I’m not so sure. You always were a bit of a possessive prick about the other agents having what was yours.” and

“I still love you. I think I will until the end of my days. It’ll be a privilege to carry you with me. Whatever small part of you I had.”

Q is in a daze most of that night. In the morning, he apologises to Edward for all the tears, and Edward replies:

“Never — and I do mean never — apologise for loving someone, especially not as well as you loved him."

Cue the I love yous and sex.

They return to London, where the Heracles cure has hit a roadblock. Q tells Mallory he wants nothing to do with the project anymore. However it turns out, it wasn't his burden to carry in the first place. He wants to be free of it.

The story ends in a quintessential English garden: Kendal in the spring. It's years later, and Edward brings Q a cup of tea in the garden, where Q is trying to read Les Misérables and failing. Instead, he's taking notes in the margins on hummingbirds.

They look up to see a red kite soaring through the air. Q things wistfully of Bond. It's a dull hurt, now, not the scraping raw thing that it was when he met Edward. Bond would probably enjoy Q remembering him in the wings of a bird of prey; always free.

Q still loves London, but he thinks he can imagine another life, a few years away yet, watching the birds in the Lake District and working in his shed, with Edward reading a book at his side.

FIN.

„Hera, while she was being nurtured by her parents, was raped by one of the Gigantes, Eurymedon, and she became pregnant and bore Prometheus. Zeus, after marrying his sister and learning of the event, punished Eurymedon by throwing him into Tartarus, and Prometheus, under the pretext of fire, was bound in chains.” (Scholion to Iliad 14.295)

„In the course of the fighting, Porphyrion launched an attack against Heracles and Hera. But Zeus inspired him with a lust for Hera, and when he tore her clothing and tried to rape her, she cried for help; and Zeus struck the Giant with his thunderbolt, and Heracles killed him with a shot from his bow.” (Apollodoros, Bibliotheke)

Quite the major change, isn't it? From retroactively punishing Eurymedon for a crime he committed against Hera in the past, to casually inciting Porphyrion to rape her in the middle of a battlefield, letting him go as far as to tear her clothes and only acting to stop him when she cries out for help.

Things I've learned about Ajax this week:

Heracles was his fairy godfather who blessed him with invulnerability

His myth of invulnerability predates Achilles'

Subsequently one of the earlier myths regarding his death was that Paris shot him in the heel with an Apollo-improved arrow

Other myths involved the Trojans simply burying him given they couldn't hurt him otherwise. If you can't stab a man into the Underworld, maybe just dig him door, shove him in, and block the way behind him.

His body being interred rather than cremated in the prevailing myths of his death by suicide might be a nod to that older version of his death

His method of suicide--burying the hilt of his sword in a mound of earth and then throwing himself on it--may also be a nod to earth being the only thing that can kill him. In this case, it killed him by wielding a sword.

#actually I've learned quite a bit more than this #but these were some of the fun ones #telamonian ajax #ajax the greater #it's funny I'd read a lot of essays about his death and had somehow missed this #like there is a lot of debate over why he was buried rather than cremated #I think it was Sophocles who suggested it was a punishment for the whole cow thing #but the cow thing wasn't part of every myth and Sophocles invented his motive for killing the cows #and interring bodies wasn't seen as a punishment #so yeah the idea that it's just like the only way to keep an invulnerable man down like just put him in the underworld and block his exit #tagamemnon

Hello again. XD Would you consider a Calamity Jane!Reader request for Buddha, Heracles, Lu Bu, Rudra? Got her in my brain now and she ain't fittin' to leave anytime soon. A women of action not words, tall, compassionate but crass. Strikes me as the painfully blunt type.

"Listen here stretch, I ain't got no time for yer gum flappin', either ya get to yer point or I'm puttin' some lead between your pretty lil' eyes."

If you want you can use my previous question with Artemis vs Clamity Jane and flip a coin to see who wins. XD I want you to have as much fun with it as it runs through my head.

No rush, please and thank you~!

With a warm apple pie~!

-You were no soft and delicate lady; you were a woman ready to throw hands with anyone who would dare disrespect you; many learned that the hard way when they tried and quickly got either an ass beating or a bullet lodged somewhere in their body.

