。・ * ✧ ANOTHER NIGHTMARE , another morning near the ocean trying to recover . they’d been happening more frequently and they’d been getting worse – visions of the world in flames and giant shadows looming over all from the sky .. glimpses of familiar figures gathered around a golden coffin .. shades of red and grey echoing the depths of tartarus shifting and fading over mysterious voices , taunting her , taking over her . ❛ go away , ❜  she grumbled , sending someone’s presence behind her . ❛ i don’t know what you wan’t but i’m not going to breakfast and i don’t feel like training .. ❜ she anticipated with rush , pausing to let out a shaky breath , ❛ .. just leave me alone .. ❜  her voice breaking and tone lowering , ❛ please . ❜

。・ * ✧ WITH AN OLD MP3 PLAYER in hand and a pair of tangled earbuds hanging from his ears , nestor set his board down swiftly and loudly , setting off with a flourish . joy division and the smiths could be heard pouring out of the son of apollo’s headphones from probably three feet away , though he whooshed by so quickly on his board , the sound didn’t linger in any one place too long . the beats rendered him oblivious to his surroundings , just the way he liked it , except on the rare occasion something goes wrong and -- he put his foot down in a hurried attempt to break , jumping off and kicking his board up to catch with one hand before pulling out just one earbud . ❛ uhh , ❜ he started , sweating and breathing heavy . torn between a harsh watch where you’re going and the more friendly you okay ? , nestor went with , ❛ sorry . ❜ it was slow , almost hesitant and confused . ❛ i probably wouldn’t have actually hit you but , uh , you know .. better safe than sorry ?  ❜ eurythmics’s sweet dreams flowed from his headphones now -- though nestor didn’t stop it , only took out the second earbud before draping both around his neck , letting them hang as he thought of what to say next . ❛ so , uhh , where were you headed ? ❜

ARTEMIS ​.

— ♡ open starter.

         “ I must remain in Hythe for some time before we head west. “ Standing with her bare feet in the grass & a large wolf - like hunting dog resting leisurely by her legs , Artemis gazed ahead. To her left the calm sea was bordering the town & to her right the entry to the forest stood strong. Anyone normal might have assumed she was talking to herself , but those that knew of her were aware her gifts included communication with wild animals. Her head barely turned once she sensed another’s presence. “ We have company. “ The goddess informed the dog , her youthful face & silver eyes baring no single expression.  “ You may approach. “ 

。・ * ✧  THEY WERE TEMPTED to greet the other goddess with a sarcastic and over - dramatic thank you , but was admittedly a bit worried of how the goddess of the hunt would react . but that didn’t stop her from having any fun at all . ❛  BOO !  ❜ the goddess of spring giggled , putting a hand on artemis’s shoulder . ❛  did i scare you ?  ❜  they asked , beaming . persephone proceeded to sit down next to her in the warm grass , small flowers sprouting up around her the moment she did . ❛  soooo , what’cha up to ?  ❜ she asked , looking up .

( non-binary / she/they ) . — hey, isn’t that persephone ? they’ve supposedly been in town for six months because she wanted to spend her time out of the underworld someplace she could try to be of help , but that’s less interesting than the rumor going around that they’re three thousand+ and a goddess. i suppose it’s good that they’re so benevolent and sympathetic. it balances out their reticent and curious behavior. they’re siding with the gods . ╰ pomegranate lip balm & petting every dog you see .

I DON’T WANNA pretend hades wasn’t a creep and kidnapped her and that she’s his niece and .. u know .. but what i AM gonna do is give u all some fun persephone headcanons lets goooo

okay so .. at first persephone only agreed to go to help preserve nature but eventually she embraced both sides of her life .. guarding both death and life , winter and spring

in some tellings , persephone was almost rescued by hermes in the underworld but not before she ate pomegranate seeds which then made it so she must return , though could leave

i also think its cool to think she goes back willingly now whenever and that her doing so keeps the balance of the seasons like .. apollo / helios and the sun chariot stuff u know

there’s a tumblr post describing demeter as a granola mom and how persephone liked hanging w hades bc she could eat pomegranates w out her mom yelling abt how it impacts the environment bc its not local or something and .. i love that

so in my telling .. she ate it bc she was like “oh cool mom hates these” u know

and yeah she probably hates hades at times and rightfully so

in some tellings ig .. zeus like gave hades permission to take her like since thats her dad ig

i think its kinda fun to reimagine things a bit though and say that like yes it was weird but like .. what if she was secretly like .. intrigued by him u know

like .. idk i just like modern retellings where she’s a consenting wife u know like .. her and hades just kinda vibe and shes a badass

and YES she’s a badass anyways but u know

shes also a vegan

acai bowls and burts bees ?? vegan skincare ???

and just like most gods .. she also goes off and has kids and has flings w mortals

but hardly ever .. and hardly ever resulting in offspring of her own 

travels the world as a botanist and helps plant things all over 

probably helps build houses and stuff too 

SACRED ANIMALS AND PLANTS : pomegranate , narcussus , black rams , bats , monkeys , willow , lily && mint

✓ ryder mclaughlin. ( cis male / he/him ). — hey, isn’t that nestor pruitt ? they’ve supposedly been in town for three years , but that’s less interesting than the rumor going around that they’re twenty-one and a halfblood who has been claimed by apollo . i suppose it’s good that they’re so empathetic and gregarious trait. it balances out their taciturn and aloof behavior. which explains why their fatal flaw is low self-esteem. they’re siding with the gods. ╰ sneaking off to watch the sunset on the beach & the feeling of a bassline and kick drum in your chest .

