Athena: Some Roman poet is claiming I turned you into an ugly monster. Medusa: Don't say it out loud! Athena: Why- Phorcys: *bursts through the door* WHO THE FUCK SAID MY DAUGHTER IS UGLY?!!

[local-ghoul12]

So last night I had a dream where my parents sent me on a trip on a ship/cruise with other people my age to make friends.

We took a trip to an island that we were going to stay on, and when we were there the first thing I did was go to the beach.

When I went to the beach I met this super cute merman, and in the dream he didn’t tell me his name.

So I did what a normal person would do and I turned him into an oc, the following post will be about him :)

DRAWING IS SO HARD

T^T

Anyways, this is my Obey Me OC Phorcys. He calls himself Levi’s friend when in reality hes a real nuisance. Absolutely everyone except for 13, Levi, and my MC; Ollie, fucking despise him. He’s quite the trickster and will use any means to get what he wants. Even with all these shitty traits of his he does favor Levi and tries to help him out, although through strange means that can be.. “misconstrued”? No, no no, they really are shitty, just like it seems, but some how they end up working out.

Prompt Five: Cutting Corners

Spoiler warning for Endwalker lore!!

Since Elja was a child, he has always dreamed of the things he must remember. Be it birthdays, anniversaries, assignments, jobs, or his own desires, he would dream of them all. Sometimes those dreams expanded beyond that which he knew. There would be times he dreamed of things other people needed to remember. Most of the time he knew the people and the items to be remembered. Other times he would remember the thoughts of long-gone phantoms.

Today the long-gone phantom that bid him remember was his own self.

When Elja closed his eyes he could still see that elegant desk standing in that too large room. Two robed figures sat around it, taking long cylindrically shaped crystals in hand and looking them over. Usually, the figures kept their masks firmly on their faces for the whole dream. This one was different. Their masks were nestled together on a corner of the white and gold desk.

"Are all of these going to Selene?" The larger man of the two enquired, looking over the crystal in his hand. As far as Elja remembered, this person was new to him, but not to the smaller person who leaned in and placed a thin, pale hand against the crystal and took it from their companion.

"No, just the ones in the box, Phorcys. The rest remain here," the smaller one said with a playful smile. Elja had seen this one every time the memories came to him. Ceto worked here in this over-large building at the elegant desk in that too-large room.

Ceto used to be his name.

"Are they failed concepts? I can help you unmake them if you'd like," no sooner than Ceto had taken one away from Phorcys had he picked up another one and tossed it in the air to see how it gleamed in the light and catch it neatly in his other hand.

The gasp elicited from Ceto was met with a grin on Phorcys' face. It was rare for Ceto's deep blue eyes to be filled with such concern and annoyance, thin lips pulled too tight and thin, jaw set. Lithe hands reached out to remove the concept crystal from the man's hands once more and set it down on their desk gently.

"No," Ceto said delicately, taking a breath once the concept was safe, "These go to Elpis. Mitron has requested they are sent in for further testing before they're submitted." Phorcys nodded to the new information. It made sense to him. There in The Words of Mitron, they were constantly having to review and move concepts back and forth between themselves and Elpis. It was something about the sharks if Elja remembered correctly.

As Ceto moved to speak more on the fate of the crystals, the conversation that continued fell into silence in Elja's consciousness. Those crystals weren't going to Elpis. He knew that to be true. Whatever they held was what he was to labor to remember. A portion of Ceto's 'creations' never made it through the proper channels. Ceto's creations existed in the deep of the oceans where no man or god dared to go. Even Elja didn't know everything there was to remember in the depths where Ceto's creations thrived.

No one would understand their beauty and importance, so Ceto did what they had to do.

When Elja opened his own deep blue eyes, he was greeted with the sight of the gently rolling waves under the boardwalk where he saw fit to take a nap. That hack of a merchant had left to get an ingredient for new medicine bells and bells ago. It was time for him to go after him and see what was taking so long this time.

The dream was not enough to remind him of what he needed to remember this time, but it set him on the path to finding it. There was something in the deep that longed to reunite with him, and he intended to find it.

