Hypnos

God of Sleep

[pleasent-sleep]

Intro:

It was only a matter of time before I found my way onto this website. Let's see how this goes.

Hello mortals, I am Lord Hynos, child of Nyx and god of sleep. Feel free to ask questions regarding myself or the other gods/goddesses and I shall answer the best I can.

Likes: Flowers (especially poppies), his family, the sound of flowing water, soft things, his bed

Dislikes: Loud noises, bright light, people who don't take breaks, disrespect to himself or his family

General Rules:

This is no specific media version of Hypnos, I have based this off of the general mythology surrounding him and bits and pieces of what I do know of other versions.

My knowledge of media outside the myths consist of Percy Jackson and Hadestown, I do not know anything about the game Hades or anything else Hypnos might appear in.

Keep interactions SFW, will decide on case by case basis for romantic rp, discuss it before-hand

No bigotry of any kind! This include racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, etc.

If you have an OC with a relationship with Hypnos, either message my main blog or send in an ask explaining it before starting an RP

[pleasent-sleep]

Hypnos, how do I stop a rumor?

@death-1ncarnate

Now that is quite the question.

This wouldn't happen to involve a certain rumour surrounding you and that son of Kronos, would it?

[death-1ncarnate]

...

Oh my fucking-

[pleasent-sleep]

You shouldn't be shocked, you know how quickly gossip spreads once it reaches Olympus.

I did want to talk to you about that situation before I... jumped to any conclusions.

[death-1ncarnate]

I know... I can still be upset...

[pleasent-sleep]

That's fair I suppose.

This isn't the kind of situation you want getting out like this.

[death-1ncarnate]

So how do I stop it? People are going to take it as denial.

[pleasent-sleep]

Well that's the tricky part about a rumour like this.

The most you can do is say it's not what's happening and state the truth when someone brings it up and move the conversation along. Eventually if they hear it enough they'll get bored and move onto newer drama.

[death-1ncarnate]

... I suppose. Though I don't like how long it took me to catch this. I can't nip it in the bud.

[pleasent-sleep]

I'm sure that has made it harder, yes. The story had had time to root itself in people's minds.

Well, I will do what I can if anyone comes to ask me about it, especially our siblings. They are sure to suspect I know something about it.

[death-1ncarnate]

Well of course they probably do.

But... yes. I don't want to try and guess what details have been added and removed.

[pleasent-sleep]

*Sigh* why must people be invested enough to make up lies about other people's love lives? Or, lack there of, I suppose.

[death-1ncarnate]

... I'd take offense, but I can't.

How would I know? I don't care enough for that.

[pleasent-sleep]

That's fair. Perhaps it's an Olympian thing? Distracts from their own- less than ideal relationships.

[death-1ncarnate]

... Maybe?

[pleasent-sleep]

Who knows?

Again, I'll do what I can, but overall, you'll just have to wait for it to blow over. Handle an awkward month or so of people having questions before they give up.

[death-1ncarnate]

Ughhhhhhh.

Fine. Thanks.

[pleasent-sleep]

Don't mention it.

I am happy for you though, for making a friend at the very least.

Even if it's another son of Kronos...

[death-1ncarnate]

... Yeah, yeah. I know. But my other friends are the king of our home, his daughter, the god of war, and the god of thieves.

[pleasent-sleep]

Hah, an interesting group for sure. Still, as long as they play nice, it's better than nothing.

[death-1ncarnate]

...Yes, I suppose.

[pleasent-sleep]

Well, good luck Than. Hope things clear up for you soon.

[pleasent-sleep]

[death-1ncarnate]

Why do my wings require so much maintenance...?

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos finishes laughing, breathing a little heavy.*

You give in.

[pleasent-sleep]

Yes, yes, I give in. You're right.

I suppose being incredibly in love and obsessed with my wife isn't the worst trait to have.

[death-1ncarnate]

I suppose not. You could be like some of the Olympians. Or mortals.

[pleasent-sleep]

Exactly!

I'm surprised most of them even manage to have partners.

