Greek Mythology, Dorm AU

Hera & Zeus: Zeus is studying Politics, Hera is studying Psychology, particularly Child and Marriage Counselling. They went to high-school together and they were the classic ‘it’ couple. Zeus was the quarterback and Hera was the Student Representative and the head of every club and comity. In high school Zeus was player until he accidentally got a girl pregnant. It took him 2 extra years to get himself together but he convinced Hera to try one last time after what everyone calls the “10 Things I Hate About You Remake”. Since then, Zeus is happily faithful (after a few therapy sessions) although he is still a ridiculous flirt and Hera tries to control her trust and control issues. But they are also the couple that get shit done and tries to take care of everyone, one time the electricity was cut to the dorm, within 5mins Zeus and Hera were knocking on doors anding handed out a stash of candles and torches (”You guys should make a emergency box, here, have a list of everything you should have in the box).

Poseidon: Studying Marine Biology but considers himself an professional surfer. Technically, he’s Zeus’ cousin but they call each other bro so everyone assumes their brothers. He’s always travelling, hardly ever at the dorm but when he does, he’s introducing random people (”Hey guys, this is Yvette, she’s a Swedish farm girl but she says she wants to learn ballet” or “Oh this is Jason, he’s a MMA champion, we’re having a party, you’re more than willing to join, it to celebrate something about winning a belt or something…”). He also has the best stories, (”Yeah of course, I’ve been to Uluru, but I didn’t climb it cause I was talking to the tribe nearby and… or “Dude. I can’t go to Vermont they banned me after the Pineapple Incident…”). 

Hades: Studying Dead Languages and Ancient History, Hades is the youngest resident in the dorm, barely 18 because he graduated early from high school. Hades was going to take a year off to decide what he wanted to do but his  father forced him to start Uni at the same time as his brother, Zeus. Even while learning his 4th language, and about the Xia Dynasty he isn’t sure what he wants to do. He has found he likes teaching, something he discovered while teaching Dementer’s daughter Seph the Latin names of her plants. This lead to them spending afternoon trading their languages back and forth, Seph’s language of plants and trees and how they grow and eat and Hades’ languages where he brings the dead (languages) back to life. On these afternoons Demeter affectionally claims Hades “steals’ Seph away.

Demeter: Studying Business, Demeter was a teen-single mum nocked up by her high school “boyfriend”. In the end both her and the father agreed he didn’t need to be in Seph’s life. But now that her daughter is in high-school, Demeter finally wants to open up her own flower shop and horticulture class but she wants to do it right. Her daughter stays with Demeter’s best-friend Hestia because the University is so far from the High School. Seph helps her mom study and on weekends she comes to the dorm and helps in the garden Demeter nurtured out back (The Uni was originally against it but after a Demeter’s powerpoint presentation they were on board).

Athena: Studying Education, Athena wants to become a school principal preferably of a Learning Difficulties School. Athena has Dyslexia and ADD but after years of work, she is quiet proud to the level of control she has and she wants to have the chance to share that with other people. She is also a seriously into Martial Arts, because its a great way to direct her energy from ADD, right now she’s doing Judo and she finally managed to do a Hane Goshi throw (when he asked, Athena showed Hermes exactly what a Hane Goshi throw was). Athena is also a heavy gamer, she really likes Battle Force 3, COD and League of Legends although she is usually team leader.

Apollo: Studying Classical Music, Apollo studies part-time along with belonging to a Ballet Academy. Famously known as ‘The Sun” after a particularly amazing show where he wore a shining costume. He shares a room with his twin Artemis, because he is only at the dorm half the year. He has a real gift with music and continuously picks up and learns new instruments (often from youtube tutorials) which is awesome except for he insists he can play the recorder (”NO ONE can play the recorder Apollo-”. He’s considered an oddball because he is insists on practicing his instruments, his favourite is his bright yellow viola, while stretching. there was the time he tried to play the Oboe while doing the butterfly stretch and the Glaring while doing the splits. But when he does play, the sound filters through the whole building and everybody stops to listen, enraptured by the beauty of his music. Although there was one month where Apollo was sent home early from the Academy to rest after a bad fall, his music featured bad tempered battles with drums and sobbing cries from his violin (which Artemis later hit him with to get him out of his bad mood).