-You kept to yourself in Valhalla, as everything you needed was provided for you, so there was no need to work hard any longer, but you felt bored just sitting around, so you started a large garden, something you were proud of.

-There were times you missed riding on horses and exploring, scouting out new territories, and you would be able to sate those cravings for a while, getting a horse, borrowed from one of the Valkyries, and just go out and ride, feeling the freedom of just being out and running free.

-Those who lived near to you respected you, as you respected them and protected them against those who just wanted to take, despite having everything they would need.

-Many, humans and gods, learned to leave your little corner of Valhalla alone, mainly because you wouldn’t hesitate to shoot them, and you weren’t known for warning shots.

-It was a time of celebration in Valhalla, after humanity had won Ragnarok, earning their salvation and gaining the respect of the gods.

-You had fought as well, against a huntress goddess, Artemis, who, in your opinion, was one of the few people you respected. And you had greeted her, once all those who had fallen, had been returned to life, with a warm handshake and a hug, welcoming her back.

-Artemis respected you, as you bested her, and the two of you became friends as well as rivals, constantly having competitions and trading wins between the two of you.

-Your hard-won victory in Valhalla had gained quite a lot of attention, as they were all recorded, so those who fought earlier could see all the later fights, and you found yourself being courted by a weirdo, or at least in your book he was a weirdo.

-Buddha- He learned the hard way that you don’t like to be snuck up on. He saw you speaking with Brunnhilde, and he grinned, wanting to ask you questions about your fight, as you were very impressive with your abilities to dodge and shoot at the same time. When he wrapped his arms around you, he quickly found himself on the ground, holding his jaw after you had whirled around and delivered a haymaker, pulling out your pistol at the same time, pointing it at him. He grinned, flirting, “If I had known you liked it rough I would have tried harder.” You cocked your pistol, your eyelid twitching before Brunnhilde stopped you, “None of that now.” Buddha did make it up to you, taking you out for a drink. He wanted to know more about your feisty side.

-Hercules- He was like a dog, if you had to describe him, big, happy, kinda dumb looking, but he was pretty damn cute. When he approached you, asking you for a fight, he began to ramble, praising your fight and going over it. His enthusiasm was pretty cute, but it got old pretty quickly as you grabbed his top, pulling him down into a kiss to shut him up, “Stop flapping your gums- if were gonna fight then let’s get to it!” his lips were stuck in the puckered position, completely shocked on how bold you were before he was quick to catch up you, giving you a shy look, “If I win can I get another kiss?” you couldn’t help but smirk up at him, silently challenging him. There was something exciting about you!

-Lu Bu- He had approached you wanting a fight, wanting to test his strength against your own, trouble is, he did it while you were in the middle of enjoying a nice cold beer at your favorite saloon in Valhalla. You waved at the bartender, signaling for another drink and he was surprised when you pushed it to him, “Drink up- ain’t no fighting happening today. I ain’t nowhere near sober enough to give you what you want.” You were so unlike the women of his time, soft spoken, reserved, you were loud, crass, and to be completely honest, he liked it! He downed the drink and you gave him a smirk, “Is that a challenge, boy?” the bartender could only roll his eyes as he prepared the glasses for your next drinking contest.

-Rudra- When you spotted a god hanging out by your front gate as you were coming home, you glared slightly, wondering if you had another fight, “Hey- what you doing here?” Rudra turned and you had to admit, he was quite the looker as he gave you a friendly smile, “Hello there Y/N, I wanted to come and see you. I have some questions about your fighting technique that I wanted to ask about.” He didn’t seem like he was here to fight, but you weren’t completely sure just yet. He was expecting you to invite him in but surprised him with your crass nature, “Don’t know what you want to ask about it- it’s simple, dodge and don’t get hit and hit the other bastard first.” He couldn’t help but grin, seeing your simple way of thinking about a fight. It took a few visits before you invited Rudra into your home, finding his persistence admirable while he was elated he was finally getting through to you.

Greeking Out

Heracles and Pericles with help from bold Persephone Put monocles on barnacles and picked up the telephone. They called on wrathful Ares to stop making such cacophony; He shot them baleful glares, but he put down his saxophone.