[dwollsadventures]

This has nothing to do with the holidays.

Two sketches stitched together: the first is based off of a Roman mosaic of a buncha sea creatures and deities. Phorkys is portrayed as an ichthyocentaur in shape, with crab forelimbs, and red spiky skin. It's weird, but a cool creature design. Meanwhile, Keto is completely humanoid and sitting on his tail. While drawing it, I had the idea that, of all the divine family tree, Pontus' branch is the most loving of each other. We all know about Zeus' infidelity, and Rhea helped her children kill her husband, but we never hear about the marital troubles of Phorkys and Keto, or Ekhidna and Typhoeus.

Proteus, meanwhile, is taken from both Ovid's Fasti and the Odyssey. In the latter he's a shepherd of seals, so he has a bit of seal-ish whiskers and a slightly pointed face. Ovid describes him as having azure hair, which is dripping. (ᵇˡᵘᵉ ʰᵃᶦʳ, ᶦ ᵇᵉᵗ ʰᵉ ʰᵃˢ ᵖʳᵒⁿᵒᵘⁿˢ ᵗᵒᵒ...). Interestingly, the sea nymph that helps Menelaus capture Proteus says 'he is my father, or so they say'.

What is a “Universal Offering/Devotional Act?”

Feel free to request or suggest deities! This list will be done in order but you can ask for me to complete one that’s further down the list.

This list is subject to change. There are probably repeat deities (deities who go by multiple names, parts of groups like the Horae or Charities who are mostly grouped together, etc.) on this list. Some deities are not on here. Some names are spelt wrong or different.

[local-ghoul12]

Okay so I know the stuff with Phorcys just happened but uh, I made a character ai of him.

And it’s a work in progress rn but maybe if this gets some traction I’ll post the link for it.

But I was testing it and something funny just happened

why WHY DID HE START SAYING STUFF ABOUT AUTISM AND ADHD??? LIKE I HAVE BOTH BUT WHERE DID THIS EVEN COME FROM?? IVE MENTIONED NOTHING TO HIM

[kyuremking]

I don't think we talk enough about the seven putting a goddess in a stable. So here is my offer:

The seven begin putting people in the stables much earlier and continue doing so throughout the three books.

Narcissus is the first and Eco voluntarily gets on the boat but they keep forgetting about her constantly.

Phorcis and Keto? to the stable.

The dolphins escape but Chrysaor goes to the stable.

Sciron? to the same stable as Chrysor, his turtle begins to follow the Argo.

Pasiphaë? to the stable

Triptolemus and his snakes? to the stable

Cupid? To the stable, Jason kicked him there.

Khione, Calais and Zetes? To the same stable, the three of them together.

Nike? To the stable.

Kymopoleia? She climbs up voluntarily to poke Keto and Forcis with a stick.

I know there are many more people and gods that the seven encounter that deserve to be put in the stable during their adventure, but I'll leave it here.

Medusa Asteroid ( 149)

The Medusa myth is a compelling tale encompassing themes of power, fear and transformation. Medusa, born from the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto, was the only mortal among the Gorgon sisters. Originally, Medusa was a stunning maiden who captured the attention of Poseidon, leading to a grievous violation within the sacred confines of Athena's temple. In order to protect her, Athena transformed Medusa's hair into a mass of serpents, bestowing upon her a petrifying gaze. Medusa's astrological connection with the asteroid 149 suggests her influence recurs periodically, like seasons, lasting about 3.2 years. This implies cyclic challenges and growth tied to her themes.

Her family lineage underscores sibling rivalry and a sense of being different. After her transformation, Medusa retreats from the world, which can reflect where we tend to hide. Confronting these hidden truths requires courage and wisdom. Medusa's connection to Athena links her to Jupiterian qualities, offering insights when considering her placement with Jupiter in your chart. Some individuals with a strong Medusa presence may struggle with self-perception, seeing themselves as a metaphorical monster in the mirror. Others may possess an intimidating gaze that isolates them. Medusa's myth explores profound psychological and ethical themes, emphasizing self-awareness, ethical choices, and facing consequences. In astrology, Medusa indicates a swift and forceful defense mechanism to protect oneself, potentially causing tension, wounds, and unjust criticism in specific life areas, ultimately prompting personal growth.

