I could never, a lot of the people she punishes because of Zeus did nothing wrong and the other gods have overpowered Zeus before, and when she finally had kids she hated them despite wanting Viagra daddy’s kids since forever.
Fish daddy is clearly the safest choice since he doesn’t have a wife like bone daddy or Viagra daddy Though bone daddy is clearly the best regardless. [quote=“Okami-Nora, post:9602, topic:15482”]
That explains so much.

Would you believe me if I said Saint, Calypso, and Adonis are in groundhogs day loop because I keep rewriting the universe [quote=“Okami-Nora, post:9602, topic:15482”]
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.

Since she doesn’t know I’d assume she thinks Zeus is the father no matter what given his hubris.
But she and the rest of the Greek Gods learn from the blood offering scene who the Bearer’s father actually is (I’m honestly surprised that the Zeus Bearer didn’t glance at Hera and end up noticing her trying to kill them with her eyes).
Yes, she likely didn’t know beforehand who the Bearer’s father was (which naturally fueled her dislike toward them cause there was a 1 out 3 chance that their father was Zeus and probably was interacted a bit by the three potential fathers to begin with, creating more suspicion in Hera). But it might not have felt anymore pleasant for her to see not only did Zeus favor a child that wasn’t sired between them, but it turned out to be a child who wasn’t his own to begin with.
…I would believe this is what you’re saying on the inside.
I want to go deeper. I want to send bad gods into the folds of the human psyche from whence they were born. I propose that the real world is far worse than Olympus because humanity is a weapon itself, with the greatest potential for good. Is it not worse to know better and yet still cause such harm? Are the most evil of deeds kept at bay merely because humanity does not the means to achieve them? What would the state of the world be if all men were gods? Utopia or an even darker Olympus?

The wolf is clever indeed.
For instance:
When Lavei becomes the PTB, Saint should be evolved into Frydusa–wherein his hair is replaced with curly fries. (Onion rings if one just wants to be cruel about it.) Both his punishment and his boon…

Personally I was hat shopping and got pulled into a portal.
Either! I wonder; it’s got some interesting implications. I.E, if there are demigods with learning or physical disabilities, does the Essence somehow compensate for tht? Have they got strengths tht other Demigods might not? I don’t think it’s likely, but regardless.
Personally, I loathe Hera despite being somewhat understanding of her behaviour, because of the way she treated Hephaestus. She’s literally the goddess of marriage and family, the Greeks were wild abt irony lmfao. I’ve disliked every portrayal of her since.
I know this is a ways off, but smth I’ve been hoping for since I first played this W.I.P is an end-game tht involves stripping the gods of their ability to produce offspring, and having the institute shut down after the last class of demigods graduates (with thorough curriculum revisions LMAO). I know that’s what my Hades!Bearer wants to do, the fantasy she sustains instead of thinking abt tearing Hera’s limbs off and beating Ares with them (my Zeus!Bearer will probably get confrontational with the both of them, @ some point after everything is over. Or before! If they manage to incite violence prior, IG).

My bone daddy kid needs more dead people.
Plus it sounds pointlessly mean to do that. I mean Hades has been pretty good about it. And Athena, Artemis, Hestia… Thanatos… Chaos…[quote=“Okami-Nora, post:9606, topic:15482”]

Then go do Aphrodite; Adonis is a innocent young man. Well, relatively innocent; who knows what Aphrodite taught him (he’s innocent to actual feeling of love, that seem certain at least).
Last I checked, the Bearer has yet to turn 18 yet. So…
We’ll…see what Adonis can potentially become to Evander. Very likely just a close friend, but who knows; maybe the two will end up developing a romantic interest equal to the one Evander currently has toward Calypso alone (just to make things more complicated for the Poseidon Bearer).
Well, Palaemonius’ clubfoot didn’t stop him from being an Argonaut. Even papa Hephy has gifts that surpass the other gods in the areas they lack. I can imagine, though, that demis are led, or more likely pushed, toward their strengths. As long as they have some use, they would be used.
Ah, I meant more along the lines of an advantage that other demigods may lack? I’m not sure I’m articulating this well, but the in-game codex mentions that children of Zeus can manipulate lightning, but tht not all of them can handle the physical drain. I was wondering whether a disabled demigod may be better-equipped in that regard, to be specific. An edge over others, so to speak.

You are doing more than well, I apologize for ribbon dancing around the point.

As in, being blind may heighten one’s sense of hearing beyond the norm? It is quite fascinating to explore if a tendency to balance in nature extends to children that are demi-natural.
Substitute Adonis with Aeson for me, hopefully that will get rid of my poor mc’s lust for his “brother” and reduce the therapy needed to get over that from decades to mere years.
Bwahaha! He’s a fully trained killer same as the rest of them. This thread is turning into comedy gold lately.
Let’s not forget they’re all pursuing the “hero” title and old Greek and Roman “heroes” would in today’s terms most likely be referred to as vile scum instead. Though I’m sure Mara could provide a more lurid description.
The Greeks do love their ironic comedy. It’s only fair we take some moments to enjoy said humor as well (‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do’, as the saying goes).
Joke aside, there’s a small difference between having the skills to kill and using the skills to kill. Evander is highly skilled combat wise, but has a average strength ranging from 45-50, much of it stemming from the fact he dislikes hurting others and almost subconsciously holds back because of it. Damon, however has good combat skills and strong strength that ranges from 55-60, which compliments the fact that he is much more pragmatic in fighting and isn’t against giving someone reasons to visit a hospital when they threaten him (not he takes enjoyment in fighting clearly weak opponents). That’s not to say neither can’t do the opposite of their preferred methods in combat; Evander can become quite merciless when more than just himself is at stake, and Damon (as much as he’d hate to admit it), does still have a heart and can’t bring himself to harm a clearly unwilling adversary (unless something was REALLY wrong with them). But both are more inclined for using their combat skills in different ways.
Someone can have the world’s most deadliest sword in their hand; they may even have the right skills to use it to end an enemy’s life effectively. But it’s how one chooses to use it that defines them, whether they are someone who uses it to end all opposition permanently or someone who uses it solely for self-defense due to have a very merciful soul.
Judging by Saint’s smile when he realized Donny had ‘company’, I’m going with ‘relatively innocent’ too in ‘that’ regard . He’s more socially innocent since he can be a bit insensitive toward the Bearer in a number of regards.
Aeson, in regards to relationships, may be in the same boat as Adonis, but for different reasons
Though bone daddy is clearly the best regardless. [quote=“Okami-Nora, post:9602, topic:15482”]
