Headcanons for all the characters including Jack since it’s based on Hamlet watching The lion king with the reader. (the original animated movie not the live action remake.)

Record Of Ragnarok Characters x Reader watching together The Lion King (headcanons) 🔞

You know, I haven’t watched The Lion King in… well I watched it once when I was kid and that’s it. Mulan, Hercules and Tarzan were my movies. Anyway I ended up watching The Lion King again to refresh my memory.

Qin

A what? Are you involved? Then Qin would agree to do anything.

He’s like a big kid - chill and carefree, even more than usually. Both of you goof around, Mr. Emperor tries to sing without knowing words, popcorn flies around, you pause a movie in stupid moments to make him laugh etc.

You get a stomachache from laughing too much and Qin obviously has to get infected.

Just two morons have time of their afterlife.

The only moment when there is silence is when Simba loses his father. That scene just hits too close to home and remains Qin about Chun Yan. However he doesn’t let it bother him too much.

HAKUNA MATATA

You both loudly encourage lions to battle.

At the end he asks what other movies you like.

Jack

Because he isn’t familiar with the concept of love and how to express it, spending time with you is probably Jack’s way to show his affection. If you ask him to watch an animated movie together, he’d politely agree, even if it’s not his thing.

Expect tea. And cheddar apple pie.

Jack sees Simba’s journey as a lovely and naive story. Deep inside he does compare himself to that lion cub and wonders what kind of person he would've become if he had only received help from strangers. On top of that Jack actually killed his parents, so it’s odd to him to see how much Simba struggles with remorse over Mufasa’s death which wasn’t his fault.

Truth to be told Jack might mentions some quotes from Shakespeare IF you point out similarities between the movie and Hamlet. These resemblances aren’t very visible. But it may be enough to start an interesting conversation.

The ending of the story may seems a bit bitter to Jack. Whoever was meant to be good, stayed good, and whoever was meant to be bad - stayed bad. Kinda depressing outcome for a man who’s trying to change himself, right? You’d have to talk about it and remind that it’s just a simplification made for children.

Now it’s time for a cuddle session.

Loki

Do you really want to do this to yourself? You’re very naive if you expect to have a fun with this guy while watching this kind of movie.

At first it’s just boring to him, but after awhile he amuses himself by coming up with new ways to destroy the show. He makes a loud comment every time the opportunity arises. For example, there is a scene where Zaku tells young Simba and Nala that they’d be married one day, to which Simba replies: No way! She’s my friend! You can hear a loud snort on the side, followed by She’s your SISTER, dumbass!

Loud chewing.

Hey, y/n, do you know that once Simba becomes the king, he will have kids with every lioness? Even his mom?

Do they have to sing all the time?

DON’T YOU DARE mention that you can see a similarity between him and hyenas or forget about chips, popcorn, whatever you two are eating.

Phew! It’s finally over. Wanna do something funny, y/n?

Adamas

Childish entertainment but once he sees that your eyes get wet with tears, he quickly agrees.

A cheerful start bores him but except tactless way of sitting, he doesn’t do anything to ruin your fun.

Even if Mufasa’s death was expected, it still hits hard Adamas. Basically catches him off guard. It remains him about his last meeting with Poseidon: his brother’s pure contempt towards him, that dead, indifferent expression of his face when he pierced Adamas with his trident, then cold surrounding body and Poseidon’s back as he walked away. But while the movie continues, a new digression haunts Adamas. He plays that scene again in his head and it hits him harder, because he realizes that he almost became Scar to Zeus.

So now he sits stiffly on his ass with a very depressed expression. One look at him is enough for you to know that you have to pause the movie and talk to a guy. At first he rejects your attempts, but very quickly ends up letting you hug him tight. Still plays a tough idiot tho…

Beelzebub

Most of the time he just sits next to you with lifeless expression.

Hakuna matata his ass.

Beelzebub secretly enjoys when you sing, but it’s really hard to catch him with a smile on his face. If you manage to do so, he reluctantly admits it. Good luck with convincing him to join you.

He doesn’t have any deeper thoughts about the movie.

If you mention that Timon and Pumba remain you Samael and Azazel, Beelzebub would just give you a dull look. After awhile he starts to notice that too and has mixed feelings about it.

Hrist

She finds this idea very sweet. It’s relaxing and enjoyable.

When Scar kills Mufasa: RAGE MODE ACTIVATION!

Since then you sit with angry Hrist who really does not like phrase hakuna matata. She starts to hate Simba for being so thoughtless.

Screams SHUT UP every time they start singing.

When Simba lets Scar leave, Hrist in heat of the moment chokes you and loudly screams how dumb he is. You wonder if it can get worse and the answer comes very quickly - Simba fights Scar on the TV screen and you fight for every breath on a couch.

Hermes

Hermes approaches the movie from a different angle: he focuses more on a soundtrack. The movie itself is simple story with moral, standard for humans’ approval.

You both consider an improvement of some songs and probably start doing it in the middle of a movie. Sorry, Simba.

Ares

Ares doesn’t care much about Mufasa’s death - it's necessary plot twist to move on with thread… but the ending kinda touches him. It's very climatic in his opinion.

He is NOT crying, okay?

Well you are. Or you pretend very convincingly so he doesn’t have to play tough boy. He has no idea…

Hades

Because he is a gentleman, your wish would be granted.

It’s animated movie but Hades drinks wine. No cola, no popcorn or other snacks. Please, have some dignity.

Hades has weird uncomfortable feeling in his chest when Scar kills his own brother. Scene just awakes something he doesn’t like to mention: conflict between Poseidon, Adamas and Zeus. Hades never could bring himself to blame any of them for how things turned out, so now he doesn’t try to look too deep into Musafa’s murder.

Afterwards he would share his honest opinion with you, almost like professional critic.

Poseidon

No expression throughout the entire movie.

Scar is pathetic.

Mufasa is pathetic.

Simba is pathetic.

Timon and Pumba aren’t even worth mentioning.

That movie proves that humans are lower forms of life.

At least you have chance to hug Poseidon. If he spends time with you, it means he demands it.

After a movie: Y/n, such entertainment is unworthy of the gods.

Leonidas

Books are better than movies. But fine, if you insist, the King of Sparta would spare some time.

The best comforter: Why are you crying? It’s fiction! It’s not even human! By the way - that lion could kill you with a single paw swing. These mfs are huge! Better him than you, hon!

He smokes so much that you have trouble seeing the TV screen.

Stop couching, hon! I can’t hear what they’re sayin’!

The moment Pumba approach, Leonidas starts talking about his love for venison.

