#hermes is a good adoptive dad

[mythsandheather]

Inspired by @raedshadowlegends post on which characters would be pro or anti vax I did one on who I think is and is not for the gays. Shitty image quality, explanations as follows:

DOES NOT SUPPORT PRIDE/LGBTQ+

Persephone: Hades hates it so she does too. Also she’s attack all manner of marginalised people already in thinly veiled hate crimes, so this isn’t surprising for her.

Hades: uses slurs on a regular basis and named gay marriage in the underworld, micro-aggressions Morpheus all the time

Hera: same as Hades, just not as open about it. Trying to get gay marriage banned on Olympus. It’s not working.

Apollo: sometimes whispers slurs when he thinks no one will hear him and kick his ass

Kronos/Rhea: Hades inherited it from them

Daphne: friends with Persephone, toxic to Thanatos, you do the math.

Eros: gay coded but in a Shane Dawson way

Hecate: is a lesbian and trying to convince herself she’s not in case Hades fires her or Persephone turns her into a basket

DOES SUPPORT PRIDE/LGBTQ+

Hermes: cool with everyone. Remembers pronouns the best.

Amphitrite: her and Poseidon have a gay bar

Hypnos: queer and a supportive dad

Artemis: lesbian. Calls Apollo out on his shit. Hasn’t told Persephone for good reason.

Poseidon: him and amphitrite have a gay bar

Minthe: railed Demeter at a pride parade

Athena: goes to pride alone

Psyche: new to the concept of pride but loves it so far

Demeter: got railed by Minthe at a pride parade

Thanatos: does drag to cope

Morpheus: does her best to educate others

Ares: bi but hasn’t told Hera cuz she’ll disown him

Zeus: king of the gays. Gay marriage is legal because of him.

Eris: owns many many many queer sexy nightclubs

OTHER

Dionysus: only a baby now but will one day be a holy queer terror to his shitty adopted parents

Hephaestus: not bothered by what anyone does, will just say “hey, good for you”.

Leuce: doesn’t get the concept of pride but wants everyone to be happy equally

Thetis: wants everyone to be miserable equally

Chiron: doesn’t support pride as much as you’d think a mental health professional would, but she also says a lot of things you wouldn’t think a good mental health professional would say.

Aphrodite: in her own business but as the goddess of love, sees no reason to object to pride.

Hebe: wants to be just like her mom but also thinks she might be pan and nonbinary and isn’t sure what to do

Hestia: makes Athena go to pride alone bc she’s busy sucking up to H+P.

Should I do more graphs like this with my undeniably correct opinions?

•a few weeks after piper started dating shel, they were at a park when piper realized there were karpos in a nearby field. She tried to shoo them away, but Shel just said "oh, those dont really hurt you, its ok." Thats how they found out shel could see through the Mist.

Do you think that people ever get Hermes confused for Peter Pan and Jack Frost when they first meet him in PJO? If you look at Disney's Peter Pan and then Rankin Bass' Jack Frost, you can kind of see the elf like looks that Hermes is kind of known for. Then there's the mischievousness and the flying.

If he of course leans into that with his appearances with mortals. Maybe that's why he tries to be more grey and adult looking like a 20 or 30 something professional? Like if he were to appear young, some mortal would say, "Oh, no, it's Peter Pan!" He's real! His Lost Boys can't be too far behind. I'm not letting him whisk me off to Neverland!" Then they run, Hermes is just rolling his eyes and going really? Before he chases them so Zeus can punish them. Random thought, I guess. I know I have awful humor and weird ideas. Thank you for reading.

Hey Anon! Sorry it took me so long to get to this; it got buried at the bottom of my inbox.

You know, I assumed that Hermes looked like he was in his 20-30s because of two reasons: 1. because that was a decent age to look as when he's talking to his kids (seeing your dad the same age as you has got to be weird/uncomfortable lol) and 2. because that's the age-range that he feels - like late 20-30s is about the age that you are when you have kids and your parents are still alive and interfering in your life, which kinda describes the situation that Hermes is in.

But this? This explains so much oh my goodness. I can totally see Hermes lowkey starting Peter Pan and Jack Frost rumors when he's in his more mischievous moods. I love this idea. Also Hermes is one of the younger Olympian gods, so it makes sense that he makes more of an effort to appear older in order to be taken more seriously.

Tho imagine that Hermes appears to his youngest kids as Peter Pan or Jack Frost and helps them out, pretending he's a character in their books? Ofc he has to stop when they get older and start to question it bc of the no-interference rules. Hermes screwing with his kids (in a fun way) while being a good father (by godly standards?) Yesss. Also aren't some of the Peter Pan/Jack Frost lore based on the kids making a wish? I feel like that could be interpreted as prayers by kids, which would give Hermes an arguing point if he ever gets in trouble for interfering.

Thank you so much for this. It was a wonderful idea. I have adopted it as one of my headcanons. I may write a fic about it.

PJO x Batman(Batfam)

Alfred Pennyworth: Alright, first things first. This man would be Chiron. In a heartbeat. At first I was thinking Dionysus, but Bruce fits more with Dionysus. He's reliable, considerate, and lends a helping hand if the kids ever need it. Also a horse bottom half would be fucking awesome. Alfred could kick so much butt.

Bruce Wayne: Dionysus. He is camp counselor. He is the dramatic one. He would fuck with the kids by saying he's their father, just so they could get him whatever he wanted. He holds no malicious intent behind this, and only wants to mess around with them. He will apologize if it hurts some of the kids. AND he is a dramatic emo. Case in point.

Dick Grayson: When I think ab him the first thing I see in my mind's eye is acrobat. Responsible older brother, dutiful, chaotic. At first I was thinking Athena, but THEN I was like wait- someone else is Athena's son. Not that Athena can't have two sons but it don't fit. He's Apollo's son. Ball of sunshine, can hold a wicked good tune, and kicks ass. A punch you least expect from someone who is so nice and kind.

Helena Wayne: Her dad is literally Dionysus, so people underestimate her. She's seen as the party girl, the rich spoiled kid who can't defend herself. Then next thing you know you're in the infirmary because she knocked you out. She is a theater kid like her dad, and tends to instill madness into those that go against her, sort of driving them insane. If they don't get medical attention right away. It pisses people off when she plays the part of a helpless rich girl and then suddenly has a powerful punch. But she is a good contender for Artemis.

