Just watched the Blood of Zeus season 2 trailer and I have things to say...
(but first you guys need to watch the trailer too)
youtube
(if you still haven't watched the trailer, spoiler warning in advance)
From what I can tell, BOZ season 2 will have Hades and Persephone as sympathized antagonists. Zeus had done them dirty before and now they will take revenge by using Heron and Seraphim (which is why Heron is shown to be doubting the gods in a previous teaser, he could be convinced by Hades/Persephone and started pondering his brother's words)
Now I'm not really jamming with the idea of Hades/Persephone invading Olympus afterward and becoming its new ruler. IIRC the reason Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divided the realms and each ruling one kingdom is to prevent one of them from becoming tyrannical and all-powerful like Kronos. So having Hades ruling both the Underworld and Olympus will defeat the initial purpose and can paint Hades in an even more negative light.
The trailer also shows Hades/Persephone as a power couple. I wouldn't mind that, but I'm worried about how they will handle Demeter. I love Demeter a lot but the media had ruined her and left a bad taste in my mouth. If BOZ follows that path, I'm dropping. I might watch some shorts for the visual, but I will NEVER forgive those who wronged my queen.
I rest my case.
#blood of zeus#blood of zeus season 2#trailer#spoiler alert#my ramblings#Youtube#also i had a friend (you know who you are babe) who had a wonderful idea for Ares that will fits BOZ#it's must more interesting than repeatedly using Hades/Persephone in the media#like there are TONS of media about them already can we move on to other gods please?#i'll let my friend share their idea when they want to#but i promise it's good

// major warning for murder, discrimination, and murder amongst transgender youth
im trying to find the part where the three girls, all older than them, are charged for murder? or are those girls not going to have to deal with any sort of represcussions???
is this going to be another case of "let's keep these people's identities private!!" or what. are we ignoring the fact that those girls bashed nex's head against the bathroom floor meanwhile nobody helped before, during, or after the situation??? because the media did the same thing with brianna ghey, they refused to release information on her killers until what, a year later? why are we working so hard to protect persecutors but not the ones being persecuted?
there are so many things wrong with this situation, let's start with the fact that an ambulance wasn't called upon nex being found? those three girls had quite literally banged their head against the bathroom floor NUMEROUS times, where was your sense of urgency upon finding a SOPHOMORE, A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHO IS NO OLDER THAN 16, beaten on the bathroom floor??
we are talking about a 16 year old, somebody with a whole life ahead of them. nex had so much to live for and now their blood is on your hands and i hope that you feel guilty. i don't even think enraged is the word i am looking for in this situation, it's a feeling far beyond rage.
as a society we truly need to do better because jfc. i have to live my life in fear everyday, so do my friends, the people i love, and thousands of others - we aren't scary, we are scared.
rest well, nex, they will never forget your name ❤️
adding onto this post because i still have so much to say: nex was no different from you and i, they took interest in the same things we do. nex liked the walking dead, minecraft, and their cat, zeus. but now nex won't be able to partake in the things they love because of how f'ed up society is. the fact that america is perfectly fine with murdering innocent people on a daily basis truly tells you all you need to know. we are fighting a war we will never win because people refuse to accept the fact that trans folk just want to live their lives, almost like everybody else!!
i read in a reblog that nex was twospirit and i just wanted to add that, sorry if it seemed as if i was trying to leave that out, i wasn't aware. that doesn't change anything though and my point still stands.
we are not scary, we are scared.
2/25/24: please read what @youareprobablywrong said in the reblogs, it also includes ways to actually take charge and help prevent future events like this

Greek mythology: A first masterpost
I finally decided to put together a masterpost gathering my posts about Greek mythology and Greek gods! I probably won’t get everything, because they are scattered throughout years of this blog, but you will have here all of the most recent ones!
Fighting the Misconceptions about Greek Mythology and Gods
The Hades/Zeus case
The Zeus case: Why such a messy love life? Part 1 and part 2 and
TV Tropes’ fanciful interpretation of Greek mythology: weird details and why the gods do not have a psychology and why them having a Classical Mythology page bothers me . Plus one of the problems of TV tropes (and the Internet as a whole) when receiving Greek myths . Plus my original post depicting my problem with TV tropes’ take on Greek myths.
Do not make things bigger than they were
Why are gods depicted old? (I will probably develop this little joke post into a bigger one later)
We always know but one version of a myth
The three interpretations of Greek mythology - by the Greeks themselves
The five things that, for me, make a “bad” Greek mythology interpretation or adaptation
I hijacked a post to talk about Riordan’s take on Greek gods (with some Lore Olympus in it): part 1 - part 2 - part 3
Various mythological details and topics
Zeus had others wives, you know?
My reaction to “Blood of Zeus”
A whole discussion about the fatness of Dionysos in art and media
I can’t praise enough the Greek mythology season of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller
Hephaestus, the straightest of all the gods?
Why not a black-haired Apollo?
A random detail about the Apollo/Helios situation
How many Muses? (This post was supposed to be the intro to a longer series looking at groups of Greek goddesses and deities in mythology such as the Charites or the Erynies, but given its low success the series was “cancelled”)

Dear Nex,
You're never going to see this. I know. I felt the need to write this for you anyway.
Maybe my input isn't needed because I'm cis, but I hope you and everyone else who sees this knows in spite of my gender identity and the privilege I have as a cis male that I'm aware that I have, I mean every word that I say. I never wanted to be privileged. I don't want to be privileged. I'm so incredibly sorry that I'm privileged. I know it's not right. I know it's not fair. If my input isn't needed, so be it. But I'm going to share it anyway.
My sorrow and rage and pain has not at all subsided since February 20, when I learned of your death. You've been in the back of my mind ever since. The grief and anger hasn't gone away. What your friends said about you and your family as well, shows that you were such a wonderful person. I wonder if you had social media. I would've loved to be your friend if you had Tumblr.
