Yandere Greek Gods and Goddesses

I don’t know how popular greek mythology is on this app… but I wanted to write for it anyway. I’m starting with my favorite twins, and I will definitely write more for them! These headcanons are to help inspire future writings of mine :)

I’m going to post another Targaryen thing shortly after this too lol

Features: Yandere Artemis and Apollo x Female reader (separate)

Warnings: controlling behavior, obsessive behavior, toxic relationships, sexual themes, toxic jealousy, clingy/dependent behavior, mentions of illness and injury

Artemis

- Artemis values her independence and freedom above all else. She would fall for someone who does not hold her back, someone who cherishes their free spirit as much as she does. It’s likely that you’d be a young girl taken under her wing, someone she’d train with a bow and also find solace in.

- Mostly, she is nurturing and a good listener. She prefers for you to speak about whatever you please while you follow behind her. The only instances she’d be cross with you is if you were to break an oath or vow, or go against her wishes or warnings. This would be especially true if you were to get hurt; she would have her brother, Apollo, heal you if you were severely ill, and if you were injured, she would nurse you back to health, not allowing you to lift a finger. After that, she’d be much more careful and overbearing. She doesn’t let grievances go so easily.

- Still, she does have some expectations for you. You joined her to be free, but that comes with your loyalty to her. She expects all her priestesses to stay true to their word, you especially, who she places above everyone else in her heart. That being said, she is much more lenient with you, and does not like to inflict pain on you. She’s more tame when it comes to punishment, and will usually scold you, but that’s as far as she’d go. Even then, her stern expression and firm words terrify you, so you tread carefully.

- Artemis tries not to let jealousy get to her, and she believes you are loyal, so she doesn’t feel threatened by others in your life. As long as she’s the closest one to you and the one you spend most of your time with, she doesn’t care much if you converse with others. She draws the line at breaking your vows of chastity. As one of her followers, you should not break your vow to her, and she also has an obsession with keeping you pure—not so much in a sexual sense, but more so in a way of guarding you from the harshness of the world. Especially in the wild, she knows how easily kind prey such as yourself can fall to predators, and she will make quick work of anyone who tries to harm you. She is known to be terrifying when her family is messed with.

- She is vengeful and even temperamental at times. If anyone hurts you, whether through words or actions, she will kill them. No questions asked. She can be especially cruel with men. Just as she punished Actaeon for seeing her naked, she will do much worse to a man who lays eyes on your naked form or so much as thinks impure thoughts about you.

- Speaking of breaking your vow of chastity… if she fears you are unsatisfied with her and crave a more intimate, sensual connection, something she was not open to give you (or anyone, for that matter), she may compromise. This comes with a lot of thought and consideration from her, and if she believes you will become closer to her as a result of this, she will use her tongue or fingers to please you, as this technically does not take your virginity, or hers. However, she won’t have you touch her, she’ll simply please you if she deems it necessary and if it makes you happy.

- For the most part, she is gentle with you. She’s known as the protector of women and young girls, and this nature is deeply reflected in her relationship with you. She nurtures you as a mother would, keeps you company as a friend would, and will indulge you like a lover might. She spends most of her time teaching you how to hunt or how to use a bow and arrow and, at other times, she’ll simply lie with you in the grass, smiling at you as you run off at the mouth. Out of all the gods and goddesses in the Greek Pantheon, she is the one who allows you the most freedom as she understands the value in it.

- Though she is quick to anger, it is almost never directed at you. Even if it’s your fault, she finds ways to blame herself for failing to protect you properly or another before she places the blame on you. The only case where she would be upset with you is if you were to sleep with someone else. If a man took your chastity, she’d kill him and soon punish you for it. It’s something she can’t forgive: you betrayed an oath, you betrayed her, and you betrayed yourself, your dignity and your body. She believes you brought harm to yourself and that cannot be forgiven easily.

- Artemis is a protective, nurturing, and stern lover. Her dark side is how overbearing and controlling she can become if you are hurt terribly or if you betray her. However, she is definitely one of the better goddesses to have as a lover, or even be in a platonic relationship with.

