Ares: If you had to fight someone in a duel, what would be your weapon of choice?

Hephaestus: If you could learn a skill instantly, what would you choose?

Me: The ability to write good fiction without taking more than half a year for each book.

Re: Greek Pantheon Asks - A Question Game

Aphrodite: What do you find attractive in a partner?

Male: high cheekbones, muscular forearms, broad shoulders (or anything which suggests you work hard for a living), and a nice ass.
Female: Tits, hips, and lips.
Personality wise: intelligence, wry humour, cynicism, quick wit, and compassion to balance out my lack thereof.

Apollo: Favourite song?

The musical world is far too vast for a favourite song, but I'm generally fond of anything with a harmony and a melody. And harps are badass.

Ares: If you had to fight someone in a duel, what would be your weapon of choice?

Lance. I'd joust the shit out of them.

Artemis: Favourite animal?

I'm really fond of deer, and coyotes, and I get way too excited over the arctic least weasel. Pretty much any of the arctic animals EXCEPT the wolverine. Foxes are up there on the list. Domesticated animal would be the cat.

Athena: Do you have any special talents?

I can: make a stove out of a soda can, navigate by map and compass alone, I can spear throw and axe throw with decency, I'm a longbow archer, and I can now add mead-maker to the list. Oh, and I bend in half.

Demeter: Favourite food?

Curry.

Dionysus: Favourite drink?

In order: mead, wine, and ribena.

Hades: If you could meet a person from history, who would it be and why?

I can come up with a number of people throughout history, but if I could choose only one: Marilyn Monroe. Why? So that I could be given the opportunity to fall in love with her. Because that would be an honour and a blessing.

Hephaestus: If you could learn a skill instantly, what would you choose?

Blacksmithing.

Hera: Do you want to get married and/or have children?

Yes, and I'd rather adopt.

Hermes: Where in the world would you most like to visit?

I would really like to see the Sahara before I die, or Antarctica. So long as I see all five oceans, I think I could be content. (I've seen three so far). Where would I like to return to the most? Solid tie between Europe and India.

Hestia: Where do you most want to live?

In the woods, on a large property, in a tiny home, with an extensive garden, and a cat or two, with a goat and some chickens. Locale TBA. (but France would be nice)

Poseidon: If you were shipwrecked on a tropical island, what would you want to have with you?

Another person to kill spiders for me.

Zeus: If you ruled the world, what would you change?

I'd probably make the entire world D'Angeline.

Governments would kindly govern and protect it's people (for the pigs by the pigs, oh sorry, I mean for the people by the people), corporations would sell sustainable and lasting products and money would be easier to attain and maintain, harmful and unnecessary chemicals (in foods, farms, medicine) would be eradicated safely, more money would be given to scientific development (medicine, biology, ecology, etc- you know, the good stuff that helps humanity and our planet in a positive way) and paranormal research, real religious, gender, sexual orientation equality. To make a long list short- I would change A LOT and lend leadership over to those specialized in those areas who have a good track record with practical results and the community at large.
