Forgo the boring versions of gods and heroes we have seen to often. Zeus need not be ancient with a great white beard, Athena not some tall woman bearing spear and nothing else. Let the gods represent both the horror and awe their domain can bring. My book has a Charon who looks more likely the northern barbarians then any man of modern Greece because when he was first prayed to those who roamed Hellenic lands were no different. Thanatos is horrifically young in his looks, a young man with no callouses on his hands, scarred by where chains once laid and patterned with spots so alike his mothers skies. Let Apollo be so tan that his skin is hardened, his hands ran raw by the ropes of a chariot and eyes half blinded by that thing he leads. Let Hera be adorned with one thousand items from one thousand marriage rites. Let her wear a ring on every finger and beads around her neck and waist. Let her have a painted faces and pockets full of charms. Let your gods be as diverse as those things they represent, for even if in this case we only let them be Greek they're are so many things that can mean.

I say we forgo this whole era of morally good trans characters and instead play the Disney card of making them all the most memorable villains and bastards you've ever read. Can't judge my transness when there are one hundred more prominent issues you have to approach first. What, are you going to be mad that I have tits Dave? Are you mad with my tits when the guy I just murdered is laying dead on the ground in front of us? Ooooh lets ignore his stab wound in favor of my A-cups why don't we?

Wow! If I had a nickel for every time a mythological girlboss was felled by apples, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right? Atalanta and Eve: ...

Hades got multiple things right about the gods, not the least of which being that they're all queer gender hoarding bastards with more family issues then all your collage roommates combined.
