Desperately wanting the Big Three to be a happy & healthy set of three sarcastic & annoying brothers but even my hcs know it can never be true 😭😭😭😭

Like. Hades & Zeus were best friends during the war. Hades was Zeus’s solace as he dealt with various political & social affairs that have to do with being The Leader and Prophecy Child while Zeus was Hades’s solace as being the only one who would Sit Down And Work With Him bc most of the others just dismissed him bc he was in the background a lot or were scared of him bc he has a Resting Bitch/Protective Face. Hades going through the war and ending it thinking that this friendship and partnership would extend to Zeus’s Reign and they would be near-equals or at least Hades would be a good counsel but next think he [Hades] knows, Poseidon, their anger-filled and not-quite-all-there brother, is laughing directly at Zeus’s side & Hades is banished to the deep depths, forced to hold their Father’s and abusers’ key. Poseidon who they can never seem to explain the difference of morals between squashing ants vs humans, Poseidon who enjoys the interest of torture but hates eating bc it ‘feels weird’ in their body, Poseidon who has inhuman amounts of power and stamina but whose help is just as unreliable as the Ocean’s. Poseidon who could have ended the war as soon as it woke up but found a way to wander away each time. Poseidon who they thought was a traitor for a long while. Hades was Zeus’s best friend, but Poseidon who barely anybody seems to know stands at his side? Hades was known throughout the war as many things, the holder of grudges most prevalent of all of them, and that’s going to bite Zeus who once relied on that best of all the most in the butt.

Anyway. Angsty Big Three Hours :(((((

[Tho I absolutely have more if you want :)))). & specifics! /pos]

Nono it's fine. We can fix this. We'll just create an AU where they have a nice and healthy relationship between them. It's fine. We can have fluffy moments between them.

It's fine.

*sobs*

We can have the sarcastic and happy go lucky brothers trio. Of course we can.

#…but yes i would like the angst #angst and fluff go so well together #honestly it's the perfect mix #after all #you can't have a silver lining if everything is bright #and you can't enjoy the darkness if everything is always dark #just both together #but I'm gonna have my fluff even if I have to create every possible AU there is out there #we both know I can't go by without big three fluff #also so very sorry for such a late reply #I completely forgot about this #this month flew by way too fast #greek gods #greek mythology #poseidon #hades #zeus #the big three #neptune <3 #ask

Okay, so the realization is about Zeus but the headcanon itself is about everyone across the godly-generation and/or those who hold that as apart of their title/duties [ie: Titan-Gods, Primordial-Gods, God-Spirits, Spirit-Gods, etc]. It's about how the God Generation was created by the Fates with complete and utter freedoms concerning their powers and free will as opposed to the Titans who are controlled almost entirely by the Fates via their Purpose (pre-defined traits and positions given to each Titan who was born, such as if they would serve a combat role or even how many children they would have + what their children would do] or their respective Primordials for their Powers/Gifts [have not figured out which one they would be called yet]. They were created this way and created in general for Primordial Entertainment, as most Primordials had either become bored or tired of their domains and delegating out their domain's tasks, but it had an unexpected outcome: the concept of rebellion.

You see, Kronos's rebellion against Ouranos was planned. It was one of the main reasons why the generation of Titans came to be, along with the fact that the Primordials grew lazy but still had to perform their tasks as assigned by Primordial Khaos and enforced by Primordial Gaia. It was one of Kronos's main Purposes [to overthrow Primordial Ouranos] but it never helped that Ouranos was a horrible father. Furthermore, Koios, Hyperion, Krios and Iapetus were also Created and Meant to hold down Ouranos and become the four pillars of the earth. Of course, the Primordial Fates did not quite know what they were doing when pairing the Titan Kronos, who had a prophecy over his head stating that his children would kill him the same way he did his father, and the Titan Rhea, who had been dreaming of being a mother since she knew what the word meant, but the Fates went as the tapestries went. They were both dictating it and watching it be dictated. Everything was slowly falling into order as they fell into order, there was no One Thing that dictated all, not even Primordial Khaos.

Anyway, back to what that means. This means that the Titans don't at all have bodily autonomy, which affected almost every single part of their everyday lives. Husbands treat wives horribly, sisters and brothers rough-house meanly, fathers act like drill sergeants, and mothers smiled like nothing was wrong. Some of them knew it was wrong, like Rhea and Phoebe, while others accepted it or just lived in ignorance. There was nothing to be done, anyway, and so further down the family line you went, the more ignorant and accepting the Titans were. Despite all of this, despite all of the things that would spark a country-wide rebellion in the later years of humanity, the Titans did not think of rebellion. They could not think of rebellion. These things and these relationships were ingrained so deep in their being that they knew and could not think of another way. They knew the story of their origins; they knew the story of Kronos, but it was so inconceivably far away that nobody connected the dots.