Barbara Gordon: How can she not be Hermes daughter? She has the brains and the wits, but is in the background feeding all the Bats information. She keeps things running and helps Bruce not burn something to the ground, also helps Alfred keep his sanity. Technically, she could be considered camp counselor with how well things are run under her guidance and advice. She may have all the information, but only gives certain bits out for free. She also has hella blackmail on her family if they ever decide to cross her.

Jason Todd: Hella Ares vibes at first, but beneath that this man has strategy. Don't let his blind hatred for Joker fool you, he knows he has to understand a battle first and foremost. His loathing for Joker only gets in the way with clown related things, but he truly is Athena's son. He's well read and observes a battlefield, pointing out many vantage points so he can stay out of line of sight until the perfect moment.

Kate Kane: Artemis' daughter. She hunts down her enemies, and sticks to hiding in plain sight. She may not use a bow, but she has other ways to hunt her target without one. Quiet and strong, able to keep herself hidden until she can properly attack.

Tim Drake: Athena's son, like Jason. He's known as the one who comes up with the plans and often gets the others in the family to excecute him. He's the brainiac. It's known at a young age he found out who Batman and Robin were. He looked up to Batman. He followed Batman. He used detective skills to figure things out that adults hadn't even tired to. He's the mastermind. No, Babs is.

Turner Hayes: Aphrodite's son. He's pretty and uses that to his advantage. Others think he's the spoiled adopted son of Bruce Wayne, but he is nothing like what the media says about him. Regardless of how he may look he is rather cunning and smart, but it's hidden beneath a pretty face. The police didn't believe he was doing detective work because he didn't look like someone who would be able to do that, and they were wrong.

Stephanie Brown: Steph is trying to prove herself. She may not be seeking revenge, but she believes that she needs to prove herself in delivering justice like the rest of her family. Nemsis' daughter. She believes in doing the right thing, even if the right thing at that moment seems like the worst thing someone could do.

Harper Row: Nemesis' daughter. She doesn't feel right living in a world where there are bullies around. Harper wants to take down as many bad guys as she can to keep the streets safe for Gothamites. She seeks retribution and vengeance, trying to save others much like she saved her own brother. Her brother Cullen, is who drives her forward.

Cassandra Caine: Her strength is seeing things that others cannot, i.e. body language. Hypnos' daughter. Cass can read a room and understand immediately what is going on. Her sight is her power. She was taught to be an assassin that looks but never speaks. Able to use that to her advantage to get a one up on those she is fighting or going against.

Damian Wayne Al-Ghoul: Son of Nike(and Dionysus). His goal is victory, in anything. He trains hard and strives to be the best at what he does, Damian does not take second place. He believes he can only achieve something if he is the best and most powerful at it. That is why he stays in the Nike cabin to train and hone his skills. (Even if he has a bed at Dionysus cabin.) He doesn't tell people a lot, but he goes over to sleep in his dads cabin. Once in a while. The old man would think he was getting soft if Damian ever told him that.

interesting! How would you classify them as parents but basing on mythology rather than Rick's books?

Okay, that's a different matter because... in mythology, all the gods love their kids, regardless of how immoral their conception is. Most gods are loving of their children and really protective of them, so, with that said (only demigod kids, adding godly relationships gets too messy):

Apollo and Ares are S tier. Apollo cares for his children a lot, to the point that he actually raised some of them. Ares, meanwhile, loves his children to the point of murdering to protect them (especially his daughters).

Aphrodite, Zeus and Poseidon are A tier. They love their children and protect them whenever they can. Poseidon especially tends to make heroes' lives difficult if they wrong his children, and Zeus is a good, protective dad, to balance him being a shitty husband.

Hephaestus and Demeter are B tier. They don't interfere much with their children's lives, but seem to care for them. Hephaestus is the father of an Argonaut with deformed feet, yet no one disrespects him for fear of angering him. Demeter has few demigod kids, but they were blessed by her, and they honor her in turn.

Hermes and Dionysus are C tier. Their only mention as parents of their children seem to be as a way to explain their abilities (magical thieves, great kings or heroes), but never their actual parenting. Still, nothing shows they weren't present, just that it's not as important as what their children ended up doing.

The others don't have demigod children, and Artemis treats her entourage (not gender segregated, btw) as interns rather than children. Athena adopted a kid that was born from Hephaestus, so... she might be an honorary A tier.

Not shown: Hecate (c tier, depending on whether or not she's Circe's mother)

Keeping up with the Olympians

Episode 4:

Preview:

Zeus' compromising with the ankle monitor detector proves to be a bigger deal that what it seemed like. Triton's humiliation makes him quit his sinful dream. Apollo tries to find a way to get back at Ares for cheating on him with Aphrodite and Hermes is more than willing to help. Many more to follow on this unholy episode!

Scene 1:(Zeus' grand palace at Olympus)

Zeus' confessional:

This piece of shit around my ankle is making my life a living hell! Why Hera? Why?

Zeus: Sometimes I feel imprisoned in my own house!

Hera(reading a book): I'm not taking off your ankle monitor detector!

Zeus: I had to try!

Hephaestus enters the room

Hephaestus: Hey pops! How is it going?

Zeus(glaring at him): Everything was perfect until you suggested that stupid thing around my ankle!

Hera: That thing will save our marriage!

Hephaestus: Yeah, definitely.

Hephaestus' confessional:

Man! The look on Zeus' face is priceless! It's high time I took revenge on these bastards! My cunning brain has a lot more ideas now!

Hephaestus: Mom! Have I told ypu5 about the arm smell detector?

Zeus: The what?

Hera: That's interesting! Go on dear son!

Hephaestus: It's the same as the ankle monitor detector, but this item can detect feminine perfume and produce the same shock! This is about any chance the ankle monitor detector fails to work!

Hera: I NEED THIS!

Zeus: Dare you do this and I swear to Chaos Hephaestus I'm gonna throw you down the mountain!

Hera: Don't scream like that to our son!

Zeus: Last time I checked he was your son only!

Hera: But you adopted him!

Zeus: In life there are many regrets!

Zeus and Hera continue fighting.

Hephaestus' confessional:

I love this! I simply love this drama? Get it pops!

____________

Scene 2: (Poseidon's sea getaway)

Poseidon: Thanks goodness Triton realized his awful passion wasn't going to lead anywhere.

Amphitrite: I'm still in shock!

Poseidon: It's over now.

Amphitrite: What did I do wrong as a mom?

Poseidon: Nothing babe, but I think that someone played a prank on him!

Amphitrite: What was he thinking about challenging Eros? He is literally the god of sex!

