high school gods (insp. @okayodysseus)
likes: neoclassical ballet, keeping up with fashion trends, aggravating artemis, match-making, feminist rallies, the feeling of bare skin on silk sheets, the look of disbelief upon realising a pretty face â unintelligent.
dislikes: her âboyfriendâ, the bratty freshman who loves eros a bit too much, athena spoiling her fun when she messes around with boys, zeusâ straying, artemisâ inability to loosen up, a lack of appreciation of dance
favourites: MACâs âdangerously chicâ ultimate lipstick, drugstore makeup sales, Robert Joffreyâs Astarte, Aresâ latest motorbike
Out of the twelve (arguably fifteen but Hades, his girlfriend, Persephone, and Hestia tend to dip in and out) Aphrodite is undoubtedly the most unlikely member of the little group; unlike the others, she has little in common with anyone else in their crowd.
However, one thing that she has in common with the others is the fact that people nervous about her nervously. Between her looks and temper, and that story of what she did to poor Psyche (everyone knows, and it took two weeks for that news to finally get boring), sheâs like a goddess in the midst of mortals waiting to lay fruit on her alter, but are too afraid to near the statue. Ares doesnât seem to help, though the two donât really seem interested in one another until, well, they do.
Oh, and the hearts sheâs broken, to begin to discuss those would mean weâd here for eternity, and who has that long? Sheâd never tell the names of the boys sheâs actually cared for, but trust me, itâs a far smaller list. Who could be surprised with that silver tongue - thatâs another trait she shares with most of the twelve, one that could lead you off a bridge with the way her voice lowers and softens, and donât everyoneâs eyes dilate at the sound of that. Sheâs a tricky one - you really shouldnât believe anything you hear or see when it comes to her (but, yes, she is âdatingâ Hephaestus so her parents donât realise sheâs actually date Ares - that rumour is true).
