[gludgenbell]

do you play hades? The video game? Who's your favourite character?

Yes!! I love hades

Been dying to actually draw one of the characters but I doubt I'll serve them any justice

Zagreus is best boy, but I love Thanatos! He's just a little guy,,

After him is Zag, after him is Hypnos, and Megara is really starting to grow on me but I really love Tisiphone

She's a real treat

Miracle Weapon Hunt Chapter 17: Sticks That Make Things Explode

Cassandra opened the door on the top level of the airship. Inside was Ola, spinning in her office chair.

“I swear I was supposed to do something today.” She was heard whispering to herself before noticing Cassandra and Chizoba enter the room.

“Oh hey, Cassandra! And...the girl Dakarai helped!”

“Is she allowed in here?” Cassandra asked.

“Yeah, she can test out the guns.” Ola nodded to the question that wasn’t asked.

“Um, great?” Chizoba asked, looking perplexed. “But I need to report an incident, if that’s okay?”

“Oh, that’s always allowed.” Ola nodded.

“Well, I went to the church near the housing levels, and a bunch of new legionites were around.”

“They tried to kill me.” Cassandra said. “And I probably would have died if Chizoba here didn’t show up.”

“Well, that’s a good thing, anyway. So, any idea what they look like?”

“There were about a dozen of them, and all of them were in robes covering their faces.” Cassandra continued. “One removed his hood, and it was a really skinny looking guy.”

“If I remember correctly, we lived on the same housing ship.” Chizoba sighed. “I remember seeing him a couple of times.”

“Does he still live there?” Ola asked.

“Well, I never saw him much. I just kind of assumed he left.”

“I see.” Ola nodded, before slamming her fist on her open palm. “That’s it! I need to send extra baby supplies to the store ships! Aphro day was nine months ago.”

“So yeah, figured I’d let you know.” Cassandra said. “Especially since they knew who I was, figured it’d be good to let the other Leaders know.”

“I’ll make a note of that.” Ola nodded, jotting something in her notebook and sticking it to the wall behind her, alongside the dozens of notes on the wall. And the other set of dozens on the floor. “Anyway, we going to the gun place?”

The three girls moved down to the next level of the buildings. Inside was a grand hallway made of black metal that led to several small rooms. It was hexagonal in shape as it led to the other rooms, and in the middle was a black metal greave.

“Is that the Inariu greave?” Chizoba asked.

“Sure is. But try not to go near it, if you trip the system you’ll activate the security, and that’ll be a whole ordeal to deal with.”

Cassandra glanced into one of the rooms through a blue tinted window, and inside was a man wielding a double-bladed sword. She watched as an Inariu native held the weapon and swung one end of it full force into a target. The man who looked to be from ShiShi shook his head as he took the weapon and sliced the wooden target in half with what looked like nothing more than a mild shift of weight and flick of the wrist. The man looked towards Cassandra through the window and gave her a friendly wave as she stood open mouthed.

She needed to learn how to do that.

“Cassandra? Cassandra?” Chizoba asked, tapping her on the shoulder and breaking her out of her mesmerized state.

“Hm? Oh, right, guns.” She said to herself.

The two of them walked into an empty room where Ola was setting up targets. On a small metal chuck jutting on the wall opposite to the door was one of the guns that the guards were holding when they first landed there.

“What took you so long?” Ola asked once the targets were set up.

“Well, I saw the demonstration of the ShiShi doubleedge in another room. And it did so much damage to a target that you really can’t help but be impressed, considering its weight alongside it’s short handles not allowing for ease of movement. It’s usually used as a ceremonial weapon in ShiShi, but if you guys manage to pull off actual martial arts around it you could end up with a really cool fighting style!”

Ola slowly nodded as Cassandra was rambling about the weapon. She knew her stuff, anyway. “Okay, speaking of double weapons, what we got here is a double-barrelled shotgun. These girls let you fire one shot directly after the other to avoid having to wait for anything else.”