Triton: Mom, dad, I really wanna apologize for my behavior earlier. I know that porn is no reputable but Anteros challenged me because I lost a bet!

Poseidon: This piece of shit!

Amphitrite: Hey! No bad blood! Just stop and you'll show him you're above the situation!

Poseidon: No! Be a pornstar and prove him wrong!

Amphitrite: No! Stop provoking!

Poseidon: Boy! Do it!

Amphitrite: No!

Triton: I'm outta here!

__________

Scene 3: (Olympus grand palace)

Hera: Zeus is under control now!

Demeter: So, it worked?

Hera: Absolutely!

Hestia: I think that what you are doing is wrong by many aspects!

Hera's confessional:

How dare she oppose my satanic loyalty method? I'm the queen and I know what's right!

Demeter: No! I think this is great!

Hestia: Girls, get serious! This is absurd!

Hera: Are you on my side or his, sister?

Hestia: It's not about taking sides!

Demeter: Zeus put you!

Hestia: No, this is just my honest opinion!

Hera: Zeus, you are so dead!

Hestia: Please, can this mountain for once be in peace?

Demeter: We didn't wage a war!

Hestia: You can't derive him his freedom! He has duties to attend to with many gods, most of them female!

Hera: That's the spirit!

Demeter's confessional:

I don't know what's wrong with Hestia all this time! I'm sure that Zeus put her to calm us down!

Hera's confessional:

I feel betrayed in many ways! I love my sister but this is beyond acceptable!

__________

Scene 4:

Apollo: Soooo, what do we do to get back at Ares?

Dionysus: Are you sure about this?

Apollo: Damn yeah!

Hermes: What about we stole his weapons?

Apollo: Too mainstream!

Hermes: How about we change his shampoo to colored shampoo?

Apollo: Too childish!

Dionysus: Just a question. Do you still love him?

Apollo: No!

Dionysus: This boy is liar, this boy is a liar!

Apollo: I'm not lying!

Dionysus: If you don't feel anything for him then you wouldn't want revenge, but you would respect his decision!

Hermes: I agree to this one bro!

Apollo: I know what to do!

Hermes: What?

Apollo: We'll tell Hephaestus that Aphrodite is cheating on him!

Dionysus: Pure evil!

Hermes: Smells like Ohio!

Dionysus: But he will know it was you!

Apollo: I'll tell Helios!

Hermes: Satanic!

_____________

Scene 5: (Ares and Aphrodite meeting secretely)

Ares: Finally, we'll have some time together!

Aphrodite: It's been a week!

Hephaestus: What's going on here?

Aphrodite: Babe, it's not what it looks like!

Ares: It's exactly what it looks like, plus something else you haven't even noticed yet!

Aphrodite: Stop Ares, I got this!

Ares: What's the pont in arguing? We are naked on his bed!

Aphrodite: Heph, Ares here helps me to find those earrings I lost a week ago!

Ares: But you found them in the pool!

Hephaestus blank stares at them

Ares: Does he communicate with the environment?

Aphrodite: I don't know!

All the male gods barge in the bedroom

Apollo: Ares bitch! Suck it!

Hermes: Wow! Aphrodite is gorgeous!

Apollo: What? He cheated on me with her!

Ares: Can you blame me?

Hermes: I agree with Ares!

Aphrodite: I know I'm fabulous!

Hephaestus: So I was the last one to know?

Zeus far away from the other gods: Yeah, we all knew!

Dionysus: Why are you so far?

Zeus: It's the ankle and arm monitor detectors!

Poseidon: The what?

Zeus: Hephaestus' crazy ideas!

Apollo: That's not the point right now!

Ares: I knew it was you!

Apollo: You cheated on me!

Ares: Because you are paranoid!

Aphrodite: Okay, let's set a schedule, I take him Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, you take him Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays!

Hermes: And Sundays?

Aphrodite: He gets a day off!

Ares: What?

Apollo: Deal!

Dionysus: Ok, can we leave now?

Hephaestus: And what about me?

Zeus still from afar: What did you expect son?

Hephaestus: I want a divorce!

Zeus: Ok, just let's be done with this stupidity before Hera notices I'm missing!

Poseidon: What did I just watch?

_____________

Scene 6: Artemis and Athena discussing while shaking their salads

Artemis: So, did you hear about Ares and Aphrodite?

Athena: Hilarious!

Artemis: My brother did him good!

Athena: Even if it's immature, I support everything against Ares!

Artemis: Why do you hate him so much?

Athena: I don't hate him! It serves him right! He must learn to think with his upper head!

Artemis: True.

Athena: Did you hear about the arm monitor detector?

Artemis: Dude! That's so humiliating!

Athena: The lengths my father does for this woman are unimaginable!

Artemis: What does he see in her?

Athena: Good question! My mom would be a great queen!

Artemis: And why not mine?

Athena: Because my mom was married to Zeus!

Artemis: So what? That doesn't make her worthy!

Athena: You insult my mom?

Artemis: You degraded mine!

Athena: I was expressing my opinion!

Artemis: A very selfish opinion!

Athena: That's what I got, whether you like it or not!

Artemis' confessional:

This bitch of a sister! I can't believe her!

Athena's confessional:

I don't understand her aggravation! It's not superiority! It ain't bragging if you know it's true!

Artemis: Take it back!

Athena: No!

Artemis: Take it back!

Athena: NO! Ypu accept my mom was better!

Hades: Do your job amd stop fussing!

Persephone: Hades babe! Don't be too hard on him. I believe he understood tge assignment!

Hades: You think so?

Persephone: Absolutely!

Minoas: Thanks, your Majesty!

Hades: You learn fast, you little brat!

Persephone: Honey! Wanna go somewhere more private? (winks)

Hades: Hell yeah, your Majesty!

Persephone: Have I told you that you turn me on!

Darren•Darlin Headcanons

(Because I can and I want to)

Darren (he/they) is bi + poly (all my designs are poly, this is me we're talking about, that's like the baseline)

Darren's design, while evidently is influenced by the greaser subculture, is actually derivatively chosen based on the Yankii subculture that their parents both styled themselves with before coming to America. Darren however adopted the greaser look given that he wasn't as connected to his japanese roots which still somehow fell more in line given that the Yankii subculture is based on the greaser look.

Darren did date David before Gabe passed, after that he distanced himself from them and they broke things off.

He also was seeing Sadhil when they were in DAMN before disappearing with Quinn.

