🚧under construction🚧

This is an independent multi-muse roleplay blog for myth, folklore, and tragedy. I have several muses, many of which are from Greek myth and literature.

For a brief preview of muses, please take a look at my carrd (u/c). A more in-depth view of this list + other details can be found on this blog's notion page (u/c).

INTRO.

Monstra. 30s. Any pronouns.

Disabled & ND MexAm with a hyperfixation/special interest in folklore and myth, with a heavy lean towards Greek mythology. I work fulltime and am married with child, so I’m very low activity. But I will always be back eventually haha ❤️

NEED TO KNOW/GUIDELINES.

Communication is key. If there is anything—literally anything—that you need clarification on, please reach out to me directly. Sometimes things make perfect sense in my head and it doesn’t translate well at all.

This blog is adults only. This is for my own personal comfort only given my age and is regardless of subject matter.

Bigotry has no home here. I am not a perfect person and I don’t necessarily expect perfection from you [general] either, but I will not put up with open and unflinching bigotry. Same with bigotry on the basis of gender, sex, orientation, religion, nationality, ethnicity, race, ability, mental health, etc.

I am not interested in writing #GoodRepresentation. The characters I write are often of diverse backgrounds—which might include identities that I don’t share—but I am not interested in writing squeaky clean, “good rep” based on arbitrary criteria that I might not agree with. Fully realized persons will be complex, contradictory, and ultimately flawed. They may hold problematic beliefs, internalize and externalize bigotry, etc. It’s impossible to write perfect representation that will flawlessly depict everyone of XYZ marginalized identity simultaneously, and an attempt to do so will end up with a toothless, bland result. That doesn’t mean I’m giving myself free reign to be wildly offensive or just full-on inaccurate. If it’s something that I’m objectively wrong about, I will gladly—albeit embarrassedly—take that correction.

Basic etiquette for roleplaying applies. No godmoding, no puppeteering, etc. Roleplaying is a collaborative endeavor, so communication and choreography are both essential.

I don’t use icons, I don’t use special formatting, and most of my muses don’t have face claims. I will try to match length when possible, but it all depends on mood and whimsy.

I tag for triggers in the #wordtw format.

MORE TO BE ADDED?

Sad because I want to be self indulgent about certain physical things for the muses on this blog but I do still have to contend with like. Cultural ideas from ancient times in regards to aesthetics esp as I'm not Greek myself.

I like to play around a lot and I've kind of played with things enough that it shouldn't matter, but I want to be careful about certain things.

Transmasc (trans man?) Elektra who takes on Orestes's name after his death and murders his mother.

[trvgcdiv]

Hephaistos go-to drinks:

gas station: 5 hour energy shots or plain black drip coffee

caffeine: still on that plain black drip coffee. Imagine him with like a gallon thermos to get an idea of volume throughout the day.

alchohol: prefers distilled spirits (plain, on the rocks) vs wine, but probably should abstain overall

Extra/fancy: He'd fuck up an affogato but would never order it on his own

[trvgcdiv]

Hera's go-to drinks:

gas station: bottled lemonade or juice, the fancier the better

caffeine: caffe latte or cappuccino, but with extra shots.

alchohol: Red wine from her own vineyard, so the very best of California wines has to offer but on a divinely good level (the fancy wine comes out only during special occasions)

Milk tea: plain Thai milk tea, no add ins like boba.

[trvgcdiv]

Akhilleus go-to drinks:

gas station: 4loko Extra large slurpee but it's like Monster, mountain dew, or piña colada flavor

caffeine: 4loko Liquid Death Sparkling Energy (but he'd rather be having Alani)

alchohol: 4loko he'd probably struggle through a beer but would rather have those wine cooler slushies instead

[trvgcdiv]

BLANKS go-to drinks:

gas station:

caffeine:

alchohol:

milk tea / smoothie / milkshake

I've hit a wall on polyam headcanons. Let's vote on the next theme!

Next (unserious) headcanon post theme:

Favorite ice cream flavor

Go to drink order

Sims play style (or what they'd do instead if they'd never play the Sims)

Why would they be banned from NextDoor and/or get in trouble with the HOA?

What (unexpected?) small business would they open

Most embarrassing media opinion

Write in option

I'd rather you take your headcanons seriously

misc polyam hcs:

Hippolytos is super aroace + sex repulsed. you will NOT catch him in A relationship barring very specific and unlikely circumstances and even then it would not be a romantic relationship.

Orpheus: monogamous to Eurydice; may have more casual, monogamy-optional relationships after her passing and in other verses.

Asterion: n/a; he'd be happy to receive any kind of love idk about romance or relationship type

Hebe: I think she either leans monogamous or feels like she "should" be monogamous, but maybe isn't as strict about it as she thinks she should be. Would probably be polyam while exploring her sexuality overall—and I don't mean orientation so much as just exploring who she is as a romantic or sexual being—but if she ever got married, I think she would have a hard time not insisting on monogamy.

Polyamory has never occurred to Pandorus. I think, depending on the person, he'd have a hard time properly investing in one relationship let alone more than one. It's not a big driver of his.

Kassandra is low key noncommittal and evasive. Tough luck getting her into ANY relationship tbh tbh (assuming Apollon doesn't take the person out for trying)

[trvgcdiv]

Herakles is very much like a man of his time and as for polyamory, typically he's only OK with relationships being open on his end if he's with women. With men, it's not ✨like that✨ because, uhhh... It's not that serious for him tbh

(Omphale is, ofc, his Domme and ultimate exception in everything)

[trvgcdiv]

I should have a SGG polyamory headcanon, but here I go:

Klytaimestra is monogamous, but married to a cheater and then murders him with her affair partner.

I think she leans towards monogamy in general. She would enjoy having a partner in crime tyranny life.

Helen doesn't have the communication or emotional regulation skills to handle polyamory, but also she's doing tew much emotionally sometimes for only one partner. It would help if she also had friends.

Regardless of monogamy or polyamory, Helen needs friends lmao

I'm pretty sure I've talked about Penelope and polyamory before

Pen is so so so chill about it. I think she'd enjoy having a primary partner into polyamory to take the pressure off of being someone's only partner tbh

[trvgcdiv]

Hermione is meant to be in some kind of queer ass polycule in the PNW as one of many 20-somethings with dyed hair, face piercings and/or tattoos.

[trvgcdiv]

It's so hard to do polyam headcanons when a good chunk can barely handle being in a relationship with one person, let alone more than one.

OTOH I enjoy themed headcanons

[trvgcdiv]

Leto is so oooooooooo aroace, don't suggest polyamory to her, she wouldn't even want monogamy unless it was when her babies were little and she could've been queen but that was literally never going to happen to her.

But Leto is very nonjudgmental about others engaging in polyamory.

[trvgcdiv]

Demeter is not polyamorous, but she does almost exclusively enter into relationships with men who are capable of dying and that's how she keeps things fresh for herself lmao
