The only way to make Hades feel guilty about what he did to Hercules is for her to recollect how scared she was her grandchild was lost and she would put the nail in it that it was as bad as when Cronus swallowed both Poeisdon and Hades himself and she never htought she would go through that pain again. And again that stops Hades in his track because again big mama's boy and never wants to see his mother be so sad especially what she did for him and what his father put her through.

Oh, definitely!

Obviously, Rhea was never mentioned or shown in the movie, but I like to think that she too was very concerned for Zeus and Hera and her little grandchild and probably had to comfort Zeus a lot while he was forced to watch his only child grow up on Earth, never truly knowing who his real parents were until he was a teenager. Rhea knew what it was like to have to watch your children grow up from afar since she too had to send her boys away to be raised by nymphs in order to keep Kronos from hurting them or doing something to them (however, that didn’t stop him once the brothers came of age and he decided to start a whole war and swallow his sons).

But yeah, I think the saddest thing is that both in the movie AND the series, nobody ever found out that Hades was the one who turned Hercules into a demigod. Though, it’s understandable as to why, I mean, if anybody ever found out (especially Zeus and Hera) he’d be in for a quite the punishment. Zeus was FURIOUS when he discovered his son was missing and if he found out that his own little brother was the one to blame and was the reason why he was forced to watch his son be raised by mortals, oh man, I don’t even know what he’d do lol. But if his MOTHER found out! Oh man, she’d no doubt tell Zeus and then Hades would be in for it. Of course, his mom would go berserk if she knew, but I don’t think Hades has ever shared the secret of turning Hercules into a demigod with anyone except with his minions (and honestly I’m surprise they haven’t let that secret slip seeing as how they tend to accidentally spill the beans about their boss’ plans quite often in the show lol) and MAYBE Persephone, so I don’t think he’s even told his mother about it and probably never will (fearing what she or Zeus might do if they ever knew the truth).

But omg the shame and guilt Hades would feel if his mother knew or knowing how upset his mother was when it happened would just kill him (no pun intended lol). Like, Hades is a total mama’s boy and would never want to do anything to cause his mother pain or heartache, so it would totally eat him up inside if he knew how upset Rhea was when Hercules went missing. And I totally agree, like not only was she close to losing her own sons, but she had almost lost her grandson too, so it must’ve been tough for her to watch her eldest son go through what she basically and to go through.

I think if Hades did find out his mother was really broken up about Hercules going missing, he probably would’ve done something to save him, like look for his soul (because he was supposed to be dead the entire time until he learned that he was alive when he was 18) and bring him back or something or if he had learned that the plan failed and Hercules was still alive maybe he would’ve stolen Hercules back and turned him back into a god just for his mother’s sake because he would probably do anything to prevent her from heartache.

UGH THE ANGST 😭

Based on another comment send, Rachel also used SA as a backstory for Zeus, Rhea and Demeter.

Rhea used sex as a distraction so Kronos wouldn't devour their children. Zeus lied to Demeter in order for her to sleep with him. Zeus slept with Metis when he was a minor.

None of those things are explored to show how damaging SA is, it's just there for jokes(Metis) or cheap shock value (Demeter).

I’m really convinced that Rachel never really cared about the SA plot lines, no one who genuinely cares would take this little consideration with it and still not say anything to her borderline proshipper fans (not all btw just the hera x kronos shippers) if she genuinely cared. I’ve never seen someone make up things and openly brag about things they know they’ve never done. Lore Olympus is just a kink fantasy and that’s all, every deep or meaningful thing that’s been in the comics have all been accidental.

And because the role played by Themis in Zeus' rise to power is often completely ignored, let's review her contributions:

She helped save Zeus from Kronos by taking him from Rhea and bringing him to Crete (X).

She was the one who, in preparation to the Titanomachy, advised Zeus to make his Aigis from the skin of a goat who was invulnerable and whose appearance terrified the Titans (X).

In the Prometheus Bound of Aischylos, Themis is identified with Gaia, joins Zeus against the Titans and prophesies how the war is going to be won) (X).

hands full of fire

Summary:

Leo burns himself into the tips of Piper and Jason’s heart, and they can’t quite find it in them to place ice on the wound.

on Ao3

.x.

He looked perfect.

Not an inch was out of place from the last time Jason had seen him and all he wanted to do was cry until his throat bleed.

He couldn’t. Jason couldn’t, or he’d fall into despair and never rise up again.

“Surprised to see me?” the dream said and Jason choked back a sob.

Fuck, he had really good memory, he thought dazedly. His hands were shaking, he wasn’t sure how his hands could shake in a dream, but they were.

“What’s wrong?” the dream asked, his lips pulling into a frown and his brow furrowing just right that it didn’t trigger a single sense of wrongness from Jason.

This time Jason can’t choke back the sob. It leaves his throat, broken and ugly and pent-up. He hasn’t cried since that day. Hadn’t been able to let himself to breakdown while there was so much to fix between the camps and the gods.

