Your gateway to endless inspiration
I like that there is just… A noticeable gap in the gods’ understanding of mortal children. Like, Zeus really accused a TWELVE-YEAR-OLD of stealing his master bolt and the only justification I have for him is “Well, Hermes stole Apollo’s cattle right after birth so that tracks”
But now I have a theory that the gods don’t really understand how mortal children work and that’s why they’re so blasé about sending them to do ridiculous nonsense?
Like…
Zeus: what do you mean ‘first word’? Why would they only speak one word?
Artemis: humans can only cry when they’re born
Zeus: nonsense. When you were born you didn’t cry. You delivered your brother and then came to me to ask for a birthday present.
Artemis: humans aren’t the same though. They can’t walk or talk for many months. When they do speak it is only in small, short words.
Zeus: ….that’s not true
Artemis: I’m afraid it is
Zeus, under his breath: what the fuck