You need truly heroic self-denial to not kick him out. The only option to get him to shut up is to kiss him. He doesn’t get why the kiss is angry but he likes it that way.

You two probably miss the ending. Leonidas thinks Simba isn’t worthy of being king anyway.

Apollo

Ah, y/n, aren’t you adorable for loving such innocent enjoyment? Of course he agrees!

You have to feed him snacks.

He sings along with the characters and makes the movie much better. You end up watching him showing off instead of the movie. Your dirty side may bait off a bit more mature show.

He knows exactly what you're doing and doesn't mind at all.

Later you might catch him humming songs from the movie.

Hello, dear. May I be your king tonight?

Rudra

Simba’s and Nala’s childhood brings nostalgia. Rudra spent his entire youth with Shiva and they were both free spirits. Watching these lion cubs brings back many funny memories.

Rudra’s favourite moment is Simba’s reunion with Nala. He gets mad if he notices you smirking.

Parvati, Kali, Durga and Shiva

You decide it’s time for girls’ night out.

None of you is focus on the movie, it’s just an addition. You mostly talk and laugh. Very loud that it may attracts Shiva.

He just sits down between you with Whatcha doin’? then proceeds to eats all the popcorn and other snacks like vacuum cleaner.

Shiva with a male reader that's more powerful than most gods but when not fighting is a total clutz please

Sure!

You are Shiva's Husband, a greek god of childhood, children, and trauma.

You met Shiva a long time ago when you were having a sparing match against Thor, who was one of your bestfriends.

You and Thor kept sparing not noticing the purple, four armed man and his 3 Wives.

Yours and Thors spar match was a tie, you were close too wining but you got tired and so did Thor

Thor liked you cause you gave him a challenge.

When you both finished you tripped over your own feet and landed on the ground.

You heared someone snickering and you looked over and saw a purple, four armed God, who was kinda hot, and his Wives, who were scolding him for laughing at you tripping.

Thor stuck his hand out and helped you up and patted you on the back and left. He probably went to go take a shower cause he was covered in sweat.

You turned back to the four people and saw that they got up and came to you when you watched Thor leave.

The Purple one introduced himself as Shiva, a Hindu God, and introduced his wives, Durga, Kali, and Parvati.

You got along with his wives, they took you out for spa days and went places where it was just you four. ( Shiva wasn't allowed to go out for spa days with you guys.)

You fell in love with Shiva and he liked you to along with his wives

You got married and had a wedding. You got forced into a dress by his wives and almost fell on your face when walking down the aisle.

You had Odin walk you down the aisle cause your parents don't like you or are not around and just don't care

He saved you from falling.

Shiva found it funny on how you are a clutz and trip and fall all the time but only outside of fighting. When you are fighting or sparing you never fall or trip.

He loves your strength because then you to can spare each other and give each other a challenge.

He loves that your stronger than most Gods and that your strength rivaled a lot of God's strength like Thor, Zeus, and even Odin.

His Wives all baby you when you fall or trip.

And when Ragnarok happened you probably where in it except you weren't fighting for the gods....

But that's a story for another time!

Since ya said I could, I don't know if you've done it yet but: What are your favorite headcanons for the hindu Pantheon? 👀 Specially Shiva, Indra and Rudra but all the others too, ehe

Look at thiiiiis! Law and @cassinder, you made my heart bumping in excitement you know 😍😍*^* so I united your ask and request in something I enjoyed a lot to create! Maybe the NSFW parts for Shiva, Rudra and Indra are shorter than for the other deities, but for them I let speak their NSFW Alphabets ehehehe

Tagging @evansuvamp and @viostar2095 for this, girls I know there is so much to eat for you here 🔥 and a lot of it was created during our chitchats so THANK YOU very much for everything you do on a daily basis my babies *^*

The Hindu Pantheon has to be proud of us!

Hindu Pantheon - HCS

Warnings → NSFW, 18+ stuff, mature content

💐 → SFW HCS

🚨 → NSFW HCS

Parvati, Kalì, Durga

💐

The mothers of the whole pantheon: the first fans not only of Shiva, but also of the other gods, the supporters of all. Every worry and tension goes away with them, because they work hard to make you feel at your best, and they never fail to conquer and destroy your fears

Their home is always open and full of laughter and merriment; everyone is warmly welcomed, from friends to those who are lost and are looking for help, and will leave those walls happy

They can sing and play very well, their skills are high: but all three have different voices and way (and instruments) of playing, so don’t let them perform together or it will be pure CHAOS

All three are first-class shippers. They capture every spark of love or interest that a deity can feel towards another, they talk about it together and every time they can give advices or help, so that things take a positive turn

If you are a lover of Shiva, you are automatically adored because if the god has seen something in you and has decided to take you into his life, it means that you are worth all the love in the world; moreover, since you too love and take care of him, you can only be worshiped all the time. You are not a rival and they will never see you as one

If, on the other hand, it is you they are in a relationship with, then you are lucky because you won’t find anyone as sweet and pretty as them, nor could you be more pampered in every respect

🚨

Mommies take good care of you also in bed, you know: everything you want you try will be granted

Gentle, slow and deep sex

They probably have the maid kink and make you dress like one, then all the three of them take you, lift your skirt and start to dominate you

At least one of them loves using feathers in the spiciest situations so be prepared for all kinds of torture

There are three of them, which means they can take turns on your genitals, buttocks and chest, making you cum over and over, at least until you are about to pass out

The more you scream the more aroused they get, so your intercourse don’t end anytime soon

If you are the lover of Shiva, most likely you end up kidnapped by them and tested at least once…

Shiva

💐

He likes to bathe a lot! Nothing is more enjoyable than vegetating in the hot water at the end of the day, while taking a nap or watching the first stars appearing in the sky

He is scared by spiders and bugs in general: he can’t stare at look without starting to panicking and jumping and screaming like a baby, somebody has to come and take them away from his sight, or drag him somewhere and calm him for a long time

Shiva is totally incapable of feeling the cold: he could walk in the snow completely naked without any shiver or dive in an icy lake and find it perfectly fine, but on the other hand can’t stand the hot weather at all, he feels himself melting

He can’t sleep alone: somebody, lover or friend, has to share the bed with him. He wants to sense another presence by his side, or he will spend the night awake

If he sees you down in the dumps or worried about something, he will slowly approach you and hug you from behind, squeezing you tightly around the waist and cradling you until you decide to open your mouth and reveal to him what doesn’t work. Then he will do everything in his power to cheer you up, from making you laugh to comforting you, and will help you resolve what is bothering you.

