Person A: "How can you not know that you're dating a fucking deity?!"
Person B: "...I mean, to be fair, before the accident they never really acted like a deity around me. Our life together had been mostly domestic and sappy up until that point."
Person A: "And now?"
Person B: "...Honestly, it's still pretty domestic and sappy, they just don't bother hiding their inhuman nature around me anymore."

Not to get pedantic (oh who am i kidding that’s most of this blog) but I am genuinely fascinated by the potential applications of the established canon in HoO and TOA that the gods canonically have both historic and regional forms, and can appear as specific versions of those forms and have kids of those specific forms, which influence what powers the kid has/what pantheon they fall under/etc etc (and also the implication that demigods can be born under multiple forms of a singular deity). This is somewhat backed up even earlier in the first series when we’re told that Percy has earthquake powers because of his father being Poseidon “The Earthshaker” (which is Mycenaean Poseidon) - which could also tie into why Percy generally takes leadership roles, is hopping in and out of the Underworld a lot, and is apparently particularly powerful for even just a Big 3 kid, since all that would line up with Mycenaean Poseidon being generally put at the head of the pantheon and also being a chthonic deity.
Now this gets really interesting when we start looking at deities being combined and conflated, because a.) the Romans weren’t the only ones doing that and b.) the Romans had their own gods originally, they didn’t just take the Greek ones and slap a new name on them. They merged a lot with their own preexisting deities alongside adopting worship of deities from other cultures as the Romans spread (and the Greeks also did this), and c.) the ancient Greeks and Romans did exist at the same time.
Like, we know in terms of the Greeks and Romans that if their godly parents are “equivalent” then their demigod children are siblings, just like if Greek demigods have the “same” godly parent then they are also siblings. However, very few Greco-Roman gods are one-to-one, and a lot are like three gods in a trench coat, and then if you want to get into historical forms then you can start running into weird things like “Well, if you go back far enough, these two Greek gods may have originated from the same thing-” and also if we’re talking historical forms, again, the Greeks and Romans existed at the same time! Which means there would be historic forms of godly parents that are both Greek and Roman! So like, where do we go from there? Would Hazel be equally siblings to a child of Plutus as she is to Nico because both Hades and Plutus were conflated into Pluto? Orcus was also conflated with Pluto - does that mean when Nico killed Bryce Lawrence, he was killing his half-brother? (cause then that parallels just a couple chapters later when Will faces off against Octavian-) Are there demigods who, depending on their godly parents’ form(s), are technically both a Greek and Roman demigod? If Hermes and Pan possibly originated from the same god, does that mean all the satyrs are siblings with the Hermes kids? If we want to get into all the nonsense of Dionysus’ origins and Zagreus and Hades, does that mean Nico is technically siblings with Dionysus kids? Does Dionysus joke about this during their therapy sessions? Are some demigods in certain cabins siblings with kids in other cabins but each others’ siblings aren’t siblings depending on what form their godly parents were in?
I have a headache now.

One of my favorite lu fic tropes is Fierce calling the chain, more specifically Twi and Wild, his grandkids and the Time getting really embarrassed and/or flustered about it

“Almighty Sinnoh above, below and all around me.”
Palkia hears the human, although that is not their name; but when one can see all places all at once, it is easy to understand when their attention is called.
“I apologize for the intrusion. I come to pray to you.”
Palkia listens. They always do, when they are called: Parent allows it, and Parent has taught them to hear closely when called by what is much, much smaller, and much, much frailer.
“I pray for your guidance and your gaze upon me.”
Palkia listens. This human does not simply think his prayers like others do. This human murmurs beneath his breath, as his thoughts are far too loud.
“Please, I beg of you. I ask for a glimmer of clarity.”
Palkia is as shifting as the waters: in the same manner as liquids do, they coat all that their infinity can touch. It is a small infinity, compared to Parent’s - but it is vast and wide nonetheless.
“Please, I beg of you. I fear this is not where I want to be.”
Palkia can reach as far as the oceans expand, below and above the ground. But they are not Parent; they cannot know all.
“Please, I beg of you. Please. Lead me home. Please.”
Palkia could ask for their sibling to answer the human, as they certainly could help. But what then? Humans are much, much smaller, and much, much frailer. If Dialga answers them, will this one be shunned by their people?
“Please, I beg of you. Please, lead me home, please, please, please. I beg of you, please, lead me home. I beg of you. Please. Please. Please.”
Palkia cannot do so. They cannot help, for they must only listen, not lead. Humans make their own fortunes, Parent said, and intervening may turn quite dangerous for them, as they are much, much smaller, and much, much frailer.
“Please, I beg of you... Please... Please...”
Palkia rubs their muzzle on the human’s shoulder; that is how Parent comforted them, when they and their sibling were still expanding so soon after their births.
The small, frail thing will not know it is them: it will be a trickle of water melted out of some snow, seeping into the dark cloth they never part from, sending a shiver down their arm.

‘tHe cHoSen OnE’ but the one who chose them was just some guy who most certainly did not have his life together so i’m unsure if it’s really something to brag about

kaeya is still so suspicious to me that box in a wall told us SO MUCH but also not enough. So he's not of royal blood but his first constellation is still called 'excellent blood'. the alberich clan tries to not leave any traces of it's existence. Everyone who thinks he's just 'some guy' after this is so incredibly wrong

I really don’t think it’s out of character for Minthara to break up with you if you reject bhaal. It’s not about prostrating yourself in devoted worship to a god, it’s about rejecting immense power that was offered to you on the condition you do what you were gonna do anyway (or at least what Minthara thinks you should be doing anyway) and getting yourself killed in the process

I feel like as someone who was a cashier it’s very easy to say I’d hate to be the person ringing up safiya and tylers purchases but I also once rang up like $300+ worth of fake flowers for a rlly sweet woman when I worked at dollar tree and was more like, fascinated than anything
#deity dialogue#she was using them for a big decorative cross btw#it was around easter time I believe#she even let me take pictures of all the flowers she bought#she was really sweet#tbh like when I check out so many items I have nothing against the customer#and especially if they’re nice too like sweetie dw I got this ily you have don’t nothing wrong#even worse is when ppl would buy so many glass items it’s like listen. I hate ringing up glass items cause I wrap them as they go and it’s a#whole nightmare but I have no beef with you dear customer c’mere I will protect you#I only take issue with customers when they’re rude like#listen the purchase can be annoying as sin but I’m not mad at my customers about it#all this to say I would ring up safiyas 100+ soaps and instead of being mad be more amused than anything#like even if she was just some random person I’d be like this is so fascinating why are you buying all this soap#ppl who buy a tone of one thing have plans. they have things to do and I’m gonna figure it out#similarly when I worked at Walmart a woman bough a couple hundred of several school items to donate#and me and several coworkers worked to count them and get them for her and shit then me and two others helped her pack them into some totes#I’m her car and she was so sweet and kept apologizing and we were like no ma’am you’re totally okay ily#she tried to offer to give me and the two helping her a tip but one there was no need tbh we preferred this to the hell inside the store#because the manager was on our ass about how we need to somehow find space for all the school items in storage#and two if we accepted money we could’ve gotten in trouble lmao