Darren's Jacket belonged to their dad before he passed and they've worn it ever since. David actually got his leather jacket look from Darren's father–Gabe was more of a button up shirt guy.

Japanese is their first language since that's what their parents spoke often in their house, Darren just doesn't have the opportunity to speak it much since the rest of the pack doesn't know how to speak it fluently (Asher tried).

Darren's nicknames for people are all based on old cartoons, he calls Sam "Doc", Sadhil gets called "Tintin"/"Casper" and he refers to Alexis as "Betty".

Darren does have a house within pack territory where he keeps all his old stuff–the problem is that the house is where his parents ☠️ after an attack from a rival pack and he's not very keen on visits there.

Darren and Quinn both were in a relationship together after they distanced themselves from everyone else–in short, they were both horrible for each other and Darren brought out the worst in Quinn who did the same for him. They both believed their empowered status made them above the law so they acted out.

Darren and Hermes (Honey) were friends when Hermes was in college. They were the person Quinn attacked but Darren distanced himself from them after that incident was handled and their memory was modified.

Quinn almost turned Darr, it's referenced in Shattered Glass Makes a Good Weapon but it was directly after he attacked Hermes in Quinn's attempt to force Darren to see his perspective.

Darren is actually the second shortest wolf in the pack in human form but can rival David's wolf form in size and power.

As a result of being blood bound, Darren's eyes do turn silver under the moonlight in human form and red in wolf form.

Darren's design actually incorporates different fashion elements from different members of the pack; chokers from Asher, ripped shirts like Milo, leather jackets like David and gloves like Christian.

Darren owns two rats, they're named Thing 1 and Thing 2!

Darren is autistic and selectively mute, he doesn't talk much around most of the pack and has learned to sign for this exact reason.

Darren sounds like imperium Huxley actually but just add more a of a cali surfer/skater accent.

He doesn't own a vehicle, he actually skates everywhere casually and uses his wolf form to run in high stress situations.

Darren used to work for Alexis as hired muscle and they still do work occasionally as a temporary bodyguard nowadays but when they can, they do take on jobs with Shaw Security but they're mainly a photographer.

Darren does not have a middle name, their full name is Darren Lancer.

Anyways that's it, I'm going back to drawing now–

With Percy Jackson and The Olympians Priemering Today here are some changes that would have made more sense with Greek Mythos than what Rick did (I love him but holy hell is none of it Accurate):

The big 3 would not have stopped having kids cause WWII (and I pray they change it in the show. it gives me the ick). Personally either, use Nazi's to have used Demigods as weapons against their will and have the gods agree no more kids to protect them, or WWI (it's a less fucked up idea, but aligning with countries over trade and political tensions is better than Nazi's). Also cold war could work but only to an extent. I know the prophecy was also a reason but good god let's get rid of the nazi's, please!

Athena is the virgin goddess. It's one of her epithets, Parthenos, the virgin Athena (what the Parthenon is named after). No kids, she has no time for romance. Now Artemis and Hestia? They're both virgin goddesses, with it being sacred, but Hestia being a goddess of the Family and hearth, and having kids would make sense (also fire Annabeth and Water Percy), whilst it's not clear if Artemis is 100% no romance (The Orion myth where their in love is only one retelling and it's the one I hate the most), but whether through her maidens, or as her role as a goddess of childbirth, or she's just a lesbian and sometimes they want kids, it's more likely than Athena. Honestly, the demigods of Artemis being the children Artemis helped birth from victims of assault would be a cool concept, the kids could be left at camp halfblood at an early age, and when the hunters visit, they could see their mums and aunts, whilst the mums could heal and know their kid is safe. Anyways, I'm 100% Athena is no romance, no sex, but loves friendships. She and Telemachus are besties, so she def has mortal friends. She and Paul would be good friends. New AU, Athena sets Paul up with Sally, cause she was already friends with Paul and is like "they'd be happy". Aphrodite is jealous that she didn't get it first.

Dinoysis should not be camp director, banished or not. What would make more sense: Ares camp director. The Greeks (Sparta and their colonies are the exception, not the rule) kinda hated Ares but in most of the myths he's in he's at best actually helping win wars, or at worst, the problem child (and the whole jar incident where he got trapped and Artemis and Hermes rescued him. Ares was hated because he represented the brutality of war, along with the revenge and cost with the eventual victory, whilst Athena was the tactics, strategy and cunning that brings victory. Regardless, in Mythos, Ares is a pretty chill guy (just not on the Battlefield.) Ares loves training, battle, and his kids. He is a girl dad (the Amazons are his kids, and he adores them), and would probably love any kid who showed an interest in fighting and battle, no matter the weapon. And it's in line with his character. He does something, gets kicked off Olympus for a bit, and gets thrusted to camp halfblood, and all the gods are like "Yeah lol, he hates kids, he's gonna hate it", but then he's there and he's like "I'm gonna teach you how to spear 3 horses in a row!" His kids love having him there, and he just kinda adopts the kids who's parent hasn't claimed them. He also will escort demigods home and threaten neglectful/shit parents. He will adopt kids who's mortal parent has abandoned them/died. Ares is camp father, and he's a damn good one. Though maybe he does get a little riled up by captue the flag.

I know the Amazons are in Heroes of Olympus, ha ha Amazon joke, but Amazon is an evil company and I hate it. The Amazon's also live in camp halfblood as trainers, friends, family, and loyal daughters of Ares. Most daughters of Ares get integrated into the Amazon's and they go on yearly retreats to Circe's island.

In later mythos Apollo became a god of the sun, and Artemis the moon, but Selene and Helios are still important players with interesting myths, and I know the whole "mortals forget" thing but Renaissance art did not. Have a plot about Endymion, Selene's forever-asleep boyfriend, Circe is a daughter of Helios, he could have other, powerful witches in their own right. Medea being a grandaughter of Helios is critical to her power and downfall. In mythos she never dies, merely disappears. Why is she evil? She is misunderstood and fuck Jason.

My hatred of Zeus runs deep and is too complicated to get into, but he is the true antagonist of Greek mythology, and I hate him. Everyone should hate Zeus.

