Clarisse la rue x repunzel!pesephone!fem!reader
Reader spent their entire life hidden away in a tower to protect her from the outside world wanting her for her powers, its only when a certain daughter of ares finds her scared and confused, that she finally gets to see the outside world like she always longed to.
Warnings:
Toxic parents, yandere!parents, oblivious!, Clarisse being stubborn, overprotectiveness, cannon typical violence, readers not got the best survival instincts 😭, reader is blonde, more to come maybe
Gods had a weird way of protecting people. And while you could confidently say they your parents were never intending to harm you or your siblings. They definitely went about it in weird ways.
Of course you never realised this, being locked away in a tower your entire life was all you even knew. You didn’t understand that your life wasn’t normal.
You didn’t realise you weren’t the only child your parents had hidden off in magical locations to protect them from Zeus and the dangers of the world in their own twisted ways.
And so you stayed where you were, waiting in your tower for the days that your parents would come and visit or the few creatures of the forest you had befriended came to your window.
With not much else to do but paint or read everyday in the same walls. Your hair growing and failing to ever stop, getting to the point of it being constantly in the way.
🍊☀️🪷
Clarisse was beyond confused.
She was 150% sure they had come the same way they had 100 times before. She was convinced. And yet there had never been a giant tower int he middle of the path all the other times they had taken this route.
Her brother suggested that maybe they took a wrong turning, surely they were just lost.
But Clarisse refused to acknowledge the idea she could even being wrong, no she was curtain they came the right way.
Besides they needed somewhere to camp out for the night anyway, so she took off towards the tower.
“Clarisse what are you doing?” Her brother shouted after her, the girl from the Hermes cabin turning to give him a look of annoyance.
The two followed after the girl, watching for a while as she searches around for some sort of entrance before giving up and turning back to them.
“Come on, we need to find a way up” Clarisse tells the two, not being able to find any sort of entrance other than the window near the top of the tower.
“Why?” The blonde girl asked in annoyance, “can’t we just go find somewhere to settle for the night?”
“Yeah clarisse it’s getting late, we can find our bearings in the morning” her brother added.
“This is somewhere to settle for the night” Clarisse stated plainly, rolling her eyes when the two stared at her in confusion, “it’s a giant tower in the middle of nowhere with no doors…no one’s living up there”
“I don’t know Clarisse…I mean this is meant to be a satyr trail, surely someone’s up there” the boy tried to reason.
“Aren’t you curious?” Clarisse asked, “I know we came the right way, this part of the route is blocked off, there is literally no way we got lost”
She was right, this small section of the trail was hidden away, you could only get in and out through two small entrance/exits, covered by plant life to hide it off.
They had been through the secret path a million times and never once was the tower there.
“Well how do you expect we get up?” The girl asked in defeat.
Clarisse looks around for a moment, before grabbing the bag off of her back and pulling out two daggers and holding them up to the two.
“No” the elder boy stated, to which Clarisse turned and made her way towards the walls of the tower, grabbing onto the vines to test their strength, “no no no Clarisse stop it right now”
The girl ignored him, stabbing the dagger into the wall inbetween the cracks and using both of them and the vines to begin to pull herself up the wall.
“I swear to god Clarisse get down right now!”
“I’ll see if there’s another way to get up once I’m up there” Clarisse calls down to them as they stare at her dumbstruck.
“I’m gonna kill you when you get down!” he called up to her.
“I hate your sister” the blonde said to the boy nonchalantly, collapsing to sit on the floor and wait for the ares daughter to be done you her adventure so they could get to bed.
“Tell me about it” the boy replied glaring up at her as she made her way to the top.
Clarisse made her way up, using the, surprisingly strong vines and plants growing off of the tower as her main support on the way up.
Once she made it to the window she pulled herself up on to the ledge, looking down to see her quest mates sat on the ground talking, rolling her eyes at the sight.
She quietly forced the shutters of the large window open, stepping on the flower bed as she climbed through into the room.
🍊☀️🪷
You hadn’t heard anything while Clarisse had been climbing up the walls, busy in your room painting as she entered into the main room of the tower.
Your hair was laid around the different rooms, leading through doors and hanging from ceilings in an attempt to keep it out of your way, something Clarisse stared at in confusion as she quietly wondered around the room.
She was clearly wrong about no one living in the tower, there were candles and lights lit across the room, and a fire lit int he fireplace.
The kitchen was full of food and everything was relatively clean. And not to mention the yards and yards of hair laid across the place.
That’s what confused Clarisse the most, surely no human had this much hair.
She was shocked out of her thoughts when she stepped backwards, tripped on some of said hair and fell onto the floor, alerting you in the other room.
You heard the noise and turned around quickly, your hair curling round you slightly causing it to tug, getting caught underneath Clarisse and yank on your head slightly. Making you squeak in shock.
Clarisse heard this from the other room, her eyes widening as she looking towards the doors that someone clearly resided in.
Both of you grabbed your weapons, Clarisse clutching one of her daggers, and you running to grab a vase off of a cabinet. Inching your way towards the door that separated the two of you as Clarisse stood up.
Clarisse started to walk up the stairs towards the door as you walked down the hallway, both of you stopping at the door before Clarisse decided to push through it suddenly.
You screamed as the mystery girl collapsed on top of her, hair covering your face as you flailed about, trying to get her off of you as she try’s to find the dagger that she lost on the floor.
“Get off of me” you grunted, pushing the hair out of your eyes and attempting to push her off of you, “who are you?”
Clarisse finally finding her dagger, held it to your throat, causing you to stop fighting back, breathless and staring at the weapon in her hand with wide eyes.
“Who are you?” Clarisse retorted, glaring down at the girl as if she wasn’t the one breaking and entering.
“You’re in my home” you say back in shock, frowning at how the knife gets closer to you.
“And I’m holding the dagger…see how this works?” Clarisse tells you with a smirk, flipping it in her hand as she kept it near your throat.
“I-I’m y/n…” you replied slowly, not knowing what to tell her. Looking at her with wide eyes as she huffs in realisation that it wasn’t the most helpful question to ask.
“Well why do you live here?” Clarisse asks noticing the way the girl looked confused and adding, “I mean you’re in the middle of the forest in a tower with no doors…”
“And I mean what’s going on with your hair, it’s so long” Clarisse continued, “and who uses a vase as a weapon?”
You didn’t really know what to say to any of that, looking at her blankly.
“I…don’t know” you answered eventually, adding in a small voice, “can you please get off of me”
Clarisse sighed, getting up slowly but still holding the dagger pointed towards her as she did.
“Why are you in my house?” You asked meekly, staring at the dagger in fear. Clarisse rolled her eyes noticing your wariness, putting the dagger down to her side to try calm you down.
“I’m not gonna hurt you unless you try anything ok?” Clarisse stated, “I was just looking to see if we could stay the night in here, I didn’t realised anyone lived here or anything”
“We?”
“My friends, well not really my friends but, well they’re just outside” Clarisse told you, “why are you in a tower by yourself exactly? And seriously what’s going on with your hair”
“I just live here…I don’t know what you mean” you answered, “and I guess it’s just my hair…my mum says it’s special”
“Your mum? Special how what do you mean”
“I don’t know it just is” you said, “w-wait, no, I’m not meant to tell anyone that”
Clarisses eyebrows furrowed at that, looking at you as though you were an idiot causing you to blush at her.
“Why can’t you tell anyone about your hair…” Clarisse asked.
“Mummy said not to” you said hesitantly.
Clarisse smirked at that, only seconds ago you said you couldn’t tell anyone and yet here you were continuing on with the subject.
“And mummy is?” She asked condescendingly, something you didn’t pick up on as you went to answer.
“Ummm Persephone…” you responded simply.
“What?” Clarisse asked in confusion, looking at you like you were mad. Sure, she knew you couldn’t be mortal, but a demigod?
She supposed the flowers and plants in full bloom in autumn made sense by that, it didn’t quite explain the hair but she was sure it had something to do with that.
“You’re a demigod?” She asked in confusion.
“What?” You replied, furrowing your eyebrows as you looked at her, “what’s that?”
Clarisse stared at you for a moment, you felt like she was scrutinising your entire existence as she looked you up and down.
Suddenly she grabbed your arm and pulled you towards the door, you stumbling as she continued down the stairs towards the main room of the tower and leaving you stood in the middle.
You watched her as she made her way to the window, opening it again and shouting down at her ‘friends’ she told you about earlier.
“It’s all safe” Clarisse shouted, before turning back to you, “do you have any rope?”
You looked at her in shock that she was just inviting people inside your home, speaking when she sent you a look of annoyance, “no?”
Clarisse looked around the room for a moment before settling on your hair that hung around the room, turning back to you with a new look in her eyes.
“You sure?” Clarisse asked, leaning down to pick up your hair and hold it up for you to see.
“W-what? No you can’t use my hair!” You told her, rushing forward to remove it from clarisses hands leaving you stood right in front of her.
She looked down at you with a smirk, taking the hair back, “come on, they won’t hang from it or anything, they just need something to hold for leverage to get up”
You rolled your eyes with a pout at that, looking up at her before walking towards the window, looking down at the two on the ground, who were now beyond confused at the blonde girl appearing.
You leant over to reach the walls of the tower then, Clarisse running over to hold on to you as you stumbled slightly, “be careful!”
You blushed feeling her hands on your hips, shaking yourself out of it and leaning down to touch the plants and vines attached to the stone.
Clarisse watched as the plants grew, covering the side of the wall all over and bits of vines hanging down for the two at the bottom to hold on to.
Once it was fully grown you turned back around to Clarisse, underestimating how close you both were when you did so.
You smiled up at the shocked look on her face, proud of yourself for figuring out a solution to the situation, hearing clarisses brother begin to scale up the side of the wall as you and Clarisse faced each other.