“Oh, Jay.” the dream said achingly. “Jay, Jay, Jay. I’m so sorry, cariño.”

Even the accent, gods, Jason hated his mind.

“Leo,” he named the dream and hated himself a little. His friend was dead, this dream couldn’t, wouldn’t replace him.

No matter how much Jason wanted him to.

The dream, Leo, placed his hands on Jason’s shoulders, steadying him like back on the first time they tried out the Argo II. They were warm, and he could feel that warmth through his shirt.

Leo’s warmth would dig into his bones if he were real. Jason closed his eyes and tried not to look at the near-perfect imitation his mind had conjured up.

“Jason,” Leo said, his hand reaching up to cup Jason’s jaw. A finger brushed over the little scar on Jason’s lip and Jason let out a sob.

He hated his mind, he hated his dreams and most of all he hated himself for letting Leo die.

“I’m sorry.” Jason warbled out. His glasses fogged up so much that Leo actually looked like a ghostly blur. “Gods, Leo, I’m so sorry. I’m so-”

Another hand. Warm and firm on Jason’s other cheek, he leaned into it.

Tears still trailed down his face, blurring his vision enough that Jason can convince himself this place isn’t a dream. That he’s here with Leo in Bunker 9 and in the distance Piper is speaking with Annabeth and that all feels right for once in this ugly world that they live in.

“I’m alive.” Leo said and the shape of his words sounded so beautiful. “I promise you, Jason, I’m alive.”

“If only,” Jason said, “that could be true. But this is a dream and I cannot love you.”

The words felt like ash on his mouth, but his centurion had taught him when he was young how to banish dreams that were not his own.

“Jay,” the dream said desperately. The warmth was leeching from its skin returning to where ever dreams went. “Jay, please.”

Jason squared his jaw, his glasses in fog in the dream, and he felt drained, broken and exhausted.

“You’re dead, and I couldn’t save you.” he uttered and the heartbroken expression on the dream’s face made his own heart shatter too.

“He woke up in a freezing room, asleep in front of the Hippie Zeus statue. Jason was half-sure the dream had been a hallucination, half-sure it had been enemy action.

Leo was dead, dead and gone and even Nico and Hazel couldn’t say where he was in the Underworld as if Gaea had decimated his spirit so utterly that he couldn’t even reside in Elysium like he deserved.

“I’m sorry, Leo.” Jason told the empty room. Thunder crashed through the windows, growing louder in pitch as though sensing Jason’s emotions. “I’m so sorry.”

.x.

It’s a beautiful dream, Piper thought. The sky is blue, the beach is beautiful and in. in the distance she can hear her dad laughing with Hedge and baby Chuck cooing as Mellie floated high above.

It’s a beautiful dream, if only the ghost wasn’t invading it. The sight of it made Piper feel sick and too small as she looked upon its visage. Her memory was limited to words that caught her attention most of the time, but her mind had recreated Leo perfectly.

Perfectly enough she knew this was fake.

Is it selfish, Piper wondered as the dream looked at her, to want him to be here?

Jason wasn’t here, but Piper knew why, she’d never seen him and her dad interact in a safe environment that Piper associated so much with safety. Jason would’ve been drowned within the hour if that was the case.

“Pipes,” Dream Leo said. He walked towards her dressed in the same clothes as after Khione. “Piper, I’m here.”

“You’re dead.” Piper choked out. “And I couldn’t stop you.”

He reached out, hands reaching towards her face and she couldn’t bring herself to bat him away. Dream Leo smiled, his hands were warm on Piper’s face, and his brown eyes crinkled in just the right place. All Piper wanted to do was weep.

“The rumors,” Dream Leo quipped, pressing his forehead against Piper’s own, finger catching on one of her braids. “Have been greatly exaggerated.”

Piper closed her eyes and tears spilled out of them. She could taste the salty wetness of it on her lips and she wanted to scream. How could her dream feel so much like reality? She sniffed and cried harder when the familiar smell of motor oil and incense.

“I miss you.” Piper said. “I wish you were here.”

“I am here, Beauty Queen.” Dream Leo replied. “Well, I’ll be there soon, it’s been a struggle to make our way back.”

Piper licked her lips and squeezed onto Dream Leo’s hands. She grabbed the back of Leo’s neck and pulled him into a tight hug.

“Be safe,” Piper said, still certain this was a dream but how could she let Leo go without asking him to be safe. She pulled back and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

“You know me, Pipes,” Leo smiled. He spread his arms out and took a step away. “I’m always careful.”

Piper’s lips twitched. “Liar.” she said and Leo and the dream faded like sand caught up in the wind.

Piper woke up to the concerned face of Lacy hovering above her.

“You were crying in your sleep again.” she said.

“I had a beautiful dream,” Piper replied. “And I was so happy I cried.”

Lacy shifted onto Piper’s bed and gripped her hand. The Aphrodite Cabin was still and silent. Moonlight came in through the pink tulle curtains, making the cabin look cold and dead compared to the morning.

