... It's worth noting that "competent instructions in how to raise offspring" in this case are hideously and insanely incorrect for Shards. You can't be successful in using k-selective childrearing with r-selective species: that's a guaranteed recipe for extinction.
The Norns don't have all that weaving and cutting to do. They just sit around a well cackling, IIRC.
Hmm, guess I need to brush up on my mythology lore. Could've sworn the Fates and Norns were almost carbon copies of each other for some reason.
Fair. Forgot about that. Probably just ethnocentrism. Also. Hades was the easiest to blame out of that group since he's the least likely to punch you in the dick over it.
His handling of Cerberus gave him more perceived motive?
Is this..something in the Danmachi canon that I'm not aware of?
Earlier in this fic, Hestia made a comparison between QA and Hades based on their pets. Basically, Hades insists Cerberus is a good dog. Everyone else knows him as an overly aggressive hellbeast who doesn't understand that the people (gods) he's gnawing on are immortal.
Yes and no. There isn't a direct translation for it that we know of, unfortunately, but there are several root words or phrases it could have come from. Some translations are much more befitting of the guardian of Tartarus, but the internet and popular culture kind of snagged on "Spotted One" and ran with it. Like Hagrid calling his cerberus "Fluffy."
Given the kind of awful bastards gods tend to be, especially Greek gods, Cerberus is the best dog for hurting them.
Cerberus just wanted to protect his master from the jerk known as Zeus, it's not his fault that other gods got in the way and got attacked too.
Knowing how Shards work, this could be very doable.
Dreamer might have the place all automated and under her control by then.Knowing how Shards work, this could be very doable.
"Acknowledged"
Oh boy, two high 90s, depending on what kind of encounter tables you're using that has potential to be A Thing.
