rules and muse list below the cut!

RULES:

ONE.  triggering content will be present on this blog, including but not limited to: death, torture, incest, mentions of sexual assault & sexual abuse, alcoholism & drug use, and other nsfw topics. i will do my best to handle these issues with tact and all will be tagged accordingly.  with all of this said, follow at your own discretion.

TWO.  when it comes to following or unfollowing, there are a few things i do not tolerate: bigotry or hatred of any kind.  untagged drama or vaguing.  sidelining of minority characters or storylines.  guilting others into writing with you / the use of the term ‘elitist’ to refer to friends in the rp community.

as a personal note:  i also tend to unfollow people who are extremely negative about zeus. i recognize that not all people are going to like or appreciate him as much as i do, nor do i expect it.  he is a controversial figure, and i am fully aware of this.  but i like to write in a space that makes me feel as though people enjoy and respect the characters i write, and as zeus is the main muse on this blog, explicit hatred towards him from my rp partners makes me feel funny. 

THREE.  shipping is always welcome and encouraged.  i am open to almost anything, so long as each of my muses’ preferences are taken into account.  family relationships are my favourite, and i tend to lean towards those, so feel free to reach out and we can explore those as well!

my main persephone for hades and aphrodite for ares can be found at ichoric.

hera will be shipped with zeus only.

my demigods will require plotting ahead of time before i will write ships with them.

FOUR.  other fandoms are welcome here.  i am open to exploring new verses and coming up with au’s to write with you.  throw your oc’s at me, as well!

i will always write with pjo characters, as long as it is clear that my gods are not going to behave the way riordan’s gods do.

i will also not write with oc children of athena, hera, or persephone.  oc children of hades will be dealt with on a case by case basis but must be discussed ahead of time.

i will not write with lore olympus based characters. 

star wars: my knowledge of the universe is growing, but i have not seen every project yet (still missing: the mandolorian, ahsoka, tales of series). i'm okay with spoilers, but please bear with me as i'm still learning!

FIVE.  my formatting is minimal - no icons, small text.  my only request of my partners is to avoid using more than 2x spacing, as i find it very difficult to read.  other formatting / lack of formatting is fine!

SIX.  you are always welcome to send any kind of meme at any time - shipping memes, smut memes, or anything in between, and you can always continue an ask after i’ve answered it.  let me know if there is an ask you have answered you would like me to continue.

SEVEN.  regarding hades and persephone: my default for their relationship is that hades did in fact kidnap persephone, and that demeter was not an abusive parent in this situation. i am open to discussing alternatives with new partners as they come up, but this is my opinion on the matter and will be how i write their relationship unless told otherwise.

sidenote: zeus did not tell hades to kidnap persephone.  he gave hades his blessing, for all it was worth, and told him to figure out the rest with demeter.

MUSE LIST:

primary = high levels of muse, always available. secondary = typically available, with fluctuating levels of muse. request only = available only for plotted threads, friends only, or i have initiated the interaction with this muse.

🏳️‍🌈 for Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Zeus, and Demeter

🏳️‍🌈 for a sexuality headcanon !

hera's sexuality is definitely very intrinsically connected to her role as wife, mother, queen, and a goddess of all of the above. while still queer, i think hera has spent a very long time denying that part of her identity - or at least, never acknowledging it beyond the privacy of her own thoughts. she is, in many ways, expected to be the archetype of a perfect wife. dutiful, loyal, and ultimately, probably heterosexual. or, at least, her sexuality should not extend beyond the relationship with her husband.

hera is a bit of a rebel, though. she is those things (dutiful, loyal) when it suits her, but she's not necessarily confined to them. nevertheless, that expectation and pressure (from society, not necessarily her husband) has kept her contained in many ways, and it takes a long time for hera to admit to, accept, and explore her own queerness.

poseidon is queer, of course. this part is not news nor is it even a headcanon, lol. however, i think the interesting piece is that, while poseidon was always more liberal with his sexuality than most, it is his ascension to his role as king of the sea that sort of cements this trait. i like to imagine sea deities as being a lot more fluid (in many capacities) than their counterparts in other domains, and this includes sexuality. attraction, romance, and even sex are not things to be contained in little boxes down there, and so when poseidon begins to come into his own as king, part of that is an exploration of his sexuality in ways he may not have attempted before.

hades is an interesting case as well, in that he is undoubtedly queer - but his attraction, relationships, and sex in general have been so wound up in other parts of his identity (gender, for example, but also the Horrors he's experienced) and so a deeper exploration of his sexuality took a long time. he became quite confident in his attraction to women fairly easily (though developing connections took longer) - but his attraction to men was infinitely more complicated. he discovered this early! in my headcanons, his first relationship ever was with a man, but that fucked him up real good and he sort of shut the door on that part of him for a long time. now, he's more accepting of it this part of him, but he's also too obsessed with persephone to explore much beyond that.