I find myself enjoying sunny weather and thinking "Nex would've liked this". I look at my friends' pet cats and think about Zeus. When listening to rock I wonder if you liked the song I listen to.
You were mistreated by your peers in life, because of your laugh, which I'm sure was wonderful, and the way you dressed. Being yourself cost you your life. And now even in death people refuse to respect you. Transphobes running rampant, calling you your deadname, someone here on Tumblr celebrating your death, labeled as filth. And now? Now your cause of death has been labeled as suicide. Even though absolutely none of it makes sense, and nothing adds up. It just doesn't make sense. And even if somehow you did commit suicide, the day before you did you were physically assaulted by your peers for getting fed up with being mocked. You were bullied before that too. Bullied relentlessly and mercilessly just for being you. The blood is still on their hands.
I'm utterly disgusted by the medical examiner, the state of Oklahoma, the transphobes, even myself sometimes for being so privileged because of my gender identity. I shouldn't be privileged for being cis. We should all be accepted and treated fairly and with care and love and respect. If only things were that ideal..
I'm crying now even as I write this. I so desperately wish that everything was different. That you weren't killed. That you could continue to hang out with your friends and be a kid. Making new recipes. Playing with Zeus. Playing your favorite songs. Making music, if you liked doing that.
Recently my faith and belief in God has been tested. But if there's an afterlife, a Heaven up there, I hope you're having fun and enjoying yourself up there. When I die and reach Heaven, I'll be sure to visit you.
On the other hand, if there's not a Heaven, I hope you're enjoying your eternal rest. Whatever being dead is like without an afterlife, I hope you're ok.
But until then I'm going to try my damndest to ensure your memory stays alive. Posting about you on social media and reblogging posts about you like wildfire so people never forget. I'm not going to let anyone forget you, Nex. I promise you. Me and all of the other people grieving here on Tumblr will continue to say your name, whether our shouts fall on deaf ears or not. We're never going to be silenced.
I raise my cup to you, Nex. You will be avenged. Justice will be served.
I didn't know you and I never will. You never knew me and you never will. But all the same, even if we're eternally strangers, I love you, Nex Benedict. I'm sorry the school failed you, I'm sorry the ambulance failed you, I'm sorry Oklahoma failed you, I'm sorry the world failed you. And perhaps I failed you somehow. And I'm so unbelievably sorry if I did. But I hope keeping your memory alive, and saying your name, and seeking justice can make up for it.
Until we're angels in Heaven once more.
Love, truly,
Finley

Just finished my thoughts on Blood of Zeus season 2 (WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS)
The music makes me feel so nostalgic for some reason?! It reminds me of a bunch of amazing Sword and Sandal movies, Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans (80's) and anything the Universal studios has produced pre-2000's. It's so beautiful. I know it's not as traditional as some recent media has done but it epitomizes more classic depictions of Greek mythology that most people began liking from early childhood.
The first three episodes were a little weird for some reason. Buuuuut it started to get better.
Hades and Persephone actually has a pretty good reason to be stirring so absolute tea. Also ZAGREUS AND MELINOE ARE THERE POOR BIBIS.
I do... fucking...not...want to assume Hermes cut Heron's life line but why am I getting that weird sneaking suspicion he did??? Maybe Gaia is suspect too.
I LOVE the inclusion of more gods, even if some of them were just cameos.
The mischaracterization of Ares, Demeter and Hades to some extent was a fuckn whiplash. Like Ares.... GOING TO RAPE PERSEPHONE? Hell fucking no that's Heresy. Demeter being ruthless for no reason seemed very off too. Hades is most suppose to be reasonable, it felt somehow forced. I don't know....but it was more interesting then the forced conflicts between Hera and almost half of everyone else.
Hera's redemption was a bit rushed...but I actually appreciate that at least someone isn't trying to make things more complicated.
THE USE OF CORDYCEPS FUNGUS WILL NEVER NOT BE FUCKING HORRIFYING AS SHIT LIKE DAAAAAAAMN DEMETER THATS NURGLE SHIT.
Seraphim is...ugh...there....I mean yey he's becoming more redeemable...but....it feels ....forced??? I don't know it's the second season I could being annoying about it.
The sphinx design was perfect! Her riddles were bullshit tho.
Gorgo seems like she's a reference to Medusa the Gorgon in the Ovid version of the myth. Mostly because of the root word 'gorgo'.
I found the inclusion of the Three Kings of the Underworld to be both interesting yet a bit ironic. Considering each king is a known character from the myths that were guilty of equally terrible things. It would be interesting to have them be ancient pre-Hellenic kings.
Gaia was the coolest grandma ever....and I don't blame her for being epic as fuk frustrated to the point of summoning Typhon.
9/10 🏺, I recommend watching this show to get a perfect understanding of how to play around with a retelling without 100% completely misunderstanding the myth

Percy Jackson Careers
I'm tired of everyone writing Percy as a marine biologist, so I've compiled a list of jobs he would actually have as an adult.
Teacher. Specifically a middle school Latin teacher, modeled after his year in Chiron/Mr. Brunner’s class. Maybe he just does it because he likes kids and likes teaching, maybe he works as like a long-term sub to get into schools where they think there are half-bloods. I don’t know, but I could totally see him as a teacher in some capacity, and I think he would work really hard to make sure that none of his students feel the way he did in school.
Underwater archaeologist. This is a real thing. There are a lot of shipwrecks that are accessible and provide valuable resources, as well as a lot of ancient sites that are now underwater as a result of shifting coastlines and changes in sea level. @phykios has a great post about Percy as an underwater archaeologist here.
Plumber. Because he is after all Supreme Lord of the Bathroom.
Electrician. Because he loves to mess with the gods. He becomes an electrician as a 'fuck you' gesture to Zeus.
Demigod Union Rep. I know we all joke about how Percy ‘pay your damn child support’ Jackson essentially appointed himself as the demigod union rep at the end of The Last Olympian, but what if they made that official? He takes a class on Ancient & Immortal Laws in college, and now demigods call him in whenever they’re having issues with a god. They all pay “union dues” so he can collect a salary of sorts.
