Y’all act like marriage means something to any of these gods besides Hera.
STOP MORALIZING FICTIONAL ROMANCES
Love STORIES (the good ones that are retold for centuries) are captivating because they are dramatic! They are also fictional!
God if it was up to morality police on here we’d have no Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, Tristan and Isolde, Rochester and Jane Eyre, Cathy and Heathcliff. Darcy and Elizabeth. Anna Karenina and Vronsky. Jamie and Claire. Allie and Noah.
You want morality go watch a documentary.
Paul is the solid guy you marry because he’s stable.
He’s not the head over heels. Makes you feel alive. Break a sacred oath. Put your life at risk. Can’t breathe without you. Stand in the middle of a thunderstorm. Stop the tides kind of love of your life.
Just like he wasn’t the love of Sally Jackson’s. He’s a good dude who she loves but it’s never gonna be what she had with Poseidon and that’s ok.
Don’t put down Poseidon and Sally’s love because it offends your puritanical beliefs.
"sally and poseidon that," "sally and poseidon this" uhm, no. poseidon had multiple affairs over the years and cheated on his wife.. We need paul appreciation dude literally went along with Sally and Percy believing gods when he didn't.

I wish that they would do a version of PJO, that just focuses on the gods. Like Succession meets Game of Thrones meets American Gods.
Let’s really delve into why Zeus is such as fucking dick. He was the only one of his brothers that didn’t get eaten he should be the most well adjusted.
Seriously, tell the story of Kronos and Rhea and Gaia and Uranus and how all this generational trauma started.
How Zeus is really just like his father and it’s the reason that he’s so paranoid he’s gonna be overthrown.
How Hades is actually the eldest boy and gets treated like fucking Connor Roy.
How Poseidon is actually the most powerful god and it’s why Zeus fears and is jealous of him. Also how his myths most always involve him being kind and giving until he perceives to be rejected or abandoned. Real water sign energy.
Hera is the biggest pick me trad!wife of all time. Goddess of marriage. Her husband seems to stick his dick everywhere but in her.
Hestia is basically a nun she was so fucked up by her parents
Demeter has an unnatural attachment to her own daughter bordering on obsession and anxious attachment style.
And that’s just the children of the Titans.
Ares
Aphrodite
Hephaestus
Athena
Dionysus
Apollo
Artemis
God there are literally seasons of drama and good character dynamic driven work to be made here. Hbo, Starz. Hulu what are you waiting for?

Now feels like a good time to come out as a Paul Blofis hater.
If that man has one hater in this world it’s me, if he has no haters I’m dead.
Poseidon x Sally forever!

This is wrong he claimed direct descent through Edmund of Langley through his paternal line. He was also related to Lionel through his fathers mother the Mortimer. Also Cecily hiswife was related to John of Gaunt.
Edward IV was of royal lineage thrice over.
Henry had a very weak claim which is why he married Edwards daughter and stated he’d claimed the throne by conquest and not by blood.
The Tudors are lame, wannabe Plantagenets.
I find it so weird when people talk about Henry VII’s ‘dollop of royal blood’ as if royal blood really was something that was scientifically measured before someone could declare their claim to the English throne. For example, Rosemary Horrox (who I admire greatly as a historian btw) once said:
That a young man with no claim to the throne – beyond being the grandson of Henry V’s widow and the son of a great-great-granddaughter of Edward III – could in 1485 amass enough support to overthrow the reigning king can be seen as just the final stage in the cascade of depositions which followed that of Henry VI in 1461.
The thing is, when Richard of York presented his claim to the English throne in 1460 he was exactly what Henry Tudor was in 1485: the son of a great-great-granddaughter of Edward III, and many people today think he had a valid claim. You could go on and on about the Beauforts being legitimised sufficiently or not, but to measure the exact quantity of royal blood compared to other contestants is just pointless. For comparison:
Edward III → Lionel of Antwerp (son) → Philippa Plantagenet (granddaughter) → Roger Mortimer (great-grandson) → Anne Mortimer (great-great-granddaughter) → Richard of York (‘the son of a great-great-granddaughter of Edward III’) → Edward IV and Richard III (the grandsons of a great-great-granddaughter of Edward III etc)
Edward III → John of Gaunt (son) → John Beaufort (grandson) → John Beaufort (great-grandson) → Margaret Beaufort (great-great-granddaughter) → Henry Tudor (‘the son of a great-great-granddaughter of Edward III’)

Which sucks because the Plantagenets are by far the more entertaining.

“I love the fact despite being the longest reigning dynasty people barely know anything about the Plantagenets. Meanwhile the Tudors only lasted for 5 rulers yet they’re the most famous Royal family in British history.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Marius was such a little shit for this because we all know he fucking hated that guy. He wanted him dead and out of the way so he could have his beloved Pandora back.
Tumblr media
A particularly horrible Marius x Pandora moment (and a terrible moment for Marius’ character in general) from “Blood Communion,” in which Marius essentially blames Pandora for him burning her lover Arjun alive in her presence. No shit.
Granted, Marius did so in so in self-defense while preventing Arjun from taking Pandora away from Court against her will. However, in the eyes of Marius, he has broken the laws that he himself wrote forbidding the murder of other vampires–especially because he admits he was capable of simply restraining Arjun without killing him.
Having to admit to an “un-Roman” lack of self-control and moderation is already nightmarish enough to Marius. Having to do so in a trial attended by Lestat and some of the world’s oldest and most respected vampires really fucks him up on a fundamental level. During the trial, Lestat describes him as being disheveled and hostile, particularly to an already traumatized and grieving Pandora.
According to Marius, Pandora should have stood up to Arjun and refused to leave the Court, relieving Marius of any need to intervene and ultimately kill him. Pandora makes several attempts to thank and apologize to Marius, but he treats her like complete shit every time. Hence this quote:
“Arjun tormented me for centuries. And you have rid me of him and I am thankful. I didn’t want for him to die, no, I didn’t want anything for him that was bad, but I longed with all my soul to be free of him.”
“But you couldn’t do anything about it yourself, could you?” Marius blazed. He was glaring at her across the table. “You couldn’t stand up to him yourself. No, and so I had to do it, I had to stand against him and his brutal assumptions and cover my hands in blood when the survival of our tribe is now the only thing under Heaven I care about!”
He brought his right fist down on the table.

The first generation of Plantagenets is begging for it.
Henry Eleanor
Every single one of their children
There’s at least three seasons of material there.
succession ending and hotd probably operating on a 18 mo-2y turnaround between seasons…hbo really needs to invest in a good multi-season historical drama based around squabbling families
