Oh yeah, I guess they didn't tell Euryale that Drake killed Poseidon already.
She would drink to that.

You really thing someone like her wouldn't try to be as sneaky as possible?

I'm pretty sure in the Nasuverse, Orion is the one who is making sure Artemis is still a virgin. Being a virgin is a core aspect of her identity as a goddess, and Orion deeply loves her, which means making sure she doesn't go too far with him and remaining a virgin.I mean, Artemis is actually a virginal goddess and the mainstream variant of the myth has her firmly rejecting Orion's advances, but… this is Nasuverse. Horny on main, full speed ahead.
The little gremlin hopped up — where from, I wasn't even sure — and landed on her shoulder, his chest puffed out as though he would personally defend her. "Fou-kyuu fou fou!!"
Honestly I don't think she'll mind that much. She'll be surprised, but more in a sense of "Somebody managed to get one up on that stupid uncle of mine, wow!" as opposed to "What do you mean you killed Poseidon." Gods and goddesses never particularly took care of each other that well, plus this aspect of Artemis is pretty ditzy anyway.I wonder how Artemis would take that little tidbit. Sam's probably going to ask how she got the grail, and Drake will happily relay the adventure during the party.

I know she's still a virginal goddess in Nasuverse, it was a comment on how her personality clashes so heavily with the concept.
Emh... considering that canon and here to get summoned she had to basically squeeze her consciousness and shape in Orion's Saint Graph, who cannot say that the Horny personality is not a result of Mr Casanova Teddy Bear's Saint Graph influencing Artemis?
From the versions I remember, I've only seen Apollo killing him. Can you point me to any of the versions where Artemis killed him? Legitimately curious.That she's squeezing into Orion's personality, her supposed 'lover' whom she killed for unwanted advances in the most versions of the myth that connects him with her?
I remember a version of the myth where Orion's not actually dead, just stuck fighting the Scorpio constellation sent by Apollo, and can thus never reach Artemis.From the versions I remember, I've only seen Apollo killing him.

According to myth, Orion was the son of Poseidon the sea god and Euryale, daughter of King Minos of Crete. Poseidon gave Orion the power to walk on water. Homer in the Odyssey describes Orion as a giant hunter, armed with an unbreakable club of solid bronze. In the sky, the hunter's dogs (the constellations Canis Major and Canis Minor) follow at his heels, in pursuit of the hare (the constellation Lepus).
Stories of the death of Orion are numerous and conflicting. Astronomical mythographers such as Aratus, Eratosthenes, and Hyginus were agreed that a scorpion was involved. In one version, told by Eratosthenes and Hyginus, Orion boasted that he was the greatest of hunters. He declared to Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and Leto, her mother, that he could kill any beast on Earth. The Earth shuddered indignantly and from a crack in the ground emerged a scorpion which stung the presumptuous giant to death.
This should be brunet, because Ritsuka is a male
The different Euryale.
There's also a different tale connecting him with the Pleiades constellation, saying he was killed by a scorpion for chasing them.
So yeah, Orion being a horndog doesn't surprise me at all, he's kinda renowned lecher in myths. Not Zeus levels, but nobody does horny like Zeus.
… there's also a version where Orion and Artemis were in love, yeah, though instead of killing him himself, Apollo tricked Artemis into doing it.
Greek mythology is fucked up, more news at eleven.
This coming up sounds like a riot.
Attaboy."We'll save them," Ritsuka said firmly, and when I looked over at him, he was serious, resolute, and confident in a way that I didn't see on him too often. "Everyone, including your dad. We'll save all of them."
He looked like a Master.
The crazy thing is... No. It's just a gigantic coincidence.Wait a minute... did you add that bit about Taylor's father this recent chapter because you knew it was going to be Father's day when you released it? (Or close enough i guess, different timezone and all)
Huh. I have...literally never seen that spelling used in prose before.

Yep Brunette/Blonde is for females, Brunet/Blond is for males.
Personally I really liked the interpretation that since Artemis just wasn't sexually attracted to any guy (cause she was one of the few people who Aphrodite held no power over) and probably wasn't down to doing any deeds with her wandering band of murder ladies.… there's also a version where Orion and Artemis were in love, yeah, though instead of killing him himself, Apollo tricked Artemis into doing it.
Yup, I didn't know this for the longest time. Then while trying to "correct" a typo for a writer I was helping, they pointed me to this hidden little spelling rule. I was so embarrassed... It really is crazy how few people know about this.Yep Brunette/Blonde is for females, Brunet/Blond is for males.
This is because both originate in French, so most English writers get it wrong

They has been both singular and plural since the 14th century.Sake with how a "they" has become singular and plural the last few years