She got the shotgun out and shot a shell into a target, shattering the wood into pieces with a single unfeeling click of the trigger. She then quickly unloaded the next shell into the second wooden statue. It also shattered as soon as she fired the shot.

“Alright, now you try!”

She opened up the gun and put two new shots in it, stylishly closing the gun and handing it to Cassandra.

Cassandra held the gun in her hand. It was heavy. Below the metal barrels was a wooden grip with two triggers on it. She aimed the barrels at the first target. She pulled the trigger. The shots all exploded into small metal pellets which quickly decimated the wooden target. She did the same to the next target. The same result.

“So that’s it?” Cassandra asked.

“Yep!” Ola replied, her arms crossed and a wicked smile on her face.

“No, really. That’s it?”

Firing a shotgun was just ‘point at a thing and the thing explodes.’ There were wielders with similar abilities, sure, and she couldn’t deny the effectiveness. But there wasn’t any finesse. Nothing to get better at. It was artless fighting.

“It’s…not that great, honestly.” Cassandra said to Ola, giving her the gun back. “I think I’ll stick to swords and stuff, thanks.”

“But…it’s the most efficient.” Ola replied, gazing at the gun and then towards Cassandra.

“Well, yeah…but there’s no skill to it. Besides, I’d probably panic if I was in an actual fight and try to hit someone with it.”

“I mean…suit yourself, I suppose.”

“I don’t think it’s a big deal.” Chizoba sighed. “She just prefers more traditional weapons, is all.”

“Yeah, like double edged ceremonial swords.” Cassandra yelled out.

“What about greaves?” Chizoba asked casually. “Replicas of the Inariu greaves are something of a specialty here.”

“I don’t think we have any of those here, we’ve kind of perfected them.” Ola mumbled while stroking her chin. “But I can probably hook you up if you want some.”

“Nah. It sounds pretty clunky, in all honesty. I’m more of a speed fighter, anyway.”

“Suit yourself.” Ola shrugged. “Anyway, if you don’t have any more business here, you’re free to go.”

“Yeah, is the weapon testing here something to need to plan in advance or can I just walk in and ask?”

“You can just walk in, I guess. You’re a VIP here.”

“Okay, laters!” Cassandra yelled as she dashed out of the hallways.

Cassandra tried to remember which room had the double-bladed swords in it. As she tried to stop running as she remembered which room was the double-bladed sword room, she skidded across the immaculately polished floor into a wall.

“Damn it.” She mumbled. Her phone buzzed, and she picked it up. It was a message from Julian.

‘hey you gotta see my new eye. maybe a cyborg bear too, shit’s wild’

New eye and a cyborg bear. Cool weapons had to wait, it seemed.

[the-fandom-is-now-my-life]

Heracles/Hercules HCS?

Heracles/Hercules HCS?

The only excuse I have is that I had a bit too much homework  and had to self-taught an entire subject

I'm gonna do  god/dess MC because I got one asking the same but with human!MC 😄.Let's start!

After being turned into a god I suppose someone must have been NICE ENOUGH to show him around. Who am I fooling, they are all bitches.

So let's say that you offered to be his  'guide' in the start of him figuring out what he has to do as a god and stopping him from getting himself gravely hurt.

" Heracles, no, you can't jump from here, even as a god you will break your legs"

"No, Heracles, you don't just pick a fight with someone you just met, even if it's a mock fight. You are going to get yourself killed"

" Hercules just don't"

So you end tagging along in his journeys or adventure to make  sure he doesn't die. Even if he gets on your nerves sometimes with his happy-go-lucky Attitude

" Heracles, I swear upon myself that I will knock you out if you manage to get in a fight again today"

When he developed his crush after a few centuries of you two being friends he would be more affectionate/attentive but awkward about it.

" Can I drink some wine from your cup? I ran out of it" 

" S-sure! But I was just drank from it. You...you don't mind it. do you?" He retracted the glass from his lips

" No I don't'

extended his hand but didn't let go of his glass.

"Ahm? Do you mind if I…?" 