Persephone and Hades relationship is too strained, and they never cheat on each other (Thesus and Pirithous. Once again, Rick is too kind to absolute dicks of mythology). The only time they have was Adonis and that one is weird and possibly mistranslated, but yeah, only times they cheat is when Zeus...assaulted his daughter *gags*, though in other translations the results of those unions are Hades. Hades though? Has never cheated on her. If one fell in love with a mortal, the more likely (and in my opinion sweeter outcome) is polyamory. Or have Hades and Persephone be the patron gods of any and all children of underworld gods (Thanatos, Melione ect)

On the Persephone thing, Persephone being a nature goddess is...loose? Demeter brings spring when reunited with her daughter, making Persephone's role not really nature goddessey. More interestingly greeks use the title Dread Persephone, and her role in stories aligns her as an underworld goddess. If you want an interesting deep dive into this watch OSP: Hades and Persephone on YouTube, its super interesting and goes into it better. Also fuck lore Olympus while I'm here.

Aphrodite and Hephestus being together is not always present in written works of Greek mythos. In Homer's Illiad Aphrodite is unmarried and a consort of Ares, whilst Hephestaus has his own wife, Charis. Then Homer contradicts himself (tbf, might not be a real guy) and states Aphrodite and Hephaestus are married and Ares is Aphrodite's homewrecker. So not even one (supposed) guy can keep it straight. It varies from myth to myth. Hell, at the end of some retellings of Aphrodite and Ares in chains in Hephestaus's bed, they straight up divorce. This is less nitpicky of Rick because Greek mythos has no cannon and everything is a constant mess, but with all the... less than stellar relationships within the pantheon and wider worship, it's ok to have a pairing that while is thought of, have a canonical divorce.

Also, Cupid would out Nico, Eros would not, and Psyche would punch him.

Why is Medusa solely based off of Ovid's terrible interpretation?IDK I'm not particularly fond of Ovid's retellings of myth, because of his...baggage issues. I know it's the more popularised one, but Ovid's entire story of Perseus is...so fucked up. This is also my anger toward wider mythos fans who argue whether Athena did a cool feminist thing or punished Medusa for being assaulted. In the older retellings, she was just a monster and it's so less fucked up.

Where is Ariadne? If we ignore my Ares rant, why is she not with her husband? or at least frequently visiting him? And why is she not called up in Balle of the Labyrinth? She is the patron goddess of it. Give her a cookie Percy, It'll help.

I have more but they relate to specific parts of the plot of a book, but if people are interested I can and will complain more. Sea of Monsters is the main one that comes to mind, but I'm rereading the series atm, so I can make ongoing lists. Also, I do love Percy Jackson, but I cannot think of it as having any relationship to actual Greek mythos or history or I'll scream. If you want to write an AU with any of these ideas please let me know, I love Greek mythos and I love interpretations of stories told for thousands of years.

WHY DID DESERT DUO BABYSITTING HERMES MAKE YOU SAD :(((

Oh!! I’ll say the art itself isn’t sad at all, it’s really lovely and sweet but it made me think of a totally unrelated plot-

If we’re talking strictly third life, grian and scar would never have the opportunity to babysit or adopt or anything but I think that at least scar would make a very good parent, n I think maybe grian would be shaky and uncertain at first but in the end be a fantastic dad yknow. The scenario I came up with is super headcanon-y but like if at any point the two of them wanted a kid, they probably wouldn’t tell the other since such a thing would be impossible on that server (talking about how everyone would be at war in a few weeks time) Or there wouldn’t be enough time for the two of them to nurture a healthier relationship between themselves, one fit to bring a kid into right

So XD the art made me think of a much sadder unrelated idea paha

I do know some people have desert dad aus I’ve never really sought them out but it’s fun to think about ^^

Among family, PJO

K:-I want the AU, where upon running away from home, Thalia, Luke and Annabeth ended up at the roman camp.

E:-Okay that would be interesting

K:-Jason gets to grow up more with his sibling!

(Spoilers ahead)

…I haven't read the newer Rick Riordan series, but was reading the Wiki and apparently Jipper broke up, cause Piper worried about how real It was (and how involved her mom was in it or something) and now Piper is dating a native girl, and she and her dad are reconnecting with their heritage. 

Can't believe that's how I found out Piper was bi!

E:-Piper is omg!

K:-Anyway, good that she and her dad moved and are connecting to their heritage. 

E:-Thats great!!

I shipped Jason and Percy for a while when I was younger! Dunno why. Bromance!

K:- why not? Jason x rock is a thing.

E:-Does my irrational crackships ever need to be justified?

K:-I toyed with the idea of ghost Luke x Jason

E:-Oh yeah!! Hehe ghost ships.A very light relationship! Jason can see right through Luke!

K:-Luke shows up from the dead mad that the gods are not upholding their promise to Percy. And also that Percy is missing, and meets this confused amnesic. 

E:-Omg! He's so mad he escaped the underworld for this bullshit! 

K:-What's Hades going to do? Send Nico? He's not here! Also the solstice is distracting. He would know.

E:-Hades calling Hermes while sunbathing under the burning flames. "So your kid decided to bust out since none of us are responsible."

"Apollo is missing"

"This isn't about him and his own absent parenting."

K:- burn. Luke ends up on the quest. No one can disadude him, since he's a ghost. What's  it going to do, kill him?

E:-Self burn are rare. 

What they're gonna do? Burn sage in front of him?

K:-Exactly! Luke gets to be the funny one on this quest, since none of the newbs brought their funny ADHD game with them. 

E:-He'll be the clown on this quest. 

He raised most of those kids at camp he has experience. 

K:- He has to be

E:-The actual father figure jk jk

K:-Piper:- no mom I don't need a mom, I have two dad's now. Human dad and ghost dad. Sure I had a crush on ghost dad's boyfriend, but I have embraced the unconventional family unit. 

E:-A family can be made up of a girl and her dad and her adopted ghost dad with his boyfriend. 

K:- Annabeth should have gone on the quest so she could tell off at Hera at the end.

Luke and Annabeth team up with the newbs to throw shade. 

E:-Oh she totally should have. "Oh man fixing a thankless gods mistake again? Must be a tuesday "

PJO AU?!?!?!?! two hyperfixations of mine in one??? Please elaborate!!!!

this is my most recent au (read: i came up with it two days ago) so it's not as developed, but heres some stuff!

ocean is an aphrodite kid, which she absolutely hates. she has no idea who the other parent is, because she was adopted by the o'connel rosenburgs when she was a baby.

she wishes her mom was athena, because aphrodite's kids don't exactly command a lot of respect, and she's pretty smart!

because of that she compensates by excelling in everything (people still dislike her though)

jane's mom is nike. she showed up at camp half-blood when she was 15 with amnesia (i really love giving jane mysterious amnesia don't i)

besides the choir she's really close with ezra, a fellow child of nike.

noel is also an aphrodite kid, and technically related to ocean (another reason why ocean really wants a different parent)!

ricky's dad is hermes

mischa's dad is apollo

constance's mom is iris

mischa is actually pretty mid at archery, but noels good at it so he helps him train! mischa in turn helps noel with sword fighting :]

Week 36 Transcript

Video

Intro

Extra extra, read all about it! Welcome to the Empire’s Recap, and today we will be going over the chaos and drama of our (somewhat) respected rulers!

