zeus/poseidon ┬┴┬┴┤ ͜ʖ ͡°) ├┬┴┬┴
SEND ME A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU…
WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO HURT THE OTHER? um. i think it’s safe to say that it’s pretty evenly matched in that regard… i think, accidentally, it’d be zeus, because the whole electricity/water thing (((:WHO IS EMOTIONALLY STRONGER? it’s hard to say – probably poseidon. sure, he’s a little ball of rage and inferiority, but i don’t think he’s as totally overwhelmed by emotion the way zeus is with his paranoia, his anger, his sadness, etc.WHO IS PHYSICALLY STRONGER? again, pretty evenly matched here. maybe zeus, if only because he definitely focuses more on his strength than he does agility, like poseidon does.WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO BREAK A BONE? zeus, because he’s always getting into fights in the mortal realm, always doing crazy shit.WHO KNOWS BEST WHAT TO SAY TO UPSET THE OTHER? poseidon just has to mention zeus’s throne and the king would get antsy – or insult his ability to rule. mentioning poseidon’s height or insinuating that he is in any way lesser than his brothers ought to do the trick.WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO APOLOGISE FIRST AFTER AN ARGUMENT? zeus, maybe? they’re both pretty adamant on the i’m right, you’re wrong front at all times, but i think zeus would cave a little sooner bc of the diplomat in him.WHO TREATS WHO’S WOUNDS MORE OFTEN? i just love the idea of poseidon straddling zeus, holding him down, and cleaning out the nasty gash on his forehead. (((: WHO IS IN CONSTANT NEED OF COMFORT? it’s a two way street, i think. neither blatantly asks for it, but they’ve both got a lot of hidden turmoil, so they’re always looking for affection, even if they pretend otherwise.WHO GETS MORE JEALOUS? i think it depends – poseidon gets more jealous overall, but zeus has a nasty rage when, unless discussed beforehand, his partner is getting flirty with someone else.WHO’S MOST LIKELY TO WALK OUT ON THE OTHER? ummm.. this is tricky. they’re both canonically famous for their one-night stands, but in a committed relationship, i can’t see… either of them doing it? especially considering they’d be straightforward about being TOTALLY polyamorous…. so a lot of shit would have to go down. maybe zeus, in regards to a bout of nasty paranoia?WHO WILL PROPOSE? for all his bells and whistles, it would be zeus and it’d be done in the most nonchalant way ever. they’d be sitting, eating breakfast and poseidon’s wearing some god awful pajama combo that he’s concocted, and zeus won’t have gelled his hair yet, and he’ll just look over at poseidon like ‘will you marry me?’ and make the sea god spit out his mouthful of lucky charms. that will forever be remembered as the day zeus finally got one up on posie. :DWHO HAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PARENTS? cue laugh trackWHO INITIATES HAND-HOLDING WHEN THEY’RE OUT IN PUBLIC? eh, it’d probably be pretty 50/50. i can’t imagine poseidon being as into PDA as zeus is, but he goes along with it anyway because a lot of people like to stare at his man WHO COMES UP FOR THE OTHER ALL THE TIME? what. like… to visit? because that would LITERALLY be poseidon.. ascending olympus and all that WHO HOGS THE BLANKETS? poseidon… for someone so tiny, he sure does take up a lot of space and resources. WHO GETS MORE SAD? zeus, i think… he normally gets pretty melancholy when he’s left alone for too long, even if it’s by his own choice. he’s always got a lot of dark things going on in his head ):WHO IS BETTER AT CHEERING THE OTHER UP? poseidon – he doesn’t have to try, but zeus often finds him really amusing, and thus feels better when poseidon’s around ( and they aren’t arguing ) WHO’S THE ONE THAT PLAYFULLY SLAPS THE OTHER ALL THE TIME AFTER THEY MAKE SILLY JOKES? poseidon always MAKES the silly jokes, but he’s also the one to slap zeus any time the poor guy tries to be funnyWHO IS MORE STREETWISE? eh, 50/50. i think they’re streetwise about different things, though. like, poseidon might know more about MEDIA, like movies, tv shows, etc, but zeus definitely knows more about things like technology and people.WHO IS MORE WISE? zeus, because that’s part of his job and he had the spirits of both metis and athena living in him for a long time. not that poseidon ISN’T, however.WHO’S THE SHYEST? uh, neither? maybe poseidon about certain things, ie asking zeus for help kissing, asking for help in GENERAL, but… neither.WHO BOASTS ABOUT THE OTHER MORE? i can just see a couple of scenarios where they both do – zeus probably does it a little more regularly, just little things like poseidon accomplished x! or he managed to avoid wearing sweatpants today! but poseidon probably has moment where he hears people shit talking zeus and he just bursts out with actually, zeus has done these great things, so stfu before i bash your head in because only i’m allowed to insult him.WHO SITS ON WHO’S LAP? poseidon, on zeus, all the bloody time. it’s a problem, really