The first time he tried to confess he ended up rambling

"You are really pretty, your eyes are gorgeous, your hair too. Are you using the shampoo that Aphrodite recommended you? I remember you said it was made with leaves of the Golden Bough . I will go and get you some! Byee!"

"Bye?" 

After a few tries Hercules decided to simply write a letter and make geir send it to you.

" So do you want me to give MC this letter?"

"Yeah!" 

"So the rumor that big brother Heracles had a crush on someone was true! This is a love letter. isn't it!"

Geir please stop you are going to embarrass him to death 

Then if you accept his confession and he would be smiling like a toddler.

If you vote for humanity to stay alive because of him he would feel touched, especially if you didn't like mankind at the start 

Herc: what did you vote?

Mc: for them to stay alive. Why?

Herc: 🥺 

Mc: w-why are you crying?

You now got the privilege to get called 'big sis/bro' by geir

The other gods now tease herc because of that

Geir: big bro herc! Big sis/bro MC! Good morning

Aphrodite: oh~? How is it that I didn't know about this new couple~

Zeus: huhu~ I knew I saw I little of me inside of Hercules. Ahh how I miss my prime. Fufufu

Hera: ( whispering) if he cheats stab him where the sun doesn't reach, understood little MC?

Pls help him. He is going to die of embarrassment. Especially if his SO teases him too.

Mc: Auch, My hips hurt badly 

Aphro: oh~ who would have guessed little herc was a top. And a rough one.

Shiva: I would have guessed he was a bottom.

You? Laughing your ass put

Herc? Dead 

Hotel? Trivago

This meme? Dead too

While watching the fight I can totally picture him bringing a lot of snacks, even if he wasn't interested in the fight he didn't want to leave until it was his turn to fight . I like to think that he either likes super sweet candies or spicy chips. No in-between.  

When it was his turn he would insist on getting a kiss

" please" 

" Only if when you return we go and drink some tea"

"deal!" 

As Hercules was turned into a god when he reborns as a human and ages like one, but when he hits 12-13 herc gets a really bad fever and then after a day is the same old  Hercules

High-key a cuddly baby. Cries when you put him down

"What is the matter, I only put him down to get some milk"

" Oh you can't be serious! You were sleeping just now, but when I put you in the crib you wake up"

Baby herc: *sleeping*

MC: *backing slowly*

Baby herc: *wakes up* MC! *He raises his arms*

Mc: C'mon!

 He doesn't remembers anything that happened before until he returns to normal.  He is very sorry  and embarrassed

What I want to hear more than anything is any and all of your thoughts involving Kushinada? Because I LIVE of them I need all of your ramblings about her and every AU she is currently apart of. You could type out thousands of words and I'd still want more.

since you did write about that hot fenrir X kushinada stuff in your latest fic (which was the most adorable thing btw omg) i figured i might provide a few scenarios for that (a few meaning 1000+ words of cute stuff oops! never mind it’s 2000+ hahaha fuck)

high school au

i know i said it in the dating sim route for fenrir but him giving his leather jacket to kushinada when they go out and it’s cold??? that’s one of my fav tropes omg

also kushinada accidentally comparing fenrir to a loyal dog when talking to aphro and light hel and him overhearing that and being all embarrassed about it bc he can’t deny that he’s literally a dog in human form

he has a very strong sense of smell, always noticing all the flower perfumes that kushinada wears and he always compliments her about how nice she smells even when she’s come back from her garden (he likes the smells of nature hehe)

also he’s very protective of her and gives people the nastiest stares if they say anything remotely negative about her. when kushinada opens up about having an unrequited crush on cu chu and her past with relationship with susano she has to drag away fenrir and get him to promise not to fight those two on sight

also it’s a lil nsfw but i think he’s totally into leaving hickeys around the place so when kushinada shows up at school on a super hot day with a scarf aphro is like “so things must be moving nicely between you and fenrir huh?” and kushinada is just a blushing mess and silently nods

oh, and him just resting his head on kushinada’s when she’s gardening and wrapping his arms around her UwU