[death-1ncarnate]

Aren't we all?

[pleasent-sleep]

You'd think so, doesn't stop any of them though.

[death-1ncarnate]

Hence why at first I was... disproving of you and an Olympian.

But, who are you really going to marry? It's either an Olympian or a Chthonic. And we're related to a lot of Chthonics.

[pleasent-sleep]

Yes, the dating pool is- rather small for us isn't it?

I couldn't really blame you, our siblings, or Mother for being uncertain about Pasithea.

[death-1ncarnate]

... I guess there is the Furies, but... I don't think they're many people's first choice. Respectfully.

She was nice enough... but her step father is Zeus and Dionysus raised her, if you're picking up my meaning. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop for a while.

[pleasent-sleep]

I suppose those two certainly are... less than ideal role models, yes.

Seems she picked up more lessons from Lady Hera than either of them.

[death-1ncarnate]

Well. Yes. But how were we supposed to know that?

[pleasent-sleep]

That is fair, I would be just as protective to be honest.

[death-1ncarnate]

Yeah, well. You don't have to be I suppose.

[pleasent-sleep]

Maybe not, but that isn't gonna stop me from keeping an eye on anyone you make friends with.

[death-1ncarnate]

...

You do what?

[pleasent-sleep]

Nothing~

[death-1ncarnate]

No, I heard. What do you mean? What do you mean "keep an eye on"?

[pleasent-sleep]

Well- You know, check in on them when I can, make sure they're decent people.

That kind of thing!

Definitely wouldn't send them warnings to behave in their dreams...

[death-1ncarnate]

... HYPNOS!

[pleasent-sleep]

What? You'd do the same thing!

[death-1ncarnate]

I don't threaten them. I just glare at them.

[pleasent-sleep]

I don't threaten them, just, you know, tell them that you're a good person and I won't take anyone trying to take advantage of that.

[death-1ncarnate]

... I'm pretty sure warning is a synonym of threat. But alright.

[pleasent-sleep]

*Shrugs* Call it what you will.

*He looked over his wings*

This is the best they've looked in a while! Thanks Than.

[death-1ncarnate]

... No problem. Mine feel better than they have in...a while.

[pleasent-sleep]

Good! Everyone needs a bit of self care.

We should definitely do this more often.

[death-1ncarnate]

... We should.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He laid back against some of the pillows he'd set up.*

You're welcome to stay longer if you'd like. I don't mind the company and you could definitely use the rest.

[death-1ncarnate]

So I can watch you sleep?

*He's being sarcastic when he says it, rolling his eyes.*

[pleasent-sleep]

Wouldn't kill you to get some sleep yourself. While you're here, I can at least make sure it remains pleasent.

[death-1ncarnate]

... Fine.

[pleasent-sleep]

Good choice.

Make yourself comfortable, and if you need anything just ask.

[death-1ncarnate]

I feel like I didn't really have a choice, but alright.

*He sighs, trying to find a comfortable looking place to lay down.*

... Remember when we were little and did this all the time?

[pleasent-sleep]

Heh, yeah.

It really has been awhile since we've had a proper little sleepover, hasn't it?

[death-1ncarnate]

I suppose. We got ... Busy. And grew up.

[pleasent-sleep]

That happens when you become full fledged gods I suppose. Or just- adults I guess, humans go through it too.

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos eventually rests next to Hypnos, draping a wing over him.*

Yeah. I guess so.

...

You ever miss those days?

[pleasent-sleep]

Sometimes, yes.

Do you?

[death-1ncarnate]

... Sometimes.

[pleasent-sleep]

Well, glad I'm not alone in that, would have been a lot more embarassing.

[death-1ncarnate]

Embarrassing?

... I think most feel that way.

[pleasent-sleep]

Probably, yes.

People are always in such a rush to grow up, it feels silly to want to go back to that.

[death-1ncarnate]

I just wanted to grow up to have a purpose. I didn't want to...lose certain things.

[pleasent-sleep]

Heh, that seems to be how it goes. You get more than you bargained for. Or, I guess in this case, lose more.

