Scorpio—dating a Greek MC and meeting her family in Greece

Genre: fluff

Warnings: none

A/N: I received a request, asking me to write a headcanon of Scorpio with a Greek MC. 😭🇬🇷💙🤍 Which is heavily inspired from @colourless-hydrangeas 's Teorus × Desi Reader post (I adore when people insert their cultures into their self inserts, because all cultures are beautiful 😭😭❤️❤️❤️). Also, this headcanon ended up coming out as a self insert, because I am Greek lol. Enjoy!!💙🤍💙🤍

That's ⬇️ the temple of Poseidon, btw. It's located in Sounion. I've been there. It's beautiful. I was looking for the pictures I took myself, but I can't find them. So have one from Pinterest instead. 😭😭

You think Scorpio has anger issues??? Have you seen a Greek on the road???

MC's grandma will see him and say how beautiful he is and then her mom will go: "Spit him! You'll give him the bad eye!" And then grandma will proceed to say "ftou ftou" and move her three fingers in a cross motion.

If he starts yawning during dinner, people will say he has a bad eye and the grandma will call some cousin of hers for "xematiasma". Then, she'll hung up and tell Scorpio not to sleep, until the xematiasma is done, or else the bad eye will get worse. 🧿

20 minutes later—"Scorpio, my boy, shift in your chair for the xematiasma to work."

He's a new face entering a Greek household. Which automatically means, everyone screaming (like Greeks always do) and panicking, because the food needs to be a culinary masterpiece, because a Greek's pride and honour, is the ✨food✨.

Scorpio soon finds out that he can basically convince his Greek girlfriend of anything if he goes through her stomach.

His plate will be so full, the contents are rivaling the Burj Khalifa in height.

"Grandma, maybe he doesn't want to eat that much—" "Shut up. He's so THIN! And if he doesn't want to eat everything, I'll pack them in a bowl and he can take it home."

If he's coming to Greece during Easter, MC will have to warn him about the numerous stern faces eyeing him to see his first reaction to Magiritsa.

One time I ate 3-4 plates of Magiritsa in one sitting and then I slept and snored like a fucking monster. So if he doesn't want it, meh. More for me.

A grandpa who never finished elementary school and wants to teach Scorpio about the different dialects in all parts of Greece, of course, cannot be missing from this table.

EVERYONE at the table is going. "Scorpio, do you want Feta?" "Scorpio, do you want wine?" "Tzatziki?" "You ate your feta, you want more?" "You want music?" "That lazy daughter of mine forgot to give you more feta?! (Name)!! Quit eating with ten jaws and give your boyfriend some feta!"

(Name): *whispering to Scorpio*: "For the love of god, if you say you don't want any more Feta, the table will explode and the eldest will die of a heart attack. Just suck it up. Gods can eat a lot. It's okay."

And of course everyone is yelling.......... Because that's what ✨🇬🇷Greeks🇬🇷✨ do.

MC will also have to warn Scorpio before hand that, if suddenly, her grandparents start throwing plates and glasses on the floor and breaking them... He must not worry. That's how they're having fun.

If Scorpio breaks something by accident, they'll just say it's "Gouri" (good luck) and pat his arm.

Also... Lots of politics and swearing. And anger.

So much anger.

So much yelling.

Now, judging people based on their country's stereotypes is not okay........ BUT, AS A GREEK, I CAN PROMISE YOU, WE GREEKS ARE THE STEREOTYPES!! SO YOU HAVE MY BLESSINGS TO BELIEVE ANY STEREOTYPES YOU HEAR ABOUT US. BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL TRUE

"Μαλάκα" = Malaka = a Greek's favourite word to use everywhere, in any order. A word that defies grammar and gender and everything in between. ✨Malaka✨

Also, "μούτζα" = "moutza". It's basically a vulgar gesture where you keep your fingers spread and your palm out and you point it to a person....... Here's a video about it.

Plus, a big talk about Greece's history, starting from Ancient Greece and going through all the wars and the national days, our traditions and EVERYTHING.

"Idk what this useless daughter of ours has told you, but have you ever heard of the Kalikatzari that come during Christmas and cause havoc in the kitchen? So it's a Greek tale, about Jesus and—"

Scorpio will be enjoying all sorts of traditional dishes. Like. Gemista, Saganaki, pasta with Kima, SEA FOODS!!!!, a BUNCH of meat to last a lifetime, Dolmadakia, Spinach Pie, Cheese Pie, Magiritsa.

+ if he's coming during Christmas: Melomakarona and Kourabiedes.😭✨🙏✨😭 And Vasilopita😩✨

AND SOUVLAKI!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF A VISITOR DOESN'T EAT SOUVLAKI THEY'RE NOT LEAVING GREECE OMGGGGG!!!!

