in every universe, percy will always love annabeth
we're all aware of the opinion that aphrodite should be played by multiple actresses and this would be a really great way to push against euro-centric beauty standards.
that being said, i think this would be a really fun cameo for alexandra daddario or kristen stokes (the musical annabeth)
well i definitely was not ready.
tomorrow the love tunnel episode comes out and i dont think im ready dude ๐ญ
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐? ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ the allure? Something that pleases the aesthetic senses. Some find it things, silk, jewels and other ornaments of grandeur.
But beauty within others isn't down to a feature, wavy dark hair, sharp noses or soul capturing eyes. No, beauty within people belongs to the intangible.
Beauty is birthed from love. The mother of two being the driving force of all manner of life. And it's child is is the eye of the beholder.
But Love also breeds Conflict. It is the sharp blade and once the victim bleeds, it's very hard to stop its flow.
Belladonna Dorรฉe was beauty personified. Even by age six she was applauded for her gentle disposition and soft features. Her Aunt June, saw this and decided to play. Her own little doll to snip, pluck, lace, chop and change as she pleased. And once she was, she wanted to share that with the rest of the nation.
At the time Bella saw no issue with it. After all, she was pretty and other people were just acknowledging it. A bunch of little girls lined up for display, fighting tooth and nail to destroy each other simply to prove that they were the standard. Looking back the red flags seemed to pile up from the start.
Contrary to popular belief there is a science to beauty. You had to balance the hair, the clothes, the grace and most importantly confidence. Never arrogance, confidence. There is a difference mind you.
A girl could never be arrogant. To imply such a thing would be treason. Arrogance is loud. Uncouth. Most of the time it's told and never shown.
But you still had to own the stage. It didn't matter if you were the strongest speaker or the most soul capturing singer. You had to dominate your space, you had to grasp their attention with a vice like grip and pray you never let go because it only took a moment for it to slip and you would become every other wayning star. Fallen and forgotten.
Belladonna chanted that like a mantra as she danced. Every stretch of the leg, every pointed toe, every turn that was commanded by the beat of the music again, and again and again was meant ooze a pool of talent at her feet like nectar.
And she smiled, preening under their praise. Including the non-verbal ones. The judges that were once investigating for any flaws in her system or cracks in her performance. They were now subdued, relaxed even. As they fixed the gazes in the young girl in awe.
They mirrored her docility like a snake charmer to a snake, forever hypnotised by her
And The funny part was...
She was only five.
But that didn't stop her because at the time her stage was her battlefield. Armed with nothing more than her blinding grin and doe-like eyes Belladonna was bound to give the performance of the ages.
She will laugh at the thought when she's older.
It didn't change the fact that she was the embodiment of their insecurities, their envy, the target of their fury that they had no choice to silence out of propriety. Belladonna Dorรฉe was the catalyst of their quickening pulse, she was the shaker of their bones. She could strike fear into the hearts of any that simply watched her for long enough because she was, in fact, inevitable.

