PANHELLENIIOS : 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 — the son of zeus, lion of olympus, prince of power, and ... a washed-up nobody. herc's gotta clean up his act if he wants to be a 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎 again.
a roleplay blog for hercules panhellenios of marvel comics, featuring the themes of: demi-godhood, recovery, what it means to be immortal, divinity versus humanity, wanting to find a place in two worlds at once, joy and love as motivations, coping with rage, finding strength and its meaning, family drama lasting for eons, and being the strong friend at all costs.

written by
robin, 29, he/him. trans. blog is 21+. i'm pretty laid back, all things considered, and i'm just here to write my beloved himbo getting into all sorts of situations.
i work a full-time overnights ( est ) job so my schedule may be a little weird!
you can find herc's bio here!
blog themes
general triggers will be tagged accordingly, and if you need anything specific tagged, don't be afraid to send me a message.
nsfw themes will be tagged & put under readmores. not entirely nsfw content will be tagged as suggestive. however, if you don't want imagery of shirtless men on your dash ... maybe avoid herc in general. he's usually shirtless.
greek mythology is messy! and while i do not plan to emphasize or write incest on here, i do acknowledge that it's a big part of the stories. plus, we all know herc's dad is an immortal fuckboy.
a theme that will be unavoidable on this blog will be hercules' alcoholism. he's recovering, but it will come up.
for myself, i only ask that you tag mentions of cannibalism. that's really it.
interpretation
comic timelines are messy. herc's got a lot of appearances, but they're generally short-lived and inconsistent. i'll be pulling from a lot of them, but filling in the rest of his story with my own headcanons.
i generally prefer to keep him post-sobriety, but you can ask to interact with him beforehand! if your muse is a member of the guardians of the galaxy, you can safely assume herc will be written during his time with them unless you specify wanting otherwise!
that being said, i draw from both marvel's comics and greek myth. actually a lot from greek myth.
really the only thing i take from herc's short mcu cameo is his actor. we'll see how he actually turns out, i'll just be happy to have references of his costume.
interaction
i prefer to interact with mutuals, though i won't be mad if you're quick to message before i follow back if it's, like, the same day!
i will not interact with certain fandoms ( ie: jkr related media, rpf ) and tend to lean more toward media i'm familiar with for crossovers. i love ocs, though! hand 'em over.
pre-established relationships of any sort are also totally doable! it can help make interaction easier, imo, to establish something ooc first.
relations and shipping
i'm a shipper at heart. sorry. i love putting my little guys into situations with people they love. if you talk to me about the possibility of writing a ship ( even just a good friendship! ) i will be delighted.
i will not, however, push any ships, romantic, friendly, or otherwise. if one of our muses catches unrequited feelings, then why not ham it up and make a storyline from it - unless you're uncomfortable with the prospect.
herc can separate sex from romance, but he's pulled back on casual sex for the time being. his sexual history has gotten him a bad reputation, and he's trying to clean that up. plus his landlady will yell at him if he brings someone home.
part of the reason I hate making graphics is that my version of photoshop is so old and clunky that it makes using it a pain, so if anyone has recs on what to use instead,
likely going to swap all of herc's info onto carrd while I work on redoing everything on here .... im usually frustrated by carrd's limits so if anyone has good free templates to suggest .....
Very slowly trying to shake myself back into writing! Been catching up on sleep now that I'm not in constant pain so I'm still rather slow, and I've also been working on redoing some blog info in general because tbh? I need better jumping off points for Herc.
