Athena - Blog Posts
His father is away, and so is his mother, even if she rarely leaves the palace.
It rains a lot when he's young, and no one tells him why.

She needs to be objective. Impartial. Unwavering. She needs to be.
And so she tries. She tries hard and when she looks into his eyes, she locks her heart away. She knows that, if she leaves it on plain sight, she will stop and think of how brilliant his eyes seem underneath the fire torch light; she’s staring at two pieces of burning coal.
His voice, low and gruff, reaches her ears. "Athena..."
She almost winces. You are just too much, she thinks, ashamed.

His hand is bleeding. As he lazily wraps a piece of cloth over his golden stained knuckles, facing the wall that just met his wrath, he's trying to deny it all.
Their father gave her a thunderbolt.
Their father, who has always been on and on about how lethal a weapon his thunderbolt was, passed such a weapon on to his daughter.
Not his son. Never him. He doesn't deserve it.
As if his thoughts could be read, he hears a sharp crack of lightning in the distance. He looks out his window.
That's her. He chuckles. When Zeus throws his thunderbolts, it's a long, low rumble that shakes the earth. He wants everyone to feel his anger, that prick.
What he just heard however, was different.
In many ways, he thinks, she's like a crack of lightning. She is the thunderclap he hears in the distance when he's caught in a rainfall.

We love banished!Athena in this house
More banished Athena content! Which will be put under a banished!athena AU tag from now on :3
Reasons I'd get kicked out of Camp Half-Blood
1- telling Chiron to "stay gold, Ponyboy"
2- belting the chorus of "sweet home Alabama" every time I see a couple in the camp
3- making your mom jokes to Athena and Aphrodite kids
4- randomly spraying Percy with a squirt gun to check if he's really water resistant, even when he's not expecting to be in contact with water
5- approaching random campers and reminding them who their half-siblings are (ex: "yo, Nico, did you know you're related to Hitler?)
6- hiding a noise machine in the Hermes cabin and playing the star Wars scene "Luke, I am your father" every time he eneters/ making it play Hamilton at all hours of the night, so we can fall asleep to the sound of our father's voice
7- telling kids to "read between the lines", knowing full well they can't even read the lines themselves
8- convincing the younger, more gullible Demeter kids to grow weed
9- bribing the Hephaestus kids into making me a gun that shoots celestial bronze bullets, because there is no way in Hades that I am about to go after monsters just wielding some pointy sticks
10- sneaking into the Hera cabin to sleep, because what do you MEAN I, a claimed daughter of Hermes, don't get a bed in my own daddy's house? Yeah, no, I'm staying over at grandma's, the goddess of motherhood. Smite me.
THIS IS SO PRETTY WHAT
My life has one mission, create the greatest warrior
Odysseus and Athena.
Check this quiz out y'all. It's really good
Hi everyone, I made a personality test with all 40 EPIC songs!
Which song from EPIC: The Musical are you?
Reblogs and shares are appreciated! ^^ <3
Not gonna lie if I was born from my mother thoughts I would brag about it all day
Mythology: Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, and Persephone
You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.
i might start worshiping Greek deities
Currently I feel most connected to Ares Athena and Artemis
That little brat, like mother like son🤣🤣🤣
Inspired by a recent chat with @tanyakitty151
Little Ares: Wanna play?
Athena (reading a book): No.
Little Ares (peeking over her shoulder): What are you doing?
Athena (moving the book): Reading.
Little Ares: Wanna fight?
Athena: NO. I'm reading.
Little Ares (with a frowny face): You’re boring.
Athena (also frowning): I'm not boring. You're just a child.
Little Ares: Well, you're just old!
Athena (gasps, then pounces him)
Little Ares (deviously, to himself): Works every time.
Can we talk about how PERFECTLY Jorge cast his characters? And what a good job they did? Like yes they absolutely embody the characters they're voicing, and they made the characters theirs as much as they are Jorge's.
This post is inspired by me listening to God Games again and being absolutely amazed at the gods in particular.
ESPECIALLY Aphrodite's lines like please Janani K Jha did NOT have to be that good but she knocked it out of the park. I can't even tell you how often the line "you're a little high and mighty" gets stuck in my head.

Against all odds, even after what Zeus did to them, they somehow survive in that place, Metis and her daughter, within the mind of Zeus, where Athena would grow up, Metis training and protecting her child until the time finally came for her to escape, with or without her.
I like the headcanon of telemachus accidentally slipping in fatherless jokes cause he is so used to making them
my greek mythology phase is coming back courtesy of EPIC the musical so here are some of my (old&new) greek hero/god designs :)
Achilles- this one is OLDDDD i designed them mid way into the Illiad, before i got into EPIC
Athena- these were drawn when like I just got into EPIC. they're very unfinished and are kinda goofy
Zeus- i don't like him.
Hermes- hell yeah
Artemis and Apollo- very rough but yeah
Aeolus!! - i struggled w the winions...
I'm gonna redesign them properly digitally if i have the time ^^
Percy: Respected Athena
i am informing you that i plan to ask your daughter to marry me BUT since it's the 21st century, i am not asking for your permission as she is not your property nor would she be mine if she chooses to say yes. She is a strong independent woman and she don't need no man! That being said i truly hope she says yes BUT IT IS HER DECISION SO JUST BACK OFF!

There is so much to feel when Athena guide u.
🌿Ancient goddess🌿
Make me powerful
Make me brave
Make me feel myself
Goddess Athena
✨Athena, my strenght✨
✨She has my back, she inpires me✨
Athena marks my path
Headcanon that Percy and Annabeth’s children have regular visits with their godly grandparents and Poseidon is absolutely open about his love for them while Athena tries to hide the fact that she finds the kids adorable.
Reminder that Athena is also a goddess of weaving, and you can easily make a cardboard loom!
It's a pretty cool thing to offer her and an easy hobby to get into.
You can search on TikTok/YouTube/Pinterest for ideas on what to make.