This week we have the long awaited video from Oli TheOrionSound, in which many things happen including meeting the hermits, saying goodbye to the hermits, and realizing parenthood is stressful!

Oli

Our story begins with a quick recap of Oli’s time on the Hermitcraft server, including but not limited to leaving sign graffiti and writing the Christmas song “the real jim sheriff”.

Eventually his travels lead him back to the Olipelago.

In the 4 months Oli has been gone, he gained a lute—

[OLI] –cheek for the journey, goodbye god! …Nooo! No! I’m in Sanctuary! God has pushed me off the stairs! The bloody nerve of these Gods!

[NARRATOR] —Hosted a festival—

[OLI] –pretty penny! We’re rich, boys, we’re rich! Woo! It’s thanks to you, it’s thanks to you, and most of all it’s thanks to me!

[NARRATOR] And dealt with some inter dimensional visitors.

[OLI] What's your sick goal you short charlatan!

[NARRATOR] Who of course couldn’t resist visiting the great Olipelago!

[OLI] Don't read that, don't read that, ey!

[GRIAN] Debt? You're in debt To Gobland? YOU NOW OWE 81 DIAMONDS??

[OLI] Yeah, I've only made two episodes!

[NARRATOR] Also, our sincere apologies to Katherine's tailoring shop for the brief period of “Hermitopia not being in a glass box”… not that it seems to stop anybody.

One of the Hermits, Pearl, who looks incredibly like God who pushed him off a cloud, visits the Olipelago and helps out a bit despite the allegations. Probably having a rough time of it on the road to el dorado.

The Olipelago has expanded tremendously with its incredible second tent solely for beetroot. It is somewhat appropriate that the bard is the only one who lives off beets.

But disaster strikes! The dragon egg is starting to hatch!

[SHELBY MUTTERING] Temperature looks normal…

[OLI] What’s the diagnosis, doc?

[SHELBY] Well, not only am I not a doctor but I have exactly 0 medical training--

[OLI] Mhm mhm

[SHELBY] --but as far as I can tell… it’s a boy!

Pix and Gem reject the idea of having a dragon on the surface and Many an attempt to destroy said egg occurs - because it keeps coming back - before an understanding bridges the gap between Oli and surprise adoption.

To be a good parent you must have somewhere safe for them - so of course Oli builds a tiny Sydney opera house for the child and then goes searching for parenting advice.

[OLI] You’re a pesky little man aren’t you!

[NARRATOR] Lizzie’s parenting advice pretty much amounts to severe paranoia - Oli takes notes.

Pix’s advice is child labour, but considering said child is a copper aging facility he can be forgiven.

Joel, being Hermes’ parent, should have some good advice, but he doesn’t seem to know anything about children despite having several. He recommends… dancing?

Brief interlude for flirting with Sausage's dad, and then we meet the other father of Hermes, who actually gives reasonable advice as they watch the sunset. Before suddenly the egg starts to hatch - too late to back out now!

Sausage and Oli drag the egg to Shelby as she's the only one on this server even vaguely knowledgeable and they take the egg to the sun temple in Sanctuary to keep it warm enough.

[SHELBY] Deep breaths! I don’t—I’ve never—I’m not ready to be a mom, I have student loans—

[OLI] You’re not having the child, no! I’m having the child!

[SHELBY] Oh!

[NARRATOR] They set a fire surrounding the egg, and Oli ends up sitting on it to keep it warm before it starts to float in the air.

Some severe magical stuff is happening on this server, and Oli slips off the egg and his new dragon child lands at his feet.

To be continued…

Jimmy

In other news, Tumble town has been given a very odd copper statue of a cod! The mesa feels like an odd place to put that…

Anyway, to finish the rails to the train station Jimmy needs some iron in bulk supply. Unfortunately he doesn’t have any iron, let alone diamonds to pay False to use her iron farm. That’s an easy fix though, just gotta go mining!

This mining adventure quickly goes wonky however when Jimmy finds a strange old man in a cave. Apparently he used to be the old sheriff before Jimmy rolled into town, and had gotten stuck down the mines while chasing a bandit.

[OLD SHERIFF, ACCUSATORY] Where did you get Wednesday?

[JIMMY] Who—uh, it’s Friday right now. I—I don’t think you—

[OLD SHERIFF] No, I’m not talking about the day, I’m talking about that hat on your head! Where did you get Wednesday?

[JIMMY] No—this is the Sheriffs hat. Take a look, this is the Sheriffs hat, what do you mean?

[OLD SHERIFF] You think I don’t know that, I am the Sheriff!

[JIMMY] …What?

[NARRATOR] This is a prime opportunity to learn how the old sheriff earned his respect - being very short doesn't exactly inspire his fellow rulers to respect him. The Old sheriff agrees on the condition he can see the town again.

Jimmy shows him the outside and learns that apparently before Jimmy got there the town was called Midweek, because of Wednesday the hat of course.

[OLD SHERIFF] I’d be like, “Good morning how you doin’”, I’d tip Wednesday, and they’d say, “Is it midweek?” and I’d say “Everyday is midweek, ‘specially in this town!”

[JIMMY STARTS TO LAUGH]

[OLD SHERIFF] And they would absolutely love it, they’d chant my name, I’d catch them criminals and I’d throw ‘em behind bars!

[NARRATOR] The tall Joel statue does scare the old sheriff but he’s a man of his word, so he takes Jimmy back to the mines and teaches him the meaning of Respect.

Jimmy takes the old sheriff to the saloon and gets a small pep talk before he goes to show his friends and fellow rulers what he’s learnt from the newest - oldest? - Tumble Town resident.

[JIMMY] Okay.

[OLD SHERIFF] And you tip Wednesday and you say, good morning ma’am, good morning sir, good morning they, good morning them, you say good morning to everythin’, you hear me?

[NARRATOR] Jimmy saddles up his horse and rides through the Golden empire to get to the Greatbridge where he meets Gem, Sausage and Fwhip.