“Was it about mom?” Lacy asked and Piper is struck by how little her siblings know about her mom.

“Yeah,” Piper lied. “It was about mom.”

.x.

Leo woke up crying in Calypso’s arms. She had one hand around him, securing him in place, and the other gripping the strap they had attached to Festus. Leo was half-sure it was for the heat he radiated, half-sure Calypso just wanted to make sure her escape was real.

“They don’t believe it’s me.” he told her.

Calypso pursed her lips and pulled the strap attached to Festus slightly to the left just in time to avoid a storm of venti. “It’s not unexpected, Leonidas. The way you were brought back was banned by the Cupbearer for a reason. It splintered your soul in three and what will happen after only the Morai know.”

Leo closed his eyes. They ached and burned as he did so and he can feel the tears slipping from his cheeks. “Hazel and Frank should’ve told them. About what I did.”

“I think,” Calypso said, “they did not wish to place your friends in blind hopes. Much like you did not wish to place me in them.”

“You deserved to leave that island.” Leo said fervently. It wasn’t just that Calypso reminded him of his favorite cousin or that she just emanated the same aching sadness that Leo also had. It was the fact that Percy Jackson had made the gods promise something, and they hadn’t fulfilled them. It was always up to them to pick up the slack and Leo could tell there would be so much slack picking.

“You are kind, Leonidas. You are kind and so breathtakingly cruel on occasion. But, we will get you home where we can all fix this.” Calypso sighed. “I think I will search for my sisters on Mount Tam or see if Leto will accept taking me on. I’d like to avoid binding myself to the Olympians as much as possible.”

Leo nodded and straightened up. He squinted down at the sea and nearly wept again when he saw the familiar sight of the Italian coast.

“Maybe New Rome will suit you. It’s close to Mount Tam or so Jason says.”

Calypso hummed. “And you, Leonidas? Where will you go?”

Leo tried for a smile, remembered she couldn’t see him and let it drop. “I’ll follow Jason and Piper, if they’ll have me after what I’ve done.”

“They love you.” Calypso said with utter certainty. “Like Penelope loved Odysseus, like Rhea loved Kronos, like Apollo loved Cassandra. They will love you with the bitter certainty that it will always begin and end with you three. Bask in that, Leo, there’s nothing more beautiful, and I’ve witnessed some of the most beautiful romances from Hephaestus TV.”

Leo sniffled and wiped his nose. I’m coming back, Leo thought. I’m coming back, and then you’ll be able to love me in the flesh. I’ll be careful because you asked me to. I swear on my mother’s grave, I’m coming back to you both.

“Hasta el final.” Leo muttered, the words feeling like a comfort on his mouth. “Y hacia delante.”

I beg of you I need more Eldritch horror x Hades it’s stuck in my head. Pleased I bev of you

Damn y'all be fans of the eldritch simping huh. WELL ON WE ROLL THEN;

Hades x Eldritch!Reader, Part Two:

You can't be there all the time, he understands, it's not like he's swimming in free time himself.

You're part of such a vastness that this dinky little solar system is only smidgen of your realm. Sometimes when he's talking to you he can tell that, while you're listening and responding perfectly, you attention is focused on something literal lightyears away.

It takes some frank communication to get the point across that he's Not A Fan of being ignored (and genuinely was kind of hurt at first, he thought you were getting bored of him and was trying so hard to bridge the sudden distance) but it wasn't until you offered to show him what you were looking at that he realised you weren't ignoring him at all.

"You, uh, wanna take me somewhere?" Hades was, admittedly, thrown entirely off his game by the affermative hum through his bones as he ignored the latest round of paperwork.

All your meet ups and encounters had been soley either on Earth or telepathic, with Hades more than happy to astral project while his body was safe in the Underworld.

Gods don't need air or gravity, but a certain amount of atmospheric pressure and warmth is certainly appreciated. You laugh gently in his mind and sooth down the edges of his flame, promising to provide that much and more. If he was willing of course.

It's with only slight apprehension that he shrugs and quips a yes.

He'll later describe the feeling of being pulled through the fabric of space as if being inside a bubble made of concrete silence that travelled at four times the speed of sound. It is with frankly heroic effort that he does not loose his lunch even as you pet and hold him in one great betentacled arm - your own body being the concrete shield from the radiation and debris of the universe.

He's not much one for sentimentality but seeing Earth and everything he has ever known zoom out to a dust mote in the darkness put him about a bit. He's unusually quiet during the journey despite gradually losing his death grip on your arm.

You don't think of time in terms of hours or minutes and Hades has no fucking clue how far Earth has gone around the sun before you 'stop' and gently rumble for him to open his eyes.

When Hades was a baby, Rhea used to sneak out with him, hold him up and point out the stars. Even when heavily pregnant with Poseidon, they would be hiding out there away from Kronos, quiet and wondrous for hours at a time. Hades can barely remember the feeling of being safe and warm under a jewelled sky.

It's absolutely blown away by the majesty of what you've brought him to.

