Bwahahahah!! Ha! 
“Brotherly love” for the runt of a brother they’ve just met and never known and whom they’ve been training for most of their lives to very possibly kill in those “hero” trials. That’s rich.

Here’s smth I’ve been curious abt for a while. Are there disabled demigods? We know that demigods have a longer lifespan than mortals, and that they’re far stronger, so there’s the possibility there might be other biological impacts; not that being disabled is one of them, I was just wondering if there was something that might prevent a demigod from being disabled, in particular. It made me wonder abt immunity, too.
in ancient times demigods with problems were cruel slained or a mock for their parents. Probably in this version less dark gods essence save demigods of having genetic disabilities

Imo, you can totes explore that (ovo write/draw it :> I don’t think Rohie would mind the fanfics :))
Are you accusing me of accusing you of accusing fries? 
For shame, @Dark_Stalker; I am a very kind and polite member of the forums. I would never verbalize a sense of sarcasm to a situation a̶l̶o̶u̶d̶. 
Are we talking the Demigods having physical disabilities or or something like learning disablilties? It’s sort’ve tough to say how this story’s Gods and Demigods would react to a Demigod with either disability (especially since they seem to put a lot of focus on their Demigods being ‘strong’).
Ah, Hephaestus is actually disabled. Though myths differ slightly on whether he was born lame, or Hera made him so by hurtling him into the sea due to the displeasure of his birth. Supposedly born with a face only a mother could love, except she didn’t. None of the gods could ever be lauded for parent of the year…

And he was mocked forever by all of them. Anyone disabled in the Greek culture was treated as shit except maybe if was a war veteran who was known for his brave fight. Euthanasia is a Greek word for something.

Absolutely, there are parallels to this world and Olympus. In a world that values perfection, imperfection is not only a hindrance, but unfortunately, a target. Which explains Hephaestus’ understandable desire to be left alone with his own creations…

And yet, in a number of myths, he is also described as a kind, patient God with remarkable craftsmanship, though (naturally) a bit bitter due to how he had been treated in the past. Which is why I’m curious about him the most out of all the Greek Gods so far (Hestia being the god I’m the second most curious about).
He shapes substances oft used to cause pain. If he fails, if one of his “children” is misshapen, who else is there to see? Perhaps his aloofness has allowed him to foster some semblance of empathy/sympathy? I don’t have a great desire for attributing human emotions to divine beings, but I do wonder if the entire forging process is somewhat cathartic for him–remaking the strongest materials into more seemingly revered images than himself. In this only, Hephaestus is viewed as worthy and master.

That’s so deep 
He is a Greek good not a modern hero he did a lot of nasty stuff like all of them. Imagine any as a positive icon is a modern interpretation. A cool one. But I like all gods being treacherous and vengeful
I would never accuse someone of accusing me of accusing fries. I am a morally righteous soul. What I was accusing you of was accusing me of was sharing with brother.[quote=“Quaintrelle, post:9588, topic:15482”]

I thought it was ambiguous, and he was either ugly or disabled since it meant the same thing in Greek?
Depended on the story. I read one version where he was born ugly, so Hera threw him into the ocean from Olympus, and his legs ended up messed up due to the impact of the fall (and a couple of sea nymphs saved his life and raised him themselves).
In another version, he was born disabled (not necessarily ugly, but described as rather plain by god standards) and, while Hera didn’t throw him off from Olympus, she flat out ignored him, and he kept himself busy crafting many things (which caught the eye of Zeus, who was proud and impressed by his son’s skills).
So I accused you of accusing me or accusing fries when it really was that I accused you of accusing me of accusing you of sharing them fries with your bro; got it.
Guess I’ll have to see for myself what you had done to b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶ create a kinship with your loving brother.
I rewrote the universe with the essence of course.
Hera’s definitely my least favorite goddess. No matter what I see her in. Woes to bearers who are offspring of Zeus.

It’s not from nowhere this was one of best wip and popular posting so is totally normal.
That explains so much. 
She’s not exactly one of my favorites either; I never liked how gave Zeus’ children a hard time just for being born. Part of me feels that her attempts to intimidate the Bearer stems from jealousy, regardless if they’re his child or not (since the stat screen say that the Bearer is rumored to be one of his favorites, regardless if he’s their child). She may not have been one of the Gods to know who fathered the Bearer, but when it comes down to it either
- He took a great liking toward them as a child due to the fact he is their father (a natural trigger for Hera)
or
- He took a great liking toward them DESPITE the fact he is not their father, which could feel like adding insult to injury for Hera. Because Zeus getting attached to a child that she herself did not birth and one that he’s not even a father too? It must seem worse for Hera than him taking a liking to one of his actual children.
I do have faith that @Rohie will likely write Hera in a well-fleshed out way that can invoke some sympathy toward her (heck, seeing Hera through the eyes of Leon/Korrina made her look a good deal differnt from the bitter woman who was staring the Bearer down).
