You know...??
When stories about the greek gods (Theoi) are always brought upon, specially with crossovers, people always likes to pair them with the norse gods (Aesir)
And I'm like, ok, both Theoi and Aesir are very representative and very famous pantheons, but fam, I genuinely think the Theoi have more in common with the Canaanite, Persian, Amazigh and Egyptian gods who have more to grasp than the ones from Germany/Scandinavia.
I mean, no hard feelings to the Aesir, but when it comes to this crossover, they always led to the old cliche of Gods Fighting between each other instead of interacting in good terms (thanks Marvel for that) and honestly it becomes boring with time.
I want to see the Theoi interacting with other pantheons who had contact throughout history.
C'mon, the possibilities are endless:
Circe and the Amazigh Teryel conjuring and practicing magic spells for hours. 🔮
Helios and the Persian Mithra competing about who is the most shining fella in the Mediterranean. 🌞
Aphrodite and the Sumerian Inanna chatting about their shepherd boyfriends Adonis and Dumuzid and going on a double date. 👩🏽🤝👩🏼👨🏽🤝👨🏻
Zeus and the Phoenician Hadad boasting about royal stuff while their wives are just saying to themselves "Husbands, am I rite?" 👑
Athena and the Egyptian Horus venting about their unique childhoods and giving each other a huge comfort hug. 🤗
Dionysus and the Indian Varuni drinking wine while performing playwrights dressed with extravagant clothes. 🍷🎭
Herakles and the Assyrian Gilgamesh being the most dude-bros of the region flexing these guns YEAH!!! 💪.
And that's just a tease of the huge plethora of stories you can write. Let the Aesir rest for a while, I know they're cool and all that, but when you start to find and explore other pantheons which had a contact with the greeks, the stories start to bloom with so much naturality that you don't need to force plot points at the moment of puting the gods in a same scenario. @alatismeni-theitsa You can be my writing consultant btw lol
Have fun. And hope I can publish more since I left this blog in a long hiatus. Between school, the epidemic and all that, I didn't have time to dedicate to it, but *phew* what a ride.