Artemis: Studying International Relations, she also heads a world-wide message board for people to share stories on every issue under the sun. Wanting to eventually be part of the United Nations, Artemis spends her time fundraising and bringing awareness to just about everything. She is the manager of the resident gay bar, which is also where her band ‘The Hunters’ play. People often gossip about Artemis and her group trying to figure out who is dating who, but the few times someone asks Artemis to go home with them she always says, “The only think I do in bed is sleep.” Artemis and her friends, are the scariest group on campus, they are also the most eclectic, they’re J who refuses to tell anyone their real name, John who has the widest range of skirt and tights in the world and Steph who has a tattoo of a skull on her neck and a penchant for summer dresses. But the group is terrifying not because they start fights or yell at people but because they defend everyone. One time a couple of drunk guys stumbled into the gay bar and called the crowd a bunch of freaks and a few other nastier words, Artemis responded to this by knocking the guys over the head with her mic stand. There was another time where Artemis and her friends tied a girl to the top of a flag pole after hearing her yell “Go back to ISIS” to a guy walking through campus. Apollo is thankful he’s only had to bail her out of jail twice, both times she was arrested at a protest.

Aphrodite: Studying Design, Aphrodite aims to create a more diverse range of clothing for people: skirts, shirts, pants, jackets that fit boys and girls and neither and both, people who are tall, short, fat and thin. She also has a bad habit of giving her clothes away (even though she can just make them again), she’ll just be walking along and next minute she’ll be giving her scarf to a someone because “-it brings out your eyes babe, you should wear more blue!”. Her arms are also scarred, old thin lines that almost draw the focus from to thick scars on her wrists. She doesn’t hide her arms, she often says to people who blush or hide themselves as she flings clothes at them, “lines, curves, dips and bumps make art sweetheart! Just ask Hephaestus!” She is always bringing people around, either for models, inspiration, lovers or a combination she is hardly ever alone. Her dorm room is full of draping fabrics and rolls of ribbon that seems to be never ending. She also has the widest range of fashion, one time she spent a whole day just walking around in a ball gown, the next she was in full gothic logia aesthetic. Her Instagram! Its a thing of beauty, full of pictures of models, clothes and the sources of her inspirations, each picture just breathes with the beauty Aphro sees in the world.

8. Ares: Studying The History of Warfare. Ares came out of the arming with an honourable discharge after losing his hearing from being a blast that nearly set him on fire. At first Ares was uncomfortable, he had residual scarring all up his right arm and torso and he didn’t like wearing his hearing aid. But he couldn’t hold his fear with Aphrodite next door, who accepted and treated scars like they were freckles, simply part of the body. They tried to date, but decided to stay friends simply because they both valued being able to hold someone for comfort. After his return, Ares decided to study into what he was fighting for. Since beginning his degree Ares has written 2 books on how history repeats itself, particularly war. Ares is also a huge conspiracy theorist, honestly, he and Zeus get in huge arguments about governments and secrets which only stop when Hera intervenes. Surprisingly, the person he is closest to is Athena, every Wednesday night the pair stay up until 4am playing viedo games and comparing battle strategies.

Hephaestus: Studying Arts, nicknamed ‘The Creator’. Born in a wheel chair, Hep was originally an Engineer, but after becoming tired of making but not feeling like he was creating anything, came back to Uni to study art. Hep has used every material and media available in the art department, he is known for unusual works made from twisted metals and harsh brushstrokes. Everyone gossiped when, a few months back, Hep asked Aphrodite to model for him, and although he finished the work, the only one who is allowed to see it is Aphrodite, (she is also the only one who is allowed in his room and can convince him to eat/sleep/wake up). One time Hermes peaked into his room while Hep was sleeping and only had time to see a mural of Frida Kahlo’s  Broken Column before he was hit with a paint pallet. Always sleep deprived, grumpy and dirty, he disappears for days to work in the arts department on his next invention and sleeps for a whole day when he comes back. But when he finishes his work, he invites the whole dorm and uses the funds to donate to the children’s hospital in town.