Okay, I'm gonna go a little
Tumblr media
but hear me out:
If Melinoe is the ghost goddess/chthonic nymph and has the same hair color as Persephone, and following the Melinoe hymn it's said that "whom revered Persephone bore by the mouth of the Kokytos river", I'm betting money on the fact that she was born just after Zagreus, but since Mel was... you know, phantom-like:
Tumblr media
Persephone could not just leave her to be or get back to the Underworld, so I'm theorizing she did the second best thing: leave Melinoe with someone else who was more apt to take care of her, someone like...
Tumblr media
since Melinoe was called a, you know:
Tumblr media
and she also calls the new big mommy Headmistress, so if I'm theorizing right said headmistress could either be Hecate, Circe, or Medea. Circe is a good option because of her island, which is somewhere the teaser seems to be happening at? Or a garden of some kind, or Olympus garden for all that I know because Chronos got himself free and brought war upon the Olympians, and on that note, I would like to point out that this place can very much be Poseidon's domain:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some other things that I would LOVE to point out:
Tumblr media
This guy is a son of Nyx. He's Thanatos and Hypnos' brother.
Tumblr media
Nemesis is also a daughter of Nyx and it's said in canon. Also: LOOK AT THE FUCKING SWORD.
Tumblr media
And Supegiant said in the Steam intro that:
"Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities. Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds."
Can we expect Hera, Hephaestus, and Hestia? Because we already got this gay- I mean, guy.
Tumblr media
Halfway through this, I was like "ok but the headmistress dress like Charon so it would be pretty fucking funny if it was just Nyx with a hat" and this thought does have some credibility bc:
Tumblr media
I MEAN??? LOL I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT I ALSO MIGHT BE RIGHT?? I think two chthonic gods in a trench coat are not too far-fetched for Hades' standards
Tumblr media
(Will she be a boss? Will Chronos be a boss? WILL CHRONOS STOP TIME JUST AS HADES GOT INVISIBLE?)
AND YOU CAN PET THE FROG, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT (its name might be Frino, because it was the name of the file when I got it from Steam).
Tumblr media
And who do you think this red-caped dude is? My friend is betting her money on Odysseus and Jason.
Tumblr media
And I would like to finish this madness with the fact that since Chronos is fucking shit up and Hades is trapped inside a BDSM dungeon like this
Tumblr media
Zagreus is probably doing what he hates most in this whole wide world: the desk job LOL GET FUCKED ZAG
AND GO WATCH THE ANIMATED TRAILER

I have something to say about the newest PJO episode and how Percy interacted with Medusa, as well as the themes in the episode as a whole.
What we just witnessed was both indicative of what will happen in the end of the series as well as a shift in the paradigm.
Throughout these first few episodes, they’re HEAVILY sowing the seeds of conflict and discourse over the gods’ treatment of their halfblood children. Percy himself is rejecting his father at every turn, claiming to be Sally Jackson’s son (good for him, we stan) and even choosing the guidance of his mother over the guidance of the gods’ when it came to how he regarded Medusa. You can see how he’s being nudged towards the path of Kronos by Luke and by Medusa, and at this point you might already be thinking that they have a point when it comes to defying the gods. After all, what good were they? If even the most powerful god could only transform his daughter into a tree in order to prevent her death, how useful were they really? (Yes I know Thalia gets resurrected by the Golden Fleece, but Zeus nor anyone else demanded a quest for the Golden Fleece until the tree was dying and the camp’s borders were threatened) In the end, Zeus chose the most politically correct way to save Thalia over the most morally correct option. Give her a “hErO’S deATh” so that a potential quest leader is out of the picture while still looking like the good guy 🙄
But back to how Percy treated Medusa. He chose to trust her because of his mother. He constantly defied the will of his more experienced and intelligent quest mate because he trusted his mother, and I think he sensed Medusa’s kindred spirit with his mother in her. In certain ways, they are alike. Both loved and abandoned by the same man, both being left with consequences neither expected could arise out of loving another.
I don’t think Percy wanted to kill her. Just like how he won’t want to kill Luke, in the end. Percy will fight tooth and nail to protect those he cares about, but that also means playing the long game. In the books, this isn’t some long thought out plan of his, he’s just kinda going for the ride in order to try and prevent as many human lives lost as he can. He makes himself invaluable to the gods and protects Olympus from a major threat in order to protect his people, his family, which is also why he uses this as leverage to change the status quo. The status quo put both Luke and many more from CHB into the hands of Kronos. To Percy, Medusa was not a monster but a threat to eliminate. To Percy, Luke will become a threat to eliminate (until the last second). To Percy, the gods’ treatment of their children will be a threat to eliminate. And we just saw a glimpse of what Percy will do to threats he feels he needs to eliminate.

