#Smite funny

[aroaceleovaldez]

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

Hubris is thr act of one claiming that they are better than a god

Example "I'm so pretty I'm even note beautiful than Lady Aphrodite"

Story of Arachne

Icarus

Original story of Medusa

I don't think what ur describing is hubris but over confidence:]

You haven't seen me sleep deprived and willing to kill god

We screech and we laugh and we make gifs. But have you considered how utterly excruciating it is to realise that the one person you trusted to have your back, doesn't? That in the end, for whatever reason, they did not choose you?

If they ever want to be together, an apology dance is so far from being enough it's heartbreaking. Somehow, they need to process their emotions. They need to re-establish a trust that's been broken. They need to convince one another that, given another choice, they would put Us first.

Mac and the beliefs that influence his actions

compelled by horrible divorcées emrys and astarion if he got ascended somehow and she got turned but they hate each other for what they’ve made each other. but actually also compelled by the idea of them being divorcees and she dumps him, comes back 10 years later a level 17 paladin here to kill his ass, and he’s like. oh DAHRLING. 😏 come CRAWLING BACK to me???? and she’s like. no I’m here to fucking kill you. but he already had dinner prepared and everything Specifically because he heard she was coming. it’s embarrassing for them both when she sits down for it like “okay but I AM killing you after this” “you can try 🤏 it will be the most entertainment I’ve had in MONTHS.” then they make out

i was reading up on ars goetia for solomon reasons, and i noticed something that piqued my interest. most if not all his pact demons are said to command legions of demons themselves (notably eligos with 60 legions, belial with 80 legions, and paimon with 200 legions). a lot of them even have a whole host of abilities comparable to barbatos’ time-related powers (in fact many are listed to be able to speak past and future, or to manipulate it, much like barbatos).

all this to say i think it would be neat if in canon part of the reason solomon is considered so powerful is not only because he has powerful magic in his own right, but also because he commands an army of 72 demons, most of which have entire armies of their own and special abilities to boot.

Zorro would be a Paladin. First I thought about a barbarian, but with his honour kink and his self sacrificing tendency, as well as protecting his nakama he screams for a paladin. And his deity is just the guy how invented sake

that's an interesting take ! i definitely think zoro would fit well with oath of devotion paladin. but hear me out. if he's gonna be devoted to smth it cant just be some random god that caters to his substance abuse tendencies (i say this with the utmost affection). besides, we can lean into the thing of zoro doesnt believe in god. he never has. why would he have an oath to smth he doesn't believe in? paladins dont necessarily have to pledge to a god to gain their abilities. strong faith is the key.

so i propose: kuina

zoro's promise to kuina to be the greatest swordsman in the world is his oath. it's what started him out on his journey. the wado ichimonji is his sacred weapon that was bestowed upon him by the father of the girl he swore an oath to.

edit: just realized zoro could also be oath of conquest to really cater to more of his battle techniques and the emphasis on the strength above all aspect for him as a paladin!

2nd edit: also just found out theres an oath of the open sea paladin which is what he could change to after he meets luffy

I know I should be bringing other companions but I love lae’zal/shadowheart/karlach team….my girl bosses…. I tried bringing gale instead of shadowheart but he disrupted the balance so he had to be booted out