Aquarium worker. There are several possible routes Percy could take to work in an aquarium. I've listed a few ideas below.
Presenter/Educator. Like, the guy who does the little shows for kids and shows all the school groups around. Percy is great with kids, and I think he’d have so much fun presenting, but also just interacting with kids and families visiting the aquarium.
Aquarist. This is apparently a real word for a person who takes care of fish, which my sister discovered by googling 'zookeeper but aquarium.' Anyway, Percy would be the person who cleans their tanks and sets their diets and provides enrichment, etc. Also, accredited aquariums would have a research branch to study fish and observe behavior, and Percy would be super helpful because he could just. Ask the fish.
Social media manager. He would have so much fun posting memes and fun facts on the aquarium's social media accounts, and I think his sarcasm would make him a huge hit on the internet, a la Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Plus, I think he would spread fish gossip all over Twitter.
If you have any more, please feel free to add them!
#no shade to the people who write him as a marine biologist#but we as a fandom can do better#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians

Five Ships, Five Fandoms.
@persnickety-doodles tagged whoever sees her post. I saw her post.
Hades and Persephone (Greek Mythology): Since my early in life introduction to Greek Mythology I've been fond of the couple of the Lord of the Underworld and his Queen. Today I'm focusing on the version/adaptation brought forth by Netflix's Blood of Zeus. Season 2 blew my expectations out of the water and now I'm intoxicated. Go watch the show, please.
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine (Resident Evil): Videogames are one of my favorite things in the world. And quite honest I can't think of a couple in videogames I like more or as much as I like the relationship between Chris and Jill.
Rosalie Hale and Emmett Cullen (The Twilight Saga): And I'll be damned. I sincerely like something related to Twilight. The main characters might be boring but something I believe this franchise has in its favor is the plethora of interesting and entertaining side-characters. Rosalie and Emmett not only are my favorite characters individually, but their relationship feels like heaven within hell.
Tom and Maddie Wachowski (Sonic the Hedgehog Cinematic Universe): Tom and Maddie's lack of conflict and drama is a gift after years of tedious, exhausting, and sometimes unesesary obstacles that couples in media have to or are forced to deal with. The Wachouski's marriage is one of love, respect, fun, support, understanding, camaraderie, happiness and friendship. It's a recipe for bliss and I love the heck out of a marriage portrayed like this and not the typical punishment.
Belle and Beast/Adam (Beauty and the Beast): Simply put one of my favorite stories of all time and possibly my favorite love story of all time. I've read and watched several versions but the one I'm talking about, my favorite, is the animated movie. You know the one.
Not tagging anyone. Be free to make your list.

Steve Rogers x male reader
Steve’s usually kept his guard up, never had let it down, but what happens when he’s dating a guy who’s the more domestically dominant type, where he love taking care of steve, loves taking care of him, and wants steve to be vulnerable around him
Sub!Steve Rogers x Dom!Male reader
Cw:(fluff to smut, Comforting steve rogers, fingering, thigh fucking, smut)
I was simply sitting on the couch, scrolling on social media. I was listening to music and humming slightly to myself. I turned my head to the side when I heard the elevator door open. I winced when I saw my very tired, frustrated, and disoriented boyfriend Steve. I got up and made my way over to him when he dropped his shield and held his head in his hands. He had cuts and bruises all over. I touched his arm and jumped when he slammed it away, looking at me with frantic eyes. I looked around to make sure no one else was around. "Alright, come on big guy. Let's take this to my room." I said gently and somehow picked him up. He hid his face in my neck and clung onto me. His whole body was rigid and stiff.
I kicked my door open softly and went to the bathroom. I set him down and went to get some supplies. I came back and he seemed to have calmed down a bit. "Stevie? Are you there Love?" I whispered and kneeled in front of him. He nodded and looked to the side in embarrassment. "Sorry about that earlier. I'll be heading back to my room…" He said and went to stand up. "Oh no you don't. I don't trust you alone so I'll be taking care of you." I said stood up, crossing my arms. "Now that I know you can stand, take your clothes off." I said. He looked at me with a blush. "I-I'm sorry?" He stuttered. "Take. Your. Clothes. Off." I growled.
He looked down with a blush and pulled his suit off. He left his boxers on though. I made him sit back down and kneeled down in front of him. I opened the First Aid Kit and gently took one of his legs. He winced as I cleaned around one of the big wounds he had on his thigh and dabbed some petroleum jelly on the cut. I took some gauze and wrapped it around his thigh. I shifted my focus on his other leg where he had some glass stuck in his skin. I took some tweezers and began to gently pull them out and put them on a tissue.
Steve's p.o.v
I didn't know what to feel. Aside from Bucky, he is the first person who has ever cared about my well-being this much. M/n is so much like Bucky. He so caring, gentle, smart, quiet, attractive, hot, god he is so hot-
"Stevie? Would you like to eat something?" M/n asked. I snapped out of my daze with a shy blush and nodded. He put the supplies away and that's when I noticed he had completely washed all the blood away. All my wounds were bandaged and taken care of. "W-Wow." I whispered. I blushed when he picked me up and carried me back to his room. He put me on the bed and went through his dresser drawers. "You can borrow these until you go back to your room in a couple of days." He said and helped me put a shirt on and some sweatpants. "Days?! This is humiliating…" I said and hid my red face in his sheets. "C'mon it's not that bad. I know how sore you get after missions like that." He said and laid me down properly. "Don't move, I'll be right back." He said and left.
I sighed and just sat up to lean against the headboard. I got out my phone and checked my messages real quick.