It's nice to go back to those familiar things though.

Like having sleep overs with your favorite brother

[death-1ncarnate]

Well, you wouldn't have liked it much either if you were born too early for your domain. Your domain only needs you to be secure.

... Yeah, it's nice I guess. But favorite brother? Did you convince Charon to take time off? *he teases.*

[pleasent-sleep]

I suppose not, I do have more- wiggle room within my domain.

*Dramatic gasp* Betrayal! I thought we were having a sweet little brotherly moment

[death-1ncarnate]

Mhm. I can't really experience Death, now can I? I think that would cause some... issue.

*He smiles a little again.* We are. It's not my fault you go egotistical and presumed something.

[pleasent-sleep]

*Despite trying to appear playfully annoyed, he is clearly fighting a smile* I was making what I thought to be an educated guess.

[death-1ncarnate]

Well, clearly you need more education.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He swatted him playfully with his wing again* How mean.

[death-1ncarnate]

You're the one hitting me!

*He playfully kicks Hypnos, not aiming to actually hurt.*

[pleasent-sleep]

*He actually starts laughing now, falling back dramatically* I am wounded.

[death-1ncarnate]

You 'wounded' me first!

[pleasent-sleep]

Yes but mine is worse. I do not believe I can get up, I am downed.

[death-1ncarnate]

Yes, you can. You've suffered worse.

[pleasent-sleep]

Nope, not possible. I'm gonna need a really long rest to get over this.

[death-1ncarnate]

Of course you are.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He shut grinned* Then we should both rest.

You can leave whenever you wish, but at least shut your eyes for a bit.

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos sighs, closing his eyes.* Fine.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He shut his eyes too, settling in to sleep.*

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos rests his head against Hypnos, before dozing off.*

[pleasent-sleep]

*He rested against him in return.*

Don't worry Than... I'll make sure no dreams disturb you...

[death-1ncarnate]

Why do my wings require so much maintenance...?

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos finishes laughing, breathing a little heavy.*

You give in.

[pleasent-sleep]

Yes, yes, I give in. You're right.

I suppose being incredibly in love and obsessed with my wife isn't the worst trait to have.

[death-1ncarnate]

I suppose not. You could be like some of the Olympians. Or mortals.

[pleasent-sleep]

Exactly!

I'm surprised most of them even manage to have partners.

[death-1ncarnate]

Aren't we all?

[pleasent-sleep]

You'd think so, doesn't stop any of them though.

[death-1ncarnate]

Hence why at first I was... disproving of you and an Olympian.

But, who are you really going to marry? It's either an Olympian or a Chthonic. And we're related to a lot of Chthonics.

[pleasent-sleep]

Yes, the dating pool is- rather small for us isn't it?

I couldn't really blame you, our siblings, or Mother for being uncertain about Pasithea.

[death-1ncarnate]

... I guess there is the Furies, but... I don't think they're many people's first choice. Respectfully.

She was nice enough... but her step father is Zeus and Dionysus raised her, if you're picking up my meaning. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop for a while.

[pleasent-sleep]

I suppose those two certainly are... less than ideal role models, yes.

Seems she picked up more lessons from Lady Hera than either of them.

[death-1ncarnate]

Well. Yes. But how were we supposed to know that?

[pleasent-sleep]

That is fair, I would be just as protective to be honest.

[death-1ncarnate]

Yeah, well. You don't have to be I suppose.

[pleasent-sleep]

Maybe not, but that isn't gonna stop me from keeping an eye on anyone you make friends with.

[death-1ncarnate]

...

You do what?

[pleasent-sleep]

Nothing~

[death-1ncarnate]

No, I heard. What do you mean? What do you mean "keep an eye on"?

[pleasent-sleep]

Well- You know, check in on them when I can, make sure they're decent people.

That kind of thing!

Definitely wouldn't send them warnings to behave in their dreams...

[death-1ncarnate]

... HYPNOS!

[pleasent-sleep]

What? You'd do the same thing!

[death-1ncarnate]

I don't threaten them. I just glare at them.