“Okay, Sammy, tell me one more time what we’re dealing with,” Dean says as he drives into Victorville, California.
“Two people have died under mysterious circumstances. They were normal people with normal jobs until one day they suddenly went crazy and killed themselves. None of them had prior indications that they were mentally ill or had depression.”
“Yeah, that could be our thing.”
“I already called the sheriff. He’s expecting us.” Dean heads into town and stops at the local sheriff’s station. Both brothers get out and enter the station where the sheriff greets them. “Sheriff. I’m Agent Lennon and this is my partner Agent McCartney.”
“Thank you for coming out here.”
“Of course. What else can you tell us about this case?”
“I can do you one better. I can show you. Follow me.” The sheriff brings Sam and Dean to his desk where footage from a CCTV camera is already pulled up. “Go ahead. Press play.”
Sam sits down and presses play to start the video. There is a highway with passing cars and a diner on the other side of the road where someone is waiting for something. Thirty seconds pass before Sam sees something glitch in and out of the frame. If someone were scrolling through the footage, they would miss it but Sam knows what he’s looking for. As soon as the mysterious object passes through the frame, the man starts screaming in terror. He pulls at his hair and runs into traffic where he gets hit by a car.
“Poor son of a bitch,” the sheriff sighs.
Sam rewinds the footage and stops on the figure that glitches into the frame. There isn’t a good angel for it but Sam knows it’s the shape of a woman.
“Was there footage of the first murder?” Dean asks.
“No. It happened inside the victim’s home.”
“If you get any more footage, please let us know immediately.”
“Sure thing.”
Sam and Dean finish up at the police department and leave together.
“Did you see the ghost?”
“I’m surprised the sheriff didn’t.”
“We should check the diner for any signs of EMF.” Sam and Dean drive over to the spot where the second victim killed himself. CSI and the police already investigated here, so the place is pretty empty. No one wants to go to a diner where someone saw a ghost and freaked the fuck out. “Why don’t you see what you can find out? I’ll talk to the staff inside.”
Dean leaves his brother’s side and heads inside while Sam takes out his EMF reader. He walks down the entire length of the parking lot but not a single abnormality shows up on the reader. It doesn’t take long for Dean to finish talking to the staff inside and he joins his brother’s side when he’s done.
“Anything?”
“They didn't see a thing. It was too dark to see if there was another person. All they knew is that he came in by himself, ate, and left. Minutes later, he went crazy and killed himself. What about you?”
“Nothing. There is no evidence that there was any ghost here. It’s weird, we definitely saw a ghost on film.”
“What else could it be?”
While Sam and Dean ponder on that questions, two teenage kids hang out at a grocery store on the other side of town. They’re known as the troublemakers of the town. They love getting into fights, trashing people’s houses, skipping school, and causing headaches for most of the adults in town. Dylan and Jaden are best friends who feed off each other’s energy so there is no stopping them whenever they come together.
Dylan is resting on the hood of his car while Jaden is smoking next to him. They’re in the mood for a little fucking around with the locals in town. The best kind of people to fuck with are the tourists and people who pass by their town because they don’t know the boys’ reputation. Someone new moved to town not that long ago making him the perfect target for the boys’ torment.
The man is walking out of the store since his shift has finished and walks toward his car. Dylan nudges Jaden with his foot and gestures to the employee. Jaden takes a deep inhale from his cigarette and flicks it onto the ground.
“Melinoe, come out come out wherever you are,” Jaden smirks.
You emerge from the shadows with a look of hatred on your face. Dylan and Jaden smirk and point to the man walking to his car.
“I should kill you two instead,” you glare.
“Do that and you won’t ever see your heart again. Now go kill the bitch before we kill you,” Dylan threatens.
If someone is in possession of your heart, they have the ability to use you in any way they wish. If someone were to pierce your heart, then you’ll die a slow and painful death. These two idiot kids got ahold of your heart and now have power over you that no human should ever have.
You walk over to the man who has no clue what’s about to happen to him. You’re all for killing people and bringing their souls to the Underworld for punishment but only those who deserve it. The people you’ve killed never deserved it despite the two kids thinking they did. You walk past the man and touch his shoulder to let your powers flow through him. The man screams in terror and pulls at his hair as he is driven mad. He carries self-defense weapons to protect himself which he uses to kill himself.
You turn back to the shadows when you’ve done your part.
The next morning, Sam and Dean show up at the grocery store parking lot where the man killed himself. Dean talks to some of the staff while Sam takes out his EMF reader to check for paranormal signs. Much like the last scene, nothing shows up.
“Dean, this isn’t making any sense.”
“The store manager says we can look at his security footage. He got a good view of the parking lot. Come on.”
Sam and Dean walk inside the store and meet the sheriff at the manager’s office where the cameras are. The manager plays back the footage to the right after the man left for his shift. There are two kids by a car in the background that are illuminated by the light pole, and they’re watching the man walk to his car. A ghostly figure walks into the frame and they gesture for it to attack the man.
They watch as the figure walks past the man who then freaks out. He takes one of his self-defense weapons and kills himself with it.
“Who are those two kids?” Dean asks. The manager rewinds the footage and zooms in on both of them, getting a clear view of them. “Sheriff, could you identify them?”
“Yeah. I’ll have my men look into it.”
The sheriff immediately sends the footage over to his IT department who comes back with both of their identities and their addresses. Sam and Dean will take over from here, so they head over to Dylan’s house in hopes that he’s home. Dean and Sam walk up to the front door and knock three times. Five minutes later, Dylan answers the door with Jaden behind him.
“Yeah, what do you want?”
“Are you Dylan and Jaden?”
“What’s it to you, old man?” Sam and Dean push themselves inside their house and look around. “What the fuck are you doing?”
“Where is she?” Dean asks and shoves his FBI badge into his face. “Where are you hiding her?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The woman you use to kill people. Where is she?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Leave before I call the police on you. Do you even have a warrant to be in here?”
Dean is about to tear him a new one when you appear from the shadows in the corner of the room. Sam and Dean take out their guns with iron bullets and aim them at you. Dylan and Jaden step back when they see the weapons to stay out of the line of fire.
“Who the hell is she?”
“Those bullets won’t do anything to me.”
“Who are you?”
“I am the thing they keep hostage to kill others with,” you glare at them.
“Kill them,” Dylan orders.
This is it. This is your way out. At this moment, you don’t care about your heart or where they might have hidden it. The fact is, they don’t have it on them right now.
“No, I don’t think I will. I’m done being your bitch. It’s time you get a taste of your own medicine.”
You disappear from sight and allow them a few seconds of pure terror of not knowing where you are. You appear behind them and place your hands on both of their heads. You let your magic flow through their brains ten times harder than you did with the other victims. Almost immediately, they begin screaming their heads off in fear.
They didn’t know it, but they were declared dead the second they possessed your heart.
They claw at their hair, run their nails down their faces so hard it draws blood, and smash their heads against the walls multiple times. Dylan did it so much that his skull split open and his brain and blood spattered everywhere. Both men slid to the floors when they died, and you turn to the brothers who have shocked looks on their faces.
“My name is Melinoe but I go by Y/N these days. I am the Goddess of Ghosts, Nightmares, and Funerary Rites. I am the daughter of Persephone and Zeus and Hades combined. I’d like your help finding out where my heart is so I can be free.”
Sam and Dean call in the double suicide before leaving the scene as fast as possible. You join them in their motel room to talk about what you’re here for and what it means to have someone possess your heart.
“We’ve met some Greek Gods in our time but never someone like you. We’ve met your father.”
“Which one?”
“Zeus.”
“Despite what people say, Zeus is worse than Hades. Zeus got jealous of Hades and banished him to the Underworld.” Sam and Dean look at each other in silence. “Look, I know you think I’m a killer but I’m not a bad person. I only kill those who deserve it so I can guide their souls into the Underworld to exact their punishment. Those two idiots made me kill innocent people.”
“How did they do that?”
“They have my heart. I shouldn’t have killed them. They hid it so I wouldn’t grab it and leave them.”
“We’ll find it,” Sam smiles.
“Thank you. I’m not all bad, you know. I can reunite people with their dead loved ones for a few minutes. Cemeteries are my favorite places to hang out in.”
You, Sam, and Dean do some research on where Dylan and Jaden could have hidden your heart. They would have chosen a place where no one would find it. A place that could be abandoned or a cave. There aren’t a lot of spots like that around town so it’s easy to compile a list.
“What will happen if your heart is destroyed?”
“I’ll die. I had ownership of my heart for thousands of years until one day I met a man. A man who heard the rumors about me and what I can do. This was during the time when Greek Gods and Goddesses were roaming Earth. He’s the sole reason why I believe in love, but he’s also the reason why I believe in heartbreak. He stole my heart and it’s been passed around ever since.”
“Greek Gods were around in 900 BC. That’s a long time to go without your heart.”
“You’re telling me,” you scoff.
“I promise to get your heart back for you.”
“Thank you,” you smile sweetly.
“Okay, I have a list of three places where your heart can be,” Dean says. “The abandoned factory outside of town, the old Well House on someone’s farm, and a cave in Long Beach. Though, I don’t think they’d drive two hours for something so precious as a Goddess’ heart.”
“Let’s check the factory first. These guys craved power. I don’t think they would allow my heart to reside on someone else’s property.”
“Factory it is.”
You three head thirty minutes to the factory outside of town. Before you step foot out of the car, you can feel the power your heart holds. It’s here and it’s calling to you. You don’t have to search the entire property because you know exactly where it is. Your heart is inside a dirty box and you scoff at the treatment it got.
“Wow, never seen that before,” Dean mutters.
You grab your heart and it glows bright green at being connected to the person it belongs to. You move the top of your dress to the side and allow your heart to be absorbed back into your body. Your entire body glows bright green before dimming down, and you turn to the brothers with a smile.
“I can’t thank you two enough for what you’ve done for me. Please allow me to repay you back. Is there a dead loved one you’d like to see again?”
“No, we’re good. I just want to get out of this God-forsaken town,” Dean chuckles.
Sam looks at his brother in thought and gets an idea.
“Actually, there might be.”
It doesn't matter where a person is buried or where they ended up after death. You have the power to draw their souls back to you for a short amount of time to give a person a chance to talk to them. Dean is shocked when you pull his mother and father from Heaven to allow him some time to talk to them. Sam never knew them, not in the way that Dean did, so he gives this moment to his brother.
“You must love your brother to let him have this,” you say to Sam.
You and he are off to the side to give Dean some time alone with his parents.
“He knew them better than I ever did,” he shrugs.
“Listen, I don’t have to be in the Underworld right now. Would you like some company for a while?”
A blush spreads across Sam’s cheeks at the thought of spending more time with you.
“I’d like that.”

Can we get more of the Nikto baby?
Always!
This time we're including Love and Camilla (and a mention of Ghost) owned by the lovely @ghouljams as always! We've also picked out a name for our little Nikto baby, so from now on (unless y'all want something else) is Зинаида - Zinaida - a Russian girl's name meaning "the Life of Zeus" or "God-like". We might get Nikto and Reader naming their bab if that's something people want to see.
The next request being worked on is a new part for the Daemon AU, so stay tuned for that, it'll hopefully be out sometime this weekend so long as everything goes to plan.

It’s always interesting whenever you and Love get together to let your two little ones play. It’s a relief to have another human tackling the trials of raising a little monster with very no idea what to expect. However, it can be... troublesome at times to arrange your catch-up sessions.  
Whenever you meet with Love, her partner Ghost always accompanies her, not comfortable with her meeting you alone given your partner, and hell would freeze over before Nikto let you anywhere near Ghost without his presence. He would prefer it if you didn’t see him at all, but you’d managed to convince him that you do, in fact, need friends. Especially friends who were going through a similar situation to yourself.  
That’s why it’s more than a little tense as you and Love sit out in the backyard, hot drinks in hand while you watch your two babies play together on the soft grass at your feet. Carmilla and Zinaida both seem entirely oblivious to it, babbling at one another in their strange baby language, but for you, it’s difficult to focus with how intensely Nikto and Ghost are staring at one another.  
They’re like a pair of angry tomcats, bristling and glaring at one another. If one of them makes a wrong move it would immediately escalate into a fight, and you really don’t want to have to deal with two agitated, over-protective beasts tearing themselves and the surrounding woodland to pieces.  
Today, you’ve invited Love and Carmilla (and by extension Ghost) to your house since the babies seem to love playing in the dirt and grass. Unfortunately, this just makes Nikto all the more vexed. He’s possessive and territorial, and having one of his biggest enemies sitting just outside his den? Meters away from his own mate and offspring? You’re surprised he hasn’t snapped and chased them all off yet.  
You do your best to ignore the looming threat of death and destruction, and instead focus on your infant as she lays on the grass. She’s very recently learned how to push herself up onto her elbows when laying on her belly and is fascinated by everything she can see around her. Carmilla, however, is a little older and more mobile, able to sit up on her own and will occasionally attempt to crawl to her mum or dad.  
They seem to get along well enough though, despite their slight difference in age. Both of them happy to babble at one another while you chat with Love, plucking blades of grass in their chubby little fists and waving them around.  
Carmilla pulls up a small bloom that seems to have appeared out of nowhere and proceeds to happily munch down on it. Given Love’s non-reaction it must be a common occurrence. After nibbling on the petals for a while, she holds it out to Zinaida with a coo, and you’re only just fast enough to prevent your excited baby from trying to comp at the plant. She’s not quite ready for solid foods yet, despite her valiant attempts to eat it.  
Inevitably, being stopped from eating something you know she won’t like, your little girl’s face scrunches up and her bottom lip wobbles dangerously. Crocodile tears rush to fill the corners of her eyes as she looks up at you with her daddy’s icy blues, heartbroken by your cruel actions.  
She’s been crying and wailing constantly these past few weeks, teething providing a great deal of pain for the poor girl. The only thing that can soothe her seems to be snuggling up with her daddy, pressing her face into his chest and whining sadly. Not that you can blame her, the man has some nice pecs on him under all those long clothes.  
It leaves you feeling more than a little inadequate. With you, Zinaida will scream her lungs out, completely inconsolable. She sobs and flails and clutches as your shirt, distraught with the pain her gums are putting her through. It’s only when she catches sight of her dad that she calms a little, reaching for him with grabby hands.  
Nikto only needs to start humming for her to settle. You think they have some kind of magic connection to one another, because your partner seems to know exactly what she needs before she even needs to cry. Meanwhile, you can’t tell if she’s hungry or tired or just needs changing.  
At least she still seems to like you, even if you’re not psychic like her dad.  
Well, except for when you stop her from taking a bite out of a half-eaten flower, apparently. Clearly, you’re a horrible person and you hate her if you’re not going to let her consume every random plant she happens to come across. Even picking her up and smooching her squishy cheeks doesn’t absolve you of your terrible sins.  
“Sorry, someone’s been a little grumpy since her teething started,” you laugh to your friend, gently bouncing the baby in your lap, even as she whines sadly.  
Love just coos at her, “poor girl!” She says in a high-pitched voice, momentarily distracting the baby from her distress. It calms her enough to accept the teething ring you’ve offered her, immediately shoving it in her mouth, before she starts making a little contented sound toward Love, as if telling her all about the suffering you’re forcing her to endure.  
“It’s that bad?” Love asks, grinning when Zinaida grunts back, shoving the teething ring further into her mouth. You cringe slightly when drool dribbles down her chin and onto her shirt, but Love doesn’t seem bothered by the slobbery display. “Oh! And I got you something!” She says suddenly, reaching down to grab her bag, rummaging around in it for a few moments, before pulling out what looks like a much larger version of the infant’s current teething ring.  
“It’s a puppy teething ring!” She chirps, holding it out to Zinaida.  
Your first reaction is to be insulted that your friend is offering your baby a dog toy, but after thinking about it for a moment, yeah, it makes sense. For a human infant, a normal ring works fine, but for a grumpy, overtired monster? She needs something more substantial to curb her furniture chewing habit. Gnawing on Nikto’s scaley arms is one thing, but your antique wooden table? Not so good.  
You watch Zinaida accept the toy, huge in her tiny hands. Her current ring falls from her mouth and she immediately goes to bite the rubber toy. After a good first attempt, she decides that her human gums aren’t doing the toy justice and in the blink of an eye your chubby infant has turned into a wriggly lizard. You quickly shift your grip on the baby to make sure you don’t drop her, keeping her secure while all three of her heads descend on the chew toy.  
Carmilla looks utterly fascinated by the other creature, staring at her with massive, round eyes. She has that curious glint in her eyes that most predators possess, reflected back in Zinaida’s own. Perhaps one day the two will enjoy hunting together.  
“Looks like it’s a hit,” you acknowledge as your girl begins to gnaw at the toy with the teeth starting to poke through at the back of her jaw. Her eyes are slipped closed in absolute bliss, a happy purr rumbling through her chest.  
While you’re distracted, Carmilla offers another flower to one of Zinaida’s heads, giggling joyfully when the hydra snaps up the offered plant. The face of the lizard in question screws up in disgust, sputtering and spitting out the foul petals.  
She proceeds to scream until her daddy comes to save his “маленький дракон” from her cruel mother who allowed her to eat something so nasty.