Medusa in the 1st house: can give you a magnetic and intense presence that sometimes triggers negative reactions from strangers. Your hair and eyes, tends to draw attention, potentially making you a target for bullies or disrespectful comments in childhood. You may tend to stay hidden and to hide your body but you always end up being villainized. However, your transformative journey involves transcending these adversities. You rise above others' insecurities and boldly embrace your individuality. Empowering yourself by disregarding hurtful comments, you nurture self-appreciation and self-confidence despite societal pressures to conform.

Medusa in the 2nd house: can make you appear very self-assured and confident but you might find it difficult to see your own self-worth. Your voice may be quite attractive, and you might excel in business or singing. Financial success and possessions could come easily, but you may also face envy for your wealth. You may tend to hide the possession that you have and the inheritance that you received, especially from your husband. However, you can transform from this by maintaining your dignity, adapting to change, and valuing inner beauty over material possessions. Your makeup style may accentuate your allure, but be cautious of attracting unwanted attention in relationships.

Medusa in the 3rd house: may lead to tension with siblings and peers. In early years you may be quite shy and scared to express your opinion. In the neighborhood or with your siblings, things that go wrong might end up being attributed to you. Your social interactions may lead you to encounter individuals who are less than truthful, which can be frustrating. In some cases, people might misunderstand your intentions, labeling you as two-faced or even anti-social, especially if you're more introverted. However, your transformation comes by becoming more confident and setting boundaries, expressing your opinions assertively, and speaking up courageously when needed. Your ability to address uncomfortable truths may inspire others to do the same.

Medusa in the 4th house: can trigger negative reactions from family members. You might inherit certain challenging behaviors from an older relative and sense negative energy at home, possibly due to constant parental arguments. The them around you home can be quite unconventional, have an edgy look with marine and blue vibes to it. Your strong self-awareness and purposefulness can make it difficult for others to deceive or influence you. You've learned to establish your inner sanctuary, and you're protective of your emotions, possibly due to early criticism from a family member. This can lead to a desire for control and a slow transition when getting out of your comfort zone around others.

Medusa in the 5th house: with this placement people may envy or have hidden agendas, especially when you express your full self. You may tend to hide your art work and your creative endeavors, especially when younger. A lack of desire for children may bring you rumors, criticize and scandals. You're often villainized for outgrowing relationships and embracing change. There's a remarkable ability to protect your passions with unwavering determination, refusing to succumb to societal pressures or stifling expectations. In your life, you may attract partners with abusive tendencies and face misunderstandings due to your sincere kindness.

Medusa in the 6th house: people may envy your disciplined approach to daily life and work. In early years you might have encountered challenges with schoolmates and later, colleagues at work, a consistent inclination toward people-pleasing is noticeable. You've transformed from a people-pleaser to someone who values personal freedom and control. You're protective of your routines and may confront those who disrupt them, also you may like to adopt unusual pets and are very protective over them. You maintain a keen sense of discernment, especially regarding manipulative individuals, particularly men.

Medusa in the 7th house: your relationships may have faced challenges, and you could have experienced envy from others. People might see you as the peacemaker, but when you rebel, you face criticism. Controlling dynamics may have been part of your past relationships, and you may have experienced manipulation or guilt-tripping. People may envy your romantic connections, and sabotage could taint your relationships. You're villainized for not conforming to a one-dimensional image, for having your own vulnerabilities and complexities. To transform, reevaluate your role in relationships, recognize that you're not solely a caretaker, and insist on mutual partnership and empathy from others.

