⚔️🔥 In the heat of battle, Hercules stands ready to face any challenge. The intense focus, powerful physique, and unwavering determination capture everything that made Lou Ferrigno's legendary hero so unforgettable.
Whether confronting monsters, tyrants, or impossible odds, Hercules never relied on strength alone. His courage, resilience, and refusal to surrender turned every battle into a test of character as much as power. 💪🏛️
Finally getting around to showing off what I've been working on with my sona Leon! Been playing a lot of Hades 2 recently, inspiration struck and I've been obsessed since. Enjoy 😌

You really should have known better than to host a party.
Not because you weren’t good at it.
No—if anything, that was the problem.
You were too good at it.
The music pulsed through the cabin, laughter spilling over itself, voices overlapping in that warm, messy way that meant everyone was having just a little too much fun. Lights flickered low and golden, shadows soft, everything blurred just enough to feel unreal.
And you—
You were past tipsy.
Not gone.
Not out of control.
Just… loose.
Floaty.
Bold in the way alcohol made you—like consequences were something that happened to other people.
“Okay,” you said, pointing at absolutely no one in particular, “I am completely fine.”
A Hermes kid snorted into his drink.
“Yeah,” he said. “That’s always when it’s bad.”
You turned slowly.
Squinted at him.
“I am offended,” you informed him.
“You should be,” he replied easily.
You waved him off, already distracted—because something had shifted.
That feeling.
That pull.
And when you looked up—
Oh.
There he was.
Percy Jackson.
Standing near the edge of the room like he didn’t quite belong in it. Like he’d wandered into chaos and hadn’t decided yet if he should stay or leave.
And he was looking at you.
Not casually.
Not politely.
Looking.
You smiled.
Slow.
Sharp.
“Well,” you murmured to yourself. “That’s interesting.”
Percy knew, immediately, that this was a mistake.
Not the party.
Not even staying.
No—the mistake was looking at you.
Because now he couldn’t stop.
You looked like something out of a dream—or maybe a bad decision he was absolutely going to make. The red shimmer of your skirt caught the light every time you moved, your boots loud and confident against the floor, your makeup just slightly smudged like the night had already gotten its hands on you.