The three of them start teasing him over his height - the old sheriff's lessons don’t seem to work no matter how he tries! It’s really hammered home when Gem, one of his only allies that truly respected him, is given Sausages sword and kills him…

He is fed up with this disrespect!

Lizzie

After some reflection, Lizzie and the Critter Council decide to ally with fWhip, after multiple months. But the transport connections between those two empires is quite unsatisfactory… But no worries! Mayor Lizzie will bless anyone departing or arriving Critter City with a much more beautiful tram station and see! There is already some traffic!

[LIZZIE] What is the meaning of this?

[LIZZIE, READING] Dear Mayor of Animalia, come to the Drip Tavern to continue the discussion we had in Tumble Town. Burn this note before you arrive. fWhip of Gobland.

[NARRATOR] After some problems involving 12 gunpowder, three people, and explosives, Lizzie and Fwhip decide to make their own gunpowder farm. They each have their own task, fWhip’s got the beacon and Lizzie’s got the cats.

[FWHIP] Oh no, Lizzie… What efficiency do you have on your tool?

[LIZZIE, OVERLAPPING] I don’t have efficiency 5.

[LIZZIE] Wait, don’t look at me, I’m embarrassed! I’ll be right back!

[NARRATOR] After digging, it’s building time, and the creeper farm is officially done; but creepers are not the only thing falling.

Deciding they’ll meet back in one hour, Lizzie takes advantage of the beacon to finally finish her ores bundle. She digs one massive hole underneath Stratos to find her diamond ores. After multiple bumps along the way, she finds it.

[LIZZIE] Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat, wouldn’t you say my collections complete?

[NARRATOR] Back to the creeper farm and it’s rewarding! Fwhip and Lizzie decide to expand the storage but there is something odd lurking around.

[FWHIP] Can you see that?

[LIZZIE] What is—What is that?

[FWHIP] What is… in there?

[LIZZIE] Oh! Oh my gosh I saw something in there!

Outro

And with that, join us next week for more chaos and shenanigans! Thank you for watching, liking, and subscribing, and thanks to everyone helping with the project, check them all out below!

any athena complex hcs you want to share??

I don't really have a lot of hcs about Athena Complex, so sorry that this is short /gen

Medusa and Nereus are practically Poseidon's parents. They just kinda mutually adopted him. Though Poseidon has no idea of this adoption.

Everyone is creeped out by Hermes, except Hera. Tbh, Hermes is too scared of Hera to mess with her.

Iolo is the equivalent of a tired dad.

Despite being the goddess of Victory, Nike can never win a game of chess against Athena (nor against Iolo, but it's not like she's ever going to admit that)

Sybil once gave Adrian a rabbit's foot. He still has it somewhere.

Adrian is naturally good with horses.

Adrian feels like the god's curse lifts a bit when he's around water, especially the sea.

Adrian also once found a seashell in his room. He has no idea where it came from.

#I need to read Athena Complex again #sorry that this is short #my brain is dead at the moment #I think that we can all collectively agree that Adrian needs therapy #athena complex #ask

[sword-and-lance]

((the more I talk about OC Stuff (TM) with @semper-miles​ the more I wind up having feelings about Nemesis, like

yes of course she thought Ancient society was honestly kinda fucked up in the same way Hermes thought, but just...acknowledged that yeah that’s probably not changing before something finally manages to kill me in however many thousands of years, so in the meantime she decided to make the best of it

taking a job that’d let her salvage at least some concepts from society’s obsession with perfection, that would let her actually use her particularly weird/fucked up brand of magic without getting looked at too funny

being somewhat respected for her work, in fact, even if others kinda went but BOY is she fuckin weird (derogatory) though in the same breath

she and her bro became semi-estranged yes but she kept up a good relationship with her sister and her adoptive dad

she had friends if not very many of them, even kinda quasi-adopting one of them at some point

and yes society sucked in so many ways--hell she basically got told to get the fuck over it when the trauma of “your parents summoned an Abyss hellmouth and got ate by it right in front of you” doesn’t just magically go away with time or platitudes and that whole situation basically colored her entire view of society from an extremely young age--and it never really got disproven much later either

but she made the best of it anyway and could at least be proud of that much

...then the world basically literally went to Hell, her friends were killed or went mad (or took off in the case of Ancient!Solv/Theseus), her father went to his death to summon a god and before she could object, her brother followed suit, and her last memory of him is him saying that it was all he could do, being so useless otherwise--

Then even after all of that pain and death and suffering, what do their grand wise leaders (including Lahabrea and Emet-Selch who she both at least semi-respected at the time) do

Decide that eternal human sacrifice loops are fucking GREAT of course and totally not a terrible unfair asshole idea that’s just a bunch of murder dressed up fancy-like

and sure if someone managed to somehow ask Nemesis why she turned on the Convocation and went with Venat’s plan that’d be the reasoning she would state, especially since that was her sister’s whole reason for agreeing to join as well

but to be actually honest OOC here, she had gotten so goddamn broken by the whole Final Days thing and what happened to everyone she loved in the process that really that wasn’t even the majority of the reason--I mean she realized what Venat was planning to do and also thought it was severely shit-awful to do to people

but really after losing everything only to have the Convocation squander it and learn fucking nothing from the whole ordeal, just angling to repeat the old ways that she hated--

Nemesis really just wanted fucking revenge on them to the point that the only reason she didn’t turn into a Final Days hellbeast was via excessive blood magic shenanigans

and Venat happened to be the fastest route to doing that revenge, even when it eventually got Nemesis and Artemis killed after they were found out))

#; musing #and at the end of EW Dae /has/ Nemesis' spirit-crystal-thingamajig (after it got freed from Forgiven Mourning) #:) she is petrified of it :) for a reason :) and not just because it has a ton of bad memories in it #it's the version of her that DID lose everything that DID just go berserk and never came back from it #the version of her that would light herself on fucking fire if it meant she could burn the people she blamed and hated #sure that version of Nemesis was ALWAYS there; it's arguable however that that version of DAE is always there too in the same way #she knows this and is rightfully kind of scared of just what she might be capable of if her days start going bad /enough/

young az thrown into the pjo universe when he’s 10 and being adopted by thanatos. THEY LITERALLY HAVE THE SAME WINGS since my azzy’s wings aren’t illyrian ones (in main verse, those are actually an illusion he crafted when we was younger and craved acceptance from his peers read headcanon here) but black angellike ones. i also imagine thanatos as being on the aromatic and asexual spectrum and i feel he’d be a good dad for azzy. he’d be keeping his son with him in his home in the underworld and they work together, spending a lot of father-son time.

