Nothing will be as funny as the utter confusion in Ares, Annabeth, and Grover’s faces when Percy challenged Ares to single combat

So my autistic ass was OBSESSED with The Titanic as a kid and one thing I keep thinking about with this whole lost submarine incident is the “name curse”.

White Star Line, the company that produced the Titanic, made three Olympic class ocean liners: The Olympic, The Titanic, and The Britannic.

(Seen in order top to bottom. Picture stolen from reddit. X )

The Olympic is the only of those three that did not sink.

Now, the “name curse” that comes in to play here is related to greek mytholoical races from which each ship has supposedly taken its name: The Olympic Gods (also just called Olympians), The Titans, and The Giants. The giants are involved due to a claim that The Britannic was originally called The Gigantic, based on an unofficial poster featuring the ship with the supposed name above it, as well as a contemporary newspaper stating that the company announced a ship with said name three years before The Britannic was launched.

Both The Giants and The Titans were races that were vanquished by The Olympic Gods in what are called the Titanomachy and Gigantomachy, with the latter event being less well know.

Another race of gigantic beings seen in greek mythology is The Cyclopes. The Cyclops were never vanquished by The Olympic Gods as they were never at odds with the gods, even crafting artifacts for the gods themselves, namely: Zeus’s thunderbolts, Poseidon’s trident, and Hades’s helmet of invisibility.

The submarine that went missing is part of the Cyclops class submarine line produced by OceanGate Inc., probably called such due to the design. Two vessels of the class have been produced with two more planned following a naming scheme of Cyclops I, Cyclops II, and so on. Cyclops II however was renamed to Titan specifically for its use in touristic viewing expeditions of The Titanic.

Now, more about the submarine itself;

Cyclops I performed well for its intended depth, Titan however has not, with OceanGate having lost track of it before. This is due to the vessel lacking a tracking beacon, as well as navigation controls and communication devices, relying on a support ship to text Titan’s captain its directions, as revealed by Journalist David Progue, who also said that they “turned off the ship’s internet to prevent tweeting.” Also, due to the lack of these features, Titan was denied official certification by ship classification societies for not meeting safety standards of ANY society. Problems started long before this, though.

During the testing of Titan’s design, OceanGate claimed that the dimensions and structure were partly designed and tested by NASA, Boeing (the plane company) and The University of Washington. All three of which have denied this. In fact, when Titan was first built, it was handed over to the company’s operations department with no testing whatsoever as well as an insufficient monitoring system. The Director of Operations, however, saw this and submitted a negative quality report, for which he was promptly fired. When they DID finally test it over a year later, the vessel resurfaced with signs of cyclic fatigue, which is the near microscopic bending of metal that happens before cracks appear. Instead of changing the design to prevent this from happening in future expeditions, the company simply replaced the damaged parts and called it good.

All in all, its just so funny to me that OceanGate used the same supposedly cursed naming pattern for its ONE safety violation riddled submarine only to send it to a lethal depth its not equipped to handle AND SOMEHOW not expect it to eventually crush like a soda can under a semi.

Random Interviewer: So, Percy. Out of all the Olympians, which one scares you the most?

Percy:

Percy: ... this is a trap, isn't it? I name a god, and the rest get offended and kill me?

Random Interviewer: No, not at all! Though I can see why you'd think that. Here's a promise on the Styx for no retribution or revenge.

Percy: Huh. They must've been really interested to sign that. Alright, here it is; Aphrodite scares me the most.

The gods: *stunned into silence*

The gods: HER!?!?

Aphrodite: Finally, someone understands the power of love! Even some of my own children don't get it.

Hermes: I would've thought it would be Zeus? I know the number of times he calls for a vote to kill you bothers you.

Percy: It does, but Zeus has wanted me dead since he learned of my existence but its been five years and I'm still alive. My dad has been pretty successful at stopping him, so he's number three.

Poseidon: :)

Percy: :)

Hermes: Who's number two? Ares? Hades?

Percy: *snorts* no. Ares angers me. Hades...

Percy: *remembers how 12 year old Percy thought Hades looked powerful, graceful and mesmerizing*

Percy: The less said about him, the better. Athena's number two.

Athena: Number two to her!?!?!

Athena: *looks at Aphrodite in disgust*

Aphrodite: Hey!

Athena: Explain yourself, Jackson.

Percy: Anyone can make strategies, get knowledge or become wise. Not nearly as much as you, ofc, but those traits are common among mortals and immortals. Like I did with Typhon.

Hermes: *knows that it's a sore spot for Athena that it was Percy's plan that got rid of Typhon and not hers*

Hermes: BURN!! Want some ice for that?

Athena: *glowers with rage*

Percy: You can fight strategy with cunning and tricks and working outside the box.

Percy: But love? It's almost impossible to go against love. Love is the biggest motivator for doing anything. Have you guys ever tried to fight love? Have you ever tried not to love someone? My dad and Zeus's myths are full of them falling for... well. Almost everyone.

Percy: Have you ever tried to fight someone you really love? Even if you win, it tears you up inside and takes years to recover if you ever do recover.

Percy: Anyway that's why Aphrodite scares me the most.

The gods: *stunned speechless*

Poseidon: ... I feel like I should be offended? But he's right? Me and Zeus broke oaths on the Styx for love.

Aphrodite: *smug*

Percy:

Percy: While we're on this topic-

Percy: Please stop messing with my love life. First Annabeth, then Rachel, then Calypso and now Nico?? Next thing I know Grover will have a crush on me.

Aphrodite: If you want, that could be arranged-

Percy, crying: NO!

Hermes: I miss my kids :(

Apollo: then go visit them? Tf?

Hermes: don't feel like it :/

Apollo: fuck you mean you "don't feel like it"?

