  1. Myth time! I'm going to tell you all the story of Eros and Psyche because it's one of my favorites!

    Tw// Talks about m*rder, attempted M*rder

    Psyche was a beautiful mortal woman, who caught the eye of many men. They all fell in love with her and wanted to marry her, but Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, got jealous of Psyche. She cursed any man who fell in love with her to be turned bitter. This turned Psyche away from most of her suitors and resulted in her staying unmarried for a while.  Her parents were so distraught that she was so beautiful and unmarried that they went to an oracle. However, Psyche hadn't just caught the eyes of mortals, but the god of love, Eros, as well. Eros was so in love with Psyche that he went to Apollo and asked for him to make the oracle say that Psyche would marry a hideous man that she never saw the face of and that she met on a hill. Psyche's parents were distraught but decided to not try and go against the oracle's prophecy. Eros then went to thus hill and covered his face with a helmet. Psyche met Eros there, and soon they were engaged. Despite Eros pretending to be hideous, he truly cared for Psyche's feelings, which resulted in her loving him back. However, Psyche's sisters did not think the same about Eros. They were convinced that Eros was actually a hideous monster and was pretending to love Psyche so that way he could kill her. Psyche didn't want to believe them, but her sisters gave her a knife and told her to kill Eros that night. Psyche didn't want to do it, but she loved her sisters too and decided to trust them. She snuck into Eros's room that night with a candle and the dagger in her hand. However, she accidentally tripped, and some hot candle wax fell on Eros. He woke up, (without the helmet on) and Psyche saw that he wasn't a monster, and instead the god of love. He saw the dagger in her hand and was so distraught that he flew out the window. Aphrodite then put Eros under house arrest (Aphrodite is Eros's mom, so I guess she grounded him?). Psyche was so mad at herself that she went to Aphrodite and asked where Eros was. Aphrodite gave Psyche 3 impossible tasks, and said that when she completed them, that she could see Eros again. Psyche completed two of the tasks effortlessly, but the 3rd task was to take a box to Hades. Aphrodite gave Psyche explicit instructions to not open the box. However, Psyche's curiosity got the best of her, and she opened the box, unleashing a demon of sleep, which put Psyche into a long slumber in the underworld. Eros heard news of this and was so concerned that he said, "Screw house arrest." and went to the underworld immediately. He got Psyche and begged for Zeus to wake her up and save her. Zeus was so impressed by their love that he not only saved Psyche, but also made her immortal so she and Eros could be together forever.

  2. I was going to make this a YouTube video but i lost motivation. So instead, I'm going to educate people on the Greek gods (THIS IS FOR FUN, NOT FOR A RELIGIOUS INTENT. I FIND GREEK MYTHOLOGY INTERESTING AND WANT TO EDUCATE OTHERS AND DISPEL COMMON MYTHS ABOUT MOST OF THE GODS, TITANS, AND THEIR CHILDREN.) With that out of the way, let's get this started. 

    NOTICE: I will be talking about death and possibly disturbing subjects. I will censor anything that needs to be and put warnings to keep this as G as possible. This will mainly focus on talking about dead people and/or things, however.

    ****Please do not read this if you are upset by that*****

    I will post either a myth, a story, or info about a god or goddess every day. Hope you enjoy this!

     

    Now, with that out of the way, lets begin.

    I'm going to start off with talking about Hades' role. Most people think that he's the god of death because he's the ruler of the Underworld. This is actually not true. Hades is the god of the dead, as in dead people, but not of death itself. He does not control death and cannot decide when people die. Thanatos, a minor god, is the god of death, and decides when people die. Not Hades. Hades is actually the god of wealth, believe it or not.

    Let me know if you're interested in learning more about stuff! I can do a different god every day or every other day or every week if you want me to!

  3. Just now, Hover -Green- said:

    He jolted awake. Cedar looked at his arm, why was it glowing?... it felt like venom running through his veins. Maybe they were trying to kill him... no no, if they wanted him dead then he would have been stabbed or something.

    Meanwhile, Otto has snuck into Kamado's throne room. Secret door where are you. He climbed up the steps and checked behind the throne. There was a little light emitting from behind the wall. He saw a crack between the floor and the wall. There you are. Now, to find out what you did to Cedar. He pressed on the wall and the secret door swung forward. He snuck through the halls, to find multiple science labs. Kamado what are you planning...

    "It is... that means no more stress..or- not alot of stress for you atleast!" She glanced at the sketch beside Iris, slightly gesturing for him to look at it while she went back to her room.

    Iris looked over and saw a sketch lying beside him.  He looked over everyone's faces and flinched a little. There was Cedar, alive and smiling. There was Moeruhime, the backstabber, and there was Lockwood, the backstabbing, heartbreaking, supposed friend. He looked at Vivus and masked his anger at all 3 of them. He stood up and hung it on the fridge. "It's beautiful." he reassured.

    (No, no, no, you are gay)

    Cedar was fast asleep

    Otto awoke again after 5 minutes, because the room was glowing. It was filled with a bright gold light. What the- Otto stood up and had to refrain from gasping. Cedar was glowing. He had gone glowstick mode and was illuminating the room with a blinding gold light. What did they do to you, Cedar!?! Otto thought. Only one way to find out. He snuck out of the room quietly and made his way down the empty halls to Kamado's throne room.

    "oh, uh... no problem... goodnight..." 

    He couldn't sleep

    it still hurt

    not just his arm, everything that had happened, everything he agreed to..

    he could make this right... He WOULD make this right... right?

    He just kept thinking, all night, still not being able to sleep.

    Eventually, he was so tired, he just passed out on his bed. 

    Otto was snoring on the floor when he sat up. He looked over at Cedar sleeping peacefully. He blushed a little, but then stopped himself. No, you're straight, get it together man. You can't have a crush on your ally. It would never work. Besides, why would he like you... Otto's thoughts raced. Eventually, he passed out on the floor again.

    "How lovely. Speaking of family, make sure to have a speech ready for when Aunt Suzaku comes to harp about my imprisonment."

    Kamado waved his hand. "That old bat can say whatever she wishes. I'm not letting you out until you redeem yourself for everything you've done. And that is going to take a huge act of showing me your allegiance to my side and your family."

  8. 14 hours ago, Hover -Green- said:

    "The hallway? No, no, no, come in here." He said, stepping aside so Otto could walk into the room. 

    Otto walked inside and flopped down on the floor. He closed his eyes and let a wave of exhaustion pass over him. "Thanks, good night." he said quickly and closed his eyes.

  9. 3 hours ago, Hover -Green- said:

    Cedar peeked outside, noticing it was Otto, he opened the door. He felt a tiny bit less nervous, so he just left it open. "Hi again, Otto." He said in a tired but happy tone. 

    Otto did an awkward wave. “Uh… um, this is completely random, but uh would it be okay if I slept in the hallway outside? My roommate is being worse than usual and I can’t stand it.”

  10. 1 hour ago, Modiano said:

    "Oooh, that would be great!" Moeruhime rolled her eyes and fiddled with her handcuffs. "So, how's the family?"

    Kamado sighed. “Lockwood finally came to his senses. He seems… distant. Like something happened. But other than that it looks like he’s finally ready to fight for me instead of against me.”