Until Zeus came along. Eventually, Kronos caved to his Wife and Purpose and he and Rhea had 6 children. Hestia, who was a Titan but with the free-thinking of a God. Demeter, who had the power of a God but still held a Titan's Purpose. Hera, who was so in-tuned with her God-Hood that she could create new concepts and strategies unthought of before and even hold deep emotions such as Hate but had no Powers to think of. Hades who was more Primordial than Titan or God. Poseidon was was so tuned to his Power and the Earth that free-thinking was forced to come along with it. And, finally, Zeus who was perfect and everything the Fates imagined him to be. The Perfect God. The only one across the pantheon who had no other generation's blood or concepts running through his veins. And, since he had the power to think freely and with what will be human judgements, he saw the world and decided to Rebel.

For the first time in millions of years, a movement was brought on by something other than Fate. Many turned him away at first--thinking it preposterous and laughable as a Purpose. Others turned him away because they balked at the fact that any Primordial would allow him such power--Kronos was their ruler now, and a pretty good one. Even Rhea, who just wanted a child who she could raise and knew that this would eventually become her Purpose, was a little hesitant at how quickly he latched onto it and the reasons he gave. Yes, eating children was wrong but it was never her first thought of hate-. Nobody quite thought that this was the sign of a new generation coming around--most thought Zeus, from young to the middle of the Titan War, to be a weird Titan--but, to history and what would become of the gods, this was astronomical. This concept--free will and rebellion--would be the defining point going further into history.

But you know what realization's truly tripping me up about this concept? The fact that, truly, if Kronos decided to raise his children well, there will be no rebellion. Zeus would not rebel anyway because he was destined to or just because he could, because he would have been content with his life. Hera would be spiteful but she would not Hate. The others will embrace their Titan-Family with open arms because they are accepting. Of course, Zeus and Hera would raise their eyebrows at the way their cousins are treating each other and being treated, but that would soon be fixed. It will be written in their Purposes to be fixed :).

When you finally actually realize the Huge Implications of one of your biggest and most defining headcanons-

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

The Greek Mythos Project

Hello everybody, my name is Camila and I am the creator of The Greek Mythos Project. My pronouns are They/Them and I can otherwise be found on Tumblr as @ixhkor-and-ambrosxa. Any and all questions can either be directed here or there and I'd be happy to help any of you :).

So... What Is This Project And Blog About? Well, it's about The Greek Mythos Project. The Greek Mythos Project is a new thing I've created here on Tumblr in order to showcase smaller artists waiting to get out there, feel like their audience is too niche, and to ultimately learn more about Greek Mythology. It originally stemmed from a smaller, more personal project where I intended to 'rewrite' all of mythology in order to learn more about it and to generally get back into writing, but as I thought more about the specifics, I realized how time consuming and burnt-out I would be. That thought lead to another and another... and then I was like: what if I release this idea into the world and allow others to participate in it? Then I'd still be able to learn more about all of it, but I could also meet new writers and see more writing styles. So, here we are, with a blog & all.

What Is The Project's Main Goal? The ultimate main goal of this project is to showcase others' work. I myself--as a writer of lesser-known characters--know how hard it is to get that niche audience or even gain the courage to let loose those 'weird' headcanons so I wanted to provide an easy way to get that. I want to know those niche writers and characters and 'weird' headcanons--one of my general hyperfixations is worldbuilding! So, even if nobody else wants to read it, I want to. I want to know, I want to learn, and I want to be. So, the ultimate goal is getting out there, but there are some lesser and more personal goals such as networking, learning to work with wider and more diverse audiences (knowledge, headcanons, and otherwise), and having something bigger than myself to work on so I don't end up spiraling. It lets me know, as someone who struggles with mental health, that there's always going to be something to fall back on, such as this project :).

What Is This Project Exactly? The Greek Mythos Project will hopefully be a long AO3/Wattpad fic made up of the POVs and Stories of various characters in Greek Mythology. The end project will hopefully be arranged in chronological order and include as many stories and versions of the stories as they can. The possibilities and submissions can be endless but the only restriction this project asks for is that it keeps to one POV only. I ask this because this is the vision I am hoping to pursue but there will be a companion-fic set that you can submit to if you want a Multiple POV submission. Each chapter that we post will include your socials, how to find you, how to find your other works, the submission-fic notes, personal notes on the fic, and anything else you or we decide is best to put. Of course, you can opt out of any and all of this and I can just put anonymous <3. This project is essentially a mass Character Study/Introspection, if you'd like it in more simple and fandom-based terms :).