Apollo

- A kind and generous lover, Apollo is so accustomed to losing his lovers to tragedy that he will make sure he cherishes and protects you properly. It’s because of his history with love that you have trouble holding him accountable for all he does. He starts off gentle and careful, testing the waters before plunging deep into obsession.

- To him, every piece of you is art. Your voice is like music to his ears—anything you say is law to him. Whether it’s an insult or praise, he smiles just due to the attention you give him. However, there is only so much a god’s pride can take, and soon your defiance is met with honeyed words, forced smiles, and, if pushed too far, forceful love.

- His love for you runs deep, but it’s so simple at first. He adores you, both your soul and your body. He listens to you with gentle eyes, he holds your hands with such delicacy, and kisses you with the upmost affection and reverence. In affectionate moments, which come often with Apollo, it’s almost as if he worships you, though he is the god.

- It’s not that he’s controlling—he’s clingy. It’s to the point where you cannot let out a breath without him noticing it. He’s always by your side, and when his duties keep him, he returns to you and showers you in affection sevenfold. Any time spent apart from you is torture. He makes sure this is known; he’ll send plenty of letters to you, which he expects to be returned in some way shape or form, whether that’s a letter in return or special attention when he’s back in your arms.

- He hates to see you hurt. If you ever fall ill he’ll heal you, and if you get injured it will be one of the only times you see him truly afraid. After all the pain his past lovers have endured, he promised he’d never let you end up like that. He desperately wants to grant you immortality, and may even force it on you if he gets scared of your sudden death. Ideally, he’d hope you’d reciprocate the feeling and wish to be immortal by his side.

- His reverence for you speaks volumes! He lets you get away with a lot more than others can (he cursed Cassandra for rejecting him, but he wouldn’t do the same to you, he’d find other ways to punish you), and he even suggests having a sculpture made of you that he’d place right beside him. That’s your destined place in his eyes, so he deems it only fitting that your beauty and place in his life is carved into marble.

- That being said, he’s very protective. He wants to know everything about you, and he probably does. He’d never use this against you, but he’d make sure you know he’s the one closest to you, the one who knows you best, and this goes further than just your personality; he knows your body best too, what things pleasure you and what things don’t. The only way I can see him punishing you is by denying you pleasure until you give into his whims, and this is usually done by teasing you subtly, lingering touches that border on sensual, and a closeness that radiates his warmth to a tantalizing degree. He just wants you to realize you’re his and that he’ll take care of you better than anyone else will! He loves physical touch and will always be touching you in some kind of way. Even just holding you close, keeping your body pressed to his, is enough to ground him.

- Like the sun, he loves too much and too close. This is his fault, that he feels consumed by an obsessive love for you, something that leads him to do things he’d never do otherwise. He is quick to jealousy. Even a simple smile at someone else causes him to question you and your feelings towards them. As I said, he keeps a close eye on you, so nothing goes past his fierce gaze, especially not your gaze upon someone else or someone else’s gaze upon you. He’ll make it known that you’re his lover to any threat, and he will resort to violence if pushed too far. By violence, it will likely mean he casts a plague on the person or curses them. Either way, they will be disposed of and penalized for incurring his envy. Then, after this is done, he’ll be so happy that you’re his again, and he’ll shower you with love, so much it feels suffocating.

- If you ever feel suffocated by his love (which, at some point, you definitely will), Apollo will notice immediately. If you avoid him for any reason, whether you’re mad at him or seeking space away from him, he becomes very anxious and seeks to remedy any wrongdoing. He’ll apologize profusely, even begging for you to hear him out, and he’ll use anything he can against you, most likely luring you into his arms again with suggestive touches. He can’t stand the separation and he hates most of all when you aren’t smiling at him, so he’ll do anything to ensure that you two are happy together.

