So do you headcanon a scene where the Bearer runs away from Olympus back to their home because they can’t handle the shift, and Athena or Hades goes to find them and has a heart to heart about everything that’s happening?
It’s not like they could give practical, helpful advice, but just finding the MC in the middle of a therapy session.
Sad how cultural conceptions can impede happiness in such a manner.
If my mc had a way to get away from Olympus, let alone back to the US, he’d have used it already by now.
Also given how much my mc really hates his supposed “father”, sending Hades to find him would never be a good idea and he hardly speaks two words to the guy anyway, “Auntie’s” look and reaction on finding him in theraphy about that would probably be hilarious though.
That seems to be surprisingly common for the denizens of Olympus in relation to my mc, unfortunately.
Could I recommend you a second role playing option for other play through ? You could have your character succumb to the relationship with Aeson and looking how your character deals with the guilt. Maybe he ended being a totally different person at the end of mad. I don’t know look like an interesting role-playing option
Oh yeah; I forgot the general consensus was that your MC had a burning hatred for Hades.
I don’t really think the same would happen with my MC; she has about the best relationship with her father she can at this point. And she genuinely loves Athena; whether she’ll get crushed by that trust remains to be seen, but for now Athena is for all intents and purposes mummy dearest.
I’m not surprised; you’ve entered an entirely new culture. It’s like being the only female in a culture populated entirely by men. No relating perspective possible.
Well my mc wants to like Auntie and she did raise him and, if her story’s true, has suffered on his behalf, but at this point he’s not exactly ready to trust her unconditionally again. She is one of the few people on Olympus he’ll really talk to though.
That explenation was once accurate in between after Rohie changed it but then she changed it back, sorry for the confusion.
Rohie has said at least once that they have fallen in love before–and of course, there’s the option of falling in love with Paris, as well.
I’d be careful saying things like that. It’s incredibly offensive. West Virginia is actually a very pretty state, and Georgia, while somewhat racist, is one of the more advanced states in the union.
They share a soul. They’re the literal definition of soulmates.
Dude, seriously. You’re getting into the offensive aspects. As a matter of fact, there is more incest reported in the EU and Australia than in the US–from what I’ve read over the course of my life. We don’t go around making fun of the daughters that have children with their fathers. Come on, now.
Think of it this way. You fall in love with a guy. You guys are the perfect match. His father is single, your mother is single. Through the two of you dating, his father and your mother meet. Your parents marry each other. Now you’re step-siblings. Would you stop dating the love of your life over something as arbitrary as a wedding that happened when you were FAR past your formative years?
This is actually a pretty common disorder – particularly when the genetic family members have spent years and years apart – or one was put up for adoption, and they met in their adulthood. Browse r/incest on reddit if you’re ever in the mood to be both grossed out and intrigued.
Having been raised in contemporary US society, I see nothing wrong with falling in love with someone who basically does no more than share a step-parent with you.
Personally, I don’t think it’s a cultural conception. It just sounds like a misunderstanding of what incest actually is, to me. It’s not like Aeson and Na Lavei were raised as siblings. Nor do they actually share any DNA. Not a strand. Their “relation” is the equivalent of sharing a step-parent. If you’re going to get weird and incesty about the Aeson-Lavei relationship, why don’t we get weird about the fact that they’re literally the same “person” in different bodies? That’s more weird to me than them sharing a pseudo-parent.
Me, when going to a new tabletop-gaming parlor. Went to a new one about three weeks ago. Was groped, fondled, leered at, and asked how much I charge per hour. Not even joking. Haven’t gone back. I’ll drive two hours to go back to the one in my hometown, instead.
My Nyx is the same way.
The temptation in my body to put in an FAQ and link it in the title of the thread (EG: FAQ on post 7000!) is so incredibly strong in me rn.
Thanks for the help!
Huh, becauseof me just now or because the question of the father comes up at least once a week sometimes just five comments or so apart? Because I just wanted to clarify that @Terriermon50 didn’t misunderstood what I wrote that time, but that the post the quoted was fromt he short time during which getting Hades as father indeed was only possible through not killing the seeker…eh and I think around that time the thread was very active so I don’t think that through some scrolling they would have come to the point at which it was changed back to the way it was in the beginning and Rohie stayed with.
But yeah a faq would be good as we all already noticed…
Because the father question comes up, the stats questions come up, there’s so many questions that get asked often enough that I sound like a broken record when I answer them. Like I understand not wanting to sift through 6,000 posts, but, like, there IS a search function attached to the thread…
To be fair some answers are difficult to find if you don’t know how to search for them (I know it, because I don’t know how often I already quoted the same thing again and again, because the questions don’t stop, but I often remember what I have to search for to find it, new readers don’t)
The question for a faq came already up a thousand posts ago, when you volunteer for doing one I say go for it, if the questions nag you that much. (If I would have any structure and motivation to do it I would do it myself, but alas, I have neither it)
Honestly, I probably will, and will just add it to Rohie’s title and let her be all “w8 hoo chnaged my titel g aise? this is why i cant leafve u for more than 2 seconds i s2g”
I feel your pain. I was offered by a grown men like 40 when i was 16 in a comic rpg convention in a nearby city the equivalent of 300 dolars for cleaning his jewelry … he ended with a good fashionable critical hit in the same jewelry… and a menace to call police.
