Greek mythology in pride month:

Aphrodite and Eros are dressed up in the most stylish way in the colors of the pride flag

Apollo is wearing a golden glittering jacket and nothing under it with less glittery white pants and golden shoes and also wearing golden sunglasses and having a glittery bisexual flag as a cape that almost looks golden and matches his jacket. Somehow he found David Tennant and Ncuti Gatwa and is chatting with them

Hermes is wearing bisexual colors and all the wings in his outfit are the same color as the flag and martha and George (the snakes on his staff) have bisexual symbol around their neck

Dionysus is having a party and he is wearing all in pride (and has some pansexuals stuff around) and looking hot (like in the Hades game) he is chatting with Michael sheen

Zeus is busy cheating on hera

Hera is busy catching zeus

Artemis is in her hunter clothes (like in percy Jackson) and the color of her clothes are ace flag and her quiver is full of arrows with fleches that are colored like aro flag. She is giving her trans and enby hunters tips on diy hrt

Athena is sitting somewhere reading queer books (about ace people) while her owl had put a tiny asexual flag on her helmet

Poseidon is busy drowning homophobes

Hades is chilling somewhere and searching what a leather daddy is because Zagreus told him that he looked like one. He sent Zagreus, Thanatos, and Megaera to deal with jk Rowling. He also let queer souls come out of the underworld for a while, people like Freddie Mercury, Achilles and Patroclus, and Hyacinthus

Persephone is making every pride flag with flowers and maybe some of those flowers were once some homophobes or transphobes

Demeter and Hestia are chatting with a couple of old queer people

Medusa wanted to attend Dionysus' party wearing sunglasses, but got distracted when she heard about Neil Gaiman and is now after him

Ganymede is wearing gay (rainbow) flag and he also has his chalice that is filled with a rainbow liquid and has some tiny pride flags (like those little umbrellas but flag type) in it and pouring drinks for people

Ares and nemesis are tempting people to make a war with homophobes and transphobes

Iris is making as much rainbow as she can needless to say she is wearing all rainbow

All the campers from camp half blood and camp Jupiter are at Dionysius' party and hebe is also there. She is wearing rainbow colors as well

Hephaestus is making traps for homophobes. He isn't exactly wearing anything special but all his traps are different pride flags

Chaos is also watching different parts of earth from above, they are made of void and stars so they can't exactly wear clothes but they are turning nebulas to pride flags.

hades tumblr i have just reached the point on thanatos’ plotline where things get interesting please no spoilers but OH MY GODDDDDD (i’ve already gotten through megaera’s storyline too im living my best life over here)

[vampireopossum]

zagreus and dusa are the aro version of the trope where the introverted royal turns down all their suitors because they fell in love with the cute gardener but they have to keep their relationship secret from their noble parents

[rjalker]

they think that saying "I love you" will make all of their problems disappear, will make all the hard decisions disappear, will make all of the pain and suffering and consequences disappear, but it doesn't. It's just words.

Saying, "I love you" does not stop you from hurting the person you're saying them to. It does not grant you forgiveness or righteousness. It does not mean you are doing the right thing. It doesn't make you the hero.

Saying, "I love you" doesn't undo or make right any of the things you've done wrong.

Saying, "I love you" doesn't mean you get a happy ending now. It doesn't mean your problems are gone. It doesn't fix anything.

It can't solve anything. It doesn't magically fix relationships, because it has nothing to do with what caused the problem in the first place.

The Doctor telling Charley, "I love you" does not make up for what he did.

Charley telling the Doctor, "I love you" does not fix what has gone wrong between them because whether or not they're in love with each other has no bearing on the issue.

It's not a matter of "okay, if I say it back then it means that things are okay between us after all." because no, it doesn't. Him saying it in the first place did not help anything. It was just an excuse.

He made his decision. And saying "I love you" did not change that decision or the consequences of it. It did nothing to help. He did nothing to help. He made his choice and his choice led to nothing but pain for everyone around him.

The Doctor telling Charley, "I love you" does not negate the cruelty of what he did when he said it. It doesn't make what he did, to Charley or to the TARDIS, okay.

Charley telling the Doctor, "I love you" does not mean that she wasn't hurt and it's all perfectly fine now and not a problem. She refuses to ever acknowledge when she's really hurt or in pain or scared, and this is just a continuation of that, only now instead of pretending it didn't happen, she's pretending that if she says it back, it makes it okay.

Except it doesn't, and it's not okay. It never will be.

Aromantic and Aroflux flag colorpicked from Zagreus from Hades

[the-pasemi]

Considering what Hades 1 did right and wrong, I really do think it's the right move for Hades 2 to have no romantic options

There's the "melinoe isn't in the same position as zagreus" thing, that's a very good point in favor of that, but all you need is to look at dusa

What a disaster

"UHMMMMMMM, I'm actually not into you! Sorry! Aristotle invented this thing called aro/ace! That's what the devs gave me just now (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)"

[theultimateburritofic]

tell me about aro hypnos wip!!!

