True then again I believe they also impress upon us that we are nothing and nobody until we come into our power on our eighteenth birthday and if the trials are tests to determine if we even get to live until then well that’s something my mc could understand, hate mind you but understand nonetheless.
However for more trusting, arrogant or confident mc’s I can certainly imagine that that sort of message would not go over too well.
Like Ares very quickly being at MCs throat. (and at least one of the council facepalmig confronted by that arrogance.)
That would be cool tbh. And if the MC was willing, oh my god. Look at all that glorious angst lashing out as vindictive anger killing :))
"I have longed for my family since I realized what it was that I was missing. I even searched for it in others…but…it couldn’t last forever. My one fear has been that I was never wanted. I was wrong…and right, and being so surrounded I’ve never felt more alone.
I know you’d prefer it if I were energy in a jar, only released and bottled at your hand. More than anything, that I know what it is to be human is the one thing truly beyond the gods. I did not choose this life, but now that it is mine I’m taking it back.
Still, I thank you for my life, though it would do you well to remember often enough to do the same…"
I know exactly what my MC would say.
Something like.
“So your threatening to kill me for not being on your side when you’ve taken my parents away forcing me to ditch my home, sent armed people wearing dark ominous hoods as your diplomats, which isn’t exactly wise, then you don’t even notice when said diplomats go AWOL and try to show my back their nice new sword!”
clapping
“So great oversight there.”
“And now that the diplomats bring me here you threaten me… have you ever once thought about being nice?”
“You could have literally asked me in a letter or email or shiny letters in the sky or however you gods communicate and I would have said yes. I’m that easy.”
Basically I want the chance to berate them on ever one of their failings
I straight up want to say to Hera “Do you actually think that threatening me is going to make me want to protect you and your family?” In real life, what she said would have pissed me off, made me immediately think of her as a threat to my life, and visualizing/plotting to take her out so that I feel secure. At the same time I would find her threat to be weak…I’m literally like 
. It’s weak in the fact that she needs my help but she’s threatening me…that makes so much sense…that’s really supposed to help her campaign for staying alive that she’s got going on 
.
Personally i’m indifferent to the whole situation because I would immediately accept the position and circumstances that I’ve been “forced” into because I technically can’t do anything about it at the moment. I wouldn’t say anything else to them because yeah we struggled but we survived…and I’m not going to waste my time being mad. I don’t know how my life would have been if we lived in Olympus anyways.
Aeson and I are on the same page when it comes to playing the game until we don’t have to play anymore. I’d play the game, take what I can get, use what I’ve got to the best of my capabilities, get my hands very dirty to win the trials, and then turn on anyone who has done me wrong.
I’m a bit confused as to how Saint is our brother. I know you have to share a mortal parent to be related but If we have Poseidon or Hades as our father how the hell did Priscilla conceive both of us? Did the Gods make her capable of having multiple babies at once or something? Or is he younger than us?
Either way, if Zeus isn’t our father Priscilla has been getting BUSY! Haha, jumping from brother to brother whew! Bad mommy dearest:triumph: whoever the fuck she actually is I don’t know yooooou.
Possible reactions:
I can think of more but this is from the top of my head 
(so not super refined)
It’s possible to have twins from two different fathers. For MC and Saint anyway two oocytes got fertilized so it’s not that unlikely.
Or maybe it was timewarping. That option on the other hand is unlikely.
Priscilla was pretty popular back in the day.
What? I literally had to search that up for confirmation. Jesus christ, that’s even worse because Priscilla seems loose but so do Hades and Poseidon. No judgement but damn, I wish I would have sex with someone my brother already slept with noooooooo.
Haha, yupp it seems they all wanted a piece of the pie. 
Well, Priscilla is pretty famous on Olympus. however personally hope it’s more because of her magical abilities
Oooh you’re challenging the gods! Haha, those are some good choices though.
I always choose the 3rd option since it feels the most neutral; the Bearer doesn’t hate the Gods, but they won’t say they love someone they barely knew or had as a part of their life. And I liked the fact that choosing that option makes the Bearer point out to Saint that it’s naturally that they defended themselves from the Seekers (something that clearly didn’t completely cross Saint’s mind). So it would be interesting to see the Bearer (who is neutral to the Gods and Seekers) ask a question that the Twelve didn’t think about or a question they don’t want to acknowledge, but the Bearer brings up
But even in your moment of fear, a question comes to your mind. Before you can stop yourself, you meet her cruel gaze, your pulse for a moment steadier than it has ever been before, and ask her the worst question: “Do you truly fear me that much?”
I genuinely would want to see some of the Gods react to having this question brought up to their faces, implying possible subtle feelings they hold toward the Bearer…or seeing Hera looking momentarily pissed off that the Bearer DARED to imply her reasons for bringing up their possible death is personal fear (or see that the Bearer didn’t completely back down into submissiveness) and Zeus having to dismiss them before they invoke more of her wrath (or the other Gods’ possible uneasiness).
You know you’ll never be a game writer when you cant even think about making an answer up. 
Well…That´s one way to put it.
…Persephone drugged you. I think that cancels out any love the MC might have for her. Mental note: Never accept food or drink from the Underworld… MC is far too trusting.
It’s practically expected in Greek legend. Especially if one of the fathers is a god.
While if I put myself in my MC shoes, probably less words and more action. Because not having a mom ( since she didn’t rasie my MC and her being so potential ho), my MC thinking he has a real family ( just find out the Gods our using him) and the Gods really not caring about killing him, everything would lead to anger and I know you say that’s ( basic) but that’s kinda how I am ( sadly). At first my MC probably would have a mental brake down and probably wanna hit stuff and yell that this is some bullshit. Then after knowing that it will never change probably be anger and every emotion would lead to anger and RO would be hard to really care about someone because that someone ( could be fake) and my MC doesn’t want to believe in a vision ( meaning seeing something that could or may never be). So my MC would stop caring about other views how things should be and do what he thinks should be done, but not without looking how it would effect things, I think he would take some charactics of his “Aunt Alice” , he will always look on how to win a battle but he would not do it on out right lying but do it in a way you ask something I will give you an answer but not all the details. So when you know which way I’m going it has already happen, and you would have to plan precautions around my MC. And if you so happen to stand for much that he is against believe me he will not protect even if you are a friend if you do a lot that he is against, you will be on his watch , and if have to potential I have to kill this person list when the time is right. But I think my MC would become numb to most emotions except anger, because giving all your emotions to one person can be fatal.
And you remember how I ask if Aeson steal Cally and you said no Aeson can’t still your RO, is that the straight truth or is it since Cally has had feelings for Aeson before you came, like you can’t steal something that was never yours. Because I’m starting see if I can taste apples before I choose one, if this is true. Because than I just wasted post about Cally being my MC RO but I’m not going to go after someone who has feelings for someone else ( that’s just a waste, but I have thing for tomboys). And does allure make romancing your RO easier because… I don’t have that. Can I have a wingman to help me out ( just never let Adonis be my wingman because he’ll most likely steal the girls I like, not Saint because he shows that he will mess up your moves by doing doing something like messing with chocolate fountain, and not Aeson because right now I seriously don’t like that dude, looks like no wingman for me I have little allure smh.) If my pickline “I’m the bearer” I feel like either they’ll like me for the potential power I will one day have or stone me to death ( well try to, they’ll definitely stone me) doesn’t look so good for me huh? (I will never be in that closet with someone😩)