Nobody was hassling that one-eyed brute Polyphemus Who'd brought back from vacation several taxidermied stiff emus (He'd flown out to Australia with kindly Aristophanes, But they'd returned by ship - he'd learned he did not like aeroplanes).

Golden wings and laurel wreaths adorned victorious Nike, Though she, instead of flying, had arrived by motorbike, And lending out his learnéd words was wise old master Socrates, Who'd marked all of his precious scrolls with custom-made bookplates.

Aristotle shared chipotle peppers with Euripides; Proud Achilles danced quadrilles near Poseidon's rip tides; Aphrodite out of spite keyed Apollo's chariot; And Hades donned his shades whilst some satyrs started a riot.

Poetry all flows from those fair children of Mnemosyne, The tragical, the lyrical, the comic and the obscene; These lines I write are epic, so my words are all Calliope's, But if you thought I'd use them well… Well, I'd say you had too high hopes.

Please do a new Heracles x reader. Yours one shots of him are so great 😭❤️

Thank you 😊 🤍 he’s my favorite 🤍 and thank you for requesting 🤍♥️

Fighting along side one another.

Facing foes and being triumphant.

A power couple.

Nothing could be better.

Handsome, tall and strong with a passion for justice.

A dreamy god.

Smiling sweetly at the love his life as he wraps his arms around them in a loving and tight embrace, then placing his lips upon theirs as the heavens shine brightly upon them.

Odin, king of the Norse gods was reading a book as the ravens were sleeping quietly beside him in a well cushioned straw basket. Like clock work, the doors to his study opened to reveal his daughter with bags under his eyes with a tired look upon her face and without looking up from his book the all father knew what it was about.

“Another dream, again?”

“…Yes.”

“About Hercules?”

“…Yes, father.”

Sighing in frustration as he closed his book and made tea for his daughter who had recently been having rather intense dreams steadily for the past month. Odin knew this would continue until his daughter faced her feelings, making tea wasn’t a problem but if this was going to become a forever thing Odin had thought of taking matters into his own hands.

“You should face your feelings.”

“That’s crazy! What if he says no.”

“Then you move on. Simple.”

Handing over the tea Odin gave his advice and sat back on his chair as (Name) became flustered at her fathers suggestion while feeling sad at the thought of Hercules rejecting her.

True, the two had been friends but something was stirring in (Name)’s heart and the feeling was becoming stronger each time she saw him.

The next morning, (Name) sought out someone who could help her problem.

There was only one person who could help.

“That’s easy. IGNORE HIM!”

In the gardens of Odin’s palace, Loki gave his words of wisdom, while it wasn’t the route (Name) was looking for she thought it was a good answer to her problem.

After all, Loki, her cousin, wouldn’t steer her wrong.

“Ignore …him?”

“That’s what I said.”

“But…how does that solve the problem?”

“Easy. You’re playing hard to get. You ignore him and he’ll come chasing after you.”

Loki clarified while floating mid air lazily as he did so (Name) found Loki’s advice to be helpful and so she decided she would ignore her love interest.

It beats confessing your heart out and then getting rejected.

Test time.

A few weeks later, the gods were holding a meeting about the affairs of what was going in Valhalla. While walking to meeting Loki and ,his protege, (Name) walked and talked together.

When Loki saw the god of war and the Envoy of Justice walking and talking together heading towards the meeting infront of them, Loki gave (Name) the look, “This your chance. The test starts now.”

(Name) nodded her head convinced she was ready to ignore the handsome god.

However.

“(Name)! You came! How’s it going?”

Hercules, ever observant, had noticed (Name) and smiled his famous smile followed by a little wave making (Name)’s heart skip a beat and her mind jumble up.

“Everything is going well! How are you? Are you drinking plenty of water? You look well.”

Loki watched his protege crumble by Hercules sweet smile, the plan to ignore Hercules was out the window making the trickster god pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration as he walked ahead leaving the two talking to one another.

“Girl is going to have more dreams.”

“Had another dream?”

“…Yes, father.”

“About Hercules?”

“…Yes.”