(turns my chair around to sit backwards) so i'm very smart okay and this is basically canon to me

“Have you tried not falling in love with me?” Hypnos asks lazily, the kind of half-hearted question you only ask when you already know the answer, just for a bit of a giggle.

But Zagreus isn't laughing. Isn't doing much of anything, just sitting there, quiet and serious. Hypnos sits up a little straighter, the lock of Zagreus' hair falling from his fingertips.

Oh doesn’t he feel stupid. He doesn't know anything at all.

Zagreus has tried, he can tell-- again and again he must have tried, in that persistent way of his. And Hypnos has seen it before, the way Zag loves-- falls into it easy as dreaming. But it’s not like that for Hypnos and he isn’t shy about saying that-- he won’t love Zagreus. He doesn’t do that and, yes, he’s tried. Hard to believe but true, he's given it his best shot. Thought about it a lot, dreamt about it but-- hey, those are dreams. We have them all the time.

hi hi hello my friend!!

could you perhaps! tell me a bit about hades?? all i know is that zagreus is prince of the underworld and gender as fuck and that thanatos is his boyfriend 👍 (this is not inspired by that in the tags post at all why do you ask)

i am putting this under a read more this is going to be LONG.

*visibly shaking* OK. SO. basic premsie of the game is that zagreus is looking for his birth mother by escaping from the underworld and his father who is willing to do anything to get him back. i figure that you already knew that SO. LET'S TALK ABOUT HIM AS A CHARACTER. he is a lot of things. talkative. sarcastic. perhaps slightly naive (but that's a personal beef i have about the matters of family in general). very extremely gay. you can romance both thanatos and megaera at the same time and have a polycule. or only one of them! or neither! i did neither because i projected so hard onto zagreus that it cracked the aro egg (me). anyways! he's also incredibly kind and polite to other people (assuming they're kind to him in turn. not hades because he SUCKS), he always tries to help those in need and he is SO stubborn about wanting to help them and this is how we get side plots in the game. he's just a really good dude overall, and my favorite thing about him is that he never yells. ever. my friend looked through all his voice lines (and there are SO many because once again he talks a LOT) and there is no yelling that isn't just generalized fighting noises. zagreus is! a great guy overall! he's doing his best! don't be afraid to kill him a little though he's fine with it.

oh shit this is hades in general. ahem! you get boons from various gods of the greek pantheon, though not all of them and they are very conveniently color coded to tell them apart as you try to leave the underworld. as per usual with the greek gods, things become a very messy family affair. is it spoilers to tell you that hades himself is the final boss? yeah you get to kick your dad in the face. might get kicked in the face a couple times first but it's very satisfying to down him. the game is really very versatile too, you get a ton of different buffs and perks to play around with in the form of boons from gods and you can unlock several different types of weapons so you can find one that suits you best! i favor the bow and all my friends who play hades calls me insane for it. if you ever get to try out the bow in the game, you get to decide whether i'm insane for it or not too.

and most importantly! dying is actually a very big thing in the game, through dying and learning and gaining new upgrades to make yourself stronger, you will get better. don't be afraid to die! but there's an option in the game called 'god mode' that will make things a little easier if you're having a really rough time. there's no drawback to using it and you can turn it on and off as you please. also there are certain upgrades (very vital ones too) that can only be gained through the central hub of the game that you go to when you die and aren't actively running through the underworld trying to escape. there's plenty to do there too, characters to talk to will move the story along. ALSO. YOU CAN PET CERBERUS. YOU CAN PET THE DOG. have fun, enjoy the game, everything about is so well done like the music and art is PHENOMENAL, and good luck!! if you ever want gameplay tips you can always ask!!

Dusa & Zagreus is Ace-Aro solidarity .

[aloysarrow]

I just think... that I'd be very cool... if we got not only bffs Artemis and Zagreus (aro and bi solidarity)... but also bffs Apollo and Melinoë (bi and aro solidarity)... it came to me while eating pizza and I think I'm onto something lol

[candygothjester]

AAAA idk if my other ask went in but I think it was for your oc Jax w 7 and 21 from that as game ?? But if my other one DID go in then dont worry abt this one if u dont wanna alsjdkhfg

IT DID IM JUST so slow at responding to asks omg kjsdhkjsfd

I shan’t complain though because I love rambling about my OCs to no end, though apologies if this lacks coherency it is like 3 AM right now? But thank you sm for the ask!

3. What does your oc’s voice sound like? (Or, if you have one, what’s their voiceclaim?) Can they sing, whistle, or roll their rs? Do they have any speech impediments or notable dialects/accents?

Honestly!! This is something that I’ve struggled for the longest time with! I keep trying to think of a voice for Jax and I’ve yet to settle on anything? I’ve figured his voice would be on the higher end, generally being heavily emotive unless he absolutely wants/needs to mute out his feelings... which, either way, is a good tell to get a grasp on his state of mind in that moment, same with the pitch of it that well follows suit. Jax definitely has an awful singing voice, but I’d imagine him being able to whistle, roll his r’s, and he is (canonically to my campaign!) able to do other accents very well. Otherwise, he has an extremely strong Elvish accent, though I’m not sure what accent in the real world it’d be reflective of (one of my friends suggested Australian, which I can see for better or worse,).

