Hi So as you might have guessed, I don’t think I’m going to update this blog anymore. I had an amazing time with it and a lot of fun, but I got caught up in a lot of other stuff and by the time I had time to return the motivation wasn’t there. 

I do want to thank everyone who participated though. This was the first time I had put my writing in a public space and the response was so encouraging. 

I’ve actually still been working on this concept and am planning to write it into a book. It has changed a bit though. For one the setting is not contemporary but rather a post-apocalyptic one. With the new title of “Gods of the Apocalypse”. Characters are still pretty much the same though. I’m so excited to get to work on it but considering how close it is to my heart I may wait until I’m a more experienced writer to actually write the books. 

I have a lot of other story ideas though, and I’m actually deep at work at my creative writing degree at my college. In fact I won a fairly prestigious award recently and got to join a very cool fellowship, so my writing may actually end up going somewhere (fingers crossed!). 

If I do ever publish Gods of the Apocalypse and this site is still up I’ll make sure to let whoever is still seeing this know. 

Again I just want to thank all of you who followed and kept up with this, it truly meant a lot. I especially want to thank the ones who drew the couple pieces of fanart (or it could all be the same person). I still have the New Bacchus anon posted to my wall over my desk (which looks exactly the same after 4 years). Getting that kind of response is something I will always remember, and I am eternally grateful to you all. 

That is about it really, if you guys want to send any final questions to Nat and Rina I will 10000000000% answer them cause I still have their poses saved on this laptop (feels like almost nothing has changed sometimes lmao). 

Other than that, one last thank you to everyone. I’ll make another one of these when/if I get the book published. 

Hope you’re all doing wonderful

P.S. if any of the anonymous fan artists wanna reach out and say hi I’d love to thank you personally

Hiatus

//hey y’all I know I haven’t updated in awhile but just wanted to let you know I’m probably not going to update on this blog anymore, or at least for a long while. In a very bad place atm and can’t really write anything I’m happy with, nor do I want to bring that kind of energy into what is a fairly light hearted blog. I’m really blown away by all the positive attention it’s gotten, and how much y’all interacted with it (the memes were very appreciated) but I don’t think I can continue with it. Thank you so much for the support and I hope y’all have a great day.

[callingnewolympus]

Give me any content you produce in any format you want. Make it shadow puppets, I don't care. I just want to see more cool stuff

Oh my gosh!!!!! Thank you so much, and stick figure Rina and Nat that I just drew on my folder thank you too

[callingnewolympus]

Hey!!!!! Announcement

(So I kinda wanna make this blog a general blog for stuff in this universe? Meaning I still wanna answer asks, but I also want to post things like short stories, comics, and any general content related to these characters. Reply/Reblog with how’d you feel about that. If you would instead like me to make a separate blog from this one with general content then let me know)

If there were two guys in a secret lair and one of them killed the other with a chair would that be fucked up or what?

Gods....that really would be fucked. 

Ok I think we’ve established one of these people’s memes, which happens to also be one of ours? Also they have memes?

Who would have thought 

[callingnewolympus]

Okay but how hard are you swinging these chairs? Hard enough to break them or hard enough to just dent them, and what are they made of? Steel? Wood? Plastic? A bunch of twigs duct taped together?

We’re talking metal, WWE grade folding chairs. Hard enough to dent the chair itself into a useless state. 

[callingnewolympus]

Is that really the good way to go about things? "The world is slowly burning, so we may as well do a thing might make it combust outright." That just feels like, really irresponsible to not even have a backup plan

No I think you might be confused. That is the backup plan. Our current plan is to fight the gods and take their power. 

And if for whatever reason, we can’t do that, the world would be better off without them. We could also find a way to lock them away, something like that, so at least they can’t influence our world anymore. 

Hmm. That’s not a bad idea. I’ll have to look into that. 

[callingnewolympus]

So did Pan invent Panic or should I blame Pandora for my anxiety?

If Pan is the person who invented it, then killing him will hopefully cure my anxiety disorder 

And my sleep paralysis 

What

What 

[callingnewolympus]

So you're saying Pan is going to become my father in law?

See? SEE? 

Yes Pan will become your father in law

When will you learn that your actions have consequences?

[callingnewolympus]

Do you have any little known historical trivia regarding Gods? Like "oh actually the Eifle Tower was made by Hephastus as a back scratcher but the French just decided to keep it"

No I’m afraid we have very little inf-

ACTUALLY, Rina...we do know one thing

What are you-

No. Don’t you dare

I’m gonna do it

You know what you are going to unleash. You know the world cannot handle the information you are about to release

I know. And I’m gonna do it anyway

Mothman is not only real, but he’s also the demigod son of Pan

What hell have you unleashed 

[callingnewolympus]

//oh before I forget new profile picture for the blog done by the wonderful @stars-scales-and-baseball-caps go check him out he is amazing

//aaannnddd when the Nat introduction event is over the equally wonderful @everyone-needs-a-hoopoe​ created a brand new profile picture for the blog! Their art is great go check them out

Aren't you concerned about what sort of effects locking up a god would do if you had no replacement? Presumably, if a god has to manage something, let's use the ocean for example, getting rid of that god could potentially cause it to either shut off ocean currents,or go wildly out of control and start tossing hurricanes everywhere

Honestly...the world already seems pretty fucked?

Ice is melting, oceans are heating up, governments are becoming incredibly corrupt, human rights are being violated, wildlife is dying and going extinct, people are starving all over the world, and that’s not even half of it

We figure that if this is the world that we have with the gods in control...the world is better off without their influence

Even if we can’t replace them

They really deserve to die too. They are awful and if they were mortal they’d have been put to death

That too, Rina 

[callingnewolympus]

Do you have any duplicate god candidates in your fold? Like two Hades fighting for the spot?

Thankfully we haven’t yet, there are only 8 of us so we have not had to fight over spots. 

In the event however we would have them share the domain. Unless they have a change of heart and would want to fix another of them. 

No reason we can’t have two gods of the same thing. 

[callingnewolympus]

Do you have any data on how common each type of Demigod is? Like "Zeus has the most children, while Hades has the least"

Unfortunately no such data exists right now. Many demigods are scattered across the world and have no affiliation with us or the Spartans. However from what data we do have, Zeus has had a significant amount of children.

What is more interesting however, is that the power varies wildly between demigods of the same parent. 

I’ve fought many demigods throughout our adventures, and a lot of them weren’t any more powerful than a mortal. 

[callingnewolympus]

So if you can kill a god and take their power, does that mean any random mortal could kill a demigod and take their power?

We are not exactly sure if that is how it works. We are still figuring out how to replace the gods right now. For all we know we cannot and the best we will be able to do is lock them away so they can no longer influence our world

Which of course, is not a perfect solution. But if the world is no longer controlled by a bunch of petty assholes, I think it will become a better place. 

[callingnewolympus]

Wait, if you don't know what we are then why are you so open with us? For all you know we're Spartans trying to learn your secrets. I'm pretty sure you even told us about a mission your friends were currently on?

I built this transmitter so it could not be picked up by anything on Earth. I do not know exactly where your signal is coming from but it’s not coming from anywhere on this planet. 

Plus it’s not like any of you are gonna rat out what we’re doing to the Spartans

Or rather, you don’t have any way to rat out what we’re doing to the Spartans