Hermes: just cause I miss someone or something doesn't mean I have to feel like seeing them.

Apollo:

Apollo: Hermes. They are literally your kids.

Hermes: so?

Apollo, exasperated: I'm gonna go visit your kids. Gods know they need it.

Here’s a more accurate representation of this year’s solar Eclipse! Artemis and Apollo are (hopefully) getting along well enough.

One of things that really turned me off of the pjo world among lots of other things was that all the titans and primordials were portrayed as purely evil with no nuance or variety in morality. In the books, even Iapetus, who is labelled a "good" titan, was pretty much brainwashed into being benevolent.

Nyx was such a loving and devoted mother in mythology that she scared off Zeus when he tried to harm her son Hypnos. Prometheus went through excruciating pain on a daily basis just for humanity to have light and heat. Leto was described as kind and gentle and was the titan goddess of motherhood. Phoebe gave Apollo, her grandson, the oracle of Delphi as a gift. Oceanus, in some myths, helped Zeus overthrow Kronos by giving him a potion that would induce vomiting and release his siblings and he and Tethys pretty much raised Hera during the titanomachy. Helios was a loving father to Circe and all his kids and even saved her when a giant attacked her island. Etc, etc.

OK BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GODS VALUING THEIR PRIDE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE.

I MEAN ATHENA LET ECHIDNA INTO HER SANCTUARY TO PUNISH ANNABETH FOR WOUNDING HER PRIDE.

AND ZEUS DECLARED WAR BECAUSE THE BOLT WAS STOLEN AND HIS PRIDE WAS ATTACKED.

BUT POSEIDON SURRENDERS TO ZEUS, SACRIFICES HIS PRIDE, TO SAVE PERCY.

JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE

To everyone who liked my Greek gods, big news: I HAVE MORE.

Finally found the time to work on the rest of the Olympians (aka Hephaestus, Demeter and Hestia), plus a bonus Hades and Persephone! I'm grouping them all up in one post, that's a whole 16 characters done WHOO.

Thanks to everyone who was so supportive on my first lineup! This was a very fun project and now I'll be able to fanart SO MUCH mythology stuff.

Apollo+Artemis having godly twintuition and hating it. Every time they draw and loose their arrows in perfect unison it ends in a “STOP COPYING ME” “IM NOT” fight

I had the weirdest and silly idea and I was a bit worried if I should share, but this is Tumblr so....

You know when some mothers playful say to their babies 'oh! You are so cute! I could just eat you!' and stuff like this?

Imagine if one of the original Olympians (Kronos's kids)'s lover said it?

The Olympian in question:

Probally Maria since they had a second kid, so they have a longer relationship and most likely interacted with the kids as babies/toddlers

Maria: I wasn't serious, Hades! It was just baby-talk!

Hades, holding little Nico after snatching him off her arms: WHO JOKES ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING?

The second generation of Olympians are either closer to Hades or Poseidon in terms of domains (and myths). Let me explain.

Athena: Athena's closer to Poseidon. For all the grudges she seems to have against him, she was raised in his domain. It was in his domain that she found and lost her best friend, Pallas. For every argument they ever had, they fought on the same side in the Trojan War. They also share a number of epithets, mainly about horses. (Hippia, Hippios, etc). She's often like the sea in the myths she appears in, unpredictable and unforgiving. Sometimes, she aids, other times, she destroys those whose hubris gets the better of them.

Ares: Hades. Not just for the obvious "war kills a lot of people" reason, but because out of all of their siblings, Ares and Hades are the most villianized for their domains. Ares is constantly pushed to the side, hated on, revered in fear, the least liked out of his siblings, as is Hades, even though in reality they're pretty chill. (Ares is the ONLY male Olympian who hasn't raped anyone).

Hephaestus: Poseidon. Like Athena, he was raised under the sea by Thetis. He's the god of volcanoes, which are explosive and disruptive, just like the sea can be, but also dormant and peaceful, just like the sea.

Apollo: heres where it gets tricky, because Apollo is chaotic and everywhere all at once. In terms of friendship, he's definitely closer with Poseidon, having been sent down as a mortal in punishment with him. He even refused to fight Poseidon during the Trojan War when everyone else was whooping each other's asses. Apollo's rebellious, just like the sea. But Apollo is also associated with funerals and burials, being the god that protects the souls of the dead until Hermes takes them to the underworld, and also he's noted for causing sudden death, of children mostly. So there's definitely a darker, more Hades-like side to Apollo. In the myths, he's closer to Poseidon. In domains? Hades.

Artemis: Hades. Aside from the fact that she went through an emo phase during her Diana era, and got associated with a bunch of witchy underworld goddesses, most of her myths include murder. Like Apollo, she's credited for sudden deaths. Girl could care less lol.

Hermes: Hades. Hermes is the guide of the dead, enough said. He really has no connection with Poseidon. He's one of the few even allowed in Hades' domain. He's the boundary between life and death. Ancient Greeks put him on their gravestones.

Dionysus: Hades. He's equated with the Egyptian god Osiris (which, okay, crazy). he's also been directly said to be the same god as Hades. He'sa a god associated with rebirths, "twice born". Sometimes, he's a son of Hades. In Orphic myths, he's Zagreus. He's just so chthonic, you can't help but not associate him with Hades.

Me a few days ago: “isn’t it interesting that the main ‘villains’ of greek mythology retellings tend to be Apollo, Zeus, Hera, Ares, and Hades? I wonder why Hermes or Dionysus is never the villain.”

Because if Hermes or Dionysus was ever the villain, the main protagonist would be guaranteed not to survive. In fact it would be so incredibly boring because the main protagonist would die in the middle of the first paragraph.