7. What song reminds you of this oc? Does this match up with the type of music your oc likes to listen to?

yes /j

Realistically? An absolute fuckton of songs, though I’d have to say Grand Finale (matches his general personality and what I want his character growth to be like!) by Studio Killers; Nightlife, Music People, Welcome Kingdom of Addiction, and Ghosts of Utopia (all discuss very corruptive influences on his life and thus how those then reflect on his own actions and ultimately drag him down, making him suffer more and more) by IAMX; The World Does Not Revolve Around You and Irresistible (this man’s awful ego) by Temposhark; and The Prince (his present self more-or-less being reflected upon by him when he’s older) by Madeon! I can’t say this without including songs about his pairings, so I particularly associate Achilles, Come Down (if there’s any song that I could dedicate to their dynamic as a whole, it would be this) by Gang of Youths with Jax and Dekida (where I find that the singer’s voice would match Kida’s, to reflect on the previous question), then world.search(you); (again, another close descriptor of Jax and Hazel’s dynamic, particularly while they both think the other is dead) by Mili with Jax and Hazel! None of these match his music taste, I’d imagine at most he might listen to a FEW songs from IAMX, but regularly I think he’d listen to rap..?

21. What’s a fact you haven’t shared about this oc?

THERE’S SO MUCH... this man has an incredible amount of lore and things to his personality, I couldn’t even begin to start with just one... but I think I’ll go with the most recent development of him since it’s fun? So, to give context, Jax’s forearms and hands are completely black, their surface looking a lot like charred wood with many, many lacerations thanks to corruption from The Tower (and to give even more context, this whole world has a singular set of very magical tarot cards called the Dwelling Cards that all come with their own unique properties, abilities, intuitions, and corruptions, generally being held by a person that matches their stereotypical traits within divination. Only one Card can be held at once by a person, unless that person holds The Fool like Jax), as upon killing his father who held it, Jax took the card and it completely corrupted his hands which now burn with absolute hell levels of pain. From this, his mother created gloves for him which numb the pain of the corruption, though it still hurts plenty and tends to spike at random moments regardless; their edges are magically sewn into his skin to ensure that they will never accidentally come off. Eight levels of context aside and completely disregarding that I’ve mentioned this nowhere before besides TH, the one thing that I really wanted to talk about was the solution since I really haven’t put that anywhere before! I was thinking that when this whole situation gets sorted out and dealt with, since my campaign has an odd focus on elemental creatures (the Bronze Dragon, Mary, & a stone/construct hawk goddess, Uvetta, are like. two major characters), I’d make his blood turn golden in response (I think Uvetta would partake in his healing..? This would take more context, but for basic knowledge she is something of a healer and is also the essential creator of the Dwelling Cards) to match, in a sense, his ego and status, reflective of how much he sees himself as something wonderful and how others do too, but also how he’s not only a “null” prince but an idol, regarded by, looked up to, and favoured by many to the point where he makes his own self conform to these visions much like a trophy. He’s a god in his own right to some extent, the golden blood only reflecting that. On its own, the properties of the blood can be healing at first in regards to a person’s mental state, though if enough of it consumed it quickly becomes addicting and intoxicating whilst not once quenching thirst, only drawing people in to drink more and more. It is cool, kind of like water that’s been sitting out for a while in a colder location, and it solidifies into a metal outside of Jax’s body after some time passes. Since I think it’s cute, his own blush becomes very much golden, though I think at the same time his tears would turn black for... no true reason really, it just sounds kind of fun and ultimately reflects his contrast from the self he presents to others to who he actually is. Bodily fluids aside, I feel as though his hands and forearms would be permanently covered in tinted skin, like thick lines of blue kind of like bandages running over them.

B, N and O for that fanfic ask game !

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

Admittedly, I think the only one that fits is Late-Night Waffles (first fic I ever wrote for DQXI) but that was because I would usually frequent Waffle House late at night after work for a meal. Other than that, not really. My social life is not usually that interesting to write about so I opt for things I would imagine what I'd do *avoids the potential incoming bricks*

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

I had an idea a little while back about doing a Seremma fic based on the Nutcracker for December. Due to my job and school, I'm unsure how I'll complete it but I open the prompt to anyone that wants to attempt it (I'll also detail the AU in a separate post if you're interested)

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?

I usually think up the prompt first, then the characters and then the actual plot itself.

Both their thought processes went: Well everyone always says the love someone when horrible things are happening, and in the stories it always makes everything okay. They're saved, they get a happy ending, they live happily ever after. If I say I love them, we'll find a way to fix things. It will fix things. It has to.

And then it doesn't. Because love is just a word and saying it doesn't change anything. It doesn't fix things, it doesn't heal the hurt you've caused, it doesn't make what you did okay. Saying I love you doesn't make you a hero, it doesn't make you the savior.