Sammy: Yo Steve! I heard you got caught again! Haha
Stevie: M/n literally dragged me and held me down 😞
Canman: Shouldn't have made all those flashy moves, Rogers🤷
Stevie: I was just doing my job :(
Sammy: good luck with that 😂
Frosty paws: Says the one in my lap rn-
Big_angy: must be nice 😒
Zeus: I am coming my love💞
Big_angy: 💙
I huffed and grabbed one of the pillows and held it as I curled up. "Steve? I got something to make you feel better!" M/n said and carried in a tray. I looked over and saw some steak with rice and a slice of Apple pie that was heated and a scoop of Ice cream on top. "Aww. Thank you so much, Darling!" I said and took the tray. I tensed when he wiggled in behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "W-What are you going?" I asked. "What? I can't cuddle my favorite person?" He said smoothly in my ear. "N-No…I mean yes!" I sputtered. "Adorable~" He chuckled and nuzzled on my neck, pulling out his phone and watching a cat and dog compilation. I rolled my eyes playfully and continued eating my desert.
After a bit, I looked down to see what M/n was taking pictures of us. I blushed and pushed his phone away quickly. "What was that for?" I stuttered in a flustered manner. He laughed and closed his camera app. "Sorry. You just look so adorable when you're enjoying something." M/n said and smirked. I elbowed him lightly and went to get up. "Oh no you don't." He said and pulled me back in his lap. "Lemme get up! I gotta wash this!" this!" I whined. "I'll do it then." He said with a proud smirk and walked away.
Steve sat in silence as he heard distant water running. I took this time to curl up in his bed, wrapping the warm blankets around me to go to sleep. After a while M/n finished and went back upstairs. "Stevie! Do you wanna- oh…he's asleep…" M/n said. My heart skipped a beat when I felt the bed move from behind me and his arm wrapped around me. "Goodnight, Steve." He whispered and kissed me on the nape of my neck.
(Your p.o.v)
He looked so at ease now. The way his body was so relaxed now made me feel like I did my job well. He's just so obedient when it comes to me even if he doesn't notice that I notice. I love taking care of him. Steve is just such a wonderful boyfriend-
"Kiss me on the mouth!" He said suddenly. I jumped and blushed when he flipped around to face me. "Steve…of course." I said and caressed his face with my hand. I leaned in and kissed him softly. I could feel his face heating up against mine. We pulled away and I smirked at him with hazy eyes. He was squirming and avoiding eye contact.
"Are you sure a kiss is all you want? We can take it further, if you'd like? I'm always willing to go further with you." M/n whispered to me. "Please~" He said with big desperate puppy eyes. "Of course, Love. Let me do all the work." I whispered and shimmed down further in the blankets. He gasped when I pulled off his shorts.
"M/n…" Steve breathed out. "I'll be gentle with you. I don't wanna make you any more sore than you already are…or maybe I do~" I smirked and pulled his cock out. I purred and sucked on the tip. He arched his back against the bedsheets and moaned softly. "G-Gosh M/n…ngh~" Steve moaned when I wiggled my finger into his tight hole. He rolled onto his back and spread his legs wider. "I-If you keep doing that I-I'll cum…!" Steve begged as his legs twitched.
I held his thigh with one hand and went down further on his cock, I moaned lightly and slowly put a second finger in his now wet hole. I grunted a bit when he came down my throat. "Yesss!!!" He let out a drawn out moan and fisted the blanket. He looked down and lifted the blanket up to look at me through his big chest. I opened my mouth at him and chuckled when his face turned even more red. I crawled up back to the surface and kissed him. He kissed back and hugged me. "You're so cute…" I whispered to him and pecked his lips.
I shimmied off my pants and took out the lube. I applied a generous amount on both of us to make sure I didn't hurt him. "Be a good boy and stay still." I growled and slowly eased my cock in his tight hole. He gasped and rolled his hips against me. I lightly slapped his thigh. "Sit still." I purred. He nodded and hid his face in a pillow. I slowly fucked into him. "Ooooh~ That feels so good~ Nghhhhhhh~" Steve whined. I touched his chest, squeezing and pinching his chesticles. "M/n! Please!" He begged quietly and let out another drawn out moan. "Fuuuck you feel so good~" I growled and went faster. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he arched his back. "Yes Yes Yes Right There!!!" He screamed. "You're going- ngh…to blow a fuse Babe." I groaned. He let out a moan of frustration and I went faster. I saw how desperate his cock was so I decided to ease his frustrations.
I jerked him off at my thrusting speed. He moaned loudly and hugged my hips with his legs. "Fuck baby!" I groaned and went faster. I cried out and came on his tummy. "M/N!!!" He cried out. I ceased all movement, panting and going to pull out. "W-Wait! Aren't you going to cum as well?" He asked suddenly. I smiled and caressed his sides. "I can deal with it later. I don't want to hurt you-" I started but he cut me off. "Then use my thighs. I wanna make you cum too!!" He said. My cock twitched at that idea. "Fuck…hell yeah…" He said and flipped on his side. I got behind him and immediantly fucked his thighs. They were thick and just as tight as his hole. I groaned loudly and hugged his body close to me. "C-Cumming…!" I cried out and came all over his thighs and my bed sheets.
"God you're so perfect…" I whispered and kissed him. He whimpered and turned back around to kiss me. "Only for you~" He teased with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and got out a rag and wiped our mess. "Wanna take a shower?" I asked. "Too tired…sleep…" He mumbled and buried himself back in the sheets. I giggled. Abit and kissed his neck. "My good boy~" I purred and coddled him. Little did we both know what the others were saying in a certain chat room.

Hello can I ask for an Hermes angst where the reader ends up dying in Ragnarok?
A/N: Oh, this sounds amazing! It got me nack into the mood to write, so thanks a lot! Also, I made the reader a gn!God, so I hope that I did you justice, dear anon <3
Summary: Hermes has to watch you, his godly lover, die in front of his eyes
Warnings: angst, violence (blood, fights), death, grief
Tagging @http-rae and @lololagni <3
From the moment he saw your name on the participant list, Hermes has been on edge. He tried to hide it from everyone else. While most Gods missed the way he moved more stiffly, those like Zeus caught onto it. Of course, why wouldn't Hermes be so tensed up? His lover was going to participate in Ragnarok! It wasn't like he didn't trust you and your abilities. He knew that you were capable of defending yourself. But... a small, irrational part of his brain told him that this was not going to end well for both of you.