What Are The Project's Requirements? Other than having only one POV... there aren't really any. Of course, there's a level of trust and respect required on both sides once we all start working with each other, but that's just the basics. The word count can be anything, Spicy & More Graphic scenes can be taken once we have a coordinator for that and/or get further into it, and hopefully we'll have editors and beta-ers if you, as a writer, want or require them. If anything, I can help edit and work with you. This is a pretty formless job; it can be writing, it can be art, it can be mood boards, it can be collabs. As long as everything's communicated effectively, nothing should be a problem.

How Do I Submit? Currently, the best way to submit things is through the Ask Box on this page. I'll also be opening up the submissions tab/thing but I have zero experience on my part with it so the safest bet's through the ask box. Same thing with private posts, they don't always work so, when in doubt, go to the ask box :). Feel free, whenever you submit via the ask box, to put a little line at the bottom or top with your information, any notes, etc for me to put in when I eventually post this. Also, please check in on this blog every once in a while in case we need to ask to clarify something <3.

Can I Participate Even Without Socials? Yes, you absolutely can! Our ask box will always have an anonymous option and even if you have something or another and just want this to be separate, feel free to tell us you want to be anonymous! I and those who I may be working with will completely get and respect your privacy! /pos /gen

What Is The Project's Deadline? As of now, there isn't one. This project is supposed to be long term, which means it should still be going five or so years from now (depending on how the world's going at that time, at least) and so there is no deadline going on for the submissions-end. On my end, I plan to start picking it up and publishing around Late-August or July because I hope by that point, we'll have some submissions or at least be working a lot more on this as it picks up and also I know this month is really stressful for a lot of people with final projects, exams, etc and getting ready for Summer so hopefully that'll be a decent amount of time to really get things going.

Can I Help Out? Yes, you absolutely may! I'd love some editors to help back me up on things, beta-ers, Spicy-Scene coordinators (because that's just not my editing cup of tea) and other people that's going to be crucial to bringing this to light. Again, this project is based on community and I love people so feel free to reach out so we can work together to see what's the right fit, aka schedules, genres, etc! I might even create a discord server if we get large enough!

Any Other Comments? Feel free to ask questions. This and my main account are always free to pop in if you'd like, just know that it might take me a while to get back to you... it's a bad habit :(. Also, fandom-based characters and chapters are completely on the table! I personally find it much easier to write in a fandom-based setting so if that's your jam, feel free and make sure to tell us where you're comin' from so we showcase it! At some point, too, I'd love to make a little 'spreadsheet' thing on here to show who's working on who to maybe get people out of their shell or introduce others or maybe even collab on stuff!

Anyway, I think that should all be it :). Feel free to ask questions, interact with us, or even share the #The Greek Mythos Project on other platforms if you'd like or with friends! Also keep up with us on the same tag for updates, questions, or even maybe prompts/challenges if ya'll would like :). See you at some point and have fun!

^!!!!!!!

Hey #GreekMythology tumblr, I want ya’lls help on something :).

So, I’ve been thinking about starting this massive project. Like, would take years and years work of writing and research and sheerly finding the time and motivation for. And as I was thinking about the specifics, I thought: why not bring others into it as well? Because as much as I am interested in a lot of Greek Mythology, there are things that are simply not my interests and might cause writers block and my goal for the project would to be as fun as possible. So, here we are.

What is the project exactly? Well, hopefully, it’ll be a long Ao3 series/fic focusing on the individual perspectives of various figures/events in Greek Mythology arranged in (semi/good enough) chronological order. I personally intend to write for Poseidon in his/my version of the Titanomachy and (maybe) some events that follow, if you want a little bit of an idea on what I’m talking about.

The limits on this are almost completely free, all that I ask are that each of your submissions are one POV only (and by that I mean your main subject’s POV). Why do I say this? I say this because that is what I want this project to look like. It doesn’t matter if it’s First, Second, or Third POV along with all the other variants of those three, my main focus is on the individual experiences of these individuals. Kind of like character studies, if you know what I mean. I’m intending for it to be mostly formal but I will absolutely accept crack admissions that I will probably put into its own series to Separate the Vibes for whoever comes by :).

Ultimately, this is a completely open-ended project that has absolutely no deadline. I’m about to go to bed so I can’t go into too much detail, but if you want to DM me or send any asks, I am completely okay with that and we’ll all flesh out the specifics we go :).