"Let me tell you about olives—" 🫒

Have you noticed that I'm just talking about food this whole time and Scorpio meeting her family around a table?..... What did I tell you about Greeks being all about food???

Also, if Scorpio and MC decide to leave, her mom will 10000% yell say "BRING A JACKET WITH YOU!!!" Is it 40°C outside??? Yes. Will she still tell you to bring a jacket with you??? Yes.

Basically...

We're loud.

We have WAY too much anger to fit in a mere mortal body.

Too much cheese and meat in EVERY. SINGLE. DISH.

And did I mention; WE'RE LOUD AND ANGRY!!! :DDDDDDDD

And we're BIG, HUGE foodies.

But we're welcoming. And warm. And it doesn't matter where you come from, a Greek will love to show you their culture and will consider you part of our already huge enough families the moment you learn to say "Malaka".

...

And they'll feed you until you pop like a bomb. :DDDDD✨✨✨✨

Until next time I want Souvlaki BYEE!!!!!😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹🌹❤️❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹

HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEH

What if MC gave each god a Tamagotchi?

Okay this stems from @star-crossed-mid's discord server where due to one convo there I mentioned that it would probably be a terrible idea to give Ichthys a Furby, but then I was thinking back to the Heavenly Pleasure's (special story) prologue where the gods had no idea what video consoles were and that giving them any interactive toy therefore might be a bad idea (and how I was worried about Dui maybe crying if his Tamagotchi pet died)

Then I started thinking on the other gods, so here have this nonsense...

After deciding to sort out her apartment, MC comes across her childhood Tamagotchi and finding that it still works after putting batteries in it, decides to take it with her to the mansion...

ZYGLAVIS

MC might not even be aware that he was taking in everything she was rambling about the device she had bought with her and how they were a massive fad once upon a time but when she ends up leaving it there, well, he takes things extremely seriously. He makes sure to set up a schedule for it even.

Later, when Scorpio asks why there was apparently a five minute gap in their statistics when Zyglavis would normally be working using his personal reflecting pool, the Head of Punishments would mutter something about he 'had to feed the dog' and maybe make Scorpio think that perhaps Zyglavis had really overworked this time and insist he go back to the mansion right that second and get some rest instead of working

Then Zyglavis would agree because he 'needs to get the dog back to [MC] anyway'

Which would just leave Scorpio with more quetsions. Who the hell would bring a dog from the human world up to the heavens anyway and since when did [MC] have one?!

SCORPIO

Scorpio would claim that he couldn't see the point in the toy that MC was explaining to him, or why anyone would want to look after a virtual thing that couldn't do anything in return. Though the idea that it couldn't leave the confines of the screen might appeal as a punishment next time Ichthys dared to fill his bed with something.

However, when MC forgets it when she leaves, Scorpio takes great care to make sure it stays alive, fretting over what will happen if he doesn't get it back to her before something goes wrong, but keeping it hidden in his bedside cabinet cos hell if he's letting any of the others find out about this.

He'll then play it off as having been way too easy to keep the stupid thing happy as he hands it back to MC when she returns to his room a while later, but they both know.

KRIOFF

Krioff wouldn't really get it. He'd be curious because MC is the one showing him it and it is an Earth item after all. He's the one who goes straight after her if she leaves it at the mansion, not trusting himself to do everything she said you had to do with it. Besides, he'd rather see her smile again at the strange pixelated dog chasing a stange pixelated ball.

DUI

Dui is immediately intrigued by the device. You can carry a cute little pet everywhere you go? And as it's an item not a living being that probably means he can take it up to the heavens with no problem at all!

MC happily lets him have it and for a while everything is fine. Though as the virtual pet gets more demanding, and Dui starts to worry that he might be missing something Shadow Dui decides to take matters into his own hands and tries to teach the virtual dog some obedience.

When MC next sees him after that, she realises she hasn't seen him take the Tamagotchi out in the time she's there and when she asks about it he looks away sadly from her and says he doesn't want to talk about it.

Realising what's likely happened, she reassures him that it's fine and gets him to give her the device back and starts a new game.

Dui manages a more natural smile, but tells her he doesn't want to play with it anymore, not unless there's a way to have an immortal pet. This new virtual dog may look the same, but it isn't his dog anymore.

PARTHENO

There's one of two ways I can imagine Partheno's encounter with a Tamagotchi going

He'll inappropriately ask whether there's a version where the digital pet is a human

For some reason there's now a mode where you can dress the dog up with accessories

ICHTHYS/AIGONORUS

Why is there a giant dog suddenly running around the mansion?! And why does it look like that?!

(Ichthys made the dog real because he thought it'd be funny, and decided it'd baffle the others more if it still looked like the digital dog. Aigonorus was trying to be helpful - he was worried that the tiny screen space wouldn't be anywhere near large enough for the poor creature but he didn't think about what it would look like out of the device. If he had he would have at least given it fur so he could hug it. Harsh 2d lines looked like they'd be really hard).

