eros; idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword.

[lxrcandeath]

I’d agree with the charming part. Don’t know about persuasive, though – but then again, I don’t think you’ve been trying to persuade me. Yes. Hats. I’m the goddess of hats. No, you spoon. —- Rainbows and color. You could say I’m very good at helping people come out of the closet. Those – those exist? By Zeus… – Why, thank you. I quite like you. 

[fuckingeros-blog]

If you knew when I was trying to persuade you, it wouldn’t be very persuasive of me. Someone has to be the goddess of hats---but goddess of rainbows works. That's just the opinion of a - spoon? - though. I like you back, luckily for you.

[hello-persephone-deactivated201]

My only other advice is don’t get punched in the face if your friend decides to use it.

[fuckingeros-blog]

Fast dodging is probably a useful skill, if it comes down to that.

❝ —– see, that’s where we’re gonna have a problem. i don’t have much experience on this ‘ high road ’ you’re talkin’ about considerin’ i’ve never taken it, but i tell other people to ‘cause then there’s more room on the low road for me. is that so wrong ? ❞

[fuckingeros-blog]

---Are you speaking English, or dead cowboy philosopher? To hell with it, take the low road.

[hello-persephone-deactivated201]

Then I say go for it.

[fuckingeros-blog]

I’m glad I have your approval.

[thanafck-blog]

I’d go for a brilliant one, you can tell to your friend - wish I could use something like that, but I don’t know how charming “hey, i’m the god of death” would make me seem.

[fuckingeros-blog]

I don’t know, I think it works. “Killer in the streets and in the sheets”?

[morphintodreams-deactivated2015]

“Well I would think it would scare mortals away and entice some.”

[fuckingeros-blog]

Truth hurts, man.

[okantheia-blog]

I guess it is a bad and brilliant idea. Not sure how most people would react to it. Just depends, yeah.

[fuckingeros-blog]

Yeah, right---might need to progress into human trials, then.

[mack-donald]

“No, it’d be much funnier for the people who aren’t in love with you, Eros.”

[fuckingeros-blog]

There aren’t many of those.

[lxrcandeath]

—-Oh. Oh. That’s your thing, isn’t it? The love thing? – So you – huh. And these poor humans still think love happens on it’s own. I suppose it’s quite helpful when you’re feeling lonely? I do look good in a hat. Well, I’d rather not fall in love with a street lamp, but thank you for the offer, mon chéri. I’ll let you know if I ever get tired of waiting.

[fuckingeros-blog]

That, or I’m just weirdly persuasive and exceptionally charming. And your thing is... hats? That’s why there’s been a flood of “I fell in love with my car” documentaries lately---it makes for good banter.  If you do get tired of waiting, you know where I am. By then, my aim might be better. I wouldn’t purposefully fuck it up, you’re all good.

[fuckingeros-blog]

(sorry i’m replying to everything so sporadically; i’m on my phone and i have exams tomorrow, tuesday and thursday so i’m at least 80% dead right now.) that said, hi, i’m laura!! i’ll fix up my pages at some point for more details about eros and things but basically he’s always between the points of ‘trying too hard to be cool and aloof’, the hashtags #ladz and #banter, and ‘accidental asshole with a heart of mostly gold, maybe a bit of tin or something’. if you want to plot or anything, let me know or like this and i’ll pester you!!

[lxrcandeath]

Yes, quite. Rather, moderately, at-first-glance. Why, do you make people say you’re cute often? I’m working on making it permanent. Do you think I’d look alright with pink hair? Well, people don’t really like it when I go to pet their dog and accidentally make it’s fur orange… Oh, gosh, no. Don’t worry about it. I’ll find my god of gentlemanliness someday. —- Wait – what do you mean, they might not be human?

[fuckingeros-blog]

Sometimes I fuck up and accidentally make people fall in love with me? —Yeah, there’s no normal way of saying that. And it’s not as useful as you might think. If you don’t look great with pink hair, you’ll look great in a hat. But the ‘not a human’ thing was just a disclaimer. More of a precaution, really.

[jonpsd-blog]

Bad. Just as any other pick-up-line.

[fuckingeros-blog]

Noted. There should be some benefits to it, though.

[mack-donald]

“That would actually be kind of funny if that happened though-”

[fuckingeros-blog]

I mean, yeah. Not so much if I can’t fix it.

[lxrcandeath]

That might get you a couple of phone numbers. Well, provided that you want those phone numbers. What a shame, if you do – you’re quite cute. Either way, those are better than ‘hey, I can temporarily make your hair periwinkle, I’m really good at interior decorating and I can do the thing Spongebob does when he says ‘imagination.’ Date me.’ 

[fuckingeros-blog]

Quite? —And I didn’t even have to make you say that. The hair thing’s cool, and interior decorating is a selling point, when you need your interior… decorating. But if you need a date, I can arrow someone for you. They mightn’t be human, though; I’m working on that part. Apparently my method of archery practice is deeply unethical.

[hello-persephone-deactivated201]

Depends on who you’re using it on.

[fuckingeros-blog]

Target audience is undecided.

[mack-donald]

“I think that would give girls the impression you’d like to be hit.”

[fuckingeros-blog]

—Still better than “hey, I have zero control over my powers, so if you want to unintentionally fall in love with a piece of gravel on the ground, I’m your guy”.

[lxrcandeath]

Well, some girls might not be impressed. Your friend would fare much better with the ‘god of gentlemanliness’ or something like that.

[fuckingeros-blog]

I’m all for honesty, but the reality is usually a lot more clinical than that. Like “protector of homosexual relationships”, or whatever, for example. That one probably has a more of a niche target audience.
