Silent Wars Relationship playlists â Hera
okay so the idea of this is having a song from the perspective of the pov character, in this case Athena, to describe their relationship with the other characters of the story (as they view it)
How Hera views her relationship with...
...Ares: If we have each other (Alec Benjamin)
Ares is, in one way, Hera's eldest. She had a lot of first-time-mom trouble with him, but she loves him to pieces, and she is incredibly proud of him. They are a strong unit and very similar in how fiercely they care for their family.
... Athena: Safe and Sound (Taylor Swift)
Hera's other eldest child. She's very proud of Athena and sees her discipline, creativity, and moral drive, but she's also very aware of the underlying vulnerability. Especially now when it's more out in the open, she would like to keep her daughter safe and give her all the gentleness and love she deserves.
...Hephaestus: Rockabye (Anne Marie)
Hera adores her youngest just like her older children, and if necessary, it's them against the world. She will never accept second-best for him, and she'll do anything to ensure he gets all the love he deserves from her.
...Zeus: I knew you were trouble (Taylor Swift)
While it has long become a firmly established thing that Zeus will cheat and doesn't care what she thinks of it, and Hera has tried to accept it, that doesn't change that she's frustrated and hurt by never being a priority for her own husband.
...Metis: Birds (Imagine Dragons)
To Hera, Metis is more than just a friend who passed away. Metis is also her idealized version of what a mother should be, because she saw how well Athena was doing before her death. The fact that she doesn't *know* all the details of why and how Metis was good with Athena makes this worse, because she can project. There's something both wistful and guilty in their relationship as Hera is wondering whether she's doing what Metis would have wanted or whether she is failing.
...Hestia: Alone Pt. 2 (Ava Max)
Hera's oldest sister is her anchor. She trusts Hestia more than anyone else in the entire world, and she couldn't be more grateful to have her. Always having someone in her corner and ready to be there for her is the biggest point of stability for Hera.
While Demeter and Hera are a little more independent from each other than Hera and Hestia, they still love each other to pieces. Hera struggles with not always being able to help her sister, for example with her seasonal depression which, especially in light of what Athena is going through, Hera feels like she's left her too alone with or didn't try to understand enough.