- The furthest he’d go is to make you dependent on him by crueler means. The God of plagues and disease, Apollo may make you temporarily ill just to have you rely on him in your weakened state. It would never be severe—no, it would hurt too much to see you truly suffer—but just enough to have you reliant on his gentle hands and warm touch. It pains him to see you like this, so he will only resort to this if it is the last option he has, and even then he is quick to relent and heal you, crying as he apologizes for inflicting pain on you, the one he’s supposed to cherish carefully. If this ever happens, your relationship may become strained by it, and Apollo will be extra gentle with you afterwards in hopes of healing the damage he’s done.

- Apollo is gentle and loving, and despite being very attached and needy, knows you intricately and is a very attentive lover. He is quick to meet your needs and your desires, but he can become wrathful only in his jealousy or his fear that you may try to leave him. He’s okay with you being angry with him or momentarily hurt if it means you, in the long run, will remain in his arms.

Apollo and Hermes (Blood of Zeus) gave their loved ones and goddesses neck kisses and love bites.

Apollo — The Sun's Mark on Your Skin ☀️🔥

~ Apollo's kisses were always like the morning sun piercing the mist. They were warm, circular, and became more intense as his passion grew. ~

• When he kissed your neck, his fingers usually lifted your hair first, as if peeling back a veil of sacred canvas.

• His lips slowly descended along your neck, leaving a trail of passionate kisses like sunlight pressing against your skin.

• His love bites weren't just bites. They were like small, gently burning embers. They weren't painful, but they were enough to make your knees weak.

• After the bite, Apollo usually held his lips for a moment, his breath burning your ear.

• "I'll show them whom I choose," he whispered, his voice trembling like a lyre string. • Apollo's sign glowed faintly, a golden glow, like sunlight reflecting off skin. ☀︎

• And yes, he's the kind of god who repeats this sign whenever someone gazes at you.

Hermes — mark Lightning and a Mischievous Smile ⚡🪽

~ Hermes doesn't just kiss you. He takes your breath away, then brings it back. ~

• He approaches from behind, wraps his arms around your waist, and rubs his face against your neck.

• His kisses are quick, smooth, and playful, but when he lays his mark... his expression turns serious.

• Hermes kisses you quickly, deeply, and warmly, comfortingly, as if whispering a secret.

• His breath always makes the hairs on your neck stand on end, like a subtle electricity in the air.

• “This is for good luck on your journey,” he says, pretending to be innocent, even though your ears are already red. • The sign of Hermes is usually blue-purple, small but distinct, like a thin bolt of lightning kissing your skin. ⚡︎

• And it makes him so proud when you blush every time his fingers touch it.

RANT/COMMUNITY QUESTIONS & OR CONCERN

Did y’all see that drama going around on TikTok? Apparently someone had the bright idea to start A LITERAL WAR with LORD MOTHERFUCKING APOLLON. And than they said Lord Ares you know the god of war, agreed with them?!

???Like what the actual fuck???

I thought we moved on from all this bullshit, it’s the “putting a love spell on Hades” all over again!

Even if Lord Apollo did something that bad, why start beef with a literal GOD? Like Literally just stop working with him and go on with your day, you’re a mortal don’t be an idiot.

You’re literally bound to get your shit rocked, not only by that specific God but by every other God that is cool with them. That or they’ll just be watching in amusement. Bc I know damn well Artemis will standing by her twin.

Have we learnt nothing, people?!

UPDATE/EDIT: I think they’re also a myth literalist.. just bc the reasoning they said for doing this tomfoolery was for “glory” & “justice” for all the mortals lord Apollo has killed in the past…

You can’t make this shit up, they also said that the history repeating itself thing and norms can be broken..

I can’t with this shit.. we gave Apollon an offering as an apology for how stupid humanity is.. I suggest you do the same if you have an alter for him, or even have one to give, our bro is going through it right now

Their TikTok @ is simon_ranger if y’all wanna check that bullshit out for yourself btw

Howdy!

Could I request something with Apollo, maybe about Reader having been missing and him searching for her or something like that? Feel free to take the idea in whatever direction you like!