Hera: I agree.
Demeter: That's why you are sad?
Persephone: Excuse me, what's wrong with everyone today?
Demeter: He may be a shitty man, but still it is no harm to watch him even from far away. He is our dad afterall.

Demeter: I'd rather not talk about it.
Persephone barges again into the room.
Persephone: What happened with Poseidon?
Demeter: Oh dear lord!
Hera: Spit it out sis!
Demeter: We slept together. Amphitrite found out and came here looking for the ankle monitor detector. But Poseidon was also there and we ended up fighting with Hestia swinging your white sheet as a peace flag.

Hephaestus: Because I know I was on the wrong. He had a relationship with Aphrodite way before. They had children together!
Hermes: Is that all? Then why did you break them apart?
Hephaestus: Because I thought that Aphrodite would ameliorate my status on this unholy mountain, but apparently that was wrong!
Hermes: I'm glad you acknowledge your mistake!
Hephaestus: I am a shitty brother!
Hermes: I think that Ares is gonna appreciate it.
Hephaestus: You think so?
Hermes: Both of you are very misunderstood bro. He is in tge same place as you.
Hephaestus: I hope it ends well this time!

Zeus Cabin Deep Dive & Analysis
Tumblr media
As stated in the Percy Jackson TV show and books, being a demigod sucks, especially given the broken system. Being a forbidden child sucks, given that it is an isolating experience. However, being the child of the god who is one of, if not the most responsible for the broken system, the god most unwilling to change his perspective, is the worst.
Not only that, add that in with the fact that being a child of Zeus gives you alot of added pressures in general. As a child of Zeus, you are expected to lead in one way or another, and almost always, children of Zeus have very little say in their paths in life.
Thalia Grace managed to escape the pressures of being a child of Zeus by joining the hunters. Jason, was a boy, so he didn’t get that same choice. Instead, he was forced to endure the pressures of being a child of Jupiter, until he was able to pass it down to someone else.
However, Jason was never truly free from these pressures until he died.
It also seems like, contrary to popular belief, Zeus isn’t a very popular godly parent. In a series of polls I ran, I asked people about their godly parents- nobody chose Zeus. The survey for Zeus cabin remained blank. I asked if people knew someone in real life who would be a child of Zeus, most said no.
Zeus, in general seems to be a very unpopular god in general, and it may seem very arrogant to many to claim to be a child of Zeus. I also don’t think there are a lot of discussions on children of Zeus in general.. because analyzing the Zeus cabin as a whole, there are many traits that I think alot of people don’t realize.
The curse of being a natural leader
While he is Roman, I am going to be including Jason in this analysis, because I think a lot of what applies to Thalia also applies to him, even if there is a slight difference.
Now, Jason and Thalia are the only two (demigod) children of Zeus we meet throughout the series, and both characters have distinct personality traits. Thalia, is much more hot-headed than Jason is. Jason is more experienced in leadership than Thalia is, but there is one thing they certainly have in common: they are often under immense amounts of pressure.
They are natural born leaders, mainly because their father is the king of Olympus. Leadership seems to be the trait most commonly associated with Zeus kids- even when I did the fandom survey, asking what traits people commonly associate with Zeus kids, nearly everyone said leadership.
There had always been a lot expected from Jason, being a child of Jupiter. He was expected to lead, he was Camp Jupiter’s golden boy, and sure, a lot of it was pure skill and experience, but a lot of it was also the fact that he was a child of Jupiter.
These pressures only followed him to Camp Half Blood, where he was immediately expected to lead a quest. Jason is shown to be somewhat tired of the expectations placed on him.
Thalia… was pretty much the same, just slightly different.
Thalia was not only a child of Zeus, but at one point, she was thought to be the child of the prophecy. So not only was she expected to be a leader, not only was an unreasonable amount of attention placed upon her for being a child of Zeus, there was also a level of danger that followed her around as well.
Until of course, she became a hunter of Artemis, and the expectations shifted back to Percy. However, I am fully of the belief that a lot of factors went into her decision of joining the hunt, but among the most significant factors, was that she would be free from the near impossible expectations.
Gifted Kid Burn Out
A lot of people associate gifted kid burn out with Athena kids, and don’t get me wrong, I understand why, but from examples we see in the text, children of Zeus often fit this mold much better. Children who are proven to be very gifted at a young age, very good at what they do, so they were given high, nearly impossible expectations.
Half the time, they had very little help or support navigating these expectations. Thalia ran away from home at a young age, and didn’t get to train at camp in the same way other characters were. Jason was raised by wolves… literally. So for the most part, they were left behind by the system that created them.
Then they are put into situations, with people just as good at leading, some just as powerful, after being told their whole lives they were the best at everything. That has got to suck, to be shown that you really aren’t as good at something you are supposed to be the best at.
For Thalia, we see her become a bit competitive, especially with Percy. Their egos, as children of the Big Three, tend to clash, because they are almost always fighting for the attention and respect of others.
Jason, however, does not know what to do with himself anymore. We see glimpses of him going through a existential crisis- why does he always have to be the leader? But what is he, if he is not a leader?
Thalia and Jason tend to show many traits of traumatized gifted kids, to the point where they just give up altogether.
The shittiest father in a world of shitty fathers.
Okay, this is obviously subjective, but Zeus, in the Percy Jackson universe, is probably the worst father, even towards his godly children. He quite literally tells Jason that he cannot openly show his pride towards him, or else his other children will get jealous. Not only this, but he is responsible for a lot of decisions that force godly parents to be somewhat neglectful towards their children, especially after the first series.
It is deeply implied throughout the two series, that Zeus does love his children… to an extent. He does not love his children enough to put his pride aside for them. So as isolating as it is, being Zeus’s son, they seem to be most isolated by their father.
In Conclusion
I feel like children of Zeus are some of the most misunderstood children, at least fandom wise. There seems to be this idea that all children of Zeus are arrogant assholes, like their father, but they are actually the most obvious examples of the gods’ neglect.
Overall, most children of Zeus find ways to be freed of their fate, of their responsibilities, because oftentimes, it is overbearing. Some die. Some pass the torch. Some join the hunt.
Either way, one thing is for certain: where there is a child of Zeus, there is a leader.

