(Athena is going through her 12th box of tissues. Ares is patting her back.)

Ares: Got you some more books.

Athena (sadly looks at them): I used to read those with Odysseus.

Ares (slides them away): How about sparring? That always makes you feel better.

Athena (sinks into pillow): Odysseus was good at sparring.

Ares (to himself): So help me, Odysseus, if my uncle doesn't kill you, I will.

Athena: Ares?

Ares: Yeah?

Athena: There IS something that might make me feel better.

Ares: What?

Athena (meekly): Well, I read that petting puppies can help.

Ares:...

Athena: It can lower stress and elevate mood.

Ares:...

Athena (baby owl eyes)

Ares (sighing): (turns into a puppy)

Athena (smiling as she gets to pet the pup)

She is dressed in golden brown for me

Sheds her leaves like a second skin

There is fire, in your eyes tonight

No brighter sun, no darker moon

It's a new month so it's time for the April caption contest! This month's caption will be this panel from War Goddess #3 which is just so weird without context that I thought people would have some pretty creative ideas!

So caption it! What's happening? What are they saying or doing? Captions can be just a short caption, a dialogue or narration, even a song if you want, whatever you want to submit!

As usual, I'll choose the best/funniest captions for winners! There will be Steam codes as prizes for the winners, but you also don't need to play for a prize, you can just play for fun. 

Captions can be submitted here using DM, reblog, or reply, using Disqus comments on the main site, or by email at [email protected].

The caption contest will run for 2 weeks until the end of Friday, April 25 and winners will be posted on Sunday, April 27!

Good luck everybody!
