one of the most fun parts of imagining The Revolution is thinking of How the god's powers would mix and match and counter each other
like I imagine one of the first things apollo would do would be to safeguard his children against zeus because he's learnt his fucking lesson so then I ask how he would do that and I find the answer a solid he would ask hestia who ideologically hard counters zeus with her family domain for when he tries to pull a(nother) kinslaying and that's how I make her join
The Zeus And Hermes Villain Team™ with olympus becoming a surveillance state NIGHTMARE and zeus becoming more and more unhinged until he decides to go full scorched earth and the night is bright from the Torrent of lightning you can see raining in the distance and the media keeps insisting Everything Is Fine and if you ask anything alarming or cry for help it's either Completely Ignored (almost as if you hadn't posted in the first place) or in-real-time Censored and no matter where you try to go all the roads seem to loop back
I try to think How The Fuck would the revolution team keep their communications and locations and movements and even fucking verbal conversations safe from fucking hermes spying and having a 24/7 front row seat and maybe artemis who Would go physically track them down and find them if he can't and then it hits me– Dionysus. we don't have anyone who can hide and occlude but what we do have is someone who can distort any information and act both as encrypter and nat 20 psychic damage cognito hazard
it's just fun, zeus vs apollo, storm vs sun, zeus' lightning being physically tangible makes it more dangerous and harmful and stronger than just light but that very same immateriality makes apollo's light pretty much invincible because it cannot be moved