Flowers are the answer to everything: he loves them and likes being covered in them or covering you in them, so it is probably you making flower crowns and necklaces for each other or burying each other under a flood of colorful petals

🚨

Call him with the pet name of “tiger” and he goes wild in no time. To be honest every association with the tigers makes him proud and aroused, so you really want to be hunted down by this fiery beast mueheheh

Before catching you and making you his own, he loves to chase you through the entire building with nothing on himself, screaming and laughing like crazy, putting you against the wall in no time and taking the opportunity to steal a kiss or bite you, to then free you and start the chase again

Play as much as possible with him, don’t give in right away and show yourself curious: Shiva loves it when you keep him busy and your elusive pretending makes his blood boil with arousement, so tease him as long as you want and engage in the most disparate battles with him as you please

If you present yourself to him covered only with flowers and petals, you lose all hope of being able to walk for at least three days

Praise him continuously, make him feel important and adored, and the pleasure he will give you will be very high

Rudra

💐

Rudra likes to take long walks during the night. The silence, the nocturnal breeze, the breath of the sleeping world, the god is alone with the moon and can talk with her in every way he wants, making each other company. The midnight calls him with its sweetest voice and he obeys it no matter what

Gift him with a stuffed animal and he will be the happiest creature in the world. He LOVES plushies, their cuteness and adorable expressions, the softness… if you are lucky, you can see him laying somewhere in the ground with one of them on his belly, all intent on caressing it and playing with it

He has remarkable skills in baking, and he is still learning. During his wanderings he lived with humans, so he learned many different recipes from them and every now and then he shows off some delicacies, earning everyone’s admiration. He is better at savory dishes than sweets, tho

Every time he moves, there is one or more animals following him. He has a special bond with them, he almost gets along better than with his fellows, and loves spending time in their company and sharing the journey with a feline, a bird or a little goat

Rudra’s favorite gifts are dresses, shawls, or anything woven; and he is also good at guessing what you love most and which fits you perfectly, enjoying the sight of your body wrapped in a sparkling dress and your face flushed with enthusiasm as you whirl around and can’t stop thanking him and screaming in happiness

When it rains he can’t help but hug you tightly, breathing the scent of wet earth. The dripping of the water relaxes him, and if you take him by the hand and under the downpour you will see one of the most beautiful smiles appear on his face

He is not a god that needs much sleep, but try stroking his head and under his chin, and the next instant you’ll find yourself sitting with him in your arms, enjoying the cuddles as he falls into a deep, restorative sleep. You have a not indifferent relaxing power towards him

🚨

The color red has the power to arouse his interest, so if you want to have a great evening wear something red or any shade of it, and be prepared to find him on you in no time

If you try to fight with him, he ends up getting very excited and charged with energy: your bodies adhering, every contact and grip, your skin rubbing against each other, the physicality of the moment drives him crazy and pushes him to give his best to knock you out as soon as possible and then enjoy the victory between your legs

The best way to activate him, however, is to brush your breasts against his chest or back. Let him feel your turgid nipples against his body, you have him in your hands

If you are a person who loves jewels he will do anything to see you wearing them only, especially if they are necklaces and bracelets, and he will ask you not to take them off while he fucks you dumb. He likes to see the glow they cast on your naked body and how the light dances on them and on your skin, he is enchanted to watch how your beauty is illuminated by them

He tends to behave like a daddy: he spoils you, he buys you everything you want and takes you everywhere, he often holds you in his arms, protects you, dominates you as much and as he wants but always with deep sweetness

He is the best at giving, he loves it a lot when it comes to eating you out, his tongue and teeth know where to hit and make you squirm in bed, knowing you can’t escape at all. Also he has four arms, so where do you want to go, where?

Indra

💐

Even though he doesn’t seem like the type, Indra loves to play pranks on his friends and then watch with a smirk as they squabble and argue, ignoring the fact that he is to blame for everything.

His slowness in the morning is indescribable: if you want him to get up by nine, you have to start calling and shaking him at seven, because there is no way to get him up quickly. Have patience and let him fuel in peace, he needs his time

He talks in his sleep and a lot too, mostly saying nonsense

One of the most satisfying things for him is to smoke with you, especially if it is something you can share like hookah. He sees these moments as opportunities to bond even more and find new opportunities to connect and get to know each other more deeply

His eyes change color depending on his mood: when he is calm they are golden, when angry obsidian black, when worried or sad gray, and if they are red, well… 🥰

He is the best hugger of the entire pantheon: he is not into words, preferring to show his affections and caring through actions

🚨

Indra may have a tendency to torture you with small (and not dangerous) shocks, all while sinking his teeth into your neck and holding you still under his body

Kiss him on his marks and he melts at the mere touch of your lips, starting to breathe heavily and forcefully hold back the moans. Linger on them and you will see that with patience you will bring him down

Wall sex is a must with him, especially since the bed doesn’t last long with you two. The contact with the cold wall against your back or chest + your glued gazes amplifies every sensation

He doesn’t admit it easily, but the thought of being tied by you and subjected to all your desires occasionally crosses his mind and makes him tremble deeply with arousement

SIZE KINK? SIZE KINK. And revealing clothes, please

Varuna

💐

Often Varuna tends to fall asleep completely stretched out on the grass and with his chin resting on the ground, like a crocodile. Sometimes he even opens his mouth wide, which upon awakening he finds full of little flowers because Shiva or Indra had fun dropping them inside it to see their friend’s reaction

This gentle god tends to make a lot of friends among the little birds! Especially sparrows, swallows and parrots, and crocodile guardians ♥️, who often mistake him for one of these animals and therefore wait for him to open his mouth to clean his teeth

He loves humans and has nothing against them, and whenever he can help them in their works related to water

The mermaids of every part of the world love him and he loves them. His underwater palace is always full of them and of their choruses, their songs help him relax and they are so beautiful to listen to!

If he is in love with you, expect to be treated like the most gorgeous creature to ever walk the earth, because his adoration for you knows no bounds and so you get all kinds of pampering and praising

🚨

Those pointy teeth aren’t just there for looks, you know⁓ and the long tongue could be employed for your pleasure too, if you want it⁓⁓

But the helmet stays on during sex, don’t you dare to think otherwise!