.but I learned before in college that it was an actually black market in that convention with cosplayers being directly part of a prostitution mafia. All that nasty guys were jail … That type of conventions carry around a lot of nasty stuff like everything that moves a lot of money and a lot of people traveling.
Ah. I was not aware of this. I concede to the point.
Let’s just skip over this for now; I’m not sure if it was a joke or a genuine misconception, but either way.
Its not like people would care whether they understood it or not. In my opinion, people have always had a knee-jerk reaction to shun that which they consider unnatural. Most likely an evolutionary trait, but what most humans consider outside of the cultural and societal norm they view as a threat to that society and culture, leading to their rejection to it. It’s a very similar process to societal attitudes to homosexuality.
Always in the mood for that.
Don’t get me started; I’ve been gunning for this for ages. Rohie probably has me on some sort of block list whenever I mention putting up a helpful ‘father’ guide.
Wow. I’ve never been to such a gaming parlour before, and now I feel somewhat less inclined to go. Luckily for me shunning the outside world has been my #1 priority since before I was 10.
Well, at least that way she doesn’t have to do it herself (meaning more time to write the actual game) and should be anything wrong with the faq it would be easy enough to just change it.
We could really do a fan feedback questions and answers If @Rohie let us. I could even made a fan test about what father suits more each person Cosmopolitan style
"This week, we find out which all-powerful God in Olympus has their eyebrows most on fleek.
Find out on page 37".
That might not be what you meant when you mentioned Cosmo, but it’s what my mind jumped to.
Yeah, I very rarely go to any conventions, because I’m a moderately attractive female. I feel unsafe going to them 
Let me just point you over to this thread–lots of interesting stuff on the history of society and homosexuality: Is being able to be Bi or Gay that important? - #43 by FairyGodfeather
I think I was one of the first people to mention it to her 
They’re a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to connect with people that enjoy gaming like you do. My hometown is right near Washington, D.C., so the populace is generally very accepting. At my old game parlor, I got a few lecherous stares, here and there, but I’d been going there since I was, like, 3 – the important people knew me, and regulars would defend my honor if some newbie fedora tried to hit on me and be gross. Now that I live a good deal further south, in a rural area (still in my home state, though), gamers, in general, aren’t as common – much less female gamers. The commentary I got was absolutely horrific.
I’ll probably go ahead and do it. I’ll have to sift through and see what the most common questions are. I know there are a lot regarding the special items and such.
Last I recall, @Rohie encouraged stuff like this. But I’ll ask her in the private thread, too
And you won’t believe who it is! (Hint: it’s not Aphrodite! More on page 42!)
The Dutch government would make that choice rather difficult since our parents getting married would exclude us from (gay) marriage and all of the associated benefits. Still a step-brother, with whom I’d have no prior biological relation at all, would be rather different in my perception then a half brother, the more apt comparison would have been my mom remarrying straight after my dad died and that union producing a drop dead gorgeous half-brother, who for some strange reason is totally into me, now that would be kind of comparable to how my mc sees, and possibly feels about Aeson.
The first case is merely a badly written law, that can and perhaps should be changed on this issue, the second one is a scenario that would actually gross me out, no matter how hot my hypothetical half-brother would end up being, he may be one of the hottest actors and the best known male supermodel of his time, but I’d still be pretty grossed out by the thought.
Point is I think that for my in-game mc, the grossed out part would overpower the intrigued part.
We certainly have our own ass-backwards regions, however they have not produced such globally known stereotypes as the American Redneck, hick, mainly due to us not having something akin to, or as powerful culturally as Hollywood.
I’ll take your word on the first, the latter part seems to be a contradiction in terms to me however to be a contradiction in terms
Alright, alright, I apologize, already, it was obviously in poor taste and I apparently still don’t know all of the American trigger points.
I intended to reference the humorous Murican, redneck/hick/hillbilly stereotype, but apparently that’s not how it came across, so sorry for that.
No worries. It was just the number of times referenced that came across as offensive/rude. While we certainly have rednecks and hillbillies, they’re definitely not as common as what some foreigners think 
So it becomes slightly awkward when states that you’ve visited for long periods of time are called bass-ackwards
and re: Georgia – certain small towns in the state still seem to think it’s 1950, in terms of social awareness, but for the most part, Georgia has a healthy economy, a pretty strong state government, and is pretty accepting. Everyone I know who lives in Georgia is very socially forward. That doesn’t encompass everyone, but…
But I do get where you’re coming from. I just tend to disagree on it being incestuous at all