Let me know if this should be continued
Aphrodite
Ok recently I've been thinking: Aphrodite is a goddess of love and war right? I like the idea of her taking the most attractive form depending on who she's talking to, but does that mean Aphrodite can become a man in front of a heterosexual woman? Is there a myth of genderfluid Aphrodite?! (Also her design in Hades game is just ๐ฅฐ)
Aphrodite is my favorite character in Lore Olympus.๏ฟผ
i just wanted the flag
percy jackson x aphrodite! reader ;; fluff, y/n, h/c, and e/c used, charm-speak, fem reader, show percy
ep 2 / chapter 8
part one
dedicated to my bsffff ;; @urfavnamilover (she also proof read it)
APHRODITE KIDS WERE known for being useless during capture the flag, in Percy's words "they just look at themselves in the creek and gossip". He wasn't wrong, most of them did, but its only because they love their mother and want to appreciate what she has given them.
but, then again not all of them are like that, some of them use the powers that Aphrodite has. y/n for example, they actually try to get the flag, it should be fairly simple for her, but the thing is... her charm-speak wears off after 10 minutes. its not strong at all.
y/n walked through the lush forest wearing her armor and sword, red of course, as she moved her feet forward, she looked at the new kid laying in the log as Clarisse snuck up on him, y/n shook her head shooing her away mouthing "I have an idea" .
Clarisse didn't trust her, because she was an Aphrodite kid whose only mastered skill is to sit there and look pretty, but she rolled her eyes and decided she had better things to do, so she walked away, leaving her to do her thing.
"Hey, you're the new kid, right?" he shot up and reached for his sword. "woah hey, I'm no harm, not really a thing I can do" he kept his guard up "how do i know that" he said, she shrugs "trust me.",,
Suddenly, he felt the need to believe her and drop his sword, so he did without a second thought. "That's more like it" she smirked at him. He sat down on the log again and she sat next to him.
"sooo... how's your first week?" she asked awkwardly "how was your first week?" he asked sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "okay then... anything i can do to make it better?" she looked at him, and he looked at her thinking. "you could get Annabeth to lay off", y/n laughs " Annabeth means well, she's trying to leave camp, and get a quest, honestly i wish i could too but i have no purpose out there". Percy looks at her weird "why not?" she smiles "I'm a year-round" he nods at her "y'know what'd make me feel better? if you'd go get the flag for us" she crosses her legs pouting at him. then he gets the feeling again, the need to do it, to go get her his flag.
as stupid as he felt he did it, he got up and walked towards where the flag was. "Now i just hope he can get back in under 10 minutes..." y/n mumbles.
When he gets to the flag, the guard looks at him funky, "what are you doing" and he snaps out of it. "i... don't know" he looks around "did you talk to y/n?" they ask, "who?" he raises an eyebrow, the kid rolls his eyes ``the really pretty girl who has h/c hair and e/c eyes, shes in cabin 10, the Aphrodite cabin, her necklace says it." he scoffs in a 'duh' tone.
even though Percy couldn't recall seeing her necklace, he could remember that she was very pretty, and did have h/c and e/c so he just nodded his head, and the guard sighed, "well stay away from her, her charm-speak isn't very strong and only last like 5 minutes"
"ITS 10 MINUTES!!!" They heard a booming voice from inside the forest. They all looked over to the sound to see the girl holding her hand over her mouth, as she started to run in a different direction.
"should i chase her?" Percy asked, the guard shrugs, "if you wanna, we don't really need you here" Percy nods and runs in the same direction.
She ran towards the lake and disappeared, as Percy was looking around, he saw Clarisse walking towards him, he looked the other way, but no luck he was trapped.
time skip, after the fight (เธ อ ยฐ อูอ อกยฐ)เธ
The blue team comes running towards the lake yelling and cheering, they got the flag. Percy gets on his feet, and looks over to them. Annabeth takes off the cap her mother gave her and stands next to him, "were you there the whole time?" Percy asks annoyed, Annabeth shrugs "..yes" Percy blinks at her, you were there the whole time and didn't help me?" he looks at her, his eyebrows furrowed, "yes" she says "why?", doesn't answer but she helps him up.
she stares at him for a sec, he couldn't read her expression but he knew that she was thinking of something. "Listen Percy..." she looks down then looks in his eyes again "i'm sorry" she whispers before pushing him back into the lake behind him. Percy knots his eyebrows together "what is wrong with you?" he yells standing up.
but he feels better, he feels more energized, like he could run around the whole world and not break a sweat. "Percy..." the scratch on his cheek suddenly stops hurting, as he pulls his hand up he feels that his cheek is smooth again, no scratch.
He looks at Annabeth with confusion, as he notices a light emitting from above him and the whole camp is dead silent. He looks up and sees a trident, Poseidon's symbol.
I drew my goddess Aphrodite (I hope I did her justice ๐ซก)
Edit: thanks everyone for all the support, You are very nice ๐โจ
As someone who's working with Aphrodite and worshipping Apollo and has been struggling lately a lot, I really needed to read this and be reminded of it
Your deities love you.
Havenโt tidied their altars in forever? They understand.
Donโt have the motivation to give them offerings? They get it.
You havenโt left bed for a long time? They still care about you.
Arenโt devoting time to them lately? They donโt mind
Forgot an offering? Thatโs alright. They forgive you.
Fucked something up? Theyโre not going to ditch you for your mistakes.
Decide to take a break from deity work? Totally cool, theyโll still be here for you.
Your deities understand your struggles. Even your mental health related issues. They get it, and they love you regardless. Just do your best for them, and theyโll appreciate it.ย
โThe sea is the element of love. The Greeks say so. Aphrodite emerged from the water.

Aphrodite on Tinder
Sorry for the lack of art these last few weeks! Iโve been working three jobs and preparing for the art show my art class does every year. This is one of the pieces in it, I had a photo of an ancient statue of a Goddess and then I modernised it with a bit of cheekiness. Thatโs white chalk-stuff on top of blackboard paint.
So here is a modern take on an Aphrodite statue. I actually am so proud of how much she looks like a statue!

Asexuals and Aromantics
Instead of saying you don't feel sexual/romantic attraction start saying you are immune to Aphrodite's powers
You're welcome ;)
I just started calling for Aphrodite ever since she stopped my heartache while I was having a mental breakdown. I've been praying to her and thanking her for little things. I made my first offering which is a gold bracelet with these cute hearts, flowers, some shiney pink stone as charms.
I think I pissed her off when I openly started talking bad about a guy that's really crappy to people (esp girls) in my class. I havent felt her i think shes ignoring me.
How do I apologize?
HOW DO I KNOW IF APHRODITE HAS FORGIVEN ME? ๐ญ
Okay, so I've prayed three times to her and even offered a golden leaf hair clip and a lil flower I saw while I was on my way home.
Omw home it almost rained but it didn't continue (thank you, Lady Aphrodite). Is that considered as a "I forgive you"? I think if she didn't I think would've been drenched in the rain ๐ค