The nebula swirls around you both like an ocean fused with a sunset, in every colour imaginable. He gawps at the sheer breadth of the clouds in every direction, so much larger even than you, a black mass against the glory of the stellar nursery.

You gently nudge him out of your grip. He yelps and scrambles before realising he's floating, then chuckles incredulously as he spins in place, wreathed in smoke and his own fire.

You giggle and poke him so he spins faster. He laughs and tries to slap you back with a "Hey! No fair sweetums!"

You guide his gaze over to an area chock full of glowing light. It's clouds are blazing electric blue, and the newborn stars within are twinkling as they stabilize. You wrap him up again as you purr that he reminds you of them and there's no force in this universe that can stop the blush that rises in him from that statement.

It feels like you spend forever there amongst the light of newborn space, gently cruising amongst the mass. Hades feels the stress of existence slip further and further back towards Earth, a peace unlike anything since he was a child taking over.

Soon, you promise, you'll take him to see a supernova. A stars death is just a spectacular as it's birth, after all.

He snuggles down harder and struggles not to fall asleep, your subsonic voice rattling through him in a way that others would call him crazy for finding comforting. The freezing cold of space feels like a balm on his constantly overheated skin. The pressure of your touch under his hands like silky steel.

Absolutely. He's definitely doing this again. Thanks Babe, he needed this.

#thalassa responds #hades x reader #hades #space date time!#Even eldritch horrors get to be soft sometimes #I reckon Hades would actually love to be the less powerful one in a relationship for once #Mans' a stressed out mess who just needs a damn good excuse to relax and let someone else take the reins for once #x reader #disney villains #Thank you for the ask!!

Could you please do a Hera hc with other Olympians too and please elaborate on Zeus

lol, at this point i'm just doing the whole damn pantheon hey ahahahaha!!!!!!!

ZEUS

i've written LOADS about Hera x Zeus, but somehow i don't have a single "pure" Zeus x Hera hc list. so, i'll save that for if i ever get a Zeus x Hera ask by itself, because i think that'll be cleaner and easier to read. i'll summarise here though.

the short of it: Zeus and Hera do love each other.

the long of it: their relationship is like, the most complicated thing ever.

now, this is about Hera, so i'm not gonna write about why i think Zeus does what Zeus does, but from Hera's perspective, i hc that she's always known that this is what her marriage would be like.

i don't think she got married to Zeus and then "suddenly" he just started having "affairs"--- both were very crystal clear that this would be the case.

but love is a bit complicated, and i believe Hera and Zeus had enough faith in each other that they believed they could make it work (and they do. sort of. with a few a casualties).

one thing about Hera that i feel is incredibly important to her character is that she forgives. not everyone, but those she loves. i hc that she has a HUGE heart-- i've said before that i believe she inherits this from Rhea-- and i believe that she does forgive Zeus every time he goes "out" because, as Queen of Olympus, she knows there's a much bigger plan out there.

POSEIDON

i've always felt that Hera's best friend, most trusted confidant, would be Amphitrite. not only are they sister-in-laws, but they're both Queens, and both wives to cheaters. so i feel like they have a lot of common ground-- a lot to bond over.

as such, i feel that Amphitrite and Hera would hang around a lot, so i think, by extension, Poseidon and Zeus would hang around a lot.

i don't really know if Amphitrite loves Poseidon, i mean she probably does considering that she stays with him, but i honestly don't know for sure... in any case, she does tolerate him, and i think by that fact, Hera also tolerates him.

now, i don't really feel like the elder Olympians maintain a sibling relationship the way other god-families do-- like, Leto, Artemis and Apollo are tight as hell and literally kill for each other-- i think Prometheus, Epimetheus, and that whole titan generation are also incredibly tight. but, between Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera, i don't think they're that close-- this is likely because they never grew up with each other. Kronos prevented that. they sort of all just appeared fully-grown, and that's not really the same as actually growing from childhood to adulthood together.

that's why i don't think Hera is that close with Poseidon-- they're brother and sister on paper, and they would consider each other brother and sister for sure, but i just don't think they're that close.

also, like i was saying before, since Amphitrite and Hera are very close (and by choice, too), i think that, if not for Amphitrite, Hera would be a bit more distant from Poseidon on account of him being so similar to Zeus in terms of behaviour... now with Zeus, i think his behaviour is explained by his role as King and Father of the gods, but Poseidon doesn't really have that same rank so i think Hera would be less forgiving.

anyways, even so. in the myths, there are a few times when Poseidon supports Hera in her rebellions against Zeus, so that's not to say they're hostile towards each other-- they're friendly, but not close.

DEMETER

see here

tl;dr -- they're besties.

HESTIA

i think Hestia and Zeus would be the only ones who are actually able to maintain proper relationships with their siblings.

Hestia, like i said before, is the older sister. and i do think she helps out all her siblings when she can, even if that's mostly just providing a listening ear and shoulder to cry on.