And don’t underestimate his friendly air, he’s a dom. A soft dom to be precise, and even a good one, because from him you have everything you most desire, even what you never dared to ask but always wanted to try

And yes, he may be the smallest of the higher gods in the pantheon, but he makes up for it with something else… actually, two. Yes he has double pack, keep scrolling

Don’t show up in a bathing suit and hope you don’t attract his attention, because if there is something that terribly attracts him, it is this. So, if he sees you in this outfit, he first blushes deeply, then approaches you and bows in front of you hugging your legs and starting to look at you with big puppy eyes; and do you really want to resist such a creature? Try it, if you can

Goes on for many rounds, he has more energy than you. Oh, and he is great in the aftercare, totally awesome!

He surprises you in several ways and his kindness and sweetness destroys all your fears and walls, in the end you no longer want to leave the bedroom but just enjoy his love endlessly, and reciprocate him with everything you own

Agni

💐

He loves children a lot! He is the literal definition of the “kind giant” and having cheerfulness around him does not disturb him, on the contrary, he gladly plays with kids and lets the bravest of them climb on his arms and back, making sure they don’t get hurt

He is an excellent housewife and knows how to do many things, from cooking to cleaning to arranging clothes, both because he mostly lives alone and because he had to learn to repair what he sometimes damages with his flames, so he defends himself well in houseworks

He is an excellent locksmith too! He is especially skilled at creating beautiful jewels, which he inevitably gives and covers you from head to toe

Agni doesn’t make fun of himself, he knows he is not such an easy god to manage because of his size; but when he sees that you have affection and love for him and that you are not at all intimidated by his appearances, his heart can’t help but melt

Touch starved, touch him continuously and kiss him everywhere and he pours on his back, completely conquered and all yours

🚨

Jump on his belly and you have already won him, because the sight of you on top of him is too much to bear

Here you are the dom and he doesn’t mind at all, go and take him! It is what he wants!

He will do anything to hold his flames during your intercourse and not hurt you in any way, but it is something he gets better and better at over time so the first few times you may end up with some light burns and burns ― nothing that lasts long

He loves holding you in his arms and against his chest more than anything in the world

Boobs lover

His nipples and shoulders are really sensitive, so take it easy when you touch him here or you risk starting a fire!

The more confident you are in your abilities and relaxed, even when it comes to a difference in size of 1 to 10, the more Agni can only adore you and leave you the reins. You are too cute as you smile with conviction and arousement and reassure him that everything is going well, that you are not in pain and that no, you are not afraid of what you see between his legs; in his eyes you are just perfect

Vishnu

💐

Vishnu loves everything related to horror, from movies to books, especially the first ones if he is in the company of others, so he can see all their reactions

Sometimes he wants to send everything to hell and change pantheon

He loves wine, but he doesn’t hold it much so he doesn’t drink it or if he does it rarely happens. The only time he got drunk was with Indra and Varuna, and they have sworn never to reveal what they have seen on pain of the worst torture they can imagine ― and they know very well that Vishnu keeps his promises

He hates summer because the heat makes him sweat and therefore his elegance and impeccability are questioned

If he likes your outfit, in the most unexpected moments he’ll steal it from you and try to wear it, especially if you are wearing heels and long dresses. The skirts fit him very well

Combing each other’s hair is just one of the things, and probably the most romantic, that you love to do together. He takes you and puts you on his legs, and from that moment he starts pampering your hair like a treasure, even slightly scratching the nape of your neck to relax you

🚨

A COMPLETE SADIST, probably an expert rigger. Impact play and role play are the best for him, and all the kinks that involve the blades. Try rebelling and being brat with him, and he tames you for the next two days.

“Come on, my little Y/N, give me a good scream⁓”, while spanking your ass harder and harder or just before he starts scratching your back with his long, pointed nails, making you lose your voice in no time.

Only with you he would make his mask fall to the ground and totally reveal his face. He’ll put it back on shortly after, but in the meantime he has allowed you to take a good look at it, be grateful!

But this vision has a price, because as payment he ties you to the ground and, putting on the highest heels he has, he starts trampling you in your most sensitive spots and poking your genitals with cruel pleasure.

You are his favorite offering, so one of his favorite places to take you is in his temple and on the altar, tasting every inch of your body as he spreads your legs widely and the nails tease your genitals

The thought of choking you with his hair crosses his mind more than once a day and sooner or later he will propose the thing to you

Brahma

💐

Nerdy boy, nerdy boy! He knows a lot of things, he is a walking library

Brahma is mostly serious, but possesses one of the brightest smiles you will ever see

He is the type to cry in front of his favorite works of art

He is probably excellent at playing more than one instrument, and he is also a great teacher if you want to learn

This god would take you anywhere in the world, just ask and any place you want to visit he takes you there

If you like culture and anything creative you have found the perfect man for you

🚨

He is not very knowledgeable about sex, but he learns quickly by taking all his time to see and hear how and where your body reacts to his touch

He soon discovers that he is almost insatiable

Be that as it may, he blushes immediately when someone starts talking about the matter, making everyone else tease him good-naturedly

Switch, but with the time leaning towards the dom

No part of your body excites him like your hips, especially when you try a dance move or shake them on purpose to see his reaction. And trust me, you nail it A LOT.

He has a kink for glasses, so people who wear them attract him very easily

But revealing clothes work well for him too, because it is hard for him to resist the sight of your body tightly wrapped in clothes that highlight the right points

Diplomatic Relations

Record of Ragnarök - Shiva x Male Reader. Mentions of Indra x Male Reader

Warnings - 18+Only. Adult situations.

Still suffering from the curse of Writer's Block, but thirsting with @icy-spicy over Record of Ragnarök (particularly guess who) got some creative ideas flowing. So blame her and thank her for this blasphemy :P

Shiva could not believe the Gods Council had been prolonged for this.

Indra stood at the centre of the chamber, his posture straight but somehow relaxed, presenting himself with his usual cool, confident demeanour. But even at a distance, he could spot the occasional, unconscious flex of his fingers, loosely gripping a pale sheet hanging low around his hips. It was only the slightest twitch of nerves, but Shiva wondered with some amusement when Indra had his last cigarette.

The God of Destruction let his gaze slip over his fellow deity's bare shoulder, where he could see You somewhat peeking out from behind Indra's back, your expression a good deal more sheepish. You similarly had a long sheet draped over your shoulders and spilling down at your sides, but it was plain to see you were both naked, wet and completely at the centre of attention.

Somewhere above Shiva, in the Chairman's Seat, Zeus was howling with laughter.

"...ahem."

Hermes cleared his throat politely, but loudly, only barely being heard over his father's wheezing cackle. "Thank you all for your attendance. This meeting of the Gods Council has been called to address the conduct of Indra, God of Lightning of the Hindu Pantheon, and...." Hermes blinked a few times, peering thoughtfully down at You. "...my apologies, which of Aphrodite's sons are you again?"