Sighing Odin made his daughter tea and the two talked until the doors to his study opened to see Thor walk in.

“Had another dream about losing Mjnolir?”

“…Worse. I dreamed of fighting then it switched to (Name) marrying. Which was boring.”

While making one cup of tea and pouring his son a cup of mead Odin heard Thor’s dream and knew it wasn’t coincidence now.

“Marrying?! Who was it?! Was he tall? Red hair?! Did he say anything about justice?!”

Most people wouldn’t touch Thor much less shake him, but (Name) wasn’t scared of her brother and shook him for answers hoping it was Hercules she was marrying.

“I didn’t see what he looked like. I woke up from that boring dream.”

Thor calmly spoke as he sister shook him harsher now telling him, “Remember! Think back! Think hard! It could be a telling of the future.” Thor’s face never changed as his sister did so and he didn’t speak either.

Thor thought the dream was nonsense.

Zeus was enjoying the night sky while enjoying a nice cup of tea. The door to his study also opened to see a tired Ares and Hercules.

“Spiders and a romantic dream about (Name)?”

“…Yes.”

Both Ares and Hercules said in unison with bags under the eyes. Ares was having an awful dream about spiders and Hercules had another romantic dream about (Name).

Rather intense this time.

“Hermes, three cups of tea. Please.”

Quick as ever Hermes had a table ready with five cups of tea ready, Zeus asked why there was five cups only for Apollo to walk in with a cheerful smile.

Oh.

“Did I hear someone was having troublesome dreams?”

As everyone sat down at the table Zeus explained that Hercules was having recurring dream about (Name), Zeus didn’t mention Ares dream about spiders. After hearing the romantic dream from Hercules, kindly laughing Apollo answered giving him a stunning prophecy.

“You’re both having these dreams because you’re going to be married soon. Simple.”

Taken back Hercules wasn’t expecting that answer at all.

“They are both having the same dreams? What great news, we should prepare for the wedding.”

“Wait a minute Hermes-“

“Yes, the sooner the better. We should invite everyone in Valhalla.”

“Wait a second, Apollo-“

“Where is that blasted phone when you need it? I must call Odin right away. We shall merge our pantheons at once!”

“Wait a minute now, Zeus-“

“Say less, I shall make sure we have the finest wine.”

“Oh no, Ares. We’ll let Dionysus take care of that. You make sure you look clean and cut. Now, we must inform Aphrodite.”

“Absolutely, Apollo. Not to mention lord Poseidon and Hades.”

Hercules watched as everyone was already starting to make plans for his supposed wedding. Everytime he tried to object his family interrupted with plans, Hercules was happy they were willing to plan everything.

However.

“Excuse me! I would like to remind everyone I haven’t ..(Name) and I haven’t confessed our love yet.”

Apollo, Hermes, Ares, and Zeus stopped what they were doing and looked at a flustered Hercules as he had a dash of red on his face.

It was silent for awhile until Apollo spoke up.

“Well hurry up and confess already. What are you waiting for? I just told you your fate.”

“So, gold and white invitations?”

“Absolutely, Hermes. That’s in style.”

Apollo and Hermes went right back to planning Hercules wedding with Zeus and Ares agreeing or disagreeing with Apollo’s vision of what the wedding should look like.

Hercules didn’t say anything else and let his family at it as he sipped his tea. Thinking of how he would eventually, one day soon confess his feelings for (Name).

Then, he would think of how he would he propose.

Day #2, labor #2! Here we go! ❤️🤟🏛⚱️😁

"The second Labour which he undertook was the slaying of the Lernaean hydra, springing from whose single body were fashioned a hundred necks, each bearing the head of a serpent. And when one head was cut off, the place where it was severed put forth two others; for this reason it was considered to be invincible, and with good reason, since the part of it which was subdued sent forth a two-fold assistance in its place. 6 Against a thing so difficult to manage as this Heracles devised an ingenious scheme and commanded Iolaüs to sear with a burning brand the part which had been severed, in order to check the flow of the blood. So when he had subdued the animal by this means he dipped the heads of his arrows in the venom, in order that when the missile should be shot the wound which the point made might be incurable."