Hera, obviously, has a lot of crying moments. i think Hestia would be one of the few characters she'd be feel comfortable crying in front of.

i can imagine Hestia doing a lot of baking <33 Hera seems like a sweet-tooth, so i think Hestia would bake her a lot of sweet treats-- pastries, and biscuits, and cakes.

HADES

i think in a similar vein to Poseidon, Hera's relationship would be good but not really all that close.

i suspect that after Hades and Persephone's marriage, Hera and Hades would actually become closer because i think Hera would make it a point to help Persephone navigate the ways of being a ruler, so they would see each other more often.

PERSEPHONE

see here

tl;dr -- they're good.

ATHENA

see here

tl;dr -- they're good.

ARTEMIS

see here

tl;dr -- they hate each other. they do not interact if they can help it.

APOLLO

i think they're on better terms than Artemis and Hera, but still-- Apollo definitely does not like Hera due to the python incident, and Hera definitely does not like Apollo because she perceives him to be far too arrogant.

nonetheless,, i do believe that Apollo, at the very least, doesn't really go out of his way to be rude to Hera. i mean, i could see Artemis being intentionally unhelpful, but Apollo, if Hera asked a favour of him, i think he would do it, albeit, if only to have her owe him one.

one pretty pivotal incident to me is when Hephaestus loses his leg- i mentioned previously that i think Hephaestus, as a child, accidentally walks in on Hera and Zeus arguing, and Zeus, mistaking Hephaestus for a servant, tells him to gtfo and shoots him with a lightning bolt-- now, Zeus' lightning can melt the very heavens and rip through the fabric of time, so it delivers pretty permanent damage to Hephaestus' leg. still, i think Apollo is the first one who Hera and Zeus summon, and though he can't do anything to fix the damage, he can at least reduce the pain for Hephaestus, and i do think Hera remembers that.

furthermore, Apollo retains a good rapport with all of her children, so that puts him Hera's good books.

Eileithyia, Hera's eldest child, was the original goddess of childbirth until Artemis was born and also became associated with it-- while i don't think Artemis and Eileithyia are close, i like the idea of Apollo and Eileithyia being good friends. he's a healer, she's a healer (for women during childbirth especially), so they get along well. and importantly, i don't think Apollo tries to make her feel insignificant; it's the opposite. so Hera can respect Apollo because of that.

otherwise, yeah. they simply tolerate each other.

HERMES

Hermes, Persephone, and Athena, are the three children of Zeus not mothered by Hera, but still "loved" by her.

like i said a billion times before, Hermes has this very playful, childish, innocent attitude that makes him very cute and annoyingly adorable, and people can't help but like him. Hera is no exception.

Hermes is ALWAYS in Zeus' palace because he's the messenger boy. but i can imagine him also doing trivial things for Hera like filling her cup, or getting her snacks. and realistically, he doesn't need to carry out these silly errands for her, but he does it anyways because-- i think Hermes actually does like Hera. she's not his step-mum, but idk. idk how to explain it. he just likes her and respects her.

i hc that Hermes is always complimenting her. like he'll deliver a message and say, "Oh, Queen Hera, is it just me or are you looking more radiant than ever today?" silly, suck-up things like that. and Hera knows that he's just trying to earn brownie points, but she secretly likes the effort he puts in.

Hermes does kill Argus, Hera's prized "knight", and i think she would have been majorly pissed off with Hermes because of that, but i like the idea of Hermes being very respectful of Hera, and not flaunting it in her face.

again, like with Apollo, Hermes maintains a very good relationship with all of Hera's children, so this works in his favour with her too.

anyhow; all in all, they have a pretty good relationship.

HEPHAESTUS

her son!!!!!!!!!!! i think she adores him very much.

she's always in awe of his works. i think she visits his forge very often, just to chat with him and keep him company.

i don't really know what else to say here because honestly, they're about as tight as a mother and child can get.

ARES

the problem child.

Hera, i think, has always seen how much of trouble Ares has had fitting in with the other Olympians. he's too brash, too loud, too violent. but he's still her son, and i think she loves him same as all her other children.

i think it's very difficult to see him get sidelined against the others, but is always immensely proud to see him stand up and do well.

i think the worst moment was when Zeus gave Athena shared rights to the war domain.. i think this would have infuriated Hera a lot-- i mean, she summons Typhon partly because of this moment.

while she's generally proud of Ares, i think they have a falling out over Aphrodite.

as the goddess of marriage, as the wife of a cheater, as a mother, she recognises immediately when Ares and Aphrodite start having an affair while Aphrodite is still married to Hephaestus, and i think it just breaks her heart into a million pieces.

here she is, a woman who has being married for hundreds of years to a man who sleeps with so many others and EVERYONE knows about it and knows about her pain.. Ares has grown up seeing all the bastard children Zeus brings back, and knows the pain and distress it has caused his mother, and STILL he decides to enable that behaviour...

and i think that's very complicated because she still loves Ares, and of course she loves Hephaestus-- and as a mother, what is she supposed to do? i do think she tells Ares immediately that he should stop because it's going to end really really badly (and Hera is right of course).

nonetheless, it is a huge relief to her when Ares and Hephaestus make amends to each other and move on with their lives.