[pleasent-sleep]

I don't threaten them, just, you know, tell them that you're a good person and I won't take anyone trying to take advantage of that.

[death-1ncarnate]

... I'm pretty sure warning is a synonym of threat. But alright.

[pleasent-sleep]

*Shrugs* Call it what you will.

*He looked over his wings*

This is the best they've looked in a while! Thanks Than.

[death-1ncarnate]

... No problem. Mine feel better than they have in...a while.

[pleasent-sleep]

Good! Everyone needs a bit of self care.

We should definitely do this more often.

[death-1ncarnate]

... We should.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He laid back against some of the pillows he'd set up.*

You're welcome to stay longer if you'd like. I don't mind the company and you could definitely use the rest.

[death-1ncarnate]

So I can watch you sleep?

*He's being sarcastic when he says it, rolling his eyes.*

[pleasent-sleep]

Wouldn't kill you to get some sleep yourself. While you're here, I can at least make sure it remains pleasent.

[death-1ncarnate]

... Fine.

[pleasent-sleep]

Good choice.

Make yourself comfortable, and if you need anything just ask.

[death-1ncarnate]

I feel like I didn't really have a choice, but alright.

*He sighs, trying to find a comfortable looking place to lay down.*

... Remember when we were little and did this all the time?

[pleasent-sleep]

Heh, yeah.

It really has been awhile since we've had a proper little sleepover, hasn't it?

[death-1ncarnate]

I suppose. We got ... Busy. And grew up.

[pleasent-sleep]

That happens when you become full fledged gods I suppose. Or just- adults I guess, humans go through it too.

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos eventually rests next to Hypnos, draping a wing over him.*

Yeah. I guess so.

...

You ever miss those days?

[pleasent-sleep]

Sometimes, yes.

Do you?

[death-1ncarnate]

... Sometimes.

[pleasent-sleep]

Well, glad I'm not alone in that, would have been a lot more embarassing.

[death-1ncarnate]

Embarrassing?

... I think most feel that way.

[pleasent-sleep]

Probably, yes.

People are always in such a rush to grow up, it feels silly to want to go back to that.

[death-1ncarnate]

I just wanted to grow up to have a purpose. I didn't want to...lose certain things.

[pleasent-sleep]

Heh, that seems to be how it goes. You get more than you bargained for. Or, I guess in this case, lose more.

It's nice to go back to those familiar things though.

Like having sleep overs with your favorite brother

[death-1ncarnate]

Well, you wouldn't have liked it much either if you were born too early for your domain. Your domain only needs you to be secure.

... Yeah, it's nice I guess. But favorite brother? Did you convince Charon to take time off? *he teases.*

[pleasent-sleep]

I suppose not, I do have more- wiggle room within my domain.

*Dramatic gasp* Betrayal! I thought we were having a sweet little brotherly moment

[death-1ncarnate]

Mhm. I can't really experience Death, now can I? I think that would cause some... issue.

*He smiles a little again.* We are. It's not my fault you go egotistical and presumed something.

[pleasent-sleep]

*Despite trying to appear playfully annoyed, he is clearly fighting a smile* I was making what I thought to be an educated guess.

[death-1ncarnate]

Well, clearly you need more education.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He swatted him playfully with his wing again* How mean.

[death-1ncarnate]

You're the one hitting me!

*He playfully kicks Hypnos, not aiming to actually hurt.*

[pleasent-sleep]

*He actually starts laughing now, falling back dramatically* I am wounded.

[death-1ncarnate]

You 'wounded' me first!

[pleasent-sleep]

Yes but mine is worse. I do not believe I can get up, I am downed.

[death-1ncarnate]

Yes, you can. You've suffered worse.

[pleasent-sleep]

Nope, not possible. I'm gonna need a really long rest to get over this.

[death-1ncarnate]

Of course you are.

[pleasent-sleep]

*He shut grinned* Then we should both rest.

You can leave whenever you wish, but at least shut your eyes for a bit.

[death-1ncarnate]

*Thanatos sighs, closing his eyes.* Fine.