Modern blood of zeus x reader (assistant) pt. 1
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
you walked up the steps of the large building, you nodded to the doorman as he opened the large glass door for you. today was your first official day at Olympus. co. the biggest entrepreneurship company in the world.
you didn't expect to get the job and honestly still weren't sure that you weren't hired for other reasons besides the ones on your resume. you walked up to the receptionist, she was wearing a pretty flower blazer and pink skirt. she had olive skin and evergreen hair. "hello, I'm the new assistant." you say with a smile. she returns your smile "Alright, I'll check you in. May I have your name?" she asks sweetly. "y/n l/n" you say. she types it into the computer practically at an inhuman speed. "alright someone should be down to give you a tour in a few minutes, feel free to sit on one of the lounge chairs while you wait" she says pointing towards the elegant black leather chairs towards the left side of the room.
you nod to her before walking and taking a seat. you fiddled with the small golden necklace you wore for a few minutes before someone walked up. she was tall, with long white hair and tanned skin. she wore a short blue dress that wasn't the typical office wear everyone was wearing. "you're y/n I assume? My name is Artemis, and I will be the one showing you around today." she says with a kind smile. "it's a pleasure to meet you" you nod. She gives a hidden smirk "Follow me" she says leading you toward the elevator.
before pressing the button she turns towards a blonde male at the reception desk "Apollo if you could kindly wait until you're at home to make out with your girlfriend that would be appropriate." she smirks, and the man turns with a similar one. he was surprisingly taller than Artemis and wore a slightly more formal outfit. he had long golden blonde hair and golden eyes.
he blew a kiss goodbye to the receptionist and walked over. "so this is the new assistant our father hired." he tilted your chin to look at him "I personally can't say I blame him. I'm Apollo, son of Zeus" he smirks teasingly. "lay off of them brother, they're still so sweet and innocent" Artemis teases. she leans over and hits the button to open the elevator. "let us start." she gestures for you to walk in.
you walk in followed by them, you try to hide the blush of being in such a small space with them, you had to admit that they were both very beautiful. "what are your roles in the company?" you ask, truly wondering because their names never were mentioned in the interview when talking about the departments. "oh honey, we don't work here. we just wanted to do the kind thing of giving you the proper welcome tour" Apollo says with the same teasing smirk. "You're making them blush dear brother, how cute" Artemis comments.
the gods were on your side as the elevator dinged and the doors opened to the floor they were leading you to, saving you from your embarrassed blush. they led you down the hall to what looked to be a fancy breakroom, it had a beautiful view of the city and a full kitchen. Artemis sits at a table next to a woman with pink hair and a magenta mini dress. "aw who the cutie?" she asks. "this is y/n, they're my father's newest assistant." Artemis says taking a strawberry from the pink-haired woman's lunch. "this is Aphrodite, she's the head of our beauty department" Apollo says resting his chin on your head. "Its a pleasure to meet you," you say,
she laughs a bit "You're so kind and innocent, are you sure you're here to be an assistant?" she smirks hinting at something else. The twins roll their eyes. "I doubt he would hire another one for those purposes so close to the company's anniversary party. we all know he won't risk Hera causing a scene in anger." Apollo says, "Don't blame Hera for that. it's how any sane person would react if they knew their husband cheated in front of her for months." Artemis says losing her smile a bit.
Aphrodite smiles a bit. "I know, but the possibility is still there." she says in a sing-song voice. "well we must get going, we wouldn't want to make y/n late on their first day." Artemis says hugging Aphrodite and standing up. Aphrodite waved goodbye to the three of you as the twins led you from the breakroom.
they led you back to the elevator. "we're heading to the top floor now, I'm sure our father has work for you to start." Artemis says. you nod, and the three of you stand there waiting for the doors to open. once on the top floor they opened with a ding, the three of you stepped out to be greeted by a woman with a purple braid.
she was wearing a purple pantsuit with a purple cape. She looked at you with disgust and tilted her sunglasses down to look at you better. "so this is his newest one." she said with quiet hatred before walking away, her heals clicking against the ground. "who was she?" you ask looking where she left. "that's hera, shes Zeus's wife. try to avoid her she isn't too fond of his assistants." Apollo warns. "she's really pretty." you say.
"She was a model before she met her husband. but then once married she gave it up to help him with his business." Artemis says. "ah there's my new assistant, I hope that you've been welcomed properly." Zeus says walking from one of the offices. he was probably the tallest person in the office, he wore a blue suit with a purple flower in the front pocket. his greyish-brown hair down over his shoulders. he nods to his two children to leave, and they give you a last look of good luck before walking to the elevator. "if you would kindly follow me, I'll show you to your desk" he says gesturing the way.

I keep seeing the argument that Percy is plot armored and that other big three kids should be as powerful as him or more in the case of Thalia and Jason. I don't think that the inherent nature of their personalities is really taken into account.
The first argument is that Zeus is the king of Gods so his children should obviously be more powerful. This is a misunderstanding, Gods only ever transfer basic abilities to their children. Everything else that comes after is all a credit to the children themselves. (For e.g, how only Leo is able to summon fire even though there are many children of Hepheastus or how only Meg shows stronger, more deadly abilities of Demeter's domain.)
Percy's basic ability to control over water or earth comes from Poseidon but it's Percy's mindset, upbringing and motivations enhance and expand his abilities to the next level.
1)Thalia: She probably has more potential but is held back by her fear of heights and is therefore unable to exercise wind control. Her lightning control is way better and stronger but it's limited by her spite for Zeus or her overall fear of what ambition might do to her.(Titan's Curse subtly alludes to this)
2)Jason shows more inclination towards wind control more so than lightning perhaps because it's comes to him gar easier than lightning which requires rawness more so than discipline. His greatest downfall is his commitment to rules and his stern belief in doing things in a set way.
Jason is a lot of things, but he isn't very creative, nor is he a good out of the box thinker, so he just sticks to the rudimentary abilities he has and doesn't even think to explore Another good reason is that since Roman counteroarts of Gods are so disciplined, they do not indulge in the true raw nature of their power, and hence, Roman demigods are technically weaker in terms of raw power. (LOOK at the life expectancy of Greek demigods and how strongly they attract monsters).
He just doesn't have the touch of madness that sparks power in the big three children of Greek counterparts.
Jason is also not the type to damn the world for people he loves while we know the Jackson Family preaches the "do anything and everything under the sun to protect the ones we love. "
But mostly all of them, Thalia or Jason, believe there's a limit to what they can do or can be done and controlled while Percy has no sense of such predetermined boundaries. He is an open-minded and extremely adaptable fighter. He believes anything and everything could be used against his opponents, and hence, his fighting style is also better and far more unpredictable than usual. Percy also doesn't believe he is all that powerful, so he thinks there's always more to channel.
[It also helps that Poseidon favors Percy to the moon and back while Jupiter just gave Jason as a guilty gift to Juno.]
3)Now Nico has a good chance of being way more powerful than Thalia and Jason and isn't also very held back by moral concerns. His problem is that his powers are much too vast for him to control, and they always get the better of him. Raising the dead? Traveling through Shadows? Hands down Hades has the most op abilities to give. But this fact aside Nico also lacks the enhanced physical strength and the necessary experience to use his powers.
Last but not the least Percy is the most connected to his father's domain. He has sat on his father's throne, he has been in his father's secondary seat of power, Atlantis.
So overall, Percy is and will be the strongest demigod for a long, long time.

yandere platonic Athena x child reader? <3 - 🌓 anon
"You are my greatest pride." - Athena.
❝🦉— lady l: here it is <3, it took a while to post since me and the other author are working on other projects… I won't say anything now, but it will be posted and revealed soon :) and this project is valid for all the fandoms we write.
❝🦉 tw: yandere themes, mention of murder, implied torture, obsessive and possessive behavior, overprotection, protective and smothering yandere mother, manipulation.
Tumblr media
Athena is a wise and rational goddess, which is normally expected of the Greek goddess of wisdom. But what few know is how affectionate and motherly she can be, how she never had children it came as a big surprise to everyone when she introduced you as her child. Athena's newest obsession.
You came into Athena's arms after she, for some reason, decided to curse your parents. There are many theories as to why she did this, but the most credited one is because your parents offended her and, as she is extremely proud, the goddess didn't let it go. After cursing them, she saw you, a sweet and innocent child, and immediately became attached to you.
Athena is well known for being very serious and quite arrogant, the goddess has a huge ego and doesn't let any offense go by, no matter how small she is. But just for you, she is completely absent-minded and gentle, always encouraging you and being your biggest support.
There are few gods she allows to approach you. And when I say few, I really mean few, she doesn't want any bad influences around you, especially her father Zeus. Athena loves her father, that's a fact, but she's well aware of what kind of god he is and she doesn't and won't let you be corrupted by him, especially if it's lust. You're too innocent and naive for your own good but she wants you to stay that way.
She is very strict and stern, however. Athena expects nothing less than perfection and purity from her followers and these principles are meant for you. You have to be perfect in everything you do, have elegance and be chaste. This is not debatable, you will not tarnish her image or yours.
She'll do anything you want, as long as it's not extreme or irritating. She will paint, read, write and tutor you. Athena is the goddess of crafts, she will love it if you want to learn to sew, embroider or weave.
She trusts you, meaning you are allowed to go anywhere you want without having the goddess hovering over you. But don't get too excited, she has eyes and ears everywhere. She will let you think you are alone, but in fact she has ''spies'' after you. It's for your own safety, she'll tell you if you find out about it.
You will not be allowed to be romantically involved with anyone. Athena values your chastity and she knows that if you get involved with someone it means that it will be taken from you, taken from her. That can't happen, so you're never allowed to date anyone. You will remain single, pure and with your manipulative mother on your side.
Athena is so manipulative that no one would notice. You might think all your actions are your choices, but they're not. They are all from the goddess. She is always whispering venomous and manipulative words in your ear, subtly giving you the hint of something, from what clothes to wear to walking away from someone. It's all her.
Because she is Zeus' favorite, you and everyone else know that there is no escaping the goddess. If you, by some miracle, managed to escape your mother's watchful eyes, Athena will not panic. She will be very calm about it, to the point of worrying all the other gods. In reality, she knew you would escape, she knows where you are and she is waiting for the right moment to pick you up.
Athena is a manipulative yandere mother and extremely strict with you. She will punish you if you do something she doesn't like, she will mark your delicate and smooth skin with ulgy marks and scars as many times as necessary. Don't get her wrong, she's not a sadist, but she hates to be thwarted and if pain is the only way you can obey her, then so be it.
It may be hard to believe, but she is very affectionate with you. Athena loves to hug you, tell you bedtime stories, help you get dressed and watch you give her one of your wonderful smiles. She will only pamper you if she thinks you were good and deserved it, otherwise no pampering and gifts.
Once you've caught the goddess's gaze, there's no escape. She loves you very much, but she will not hesitate to have you deeply hurt if you are a naughty and desobedient child. No one can think of taking you away, and oh, if you were taken from her by some god or mortal, they will regret it. Tortured and sent to the depths of Tartarus. No one can hurt her baby, her child.

