the care given to writing the Kaiju’s impact on the world is incredible. the entire concept of Bone Slums being something that people inhabit, especially those of Reckoner in Hong Kong turning into a black market, Kaiju Blue being massively toxic and damaging to the environment, doomsday cults emerging? it’s also so immersive, which i think a lot of sci-fi movies kinda fail to establish. granted, pacrim had novels to include extra info in, but alien/kaiju movies usually don’t flesh out the world around them besides the immediate destruction in the aftermath of an invasion. idk i just think it’s fun

hi it’s me again!! could i have some general crushing + relationship hcs of hercules w/ a muse! reader? 💕

a/n: YES I CAN

(hercules x reader)

summary: herc crushing on a muse!reader

masterlist

----

first off

he thinks youre so fine

like so so so fine

down bad from the moment he sees you

bro is so stuttery he can't be around you without messing up at least three sentences

he just thinks you are literally a piece of art- which would make sense because "we are the muses, goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes, heroes like Hercules, HUNNY YOU MEAN HUNKULES-"

anyways...

he is subconsciously really flirty

like don't get me wrong he's still like a nervous wreck have of the time

but the more comfortable he gets around you the more the comments/compliments he's spewing

stuff like -

y: Herc can you help me with something real quick

h: anything for you

or like

y: sorry I'm such a mess today

h: you look so pretty what do you mean?

really subtle cheesy shit yknow

he's such a sap always willing to help you when you need it

always wanting to spend time with you

he will complain to phil if he doesn't see you at least every other day

h:Phil I think I'm actually going to die if she doesn't show up in the next hour

p: you literally fight monsters that are a thousand times your size and the fact you haven't seen your lover girl that's it. that's whats gonna take you out?

h:....yes :(

and it gets worse once you guys are together

he let it slip once that he thinks he's in love with you and boom that set it all off

so clingy fr

but also knows boundaries

if you've have a long day and want some time alone he can do that

he'll sulk but only when you're not looking

loves holding you

especially by your waist

just has a thing for having an arm around you like 24/7

he's a sucker for picnic dates and always loves them

he eventually meets the other muses who all see him for the sucker he is and never stop teasing the both of you about it

fr they're gossiping about how he looks at you and is just so so sweet towards you

arguments hardly ever happen

it's usually about him being jealous if anything

he trusts you 110% but when others look at you and talk to his hot shrexy bae it's hard not to be a little jealous

however, that's an easy fix as you just have to consol him that you only have eyes for him

he's such a sucker for smooches

love em

cheek kisses neck kisses forehead kisses- all of them

giving and receiving

also a big cuddler loves just to hold you

he's such a romantic and is so down bad for you fr fr

Hey! It seems a new Heracles novel will be published, called "HERC" (well, it is announced as a Greek Myth Retelling but they had to choose the Roman name LOL) The subtitle is "Hero, Huband, Father, Monster, Villain"... How can you naked Heracles the villain? It's quite ruthless, if we remember that the craziest shit he did (killing his wife & sons) was done because of Hera's magic. What are your feelings about it? I read somewhere that it's being announced as a "Querer Romance" (Heracles' "friend" Hylas and his nephew Iolaus will be included, it seems), but I don't have any hope about the nivel portraying gay relationships in a positive light TBH...

"HERC"?? wHAT in the Anglophone hell made them cut the name like that?? 🤮 (on top of choosing the Roman name for absolutely no reason other than ignorance)

"Anglophones research 15 mins before writing" challenge

oh, and

"westerners stop villainizing every male Greek hero. You're not cool or deep" challenge

In such books the elements of the og myth look sooo thin in this retelling. Usually the worldbuilding is "yeah there was a palace with columns, and it was summer and it was SO HOT, and there was the sea and they were eating olives and praying to zeus like they are protestant Christians".

Not only my hopes are not high for this but the facepalming percent for this will also probably be high. I mean, creativity is good but I challenge you to go to random Greeks on the street and explain this book to them. The facial expressions you're gonna get will be PRICELESS

Another reason why this trend annoys me is that the readers will be like "omg I LOVE Greek myths" and their definition of "LOVE!" is "I'm reading every western absurd fantasy scenario available on the market, and have no idea about how the og culture sees its hero. This book is enough for me and apparently Hercules sucks".

Just...make another book at this point, with ancient magic and queer couples!