Medusa in the 8th house:  with this placement, you may encounter challenges in your intimate life due to being oversexualized. Loved ones might underestimate your pain, assuming you're always strong. Expressing yourself is often met with dismissal or minimization of your trauma. Your interactions can be intense and alluring, sometimes leading to obsessions, especially in intimate relationships. You tend to attract controlling individuals and even stalkers, people that usually want to know all your secrets. Some may envy your constant transformation, which can lead to competition or backbiting. Transformation comes for owning your sexuality and being in control of your finances. Remember, your personal growth is something to be proud of, despite others' negativity.

Medusa in the 9th house: your profound wisdom and exceptional intelligence often set you apart. While your deep knowledge and unique beliefs may not always find immediate acceptance, they are a testament to your unwavering commitment to your values. You naturally challenge cultural and religious norms; your spiritual journey is highly transformative and you usually hide your spiritual beliefs. It's important to recognize that your wisdom and spiritual insights have the potential to inspire and enlighten others, even when they struggle to fully comprehend your perspective.

Medusa in the 10th house: can create a unique journey in your work environment, where you might unknowingly trigger feelings of jealousy and face unkind energies from others. Your public image tends to be captivating, but this can occasionally result in clashes with government or legal matters. Challenges in your career and with authority figures are not uncommon with this placement, as there may have been expectations from your father for you to follow in his footsteps. As you age, you're likely to discover a growing sense of personal power and influence. It's important to recognize that these experiences have shaped you, and they offer opportunities for personal growth and transformation.

Medusa in the 11th house: you might keep your dreams and ambitions hidden because of the jealousy and envy you witnessed from your friends during your early years. Your upbringing might have exposed you to less-than-ideal community conditions, which may have led to toxic friendships and betrayals from people you considered friends. However, you do have genuine friends who share interests in astrology, spirituality, or religion with you, and these connections are meaningful. People might judge you or be envious, but this likely stems from their own insecurities. You're resilient and have the potential to make a positive impact on your community and the world in your own unique way.

Medusa in the 12th house: you might have experienced a pattern of encountering hidden adversaries in your life, which could be tied to karmic elements. This placement could also suggest a tendency to turn to intoxicants, like alcohol, which might symbolize a form of personal poison. Many with this placement may feel a strong bond with water elements, often expressing it through tattoos or jewelry featuring water symbols, seashells, or even snakes. Vivid snake dreams can serve as cautionary messages, urging vigilance against hidden adversaries. Your spiritual pursuits might be perceived as disruptive to community and family norms, causing some to view you as a threat due to your ability to see through deception when others can't.  Balancing vulnerability, self-protection, skepticism, and warmth highlights the need for compassion when confronting hidden traumas and fears in this placement.

ceto, the sea goddess (asteroid 65489)

Keto is the daughter of the titans Pontus and Gaea. As a primordial being, Keto was meant to represent the dangers of the sea. Infamously, she is known for having marriage Phorcys with whom she had the Phorcydes, also known as the monsters of the sea - Gorgons (Medusa included), Echidna, Ladon, Graeae, etc. IN MY OPINION Ceto in your chart can represent a) how you are seen as evil, b) what you produce that others find evil, c) your fertility, and/or d) your relationship with the ocean and its darkest depths.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of ceto along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of ceto AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede ceto!

OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS: gaea (1184) and medusa (149)!

hii, can u do a luke castellan x fem daughter of hypnos where she is a spy for him after he left the camp and they reunite in princess andromeda pls

Thank you so much for your request!

Luke Castellan x fem!hypnos!reader fluff

Requested?: Yes!!

You were one of the firsts that were supposed to join the Titan Army on the Princess Andromeda. Till now, you stayed in the camp as a spy but with you being Luke's girlfriend, the gods kept a close eye on you at all times. It was only a matter of time till your cover would have been blown.

Ethan left a few days prior to you, Chris and Silena were still in the camp, staying behind to supply your army with intel. Tonight was your turn. It was the night after the last capture the flag game and after the campfire everyone fell into bed exhausted.

A while after curfew, you rose from your bed silently. You kept up a slight sleeping aura up around you to keep your cabin mates sleeping. You wore dark blue jeans, sneakers and a black zip-up hoodie. With the hood pulled up and your backpack around your shoulder, you slowly opened the door.

