Welcome to my Twisted Threads AU! The general concept is that all of the characters in my dnd campaign have different classes and therefore different lives. Starting with Amanthi and Ulgan cus I had a strong idea for them!

I think the part of Twisted Threads that fucks me up the most is that the Olympians just... didn't have anything on Arachne. The "sexual indiscretions" she talks about Zeus committing are completely true- Heracles confirms so in Favored Son- in fact, Zeus' sexual behaviors seem to be well established public knowledge.

Athena is spoken of as a master of communications, she was, after all, the one who mentored Arachne and is an Olympian herself. And she does deceive, regardless of what she told Arachne, Athena does flat out lie using Arachne's voice at the end ("the recent accusations against Zeus have proven to be fraudulent"). But even Athena found Arachne's record to be so flawless that the only option the Olympians had was to kill her. Arachne had neither done nor committed anything that could be spun to be as remotely vile as Zeus.

There is the argument that Arachne's trusted (again, trusted, where the Olympians are largely not) voice and powerful brain made Athena believe that it was simply a better use of resources to kill and then puppet her. But I would argue that public humiliation and disapproval has repeatedly been shown as the preferred method of the Olympians to bend people to their will (Heracles and Oedipus) and the most effective way of making someone irrelevant regardless of their prior standing (Ariadne). Well, the song said it itself "Nothing goes to waste in the City," the Olympians would not have discarded Arachne if they had a way to regain control over her.

There was no way to "smear" her in return, for all her flaws exist only in her ambition, and that ambition was only a flaw to the Olympians, not the population of the City at large.

I have had nothing but Twisted threads on repeat for days. Please forgive the handwriting x

[ID: A drawing of Arachne staring straight at the viewer through a television screen. She is a thin black woman, with a purple long-sleeved shirt and white pants. On her shirt, there is a silver plaque with the Acheron symbol. Her arms are behind her back, and her image is slightly glitchy. She asks "Have you considered applying for Acheron pre-selection?". The television frame is dark and blue light illuminates it. End ID.]

When you run a place like the City, there’s a lot needs spinning: schemes, smears and a web of lies to keep the family strong. And if, like Arachne, you got a golden tongue and a mind weaves deceit like fine thread, Athena might just pay you a call.