YESSS

An Apollo request, you have no idea how happy it made me my dear anonymous. He's literally my favorite god.

(I wasn't sure like in what context you wanted it, so I made the time period as vague as possible. Feel free to interpret it in either modern days or ancient Greece)

His loved devotee went missing

Alright, it wasn't like he was panicking or anything, he was simply....concerned.

It's not like it was his fault though, you'd make quite the habit of praying to him and giving him offerings, or simply lighting up the candles of your altar for him, or who knows, think of him and make a sun drawing on a random paper. He'd gotten used to it, but it's not like he needed it...

But it's been four weeks, where the hell are you?! Everything, literally everything you used to do for him at least once a week, suddenly gone, all of the sudden, out of nowhere, you, stopped. Not a single prayer or candle

It was fine at first, nobody's perfect, you are a mortal after all, you may not have time that week or were too tired, he understood. He was a cool god, he wasn't going to smite you out of existence for such a simple thing

But then it was as if you didn't care at all about him, it was...odd. You weren't his favourite follower, he had many more, he didn't need your offerings, but he still appreciated them. He still felt happy to read the simple poem you tried to compose to him, he took his time to try to communicate with you by the flames of your candles, heck, he even made sure to try not to burn you by driving his charriot too close.

It just felt dull, he used to look forward to your prayers, maybe he had just gotten used to it but now without them it was weird, as if something was missing.

You

He missed you

He regretted every prayer he didn't show himself to you, every offering he simply collected and didn't actually taste and admire through as he should've. Every drawing or song you made about him, he wished now he'd kept them closer to his heart, because how he missed them. He was centuries old, he had some of the most brilliant and magnificent cults in his honor, he killed the mythic python and was praised for it, he was one of the gods with the most lovers, his own kids got to be gods or legends; and still, he missed you, his heart ached in loneliness of not having you, he wasn't even sure if he had one before! But the pain was real, and if he was a mortal..he would've cried

He knew he would've been SOBBING, begging the gods to bring you back to him, but he wasn't, because he WAS the god, yet he still missed you.

It took him a while, he had to swallow his pride and admit the truth: he needed to find you, but he didn't even know where to look. It was difficult to find your altar, he usually just sat and enjoyed your praises when you called for him, he never looked around to figure out where it was, he was doomed! But still, he had to try, his entire self was begging to hear you once more

Maybe another god took you? He knew how that usually went, and he didn't like it at all, it could mean you were dead! But it wasn't time to be pessimistic, because he did manage to remember something, a rosemary plant. Now it wasn't THAT much, but it was better than nothing, he knew that from your altar, if you looked outside you'd see a rosemary plant, he just needed to find it.

It wasn't easy, he always thought the human realm was pretty simple..oh boy, it took him an embarrassingly long amount of time to find it, but it looked exactly like what he remembered, or at least he thought it did. Was this why you stopped worshiping him? Because he was an asshole and didn't appreciate you enough when he had it? He'd understand if it was now, because even he was hating how much he took your appreciation for granted. But at least it was something, and the fates had a little bit of compassion with him, because it was the right plant.

☀️

You took a step back, absolutely surprised and scared at the same time, you were apparently schizophrenic now? How the hell did a random man appear in front of you, and why did he feel so...familiar? There was something about him, a certain warmth, you knew you'd felt it before, when you were sure your prayers were being heard and your offerings held by Apollo..it was the same feeling.

"where have you been?" He didn't show himself in all his glory to you, despite how much he wanted to, to be completely honest with you in every way of how he was and what he'd ever be, but he didn't want you to die from embracing his truly godly form either. It didn't matter what pathetic excuse you had for yourself, or if you actually had a valid reason, your words were cut before they could leave your mouth as he stepped forward all the way to you and held you in a tight hug. He didn't want to hear it right now, he didn't need to. "I've been looking for you.."

He just needed you two to simply, be, finally reunite. He missed you

Apollo and Diana, an 1848 marble statue by American artist and sculptor Thomas Crawford.

This captures their essence quite well imo!
