#alectryon

Bro needs to stop acting like the ship doesn't literally have over 400 fanfics on Ao3 (and gods know how many on Wattpad) and over 2.000 fanarts on Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Fucking greedy bitch, you're literally getting fed on a daily buffet for free in a golden spoon because Hyacinthus is the only boyfriend Apollo has (since y'all seem to ignore Adonis, Cyparissus, Admetus, Helenus, etc), while there are starved kids waiting for crumbs of Perseus x Andromeda fanfics (literally 29), Cadmus x Harmonia (11), and even worse for me, an Alectryon stan (10, 2 are mine, three are in Russian and and in 4 he's just a side character). 💀

THE FACT THAT Y'ALL HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF MUSIC MADE BY FUCKING WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART HIMSELF NAMED AFTER YOUR FUCKING SHIP AND STILL WANT MORE, I'M FUCKING DONE

If I was Japanese, I'd already done the fucking harakiri.

Also, the tags for the other Apollo ships (like "Apollo x Admetus") I mentioned DON'T EVEN APPEAR IN THE TAG BAR, YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME. Y'ALL ONLY LIKE WHAT'S MORE POPULAR

Of course I’ve given Alectryon many references to Ares and his own myth design-wise, so I’ll list them

- first, his vulture—a bearded vulture, to be specific. Vultures are one of Ares’ sacred animals, and Alectryon uses his feathered companion to send messages.

- I’ve given him many things matching with Ares, including his war paint, his armor, and his sword as well. I like to think his sword is part of a set, and Ares has the other, as seen in his Hades II portrait. Also peep Ares’ sigil on his chest.

- rooster feathers. Lots of them. And his tail is, in fact, attached to his body. In my Hades interpretation, he’s already been turned into a rooster once before, but was given another chance to be human. Though he still has some rooster traits as a result. He’s still paranoid about the sun rising, no doubt

In Hades II, Alectryon—unlike all other mortals in these games—is not a shade. He’s a warrior, a young one at that, and to be alive during wartime makes him more interesting, yet alone fighting a battle meant for the Gods.

Alectryon can be found on the summit of Olympus, able to hold his own against Typhon’s children due to Ares’ favor. He will always appear if Melinoë has more than two boons of Ares that night. Similar to Artemis, Alectryon helps clear all enemies that encounter. Afterwards, he will offer Melinoë a choice of 2 nectar, 100 bones, or a rarity upgrade to one of Ares’ boons that night. He also has a chance to appear side-by-side with Athena, but will not offer anything.

so you know how during Christian colonization the Christian destroyed statues based off their domains (removing Apollo’s arms so he can’t make art, Aphrodite’s face etc) what if that had a physical impact on the gods?

consider this: you, the player is one of the few living Hellenists that still worships the pantheon despite the Christian colonization. And when you pass away instead of being meet by Hermes or Thanatos. You somehow end up in Olympus.

it’s empty.

and so your goal is to help fix the sacred statues of the gods in order to restore them to their rightful glory while avoiding them imagine being followed in a hauntingly beautiful lake or river while a faceless Aphrodite chases you. Her face dripping with blood staining the water where she walks. Artemis patiently hunting and stalking you through the woods, Hera watching you through the eyes of her peacock.