You huffed, looking indignant. From her seat across the hall from Shiva, Aphrodite made an eerily similar sound, snapping her fan shut with a loud click. "Really, Hermes. Get to the point, will you? This hardly seems like something to call all of us for."

Hermes smiled serenely at the Greek Goddess of Love, as Zeus's laughter began to settle into choked chortles. "Very well." Hermes lifted a large piece of parchment, clearing his throat once more. "The two deities before us today stand charged with the unlawful destruction of a Temple of Aphrodite in the human world."

There was an immediate rumble amongst the gathered gods, several voices rising up at once.

"Wait, a temple dedicated to his mother?" Kali asked from beside Shiva, sounding confused. "Why?"

"This is an outrage!" Somewhere near Aphrodite, Ares shot out of his seat, his face red as he pointed down at you and Indra. "How dare you?!"

"Well, this just got interesting." Buddha chimed in, chewing loudly on some sweet treat or another, looking awake for the first time the entire meeting.

You gave Ares an irritated glare, while Indra remained stoic, although Shiva could tell he was really craving a cigarette. Curiously, despite Ares yelling beside her, Aphrodite looked rather unconcerned about the destruction of her own temple. From what Shiva knew of the Goddess, this was a rather unexpected reaction.

"The Temple was empty!" You burst out, shaking your head furiously, sending drops of water flicking everywhere. "And the humans had abandoned the town for some festival, so its not like anyone was hurt--"

"You destroyed a town as well?!" You slapped your hand over your face as someone else cried out in shock.

You tried to keep talking. "I invited Lord Indra because I was...interested in learning more about his pantheon and--"

Indra snorted, loudly, and Shiva caught the smirk twitching onto his face before he quickly smothered it. You jabbed his side, hissing something that sounded distinctly like "You aren't helping!"

Shiva let his gaze trail over you, lingering on the exposed muscle of your thighs briefly before glancing back at Indra. "Nobody has mentioned the nakedness yet." He commented dryly to Parvati, who tilted her head in response.

"I was wondering..." She hummed thoughtfully, fingers gently stroking one of his arms. "I thought maybe it was some new fashion amongst the Greek Pantheon--"

You turned suddenly, and for a moment Shiva wondered if you had somehow heard them talking. You peered up, your head tilted, before a small smile bloomed on your lips. The sheet parted slightly, exposing your shoulders and upper arms, your stance shifting to show off more of your legs and thighs, barely concealed by silk. You lips moved softly, and Shiva could just make out the words--

"Like what you see?"

Shiva snorted at your audacity, feeling the edge of his mouth curve upwards in a smirk as he let his eyes slowly roam over you. "Yes." He mouthed back, and you grinned, slightly turning your body to the other side, your eyes sparking with mischief.

Parvati squeezed his arm. "Stop flirting, you." She covered her mouth in an attempt to smother a giggle. "You'll get us in trouble as well."

Hermes spoke again, his voice ringing over the rising noise of his fellow deities. "The Temple was destroyed by a powerful storm, which resulted in the town below becoming flooded." He raised the scroll higher, covering his face, but Shiva caught the slight, amused curve to his lips as he spoke his next words. "The storm was summoned via divine will during sex."

Shiva felt his eyebrows shoot upwards, sitting up with a jolt of genuine surprise. The entire chamber was silent for only a brief moment, everyone staring down at You and Indra in shock.

Aphrodite flicked her fan open again, a tinkling laugh falling from her lips. "That's my boy."

Everyone began talking at once.

"Wait, they didn't notice the storm because they were too busy fucking--?"

"Sounds like a good time."

"Apollo!"

"Indra lost control?" Durga sounded incredulous. "Our Indra?"

"Oh my." Parvati said softly, eyes drifting to wear you were standing, looking flustered. "It must have been very good, then."

"Parvati!"

"Only saying, Durga!"

Shiva laughed, loudly, reaching down to squeeze his wife's hand. She grinned at him, her own laughter bubbling in her throat, and Shiva could hear several others in the crowd join in on finding amusement in the situation.

Zeus finally seemed to have composed himself somewhat, wiping tears away from his eyes. "Oh, to be young again!" He chuckled, waving a hand dismissively. "Call this meeting to a close, Hermes. The damage was minimal--"

"The region where the Temple was located is now quite uninhabitable for humans, father--"

"Oh, two gods made love and inadvertently terrified some humans. Happens to the best of us." Zeus waved a hand dismissively, and Hermes sighed long-sufferingly.

"Regardless, Father, some discipline should be--"

"I agree with Hermes." A deep voice spoke suddenly, and Shiva lifted his gaze to where Odin sat, staring down at You and Indra with a cold, unimpressed look in his eye. "Accident or not, this can not go unaddressed. Or are the self-professed leaders of the Greek and Hindu Pantheons unable to control their own members?"

Shiva felt a stab of irritation - who was Odin to talk? Like his lot were so well behaved? - but he reached down to catch Durga's hand as it coiled around her weapon. Best not to start a brawl in the Gods Council Chamber (he could still remember the last one, and shuddered slightly at the memory. Nobody left that one unmarked.)

Zeus laughed, but Shiva could hear the sharp edge that had formed in his voice, the spark in the air moments before a lightning strike. He did not like to be questioned, either. "Perhaps you, Odin, would care too--"

Shiva seized the moment to rise from his seat, and spoke loudly and clearly. "He may return with us for a time." He gestured down to you and Indra. "To spend time among my pantheon." He smiled at you, allowing a faintly wolfish edge to enter his tone. "To learn from us. That is what you wanted in the first place, yes?"

You stared up at him in surprise. Beside you, Indra shook his head, but Shiva caught the pleased smirk flashing across his face. You shook yourself, grinning brightly as you bowed slightly towards Shiva.

"It would be a great pleasure, Lord Shiva." You said, tilting your head upwards, softly mouthing something only Shiva could hear. "For us both, I assure you."

Oh, he was going to enjoy you.

Odin sounded thoroughly unimpressed. "I hardly see what kind of punishment--"

"Oh, I'll put him through the ringer." Shiva said cheerfully, crossing his upper arms behind his head, grinning as Parvati struggled to contain her laughter beside him. "Both he and Indra. A good, stern talking to. Ensure it won't happen again, and all that." He nodded towards Aphrodite. "Does this please the offended party?"

Aphrodite smiled, looking delightfully amused. "Have your lovely wives share some of their finery, and I will consider it even, as the humans say."