Hermes: studying Journalism, he is also the radio host of the university radio, he has his hand on the pulse and knows about every single good deal, cheapest drinks, best parties, quietest study areas on campus. He constantly submits articles to the New York Times and the Huffington posts, on a whole range of topics from sitting down with Artemis and Aphrodite to talk about diversity and representation. He is unfortunately the biggest gossip and he is unusually good a figuring things out, so anytime anyone has drama they run in the opposite direction of him. But the unofficial councillor, people will write/text/call/tweet/email into the station and Hermes will do an hour long segment on ‘what to do if your S.O. is abusive’ or ‘Guys we’re having a meeting for people who struggle during exam block so we can all keep an eye on each other’.  

Dionysus: Studying Culinary Science, Dionysus is a recovering alcoholic who is now determined to open up his own restaurant. Wanting to make food so good it will make people go insane, Dionysus insists on testing his meals on the whole dorm. It is not unusual for it to be 4am and to have Dion banging on someone’s door demanding they taste his soup/steak/pasta etc. His room always smells fantastic, sometimes like cinnamon and berries other times like cooked beef and gravy. He and Demeter are always gossiping about the garden, they both want to make an orchid next.

“Well, what have I got to lose?”

“I’ve reached the end and I won’t fight anymore.”

“If I get too close, I may pay the price.”

“Is honor worth endless hours of silence spent alone?”

“When you are sleeping, do you dream of me?”

“If you can bear the sight, think of the love you’ve never known.”

“I can’t deny the past, it’s written on my face.”

the aesthetics of the gods

Aphrodite: the bruises of love bites left by lovers on necks and thighs; smudged lipstick from hasty kisses; blood red roses with their sharp thorns still intact; the way you hug someone you love when you reunite after a lengthy separation

Apollo: polished instruments gleaming, held like the most precious of jewels by their owners; a sunny day with a clear blue sky where there are no clouds in sight; the rough script of poems penned out on scraps of paper or napkins before they're forgotten; when music is so loud that you feel it reverberating in your bones; the pale lines of fading scars

Ares: the hands of a fighter, short finger nails and bloodied knuckles; split lips that have scabbed over; the smooth and intricate lines of old weapons you see mounted on museum walls; deep trenches dug out from the earth; the way barbed wire contrasts against whatever it surrounds

Artemis: loose braids with wild flowers slipped in; the majesty of tall trees stretching up endlessly towards the heavens; the wide and captivating eyes of wild deer; cloudy nights where the moon is just barely peeking through; the colorful fletching of arrows drawn back to rest upon cheeks and along jaws

Athena: the straight and steady way a soldier stands at attention; fingertips smudged with ink; a stack of books to read piled on the floor or a nightstand; eyes gleaming with the glow of new ideas; the quiet and contemplative aura of museums and libraries

Demeter: the way sunlight catches dust motes in the air through the gaps in the leaves of the trees; the feeling of life you get from standing in the middle of an orchard with bees buzzing around you; crocuses and snowdrops peeking through the last dredges of winter's snow

Hades: the bleached bones of animals in the forest when moss has begun to engulf them; the way that graveyard angels look like they're weeping in the rain; the solemn aura of old churches, citadels, synagogues, temples, and mosques

Hephaestus: the pleasure of holding something you've created in your palms; the soft glow of heated metal; the intricate beauty of cogs and gears fitting together precisely and working in tandem; the smooth and polished surfaces of high-rise business buildings

Hera: the lacy white of flowing wedding gowns; the way a couple's hands look clasped together; pairs of old wedding rings that are scratched from years of use; the feeling of surrealism that comes from looking at old family portraits; getting used to sharing a space with someone else and then seeing the mannerisms you've unknowingly adopted from them

Hermes: the way that the low beam headlights of a car touch the roads that stretch ever onwards at night; old maps yellowed at the corners from their age; the way that things rush past when you look out the window of a car or train; quick hands slipping deftly into pockets and taking what they find

Hestia: the light and protection of street lights in an otherwise dark city; the warmth of your bed on cold winter mornings; the heat of a fire as you sit around it with people you love; the comfort of a home-cooked meal

Poseidon: the way light looks when you're seeing it shine down from deep underwater; the effervescent colors of cresting waves; the eery beauty of shipwrecks; the ripples created when you trail your fingertips through still waters; dust clouds kicked up by the passing of strong hooves

Zeus: the way that storm clouds darken the edge of the horizon; silhouettes framed against the sky by flashes of lightning; the splay of feathers of a bird's outstretched wings; the polished and tarnished brass of old fashioned scales