DIONYSUS

again, i haven't fully characterised Dionysus in my head just yet so i'm not sure where he stands with Hera.

on one hand, Semele's death was so ghastly, i cannot imagine Hera ever liking Dionysus. on the other, Dionysus was raised a bit by Hermes and i think they're similar, so by extension, Hera should probably be ok with Dionysus.

but i don't really know.

i think Dionysus tends to stay out of Hera's way. i do like the idea that Dionysus is Zeus' successor-- he will be the King after Zeus, so i suppose he probably has managed to warm up to Hera.

also, i think Hera would be one of Dionysus' biggest customers in his little wine business hee hee

APHRODITE

Hera HATES herrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't think Aphrodite hates Hera, but Hera definitely hates Aphrodite. always has.

when Aphrodite first comes to Olympus, Hera's biggest fear is that Zeus will cheat on her with Aphrodite. it takes a lot of promising, and oath-swearing to assure Hera that that won't happen (and i don't believe it does because Aphrodite and Zeus aren't recorded as having children together).

but then, when Aphrodite marries Hephaestus, she cheats with Ares. and that's awful. Hera didn't want to get cheated on, and instead her son is the one getting cheated on. that's awful.

to be clear, i think the story is a bit more complicated and i don't think Hephaestus is blameless,, and i do think Ares and Aphrodite were more genuine than Aphrodite and Hephaestus, but it doesn't excuse it. and Hera knows that. and i don't she ever really forgive Aphrodite for what she "does" to her sons.

even though that's not entirely Aphrodite's fault-- i mean. it takes two to tango.

anyhow. Hera's relationship gets better when Aphrodite and Ares get married for real, and even better once Hephaestus marries Aglaea because it's like, yes, ok, both sons are doing well and have moved on. so that brings peace of mind to Hera.

like i said previously, Aphrodite doesn't hate Hera. i think she completely understands Hera's feelings towards her, and she simply accepts it, and does her best to show Hera that she really does love Ares, and that she isn't malicious or evil. and i think it partially works.

Rhea: You are the most repulsive person I have ever met.

Jercy AU in which Jason looks like Kronos, a Percy - Rhea.

So this is a really interesting idea here and i love it!!

(Unrelated, but at first glance, i miss read this and thought of an old favorite fic called Confused By Time by Dragonswoe on AO3 (its percy x kronos))

For this au my brain immediately goes to heavy animosity between Jason and Percy

But first there are a few changes that legally must be set up

1) kronos does not use Luke as a host to rise, Luke is more like a pet or a general for the demigod portion of the army.

Something like that just as long as they are physically separate entities.

2) during the titan war, chb and cj have to meet and work together before tlo (this'll be for the war effort or something)

3) i feel like the titan war would be way expanded in the long run with older characters.

4) Jason is respected, feared, and generally disliked. But the people at Camp Jupiter generally trust him and follow his command.

5) Rhea would likely be on the titan's side for the extra punch i want

But anyway

Percy meets Jason the same time Annabeth and Reyna meet

Each camp sent their big powerhouse (percy & jason) + the person they trust most to lead them (annabeth & reyna)

It goes about how you'd expect.

No one likes each other.

Jason and Reyna are fine since they've built that trust, Annabeth and Percy are the same way, but any other combination is just bad.

Objectively, they all know they have to get along for the sake of everyone's survival. But dont count on them being civil in private

Essentially they are all forced to fake friendship up until its literally just the 4 of them

Annabeth and reyna realize they've actually become friends over time first.

Percy and Jason are both distraught at this news.

They still high key hate each other

Circumstances force these two into close proximity. They fight. They calm down. They still can't leave. Someone breaks the exhausted silence.

Idk how they get out, but that is the start of them realizing the other person isnt horrible.

Bla bla bla, something something

percy and jason get closer. Romantic feelings develop

Percy realizes his feeling at the curse of Achilles but he 100% thinks he's gonna die by the end of the war.

Debating if Jason knows about the prophecy.

He probably does.

I legally need a scene where it looks like Percy is about to die. (Im thinking crushed by rubble and trapped (he should also pass out around here))

Jason hopes Percy is still alive and literally tries to dig him out. Annabeth stops him because the structure itself is unstable, and if Percy is still alive they could kill him if further collapse hits his Achilles spot.

Jason leaves to go feral on the battlefield. (This stresses out Annabeth and Reyna further by default)

Reyna takes on leading the battlefield as Annabeth creates a team to get Percy (or his body).

The war ends somewhere after that (im thinking that's like the big final battle grounds)

Not sure if Luke dies by backbitter or if Jason will die by backbitter. (Hero's soul cursed blade shall reap.) It 100% depends on if Luke has a change of heart and uses the last battle for sabotage and as his own personal grave.