What is my overall purpose? Not only is this project made for my own individual purposes of learning more about the gods and other Greek Mythology writers, but it’s also the chance to spread the word of other writers. I know how hard it is to get specific audiences, especially when you’re shy, so this is a chance for your work to be stumbled upon. Each post on the eventual Ao3 fic will include your socials, how to find you, and your other general works on either ao3, tumblr, wattpad, or other :)

Can you participate even without socials or a tumblr page? Yes you absolutely can :). My asks will always be open to anons and I will do my best to give credit when I eventually post everything :). If you want to post multiple submissions or simply just want a trackable (between works) name to your writing, just sign something at the end. It could be a name, it could be a potential username, I don’t mind at all :)).

How do I submit things? Well, the best way would be to DM me :). I have a personal writing email separate from most things that would be perfect to either share a google docs with or to just send a copy-and-pasted copy of it. Otherwise, I take asks. None of them will be posted unless asked or we’re ready to so it’ll be safe to just drop them off in! It’s also where I take questions :).

Any other things to note? I’d really appreciate some other moderators and editors :). There’d only be like two or three of each and we’d have to know each other decently well before officially starting, but some help would be appreciated! Also, I’d like to keep a working ‘spreadsheet’ of who’s working on what just for people to see what’s going on :). Maybe some people can collaborate or it’ll encourage those niche writers to write :). A third thing is that most questionable stuff is accepted. I’d personally rather not handle all those things other than posting it so it might be a while until I can officially accept (consensual and/or graphic) ✨spicy stuff✨ but, other than that, I’ll take any of it (also, it’s Greek Mythology, almost all of it already happened). If someone’s willing to take over the ✨spicy stuff✨ then please DM me so we can work out the details and see if it’s a nice fit :)

Honestly, that all should be it. The main point is that I’m trying to start up a long-term project on Tumblr and Ao3 about what is essentially Greek Mythology character studies that not only allows for mass communication across a wide audience, but also (hopefully) gets some recognition for the smaller writers :). Feel free to DM me or send me asks with questions but for now, I shall sleep

Before I had a Tumblr account there was this Greek mythology blog I really liked called @dontwannadothisanymore but now they're deactivated :/

This really sucks because I really wanna see their posts again (and there were two that I really really really need to see again). But if nobody reblogged then those posts are gone... forever. I have faith that people reblogged, though, I just need to find them.

If anyone has ANY post from them that they reblogged, please tell me!! Genuinely I will be so thankful.

Here are the two post I'm looking for:

One is an Athena Complex big 4 (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades) headcanons post. I think it was about them feeling/using their power for the first time. The only thing a recall concretely is Hades being oblivious af (and something to do with Cerberus). There was a panel of the character before each set of headcanons.

The other is a Hades & Poseidon & Zeus fic, and actually if I dig through my very numerous ChatGPT prompts I might find it (sorry, I think I fed the fic to AI because I loved the style so much, maybe I shouldn't have done that but if I do find it that way then I sure won't regret it) but I might not (it will also take a helluva long time 'cause I didn't name any of them) . Uhh it's kinda hard to explain the premise but what I remember is: Hades spits out bad coffee (on the stairs?) and goes to the kitchen (and sets the cup in the sink?) and lies down on the floor. I don't remember what Poseidon was doing but he also joins Hades on the floor. Zeus gets up to use the bathroom and calls out to his brothers if they're in there just in case, and Poseidon answers that they're in the kitchen on the floor and Zeus ends up joining them too. Yeah. At some point either Zeus or Poseidon narrowly avoids stepping on Hades's coffee-spit.

I loved *all* of their Greek mythology headcanons though, literally if you can find a single one please tell me.

I did a google search and found some of their not Greek mythology posts, and a couple of Gm headcanon posts which I will reblog (but on a seperate blog probably).

(I'm too scared to reach out to the bigger blogs they interacted with; some of them are restricted anyways.)

Yeah. Thank you (if you read this far lol).

And sorry for the tags...

#yeah I've got a few #i think it's in the 2021-2022 time frame

REBLOG IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR AROMANTIC PEOPLE AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE VALID

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it

Okay but like. Poseidon with a rope dart (he weapon <3)

…Yes<3

It's always on him, hidden, until he just pulls it out of nowhere.

The amount of people that have been injured (either accidentally or on purpose) is too high to count, and the number of times it had been confiscated is even higher, but somehow Poseidon always manages to get it back. No one knows how, they just do.

Everyone has just about given up trying to take the rope dart away - Poseidon is a menace enough on his own, an extra weapon isn't needed. And even when someone managed to finally take it away and destroy it, Poseidon just showed up with another one the very next hour (he has a collection)