zeus is attracted to any and all genders, but his experience with attraction differs based on the gender of the person. zeus tends to be far more flexible with women, and is typically more secure in these relationships, comfortable taking on a more submissive role in the relationship if that's desired, or a more dominant one. with men, he tends to be a bit more... cautious in what kind of role he takes. he finds himself slipping naturally into being the more dominant one, taking control, calling the shots, being more of the leader. he's less willing to budge on that when he's with a man, which means if it does happen, that's a huge display of trust.

demeter is a very sexually liberated woman, and i love that for her. she's unmarried, interested in taking her fair share of partners, and has never felt compelled to fit into a particular mould. however, in her past, she's mostly only ever explored an attraction to men - it's not until many years later that she began exploring her attraction to women, and in doing so, discovered she does have a bit more of a preference for women now than she does men. she's still bi, she's just had her eyes opened to the possibilities lol.

have you eaten today? (Aglaea for Zeus)

"hmm?" it was not a deflection so much as it was the result of a delirium acquired only by spending hours cooped up in his office: eyes half glazed from reading reports and documents that could be mind-numbingly boring. the question slipped over him, his brain no longer porous enough to realize what she was asking. the look he regarded her with was surely nothing short of moronic.

"yes, i'm doing quite well. thank you for asking, sweetheart," he settled on, eyes drifting reluctantly back to his computer. "er... that is what you asked, isn't it?"

gods, he was hungry. had he eaten today?

[nectaric]

"agh! you really need to learn not to sneak up on people." not that nico had been all that subtle, but hermes would much rather blame his temporary fright on the scrawny son of hades than his own jumpy temperament. "i spend enough time around the souls of the dead - which can be creepy on a good day. the last thing i need is you roaming around down here giving me the heebie-"

hermes paused, head cocking curiously. "say... you wouldn't happen to be interested in putting that talent to use, would you?"

"if you frown any deeper, you will be stuck that way forever." hestia's chasitzing came with something sweet to ease the blow. she placed a platter on the table with fruits, drizzled with nectar to turn something delicious into something decadent. satisfied with her treat, hestia sat in the seat opposite her brother. "speak now, zeus, and speak honestly. what troubles you?"

"its remarkable, isn't it?" hera let out a short sigh, unable to tear her gaze away from metis' face no matter how hard she tried. "that so much has changed, and yet i feel as though everything is exactly the same. you and i are different, but you are still so familiar to me, metis. i hope you still recognize the hera you once knew."

i'm not saying tlovm s4 is going to make me insufferable, but it will probably convince me to add percy back to this blog, and that's basically the same thing

[ximenasbrokencd]

can't wait to say "during pride month?" at every minor inconvenience all of next month

[nectaric]

"why, don't you look dashing." hera snaked her arm through her husband's, tugging him close. beyond the doors laid a party in wait of their hosts, but she could not resist stealing him for a moment before duty inevitably tore them in opposite directions. "if anyone looks at you too long, i'll rip their eyes out."

she smirked, giving his arm a gentle squeeze before pecking his cheek. "they should be staring at me, anyway. are you ready?"

@angcltouched

[nectaric]

"oh, don't give me that look." hermes trotted onboard charon's boat, waving a dismissive hand as he settled onto familiar benches, propping his feet up for good measure. "it hasn't been that long, has it? oh, only..." hermes made a point to count on his fingers, face twisted in concentration. "six weeks?"

he sighed, batting his lashes up at charon in a way he knew would never work for his beloved ferryman. "i know. that's far too long - but busy is as busy does. why don't i make it up to you?"

@singofus

[nectaric]

"come on now... you're not giving up already, are you?" ares knew he was pushing too hard - but then, if ganymede had wanted gentle, he would have gone to just about anyone else. ares would like to admit that the correct choice had been made, but that didn't mean he was going to make it easy for ganymede.

he stepped closer, the distance between them narrowing to centimeters. pressing one finger against ganymede's chest, ares' mouth split in a devilish grin. "you think a person lookin' to hurt you is going to stop because you're tired? put your fists up."

[nectaric]

the entire situation was incredibly embarrassing. not the desire itself - no, clover was entirely proud of himself and would be equally proud to wear qrow on his arm for all to see, his parents' opinions be damned. it was the question that was so ridiculous. how old was he? why was he nervous? talking to qrow had always been easy, and now he felt like a timid teenager asking a date to the dance.

"sorry, that didn't come out clearly." clover cleared his throat, trying for a warm smile. "i'm asking you on a date, qrow."