so when they start dating i really like the idea of fenrir learning how to grow stuff with kushinada (and him actually having a decent green thumb after learning the basics)

also i couldn’t get the idea out of my idea about fenrir trying to grow kushinada roses/or forget-me-nots/camellias(they all mean love apparently?? that’s cute n sappy hehe) and trying to keep it a secret from her

so while he’s checking some plants during club time, fenrir just snatches a seed packet from her collection and takes her gardening equipment and other materials when he needs them

bc he’s just a beginner he fails pretty badly and goes around asking for help from tyr (as he’s been talking about kushinada w/ tyr who serves as a sorta personal confidant and a father figure who is more stern w/ fenrir than loki). tyr’s all for this as that’s how he wooed ullr over on their first date (and promptly got laid as well) so they both read a few gardening books and search the internet for info…

…unfortunately tyr’s pretty shit w/ gardening as well so they ask chiron for help and, although he’s got the knowledge, it somehow doesn’t work out either…

…so they ask for inari’s help which who suggests that they just hire a professional gardener or just buy some really expensive and rare flowers for her(which they’ll pay for; inari is all for fenrir trying to be romantic and trying to cater to kushinada’s interestseven if it doesn’t turn out)

fenrir eventually decides to come clean and presents her with what he’s got and kushinada kisses him for all his effort UwU. she really appreciates the effort even if she was aware that he was stealing from her the entire time (she’s gotta keep a tight budget with the club, the school only gives her a certain amount of money to run the place and it’s she may be forgetful at times but her equipment disappearing every time fenrir was around was a lil convenient)

also if we’re going full cheese then i want fenrir to confess his love to kushinada all anime-style w/ cherry blossoms and everything :’^)))))) like kushinada would be the first to say that she loves him but it’s really hard for him to say, like he’ll just say “i do too” and avoid saying “i love you”

also just in general they’d probs both like going out to parks, botanical garden or go hiking and have peaceful walks when kushinada points out all the plants while fenrir listens, he likes hearing her ramble on bc it’s cute seeing her so excited about something

so they’re at some botanical garden place and kushinada is really excited and basically dragging fenrir by the arm to point out all the different flower types but all he can think about is how much she’s changed him for the better, how he doesn’t deserve her at all. he’s just smitten with her, with how adorable she is when she’s ranting, even if he’s heard all the information before - he just wants to listen to her beautiful voice. and, wow, she looks so stunning amongst the blooming flowers and he thinks, no, he knows he’s in love with her and how he wants to marry her and that sorta mushy stuff hehe

kushinada snaps him out of his thoughts by asking if she’s boring him with her explanations and then he just blurts out that he loves her and it’s just silence between the two for a moment before kushinada, as the sappy bitch she is, starts crying tears of joy and leaps into his arms :’))))))) (yes i’m the world’s softest bitch, what about it)

mafia au

fenrir stumbles into kushinada’s bakery after a street fight with a rival gang, all bloody and bruised and telling her to not touch him before promptly passing out. kushinada tends to his injuries while he’s out and drags him into her beroom falling asleep beside the bed bc she was so exhausted from work + this incident

fenrir wakes up with a nasty headache, only made worse by him not knowing where he is - he’s still alive, probably due to the beautiful japanese woman uncomfortably lying on the side of the bed with bandages in her hands. he knows he could snap her neck with ease, but something in the back of his mind tells him not to - tyr’s words and actions ring in his ears

also on a side note i’m imagining that fenrir has a rough childhood bc of loki being involved in shady gang operations and that fenrir was preened by him to succeed him but fenrir was betrayed by the norse gang and left to get caught by the cops during a major heist. i imagine that tyr, a cop (duh), went onto the scene and tried to communicate with a scared and furious fenrir. fenrir probably lashed out at him, scarring tyr’s arm (and then it later being infected or something? i’m not here for arm severing lmao) and then breaking down in his arms while tyr comforted him.