Hermes stood with Ares as Heimdall announced the next round of Ragnarok. Hermes masked his uneasiness with neutrality. He watched as Heimdall introduced you... and then your opponent. Hermes was confident that you could beat them. But this little annoying voice in his head kept on pestering him, telling him otherwise.
Hermes watched the fight commence. The tension was grinding on his nerves. He watched every single one of your movements, explaining your techniques and skills to Ares. Even the God of War could see how stiff Hermes was, but he found no words to comfort his brother.
You dodged your opponent's attacks with ease, but somehow, it got increasingly difficult for you to do so. Hermes had to watch as your opponent landed more and more attacks on your body – the body he always worshipped was now littered with injuries.
His eyebrows furrowed in terror as your strength faded away. No... it couldn't be. The Gods watched in horror as your opponent landed one final hit on you. You stood there, blood pooling out of your wounds. Your body collapsed to the ground... and then dissipated into thin air.
No... no, this had to be a nightmare. There was no way that a measly human being... killed you. No. This was a cruel prank that Loki was pulling on him. But a glance at the God of Mischief convinced him that this was real. It wasn't an illusion. You were gone. You were actually gone.
Hermes was frozen in place. His eyes were wide. He couldn't take his eyes off the arena. No. It couldn't be true. He pressed his lips together, biting back the tears that threatened to leak. He couldn't allow himself to mourn and grieve... not now. It got increasingly difficult for him to keep his composure. His hands were balled into fists, trembling ever so slightly.
He ignored what the other Gods said and left. He retreated to his private chambers. No one dared to follow him. Of course, everyone knew of your relationship. Therefore, they could figure out that Hermes was... not feeling well, to put it mildly. No one dared to disturb him.
Hermes felt pure, unadulterated hatred for the human that killed you. They took you away... brutally. Ragnarok was a mistake. The Gods should've exterminated them without giving them a chance. But... there was nothing he could do about it. You were gone... and you wouldn't come back.
For the first time in his entire existence, Hermes fell into despair.

Rabbid Lore Headcanon: Hopefully Close As Possible To Canon With Some Insane Reaches
Rabbid Biology?
Mortality:
Aside from their eerily humanoid body, stubby legs, mitten hands, buck teeth, and bulging eyes, one of their most startling traits is being borderline immortal (or as it was described in the Rabbids Invasion movie, practically indestructible). Able to endure horrific abuse and remain not only alive but generally healthy and able-bodied. In a majority of rabbid media, they take the brunt of fires, explosions, chemical burns, crushings, crashings, falls, beat downs, skeletal deformation, and plain mutilation, and though coming out misshapen, bruised, furless, or even missing a limb or two, they still manage to not only recover but find humor in it.
It also appears that they're able to regenerate limbs as well, similar to axolotls, though it's doubtful that they can breathe underwater like them as well. However in some cases, rabbids are seen with visible scars, clear unhealed damage that should have healed the minute it was inflicted, but instead has aged. Such outliers, while perhaps a flaw in their DNA, can also be because said damage had afflicted the rabbid psychologically, and thus, the body couldn't heal it properly (as far as observed, a mentally damaged or genetically flawed rabbid cut in half does not, in fact, stay in half, but the scar of where they had been sliced will remain).
Rabbid deaths are yet to be shown, though perhaps the rabbid zombies in the Rayman Raving Rabbids prototype can account for them, but even then, the cause of their deaths or any potential rabbid death remains unknown, their lifespans being just as endless as the rest of Glade creatures, never dying of old age. Though their deaths are not a commonality, the concept of death is not at all foreign to them. They know what death is and are observed to grieve and create funerals for their lost companions. Sure the companions in question are usually objects, but that doesn't mean they are incapable of showing respect for those who are no longer living, and to some extent, makes them spiritual creatures.
Returning to their mortality, slow deaths such as drowning, starvation, or asphyxiation only put them into comas until other rabbids (or humans) find them to resuscitate them, which surprisingly requires very little effort to do. With how quickly they're able to regenerate or at the very least heal open wounds, falling ill from infection doesn't seem very common, though not an impossibility for the fact that some rabbids can catch colds, fevers, or even develop allergies. But even if these ailments get to a point where they become lethal to the host, it's likely that they only fall into a coma as a way to recover over time.
To allow such quick regeneration, the speed and sheer power of the rabbid's nervous system is so intense that they not only can handle extreme volts of electricity but seem to emit such intense electricity on their own. Practically a living battery that when given a slight shock can cause an explosion of hyperactivity. However the intensity of how much electricity they emit seems to vary from rabbid to rabbid, some emitting enough to disrupt radio signals, some managing to learn how to use this trait to their advantage as a way to power machinery or to shoot bolts of lightning like Zeus, but most of the time it's just a quirk that gives them a bit of a rush when electrocuted. A hardy organism, but would their mutilated limbs have the same hardness as the host? Very likely.
Organic Resources:
A resource that does not age or disintegrate can become a valuable one. A cut-off limb has no reason to regenerate, the limbs collected and often hollowed out to create very durable leather, their indestructible yet flexible bones are utilized for structural support of buildings or tools. The fact that rabbids can bruise and form rashes implies the blood flow within their muscles is similar to that of the common mammal, their only defense being an impenetrable hide, without it their flesh is vulnerable to the elements, as well as cuts and tears, allowing them to be prepared and served as a rare delicacy (though the consumption of rabbid matter should be highly discouraged considering the kind of diet rabbids tend to have, not to mention how chewy the meat is, it'll almost be like chewing a massive chunk of meaty gum). Rabbid hide, bones and flesh being an extremely rare and valuable resource that cannot be farmed for the simple fact that almost nothing can break through the hide of a rabbid, adding to their value. If their bodies are near indestructible, did rabbids dispose of such limbs before Earth? They likely ate them.