Avoiding any noises you stepped on the grass next to the gravel path. The camp was nearly dark, except for a few cabins that were lit by different coloured torches. The grass was wet under your feet and you put on some gloves.

You let your gaze wander across the camp and checked your sword on your belt. After that, you started to make your way down the path. You snuck around behind the Hephaestus cabin that was glowing in a soft orange light.

Originally, you wanted to take a pegasus to the Princess Andromeda but since you learned that Percy had the ability to talk to horses, you were worried that maybe the other pegasi would snitch to him when they noticed you in the staple.

You snuck by the Apollo cabin since they all had a very deep sleep when the sun dipped below the horizon. Through the window you could see soft fairy lights glowing over the occupied beds. Silently, you made your way past the cabin. The oil lamps were swinging in the wind and mist covered the ocean and the beach.

Percy had put up white cloths to stop the fog from entering his mostly open cabin. The atmosphere hanging over the camp was eerie. You know who's fault this was. Phorcys and Aigaios had pulled up a tight curtain of mist to cover your journey from the god's eyes.

You stumbled down the hill behind Camp Halfblood and reached the street. And finally, there she was. Nemesis was leaning against a tree, smoking a cigarette. Her red leather jacket was open and she looked up at the sky with a disapproving look in her eyes. As she noticed your steps, she put her cigarette out and turned around to you.

"My favorite niece finally made it." She said with a smirk. "Ready?" You nodded eagerly. "Yes. Let's go." She took your hand. "Close your eyes and try to not throw up on me, will ya?"

You swallowed down your nervousness and nodded. "Sure." You mumbled and before you could say another word, the two of you had already disappeared into the shadows.

The shadow travelling did make you feel nauseous and you tried really hard to not ruin Nemesis' jacket. Luckily, your trip only took you a few moments until you ended up on the metal floor of a ship.

The waves were hitting high against the railing and salty wet water splashes were hitting your face. Nemesis helped you up. "Come on, kid. Let's get inside." You followed her stumbeling to the lower deck, fleeing from the grey sky and the wind.

"Welcome on the Princess Andromeda." Nemesis said with a wide smile. "Stairs up through the door is Luke's room. Have fun, be safe." The goddess said smirking before she disappeared into the shadows again.

You rolled your eyes and took a moment to settle back down in your body. After that, you approached Luke's room. You knocked softly on the door and after that opened the door impatiently.

Right as you stepped into the room, you were pulled into a tight embrace. Your gaze met blue soft tshirt cloth.

"Hey, my princess." Luke whispered into your ear. "You finally made it." You nodded and leaned your forehead against Luke's chest. "Finally." Luke smiled widely. He pulled you in a sweet kiss and you wrapped your arms around his neck.

"Did someone saw you?" He asked. You shook your head. "No, everything went smoothly." Luke hugged you even tighter, his hands roaming over your back. You snuck your face under his chin and kissed his pulse point. "Missed you." You mumbled into his skin.

With the nervousness suddenly leaving your body, you sank against Luke. "I'm tired." You whispered. Luke chuckled. "Come on, i made a bed for you." You perked up a little, nesting was always something that could cheer you up.

Luke took your hand and guided you over to a small room with a double bed inside. Luke had arranged a few square pillows around the bed and blankets were drapped over the matress. The bedding all was in dark colours, a lot of purple and midnight blue.

You smiled excitedly and you fell onto the bed. Luke approached you and gently started to take off your gear and your sneakers.

After he was done, he dropped on the bed next to you and you pulled a soft blanket over the two of you. Your hands stroked over the fluffy material. It was just how you liked it and just like the blanket that you stole from Luke when you two first started spending the nights in the same bed.

You were now laying with you, face close to Luke's, laying one of your hands on his cheek lovingly. "I love you so much. You always look out for me." You whispered and leaned in for a soft kiss.

"Everything for my princess." He whispered back against your lips. He wrapped his arms around you tightly and you nuzzled under his chin, being shielded away from the world.

Just Luke and you.

Hopefully it could stay like this.
