Back to the "Beyblade Burst God AU x Epic: The Musical" crossover!
Next up is "Wouldn't You Like", the second song from the Circe Saga!
I chose Suoh mostly because during the song, Hermes is giving Odysseus a flower that he can use to fight Circe. Suoh fits the role of “flower-giver” perfectly because he’s literally the God of Blossoms and Thorns.
Though during the song, Hermes also states that he wants to “send a message” to Circe. I can totally see Suoh using Odysseus’s desperation to save his men as an opportunity to send a message to Hyde about who’s the stronger deity. The message would be something like “Oh, you can create monsters? Well guess what - I can give people god-like powers through my flowers!”
I tried doing a vantage shot where Suoh is in the process of actually handing the flower to Odysseus, which is why it and his offered hand look as big as his head. I also tried to make him look sly and devious by having his exposed eye open, as his eyes are normally closed, but I’m pretty sure that I just made him look loopy.
I actually did look it up, and “holy moly” is a real flower. It’s a small yellow blossom with pink or red stripes. Though for some reason as I drew this, I had a slightly different image in my head…
(@eggiari , I know you asked me to draw Suoh a while back, so I hope you enjoy this!)
Here’s the song that the drawing is based off of, animated by the lovely Ximena Natzel! See you guys in the next one!
It’s sad to see your favorite content creators deviating from your favorite fandoms, but you just have to remember that they have their own developing interests too, and that they have every right to follow them.
The God AU may be finished, but the "Beyblade Burst God AU x Epic: The Musical" crossover certainly isn't!
Next up is "Puppeteer", the first song from the Circe Saga!
I chose Hyde because he kind of reminds me of Circe: cunning, tricky, powerful, and willing to do anything for his children. If Odysseus and his men were to land on the island of the God of Monsters, he'd see it as a quick and easy way to provide his monsters with the souls that they need to survive.
Also, another interesting tidbit about Hyde as a god: he can manipulate the bodies of men, shaping them to his liking, whether it be a monster or a simple animal. The catch is he can only do it to those who submit to his will. Some humans do so willingly; they’ll pray to him begging for the strength they need to destroy those who have wronged them, and practically jump into their new roles as monsters. Other times, Hyde can be sneaky about it. If he offers something and a human takes it, that technically means that they’ve submitted to his will. So when Odysseus’s men eat the food Hyde offers them, he’s free to do whatever he wants with them. So he turns them into pigs in order to make it easier for his monsters to consume their souls.
( @heartsyayayayay , come get your man - he’s turning people into pigs! And having his monsters eat them!)
Here’s the song that the doodle is based off of, once again animated by the wonderful @gigizetz !
Time for the man I have a feeling Ghasem would literally die for!
Here's Arthur! (Not Peregrine, Lawrence.)
Slight phobia warning...
Arthur is the God of Insects. As the patron of all that’s small (or large) and buzzes, he’s a very polite and charming god, contrary to popular belief. Though he has a tendency to poke his nose and prod into other people’s business, which admittedly makes him as annoying as one of his insects.
He created the entirety of the Insect Kingdom. Ants, fleas, spiders, dragonflies, butterflies, bees, locusts, wasps, you name it, it came from him. He makes them using whatever materials he has on hand and then breathing into (more like upon) them, making him one of the handful of gods that can create life from scratch. He takes great pride in creating something small and numerous that can endure against all odds; he calls it a noble feat.
He’s well aware that much of humanity despises his creations, though he simply believes that it’s because they don’t understand the nobility and power of his insects. That belief causes him to create more and more of them, which humanity sadly can’t take much more of.
Because he unfortunately shares the same name as the God of War, the two are often confused with each other. Indeed, his flies often dominate the ruins of a battlefield, feeding on the dead. It saddens Arthur Lawrence that the two are so often confused, but he can’t deny the morals of his creations: they simply want to survive.
He can’t stand cold temperatures, which means his insects are vulnerable to it as well. He finds solace in gods that represent warmer temperatures, like Ghasem, the God of the Desert.
One of his godly abilities is the power to disperse into a cloud of one species of his insect families and check in on current events in humanity. So if you see a large cloud of one insect type or another, don’t go for the bug spray just yet - you may accidentally anger the God of Insects.
What do you think of God Arthur Lawrence?
And that is it! That is the last of the God AU! Thank you guys for all of your support and helpful comments throughout the making of this series!
In case you haven’t heard, I recently made it to 100 followers on Wattpad (TRIPLE DIGITS - AHHHHHH), so I decided to celebrate the occasion with a DTIYS (do this in your style) based on my (now finished) Beyblade Burst God AU! If you’re interested, you can find the DTIYS post through my #god universe tags, along with references!
Time for the guy who basically labeled himself as Silas's #1 rival!
Here’s Ghasem!
Ghasem is the God of the Desert. As the patron of the dry and arid landscapes of the Earth, he can come off as an incredibly hotheaded (and hard-fisted) god. Deserts aren't for the faint of heart, so he recognizes and respects those who can hold their own against the harsh climate. Those who go to deserts expecting a quick and easy trip, though - he has nothing but contempt for them.
He is the creator and protector of the world’s many deserts, which means that nothing goes on within them without his knowledge. He ensures that nothing poses a risk to those who reside in his territory, like opposing temperatures; his volatile temper is another reason why Bashara, the God of Ice, has second thoughts about spreading his winter wonderland into desert territory.
This care for desert residents, though, extends to both the animals and the humans who voyage through his sandy hills, which shows his compassionate side. With the right intentions, the right prayers (and the right offerings), any traveling party will travel through the territory of the God of the Desert without incident. But if they do anything, ANYTHING, to offend him, he can ensure that all the forces of the desert will make their trip a very painful one.

And depending on where your phobias lie, you may be excited or dreading the next god.
Who’s also the last god! We’re almost at the end, everyone!