"Ooooh!" Parvati waved from beside him. "I have some fabric you would love--"

"Excellent!" Zeus clapped his hands together, the sound of thunder signalling the end of the meeting. "Council adjourned."

Odin looked as though he wanted to smite everyone in the chamber, his birds squawking indignantly at his shoulders, but Shiva ignored him to focus on you whispering to Indra, who chuckled lowly and tugged at your hip as you both headed towards the exit. You cast a quick glance over your shoulder, shooting Shiva as playful smirk as you slipped around the corner.

You were going to be an interesting guest, Shiva thought to himself, smirking softly. He couldn't wait to hear a thoroughly clear account of you and Indra's encounter.

Perhaps a demonstration would be in order.

Have you watched "the apothecary diaries" anime? If yes, can you do a maomao reader x shiva, apollo and Aphrodite (separately) from record of ragnarok?

A/N: I have not watched ‘The Apothecary Diaries’ before, so I read up about Maomao and her personality, so there are no events from the anime stated, anyways, enjoy~~

●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・

🪩 You were by far one of the most curious humans he had ever met in his life

🪩 Shiva would have someone watch you when he was busy, either that or he would have you by his side, as you were prone to getting curious and getting into trouble

🪩 You first met Shiva when your adoptive father, Luomen, was called to help figure out an illness that one of the Gods have contracted from someone that had visited their temple a while before

🪩 The travel was long, but when you arrived and first looked into the eyes of the concerned Shiva, you smiled at him and reassured that Parvati would be fine, and that it was just a common God-cold, something that can happen at random

🪩 After that, he kept in contact with you

🪩 With spending most of your time in Valhalla’s Ancient China, it was hard to get any letters to you without something happening along the way to where you couldn’t answer for weeks

🪩 He would move from asking about illnesses and medicines to talking about his wives and the possibility of you becoming one

🪩 He flustered you with that question

●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・

☀️ He met you when Zeus needed a doctor to figure out why he couldn’t stand that day, and Apollo was the only person who had major amounts of connections to the best healers ever, because others didn’t need them

☀️ You walked into the Supreme Gods’ home and began to evaluate his pain before giving him medicine to help out

☀️ Apollo watched you fix him, and he was quite enamored with how you worked

☀️ As the God of not only the Sun but Healing and Diseases to, he understood your words right after you said them, and he would have to, in his words, dumb it down for the others in the room

☀️ Whenever he saw you again, most likely because a nymphs had gotten sick, or possibly another issue, he would always be the one to help translate what you said to the others

☀️ You and him bonded over your knowledge in medicine and diseases, to the point where you think he and your father may end up being best friends!

●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・○・●・

💐 She took care of herself so well that it was once in a blue moon that she got sick

💐 So in this case, one of her guards had gotten ill and no doctor she had called in could help him out, and it was stressing her out to the point of angry outbursts

💐 Ares and Heracles, who noticed her outbursts, had called into Hermes so he could get the best doctor for this guard

💐 That was when he brought you in

💐 You had diagnosed many different Gods, nymphs, and humans with illnesses that hadn't be documented or were unusual to them

💐 The way you carefully handled the male made Aphrodite flush, and the way you spoke? Goosebumps

💐 Aphrodite had never felt about someone like this before, as she normally only felt lust for people, not love, and it freaked her out to the point where she asked you what it meant

💐 Let's just say it was an entertaining time explaining to her why your face became a cherry

WHERE'S THE KID?

Ror characters x Nezuko! Reader

Just to say im alive😭

"Y/N WHERE ARE YOU!"

Y/n , a young woman who has been turned into a demon and her apparence turned into a child of six years old .

She was sleeping on a comfy pillow , the gods and human with the valkyries thought it will be better to leave the small girl sleeping alone ; after a couple of hours Brunehilde came back to check on Y/n but the small h/c girl has disappeared

Brunehilde kept calling for Y/n , searching for her but it was useless. She had disappeared .

Then Brunehilde has yelled the h/c name in the whole pantheon . Her scream was heard in the Valhalla , the Gods has recognized the name who was screamed by the Oldest Valkyrie .

"(Name) has vanished ?" Adam thought . His fatherly instinct kicked in , in a matter of seconds , he appeared infront of Brunehilde "Where is Y/n?" Adam asked in a stoic tone. Then Alvitr appeared "Y/N HAS DISAPPEARED!???" She yelled "CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT IT ! I WANT TO HAVE MY PEACEFUL NAP!" Hlökk yelled back.

"Girls , please stop it" Hrist tried to calm the twins . To which Alvitr and Hlokk continue to argued , Hrist's eye turned golden "BOTH OF YOU SHUT IT ! Y/N HAS DISAPPEARED AND THE ONLY THING U TWO COULD DO IS ARGUING !?" Hrist yelled , Adam kept eating his apple while Brunehilde facepalmed herself

●°○ A couple of minutes later●°•

Every pantheon knew that Y/n , the small demon who can always made every deities melt up with their cuteness has vanished

In the Hindu Pantheon , a bunch of deities who were searching the h/c demon girl

"Y/n ! Sweetheart !" Parvati worried , kept calling in the whole Svarga "Y/n ? Come out please!" Kali whispered "Y/n ! We have some ( favorite food) for you!" Durga called but theres wasn't any signs of you

"Oi Y/n , get your cute face here!" Shiva yelled , "Y/n , y/n!" Rudra called but they couldn't heard a small hum that voice could belong to Y/n

While the Hindu pantheon was inspeting Svarga , in the Norse Pantheon

"Huh? My precious little y/n has disappeared!?" Loki beamed , "No she went to the Shinto Pantheon and had tea time with Tsukuyomi ! Dumb idiot ! Of course she has disappeared !" Huggin snapped at the God of Deceit . Thor who's usually stoic , his behaviour isn't similar as everyday , "Look. Everywhere" Thor mumbled "Yea , hope we can find her soon' Muggin spoke . The birds were still on their Master's Shoulders , who was searching in every corner where in the Valhalla is Y/n . Well Y/n was nowhere to be found in every pantheon , every deities and human searched desespairaidely the h/c girl.

●°• After many days and night●°•

Y/n was found , she was sleeping on Thrud , who was protecting her with her strong arms . While Eve was sleeping on Thrud's shoulder

They were in Thrud room , "HEY THERE SHE IS !" Raiden beamed happily "Shhhh!" Shiva shushed the sumo who cannot keep his joy for himself , Parvati fainted on the sight of Y/n sleeping with Thrud and Eve saying , it was pure cuteness . While the others deities , humans and valkyries were finally satisfied that the small h/c girl who can melt everyone's heart within seconds was found

I liked your shiva headcanon story. May i request a one-shot with Shiva as a husband along with his wives pls? 🙏

Shiva x Spouse! Reader Oneshot - The Married Life

Ooooo~! My first official Shiva ask, so exciting!!