Yay, episode five is out!
I really like that this was the episode for Percy and Grover to show some of their knowledge. Percy is the one to figure out what the deal with the chair is. That it’s a replica of the throne Hephaestus made for Hera and that one of them would have to sit in it. Not Annabeth, Percy. Even though Annabeth most definitely knows the story as well, it’s still Percy who makes the connection.
Meanwhile Grover takes full advantage of his alone time with Ares. He gets him to open up by finding common ground. He’s such a sly little goat!🥰 He knows exactly what to say to get Ares right where he wants him. Percy suggested that they’ll need to be detectives and Grover aced it! He definitely figured out that Ares was somewhat involved, (huge spoiler, I guess, but the book’s been out for 17 years!) but we’ll have to wait and see about how much he actually figured out.
And we also get a glimpse of the winter solace field trips. Like they’re a yearly occurrence, which I always thought was a bit vague in the books but maybe that’s just me. And presentations? Oh, gods! Imagine the year around kids trying to put together their presentations in hopes of impressing their godly parents! What do you even do a presentation about for a Greek god? Unless you’ve done a quest recently I imagine that choice of subject is a bit of a moment of panic.
I really like the portrayal of Ares. Just sort of unhinged and a bit mentally unstable, just what I’d expect from a god of war and bloodlust. I know some people don’t really like PJO Ares not being entirely mythically accurate, but I think there is a reason for that. The gods in universe reflects what humankind sees them as, Apollo comments on that in ToA. And today, the wast majority of people, who only has a vague understanding about Greek mythology, thinks of Ares as a bloodthirsty war god and nothing else. Hence he’s not able to be much else. He hates everything and everyone, just some people slightly less than others.
Also Percy’s comments about how his dad saved him. I get the feeling he annoyed his companions a bit with his talk about it. I think it serves to show that Percy is still open to the idea that the gods aren’t all bad, and maybe some of them do care for them even if it isn’t as obvious as one would wish. He must also be dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions about it. Poseidon saved him when Percy fully expected to die, in stark contrast to Athena, who practically signed her own daughter’s death warrant. Annabeth hoped and trusted that her mother would help them, Percy expected his father to do nothing, and Poseidon ended up helping them without being asked. But no matter how remarkable that may be, it can’t erase twelve years of growing up without a father.
What we directly see it doing, however, is making an impression on Annabeth. She is now realizing that a kid shouldn’t have to grovel at their parent’s feet to get some love and recognition. Percy has been saying it all along and he ended up being right. Poseidon was the better parent at the Gateway Arch, he was the one who saw his kid in danger and stepped in to save him, without being asked. Poseidon’s love for Percy is more unconditional than Athena’s for Annabeth, and maybe Athena’s way of parenting isn’t as right as Annabeth believed. She says it outright. Zeus, Ares and Athena is like that but Annabeth don’t want to be like that anymore, she wants to be more like Percy, which ends up making an impression on Hephaestus. It’s a ripple effect. More and more people, gods as well as humans, can see Percy’s example and decide they want to be more like that too.
It’s overall a great episode, might actually be my favorite so far, but one thing that stood out to me like a sore thumb was the Fates. I just don’t see the reason why Annabeth is the one to see them this time around. In the books it’s Percy, before he even meets Annabeth, and I just don’t see the reason for this change!
On a more positive note, Hermes is up next! Now it’s basically confirmed that the clip with him in the trailer was from the Lotus Hotel and Casino. He hangs out there? Oh, gods! But that must come with a scheduling nightmare, and he’s busy enough as it is!😅 I can’t wait! And again, if you don’t like Lin Manuel Miranda as Hermes, do me a favor and block me, Lin is the Perfect Hermes and you may quote me on that!

Zeus x (fem) reader
Warnings: 18+, no minors 🔞 allowed, kidnapping, rough sex, dirty talk, king kink, Zeus.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zeus had just been crowned King of the cosmos.
There were many tasks he had on his plate, some for business and some for personal reasons.
In Odin’s bath complex, a goddess was bathing by herself. Steam arose from bath house that covered her breasts as the top part of the bath house was roofed except a circular part in the middle. Beautiful in appearance and the goddess was rather cheerful most days however today she wasn’t in very good spirits as her father Odin had told her she was promised to a god she didn’t want.
The beautiful goddess wanted someone else, that person was Zeus.
The two had met when he was crowned king of the gods as everyone was expected to visit, and once the goddess laid eyes on Zeus she was attracted to the king of the gods.
The feeling was certainly mutual as Zeus never left her side the entire night, the two danced and chatted the whole time. Odin, watched the two carefully and he could tell if he didn’t act fast he was sure he would be welcoming Zeus as a son in law.
Which Odin didn’t want.
“But dad! You’re being unreasonable.”
“You’re still young, you don’t know what you’re in for if you try to have a relationship with him. Zeus won’t be faithful.”
The conversation at Odin’s throne room was rather heated, trying to reason with her father was impossible as he was wise beyond his years and couldn’t be told otherwise. Odin had already a arranged marriage setup for someone else, and it certainly wasn’t Zeus. As the days passed however, Odin was aware Zeus was visiting his daughter by shapeshifting into animals.
Even when Odin told Zeus that was promised to another that didn’t stop Zeus from asking for (Name)’s hand, no shame at all.
“Oh come on!”
Outside of Asgard, Zeus was trying to get in to see (Name) but it seemed like Odin being a master of spells had placed a invisible force field and forbid him from entering. Zeus wasn’t about to let this come between him and his sweet (Name), and he decided to use his head instead of his brawn.
In the bath house, (Name) was starting to accept her fate that any relationship between her and Zeus wouldn’t work and she decided to honor her father’s wishes. At that moment, a huge splash occurred in the bathouse and from the water arose a giant eagle.
It was a golden eagle which served as Zeus' personal messenger and animal companion also named Aquilla. The body guards entered with weapons ready for combat only to see the giant eagle take off and the princess no where in sight.
“Please don’t ever do that again, your bird scared me.”
(Name) was able to get a robe to cloth herself before Zeus’ pet took her away, Zeus rewarded his pet with treats and several rubs as a way of saying.
“He doesn’t bite, he’s harmless. You look great in your robe by the way.”
Letting (Name) know he enjoyed her being there Zeus complimented her, sending his pet eagle away Zeus gave (Name) all his attention. Rather he planned on it as his wrist was grabbed when he reached out to caress (Name)’s cheek, Zeus was a bit taken back as he could tell (Name) was serious.
“We shouldn’t do this anymore. We should go our separate ways.”
Squinting his eyes to get a good look at (Name)‘s face he could tell she was serious about her words. Scratching his neck while looking away Zeus was perplexed about the whole situation.
“Why? Is it because of eagle? I won’t send him anymore if that’s what you want.”
“No. I actually like your pet, it’s just we shouldn’t have to sneak around my father’s back to meet-“
“Well, I’ve asked for your hand many times and he keeps rejecting me. What did I do?”
Becoming frustrated Zeus told (Name) truthfully about wanting her to become his queen, he had asked many times.
“He thinks you’re going to be unfaithful.”
“Oh come on, what a prude. I don’t want anyone else but you.”
Again, Zeus reached out for (Name)‘s cheek only for (Name) to block him again as she still had a hold of his wrist. Zeus could have easily gotten himself out of her hold and yet he couldn’t.
“We must bring this to an end. Maybe, you’ll meet someone else-“
“I want no one else.”
Zeus didn’t raise his voice but his message was well received by his love interest as he pulled her into him with his free hand and easily freeing his wrist from (Name)’s hold he gently grabbed her chin as he met her gaze with hers.
Love was certainly there.
“I want no one else, no one else will do. It must be you.”
“…I share your feelings, Zeus. But, I must honor my fathers wishes.”
It was true, (Name) wished she could be with Zeus but as a princess she had to honor her father. As much as it pained her to say those words (Name) said them only for Zeus to inch closer to her as his lips were only centimeters away from hers, his eyes locked in on her own.
“I see. But what about your king?”
Ah.
A line that seemed to pierce her heart as she felt her knees grow weak and once Zeus pressed his lips to hers the two shared a tender moment. A kiss that was so sweet anyone would be jealous and from there the two became closer.
They had a night to remember.
Zeus was an energetic lover and there wasn’t a position he didn’t like. However, he loved when he was in control as he had his thick cock deep inside the Asgardian princess needy cunt and tight cunt. Zeus had plans for the two have sex in his bath house but his bed did just as well.
While (Name) was ontop of Zeus moving her hips back and forth Zeus played with her nipples with his hands, enjoying the view as he felt amazing his cock was still deep inside rubbing her g-spot. Whenever (Name) asked how he felt Zeus would always answer with “Amazing princess, move your hips more.”
Zeus’ room echoed with moans and whimpers, many nights (Name) dreamed of this moment and now it was hers. For a moment at least, As Zeus easily lifted her up making her moan a loud of the loss of not feeling Zeus’ cock anymore. As he switched positions Zeus softly muttered something along the lines, “Now we can have some fun.” Laying down on her back Zeus raise her legs raised, ankles as far back toward her head as possible then entering her in missionary style with his hands on her ankles keeping them in place.
There was no place a Zeus’ cock didn’t touch and (Name) was certain Zeus’ cock was near her stomach, Zeus whispered in her ear “You didn’t take all of my cock by going all the way down but that’s about change.”followed by a condescending chuckle as (Name) was doing her best to accommodate his size.
It didn’t help when Zeus’ pace nothing short of rough and fast. So much so, (Name)’s world became hazy and her arousal taking over her mind and body as Zeus had his way with her, his cock kissing the end of cunt as his dirty talk was absolutely filthy.
“This. This is how you should honor your king. And just who is your king?!”
Zeus expected her answers to be truthful and to be quick which (Name) honored as she answered “You are.” In between moans as her breasts moved with Zeus’ insane rhythm. The room was not silent as Zeus was vocal and (Name) could help but moan, whimper, and cry for her king. Tears fell from her eyes and Zeus, without missing a single beat, wiped her beautiful tears away.
Toes curled, gripping the bedsheet, the headboard banging loudly against the wall and her cunt clinging desperately for Zeus’ cock. Sometimes, Zeus would lean down for a kiss as he enjoyed kissing his princess and when Zeus felt his hair being tugged on by (Name) he bite his lip holding back his moan but the words “Fuck.” And “Harder!” Left his lips.
Zeus loved (Name), he truly did but his lust for was just as equal and the two mixed quite nicely.
“Honor me. You cant honor anyone else. You. Are. Mine-“
From her ankles to her hips Zeus’ hands traveled down to gain more control which he only loved as he fucked his princess into bed with a smile (Name) would never forget, (Name) was certain Zeus earned his title fair and square as he was sending her body to mind numbing and euphoric high.
“-and I am yours. Princess.”
Finishing his sentence Zeus was certain of anyone walked by they heard his princess saying his name over and over. Zeus was certain no one could please her like he could, and no one would for that matter.(Name) wasn’t certain how much time had passed only that her body gave out when Zeus yelled, “You can cum now, your king commands it.” And following his order (Name)’s grip on the bedsheets almost ripped them, her eyes rolled back, toes curled and her cunt squeezing Zeus for all he was worth as Zeus flooded her cunt to the brim with his cum.
A shiver went up (Name)’s back as tears fell from eyes once more, catching his breath Zeus then sighed in relief as he enjoyed the euphoria of his climax. Looking down, he saw his sweet (Name) catching her breath with her arm covering her eyes with a satisfied smile on her face.
“Adorable as always, my sweet (Name).”
Kissing her forehead Zeus mentally wished no one would take her away from him.
“Sir? Sir?! If you’re finished in there Odin is here and he’s starting to attack the palace grounds.”
Zeus and (Name) heard a servant inform him from behind the door. While anyone else would have been angry that they would leave their lover, Zeus was delighted to see Odin and if he wanted a fight so be it as he leaped from the bed excited while moving around saying, “Sex and battle! What could be better!”
(Name) laid in bed wondering why Zeus was the way he was.
Tumblr media
13 years later, Zeus and (Name) were married.
The fight between Odin and Zeus lasted for 13 days and eventually the two came to an agreement that Zeus would work for Odin for 13 years for (Name)‘s hand.
Which was light work for Zeus as he got to enjoy (Name) still and eventually the two had a baby together.
Odin was pleased as he had a grandson now and now (Name) was queen of the heavens.