fenrir spent some time in prison after that and got out due to tyr lobbying for him and he’s trying to separate himself from his family and old ties to his gang although it obviously catches up with him here :^)

the attack was probably bc in the past fenrir was an asshole and very cocky, brash and abusive to others and he made a lot of enemies bc he thought we was untouchable as one of the norse gang members with really high connections bc of his father

anyways fenrir explores the small apartment before hearing the ring of the bell downstairs (i imagine the bakery to underneath a small apartment like this). he walks to check that out, hiding on the stairs just in case the gang members have found where he ended up

fortunately (or rather, unfortunately) for him it’s not the gang members - it’s inari, wanting to get a pastry and tea from her favourite bakery. when they can’t see kushinada or smell anything being made that’s when they decide to check on her

fenrir makes a mad dash for kushinada’s room, pretending to sleep once again while kushinada is in the shower. she gets out and greets inari, trying to nicely introduce the topic of the strange and ruggedly handsome man resting in her room (it just hit me that this is essentially just that scene from tangled but inari isn’t an evil hag lmao)

inari is really annoyed - they don’t want kushinada to get further involved with any more gang acitivity than she already is and they know about fenrir’s past and what he’s done. they fight for a bit before inari relents, knowing that coddling kushinada and treating her like a defenceless child isn’t going to help her out any.

fenrir is shitting himself - he never expected to get so close to the elusive and destructive inari and it doesn’t help that inari ends the conversation with “if he does anything to hurt you i’ll make sure to put that mangy mutt down and make him regret ever stepping out of prison” before asking kushinada to have a cup of tea with her

after they’re done, kushinada comes up while fenrir pretends to wake up for the first time. she checks on his injuries and she asks about what happened to him but he shuts her down before she has to chance to speak and tries to leave - of course, in his injured state he just makes things worse and falls over. kushinada scolds him for trying to move in this state, and says that even if he won’t co-operate that she’s still going look after him just to prove inari that she can handle looking after herself when dealing with the mafia business.

she leaves for a bit and brings a breakfast tray for him. he wolves it down, reluctantly saying thanks and apologising for his manners - kushinada finds him kinda cute when he’s all blushing and red (although she won’t admit it). she tries to more subtly ask what happened to make him so ravenous but he brushes her off again. fenrir asks for some coffee instead of the tea she’s brought and she makes sure that he uses his manners this time.

she goes down again, leaving fenrir to his own devices. he eventually walks around the apartment for a bit, taking special notice of all the greenery around the place. she pops up behind him while he’s admiring some lillies. he asks how she gets the plants to look so nice - she says that you can gorw anything as long as the conditions are right

then their usual routine sets in - kushinada will get up before him and they’ll eat meals with each other while she runs the bakery downstairs, popping up whenever she has the time to see him.

when he can walk without major discomfort again then kushinada gets him to man the counter and when his arm heals she starts teaching him about how to bake to tend to her plants - he’s not half bad at either activity and when he’s polished his skills enough he makes breakfast for her UwU

of course y’all can imagine as many fluff moments as possible while they fall in love and that cute stuff like

fenrir talking about his tats and what they mean

talking about his past, maybe a lil bit of angst and comfort bc i’m a sucker for emotion support scenes

cute baking moments, fenrir licking the spoon and kushinada getting on his case about that

i’m sure you can think of a few dramatic situations to progress the plot but i’m just here for fluff hehe

or maybe something about fenrir running into some old gang members and them giving him shit about losing his edge and how pathetic he looks manning the bakery - he’s barely keeping himself together but he does for his and kushinada’s relationship together but he snaps when one of the group starts talking about kushinada and threatening to attack her to coax the old fenrir out. it probs gets into a bad back alley sprawl with the gang needing a large ambulance as a result of his anger (i like to imagine that inari was watching around the corner ready to back him up and they’re like “good job kid”)

and maybe fenrir’s family comes to see him?? at the very least i want light hel to work for kushinada at the bakery bc i want Dramatic™ family reunions yo and she’d fit the role p well
