be home with you

I'm a phoenix in the water A fish that's learned to fly And I've always been a daughter But feathers are meant for the sky So I'm wishing, wishing further For the excitement to arrive It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos Than laying at the sharp end of this knife With every small disaster I'll let the waters still Take me away to some place real 'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone It's where you go when you're alone It's where you go to rest your bones It's not just where you lay your head It's not just where you make your bed As long as we're together, does it matter where we go? Home Home Home Home So when I'm ready to be bolder And my cuts have healed with time Comfort will rest on my shoulder And I'll bury my future behind I'll always keep you with me You'll be always on my mind But there's a shining in the shadows I'll never know unless I try With every small disaster I'll let the waters still Take me away to some place real 'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone It's where you go when you're alone It's where you go to rest your bones It's not just where you lay your head It's not just where you make your bed As long as we're together, does it matter where we go? Home Home Home Home

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone It's where you go when you're alone It's where you go to rest your bones It's not just where you lay your head It's not just where you make your bed As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?

Welcome to Athens, [HESTIA]! It looks like they [DO NOT] remember their past life as a God. It is said that [SHE] has [COMPASSION] but also [OVERLOOKED]. Apparently they look like [GERALDINE VISWANATHAN] and they’re [FEMALE]

Hestia is the eldest of the Olympians, first born of Rhea and Kronos. And the youngest, the last to be rescued from his stomach when Zeus slew the Titan King. She sought no hand in marriage, she tends instead to the sacred flame of Olympus, keeping their home alight. She has a quiet strength, one that can be overlooked. 

Aesthetic:

Candle in the window for those who are far. A roaring fire in the cold winter night to chase the chill. A warm mug pressed into a tired hand. A kiss to make it better on the bandaid on your knee. Silent watcher, tending quietly. 

Aster is, as far as she knows, a mortal. She is a mum friend, a caretaker, protective. She is quick to adopt people into her family, protective of them and always ready to welcome you back. She manages a small family owned BnB, making the guests feel as welcome as she can.

Prior to Curse Anon: Do you ever wish you were a God of something more chaotic?

“Did you know that in our heyday, I presided over every hearth in every home? I didn’t have as many temples as my siblings, but I had every home. And a part of every feast was sacrificed to me.

“I think you underestimate the importance of the home and the hearth. The strength there. So, no. I don’t wish I were the God of something more chaotic. I don’t think I would be as good at it. And I think my job is important.”

[flammedufoyer]

Friends with the weakest among us? Makes you very weak as well.

“Then I’m weak. So be it.”

“Naw,” Maois drawled, making himself more comfortable against the pole he leaned against. “See, that’s the thing. I think you want people to think that’s who you are, and maybe it’s gotten to the point where you believe it too, but no person on this planet can keep it going all the time.” He shrugged with one shoulder. “It’s fine if you want to let that drop, coffee or no coffee.” He nodded towards the same cafe she did. “But no one alive is a good person, and frankly it’s impressively rude to attempt to pretend otherwise. Good work on that, by the way. So. Coffee?”

***

Now Aster was sure he was insulting her, and she frowned. “I don’t even know you. You don’t know me.” He made her unsettled, and she wanted him to leave her alone. Aster was kind, and she prided herself on having patience and being welcoming. But she also wasn’t about to be pushed over like this. People assumed she would be, to their own detriment. “I’m not pretending to be a good person. And quite frankly, if you think this edgy ‘no one is good’ act is more ‘truthful’ or ‘real’ than me trying to be kind or optimistic, then truthfully, I pity you. We all make a choice.”

NEW GIRL (2011 - 2018) ― 01.02 “Naked”

[flammedufoyer]

What really makes you angry?

"Disrespect and betrayal. Especially of the home. It is meant to be a place of refuge."

[flammedufoyer]

What do you like to do when it rains?

"You're going to think I'm a cliché of myself. But I like to sit by the fire with a warm cup of ambrosia. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of the home when the world feels less welcoming."

[flammedufoyer]

Anyone catch your eye this evening?

"Are you sure you meant to ask me that, my dear? No, not in the way that I think you meant. Everyone in attendance looked lovely but no."

[mabelleeva]

Erato sighed gently, her shoulders releasing a tension she hadn’t realized she was holding. Though an incurable romantic, Erato was no so naive as to believe such a large, opulent gathering of her fellow deities would go off without a hitch. Perhaps its why instead of writing or performing her pieces with her trusty lyre, she instead did her best at playing the gracious hostess, using her way with words to lower defenses and soften hearts that way. Such a task proved to be quite taxing, and she found herself in desperate need of Dionysus’s finest.