I know your ideal combo. Fate game with Bayonetta gameplay/crossover. It’s got the style, it’s got the flair, it’s got the substance for those that want it. And more importantly it’s got crazy amounts of ridiculous that wraps around to be awesome. Plus, it’d be fun to see Bayonetta’s cast in a Fate situation.

Close!

My ideal TM dream game is specifically playing as Ryougi Shiki with a gimmick similar to DMC5 Nero where she constantly attaches various puppet arms with different abilities from Touko like Nero burns through Nico's Devil Breakers. Then to burn Devil Trigger meter rather than transform she goes into Death Perception mode like Raiden in MGR with the weakpoints in Blade Mode being death lines, tracing all of them always kills the enemy, but since going into Death Perception doesn't slow down time, (Shiki has no super speed) she has to combo the shit out of them and then slice up all the death lines one by one as they're vulnerable from being combo'd.

Shiki can also clash attacks by attacking at the same time an enemy does to stun the enemy's attack (but putting herself at risk if she mistimes it) and then quickly going into Death Perception and cutting the enemy up while they're reeling, and she can of course cut down attacks (even projectiles from magic or shields) by going into Death Perception mode and killing the attacks.

___

But of course like a good DMC game you also need two more playable characters and one secret character to unlock.

Unlockable character#1 is Tohno Shiki who can slow down time (he has a faster moving body) while his Death Perception is turned on, but it burns HP instead of a special / mana bar, so if he uses his MEoDP he needs to finish fights fast or he'll run out of health. Since he doesn't have Ryougi's puppet arms or sword mastery, rather than varying abilities he has Dante's Trick teleports and Nero's Table Hopper to make up for the shorter reach of his knife and to show off his speed.

Unlockable character#2 is Emiya Shirou (duh) who is the weapon master character with a billion swappable weapons like Dante. He has Kanshou and Bakuya, Gae Bolg, Aestus Estus, Heracles' Axe-sword, his bow for ranged attacks, and Excalibur Image (uses DT), but a special feature he has is being able to project a copy of a weapon held by the enemy with a limited moveset by scanning it with Trace On, swapping it out with a new projection if he traces another weapon giving him the most complex skillset. Plus if he fully charges a bow shot the arrow becomes Caladbolg and explodes, tossing enemies in an AOE into the air.

The Secret Character is Aozaki Aoko, whose superior strength and power lets her ragdoll enemies out of their moves like Nero with his Devil Bringer, while her magic bullets and beams let her annihilate enemies from range too, like Lady with the Kalina-Ann. Absurdly overpowered, meant to bully the entire game for fun.

___

Paid DLC character for the Special Edition is Gudako playing a summoner style like DMC V, including the mechanic where she has to deal the killing blow to an enemy herself like V does. Edmond Dantes acts as Shadow doing all the major attacks as well as slides across the ground as a shadow with Gudako riding him to dash and pulling her around to dodge. Nursery Rhyme flapping around in book form acts as Griffon, firing all the projectiles + spells, as well as flapping in midair while Gudako hangs on to her in order to double jump and fall slowly. She can also read Nursery Rhyme while walking in order to recharge DT and even command seals if done long enough, though she will be unsafe and will need Dantes to cover for her. Avicebron summoning a golem acts as Nightmare, where Gudako must burn DT for Avicebron to summon a large golem to independently attack enemies and smash stuff onscreen. Gudako can also hop on to its back along with Avicebron to avoid damage.

While Avicebron is invincible due to being a DT move, Dantes and Nursery Rhyme have their own health. Gudako can forcibly recall them to her by dashing or dodging with Dantes or double jump / glide / read with Nusery Rhyme, otherwise when she commands them to attack they will attack where they are and move towards the enemy that's locked on to. If any of them are knocked out, Gudako loses a command seal to revive them, which recharges over time or by reading Nursery Rhyme and overcharging mana.