Thank you for sending in this request!! I'll try and give this fic justice!! Hopefully, it's to your liking!!

MASTER LIST | NSFW CONTENT

You were in your own separate room, you were reading a book, the windows were opened wide to let in the warm summer air into your room. The sun was high, and the birds were chirping, it was so beautiful here in Svarga Loka, the flowers were big and full, and the animals were always oh so kind. You were deep into your story, when your door was opened.

You looked up and seen Parvati, she was the sweetest of the wives. You smiled kindly at her, watching her timid form creep into your room. You silently went back to your story, listening to her shuffle around the room silently. She always came to your room for peace and quiet, this household wasn't exactly quiet, but it was peaceful. She usually came to your room to work on a new clothing project that she's been working on.

However, that silence won't usually last for more than two hours, until Durga and Kali would come storming in. They were the more chaotic wives, Durga was a warrior with high honor but she was very loud and aggressive. Kali was more of a mischievous devil, she liked causing issues within the house sometimes. You sighed, closing your book, knowing that reading time was over.

"Yes, Durga?" You asked her patiently. She stomped her staff on the ground. "I be looking for Shiva!! Where is our husband!?" She asked, her English was rather broken, having grown up in the mountains. You looked at her for a moment, thinking of where Shiva could be. "Maybe he's in the garden?" You suggested, she thought over your words and she nodded in agreement. "VERY WELL THEN!!" She shouted, before she slammed the door.

Kali was peeking her head in, nearly gotten it smashed in the harsh slam and you could here her bickering through the door. "HEY!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?" She shouted. "NO TIME FOR FIGHT!!! WE MUST FIND HUSBAND!!" Durga shouted back, you listened to their footsteps fade away and you sighed. You then looked at the closet door with a tired stare.

"You can come out now, Shiva." You said, the door opened and out jumped an excited Shiva. "WHOO!!! THEY ALMOST FOUND ME, DID YOU SEE THAT!? DID YA!? DID YA!? DID YA!?" He excitedly shouted as he bounced around. You shook your head at him. "Why do you always hide in my room during hide n' go seek?" You asked him. He stopped jumping around and he looked over at you. "BECASUE!! THEY'LL NEVER GUESS TO LOOK HERE!!" He shouted as he spread his arms out.

You shook your head at him and Parvati sighed. The door suddenly slammed opened and a angry Durga was seen standing there with a ditzy Kali behind her. "I KNEW IT!!! YOU BE HIDDING HERE!!!" She shouted, Shiva stared at her with a fearful look, before he tried to come up with some half ass excuse. "N-N-NO!! I WASN'T!! I'D NEVER HIDE HEEEREEE!!!" He screamed as Durga jumped at him, ready to catch him, but he ran off coming toward you. Your eyes widen and you picked up your items as quickly as possible, but you weren't fast enough.

Shiva jumped on you, causing you to shriek, he then picked you up and held you up like a shield. "DURGA, WAIT LISTEN!! YOU WOULDN'T TACKLE POOR, SWEET, LITTLE (Y/N) WOULD YOU!?" He shouted, a sinister yet fearful smirk on his face. Durga continued to charge, a prideful smirk on her face. "OF COURSE I WOULD, PAVATI IS THE CUTE ONE AFTER ALL!!" You stared at her offended while Shiva looked around frantically for Parvati, but in her space was an outline of where she used to be.

. . . 'THAT LITTLE TRAIDTOR!!!' Both you and Shiva thought at the same time, but you didn't have much time for anything else, because Durga lunged at you both tackling you both in the ground. You both shouted in complaints, but Durga didn't care, Kali tipped over, a cat like grin on her face. "I WANNA DOG PILE TOO!!" She shouted before she jumps onto the pile. Parvati peeked into the room, a cute little smile on her face. "I love my family." She spoke.

Gods (Loki, Hermes, Shiva, Zeus, Hades, Rudra, Parvati, Kali and Durga) react to Child!Reader telling them she was late to Shiva’s dancing lessons because she was feeling ‘Pudge the Fish’ and it’s important to her because he ‘Controls the Weather’ but she had to go to the store to buy Peanut Butter because she only had Tuna (That scene in Lilo and Stitch)

Later, when Rudra comes over to pick her up, Shiva tells him about it, only Rudra to call that ‘odd’ because Reader gave him a PB&J sandwich today, who’s laughing/already dead on the floor after realizing ‘Pudge the Fish’ IS Rudra! (Rudra’s grumbling because he’s NOT a fish) and she makes Rudra turn to stone by saying “But your a Sandwich away from becoming Pudgy!” (Cue Shiva on the floor dying because he can’t breath)

-Your little pants filled the air as you ran into the grounds of Shiva’s house, hearing the music playing, nearly tripping once or twice. You were late to your dance lesson and trying to hurry.

-You ran in and didn’t realize the floor was wet and slipped, immediately crashing to the ground, halting everything as Shiva ran over, “Whoa there, Y/N- you okay?” he helped you up as you were trying not to cry from the pain as he made sure you weren’t hurt.

-Once you confirmed you were fine he ruffled your hair gently, “Was wondering where you were- you’re never late.”

-You wiped the last of your tears from your eyes, “I had to feed Pudge a peanut butter sandwich so he would make sure there was good weather for the performance tomorrow. I didn’t have any peanut butter, only tuna, and he hates tuna, so I had to go and get some.”

-Shiva was confused, as was Parvati as she and his other wives came over along with the other students, hearing what you had said. Kali held her cheek, a bit confused, “Who is Pudge?” you beamed brightly, “He controls the weather and he’s happy if he gets a peanut butter sandwich- so a happy Pudge makes for happy weather!”

-This… didn’t help their confusion at all, thinking you were adorable.

-Loki snickered warmly as he swept you into his arms, making you squeal lightly in delight, “You never feed me peanut butter sandwiches!” you couldn’t help but giggle, “You never asked me to!” Loki pouted cutely, rubbing his cheek against your own, whining about you being unfair.

-Hermes, who returned with a towel to clean up the water that was accidentally spilled, smiled seeing you and became concerned that you had fallen, kneeling down to be at your level to ask if you were okay.

-Zeus chuckled warmly, coming over, patting your head gently, “Y/N is fine- we’re just trying to figure out who Pudge is.” Hermes’ bewildered look of confusion joined the others.

