Mourning Intensifies

Pats shoulder companionablely

Let us all mourn together, fellow Children of the Gods, for the heavy losses of Poseidon and Hades, along with the dream of having a genuine bond with our Godly fathers. Though both are now unattainable, the God of the Seas and the God of the Underworld will always have the strongest influence toward our Bearers in a way that Zeus can only pretend he’s capable of achieving (at the moment).

By the Twelve, that was so ridiculously dramatic on my end :rofl:

I wonder if we take the romance route with Aeson, would it be possible to call him cheesy stuff like: ‘‘My other half.’’ ‘‘My soulmate.’’

I mean, our destinies are intertwined. So those lovey-dovey words would actually be true. Aeson holds the other half of the essence, so the ‘‘my other half’’-thing is actually legit.

tbh I’m blown away by how many people wanted Poseidon as their Pop-Pop.

I’ve only been aware of this game for like a week, so I don’t know 100% understand the fandom’s interpretation of Poseidon. According to the comments, he came off as chill and just kinda…je ne sais quoi

My gut tells me that there used to be more Poseidon content or word-of-god had really cool scenarios with him…either that or Percy Jackson had more of an affect on fans of mythology than I initially expected.

idk, would anyone mind giving me their thoughts on Poseidon? I just really feel that I don’t have the full picture here.

I already have a set image of how he is.

Poseidon:

Raped Medusa in Athena’s temple.
Athena gets triggered.
Athena can’t punish Poseidon since he’s a member of the Trinity.
She punishes Medusa instead, when Poseidon is clearly the guilty one.

Although the tale seems to differ from person to person, some say she slept with him willingly and some say that she got raped.

@rose-court in the game he seems like the most level headed one of the 3. Hades is the ‘i want to die’ ‘darkness is my only friend’ and zeus…is zeus. Poseidon is like the middle child that always has to clean after his brothers and make sure they don’t die.

@Fay The sleep one is use more commonly in mythology while the ‘rape’ myth is use more for theater plays.

  • Has never been to the sea.
  • Dislike swimming
  • Got failed in P.E class because I never learned how to swim (I took special classes so now I’ve actually learned how to swim and I got a decent grade in P.E)
  • Lmao still hate to swim tho
  • Feel unsafe in water
  • I’m a shorty, so my friends can actually stand up in the deep parts of a pool meanwhile I float like a balloon

MFW Poseidon is my dad. He is literally the sea. The sea that I hate to be in. Holy shit.

I feel you brother. My MC is feeding Zeus to Cronus the first chance he gets.

Zeus just couldn’t keep it in his pants, he has even taken desperate measures when it comes to seduction.

He turned himself into a bull and kidnapped a princess.
He turned himself into a swan and seduced a spartan queen.

I’d choose tuna dad over rapey dad any day.

You and I have the same interpretation. Poseidon has always come off as Zeus-lite yet not nearly as fascinating (“I hate this yet I can’t look away”), so…yeah.

but re: lovey-dovey crap in Aeson’ romance

I’d love for our MC to be able use “soulmate” this and “other half” that when talking about Aeson. I care not a whit for it in real-life relationships, but considering that they genuinely are those things, I’m certain that at least one (if not two) of my MCs would use that as ironically and as genuinely as possible depending on the situation.

What I’d really want is if there were something like a declaration of love scene where the phrases you use become less eloquent the less allure you have (because I love bathos).

Allure > 80
“You’re the only fate I’ve ever wanted”. (idk, my irl allure is prolly 3)

Allure > 30
“My soulmate.”

Allure < 30
“You’re the…Mario to my…Luigi?”
“It’s…it’s ok, I understand the sentiment.”

So how long will the poll be up for?

Viagra jokes aside, I think the pill is something that jump starts the source power.

Jumpstarts the Essence? In what way?

Crap, my slow-ass just realized what you meant.

Are you talking about like…quick-acting magical steroids or some straight up Avatar State?

Because temporarily increased stats sound cool and totally doable and actually seem like a genuine boon, but an Avatar-like state is…harder to imagine by myself.
