I'm like half-certain/half-projecting that Athena Complex!Poseidon's AroAce or on the spectrum. It just feels so very coded to be that way. Even with Metis and Amphitrite, it still feels like he's AroAce with the whole avoiding marriage things

Ohoho!!! I haven't actually caught up with the series for a few months now and forgot some key details 😭😭 adhd hyperfixations love ringing my doorbell then running away as a prank. When I reread it, I think using that perspective could be really interesting. I'll probably come back to this later. Thank you for the idea!!

Why You Should Check Out Athena Complex by Kaisar on Webtoon.

You may be asking? Hey, hey Zesty. What the fuck is Athena Complex. Why are you fixated on it?

Athena Complex is. Complex.

Ok so like Athena has some parental (daddy) issues and projected it onto Poseidon and assumed she was in love with him. Through the sheer power of miscommunication Poseidon gets sentenced to reincarnate into a mortal for like the rest of time because he started a rebellion. Then Athena, who is like. Very much not in any sort of healthy emotional space decides that no she is not mourning him she wants revenge so she disguises herself as a teenage guy (real cisgender of you Athena but like there's also some inferiority complex about her body coming in here) and hunts down Poseidon's reincarnation to take her revenge. Something about breaking his heart through the power of really super good friendship. Adrian, who is Poseidon but not Poseidon since he doesn't remember being Poseidon, is like very confused but kinda just. Rolls with it? There's something about like a curse there but I cannot tell you the specifics of it to save my life.

The first season may be messy and the second season isn't completely perfect either, but it's entertaining.

Other things this series has to offer:

- is this family ok? NO

- the absolute most crack stuff

- really deep emotions in recent chapters (like the second season has an insane quality increase it is worth it)

- totally cishet behaviour (half of it is projection while the other half is like. Kinda right there. Its confusing)

- some really interesting and cool interpretations of the Greek gods I've never really seen before. This is coming from someone who devours Greek Mythology inspired content like I'm a vacuum and it's the little dust particles underneath furniture. For example, Apollo leans WAY more into the medicine god persona. He's more serious and older brother like. They actually treat Hera like she's complex here too. Not in a "forgive her" type of way but in like a "this is why she's like this." Actually, that's all the characters really.

- pomeranian ares (I'm not kidding)

- some really cool metaphors

- world building. Like. A lot. Mostly in the second season.

Is it perfect? Absolutely not. There are many things I wish the series could handle better or completely leave out. Some wording is awkward and I can't tell if it's because of translations or not. But like, that's standard for webtoons. I don’t see many people talking about this series and if I must drag people down into this hyperfixation with me I will.

One thing about Greek mythology inspired media is that, no matter what, it will always make me hate Zeus. You can make me sympathise with literally almost anyone but him.

Are any of you guys still here we should interact

[athenacomplexfanaccount]

I had a feeling Athena kind of mistook her love for Poseidon as romantic when she just wanted a dad but like. With these recent updates I'm like 98 percent sure. I'm really hoping Athena doesn't end up with Poseidon and instead comes to terms with her feelings. I don’t think I'd exactly mind Adrian and Athena together though, if Athena can learn that Adrian is NOT Poseidon. He has his soul but they are very much different. I really hope Athena and Poseidon/Adrian's relationship is handled well in the end.

Being in a tiny fandom is always being stuck between “I wish more people knew about this thing” and “I know exactly what problematic elements of the story and annoying discourse topics are going to consume the fandom if more people find out about this thing”

I haven't abandoned you my friends I'm just VERY behind on webtoons