Digestive System:
Their stomach acid appears to be extraordinarily corrosive, their odd and powerful intestines able to pass down and gain energy from the rusty metals they consume alongside normal food. Due to this, it has created a habit of shoving anything they find into their maws, either swallowing them whole, sucking them, or taking the time to chew them, though their teeth appear to not be built for breaking down anything other than meats and plants, maybe even some fabrics, plastics and cardboard. Their teeth are structured similarly to a rabbit's, with four incisors and twelve molars, only two of those incisors being the most visible out of all of their teeth, so much so it almost appears as if those incisors are their only teeth no matter how wide they open their maws.
Teeth aside, a rabbid's stomach seems capable of digesting almost anything but even then it doesn't mean that certain items don't harm the rabbid. Surprisingly, they seem prone to stomach aches and stomach bugs, their body reacting just as any would, expelling the contents of the stomach either by the mouth or the butt. One object that seems to have the most impact on not only the rabbid's stomach but their entire bodies is carrot juice. By some bizarre process, carrot juice being mixed with the acids of their stomach triggers an intense chemical reaction within their bodies, creating a yet-to-be-identified chemical that when absorbed into the bloodstream and making its journey to the brain, manages to interfere with the powerful neurotransmitters of the rabbid's brain. Following suit would be what is well known as symptoms of drunkenness, carrot juice mirroring the process that alcohol undergoes within the human body, yet surprisingly a rabbid ingesting alcohol does nothing but make them a bit gassy. Despite having such an intoxicating affect, it only formed an affinity toward carrots, in some cases becoming an addiction.
Another oddity to take note of is their ability to not only hold onto items within their stomach (whether it be food or miscellaneous trinkets) without them dissolving from the stomach acids but also to allow items to pass through untouched without any irritation. For example, if they swallow an item, they can discard it immediately from the other end, the item being no different than how it first went in, the same goes if an item is inserted from behind and is miraculously discarded from the mouth. The muscles are focused and coordinated enough to do it effortlessly, so much so it's usually done for the fun of it. If a rabbid were to be spit roasted, they very likely would not find an issue in it, they may even find it funny.
As for their digestive waste, it's surprisingly similar to human waste, their toxic diet is no different to that of average city folk, and though their numbers are far higher than that of humans, their waste has not become of any environmental concern. How so? Rabbids appear to prefer doing their business in human outhouses or bathrooms. What about accidents or cases of rabbids doing their business how every animal would? It would likely be tended to by some unfortunate human who believed a neighbor had dropped a deuce in their yards. With how common it is for a rabbid to dispose of their waste as a human, current methods of disposing of said waste did not need to be altered by a lot to accustom to rabbid waste, the only changes being the size of such facilities. Just like how all purified water once came from the toilets of man, it also comes from the toilets of rabbid. And just like a majority of organisms, they expel bodily waste from two exists, the anus and urethra, the urethra often sharing orifices with reproductive organs, but compared to other mammals or any creature of Earth and the Glade, their reproductive organs are quite the oddity.
Reproduction:
Rabbits have quite the reputation for reproducing in massive numbers, so it's to no surprise that rabbids would share this characteristic as well, however for modern rabbids, the methods of their reproduction have been altered so drastically that it can no longer be considered natural reproduction, but instead artificial cloning. Before they developed the technology to clone one another - that era being before they had been bullied into violent madness - they reproduced like any other mammal would, sexually.
Sexual reproduction is the process of the genetic information of two organisms being combined to create offspring, one half of this genetic information coming from the male's sex cells (sperm) whereas the other half comes from the female's sex cells (egg), the delicate process that follows being the long incubation of offspring by egg or womb. The length of the incubation, number of offspring, age of maturity, ovulation cycles and general lifespan of an organism has a massive impact on how often they can reproduce successfully. A rabbit's reproduction rate being incredibly high not only due to their short lifespans as prey animals, but also due to their short pregnancies, large litters, quick maturity, and ability to rebreed immediately after kindling, making it possible for one rabbit to have one litter per month. Yet somehow, having the highest reproduction rate of all livestock, rabbids manage to beat a rabbit's numbers by a lot.
How so? Well for one they're Glade creatures, they seem to all spawn in intense numbers (look at Globox), rabbids no doubt sharing this trait to a more rediculous degree as prey animals of the Glade enviroment. Howver one trait that truly sets them apart and adds to their fertility is the fact that rabbids are hermaphrodite. Baring a unique reproductive organ that not only produces both sperm and egg but allows rabbids to be impregnated and to impregnate others, the entirety of their genitalia protected internally and almost invisible from the outside, being so well hidden that even rabbids themselves forget its existence, the only time it becomes visible is when they breed. Not only does this reproductive organ double their litters, considering rabbids have a seemingly endless life span and intense durability, the mortality rate of rabbid kits would be extraordinarily low, almosy all surviving to maturity and becoming one of millions that will be pumping out litters for who knows how long. How the environment they thrived in lasted for so long with their uncontrollable population is anyone's guess, perhaps they were not as indestructible back in the day, which would explain why there are no pre-cloning rabbids in sight, though it's scary to imagine what in the Glade of Dreams was capable of keeping their numbers in check, perhaps they ate each other. Population control aside, while it's simple to grasp how these creatures reproduced in the past, how they reproduce now is quite the puzzle.
It is assumed that after a long period of intense stress and torture, the rabbids reproduction rate would plummet to the point they became completely infertile, which may have been one of the many factors that contributed to their retreat deep into the depths of the earth. From their retreat came not only the rapid evolution in their technology but a completely new culture that focused on senseless self-experimentation, likely as an attempt to reshape their biology into one that can no longer succumb to horrific abuse. With that constant experimentation came the rabbids that are known and feared, having undergone an unknown amount of genetic alterations to the point their very genetic makeup became incredibly unstable making them prone to abrupt mutations.