-Rudra entered shortly afterward, panting himself before seeing you, giving you a smile, “I told you I would bring you to the lesson if you gave me a minute- it’s a good thing you’re full of energy.”

-You beamed, hands on your hips as you were in Hades’ arms, after he had picked you up, seeing your cheek turning a bit red from your fall, something him and Parvati checked out, making sure you weren’t hurt.

-Durga grinned over at Rudra, “If you were just with Y/N then you should know who Pudge is- she said she gave him a peanut butter sandwich.”

-Rudra immediately froze, looking confused, “That’s weird- Y/N gave me a sandwich right before coming over here.”

-All eyes went to you before Loki, Zeus, and Shiva burst into laughter, roaring loudly, falling over themselves, clutching their stomachs as Rudra pouted, coming over to poke your other cheek, the one that wasn’t red, “Oi! I’m not pudgy!!”

-Shiva couldn’t breathe while his wives were giggling, thinking it was cute as you pouted, “But when you eat your cheeks get all pudgy!!”

-Loki was pretty sure he was going to die from laughter as Hades chuckled, setting you down to join your friends in the lesson, ruffling your hair, “Some nicknames like that can be a little mean, Y/N- some might not think they’re cute like you do.”

-This made your eyes widen in shock before your ran over to Rudra, leaping into his arms, eyes full of tears, “I’m sorry Rudra! I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings!!”

-He couldn’t stay mad at you, giving you a hug, trying to calm you down as you were to the point of bursting into tears, “I still want your sandwiches because they’re full of love, just don’t call me Pudge anymore, okay?”

-The two of you linked pinkies, promising each other and you took Kali’s hand as she and her co-wives herded you and the other kids to a different area to practice your dancing, since the previous practice ground was full of laughing gods, even more so when Rudra lunged at Shiva, getting into a mock fight.

So I saw a lot of criticism by the Sanghis that Hindu mythology is not something one should write fanfiction about or that it's a religion, and therefore people shouldn't interpret and create stories of their own. But let me tell you something: the culture of fanfiction and re-interpretation of Hindu mythology is not at all new; it has been going on for decades.

So, as I said before in the blog, I am a Bengali, so most of the examples I will give are from Bengali literature. So Krishna is a huge part of these fandoms, and a lot of people write and draw things related to him. But this is definitely not a new thing; it has been going on since the time of Joydev's Geeta Govinda and Vidyapati's Vaishnav Padabali. There is a famous poem by Rabindranath Tagore:

শুধু বৈকুণ্ঠের তরে বৈষ্ণবের গান!

পূর্বরাগ, অনুরাগ, মান অভিমান,

অভিসার, প্রেমলীলা, বিরহ মিলন,

বৃন্দাবন-গাথা,—এই প্রণয়-স্বপন

শ্রাবণের শর্ব্বরীতে কালিন্দীর কূলে,

চারি চক্ষে চেয়ে দেখা কদম্বের মূলে

সরমে সম্ভ্রমে, —এ কি শুধু দেবতার!

Which translates to

"Are the songs of Vaishnav for Baikuntha alone?

Courting, attachment, sulkiness, sensitiveness,

Tryst, dalliances, parting and union, theme of,

The songs of Brindaban – this dream of love,

In the Shraban night on the bank of the Kalindi

The meeting of the four eyes under the Kadambatree

In blushing adoration - are these all for the Lord?

Most of the Vaishnav Padaboli and Radha Krishna Leela poets were very much influenced by their personal lives, which makes sense because they never really saw Radha Krishna with their own eyes, so obviously they need some kind of reference and muse for their works. For example, it is said that Vidyapati drew inspiration from the real relationship between a man and woman in that contemporary period for Radha and Krishna. He created the character of Radha from the very image of an adolescent, joyous young girl of that time period. His radha has a lot of human qualities. Then Chandidas, another important poet, apparently based Radha on his own lover, Rami. Rami was a lower-caste woman with whom Chandidas had an affair, but he couldn't marry her because it was not socially acceptable. Chandidas's Radha is portrayed as a sad woman, mourning for her lover from the very beginning, even before she meets Krishna, and it didn't change even when she was united with Krishna, as she was based on Rami, a woman who could never be with the man she loved due to society. Apart from them, the poets who composed Radha Krishna hymns during and after the rise of Sri Chaitanya in Bengal started including Chaitanya in their poetry. They wrote hymns dedicated to Chaitanya alongside Krishna; some of them even started crafting similar descriptions and personalities for both Radha and Chaitanya. It's from their narrative that Radha's love for Krishna symbolises devotees love for god; it was literally Krishna x Chaitanya. CHAITANYA FANFIC!!)

Apart from Vaishnav Padabali, we can also find examples of such works in Sakhta Padabali. For example, the whole concept of Durga pujo in Bengali is inspired by married women visiting their paternal family once a year with their children. The poets basically localised the mighty goddess Durga as a young girl married to Shiva, who is old and penniless. Several poets, like Ramprasad Sen and Kamalakanto (I don't remember his title), wrote hymns from the point of view of Menaka (Parvathi's mother) as she begged Giriraj (Parvati's father) to bring her daughter back. She chides Giriraj for marrying her young daughter to Shiva, who is old and penniless and roams in the crematorium with his ghost acquaintances. She worries about her young daughter suffering all alone in the Himalaya with no one to take care of. Isn't this also a kind of fanfiction? Where goddesses are made into normal women?

Also, if we talk about Mahabharat and the Ramayana, they also had fanfiction even before the rise of Wattpad and Tumblr. All the translations (except a few) adopted these epics in such a way that they could fit into their culture and contemporary society. It's a known fact that Tulsidas's Ramayan deviates a lot from the original one (Maya Sita, vegetarianism, etc.).

So in a way, it can be a retelling of some sort. So if we are shitting upon the culture of retelling and fanfiction, we should also talk about these examples, not only the modern ones. The truth is that retellings and fanfictions are necessary for these types of stories to survive. It makes sense that one modifies these age-old stories so they can fit into contemporary society. Every piece of ancient literature, be it the Greek epics, the Bible, or Hindu mythology, has its own share of retelling and fanfiction. These are not owned by a certain group of people; they don't have the right to gatekeep. People can and should explore these stories from their own point of view. They have the right to rewrite and retell the stories from a modern perspective. So before you chide a blog on Tumblr for writing Mahabharata-inspired fanfiction or incorrect quotes or bully them for writing a canonically incorrect ship,or critices them for writing self insert fic with Krishna stop and think for a second.
