My Version of Kronos and Few Headcanons :3 (Lore in coming)
This is my interpretation of Kronos, the Titan of Time, and the transformations he underwent while trapped in Tartarus, as reflected in his human disguise. Such as the loss of pigmentation in his skin and hair due to the lack of light in Tartarus. The scars on Kronos' eyes are from the thunderbolts that Zeus inflicted, as well as made daddy dearest completely blind (Really deserved the father of the year award for getting what you deserve, buddy >:^..) However, he is still the same power-obsessed tyrant, just with a gentle facade to fool people (Think Cruella de Vil and the Queen of Hearts mixed with the personality of a sweet grandmother as a facade).
In his titan form, however, Kronos became a monstrous entity sporting a tongue with hooks to hold on to whatever he is going to devour and a row of serrated teeth. That tongue can also split into three separate tongues with their own individual hooks. Fingers that have the bones protruding at the tips, looking like claws. The dull grey hair covers his eyes (Cómo la llorona) and is long, reaching to his ankles. Kronosā mouth also changed to have slits at the corners that reach almost to his ears (wounds that he got from swallowing his children wholeā¦He would do it again cause he wants to.)
(In coming lore.)
In the past, Kronos actually had a father and son relationship with Krystallos (Iāll do Koios later, but what I can tell you is that Krystallos and Koios never had one even though Krystallos was adopted by the Lord of the Northā¦.How else was he able to manipulate Krystallos so well into taking innocent lives ). At first it was harmless, or so Rhea thought, as Kronos would treat his adopted nephew turned executioner like an actual nephew once his own children were born. It did not, only began escalating after devouring Hestia as a way to cope. By the time Kronos devoured Poseidon, the king of titans convinced himself that his only child was the executioner right in front of him. This would sour the relationship between Krystallos and Rhea even further and cause resentment within the Queen of Titans. While deluding himself into believing that Krystallos was his only child, he would have meltdowns (Queen of Hearts meltdowns to be precise .) if his executioner was not in the throne room with him, turning into a cruel monarch with an iron fist.
After losing the war, Kronos continued to descend into insanity and slowly changed into the monstrous entity. The final time he ever saw Rhea was when he completed the transformation and was too deep in within the delusion that he attacked her, as if he was a mindless monster. Sensing the amount of fear that his wife emitted as well as having a major meltdown that Rhea could no longer soothe. Causing Rhea to flee, for he is no longer the husband she once loved.
Along with the other four, Kronos remains in Tartarus, waiting for the moment heād be free from his confines and take revenge on those who dared to defy him (And to put Krystallos on the throne like he wanted.). Wellā¦He got part of his wishā¦How so??? Through the tampering of the cage that held him by a meddlesome mortal, setting that unstable baby eater, delusional, tyrant freeā¦.(Not only that, but he left Koios, Iaptues, Crius, and Hyperion in Tartarusā¦Selfish >:^. ). The other partā¦Not so much (No spoilers.)
Mini Head Canons (And Krystallos lore.)
Krystallos used to babysit Hades (Hesita was already swallowed by the baby eater of a dad >:^ ) when Rhea needed help (It was also some for some experience on taking care of babies. Rhea never believed that her nephew didnāt want to be a father one dayā¦So this was her experimentā¦Before the Kronos baby eating incidentā¦Which is head cannon number 2)
In order to devour Hades (While Krystallos was baby sitting the young godā¦Mind you) Kronos mixed a powerful sleeping drug (because not only he is the Titan of timeā¦He is also the God of the harvest.) and placed it inside the drink of his adopted nephew not knowing that the drug would place Krystallos in a disoriented state. (He temporarily forgot that his executioner built an immunity for drugs such as the one he made with plants and neurotoxins.).
At first Kronos did in fact wanted to be a father, however, when holding his first child, Hesita, the feeling of wanting to be a father began to dim into something cold and bitter (That and the fact that Uranusā curse was coming true when he saw her future.) The delusion of already having a child within his adopted nephew was as stated before as a way to cope but also a way to escape the curse that his father placed on him (The cannibal thought he found a cheat code in the curse. It almost worked to ).
When Krystallos saw Kronos devouring Hades through the godling screaming for help through his disoriented stated, Kronos used these words āYour the only child that I consider my own, besides what I saw in that child could destroy this Golden ageā¦You know I love you, right?ā manipulating Krystallos every single time when Kronos devoured his own children, using that father son relationship to do so.
Any child of the gods is automatically on Kronosās to eat list( and he loves eating them.)Unless you are the child of a titan, whether pure, half, quarter, adopted or a demi-titan. Kronos will not eat you. However, if your parent is also a god, in his mind youāre parent is only the titanā¦Not the God (Starā¦.Please donāt get mad if my Kronos assumes Evaās only father is Krystallosā¦Or when he calls Evaās children your titan loverās grandchildrenā¦Kronos is mentally unstable and delusional.)
Kronos has the ability to transform into what ever is feared the most and if he senses fearā¦Youāre cooked and devoured in one fell swoop. The only people that are able to bypass his ability is Koios, Hyperion, Iapteus, Crius and who ever worked for him (all from his dimension.) Krystallos also can bypass Kronosās ability as he also worked for him as his executioner.
Well this was longā¦But this is my interpretation of the Titan of time and cannibal himself, Kronos. I added a bit of head canons and some Krystallos loreā¦(Psā¦Star if you are readingā¦My Kronos is pissed off that you have to nerve to fall for his ābeloved nephew.ā And somehow bewitched himā¦His words not mine :3)