This instability would be especially apparent in their behavior, having become erratic and violent, their actions impulsive and without reason, the only constant they maintained being the goal for vengeance and war. While their behavioral quirks and technological advancements are a curiosity to behold, for this portion, their reproduction will be the main focus. Either as a result of frequent mutations or continued frustrations in maintaining any form of infancy (surrogacy or artificially), the rabbids eventually discovered that the only method that successfully kept their species alive was cloning (as shown in the opening scene of Rabbids Alive n' Kicking) utilizing massive cloning pools to spontaneously create many rabbids from one. And due to their tendency to mutate, even clones don't end up the same in blood, behavior, or even appearance as the original, especially with the fact that items or creatures are sometimes tossed into these pools, merging those traits and the rabbid's to create unique rabbids. However these mergings are normally used in smaller pools, meant to only create one clone, as a way to ensure that if the merge results in an undesirable rabbid, it would at least only result in one of its kind instead if many.
Exact clones are possible, but the method of which requires more precision. Instead of pools, pods are used to ensure all genetic information is replicated to the very cell (basing off of Mad Rabbid's cloning machine... which wasn't really a pod, more of an emptied refrigerator). Exact-clones are rare, not because of the effort required, but because the rabbids see no purpose in making many of the same rabbid (what if one day they hate that rabbid and by proxy they end up hating a majority of the population?). If an exact-clone is to be made, the rabbid being cloned has to be one of great importance to the colony, for example, scientists.
Almost all high-ranking professors are exact clones of Ph.D. Barranco, the original being the easiest to recognize with their bandages and bruises, having decided to create an exact-clone of themselves before fully committing to their harmful self-experimentation, not trusting any other rabbid to take their place as the top stable-minded professor (they were very insistent about it, and no matter how much they limped and cried in pain, their obsession with experiencing the brunt of experiments was unwavering). That exact-clone being referred to as Barranco II, who would be the superior of all additional Barranco clones, these additional clones supervising non-Barranco pool-clones who have proved themselves to be decent enough scientists. Exact-clones, of course, would technically be considered as actual clones since the rabbid's build and memories is duplicated to the fullest - unlike pool-clones - but rabbids are strange, and with their strangeness comes the need to make up new, very confusing, and contradictory terms.
To no surprise, the mutations and experiments solidified rabbids as mules, but despite being incapable of reproducing sexually, they managed to maintain their primitive mating behavior, or in more crude terms, their ridiculous sex drive. As made obvious in early rabbid media, these rodents are incredibly horny and do not hold back when expressing it, and as a direct result of assimilating with human culture, what they find attractive would align with human beauty standards. They're already not the brightest of creatures, attraction only dumbing them down that much further, courting anything that catches their eye. Whether they're courting another rabbid, a human, or an inanimate object, like a doll or a traffic cone, maybe even a bar of soap. What a rabbid considers attractive is near impossible to pin down, sometimes it's as obvious as a very fit man or a very curvy woman, but other times it makes no sense at all, like a tennis racket or a plunger. Despite their tastes, they seem to be loyal partners, while not as loyal as albatross, they're at least as loyal as humans, one can't help but feel jealous with how a rabbid cares for their inanimate lover.
(A minor note, but due to earth-settled-rabbids progressively becoming calmer and friendlier over time, it may be possible that rabbids have regained some of their fertility. That's if the Rabbids Short featuring a rabbid-human hybrid is canon.)
Subspecies
With such a long period of experimentation and rapid mutations, its to no surprise that some mutations are more common than others, so much so that they're identified as new breeds of rabbid, those being mini rabbids (depicted in RRRGBA, Rabbids Invasion and MxRSparks of Hope) heavy rabbids (depicted in R4, RRR2, MxRKingdom Battle and MxRSparks of Hope), warrior rabbids (depicted in RRR), butcher rabbids (depicted in R4, RRR, Rabbids Invasion, MxRKingdom Battle and MxRSparks of Hope), kaiju rabbids (depicted in Captain LazerhawkBDR) and ancient rabbids (depicted in Rabbids Invasion).
Mini rabbids as the name would imply are a lot smaller than the average rabbid, so much so they could almost be mistaken for rabbid kits, which unfortunately makes them vulnerable to being pet, grabbed and coddled when they don't want to by both outsiders and other rabbids, rabbids in particular treating them as kits, also maintaining some maternal instincts despite no rabbid kits having been born for centuries. They're often more aggressive and more hyper than the average rabbid, likely to compensate for their small size.
Heavy rabbids are a lot larger than the average rabbid, not to mention a lot rounder. Some utilize their size for tasks that require a lot of muscle, while others utilize their size to do what they want to a stubborn degree, knowing well they're a near unstoppable force and immovable object - at least compared to their mini and average counterparts.
A warrior rabbid is almost three times the size of the average rabbid, their fur prickly and dark, their temperament on par with that of a mini rabbid. Their only duty was to guard rabbid hideouts from outsiders, often seen heavily armored and weilding heavy weaponry. They also share a behavioral quirk, that being sleep-guarding (sleep walking but only in their respective stations) which made them extremely efficient guards. They kept order within rabbid societies, doing as Barranco clones command of them and punishing unruly workers.
Butcher rabbids (also known as gorilla rabbids) are the largest of all workers (worker rabbids accounting for all rabbids excluding kaiju and ancient rabbids), as well as the most intimidating with their muscular build and terrifying roars. Despite being quite the weapon, they're mostly tasked with breaking apart materials and food, hence being butchers. With such a terrifying demeanor, they manage to be the friendliest of workers, but that doesn't mean they aren't horrifying beasts when needed.
Kaiju rabbids are the biggest of all rabbids, their emperor (Emperor Jabbit, the rabbid who ruled all of rabbid kind before they had been driven to madness) having been the first to have mutated in such manner, and despite having the ability to destroy entire cities, they're used to dispose of indestructible rabbid scrap (sometimes disposing of rabbids as well), their fecal matter used to power their hideouts. Despite having such a seemingly torturous purpose, the colossal rabbids are content with it, their endless hunger quenched with how much waste rabbids produce.
