video | post murderworld thoughts
So um... I've been thinking about this for a while. Ever since we left Harrub, actually...
[ He grimaced a bit, pausing for a couple of seconds. Glancing off to the side, before taking a breath, and addressing the camera again. ]
But um, after the whole Murderworld thing... it's kind of become clear that some of us aren't... handling things that well... [ He was thinking about Videl specifically, but the anon meme has also made it clear Videl wasn't the only one. ] I know we all took the oath for various reasons, and we probably all expected different things out of becoming a superhero. But um, some of us probably didn't expect this... so...
... With the whole "Legionnaire Legacies" thing coming around the corner, I think we should... [ Another pause, as he tries to figure out how to phrase this. ] ... um... I guess, share our lives with each other? To make sure we're prepared, in case... in case the news digs up stuff about us, and tries to drag us through the mud with it.
[ This is so weird and strange and against everything Gohan knows. He's usually the most secretive person in the world, but... he's kind of had to cope with having an open identity, so might as well go all in. ]
I guess um, I should go first? My name's Gohan, and... if you have any personal questions for me, I'll be happy to answer them...

Hi Gohan. I don't think that's too bad of an idea. We've probably all have some things that would be better coming from the source. But...we don't really know each other so I'm not exactly sure where to start. I'm Jason though, Jason Grace.
[He looks thoughtful. It's not that he's secretive it's just that back home demigods and humans tend to be fairly separate in their interactions. He's not sure where to start, even though a few people have already heard about Jason's past.]
Aliens seem to be a pretty common theme around here. How do you think people would react to gods and demigods?
[That's the main thing he's worried about, he's seen some pretty bad reactions when people find that out. Then again, he's dealing with a completely different universe where such things might not sound so crazy.]

no ones got kids tho so the demigod thing is new
are you a demigod
whos your daddy
or mommy i guess no rule says the literal godparent cant be a goddess i guess
text - he switches because it seems easier
Yes, I'm a demigod. My father is Jupiter.
Although, if you don't know Roman mythology that might not mean anything. A lot of universes out there seem to have some of the same myths/stories/movies/etc...but then I've encountered a few people here who had no idea what I was talking about.
And unrelated, but yes Goddess can have kids too. My girlfriend is a Daughter of Aphrodite. Actually it might be more accurate to say there are two full camps of kids from various gods and goddess of the Greek/Roman pantheons.
i'm so sorry
coulda had a god named fuckin percy
granted literally none of my friends have cool names either so i cant really say shit
but can you imagine the religions that might have resulted
the chuch of john egbert
yes hello sir or madam have you welcomed percy into your life yet
amazing
its cool tho i know my greco roman mythology
shits hilarious
did your dad really fuck a swan
thank you i needed that laugh oh god help me
You'd have to take that up with him.
I wasn't really planning to get into my dad's sex life. It's...well that.
no subject
after growing up with that shit kidnapping twinks via eagle to be your boytoys sounds like standard embarassing parent material
like ugh daaaaaaad again with the prettyboy abduction youre ruining my life
not that jason would know what embarrassing parents are...but still
That's...disturbing.
It's not like I lived with him. I actually only met him once. So I was thankfully not around for any of that. Even so it's still pretty uncomfortable to talk about. What the gods do in their private time is really something I'd just rather leave up to them.
Either way...I'm pretty sure neither of those things qualifies as "standard embarrassing parent material"
belatedly realizes i mixed up the story of zeus and leda but w/e this is funnier
if youre dating a daughter of aphrodite doesnt that mean youre hooking up with your niece
it makes it WAY funnier...plus jason was too flustered to notice.
If you have a different godly parent then it isn't really seen as weird. Sort of related to your previous statement about Zeus' past. I guess it might seem weird from an outsider perspective, but the godly-side of things...they aren't really working on the same wavelength as mortals. Plus, it can be difficult for someone like me to have a "normal" life, this is honestly the first time I've really interacted with people not related to or involved with the gods in a long time.
no subject
im also godtier at this point
and i wouldnt really call any of these chucklefucks normal either
so that whole last statement seems kinda negated at this point yknow
no subject
[At least, that's what he thinks Dave is saying.]
What do you mean godtier though?
no subject
it means you managed to die the right way and basically became a god with all the benefits
partial immortality greater control over ones aspect sweet new duds etc
it almost makes the dying horribly thing ok
[Not really. He'll probably have nightmares about sitting around waiting for his imminent death and burning alive for the rest of his life. But whatever.]
i guess it makes sense with the lore or whatever for the game we were playing
you beat the final boss and win the game you get a shiny new universe
pretty much become gods of said new universe so i guess its appropriate that some of us get actual godlike powers
no subject
I'm not sure if godlike powers are exactly worth death.
And this all happened because of a game?
That's messed up.
no subject
yeah it sucks but it was inevitable
at least this way me and my friends got to be the ones that survived earth getting fucked
he's honestly at a loss right now, because how do you even address this ?
a lot of therapy mostly
i mean yeah it sucks but if the choice is dying and coming back or just straight up dying for good then yeah sure call me mr brightside for going with the former
no subject
Also, my dad kind of talks to the God of our part of the universe on a regular basis.
Also, the god of our entire plane of existence helped us fight an alien, and had me pull a sword out.
[ A pause. ]
... I-I'm uh, I'm used to Gods, is what I'm trying to say. Although we have different names for them...
no subject
That's good to know then. What do you mean by different names? Like their personal names or just a different term?
no subject
[ A pause. ]
... I think Kai might also be their race, now that I think about it. But I can't really confirm that, since I haven't really... asked.
no subject
[Basically, literally everything that just happened on the anon meme.]
no subject
[Not that either would really bother Jason, but he's not sure he'd enjoy being called a liar or something.]
