I--I just--SO MUCH LOVE. Anvils, made by Acme! Herc watches Star Trek! Alflyse's fangirl face! Eeeeeee!! And kid!Zeus is still holding the title of Only Version of Zeus That Has Ever Made Me Look Forward To (Or Indeed Not Shy From) His Page Time. It's the prepubescence. Cuts down on the rape factor, and while normal!Zeus is that obnoxious prick who everyone listens to because he can beat them all up, kid!Zeus has that much less annoying quality of still *thinking* everyone should listen to him, without realizing that they only did that because he could beat them all up, which he can no longer do.
It's really incredible to me how Herc can run around having sex with practically every woman he meets and not make me like him any less. Usually, those characters (Hercules/Herakles usually included) strike me as skeevy and misogynist (plus, bonus rape! and by bonus, I mean malus), but Herc is just neither. I think it's because all the women are obviously, enthusiastically down with the "let's see if we can break the bedsprings/headboard/floor/bedrock" plan. The fact that the writing and art are capable of showing smart, powerful, confident women who unabashedly like sex (even casual sex! gasp!) without having the text frown at them for it makes the whole thing funny (and hot) instead of squick.
...It says something about the state of my expectations and writing tropes that "Look! Sex where the woman is obviously having just as much fun as the man and not one bit ashamed of it!" is kind of mindblowing. *sigh*