Lore Olympus Episode 247 Spoilers
Mfw Persie demands an appointment with Chiron "asap", only to then be just late enough for Demeter to get anxious.
Yeah, no, this was an obvious power-play on Persie's part to make sure Demeter didn't feel secure enough to actually defend herself. Don't tell me this isn't something current Persie would do, she 100% would.
Lmao, RS panicked because literally everybody was pointing out that hxp weren't doing any parenting, despite saying they'd be better parents than Zeus and just shoved Dionysus into the episode as a gotcha.
"I'd like to start by asking you both what you hope to achieve with this session today?"
Demeter doesn't want to achieve anything, this was literally forced on her. She had no idea Persephone was doing this until the last second.
Persephone just wants to dunk on her mom some more without consequences.
"You trapped Hades in a jar!"
Oh fuck off, Persie, your smurf-boytoy wasn't even hurt. Honestly, compared to what Hades put Demeter through, locking him in a jar was extremely minor and justified. Hades had no right to intrude on Demeter's home when she only wanted to see her daughter without her groomer present.
"We're not here to point fingers."
Yeah, but Persie's gonna do it anyway and the narrative will back her up like it always does.
The way Demeter just calls hxp's asses out on being capitalist jackasses who profit from death and the spirits who can't do anything to stand up for themselves.
"[...] You haven't even seen what I do in the Underworld."
Persie, you haven't done shit in the Underworld. You delegated work to someone else, that's not the same as working.
I really appreciate what we got to learn about Demeter and Metis' relationship. Honestly, I wasn't expecting Metis to just flat-out tell Demeter that she was created solely to help defeat Kronos. But since this is the same woman who slept with a much younger man despite knowing two of her daughters had a crush on him, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised she was a shitty parent in other ways too.
I'd enjoy all of this Demeter-lore more if the episode didn't immediately twist it to invalidate all of her concerns about Persephone's development and hxp's relationship through invoking generational trauma in a really manipulative way.
So.... Daphne did tell everybody about Apollo? Or just about the tree-part? Does that mean Apollo's political career is over? Because I think the fact that he violently assaulted a nymph should put a damper on his popularity with the populace.
Artemis finally asks a question she should have asked in season 1. Better late than never I guess. And of course we cut off before anything of substance is achieved.
We haven't gone anywhere with the therapy-session and the whole Artemis and Apollo conversation just served as another cliffhanger.

The Sand on your Shores (1)
The first Herakles learnt about his competitor was when he stopped a shepherd in the hills.
“Have you heard of the lion killing travellers and livestock?” he inquired without much hope for an answer.
If a giant lion were hunting animals in the hills of Nemea, why would a man without even a sword hanging from his belt bring his sheep out to graze?
As expected, the shepherd didn’t even pale or look around fearfully, the confidence of one assured of his safety his shield. “Oh, you’re too late,” the man exclaimed cheerfully. “Percy the Riptide already killed the Nemean Lion.”
“Who can tell me where –” Herakles began before the words registered.
What?
“Who is Percy?” Herakles demanded.
He knew of all the greatest heroes of the age, had fought beside or against most of them, and no mortal with the moniker of Riptide had ever crossed his notice.
Cold suspicion crept in. His first quest to wipe the sins of kin slaying off his hands, and the task had already been accomplished by someone else?
“Do you know where I can find him?” Herakles changed tracks.
The shepherd shook his head. “He stayed here for only a day before leaving. Even though we offered to shower him with riches, he refused all but food and water.”
The awe and appreciation in the shepherd’s voice irked Herakles, but he suppressed the rage that refused to depart for longer than a single interval of the sundial.
Herakles offered a curt nod and walked towards the closest village in the distance.
Arriving at Cleonae did nothing for his simmering temper. Everywhere he walked, and even when he stubbornly sat down on the lip of the fountain at the centre of town, people insisted on discussing nothing but Percy Jackson, the Riptide.
Herakles huffed out a frustrated breath, ran a whetstone against his sword, and pretended he wasn’t sweltering inside his bronze armour.
He was Herakles! The greatest of all heroes, the son of Zeus, the hero of Thebes, the son in law of –
Needless to say, Herakles wouldn’t allow dismissal to prevent him from carrying out his tasks. So what if the armour hung heavy on his shoulders? He could partake of the water from the fountain at his back to quench his thirst. If he felt hungry, he had fruits and dried meat in his pack. If he felt sleepy, the verdant hills of Nemea would provide soft grass to cushion his head.
He didn’t require a mortal to offer him shelter.
He sucked in a harsh breath before finally forcing himself to pay attention to the conversation around him. If the baker in his sweet-smelling shop, the carpenter hammering away at a scaffold, the village leader pontificating at the corner, the priestess tending to the flame of Hestia, the children running across the dusty streets, and every person in sight insisted upon discussing Percy, Herakles would listen.
Herakles would learn.
And if he didn’t like what he heard, he’d take care of the threat.
He rapidly ran into the first hurdle (if one disregarded the absence of the other demigod, whose presence would have put a hasty end to the problems indeed).      
No one could agree on what Percy, son of Jack looked like.
Some described him as a perfectly ordinary young man, if a little more charming and courageous than the baker’s son, and with an appetite to rival the village’s prized pig.
Others praised him as a son of the sea, with gills around his neck, scales across his shoulders, and webs connecting his digits. A little disorienting, but perfectly cordial once you’d poured ewers full of water over his head in offering.
And then there were the other reports.
A horror from the deepest crevices of the ocean, with ash-blonde hair that swayed in an unseen wind, dark eyes that consumed your thoughts and dreams and life until all you could do was cower in terror and hope they would pass you by, and crimson lips dripping with the blood of his victims. His footsteps cracked the ground, his passage wilted plants, and when the Nemean Lion scored a lucky hit, he bled golden ichor.
But everyone agreed on one thing – this Percy Jackson had arrived at Cleonae, killed the Nemean Lion, and walked out on his merry way, unconcerned about having deprived Herakles of an opportunity to fulfil Eurystheus’s command.
Herakles despised him. Him and his cloak made from the impenetrable fur of the Nemean Lion.