Now for ancient rabbids, this variety in particular is a bit more difficult to describe when as far as depicted canonically, there is only one survivor, Lapinibernatus. As he claims, he is an ancient ancestor of the rabbid who was living in a global utopia before life on Earth. Thought that explanation completely contradicts the initial invasion of the rabbids, it can easily be explained when recalling the rabbid's most powerful invention, the time traveling washing machine. It is likely Lapini (short for Lapinibernatus) had used one of these machines to travel far back in time to colonize Earth before it was inhabitable for life, creating the utopia he lived in for an unknown amount of time before it all came crumbling down during the Late Heavy Bombardment, no trace left of it as the eras of life on Earth progressed. For potentially billions of years Lapini would be in a coma, his body eventually incased in a block of ice which would be discovered by humans. Earth-settled-rabbids who had infultrated human facilities being responsible for freeing and reviving him. A plausible set of events to how Lapini came to be, but what about his drawings depicting rabbids as having evolved from him?
Perhaps there had been other survivors of his kind who didn't fall into a coma, instead facing the new environmental extremes head-on, forced to use primitive methods to survive. In the wild, high intelligence isn't a trait that survives for long, while it's capable of evolving a species for the better, it's not a guarantee. The energy required to maintain such intelligence across bloodlines is immense, keeping such a trait costing them the opportunity to form more beneficial traits such as strength, stamina, body mass, stronger immune systems, keeping the body warm/cool, and so on. When it comes to an environment of intense competition, higher thought is bred out in favor of more primitive strengths, which could give reason to why rabbids evolved the way they did, growing in body mass and adaptability at the cost of intelligence, a needed sacrifice for the survival of rabbid kind, at least for the variant of rabbids that Lapini was a part of. Why would a rabbid's evolution go from dimwit, to genius, and back to dimwit? Perhaps they were already the perfect organism as dimwits, ideal for adapting to any environment, planet, or dimension, which is made abundantly clear when contrasting the modern rabbid's behavior with Lapini's behavior. A Quiet, anti-social reclusive rabbid is not as adaptable as a loud, social, and invasive rabbid. While these variants are so physically and behaviorally different, there are some traits they all share that are near impossible to breed/genetically edit out of them, such as their odd body structure, bald spots, ears, weakness to carrots, outbursts, love of dance and music.

Record Of Ragnarok Sona
Sorry if there isn't any description of what my Sona looks like. If you saw the meme I made about a god Blogger, that's my meme here is the link
Poseidon VS Sasaki
Name: Sora
Species: Demigod,Human (Formerly)
Height: 5’1 FT
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Affiliation: Gods, Humanity, Interviewer/Social Media
Personality: She’s generous and forgiving towards less powerful individuals and those she views as a rival. However, she deeply supports humanity, but there is still a strong semblance of respect towards the gods. She can be playful and gullible to a certain extent, and is full of lively energy. She isn’t afraid to take responsibility for her actions, apologizing for her mistakes. As a stubborn individual, she stands firm with her decisions. She’s very caring and kind like an older sister, and fairly emotionally sensitive and passionate about her work. She can act childish and brash at times, which contributes to her sudden clumsiness. She’ll only drop the child-like act when she recognizes that her current situation is serious. She has a good sense of humor that she isn’t afraid to use during her interviews. She’s humbly confident and fairly courageous, but she’s afraid to interview with one person, which is Poseidon.
Backstory: Sora suffered a lot from her family members through her childhood into adulthood she would feel like an outcast from her family, willing to help them when needed or just to do what they said. During the middle of a war, she helped some of the people who were left behind and tossed aside. However, she would be hurt in the process from soldiers who intended to kill everyone in their wake. They killed and severely injured the people she helped, making her efforts futile, and left her to bleed to death. Odin was simply minding his own business when he came across Sora, taking interest in her potential. Odin stole some of Zeus’ blood with the intention of creating a loyal follower. He offered the blood of Zeus to her and she hesitated at first, but eventually came to the conclusion that it’s best to do so. At that moment, she became a demigod and was grateful for Odin’s unexpected help. Odin is a scary and mean individual, but he was compelled to tell Sora that she should pretend to be his daughter. He’s simply hiding the fact that she’s a demigod in order to gather more valuable information on the Primordial God, Arkhé. As a social media interviewer, Zerachiel and Malphas like to help her with certain tasks such as setting up dates and observing which gods and humans would be good interview candidates. Sora adopted Zerachiel and Malphas when they got abandoned.

It is fascinating how, when you look at American pieces of media about Greek mythology, there is this strong underlying trend of making it Christian-themed.
Just randomly picking three America pieces of fiction "adapting" Greek mythology: 2014's The Legend of Hercules, makes Hercules a new Jesus and Samson, with a whole holy conception. The first season of "Blood of Zeus"? Filled with Christian themes and motifs that contradict actual Ancient Greek philosophies and mythological motifs. Disney's Hercules? Hades is just the Christian devil (and in fact was originally designed as a typical red-clad horn-and-pitchfork devil).
I could pull other pieces like that - in fact I might do, as I plan a little "Greek mythology media" series - but yeah... There is a fascinating (and just as disturbing) trend in America of using Greek mythology to convey Christian stories and Christian messages...
... Which in itself is not very surprising because Christians themselves have been Christianizing Greek and Roman mythologies since the Middle-Ages (in fact it is why it was kept alive so much)... But it is still surprising to see it all continues to this day.

Just finished season 2 of Blood of Zeus and it’s so much better than the first season, yet simultaneously just as bad. Which is fine for me, I love watching bad media. It can be fun. But I do think the message about forgiveness is very potent, but with that in mind the ending is SO fucking funny.
I think it’s interesting that the show basically stopped caring about morality is a way to convey an inextricable sense of goodness, but rather trying to understand how the morality of the “evil” characters affects themselves, and how often the worst people could be happy if they weren’t in their own way.
