So with the Actor AU done for TSR, think you can do a rundown of how it would look like in Silverking?

Hrm...

Zeus: They'll probably act really well, until they have to do emotional scenes of the show (and yes, there is emotional Zeus somewhere in the IF 👀), which leads to the first ever hurdle Zeus encounter because romance and love is not a common thing for them. Otherwise, I imagine they would be the most serious, logical and straight-laced actor the crew would ever work with.

In their romance, Zeus would somehow gravitate to MC and sometimes offer to escort them home if they work overtime. In drinking parties, they might be willing to drink MC's share to prevent them getting drunk by the superiors.

Hermes: 😬 Eeeee...Very crabby. In the show, Hermes is already the quiet individual with a confusing, maybe a little standoffish attitude as a character. Them as an actor, it just means Hermes isn't afraid to speak their mind and only took the gig because they were given an offer they couldn't refuse.

In this romance, at first, Hermes would just eye MC, wondering who tf are they. But the more they got to know MC and fell for them, they end up 'accidentally' bumping into them and started being a bit more sociable, much to the shock of the crew. Would def be a bit smug if there's a couple paparazzi pics of them and MC together with dating rumours, even tho Hermes hates publicity.

Dionysus: The sweetest actor alive and very well known for being able to play intense, emotional roles. They act by the gut, where they have to feel and empathize more than think and memorize. Definitely the one who shows up in bloopers and has all the latest gossips in both the crew and what the publicity/social media is trending.

In their romance, they would probably become MC's biggest fan and try to muster the courage to ask if they want to hang out or something (totally not a date) , or maybe ask for an autograph.

Ares: Honestly, Ares didn't think they'd get dragged into a series, much less one with a romance genre. Sure, they did a lot of action films as an extra - a couple of side characters in war-based movies too. Is the type to analyze and dive into the mindset and thought process of their character and would be acutely aware of what goes on around the set through observations and unintentional eavesdropping.

In their romance, Ares would be curious of who MC is and, given how this is a big role that's new to both them and MC, Ares would probably ask if they'd be up to practice the scenes they have together. Would start off as coworkers, friends and then more.

Dolos: Okay, I'm not gonna lie - I legit picture that they're a major fan of MC and was surprisingly selected to star in the same series/movie as MC by the director or producer, which may or may not have nearly gave Dolos a heart attack. But in the platonic one - Dolos admires MC's work, which have been side characters and maybe some voice acting or podcasts. Dolos has been known in the acting world as a popular one, having been a child actor and growing up with amazing talent in stardom. Even if they don't put much effort in their work (they do, so long as the movie or show they're in is taken seriously and not just some adaptation to make money or ruin the source I'mlookingatyouWitcher), they're still well beloved and perfect. Is also known for having a lot of disguises so people don't know what their actual appearance is - not even the paparazzi.

In their romance tho, they're so much of a big fan of MC that they attend their handshake events and only ever bought MC merch or games MC voiced in. Come to think of it, I think Dolos would also be very quick with slamming down any haters of MC...

It's my favorite trope❤How would the ros react to mc falling asleep on their shoulder?

I tried to answer for all, but my braincells can only conjure up for one so ;u; hope you don't mind, anon!

Starting here:

M!Zeus

The room is comfortably quiet, save for the soft taps of Zeus's fingers gliding along with the keyboard like an elegant pianist with their wide selection of musical keys. The mission they have recently accomplished was tough but well rewarded soon after. It gave them the day off and, unlike his teammates, Zeus has resigned himself to finishing the paperwork his teammates loath so much.

No matter; it simply means he and [Name] can enjoy each other's presence.

It's a unique improvement. Normally, [Name], as quoted, 'wouldn't be caught dead doing paperwork'. Even as a librarian, there are some papers [Name] suffers under.

But perhaps this is [Name]'s way to spend more time with him or to ease his burden with such a heavy workload. It isn't necessary, but Zeus knows it is pointless to refuse the offer; the harder he pushes [Name] to not do something, they will simply return tenfold. An amusing charm of theirs, no doubt.

Something bumps against him. Zeus turns casually to the cause; he is usually on alert but after all they've been through, Zeus finds himself being less presumptuous of danger with [Name] by his side.

It is unusual to see that [Name] has fallen asleep on his shoulder though.

The rigid man softens his stance, watching the way [Name]'s face relaxes and cuddles up much closer to him. He reaches out with a white, gloved hand to brush the locks away from those shut-lid eyes. And Zeus admires their sleeping expression; so pleasant, so peaceful.

A smile etches on his lips.

F!Zeus

Now I’m curious what would happen if MC tells Zeus they like sleeping in the bathtub

They'll remodel it into a shower - bye bye tub 🤣🤣🤣

But honestly, Zeus would be extremely concern and most likely be either their alarm clock (checking into the bathroom if they don't respond to their call in two minutes), or lecture them how it is unsafe and bad for health.

Hell, if it went quite far, Zeus would feel a twitch in their hand and then declare: "Then I'll have to make sure you are properly cleaned and put to bed before you harm yourself through sleeping in your bathtub." It would take Oli and Dionysus to dissuade them...

[lilac-den]

LMAOOOOOO I can imagine Zeus doing everything from carrying a naked mc, drying and clothing them, then getting their temperature in the speed of light!!! They're not even bothered by it loooool

That man is just so efficient.

Zeus is the standing pillar of efficiency, much to Hermes's annoyance.

Zeus grew up in a pretty strict, professional environment, so they know nothing but doing their best in everything they do or work in. Oddly, they're one of the few beings who actually enjoy working.

Unfortunately, this leaves them pretty 'straight to the point' and have low emotional understanding at times.

[lilac-den]

I can't help but gasp a little because of Zeus being so sweet and caring from that wet hair ask! I sort of did not expect that tbh. I just thought that he would just tell our MC infos and stuff about not caring about their wet hair but then ma boi dried MC's hair himself! What a lovely child u have there :'D

I think they still would, but only if the MC ask what wrong could happen if they leave their hair wet (might even pull out a constructive slideshow if the MC allows them time to make a presentation LOL XD)

But Zeus knows that one can learn by the actions of others, hence why they dried MC's hair themselves. Not sure why they have yet to stop though. . .

After a rough day and hearing about Daft Punk splitting up, this is a breath of fresh air! Zeus, was the animal motif for the squad's masks a personal choice? If so, why did you choose a German Shepherd as yours?

“The designs in our mask are made to obscure our identities from our opponents. The animal motifs are, as you say, a personal choice. It is not the sole category, however, so some may adopt something akin to non-animal related.

As for my decision, Dionysus had expressed that it befits me most out of the options I have listed for consideration.”

[lilac-den]

So you've implied there's a bit of tension between Zeus, and Hermes insofar as they probably wouldn't interact outside of being teammates. We all know who would jump to the other's defense first if one of them got hurt, though. :)

There’s sort of some tension.

Zeus and Hermes got off on the wrong foot and while they do have their differences, they do care about each other in their own way.

And they do interact outside of being teammates - you’ll see some of these moments when there’s some chances of them :D No worries!

[lilac-den]

I always pictured Zeus to be this stoic little shit, not a little dork holding a camera and taking pictures and stuff I love it. Gimme more

The funny thing is that Zeus is actually an interesting type of leader.

They’re stoic, but they’re more impulsive than planner. Or more specifically, they’re impulsive in a logical way.

Which is what confused Zeus - for once, they did something that’s impulsive and emotional. To their body though, it’s only ‘logical’ to take a picture of the one they’re attracted to, so. :3 Take that as you will.
