GODS ARE BORN OF ICHOR & NECTAR.

RULES:

ONE.  triggering content will be present on this blog, including but not limited to: death, torture, incest, mentions of sexual assault & sexual abuse, alcoholism & drug use, and other nsfw topics. i will do my best to handle these issues with tact and all will be tagged accordingly.  with all of this said, follow at your own discretion.

TWO.  when it comes to following or unfollowing, there are a few things i do not tolerate: bigotry or hatred of any kind.  untagged drama or vaguing.  sidelining of minority characters or storylines.  guilting others into writing with you / the use of the term ‘elitist’ to refer to friends in the rp community.

as a personal note:  i also tend to unfollow people who are extremely negative about zeus. i recognize that not all people are going to like or appreciate him as much as i do, nor do i expect it.  he is a controversial figure, and i am fully aware of this.  but i like to write in a space that makes me feel as though people enjoy and respect the characters i write, and as zeus is the main muse on this blog, explicit hatred towards him from my rp partners makes me feel funny. 

THREE.  shipping is always welcome and encouraged.  i am open to almost anything, so long as each of my muses’ preferences are taken into account.  family relationships are my favourite, and i tend to lean towards those, so feel free to reach out and we can explore those as well!

my main persephone for hades and aphrodite for ares can be found at ichoric.

hera will be shipped with zeus only.

my demigods will require plotting ahead of time before i will write ships with them.

FOUR.  other fandoms are welcome here.  i am open to exploring new verses and coming up with au’s to write with you.  throw your oc’s at me, as well!

i will always write with pjo characters, as long as it is clear that my gods are not going to behave the way riordan’s gods do.

i will also not write with oc children of athena, hera, or persephone.  oc children of hades will be dealt with on a case by case basis but must be discussed ahead of time.

i will not write with lore olympus based characters. 

star wars: my knowledge of the universe is growing, but i have not seen every project yet (still missing: the mandolorian, ahsoka, tales of series). i'm okay with spoilers, but please bear with me as i'm still learning!

FIVE.  my formatting is minimal - no icons, small text.  my only request of my partners is to avoid using more than 2x spacing, as i find it very difficult to read.  other formatting / lack of formatting is fine!

SIX.  you are always welcome to send any kind of meme at any time - shipping memes, smut memes, or anything in between, and you can always continue an ask after i’ve answered it.  let me know if there is an ask you have answered you would like me to continue.

SEVEN.  regarding hades and persephone: my default for their relationship is that hades did in fact kidnap persephone, and that demeter was not an abusive parent in this situation. i am open to discussing alternatives with new partners as they come up, but this is my opinion on the matter and will be how i write their relationship unless told otherwise.

sidenote: zeus did not tell hades to kidnap persephone.  he gave hades his blessing, for all it was worth, and told him to figure out the rest with demeter.

the stormlight archive:

athena is a big fat lesbian whose understanding of her own sexuality is one of the few things she couldn't seem to figure out - not because she felt any shame about her attraction to women, but because she understands connection about as well as i understand physics lmao. for all her wisdom, athena's emotional intelligence was severely lacking for a long time - and so despite experiencing attraction, she never knew what to do with it. it took a partner metaphorically bonking her over the head with it for her to understand - and that bonk was in the form of them.. like... dying, so athena was forced to confront the depth of her attraction and feelings, lol. thanks, pallas!

hermes would be attracted to a street lamp if it had the right curvature. he can always find something to be attracted to in a person, regardless of gender, and his sexuality is the kind that's always in search of enjoyment. he will sleep with anyone if he thinks it'll be a good time, and he doesn't need it to be anything deeper. establishing that kind of connection with someone is incredibly rare for him.

eros talks a big game when it comes to his sexuality, and he often plays or seems to play the part of, to put it simply, fuck boy. however, one look at his relationship with his wife wipes that away. he enjoys sex and sexuality and the exploration of both - i think his wife does too. however, eros feels things very deeply, and his domain of love intertwines sex and love in a way that makes it very difficult for him to unravel on his own. he can play the part, and even represent, a kind of attraction that is based in the physical, but for him, sex and love are so so so connected. his attraction to others is plentiful, but he loves just as widely and when he wants a person, he wants them in every way imaginable.

artemis views sex between people the same way she does the mating of animals - something deeply significant, fascinating, necessary, but ultimately not something she cares to participate in lol. as a goddess of childbirth, she is not the kind of person to shame others for the sex they choose to participate in, and in fact, she values it deeply as a necessary part of life and a source of deep connection. she's still ace as hell though, and doesn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole herself.

🏳️‍⚧️ for a gender headcanon !

athena is a trans woman, but i think her experience of that is so irregular on account of her "childhood", that i don't think she really even views herself that way - at least, not until a modern era where these sorts of conversations are prevalent. no, to athena, she is a goddess who crafted her own image, her own body, her own name out of the memories of her mother, in defiance of a prophecy she would never fulfill, and sure - she may not be every part the goddess that someone like hera or aphrodite are, but that is irrelevant to her. nothing about her is typical, after all. (this does not mean there are no challenges, but labels in that regard do not mean much to athena).

hermes is a he/they in the sense that gender is as much a constraint to him as the rest of society is, and he's not interested in fitting perfectly into any boxes. he's still fairly comfortable and confident in his masculinity, but that doesn't mean he's contained by it, and i'm sure there are parts of his gender that are more fluid than others.

eros takes a lot of pride in his physique and places a lot of weight on it in terms of his gender, and what it means to be a man. to him, it's keeping his body at its best. peak physical performance and an appearance he's proud of.