Next
Read on ao3.
This was written for the Temple of Apollo Reverse Big Bang, with the wonderful yagodnyizefir.

Lots of people doing HOO AUs and that sounds fun so I'm hopping on the band wagon. Starting with TLH! (Note, this would mostly be from Jason's pov, with a few chapters from Leo's and Piper's perspectives. ) Edit: I'm calling this The EagleOwl Swap, after the birds closely associated with Zeus and Athena (Also I have seen a fanart with the seven and birds associated with their godly parents, and I was inspired)
Jason wakes up confused, surrounded by his bestfriend Leo and girlfriend Piper, who he doesn't remember. Everything proceeds normally until their teacher turns into a goat and goes zoo-wee-mama, Leo falls to his death till Jason saves him and Piper acts a bit suspicious. Hmmmm.....
The chariot arrives and in it... is not Annabeth. Not Percy either. Nope. It's... Katie Gardener.
Percy and Annabeth had disappeared a few months ago, and getting a bunch of feral demigods to listen is hard if you're not popular. So all the head cabin members are tired, and Jason was apparently the lead they needed to find them, according to their local oracle. Too bad Jason has zero memories
Camp sequence ensues. Leo fits in like a fish to water, while Jason's mopping around being lonely as there's no one else in his cabin. Till he finds Piper moping a bit Piper's Life Hacks 101: If you don't fit in a grp, just pretend you do; maybe then you would find happiness in this cruel world. Jason finds the life hack to be bs, but Piper's too occupied with other things (foreshadowing) to care about being comfortable
They do the quest to save Hera and coach, and the mission is a mess. Leo is pretty much Elsa but with fire powers, Jason has found out throwing water at enemies then electrocuting them is both effective and fun, so now they have to waste time stealing water bottles from stores or else Jason would pout the entire mission, and Piper discovers Charmspeak for the first time, which makes her scary.
We have Leo trauma-dumping with a smile as he talks about the whole 'mom died in a fire thanks to this weird grass-lady' ending that convo with 'everything's fine, I'm fine' when clearly it's not, your friends can see the pain in your eyes, leo stop holding in the pain-
Piper also trauma dumps about how lonely a child of a celebrity's life is, being piled with expectations, forced to not rock the boat at all, people only sucking up to her cuz everyone knows and wants to be friends with THE Tristan Mclean's daughter, pretending to be something she's not
Which is why she and Leo are best friends, cuz boi has no clue what Hollywood is in the first place, (look he had been running for half his life, cut him some slack) and she finds his jokes funny. (the first)
Jason, is an excellent detective no matter what, and gets suspicious of Piper. "Wait, if you're a people pleaser how did you get sent to the Wilderness School. Minors who repeatedly commit offenses goes to prision, and yet you haven't done anything". "Uhhhhh" , a monster attacks them, saving Piper from almost blowing her cover.
Piper questions her sexuality when she meets the hunters, Leo tries to be supportive, but fails. "Hey, I'm an aromantic, and even I can feel the romance between you and Piper" "...Leo. Never flirt. Ever" ( Fun fact, I said the exact same stuff to someone on behalf of my friend; suffice to say it wasn't my proudest moment)
They're both clueless to the angst stuff happening in the cave. Thalia is struggling to keep it together cuz her baby brother is all grown up and she can't celebrate that becuz he doesn't even know her and that's another person she has to add in the list of "loved one she eventually has to see die becuz she's immortal"
Surprise, as they near the place Hera's trapped, Piper gets revealed that's she been working with the giants to get Jason captured when he was least expecting it cause he's a threat. And Piper would sacrifice Jason, a guy she met like a week ago, for her dad whom which they kidnapped like a few months ago and then blackmailed her to be their spy.
Sike, the giants decides to kill Tristan and the trio instead of just Jason, which was not part of the deal, but Gaea hates Aphrodite and all her kids cuz they are Uranus spawns, and Gaea hates her ex-husband a lot. It's also convenient that two thirds of the trio are part of the prophecy of the Seven, so gotta kill them all. (Pokemon theme plays in the background) (Cuz only Hazel, Frank, Jason and Leo were confirmed to be a part of the Seven, and the other three were added later on )
They free Tristan, but Piper gets captured instead. Jason doesn't want to save her, considering she was willing to kill him off a few minutes ago, but Leo knows how Piper feels, considering Gaea screwed him over as well, who he now is 95% sure was that grass lady that killed his mom, and urges Jason to save them. Even if he's miffed by the fact that Piper got to keep her memories thanks to Gaea's interference intact while Jason and Leo's didn't.
"Wait hold up, so Hera and Gaea messed up my memories? So my friendships are all a lie!" "But that doesn't mean I'm not your friend anymore" Leo starts bawling at that, much to Jason surprise, because he has a friend after so long of being alone (poor boy)
Piper meanwhile regrets everything she has ever done, and not for the first time, considers suicide. But after getting riled up by someone from the shadows telling her she's useless, as a daughter of Aphrodite, she gets reminded of her will to live so that she can one day prove that stuck up manager of her father's that she's more than just a pretty face, and she will prove that manager and the rando in the shadows that she's better than them, basically living through sheer spite baby (Poor Piper, the little smolo blorbo)
They arrive at the place where both Piper and Hera are held. Gaea speaks through that mortal from the shadows (we making her more in this au cuz why not), whch is wayyyyyy more creepy then just talking through their dreams and starts egging Leo on being like "Heyyyyy, ya I did murder your mom" before forcing said mortal she was speaking through to kill themselves. We realise that Gaea has just been picking out random mortals and controllling them as she doesn't have a body herself.
Hera gets freed, Leo overcomes his fire trauma,Piper reedeems herself in Jason's books by reviving him back from the dead. Apparently having a pep talk from Leo and the grief from losing Jason, who is legit her best friend now, can get Piper to unlock her full power of charmspeaking. Leo's just happy he has a home again, with two best friends and a fairy godmother through Hera.
Honestly it's funny when you imagine Jason and Piper learning about Hera putting Leo in fire when he was a baby and being horrified, and he's like it wasn't traumatic, it was a learning experience. Also Hera, in the disguise of a babysitter, gave him ice cream for breakfast when he was five, so she's apparently one of his favourite gods.
Jason was apparently taken from the roman camp in an effort to combine the two camps together after centuries of bloodshed and fighting cuz they need to beat Gaea. So yay, Jason finds out atleast one thing about himself. Hera does promise that he will regain his memories when he finds the roman camp, which she doesn't disclose the location of.
Also piper was never intended to be part of the seven in the first place, but becuz she tagged along and put herself within Hera's radar and has a pretty nice power that would be very helpful, she gets put in the prophecy as well, so yay, she finally feels included for the first time in a very looooong time
Also at the begging of Leo, who is Hera's favoruite, decides to be a bit more helpful and give one more info: Annabeth's at the roman camp, and she also reveals that she intially took Percy first to represent the greeks, but he went missing after two days for some reason, so she took annabeth.
Oh in this au Piper and Leo do not become cabin heads, cause they are too busy saving the world to try to lead a cabin, also Piper finally fits in camp cuz she goes against her hollywood teachings and talks back at Drew, showing her true self after a long time. Hephastus cabin does not have that curse of not taking things able to work, but they do find the secret cabin. And they start preparing to go to the roman camp.

HADES 2!!!!
ok so WOW i was not expecting this so i am compiling all of my thoughts/theories i have gathered from the trailer
ok so for those of you who don’t know the main character is Melinoe zagreus’s sister (or half sister because sometimes Hades and Zeus are swapped around in regards to her origin) so no thanzag fan baby for us :’( sadge, but anyways, on to the story(that we know of)
so the story from what we can gather is that kronos (titan of time, father of zeus, hades & posiedon ETC, ate all of his children, was chopped up and had his chunks scattered around tartarus for said child eating) is the big bad here and he has presumably taken over the underworld after capturing hades as seen here
Tumblr media
(and presumably all the other cthonic gods as well, but we don’t know for certain)
we know from the supergiant blog post that melinoe will be fighting through the underworld (and maybe more) but instead of going up through the underworld to the surface melinoe will instead be going down through the underworld to tartarus, which is presumably where kronos, and maybe even the other titans are waiting.
we also have a bunch of new characters such as:
Tumblr media
moros! doom incarnate and im calling it now, he is SO gonna be a romance candidate like come ON look at this emo bitch and tell me supergiant wont let us fuck him, no idea whether he gives is boons or not.
Tumblr media
we also have apollo, who does give is boons and seems to have a ‘daze’ debuff effect he can give you he seems to fill the same roll as the other Olympian gods so i dont have much to say about him yet
Tumblr media
nemesis, very cool looking, probably also a romance character
Tumblr media
and dora, who is a shade, which is interesting because before this we could only listen to shades in passing conversation, so the fact that we can talk to them is cool, and may also have something to do with melinoe apparently being the goddess of ghosts
we also see a few potential non-underworld areas, mostly the forests, but there is one in particular i want to call attention too
Tumblr media
this one, just look at this place, water everywhere, coral growing on the floor, fishy looking enemies, even those shell shaped jugs, id bet money that this is posidons realm, or at least his house or something which makes me question just how BIG this game really is and just how much is at stake here, we know kronos captured hades, but what about his other kids?, did he capture them too?, because i don’t know why else melinoe would be in posidons realm other than to free him, or maybe to ask for his help to save hades?, IDK man im just really exited for this game and needed to write out my initial thoughts
