[ thank you to everyone who had fun writing with this blog! :) Didn't wanna make a separate post for this but this was never meant to get big lol- just something a bored teenager did for fun. No longer gonna write here <3 ]
Ah... does this work?
Um, well... I can't tell if it is, but... My name is Ganymede, and I'm the cupbearer of the gods. I uh, I look forward to receiving messages! From... whoever you are...
WARNING: This blog contains themes of kidnapping, sexual assault, pedophilia & other dark themes associated with the Ancient Greek myth of Ganymede & Greek Mythology as a whole. I will not attempt to sugarcoat, glorify, justify or (heavily) censor these themes. This blog is SFW, but sex will frequently be implied. PLEASE INTERACT AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.
About Mod / Mun: You can call me Maple or Ganymod / Ganymun! he/they. I made this blog to write about Greek Mythology while also fulfilling a childhood dream of mine to make a tumblr ask blog :) I may not always get to be as active here as I'd like, as I'm very busy with school... I'm completely new to Tumblr RP, but I'm very familiar with RP as a whole!
About Ganymede: 14-15 years old at the time of his abduction, and he has not aged since due to his immortality. Years have passed since his abduction, but he has lost count of how many. He/him pronouns & unlabeled sexuality. I write him with tanned olive skin, round green eyes and wavy / curly brown hair.
About this blog: This blog aims to stay mostly accurate to original Greek Mythology, but I take creative liberties here and there. This is like my own AU, basically. I intend to draw sprites and comics for this one day! For now though, as I improve my art, I'll be sticking to writing for now :)
NOTE: I love roleplaying with other RP blogs, but I'm not much of a fan of writing in reblog chains! I find them difficult to navigate and overwhelming. Please be patient with me!
Ask rules:
I won't respond any asks trying to stir drama, hate, or are generally controversial.
Don't be an asshole. Don't be a bigot.
In my AU / this blog, Ganymede and Zeus' relationship is an abusive and pedophilic one. I do not "ship" them, and I won't respond to any asks requesting cute / romantic stuff between them. I try to treat their relationship with the sensitivity and care it deserves- I ask you do the same.
Asks relating to modern retellings of Greek Mythology such as PJO / Epic the Musical / etc are welcome! Just keep in mind my AU is often different to them.
[Eva chuckled, in the background was the sounds of swords clashing]
This isn't like the one Hermes made. Hephaestus himself custom made it for me, the only god who can listen in is Iris and she doesn't like getting involved.
[Her voice seemed to tense at the mention of her dad]
Passionate....I guess that's a word you could use. I'd rather say protective, overbearing, suffocating....but yeah passionate works too.
And trust me, Zeus can't hear you on this line. If any unauthorized presence is detected on the call, the phones'll self destruct. All records of our conversation wiped.
Now of course, if Zeus catches you with the phone he won't need to hear the conversation to figure out what it's being used for so be careful nonetheless.
So! Just shoot me a call when you got something on your mind! Us forced immortal gotta stick together!
[a booming voice was in the background. Lord Ares to be exact]
EVAGELINE! COME HERE, GIRL!
[Eva groaned, the sound of her hitting something in frustration could be heard]
Sorry Ganymede, I gotta go. Dad's done sparing with Phobos, so now it's my training hours. Honestly it's not the shouting that pisses me off, it's the fact that he still calls me 'girl'. Like i know im stuck in an immortal state of 18 years old, but it's been thousands of years!
EVAGENLINE OF AEAEA, I'M NOT CALLING YOU AGAI-
ZEUS ALMIGHT I HEARD YOU THE FIRST FUCKING TIME!
[the call cut off]
Mhmm…
[ He yawns, still trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes ]
Ah… that's good…
[ …was it? Ganymede felt guilty for going behind Zeus’ back ]
“Ah, well…to sum it up, Zeus was the one that told my dad, Odysseus, to kill me, or I would kill him and everyone he loves. He chose to raise me instead, so…I don’t know how Zeus would react if he found out I’m still alive…”

Oh…
[ He frowned ]
That’s… so cruel…
[ He shook his head ]
Knowing the Lord, he probably already knows… you just… can’t keep a secret from him.