LEON

Leon doesn't get it. At all. He's initially going to refuse even looking at such a waste of time and to tell MC to stop bothering him if all she's going to do is talk about old trinkets but then as they're in the living room Zyglavis happens to overhear their conversation and a snide remark from him implying that the only reason Leon will not even touch the Tamagotchi is because he does not have the leadership to take the responsibility for such a creature.

The head of Wishes' demeanour changes instantly at that and he grabs the Tamagotchi, determined to prove the other wrong and that this would be 'the longest time anyone has ever got a stupid virtual pet thing to live'

It goes reasonably well whilst MC is there but pretty soon after she has to leave for the evening, it dies.

Leon tries to work out how to start a new game and frantically get back up to what the dog looked like before but even though he manages to start a new game he forgets about it whilst dealing with something else and it dies again.

It's at this point he starts a game up again and this time he palms the device off to Hue demanding that it is extremely important that it remain alive whilst he carries out some other tasks, but if the other dare mention this to MC he'd regret it.

Huedhaut would sigh and look at him and ask simply why he doesn't just use his powers to get it back to how it looked before.

That makes the Head of Wishes pause. Why hadn't he considered that? Was it because that felt like cheating? But wasn't he cheating anyway?

Grabbing it back from Huedhaut, he would leave without another word to the other and go and finally admit the truth to MC. When she offers to take it back, however, he shakes his head and says he's determined to at least give it one more try.

In the end, it's Karno who begs MC to take it back off Leon cos the other is using it as an excuse to avoid the paperwork.

KARNO

Karno is happy to look after the virtual pet for MC whilst she's at work, and may even gush to the others about how it makes him feel close to her whilst she's not present, but he doesn't have the confidence to take it from her entirely. He's happy to be there to lend a hand with anything though, no matter how ridiculous it may seem to the other gods. He wants to be there for his MC.

TEORUS

Teo would try to listen to MC explaining to him about the device but get rather irritated that she was looking at the small screen instead of him.

In the end his patience would probably snap and he'd take the chance next time she looked up to move her focus onto him with a kiss, whilst at the same time throwing the Tamagotchi across the room.

Later, the device would beep a few times and eventually distract Teorus enough to go and look at it.

When he picks it up and sees a strange message across the screen he turns to MC and asks her about it.

She takes it back from him, mutters that that screen means the pet's dead, and then her phone just happens to go off at that point - Hiyori's messaged her that they need extra help at the planetarium.

So she leaves without explaining to Teorus that you can just start from the beginning with a new pet, and the other spirals into worry that it was his fault and that he's really upset her and he hadn't meant this to happen, he'd just wanted some time with her without any outside distractions.

He turns up to her apartment later to apologise, and MC explains, showing him the now working again Tamagotchi.

Teorus now thinks digital pets are more powerful than gods.

TAUXOLOUVE

He finds the idea of a virtual pet cute, but he worries over the small device and that his hands may not be the best to deal with the tiny buttons. Regardless of that he still tries and despite selecting the wrong menu option a few times he does reasonably well.

However, he's not particularly interested in continuing with the device for a long amount of time, he'd much rather hear about what other fond memories MC has of the times before they met, as he didn't really make many memories himself. Besides he'd much rather find out about all the interesting things the Earth has to offer with her: not just because he wants to spend time with MC, but because he wants to know more about his other world.

HUEDHAUT

He'd probably be happy to see MC's reaction to explaining something she's had for quite a long time, but he may also get rather exasperated at her rather hesitant explanation, eventually pointing out that maybe she was forgetting which god she was talking to.

When he actually has the device he'd probably be more interested in the electronics and how humans had managed to make such an item without powers rather than the virtual pet itself. If he's done any research about electronics I'd imagine he'd look into whether he could do anything with it.

Next time MC sees him, she asks how come the dog was now a cat and the other would tease her for a bit with comments like "I thought as you were such an expert on this little device that you would know about the hidden mode where you can select other animals." before finally admitting to her that he had changed it.

Before surprising her further by clarifying (after she seemingly gets annoyed that Hue of all people supposedly cheated with his powers) that he programmed an entire new one and MC's Tamagotchi is actually on the bookshelf behind him.

------------------------------------------------

A/N: Uh... yeah I dunno what this is. 😅 Hopefully you enjoyed this nonsense. Oh and the Tamagotchi is a dog in my ramblings here because I had a 101 Dalmatians one at one point.

Thinking about it I could actually see MC having had a Tamagotchi - I mean if she's in her mid-twenties in 2015 (which is when SCM is set judging by what others have said in the past in the discord 😅), if we say she's exactly 25 that would mean she was born in 1990, two years after me - so Tamagotchi's must be around the right time for her as well.
