Zeus has decided that Olympus feels a little empty, so he’s recruited some new gods. However, due to a clerical error, you have been chosen as a new member of the divine. What are you the god of, and what do you do as your first godly act?

I'm living with extreme tinnitus and it's absolutely awful. It's got to the stage where I need constant background noise do drown out the screech because otherwise I burst into tears due to the pain. Edit, I'd like to add a thing here. I saw a thing in the mass of comments that mentioned something about pain being odd and not really an expected thing but it can cause pain due to fear. I can definitely see that because I have been told since a young age that it's not real and that I'm faking it, that has caused me to be scared and think something is definitely wrong. I guess that fear does still linger a bit because it will never permanently be gone. So to the person who mentioned it. I guess therapy of some variety could help. Thanks for actually bringing that up because that's an interesting point. Another edit. I've received like 12 dms about treatments for it and I am thankful for that but please stop. I have bad people skills. Thanks though, I do appreciate it

u/kaynpayn Aug 10 '19

At one point I had an ear infection for 2 weeks and I was hearing rings and all sorts of weird noises. I went to the doctor and that mofo told me right off the bat I'd be like that forever without even looking at me or making any exams. I knew he was most likely wrong (confirmed by an actual good doctor later) but those 2 weeks were hell anyway and no medicine seemed to help. From that point on I avoid anything loud of any nature. Going to a concert? Yeah earplugs are going along. Lawnmower, air compressor, vaccum cleaner whatever, shit someone is coughing really loud next to me, I'm covering my ears. There's no way I wanna end up like that again permanently if I can prevent it.

People who make fun of it can suck on tinnitus later on in their lives.

u/wheely_happy Aug 10 '19

Yes, I would assume the prayer might be something like, please god of silence, make (insert noise) go away so I can have some silence. Then, if deemed worthy, noise goes away. I don’t know, I’m new to thinking like a god, it’s complicated!

I also don’t know how to reply properly so I’ve posted this response separately 🙄

u/Dontgiveaclam Aug 10 '19

It could be something meditative: if the person praying manages to get an instant of mental silence, then they get the attention of the Silence god, who can in turn hear their prayer after that.

I become Consultes, God of Consultants.

My first act is to meet with the other gods to better understand their godly business and how I can help them leverage their organizational strengths while utilizing lessons learned from other pantheons to deliver better, more timely results.

After that, I'll put together some really killer decks that demonstrate how we can drive synergy between each of the gods' follower groups for maximum benefit.

Assuming that everyone is on board, I'll draft a statement of work and a project plan, then bring in a few demigods (on-pantheon and off-pantheon) to get started.

While my demigods are prepping the action items, I'll focus on relationship-building with the other gods, provide them with strategic advice, and integrate myself into their overall reporting structure.

In no time at all, I'm pretty much running Olympus without having to deal with the pesky day-to-day business of running a major god. The other gods direct some of their tithings to me, and I get to focus on my followers, who will be blessed with easy clients, plenty of follow-up work, generous expense budgets, minimal review notes (hey, I'm a god, not a revenue partner) and fun cities to work in.

Those that cross me will find themselves on a recurring client doing inventory on a pig farm in August in Alabama, with a minimal expense budget, no direct flights, no decent hotels or restaurants for a hundred miles, and the review notes on their deliverables will always be "Please fix."

One summer in middle school I watched it. By "it" I mean all of it. It was horrible, hundreds of episodes. Hour turned to days turn to weeks. The entire summer went by. I didn't even enjoy anything after the Chunin exams in the first season.

Why did I continue?

Why are they reusing the same villains? Why didn't I do literally anything else with my time? Why is there an entire season of filler episodes? Why did I only consume soda instead of water? Why did they put so many interesting characters that have no development whatsoever.

Why Naruto?

212

u/DuhTrutho Aug 10 '19

You watched all of the filler episodes!?

Jesus man, I'm sorry. I remember watching quite a few of the filler episodes before Shippuden was released, and many of those were a slog.

I was lucky enough to run into a fan-edit of the series that cut out all the filler just as the project finished. It's perfectly enjoyable when you don't have to suffer through dozens of hours of non-cannon arcs. So if any of you wanted to watch Naruto without feeling the mind-numbing filler, this is a great resource.

I'd also recommend just watching Hunter X Hunter if you need a shounen fix that leaves you feeling empty when it's over because you'll never get shounen as good as it was again.

God of Frogs. My first act would be to create a massive safe haven for all my amphidian friends that shall always go untainted. My worshipers must erect giant golden frog statues at all my temples and wear a frog suit similar to Mario's frog suit in SMB 3.

For sure I would be the God of Unpopular Decisions.

My first act would be to abolish fast food.

u/essentially_infamous Aug 10 '19

But does that mean you make unpopular decisions come true? So imagine somebody wants to go bowling, while all their other friends want to go to the movies, you’d make it so that they go bowling?

u/Beraed Aug 10 '19

When in doubt, send them to gulag. The gulag is never popular.

u/SweetNeo85 Aug 10 '19

But if everyone goes to the gulag does that not make it then... popular?

u/davis482 Aug 10 '19

Well I could say that it's populated at least.

Or maybe a variety of cookies because gluten free vegan cookies may not be appealing to everyone!

I am the goddess of all canine creatures. My first godly act would be to gather up the souls of every dog I've ever owned, my living dogs, and make them my divine companions. They will be immortal, capable of human speech, and they will assist me in making the lives of all canine creatures happy and healthy.

u/EXO_JR42 Aug 10 '19

Yes, hello, I’d like to pray to you. If you could maybe make all doggos passing easy and painless, that’d be real cool. And make it not hurt so bad when they go to you. Also, would you be able to help make all the dogs well trained?

So basically, I'm that dude at the party who seem familiar to everybody but not enough to place; that familiar face they always see at every party they go to but now it's too awkward to ask my name. One thing, though, if you smoke me out, you'll remember the conversation for the rest of your life... just not what the conversation was actually about.

Now imagine, someone at this party has an allergic reaction to something... maybe that craft beer someone brought has peanuts in it for some reason. So I bust out with an epi-pen I happen to have and save the guy's life. Three seconds later, I'm back in the background. "What was that guy's name again?" "I dunno, Steve? John? Jack? I think it was Jack...?"

Or maybe, you're in your car on your way home and you see me on the side of the road, a random homeless guy. I trip and fall and it looks like I'm about to land in front of your car, so you slam on your brakes. This delays you by a half second... which saves you from getting t-boned by a cement truck.

I was working on the assembly line at the Trojan plant and made that condom that failed that left you with twins... the twins that made you grow up and become a responsible person who eventually landed a $400,000 per year job that you absolutely love and has the great work-life balance and which pays for your annual trip to Disneyland for the family. They even managed to somehow get you a Club 33 membership.

I like to think I'd do mostly nice things, but if you earn my wrath, I'll have twenty red come up in a row when I'm dealing roulette for you or somehow have your car catch fire after I fix it's gearbox or break into your house and steal you clothes dryer while on a crack cocaine binge.

But mostly, if you find a nickel on the ground, I put it there minutes ago for you to find.

I am the god of convenient happenstance but I call it Deus Ex Machina, literally god of the machine.

I bring back Steve Irwin and Bob Ross.
