Helios may I pretty please have a hug?

"I can't imagine that my hide or comparatively low body temperature will be comfortable for you, but if you wish."

[mischief-rei]

be honest…Helios, do you think most things are black and white in morality?

“Of course! Everyone has their own moral compass, thereby many have their own views of justice. It’s why many individuals have conflict. If we all shared the same ideals, there’d be high likelihood of more peace around the world.”

He goes quiet as he smirks at you. “Are you trying to defend your little judge? A pity I don’t care enough to try to be on same ground as him. If he changed at all, we’ll, I may reconsider ‘ghosting’ him.” He’s too amused with his own pun.

All I have to say for myself is I still want Hunter carnally,, but Helios’ almost self sacrifical kindness and babygirl ways is showing me new sides of myself 🤭 liiikkkkeee can you imagine his cute smile underneath you, TAUNTING you to do something? Him playing coy while his hands travel to your hips, bringing you closer????? Whispering something to you as you lean in, just before a KISS??

My heart is a fickled thing 😔 -4amthirstyanon

Apollo's entire vibe in God Games feels like "Dad Said I Had to Be Here" and I feel like that's so Golden Child of him

I was wondering who specifically were the ros? I obviously know the cast but who from there is an ro and who is just an Important Person? And like, are there more ros that are part of a hidden route that aren't mentioned for ~mystery~? Sorry if this has been answered or stated somewhere, I hate backtracking through Tumblr.

Main Characters that your character can be entangled with include:

Finny, Thea, Linnet, Helios, Medea

Characters that are route-locked are:

Eirik, Darius/Daria.

However over the course of the story, your character mostly likely be able to entangle themselves with one of Thea’s siblings as well.

I say “entangled” with because romance will vary between characters based on the plot and characters own romantic entanglements with other characters. But for the sake of clarity, Thea and Finn are the most straightforward and safe romantic companions in the story.

God you really ARE a weapon. That's really cool tho! You seem super prepared to handle any situation!

What was it like back on your homeworld? How does it differ from Alternia?

"I designed this container with durability and adaptability in mind."

"It was, in a word, peaceful. I had regular tasks to complete which I found satisfying and was of adequate usefulness to my society. This fortunately has not been difficult to emulate on Alternia."

"However, to simply say that undermines that I severely underperformed on my homeworld and that my behavior was, and still is, considered a malfunction. I should also state that I in no way represent the standard of my species. I am an outlier on nearly every front you can name."

"With that, I must excuse myself. My shift at the clinic is upcoming and I should prepare."

Got a design 4 Helios?

Yes! Well I mean, he's not full body BUT. I have drawn Helios before, this is the most recent version of him

I've been seeing some essays from some authors whose tried to refute the syncretism of Apollo with Helios/Sol and Artemis/Diana with Selene/Luna, one of those even called syncretism a "decadent" practice… I mean, i know that them as sun and moon deities wasn't their primal role and wasn't very common or popular in religion nor mythology being Roman or Greek (in fact, in mostly of textes and cults Helios/Sol and Selene/Luna were always viewed as th Sun and the Moon), but i think that said that Apollo an Artemis/Diana were never viewed as sun and moon deities or claimed that was just a misconception and a modern misinformation is not true, because we have textes in which we could see associations of the Sun and the Moon with Apollo and Artemis/Diana.

Personally i like to see them more in a "sunlight and moonlight", and well of course focus in other of their more main and primarly roles, not as the sun and the moon, those are Helios and Selene. But i don't like when people bothers others who sees twins as sun and moon deities arguing that is wrong, or a misconception. I could quote some ancient authors whose associated them with solar and lunar aspects, but, as those essays claims, they would said that are misinformation or a "not-reliable" text source 😮‍💨

yeah, it's very true that though they were not THE sun and moon gods, they were still heavily associated with it!

even in Greece, in Artemis's case at least, she was worshipped in a triple cult alongside Selene and Hecate. As for Apollo, while "light" can refer to multiple things, such as in relation to prophecy, I genuinely think it also refers to his connection to the sunlight.

he has been describe as. you know. glowing before. and not for any particular purpose either. not much of a stretch for that to apply to being the literal god of light.

and I totally agree with you anon! i see them as the light of the sun and moon too!

i think there's may be a bit too much emphasis on "getting the myths right!" when it comes to the differences between Greece and Rome - I'm on board with people finally understanding what relates to which, but there must also be an understanding that lots of times, they intersected. Apollo and Diana likely became popularized as the sun and moon because they were just more relevant to the Romans' lives, with Apollo even becoming an important figurehead in the cult of Sol Invictus - even then, he was worshipped WITH Helios and Sol.

There is never just one specific god for one specific thing, and to minimize each gods' importance based solely on "oh that's ANOTHER god" downplays their individuality.

Like for example, I could just say "APOLLO is the god of the arts, NOT the Muses!!" and I would technically be correct, but also be missing MASSIVE CONTEXT because Apollo is the patron and god of the arts, but the Muses are the patrons and goddess of SPECIFIC arts.

"EILEITHYIA is the goddess of childbirth, NOT Artemis!" also technically correct, BUT Artemis is the patron of childbirth and midwifery BECAUSE of her function as a protector of the young, and also because of the rough birthing her own mother went through where in one version, she helped deliver Apollo - another connection to her patronage of childbirth.

Hyperion, Helios, and Apollo all serve different functions of the sun (such as its physical manifestation, path, and light), just as Selene, Hecate, and Artemis serve different functions of the moon (such as the different phases)!

if anyone has anything to add on about Apollo and Artemis and their connections to the sun and moon, and especially in relation with the other gods, feel free to add on!!

Would Helios ever be able to be with MC who was terrified of his father and often mistook him for his father? Like shaking around him, stuttering, or sometimes jumping when he touched them.

I mean if MC ever becomes that frightened of him then I think he would just leave them alone to not cause them distress. Kind of like what happens after chapter 3.