Then the war ends kronos is defeated (dont ask me how cause idk), everyone has the party up on olympus

Annabeth and reyna share a kiss like its new years and the ball just dropped (this is not their first kiss but perhaps the first public kiss)

I want jason and Percy to share a kiss, but thats really difficult when theres a chance Jason is dead.

Side note, if jason had died, percy was 100% by his side. Or another outcome would be they both died, and saved their happy ending for elysium.

The named character death count stands between 1 and 3: luke is always gonna die, while jason and percy both have a chance but its slim

Also im thinking about what would happen if jercy got zombified afterwards because of the one big wish. But this is a scenario where only 1 half of Jercy died/survived.

Most of the end id dependant on who lives, who dies, and the surrounding circumstances

I feel like i kinda went off on a tangent and forgot the original ask. My bad

#jercy #pjo/hoo #pjo #jason grace #percy jackson #annabeth chase #reyna ramirez arellano #reynabeth #luke castellan

So one of my Friends had this HC that what if The Big Three actually grew up together with Zeus' Foster Caretakers from the Mythos?

We all know that in Myths, Zeus was the last born to escape and was taken care by the Nymphs, Kouretes, and even breast-feeded by the She-Goat, "Amalthea".

I imagine that an alternate version where the Six Siblings actually grew up together would've been fascinating, especially on how that we would've imagine the moments where The Kids bond with their Step-Parents besides than their Biological Mother.

None of the less, do you have any headcanons you'd like to share about the Golden Age in the Hercules Universe? I'd like to hear your own thoughts/opinions on Zeus' caretakers (especially Amalthea).

Also, would it be heartwarming to imagine that whenever Hades has terrible flashbacks about the Titan War, Persephone would always be there to comfort him about his Troubled Past with his Father?

Oh wow! I actually didn’t know Zeus had foster parents! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m a dummy when it comes to original Greek mythology sometimes lol.

(long rambles ahead lol)

I did find out through the Hades Challenge PC game that Zeus was raised in Crete (it was one of the little trivia questions Hades asks in the game lol), so I guess that makes sense lol!

Honestly, my whole headcanon/theory I guess for the “Golden Age” of Greece is that (of course) Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were all born from Rhea and Kronos on the island of Crete. Back then, the world was run by the titans, some were good and some were bad. There were some Olympians that existed as well during this era like Demeter, Hermes, Athena, and Ares (and more of course). The three brothers had a pretty decent childhood and got along with each other (for the most part). They had a great relationship with their mother who loved them with all her heart, but their father was mean and cruel to them, so to protect them from their father’s wrath, Rhea sent her sons away to be raised by nymphs. The boys really missed their mother, though, and wished to stay with her forever.

One day, Kronos decided to start a war against the Olympians and the titans after learning about a prophecy that one of his sons would defeat him and the Olympians would rule. Kronos then kidnapped his two youngest sons (Poseidon and Hades) and swallowed them. Zeus and Rhea found out about this and made a plan to rescue Poseidon and Hades. Rhea would then trick Kronos into eating a rock, claiming it was Zeus. Zeus then leaped into action and defeated his father and rescued his little brothers. Kronos ended up coughing up the rock and placed a curse upon it, so if any Olympian ever looked at the rock they would fall into a deep sleep, but the rock was lost and forgotten for ages. Zeus and Poseidon (and possibly Hades, though, I doubt it because Hades seemed to be in good terms with the titans in the movie) worked together to take down the rest of the unruly titans and locked them away under the sea. For his heroic efforts of saving the cosmos, Zeus became a god and the new ruler of the universe. Rhea decided to become a guardian of the universe and watch over it so it wouldn’t end up the way it was when Kronos ruled. Zeus then created Olympus and granted all Olympians a role as a god and gifted his younger brothers their own realms to rule over, Poseidon: the sea and Hades: the underworld. Hades, of course, wasn’t happy about his new role as a god and to make matters worse, Zeus then commanded that their father, Kronos (as well as some other unruly titans), be sentenced to live in the underworld for the rest of eternity as punishment.

Eventually, Prometheus and Epimetheus (good titans) were given the task of creating mortals and animals with the help of Athena (who was given a city-state that became the capital of Greece: Athens, while her brother was granted his own land: Sparta). Mortals didn’t have much down on Earth though, so Prometheus sneaked up to Olympus and stole fire (which was only used by the gods) and gave it to the mortals and well…we all know what happened after that.

But yeah, that’s pretty much my “Golden Era” theory/story for the Hercules universe lol! I’ll give you a few headcanons about the Big Three when they were kids!

Zeus was the most popular of the three and had the most friends.

Zeus was the first one to discover Amalthea and make her their pet goat

Poseidon and Hades looked “normal” as kids, but after they became gods of their domain, their realms started to change their physical appearance over time.

Hades was actually pretty soft as a kid, but his personality toughened up as he got older.

Poseidon’s favorite activity was swimming when he was younger, but Hades wasn’t too fond of it and preferred playing on land.

