I'm in desperate need to see more content of Hephaestus with Aglaea, Cabeiro, Aetna, Atthis, Helios, Thetis, Achilles, Eurynome, his sisters in law Euphrosyne & Thalia, any of his sisters through Hera, Erichthonius, Pandora, any of his various immortal children, or even his former stepson Eros (if he's written as Aphrodite's son alone like he was in several myths)
He has so many family members and friends who his relationships with are painfully underexplored
Hephaestus and Aphrodite retellings
"The only god who hasn't claimed me. The only one I want"
Why these books are obsessed with making Aphrodite monogamous for Hephaestus? Because breaking news: even he isn't man slept with Aglaia, Cabeiro, Aetna, Atthis
Aphrodite was turned into a "born sexy yesterday" trope...
This writer got the incredible idea that greek deities would be lazy about sex and don't interact with mortals outside of very specific conditions?....
Aglaia doesn't trust Hephaestus. It's over 😭
What you mean Paris and Helen are meeting NOW?!
Natasha, you know not every retelling needs to have the Trojan War shoved in the middle, right??? What, you're going to make Menelaus a bad husband and the dispute for the golden apple will be removed or twisted in a way so this creeply innocent Aphrodite won't look arrogant?
Incredible....
Aphrodite not only is ordered to marry and be faithful forever, not doing so means she goes to jail. Of course the man isn't threatened with the same punishment 😒
Hephaestus was known for not accepting insults, not for being kind
"learn just what true love is, how little appearances can matter".
World's top supermodel needs to stop caring about appearence while not-pretty IT guy get's to be with her
I hate when people use the appearance argument for those two because it's always Aphrodite who has to learn this lesson while Hephaestus is allowed to go after beautiful women
Irontosser is the best family name you could think for Ares?
What a surprise you turned him into a violent abusive football player
Many thanks to @pandacapuccino for this absolutely stunning picture of Hephaistos and Kabeiro she did for me! Check her out, she’s fantastic! Worthy of Love by M.M. Kin is available for reading on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Apple Store, Kobo, and other book retailers if you want to read the love story of Hephaistos and Kabeiro :)
“Hephaestus is asexual”
“Hephaestus is Aromantic”
“Hephaestus is touch deprived”
“Hephaestus is sexually inexperienced and reads romance novels to understand sex”
Does this look like a guy who is any of these things?
Cabeiro deserves more love from people who claim to love Hephaestus (She didn't give birth to 5 of his kids just to be ignored!)
Saw someone call Hephaestus sex repulsed… better go tell Aphrodite, Aglaia, Cabeiro and Aetna about how he was never actually enjoyed having sex with them.
I understand that ppl want Hephaestus and Aphrodite to be friendly exes (or at least had a messy break up but resolved their issues afterwards) but that’s more like his relationship with Cabeiro, he doesn’t seem to be in a relationship with her in most sources, but it’s clear (at least in the Dionysiaca) that he cares deeply for their sons and also that they seem to be on good terms.
