Gods bless this luck.

[Updated rules.]

[I still exist for Thana and Pasithea. Just lurking unless I have replies IF Tum blr actually notifies me about them.]

“Hmm.”

Thanatos couldn’t even guess how old he was today. Perhaps he might annoy Hypnos before the night was over with a happy birthday. For now, Death was content to have a spare moment to relax before he returned his focus to the many matters that plagued his thoughts nowadays.

[ ooc - A lot of things going on irl. So I won’t be active for most of my threads on any blog. But I will do small interactions, esp on Thana, to try to keep my inspiration.]

"My opinion of a goddess who is my lord's sworn enemy?" Thanatos inquired with an amused chuckle. "She is a formidable foe who earned her legend. It is a pity that she chose to defile herself by walking alongside humanity, even allowing herself to become too human in a sense."

"I think her desire has blinded her to the fact that she has betrayed her own godhood and fellow gods. Does she really think humans won't turn against her one day, when there are no other gods to battle? Or perhaps that is her intent...to eliminate us in order to be the sole goddess that rules over humans."

Not that Thanatos believed the latter. He doubted the goddess would turn against her precious mortals like that. Yet, it was fun to consider the idea when one was bored.

[Yes, I play SS awakening. Yes, I have this skin. Look at my son!]

"What makes you think I wouldn't? I am not known as a benevolent god, after all." Thanatos idly checked the stings of his lyre, careful not to disturb the butterfly that had taken perch upon the lyre's carved dragon head. His dear friend didn't deserve to be murdered by a mortal.

[Mind you, a lot of my blog's headcanons were inspired by the Hypermyth. One of the details (if I recall correctly) was that the final battle of the first war took place in Elysium.

Two and two together, Minthe's death occurred because she went against Thanatos' wishes for her to flee with the other nymphs and got hit by one of the Pegasus saint's attacks by accident. Thanatos only knows it was the saint's attack that killed her, but he doesn't know if the attack was a fluke stray or deflected by him (or Hypnos, or Hades) which changed the path of the attack.

Regardless, Minthe's death (as well as the Pegasus saint harming Hades) cemented Thanatos' rage against all Pegasus saints.]

"Thank you for the greeting." Thanatos acknowledged his niece's presence, pausing from reading a scroll he had been working on. "Another year to help me forget whatever my age should be, no?"

[Hello! I'm assuming you're talking about Minthe the nymph that I've mentioned in tags?

She didn't have a fc when I was more active on this blog, mainly bc her spirit became Thanatos' butterfly (another hc) after she was killed by the Pegasus saint in the first holy war.

This is the closest fc I could pick for Minthe the nymph that captures my mental image for her. Her eye color is def mint-green.]

[It’s still the 12th for me, but early happy birthday, my silver son.]

Death remained silent. For once, he carefully considered what to say.

“There is such a dream that would bring me peace but I will never ask for it.” Thanatos thought of Minthe, one of his dear nymphs who perished long ago. Sometimes he did dream of her, only to wake with an urge to destroy once he realized she was still lost to him. “No offense to you, brother, but reality is too cruel to return to after such dreams.”

“Few humans deserve the patience of gods. I’m afraid I will never understand why you give them so many chances they are undeserving of.”