thanatos doesn’t send him to camp half-blood because he’s afraid he won’t be accepted as he is and his son has suffered too much exclusion in the past (in his original home in prythian) for being different. the god of death also doesn’t have a cabin at camp half-blood (as do all the gods of the underworld. also, the gods that aren’t the twelve olympians also don’t have cabins at the time when he adopts azriel because he’s adopted at 10 yo and six years before the event of the last olympian) and he knows his introverted son would hardly survive rooming in the hermes’ cabin until he can build one and he doesn’t want him to be singled out.

azzy (16 yo) being completely distressed when his father is kidnapped on the job and he wasn’t able to stop it and he blames himself for it. then, he struggles to keep doing his father’s job, holding back the souls into the underworld. and then there’s this girl mor (read about mor’s pjo verse here) who isn’t supposed to see him who asks him what’s going on. and he’s like ??? and he tells her she has no business asking him for answers but she somehow makes him tell the fucking truth. and she says that if he lets her go back to the land of the living, she will tell chiron to send her a quest to find his father and bring him home. he doesn’t trust her to keep her word (he doesn’t know yet that she can’t lie and knows people would say anything to evade death) and so he takes her back himself and they are sent on a quest. they become friends on this journey to save thanatos, run into percy, frank and hazel on their way to alaska and assist the three demigods in setting the god free.

thanatos is happy azzy made a friend and he gives mor (to thank her for looking after his beloved son) a bag of poppy seeds to use to come in and out of the underworld as she pleases so azriel can have a friend over from time to time. mor and az meets at least once a month and sometimes they hang out outside of the underworld.

Campaign Intros: The Orphic Uprising

the Orphic Uprising is another short and sweet campaign from my college years. another 10 session wonder, this time using the Cypher system! it's set in the same universe as the Percy Jackson stories, post-canon, and was my first time playing a campaign with my then boyfriend (now husband!)

my notes are . . . still not the best but they are definitely getting better and more useful to someone who is not currently embroiled in the story! less emphasis on the funny out of context quotes, more on actual notetaking--which is to say, a whole bunch of notes are still just funny quotes, they just make up a lower proportion of my notes overall

so story times from the Orphic Uprising will be actual full stories with real context! yay!

~anyway~

the setting

the Percy Jackson universe, post-canon! that's it. nothing fancy.

if you're not familiar, the basic conceit of the world is that the ancient Greek gods are real, actually (as are most/all other pantheons--yes it does get very confusing), and still having demi-god kids with mortals. otherwise it's just like the real world! there's a camp in New York, USA, called Camp Half-Blood, which is a safe haven for demi-god youth, who are often targeted by monsters. the gate to the Underworld is in LA, the minotaur's labyrinth is under the streets of NYC, you get it

the party

Nina "Larry" Grayson: my PC! you know her, you met her here. a Chinese-American daughter of Nike, goddess of Victory and companion of Athena. headstrong himbo who isn't afraid to fight dirty in order to win. kind of a loner until Beatrice and Chuck show up in her life and forcibly befriend her. eats impossible for breakfast

Chuck Hickey: my husband's PC! an Italian-American son of Dionysus, god of wine and revelry. raised by his Italian grandparents on their vineyard in Napa Valley, California (wine country). funny and not very responsible, but good people nonetheless. wields a thyrsus, which is a fancy word for a staff with a pinecone on top of it. has some magical powers, which enable him to, among other things, light pinecones on fire and put enemies in a trance by singing meme songs at them. yes, he did rickroll a chimera once. throughout this campaign and its sequel, he collects an ever-growing list of epithets; highlights include He Who Barks at Skeletons, He Who Drives the Sun, and Death Itself

Beatrice Starveling: an African-American daughter of Apollo, god of the sun and music and poetry and so many other things it's ridiculous. raised by her two gay dads who are very worried about her. a gifted musical theatre kid. creative and kind but also very tired, at least in part because she's lowkey the smart one of the party. wields a magic lyre given to her by Hermes, and also the Sun Chariot. she also has some magic powers, which allow her to, among other things, empower her friends to hit harder and put enemies in a trance by reciting Shakespeare at them. yes, she did use the "alas, poor Yorick" monologue for this at least once. she also pulled an Orpheus but actually succeeded, saving her dear friend Oliver from the Underworld with music from Hadestown

Ryder: a white British son of Aphrodite and a bit of a gary stu if i'm being honest; his player also had a lot of hangups about a lot of random things. supposedly a model whose dad "looks like Hugh Jackman." wealthy. an archer. a killthief

important NPCs

Oliver: Beatrice's sweet blond best friend. a son of Hermes. he was in the Underworld for most of this campaign, actually, after getting killed by some skeletons in our second session. oof

Hops: a grain demon Chuck found in a hotel dumpster and then immediately adopted. he looks like an ugly baby made of dirt and roots, and is about a foot tall. he's our mascot and we love him. Nina gave him her swiss army knife so he can open his own beers and Chuck sometimes carries him around in a papoose. other times, Chuck throws him like a football at an enemy and with their combined powers, they make Hops's roots grow really long and wrap around the enemy like a cage

~various gods and goddesses and PJO characters~

the plot . . . hook

after an exciting game of capture the flag, Camp Half-Blood is attacked by a small army of skeletons. during the fight, Oliver is killed. as the battle is dying down, camp oracle Rachel Dare wanders over and delivers a prophecy:

Children of Night and lords of the deep Conspire together in the midnight keep When the twice born God is lured and bound beneath The impossible is tasked to daughter of the laurel wreath The islander shall face the Cypran boar And the beauty's blood shall open the door The forgotten son of Spring shall be returned And through faith and song can life be earned

it is quickly determined that the prophecy refers to Dionysus, who has recently gone missing. and so a questing party is assembled: Nina, daughter of the laurel wreath, and Ryder, beauty's blood, are obvious choices and fast to volunteer. Beatrice, hyperfocusing on the last line, also volunteers, hopeful she'll be able to bring Oliver back from the dead. Chuck, having been informed that his mom is also missing and trapped in the Underworld alongside his father, also volunteers

Apollo stops by to give Beatrice the keys to an old model of the Sun Chariot, and with that, the party is off on their way to California and the Underworld!

(the whole arc of this campaign is a lot of fun but these posts are long enough as is, so instead y'all will have to wait for story times to learn more about what happens!)