FULL NAME : nestor alexander pruitt NICKNAME(S) : nes , nest , tori , pru AGE : twenty - one  DATE OF BIRTH : 7 june 1999 BIRTHPLACE : new york , california .. lived in san francisco GENDER : cis - male ( he / him ) HEIGHT : 5′9 HAIR COLOUR : dirty blonde , sometimes dyed  EYE COLOUR : a grey - ish blue - green / hazel   ORIENTATION : pansexual LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN : english , japanese , spanish , ancient greek , latin  ALLIGNMENT : the gods 

GROWING UP , nestor was always drawn to the arts .. he’d started a handful of garage bands , done school musicals , taken as many art classes as possible in school . his mother was a curator for a museum and was always painting and sculpting in her free time , music always playing around the house . it’s all nestor’s ever known and he’s got both parents to blame , though he doesn’t mind much .

besides the arts , however , nestor was drawn to skating and learning new languages from a young age .. the language thing was because his mom made him learn spanish from one of those rosetta stone - type things when he was a kid , but also because she spoke several because it helped with her job and nestor picked up on bits and pieces of french and italian , though took japanese in high school , already knowing what he thought was enough spanish . the skateboarding thing he got from some older boys at school , one of which ended up being the satyr who eventually guided him to hythe . 

despite loving languages so much , nestor hated to read . probably because he liked the details of the pictures in books .. he liked how both were works of art and how they worked together . that being said , nestor grew to love comic books and graphic novels , collecting too many to count . 

nestor lived his life before hythe in a surprising silence .. no major attacks from monsters , at least none he could remember , though looking back , he vaguely remembers a few close calls . life for the pruitts was just filled with art and sunshine .

☀️🎶🍃

IT WASN’T UNTIL his eighteenth birthday that nestor was guided to hythe .. just months before he was supposed to start college . though nestor didn’t really mind .. he didn’t even have any actual plans for college anyways . he thought about majoring in music , but always underestimated his own talents . that is , until being claimed by the god of music himself . accepting that he might actually have a natural talent for music because of his dad was probably the easiest thing to accept . well , that and how he’s never really broken any bones or sustained any real injuries despite all of his skating tumbles and collisions . must have something to do with apollo also being the god of healing . they had more in common than nestor liked to admit or could even see -- nestor wrote enough poems and songs to fill thousands of notebooks , though he never seemed to fill any up .. he had a knack for giving advice .. people were drawn to him .

however , nestor always kept to himself .. he saw himself as quiet and unapproachable , he envied the sun and its warmth and how it attracted everyone . he spends his free time basking in the warm rays , hoping that somehow he’d soak up its attributes and become more like it . 

some days , he hated his dad .. he hated he wasn’t him .. he longed to be more like him in every way , except one . because apollo is the god of diseases and plagues , nestor sometimes thought that was what he radiated rather than the essence of healing and light .. he thought it explained his dark eyes and he never saw himself as a golden beam of light like apollo 

☀️🎶🍃

LOW SELF - ESTEEM will be his downfall . lacking confidence in himself .. stuck in his own negative thoughts .. being hard on himself .. not accepting all that makes him great and being blind to all of it .

WANTED CONNECTIONS ...

✓ kathryn newton / ( cis female / she/her ) . — hey, isn’t that hazel speros ? they’ve supposedly been in town for eight years , but that’s less interesting than the rumor going around that they’re twenty and a halfblood who has been claimed by hermes . i suppose it’s good that they’re so buoyant and affable . it balances out their rebellious and frank behavior . which explains why their fatal flaw is recklessness . they’re siding with kronos. ╰ stolen designer accessories & a worn out pair of sneakers .

FULL NAME : hazel speros NICKNAME(S) : n/a AGE : twenty DATE OF BIRTH : 7 october 1999 BIRTHPLACE : side of the road , somewhere in Pennsylvania  GENDER : cis - female ( she / her ) HEIGHT : 5′4 HAIR COLOUR : blonde EYE COLOUR : green ORIENTATION : bisexual  LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN : english , ancient greek , latin  ALLIGNMENT : kronos

FOR THE FIRST twelve years of her life , hazel speros never had a real home --  she born on the side of a rode (  fitting , considering her who her father is  ) and was almost always either moving around for her mother’s job or being shoved into the care of another family member .

hazel’s mother was a journalistic and nature photographer for a famous magazine .. always on the move , always busy . it’s no wonder the god of travel and communication fell in love with her , once . it was also no wonder that she was often too busy for their own daughter . when she traveled to places too far off , her young daughter would be pawned off to one aunt or another for a few months .

that was , until she was in the sixth grade . the monster attacks came with middle school , and , though few and far between , were enough for her satyr to guide her to hythe and for her aunts and mother to become a distant memory .

👟💸🌿

FOR THE PAST eight years of her life , hazel has found a home in hythe , though she struggled with accepting the fact that her father , hermes , took in just about everyone else .. still leaving her to feel not at - home within her own new family sometimes .

though usually carefree and friendly , hazel loves to break the rules -- quite befitting of the daughter of the god of thieves and travelers . befriending everyone she can , though often pushing them away with her unintentionally harsh words .. honest to a fault .

recently , however , she’s been acting a little differently .. unaware and unable to control herself .  kronos . under his manipulation , she’s been forced to spy and do whatever the titan and his followers (  er , her superiors  ) ask . 

👟💸🌿

RECKLESSNESS will be her downfall . reckless with her actions , reckless with her words . when will she learn to look before she leaps ?

👟💸🌿

WANTED  CONNECTIONS  ...
