Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

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.
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.
 
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!!"

When I read 'little gremlin' I thought this was Orion and was very confused at the end of the line 😅
 
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.
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.

"Virgin goddess so horny it takes chad Orion to keep her in check lol kek"

Or something.

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?

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?
 
‍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).

The different Euryale.

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.

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.

Honestly the only version of Orion and Artemis story that I remember were they are not lover or at least on good term is the Percy Jackson version.
 
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)

The crazy thing is... No. It's just a gigantic coincidence.
This should be brunet, because Ritsuka is a male
Huh. I have...literally never seen that spelling used in prose before.

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.

With Orion they had a bond that wasn't sexual but was still super close and loving which probably still activated all of Apollo's buttons because Greek Gods are freaking psychotic.

Primarily got this interpretation because of OSP but honestly from how we see Artemis and Orion interact in LB5 it really feel more like a couple who just enjoy being in each other presence and genuinely care about each other instead of two people who were sexually (and romantically) attracted to each other with the only reason they didn't do the deed is because the universe wanted Orion to die a painful death.

The fact that Orion, the guy who's muscle and constant horn dog nature rivals freaking Fergus never acts like that towards Artemis makes me think they aren't like that.

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
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.

Official US government forms don't bother, so I don't see why it's worth it. English isn't a gendered language, so there's no reason to try and follow the rules about gendered loan words.

Welcome to linguistic drift and languages evolving. Sake with how a "they" has become singular and plural the last few years. Because it's gender neutral.