Second DLC is Mash, who is a heavy weapon type character with slow but very powerful swings of her shield and Dante's Royal Guard. Perfectly timing blocks builds her power, then Royal Release Mana Burst unleashes all the built up strength with a shield bash that will send even bosses flying. Since she's a shield type of character Mash can also do things like charge with the shield to beat out attacks and knock enemies down while having difficulty turning. So that she's not always stuck being slow, Mash can throw the shield and temporarily swap to a lighter and faster hand to hand combat style until the shield bounces back. Mash can also grapple and brutalize enemies like Nero, because Nasu may have quickly moved past Mash's "unappealing" temper and brutality but I never did

#The standards may seem impossibly high but actually I'd take anything from TM as long as the combat is fun

Previous anon here:

Hmm agreed, it's not JUST her fault but it sucks that our current cultural landscape keeps falling into the same trap of trying to make something woke, feminist, progressive, what have you but winds up so much worse instead

It's the same issue with the disney remakes, failing so hard to update the story when its original incarnation was more feminist without even trying. For example: I know a lot of people love the 2015 remake of Cinderella, and I've seen people say it's the best live-action adaptation but I will NEVER forget that, while the movie hammers home the lesson "be kind, always" they had the nerve to insert a line that says something like: It's a good thing Cinderella's stepmother was cruel, because otherwise she never would've met the prince and like EXCUSE ME?!

I think MOST people would rather have a safe home-environment where you weren't bullied, demeaned, and forced to work over the vague possibility of a special someone coming to rescue me from this situation...

Anyway this was about lore olympus... XD

i think you have a really valid point! and it circles back to how rachel is just one of many people who insists on a flawed perception of something, thinking it's "better" because it's "modern"

like with rachel's lolita fetish or the gross racism within lore olympus, this really does speak to a wider issue - the fact that webtoons promotes the content and publishes it to such a wide audience, who is so often comprised of younger teens who don't yet realize why this is an issue. i can only imagine ancient greek women who adored the hymn of demeter, finding out that modern times vilifies her and glorifies persephone's kidnapping as some kind of romance. and there are ways to portray things in a modern setting, or to create romance in a story that is more or less devoid of it; the trick is, you need to know the originals to make a retelling. one of my favourite movies is disney's hercules, which is so far from the original lore of heracles it's pretty much an entirely separate story - but it's done with such love and so many nods to the canon myth that you can acknowledge this is an offshoot inspired by the myths.

rachel's comic is just so utterly devoid of any kind of love for the original myths and legends. she uses such surface-level interpretations of the characters that removes any complexity from their motivations, and thus the story as a whole. hades and persephone are given depth, supposedly, but zeus being forced to kill his own father, or why he's a sex addict, gets thrown into the trash for cheap shots. demeter's trauma in being made for war, watching her sister torn apart, watching her mother killed, sexually abused by two of her friends, and abused / vilified by hades for centuries, who then goes on to marry her teenage daughter, is tossed away for demeter to be "overbearing mom eugh."

like, rachel wants all the modern glitz and glam of the modern era, but that's it. she does not want to tell a story - she wants to draw her ocs in hot clothes having bad sex.

#answered #anti lo #anti lore olympus #i am a FIRM believer than myths and legends can be retold in modern context #and i've personally read some absolutely stellar modern retellings! #rachel is not one of them lol

Okay but you know how many Greek heroes were given impossible tasks to complete line Heracles having to complete all those labors? Imagine one of those tasks is having to babysit the children of the king and queen of the underworld for just one hour. It seems easy, until they meet Polins kids.

So funny thing I kinda based Gareth off Heracles, soooo

Gareth and Hyacinth were engaged to be married but he had been hiding a secret, which in turn led to him lying to Hyacinth and it sadly made it look like he was only marrying Hyacinth to gain immortality. He came clean about it, and Hyacinth still wanted to marry him after, but Anthony found out. He ended up demanding Gareth do 8 impossible tasks to prove his worth to marry Hyacinth.

Gareth completed them one by one and when it came time for the final task Anthony was getting nervous. Now he couldn't outright kill Gareth (he really didn't want to anymore either) as he was still Simon's champion and Anthony was a god of his word. He just needed to make the last task an absolute knockout so he knows that Gareth truly loves Hyacinth. He needs to put someone else in charge of the task that will put Gareth through the ringer, who loves and is protective of Hyacinth.

Anthony's eyes fell onto the rulers of the Underworld, the red headed queen to be precise. Perfect.

