#so was aphrodite

[genericpuff]

Fertility goddesses were worshipped as early as the Minoan civilization just about birth... there's NO EVEN ONE MENTION of this being a crucial point in any mythology

Like why is Rachel so keen to use it in her plot as something other that the natural progress of life??

I'm pretty dead set on the belief that she literally took the fertility god status away from every single god and goddess who had it so she could turn her self-insert power fantasy into the Avatar (`ー´)

The funny thing about the PJO cabin system is that everyone's always all 'oh the twelve' this and 'the twelve' that but that's absolutely not even remotely accurate. To start, right off the bat it's thirteen, not twelve, because they don't count Hades. But not really because before Percy, there were no big three kids, so we're down to ten active cabins already but it's actually eight because Artemis and Hera don't make demigods.

And of those eight, Mr. D is stuck at camp (thus not really making new demigods all that often) and his only two kids don't even sleep in a cabin, they sleep in the Big House with him.

So, pre-Percy, there are seven active cabins at Camp Half-Blood:

Glee club, the Jocks, the Nerds, the Geeks, the Farmers, the 'Sketchy Kids' and the Popular Kids.

Or, in other words, the Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Demeter, Hermes (and the unclaimed kids) and Aphrodite cabins.

What's cool is that you can already see the cabin dynamics in the show. For example, the Athena cabin allies with the Hermes cabin for the numbers. The Hermes kids plus all the unclaimed kids? It's the biggest cabin in the camp by far. It's a battle strategy. Luke and Annabeth's close relationship is just the cherry on top for Annabeth. It'll be really cool to see how the show develops the differences in the cabins during the series.

#pjo tv show #pjo series #if i remember correctly it's the Hermes cabin then Ares and Apollo in terms of numbers. Aphrodite would probably be next. #but the Athena Hephaestus and Demeter cabins were always under twelve kids. #they state exact numbers in one book... and if you don't want spoilers turn back now #but after the war theres only three Hephaestus kids left so like.... the numbers go real fucking low #the entire camp population plummeta #iactually really fucking depressing watching this camp filled with small tiny children knowing that only a very small fraction of themlive

I like how in the first game, Aphrodite is like 'Mm Charon? Oh, cool, yeah, you bought my boon from the boatman and his nasty trash :/ As least he's a greedy weirdo, otherwise I couldn't make head or tails of him.'

And now she's all 'oh Charon! I love him. He's so tall and strong. Of course who wouldn't fantasize about him coming to your aid~'

I like to believe that this is because, as the goddess of love, she couldn't figure out a damn thing about Charon since he's in the underworld, and, canonically, the Olympians can't feel what's going on down there. But then she saw Hermes slobbering all over him at the post-game party, and after god knows how long with Charon and Hermes being topside and pining completely platonically over each other due to their separation, she's realized Charon is a prime cut of grade A Beef as she should have centuries ago.

I'm very proud of her.

#hades game #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #charon hades #aphrodite hades #charmes #im blaming hermes for aphrodite being on the skull man lovers train #i think it would also be funny if shes playing it up more to make hermes mad #because i feel like she would find making the guy she slept with worried she's going to steal the guy he wants to sleep with funny #the actual reason might be that supergiant didnt realize how big of a fan favorite charon would be #so now they are course correcting with the goddess of love #but shhhh i want the charmes explanation. i was that to be valid. its funny to me

how much greek mythology do you know?

#ichiruki #kurosaki ichigo #kuchiki rukia #artist life #bleach art life #bleach fanart #irmonth2023 #I've always thought The Judgement of Paris and the subsequent Trojan War was very. Bleach #Hera promised prestige and wealth (being a quincy means ichigo gets a prestigious heritage and position) #Athena promised victory and battle power (being an arrancar gives ichigo destructive battle prowess) #Aphrodite promised the love of the most beautiful woman in the world (being a shinigami means ichigo gets to be with Rukia) #(Ichigo)(Paris) Made A Choice (shinigami)(Aphrodite) #except (Rukia)(Helen) was already married to someone else! with a daughter! #So them falling in love caused Problems (the entire clusterfuck that is Bleach)(The Trojan War) #yeah this little comparison has been on my mind for years #there u have it

i know it's a while off, but ...

i wonder how they're going to do aphrodite in the show. like, her appearance is CONSTANTLY changing, right?? because she looks like each person's ideal beauty, basically.

so i wonder how they're going to make her face and hair and everything shift and change all the time.

because one second, to percy, she looks like annabeth. the next, like someone else.

i wonder how they're going to edit that and have it transition between each "look" that percy sees her as.

will it flicker between shots and she'll "change" between each one?? or will the shot move to percy's face and then back and she'll look like annabeth and then someone else???

#i cant stop thinking about it #like HOW #hopefully this made sense #manifesting a pjo season 3 with this one 🤞🤞 #aphrodite's constantly changing looks is smth thats so cool #i really hope they add it #like if they dont i'll be so disappointed #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #percy jackson tv series #pjo series #pjo #pjo fandom #percabeth #annabeth chase #pjo spoilers #aphrodite

Here's my Eros and Psyche, Ghost/Goddess!reader(love), pitch

Ghost has never been good at love, has always loved too fiercely, too violently. He's never been able to separate love from war, when he found his family slaughtered he understood that true violence comes from heartbreak, from affection, from having nothing to lose. Of course he'd catch the attention of the goddess of love, passion, and vengeful warfare.

Ghost had nothing, he has no one. He wakes up in a soft bed with downy pillows and luxurious furs. He feels out of place, dirty with sweat and blood, still wearing the leather of war. Is he dead? It doesn't look like elysium is supposed to.

He pulls back the gauzy silk netting over the bed and cautiously, curiously, investigates. He finds the note immediately. Instructions. He has free reign of the house, as long as he doesn't leave, and as long as he's understanding. Understanding of what he doesn't know, but it's dark by the time he's through investigating the house. Then all the torches go put, the whole place plunged into darkness.

And somehow it doesn't scare him. He doesn't jump when your arms circle his shoulders and you lean against his back, pressing your lips to his ear. "Welcome home Simon," you whisper to him. He reaches back, runs his hand up the soft skin of your thigh, the house may not be elysium but you certainly feel like you might be.

"You know my name," he frowns, and you hum. The sound is so melodic, coaxing him to relax as your fingers squeeze his chest.

"I know," you purr, "everything about you."

Ghost turns in your hold, he doesn't know why he's surprised you let him, doesn't know why he's surprised he can't see you in the darkness. He reaches carefully to find your face, cupping your cheek, then sliding his fingers down to hold your throat. "Who are you?" He warns.

"Your love," you push into his hold, "as long as you can follow the rules."

…ok so did the gamers (derogatory) just not know about Hades at all before now??

“Won’t be playing hades 2 it’s gone woke and lgbtq” girl you never even played the first one! Where have you been??

Like: “Bisexuals had their turn now it’s bisexuals turn” was a whole thing!! Were you asleep or something?

#it’s so odd #like I thought we all knew it’s a gay as fuck game #I see incels complaining about the character designs of hades 2 far too much for my liking #probably will have to mute things on certain platforms for my peace of mind #hades #hades 2 #and the whole thing with aphrodites design #she was there in the first game too #so like #??
