Athos: "So what's it like being the son of the greatest god in the world?"

Apollo: "But Poseidon's not my dad??"

Athos: *fratricidal urges skyrocket*

Athos: "back in my day, children respected their parents."

Apollo: "Back in your day, dinosaurs roamed the earth, the sun circled the planet, and you weren't the subject of pity sex."

Athos: "i—"

Athos: stealing is wrong, you should never steal.

Also, Athos: theft is an appropriate way to get shiny things, so long as the receiver doesn't find out they're stolen. if the receiver cares about that.

HelleniSwap, a Summary

Welcome and greetings! So, you’ve found this AU I’ve created with the help of VenomousKilljoy (@dumbshit42069). To start with, this is a Swap AU— of sorts— and if you’re as into mythology as we are, then you can guess exactly what type of Swap this AU is.

Greek Mythology.

Well, not just Greek Mythology, but the Fair Folk (also known as the fae), some fantasy fandoms turned into faerie realms, mythological beings, and, one day, mentions of their alternates (Swapfell, but Roman Mythology).

That’s not saying there aren’t Monsters, because they’re still there and among the many beings that live in their world. They, like humans and the Fair Folk, get to experience the joys of mixing with Titans, Gods, Demi-Gods, and Mages.

The story finds the Monsters of the Underground trapped within the Underworld, originally finding themselves located within the Asphodel Meadows, where their kingdom had taken the name. Spanning along several rivers of the Underworld, the Kingdom of Asphodel found the barrier at the Gate of Dusk and, thanks to several Chthonic gods (and a goddess), discovered the requirements for their freedom:

Seven strong, willing souls.

With that requirement, the Monsters are stuck, unable to use the souls that linger in Asphodel alongside them... unless strong, willing souls are snuck out of Elysium or the Isle of the Blessed by the Gods and Goddess assisting them under Hades’ nose. But that would take time, and for the Monsters? They had all the time in the world, in their living kingdom in the Land of the Dead.

Why hello there, little friend! Thank you very much for summoning me - here's your question! ~☆

Is your character capable of hating someone? If so, is there someone they hate? What would drive them to hate someone?

I'm going to use my Helleniswap AU's seventh fallen child, Anon, for this question.

For Anon, the question of hate is a question of natural emotions. They're aware it is normal to hate something, to hate someone, because not everyone will be the type that they can get along with.

But as to the capability of hating someone?

I would have to say yes, they are capable of hating someone. They also have a person that they don't exactly hate, but they don't exactly like for several reasons, one of which is the fact they've killed them repeatedly before in one timeline.

What drives them to be able to hate someone is based more on that person's willingness to cause harm for the amusement of it, simply because they have the power to... and if they have harmed the people they consider theirs. Which, coincidentally, has also happened in one timeline.

Look at this beautiful thing! This was created by the amazing Venomous Killjoy (@dumbshit42069). It’s awesome, no?

Eros the Elder

Also known as Sans, the older brother of Athos (Papyrus) and the mate to the [Primal] Titan Chaos. He’s a cheerful, benevolent skeletal fae with a taste for mischief and matchmaking, whether the matches ask for his help or not. Eros loves his brother, his sister-in-law, his many, many nieces and nephews, and any descendant of Chaos. Family is, to him, very important.

I adore his concept, from his iridescent dragonfly wings to his blueberry-blue magic (and chubby ecto-flesh). To be honest, he started originally as a simple “fae/Underswap” AU version of Blueberry before the Greek mythology was introduced. Something that definitely stayed is the fact he is far, far smaller than said Blueberry at a whopping 1′. Yes, he’s tiny, just like a bitty in his base state. Outside the base state, he can grow himself to 4′6″.

Honestly, I want to say more, but, for now, I’ll keep mum on spoilers.

Update

Heyo! I come baring good news, ladies and gents and royalty. To start with, the HelleniSwap story is currently in the process of being written— many thanks to Venom for listening to my rambles— now that the outline has been strung together. Second, the HelleniSwap AU now has a Discord server! While, yes, I am aware there’s only 8 lovely peeps here as of this moment, but it’s still one goal out of the way, friends!

You can find the server, HelleniSwap, if you click right here. We look forward to seeing you there!