She’d only just reached the bar when a figure came up beside her. Whether or not they wanted her attention was irrelevant, as her doe eyes instantly locked with theirs and an easy smile graced her delicate features. “Merry meet dear one! Are you having a splendid time?” Erato inquired.

[flammedufoyer]

Hestia gave Erato a large smile. It had been the Muses who threw this party, but where there was a feast, people sharing food and hearth, there was Hestia. So she had has a hand in the party, because it was inevitable. She tried to step back, let the Muses do their thing, but she couldn’t help herself here and there. Still, they deserved the credit.

“It’s wonderful, Erato. You and your sisters did an amazing job.”

[psyche-in-love]

psyche sat back, giggling softly from the champagne in her glass. “this is so different from the mortal world. i think i like it more..”

[flammedufoyer]

Hestia smiled at the newer goddess. “I can only imagine,” she replied. Her domain gave her insight into people’s homes, less so now than in the past, but she had never actually lived a mortal life. Unlike Psyche. “I’m glad you like it more here.”

the-dionysus​:

‘Don’t tell anyone.’ He shushed her, taking her hand and moving them across the dancefloor with ease. ‘Thank you for obliging a kind young man.’ He grinned down at her as he pulled her closer and began to dance. ‘Now, tell me all about your lovers. I want to know every single detail.’ 

***

“I wouldn’t dare,” she teased. He danced with a grace most drunken people could not have. But Dionysus was not your regular drunk, Hestia knew. “Of course. Anything for you.” Hestia wouldn’t consider herself particularly good at dancing, but one picked up some over millennia alive. And she could mostly let Dionysus lead. “You are awful,” she admonished, still grinning. “I think we’d have much more to talk about if we spoke of your lovers.”

“But did you have anything to do with this? I know you’re not like…the party planner or anything, but you at least had something to do with the decor, right?”

[flammedufoyer]

Hestia grinned. “Not a lot, but I may have had a hand in it here and there. Making the place more... welcoming. But the muses did most of it.”

[the-dionysus]

‘Light the fires, Hestia! Tonight, we are dancing until we fall over!’ Dionysus was almost giddy with alcohol as he moved swiftly towards the Goddess. He grabbed her hand before twirling her on the dancefloor.

[flammedufoyer]

Hestia grinned, letting Dionysus take her hands. “You’ve been drinking all the wine,” she commented. It wasn’t a question, not given the night and who it was. “Alright, alright, I’m coming.” She twirled, laughing as she did. 

[flammedufoyer]

worstnemesis​:

“I…I guess that makes sense.” She didn’t want to seem completely outlandish, as she had been coming across as of late with some people, but she managed to nod lightly back in response, adding, “No…no, it was nothing like that at all. I was just…I was just taking notice is all. I guess nowadays, less and less bikes are in the city, but…it’s still nice to see. Sorry, I meant no harm.” At least not to her, but to any other mortal, she’d cast judgement down upon them, despite it being a rather normal thing to do it seemed. “It’s a beautiful bike, I didn’t mean to offend you or worry you.”

.

Aster smiled wide. The woman hardly seemed like she was trying to upset or threaten her, in fact she seemed just curious. Aster had no qualms with curiosity in others. Not when it was kind. “When the weather’s nice like this, I prefer it. Far more reliable than my car, truth be told,” she replied. She shook her head. “No offence taken,” she assured her. With a tilt of her head, she added, “Have we met? You seem familiar.”

thehephaestus​:

“Unfortunately, I think I’m already past the point of return. For brownies? Whatever you need, I’m all yours.” He chuckled before walking over to take a seat at his desk and offering her the empty seat across from him. “Nothing too interesting, although I did have a lady put the wrong gas in her car, had to brain the entire tank and flush the engine.” A look of horror crossed his eyes as he stilled for a moment, “it was a nightmare Aster, truly. But what about you? What’s new?”

“Perfect! I’ll keep it in mind when I have a body to hide,” Aster joked. She relaxed in her seat, seeming at home as she often had a habit of doing almost everywhere she went. As if she made things warmer or comfier without trying. Aster would say it was just your imagination. “Oh no! What a waste of petrol!” And seemingly a difficult job given Henry’s expression. She gave him a sympathetic look. “Oh, not much. There’s this singer who’s been renting at the BnB recently, but he comes and goes. That’s the biggest news I’ve got.”