Oh and yes! Persephone ABSOLUTELY comforts Hades when he has flashbacks about his father. It’s so freaking sweet lol! They usually come in night terrors and he either wakes up in the middle of the night panting and sweating or he’s tossing and turning and making noises in his sleep. Either way, Persephone wakes up with him and comforts him until they fall back asleep. He gets kinda embarrassed about having the nightmares at first because he didn’t want Persephone thinking he was some wimpy, pathetic god that’s afraid of his own father, but Persephone reassured him instantly that he had nothing to be embarrassed about and his feelings were absolutely valid, so from then on he was much more comfortable talking to her about it. Some nights when he struggles to fall back asleep after his night terrors (when Persephone is not around) he’ll drink a cup of hot tea or coffee (caffeinated, of course, because Hades is well known for hating decaf lol) and basically stay up until morning (of course, he’s much more irritable on those days because he didn’t get much sleep). But yeah, he does his best not to think about his dad or talk about him because it brings up bad memories of his childhood and the day he was nearly killed by his own father.

Premise of Sonic Mars was recycled for Sonic Frontiers.

I discovered that the game's story: Sonic Mars had its premise idea recycled by someone at Sega.

(Photo Official of The Sonic Fronteirs)

• Sonic Mars = Sonic Frontiers: Sonic has to save his friends from being trapped in a virtual world.

Sonic Frontiers Story: Following the trails of the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic, Tails and Amy fly in the Tornado towards the Starfall Islands, an archipelago of islands forgotten by everyone. As they approach the islands, a wormhole suddenly appears in the sky, sucking Sonic in and separating him from his friends. Upon waking up, Sonic finds himself trapped in Cyber Space, a digital space that resembles places from his memories. He escapes and finds himself on Kronos Island, one of the Starfall Islands. Guided by a mysterious voice, Sonic must now gather the Chaos Emeralds.

When Sonic tries to save his friends, he gains Cyber Corruption. This corruption causes him great pain, but also gives him new powers that he uses to defeat the gigantic Titans that protect the emeralds. Sonic encounters a holographic girl named Sage who wants him to leave the islands. She was created by Dr. Eggman, who is also trapped in Cyberspace after tampering with the Ancients' technology. On Ares Island, Sonic encounters his friendly rival Knuckles, who was teleported here from Angel Island. The mysterious voice that guided Sonic through the islands is released from cyberspace on Rhea Island. This monster is a planet killer that the Ancients tried to stop long ago by sealing it away. Eggman reluctantly teams up with Sonic to stop him and save the world.

What was Sonic Mars?

(Image edited by me imagining what Sonic Mars would be like)

(Real photo from the Official Sonic Mars game)

The game's proposal was prepared on May 17, 1994 by then-lead designer Michael Kosaka with assistance from Chris Senn and Don Goddard. Opting to frame the game in the Saturday morning show that was still on the air at the time, the hope was to make the first fully 3D game about Sonic and his world. Presented to the management of Sega of America, they gave the green light for the Sega Technical Institute to move forward with the project. When shown what the American side of STI was coming up with for the next chapter of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Yuji Naka, one of the character's creators, could only shake his head and say "good luck", not being very impressed with what was shown and knowing firsthand the difficulties involved in making a Sonic game.

Shortly after the proposal was accepted, Michael Kosaka left Sega due to problems between him and Dean Lester, the producer of Comix Zone. Without a lead designer, Chris Senn was thrust into the role, with Don Goddard reworking the Sonic Mars script. Eventually, the Saturday Morning premise was abandoned due to disinterest, and the game was completely reworked once it changed systems, becoming the more familiar Sonic X-treme.

The game was to be a tie-in to the TV series Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), but the idea was scrapped as the TV show was never released in Japan. The game had several playable characters that would have Sonic as the default for Player 1 , while Player 2 would choose from five other characters, such as Sally Acorn, Bunnie Rabbot, Tails, Knuckles, and Tiara. There would be several endings where Sonic would have to choose between Sally and Tiara. Some special stages were designed as minigames, like the one where Sonic plays air hockey with Robotnik.

In this game, Sonic would save his friends from a virtual world of Dr. Robotnik.

Summary by Michael Kosaka (1994):

While Sonic checks a security alarm in a remote corner of the Great Forest, his friends Sally Acorn, Bunnie Rabbot, Tails, Tiara and Knuckles discovers a strange message from one of Dr. O.mad scientist is trying to take control of Micro Mobius, a virtual world, and the message is a cry for help from your peaceful inhabitants. The hedgehog returns to Knothole and discovers that Eggman captured his friends and took them to the virtual world. Sonic sets out to save his friends and stop Eggman from reformatting Micro Mobius.

(The information where I found that the premise of Sonic Mars was reused in Sonic Frontiers was through the "Tv Tropes" website where you have all the curiosities about the franchise: Sonic The Hedgehog.)

(If you saw that Sonic Frontiers has references to Sonic SatAm, it's because the premise was reused and also because Ian Flynn wrote both Sonic Archie and IDW.😊)
