Hi! I’m wondering if you have any recent epic au thoughts? Checking in with Galenos :D

yrz definitely got Telemachus some puppies of a breed that's famous for their loyalty and protection for a birthday. they grow up big and they grow up mean to anyone who isn't their person. it was the moment that Penelope truly noticed yrz

Rereading the solo leveling manga and thinking about Yrz. I think he’d be a B rank healer with a truly insane ability to stack buffs. I also think that the lady who can make people stronger made Yrz into an A rank (Yrz was curious okay) and Yrz sort of... memorized the feeling of it enough to replicate? And the realized he could probably break through into s rank if he wanted. He doesn’t want. He was perfectly happy as a b rank thank you. Weak enough not to be noticed but strong enough to be respected.

Like sung feels like an endless ocean of darkness for the lady, Yrz would feel like standing at the foot of an endless white staircase.

(Also I’ve decided Yrz probably hops from country to country studying gates, which is what he was doing in America and then Korea)

sqq expecting children to be some sort of deal breaker for yrz: and children?

sqq, finding out that yrz is thinking of the possible orphans he can stea- adopt from the streets: *pikachu face*

sqq, seeing that yrz is good with children: he must want to be a father

yrz, Stepford smiling: if i ever have to speak to a person under thirty again i’m going into seclusion for forever

In regards to "hand me a shovel, i'm going in!"- what's Huā Chéng's worship policy involving Yan Ruizhi? In the cannon, the only temple (and I assume worship) allowed was for Xie Lian, but in your au he was positivity affected by Yan Ruizhi's existence. Not only that, you mentioned that basically everyone prayed Ruizhi at some point- alive or not.

Does that change his worship policies?

No idea!

Thank you for answering! Now curious what happened while he was alive before he ended up in Hades. XD Ultimate irony ,that feels incredibly YRZ, that he died to avoid godly drama- and dropped straight into more of it. I love your OC AUs thank you so much for sharing them. :)

yrz had an... eventful life in ancient Greece because he’s the definition of Extra. I'm picturing him as a horrible hell child (grief, loss of everything he’s ever known, etc) and his parents had no idea what to do with him. they dump him at a temple to Artemis despite his gender because he is clearly incredibly feral. he grew up in the temple and became a scribe eventually, and calmed the fuck down as he grew up. 

then one day he got bored and like... “invented” the guitar because he missed having one, and that attracted Appollo's attention being the god of, like, music and shit. Apollo and Artemis start duking it out, but like subtly -- immortal sibling style -- while yrz (oblivious) just went on with his overachieving life. 

he learned to fight and got pretty damn good at it because lol of course he did. that adds Ares to the mix.  he gave some dude advice about taxes who turned out to be a king or something? that gets athena interested. yrz does a new form of wine, bam Dionysius. better crops and farming! Demeter! better ships, posiedon! zeus is interested in this mortal his kids are so enamored with! aphrodite is also there, probably just to fuck with people! 

so yrz’s reputation is getting uh, out of hand, shall we say, and here’s Artemis driving herself crazy trying to keep her annoying relatives away from her favorite priest. it gets to be so bad that even the mortals are taking notice and tension starts brewing for the honor of “hosting” a man so beloved by the gods. there might be an actual war on Olympus if Artemis doesn’t calm the fuck down. 

finally, yrz notices the stupid going on when he gets asked to judge a contest among the gods -- spoiler warning: that never ends well for the mortal! 

yrz takes a look at the gods around him, realizes that there is literally no way this ends without some sort of bloodshed, and just kind of stabs himself on out of there --  sort of like a kindergarten teacher going “you keep fighting over this toy so now none of you get to have it” except the toy is yrz. he does it so fast that the gods don’t even have time to react before he dies.

gods are clearly real so the afterlife must be too! he’s betting they won’t be able to bother him down in hades, and hey! he’s mostly right. 

Mostly. 

Artemis is, shall we say, Unhappy With This Decision.

oh my god, hawks/yrz would be amazing? Like, imagine hawks going like: nothing's wrong with my relationship with the commission, man.; yrz: oh rEaLlY?

Yrz: ThErE'S nOtHiNg WrOnG wItH mY rElAtIoNsHiP tO tHe HeRo CoMmIsSiOn

yrz: you’re lucky you’re pretty

sqh’s world building being what it is, there is definitely a dual cultivation division on the medical peak. 

so yrz is absolutely a part of it, and regularly called on to papapa people back to health lol.

I can only imagine how shitty life will be like for yrz in the street rat au. To be stuck with people you would’ve wanted to avoid (i.e. wwx’s whole main character thing and the whole jiang fam’s bs), would yrz even want to be a cultivator? I’d think that yrz would stick the closest to jyl as the best of the jiangs and probs try not to stand out except for when the jiang parents are being especially stupid. I’m sad that he’s not related to the yan clan here, but does he meet them anyway? Tnx

yrz would become a cultivator just to get as strong as possible as fast as possible just so people stop jerking him and his people around. and yeah, the jiang have jyl to thank for yrz’s tolerance of sect nonsense (low as it is). 

i think that m. yu really respects yrz for his loyalty to his people and his hard-working nature. he’s an excellent influence on her children! jc looks up to yrz and tries harder, and jyl is also cultivating harder. yrz won't let her give up on herself. m. yu and yrz never really get along, but there’s a certain level of trust there. yrz is never ashamed of his roots and he’s not afraid of madame yu’s bullshit. 

he still prefers m. yu’s attitude over jfm’s *gestures* everything.

unfortunately, if yrz ever met any of the yan he’d be insta-adopted, along with his whole crew and there would be no story. so im leaning towards them just not existing in this au.