"I need you to let Gareth babysit your kids."

Penelope raised an eyebrow, "You need me to do what?"

"The final task. I'm thinking about having Gareth babysit your kids," Anthony said.

Penelope crossed her arms and shot him a look. "Be careful with your next words Anthony, but why are you making the final impossible task babysitting my kids?"

Anthony held up his hands in a wait kind of gesture. "I'm not saying they're bad Pen, but you know your kids would run circles around any non-family babysitter."

It was true to. His four niblings from Colin and Penelope were generally good kids but all four of them had inherited their mother's brains. This often left them smarter than the adult that was supposed to be watching them. They were also frankly scary in their own right like their parents.

Agatha, the oldest of four children was a gentler version of her parents. While her parents judged souls fairly and justly based on how they lived their lives Agatha was more merciful towards souls. Just don't try to take advantage of her mercy because Agatha also believes in vengeance should the situation call for it.

Thomas has interests in the rivers his Aunt Felicity presides over, specifically the River of Pain that serves as a protective border around their home from the chasm that is Tartarus. He has also charmed many of the ghosts in his parents' army, often seen training with them.

Jane who is the most like her mother in personality, power, and looks. The little girl can make the most beautiful plants and then you find out each one she creates has the capability to kill. Jane's favorite and first plant she created being the Venus Flytrap. A plant that uses flowers and a sweet-smelling nectar to trap its prey between its jaw like leaves. Also, like her sister if Jane deems vengeance necessary then may the gods help you. Anthony just knows the mortals are gonna curse future criminals with both their names on their lips.

Finally little Georgie who liked dreams. He liked seeing how dreams affected mortals from the hope and happiness of a good dream to the terrors and alertness nightmares bring. Anthony has seen him before going around the ghosts who died in their sleep and asking them what their last dreams were.

All of this mixed together and they were perfect to run Gareth ragged.

"Plus," Anthony said trying to get Penelope to at least think about the idea. "We all know Hyacinth has been itching to move to the Court of the Underworld for a while now. If Gareth truly wants to marry her, shouldn't he at least see his potential future home? Shouldn't he get to know some of the family?"

Plus, if the kids accidently kill him then Gareth doesn't have far to go then does he?

Penelope bit her lip debating it. Generally, she does like Gareth and remembers the little boy who followed around his older cousin Simon eager to please. She also remembers that little boy is now the man who lied to someone very dear to her.

"What are the terms?" Penelope asked.

"Gareth has to babysit your kids for 24 hours without any help," Anthony said. "If he can do that and still wants to marry Hyacinth then he will have my blessing and immortality. He fails if he goes for help, hurts your children in any way, or leaves."

Penelope stared Anthony down before letting out a sigh. "Alright, but I'm coming for both of you if he pulls out a weapon on my children."

Anthony bowed, "Thank you Penelope."

Later that day Penelope came home to her children. "Children, Mama has a favor to ask of you."

#there's the polin kids #agatha and jane were partially based on the furies aka where the vengeance part comes in #thomas came to me through the trope of second sons leading the warriors of the kingdom mixed with the underworlds rivers #finally george came through because i remembered hypnos the god of sleep and that led to dreams #gareth succeeds btw but he looks half dead when his future nibblings are done with him #spring's rebirth #polin #implied #hyareth #agatha bridgerton #thomas bridgerton #jane bridgerton #george bridgerton #bridgerton

Velehk has a gun! It didn't go well.

This was an idea that popped up in my mind so there it is! Velehk (and his crew) meets Bell, my oc that got shot by him while flying in the sky lol (yes she has wings)

this was largely inspired by this piece by @ego-osbourne! Velehk, Ego, the ship, Caspian(the captured altmer in the first panel), and Salt In The Wound all belong to him!

Heracles(the one the drags Caspian away) belongs to @mellowscrolls and Calamity(the lady behind Ego in the last panel) belongs to @metallic-scaled-scarf!

Hope you enjoy!

Cyborg 009 BGOOParts Delete (2020) - Volume 3

This manga is clearly meant to be binged and not read extremely slowly like I've been doing, so I'll try to read more at a time to do things properly. I'm still really frustrated that this is such a rehash of tired material. It might be acceptable if this was a reboot, but it's supposed to be more like a sequel/continuation so...

