#siblings of war

[sarnai4]

This has been heavily on my mind for a while, so I finally want to make this post. Minor spoilers for "Siblings of War." I'd like to use this to describe how I see the different ways that Ares's siblings now view him.

Dionysus: I think he's the least hostile of them towards Ares, but he doesn't like him. At this point, Dionysus mostly believes that being around Ares causes problems, so he avoids him. Even when he can't, he uses others to decide how to respond (like how he waited for the others to decide if Ares was guilty or not). He views Ares as a control freak and isn't much of an aggressor himself, so he'd rather not be around him.

Apollo: He is more hostile, but he takes not being bothered to a higher degree. Apollo will avoid Ares even to the detriment of others (such as the older god's kids). Apollo has basically disowned him and Ares might as well be dead to him. He won't heal his brother or even acknowledge his existence unless he feels obligated to.

Artemis: She feels very bitterly towards Ares. To her, he's everything that she hates about men. She sees him as a mindless brute. Essentially, he's the antithesis to Apollo in her mind. She wants him to be taken down several notches at least and doesn't mind being directly involved in this.

Hermes: He thinks that Ares is a bully. With the war god being the eldest brother and the best fighter alongside Athena, Hermes sees him as a threat. To him, Ares uses his strength and skills to force the others to do what he wants. The first chance he gets, Hermes rebels against him. He loves the thought of Ares being humbled.

Hephaestus: Of them all, he hates Ares the most. All the resentfulnesss he feels for his parents not accepting him and his siblings moving on without him is directed towards his brother. He feels like Ares is cruel, manipulative, and wanted him to be viewed as the scum of Mount Olympus. He would go out of his way to make Ares miserable and has.

Athena: She's the one who can't fully forget what she shared with Ares. It's the reason why she tries to act so coldly now. Her friendship with her brother meant everything and she can't understand why it changed. She hates that, but she doesn't hate him. Despite that, she has had some of the most heated moments with him because of how far their relationship has fallen. She constantly feels hurt and betrayed by him, choosing to pretend to feel nothing so that he won't hurt her anymore.

Korkie is definitely Satine and Obiwan’s secret love child in my eyes. There is no way he’s satines “nephew” I mean we know he’s no Bo-Katan’s kid so…

see that theory's cool, but I'm personally a bigger fan of him being Satine's actual nephew and there being a third, normal Kryze sibling that we never see

Jason knew damian from the league BEFORE he knew he was his little brother and it is… so much worse

Okay so. listen.read.

jason todd. 17. freshly lazarus-pitted. feral. the human embodiment of “i lived bitch” with rage issues and a 72-hour insomnia streak. the league takes one look at this hot mess of trauma and goes “yes. this is exactly the energy we need in our murder boy band.”

enter: tiny baby assassin gremlin™ damian wayne. 6 years old. fluent in six languages, can kill you with a butter knife, has already named his sword and buried a man for disrespecting alfred the goat.

and someone. SOMEONE. in the league decides, “you know what would be funny? pair the murder toddler with the zombie disaster and see what happens.”

Heres how that went

ra’s: jason, your assignment is to supervise damian.

jason: you want me to babysit.

ra’s: guide.

jason: babysit.

ra’s: test.

damian (deadpan): i don’t need a babysitter. i need a better sparring partner. the last one cried.

jason: okay i like this kid.

they do missions together. which is to say, they cause crimes while technically completing the mission. jason teaches damian how to actually knock people out without breaking his own fingers. damian shows jason how to poison a blade using pomegranate juice and pure spite.

they bond over shared trauma and mutual hatred of everyone else. jason steals food for damian. damian teaches jason new ways to dismember people. it’s beautiful.

damian (6, holding a flaming knife): i’m going to defenestrate that man.

jason (17, holding a mango): hold on i’m eating.

damian: that’s MY mango.

jason: finders keepers.

[30 seconds later jason is bleeding and laughing]

but then jason leaves the league. rage. escape. redemption arc pending. damian stays.

and they don’t see each other for years.

until jason storms into the batcave like:

jason: not here to bond. just stealing med supplies. don’t talk to me or my trauma.

damian (offscreen): you dare show your face here, todd.

jason (freezes): oh my god. oh my god. i KNOW that voice. i KNOW that gremlin growl. there’s no fucking WAY

bruce (tired): jason, meet your little brother. damian.

jason (SCREAMING INTERNALLY): THAT’S MY EX-TINY MURDER ROOMMATE?!

damian (smirking): i see the pit didn’t fix your face.

tim (whispers): what is happening.

from that day forward: chaos.

damian starts following jason around like a very stabby duckling. calls him “akhi” in the most possessive tone known to man. sharpens jason’s knives without being asked. threatens the replacement on his behalf.

jason pretends to be annoyed but teaches damian how to make homemade explosives and saves him the last slice of pizza.

jason (grumbling): you’re still a brat.

damian: and you’re still emotionally unavailable.

jason (softly): shut up.

one day jason finds a drawing on his fridge.

it’s two stick figures. one has a red helmet. the other has a sword. they’re both labeled “BROTHERS – THREAT LEVEL: MAXIMUM.”

jason doesn’t talk about it. but he frames it.

bonus: group chat

dick: wait. you guys KNEW each other before this family?

jason: yeah. i babysat him once. worst two years of my life.

damian: i tried to stab him over a mango. it was glorious.

tim: that’s the most terrifying sentence i’ve ever read.

cass: ❤

bruce was like “you’re brothers now” and they were like “we BEEN brothers?? get on our level B/father”

@famouslysleepy 🥰🥰🤩🤩😍 Feeling SO amazed right now because of this art you made for chapter 17! Ahhhh! So much emotion in Athena's eyes. I love that the frown is this mix of anger and protectiveness. And the muscles 💪! Always love Buff Athena. It just makes sense. She's taking down opponents like it's nothing. Girlie is STRONG. Nobody messes with her little brother. Now, they've invoked the wrath of Athena😈.

Ahsoka matching her Big Brothers is something very important to me.

[zealfruity]

They’re friends to me. Riyo lends him her makeup+gets him clothes+buys him and his favourite vode treats, and Fox helps her get blackmail on political oponents+writing clone rights bills.
