“It’s because I can’t cook, isn’t it.”

“Oh, stop sulking.”

Hades fixes his wife with a fish-eyed stare. “Easy for you to say,” he huffs. “He loves your gingerbread and your honeycakes. Your Scythian pastries, too.” Then, lower, under the edge of his breath: “Damned be those Athenian cooks, all but tripping over themselves in their haste to attain the honour of teaching you their secret recipes.”

“Baby,” Persephone says, pointedly, and she would have pointed, too, had Kerberus not been licking at her hands with quite so much delight. “You are a giant baby.”

Hades huffs, crosses his arms over his chest. Doesn’t quite deny it. “I am not used to having rivals, is all,” he manages, rather lamely.

“Well,” Persephone says, sniffling for effect. “You must accept it eventually.” She bites her lip, a child’s habit holding on with sticky fingers for all her fledgling queendom. “In the meantime, we can strike a truce — if and only if you promise to react with maturity when he curls up on my side of the bed.”

“…Fine,” Hades says, reluctant. She beckons him closer, and Kerberus divides his attention between them, albeit unevenly.

If only he had four heads, Hades thinks, wistfully.

Ares: Are you an easy person to anger?

“Anger is not something I feel—

“Let me correct myself.”

“Anger is not something I acknowledge within myself. I am too tired and too old and too aware to let such a toxic feeling bloom within my chest. It tickles me, surely, when something distasteful happens, and I hear it goading me to do something, anything. But I ignore it for the better.

“Sometimes. I may have slipped once or twice, but not out of anger.”

“Irrational things happen in the midst of anger. Not a thought is given and not a consideration is to be made. Only this explosive energy into ceasing an existence— an existence being a place, a person, or an idea. And it festers the more attention one gives to it.

“I cannot let myself slip up. As much as it could make me feel at ease breaking a nose or tearing down a church— It won’t. It’ll only invite more terrors.”

I still have like 2000 of each material and no outlet to get rid of them so my inventory definitely isn’t ok

shroudkeeper replied to your post “I ended up giving up on the last 3 days because the reward was...”

What was the reward?

1-12 got a “Saint of the Firmament” title (& and the 13-100 title, which is “Beatus/Beata of the Firmament”)

✎ When choosing a name for your muse, did you pick something special or meaningful in some way?

Around the time I was poking around beta, a friend of mine had reblogged one of those ‘word definition posts’… let’s see.

And to be dramatic about it, I just fell in love so deeply with it. It was something I felt on a personal level, I guess, and thinking that it fit with Keeper naming conventions fairly well, I went with it. Looking at those conventions, ‘Ahru’ just kind of came to me as I recall? (I don’t think I knew anything about League of Legends at the time, so no, it definitely was not inspired by Ahri). 

It’s been wild to me how much her name has deeply rooted itself into her character. Certain details of her backstory have been adjusted here and there over the years, but there’s always been this sense of longing, of a home she could never return to - never really had. And then Shadowbringers came along? That shit hit like a freight train. I just have a lot of feelings about her name and most of them hurt but in that really good sorta way. :’’’3

(It’s Munday!)

🤗 Send if you’d be interested in plotting a thread where are muses are strictly platonic but are extremely close, they are practically family to each other.  Yeah!

ooc: yesssssssss. I’d love to interact with Riv (or any of your characters) more! I’m about to rip open the dms and hit you up. Ric’s always in need of new friends and my other boys too :D

🍕 for a moodboard about my muse’s favorite foods

Hearty, bright, fresh ingredients from her homeland are by far the quickest way to Lyra’s heart. Tomatoes, grapes, and seafood in general are her favorites.