Ch. 15

The monologuing continues! Apollon and Joe talk about their respective squads, what makes them similar and different. Joe emphasizes the fact that the numbers cyborgs resent being made and plan to eradicate all of Black Ghost's cyborgs from the face of the Earth.

Helena asks Francoise to help her stop the fighting, but Francoise says that she can't because she doesn't want to abort the mission. Helena knocks Francoise out and turns into her dark, Artemis form, complete with creepy looking wings jutting out of her cyborg spine. They drew her all sensual this chapter which made me kinda uncomfortable lol.

007, 002, and 006 fight the lesser Mythos cyborgs in the background. They're not given much to do and it's hard to care about their part of the story.

Ch. 16

This chapter was straight up incomprehensible for me. Not only do they shout out some new attack name every two seconds, but half of them aren't even in Japanese or English. Also, a lot of the characters use old timey Japanese. At this point I'm just hear to admire the art.

Artemis' body is now the Dolphin apparently. What is this Arpeggio of Blue Steel??

At least 005 and 008 got some screentime this chapter. Every time 008 does stuff outside of the water I'm like "he's just a dude" lol. The Aquaman conundrum...

Ch. 17

Geronimo's battle wraps up with the Minotaur dude. DAMN that guy was annoying. I think he said "The Dark Labyrinth" about 50 million times. I was so pissed off having to read it over and over lol. Like...shut up already (thankfully, he did).

I really love how Pyunma has been drawn by this artist. He's come a long way. He acknowledged how limited he is outside of the water in this chapter, which I appreciated. Chang comes to his aid.

Ch. 18

Apollon monologues himself to death lol. The dialogue is sooo bad in this manga. They keep repeating the same phrases ad nauseum and it feels cheesy for them to be ranting so much during a battle. Just have them fight in silence and monologue after or something.

In addition to the dialogue being cringey, the action isn't really good either. The Mythos cyborgs keep dying and I keep thinking "wait...how'd they die??" It's not drawn clearly at all. Apollon gets shot up and then set on fire somehow, but they didn't draw Joe doing any of that so I'm like ???

Ch. 19

Okay, Hippo Man making 007 melt was pretty disturbing body horror, I gotta say. 004 then easily takes him out in a pretty boring battle. Hippo man went on and on about his "true name" and they made "kaba/baka" puns. Hey Cyborg 009, aren't comic relief characters supposed to be...funny?

Artemis is pissed at Joe for killing Apollon, but what did she think was gonna happen? This is such a blah retread.

Ch. 20

Lion dude turns into Heracles (which looks like a guy wearing a lion fur and wielding clubs). The cyborgs all gather for their final battle (aside from Artemis probably)

Who was the hairy dude in the beginning? I'm sure I'm just supposed to know who is his but I forgot lol. It's so hard to follow this manga when no one's documented it on the 009 wiki yet boohoo

Joe looked pretty badass showing up at the end there ngl (plus the shippers probably like to see him carrying 002 like that)

Ch. 21

Okay, this last bit was interesting (finally). They talked about how the numbers cyborgs have already defeated Black Ghost and are now just cleaning up their ooparts. Heracles disagrees and says that the Mythos cyborgs ARE Black Ghost because they're following through on their mission.

I had to remind myself what ooparts are. It stands for "Out of Place" parts. It's supposedly an American term, but I've never heard of it. It's related to cryptozoology and refers to anachronistic artifacts. I guess the Mythos cyborgs kinda fit that, but instead of being new stuff in olden times, they're old stuff in modern times? IDK. I wonder if OOParts is a well known concept in Japan or just this mangaka's hobby?

GDI Helen showing up at the last second to resurrect everyone is cheating >:/ now this arc will never end!

I like learning random stuff from manga. Heracles kept bringing up the Nemean lion so I looked it up and basically it's a lion whose fur was impervious to weapons. Never heard of that myth before! With the added context I appreciated Heracles' design more.

The mangaka's fanart sketches at the end were really charming, I liked their little self portrait too (they didn't need to draw 008's OG design though -cringe-)
