Limbus Company theory

Okay, I have absolutely no idea if anyone's noted this yet. Did anyone pick up that the Sinners are held down by a Sin, represented in their EGO, and their Canto are about their struggles against another sin entirely. The branch creates a space for 'penance'. When Rodya entered the field of effect of the branch, Baba Yaga went crazy, freezing the entire mine. There's clearly some paralleling at work here.

So let's go through.

Gregor, Canto 1: Sloth V Gluttony (survival); note that this expedition failed, and we later explore Sloth with Yi Sang

Rodion, Canto 2: Pride V Gloom; note that Rodya refused to actualize

Sinclair, Canto 3: Gluttony (Greed) V Lust

Yi Sang, Canto 4: Sloth V Gluttony (greed); Dante's resonance begins

Ishmael, Canto 5: Gloom V Envy; Dante's resonance progresses

When we look at the dominant sins of the remainder...

Heathcliff, Canto 6: Envy...

Don Quixote, Canto 7: Lust…

Hong Lu, Canto 8: Gloom…

Ryoshu, Canto 9: Wrath…

Meursault, Canto 10: Pride…

Outis, Canto 11: Pride…

Faust, Canto 12: Pride…

Dante, Canto ?: ????

Sins not confronted yet: Sloth, Pride, Wrath

Sinner sins left to explore: Envy, Wrath, Lust (If we're talking strictly what progressed Dante's clock, Gluttony & Pride)

Assuming Dante's doomsday clock setting is moving in 5 minute intervals, Dante currently has 2 positions left on their clock; 5 minutes to midnight and midnight itself. It's made almost explicit that their resonance with sinners is the tool with which they resonate with the branches. By obtaining each sin, they're building to some sort of complete whole.

Predictions based on this theory; Pride being so back-heavy probably means we're going to scramble for branches with Hermann. It gives the impression that for whatever reason Pride is necessary, which is interesting.

My own theory: Rodya says she'll settle in the cold [Gloom] for a little longer, and Sonya says she doesn't have the mark. I'd say this might mean Rodya hasn't sufficiently resonated. Sonya may have tried to bait her in hopes of getting better results in this regard.

This may mean ...

The last few Cantos will be a losing streak (LOL)

Someone who hasn't cleansed themselves of their opposing sin/formed the mark of cain will get the branch; I'd imagine this person shares sins with Dante, Vergilius, or Charon, who I believe are probably Envy, Wrath, and Lust respectively (OOP @ WHO WE'RE MISSING ⬆️)

In that respect Vergilius V Sloth, Charon V Pride, Dante V Wrath. I even think the wrath Dante is opposed to could be Vergilius

Very notable there's only 3 sins missing; it could be possible we already have Dante's branch; they were very obviously part of the group of Cain Marked, and again, their clock started at 25-to-midnight and just kind of sat there for a little while. It's also possible it didn't move until Yi Sang because their sin was Gluttony (ambiguous manifestation)? If Hermann also represents Lust ..... Think about it

Rodya's refusal of the call of Cain might become plot-relevant, just as our failure to observe what happened to Gregor on the myth arc timeline of 3 years ago and relationship with the Big Bad makes it obvious he's going to be a core character in the future. We can tell based on those who have the mark of Cain that he just doesn't have the chops, so mayhaps their mutual exclusion will be a surprise tool that will help us later.

And of course, my theories for the sins that weigh down our remaining Sinners: Heathcliff V Sloth, Don Quixote V Wrath, and Ryoshu V Pride. I predict all the Prides share Rodya's opposing force, which is Gloom; we see this in the books these characters are based on, with Meursault's despair of being sentenced to death being overcome by his Pride, Outis putting herself through grueling trials for the sake of returning to her family, and Faust beginning with suicidal depression leading to her pride creating(summoning) Mephistopheles.

I think it would be pretty funny if Dante was Gretchen's evil baby. Or that Gretchen might have been their previous self, manipulated into giving birth to Dante (extremely vulnerable and exploitable state), which they will be disgusted by and put to death. How many representations of the Divine Feminine in classic literature can Dante represent any% speedrun

What are your thoughts on LO Krokos and LO Ampelus (Psyche) ?

These two male mythological figures, who had a gay relationship with gods, turned into female characters ! If they weren't included (especially since Dionysus is still a baby here), I wouldn't mind. But just using those names like that TWICE is strange, right ?

It's also weird how LO turns two virgin goddesses into lesbians, but don't even implement the canon gay relationships.

Can you find an explanation?

I mean I can't really offer an explanation because obviously I have no way of really seeing into Rachel's head, but it's definitely a choice that she's taken so many gods and characters from Greek myth and turned them into something else entirely, it feels very random and, in the case of the gods who were canonically gay/queer/etc. ... it's hard to ignore and give benefit of the doubt.

Another example is Persephone's therapist, Chiron, who's not just gender bent, but also put into the role of being a therapist ?? Which is like, okay, fine, but like... what is this accomplishing besides vaguely referencing Chiron's affiliation with medicine LOL

(this wound up turning into a bit of an essay so I'm including a jump to make it easier for scrollers lol)

To me, it just feels like it really cements Rachel as not being as well-read in Greek myth as she claims to be, because so much of the actual Greek myth in this comic is either taken directly from first results on Google (see: Zeus' definition of xenia which is taken straight from a Princeton study guide from 2004) and slapped haphazardly into the comic where it's convenient, OR it's just vaguely referenced at even if it's not being properly utilized (like she saw 'Chiron, wise centaur' and went "yeah cool she can be the therapist character!"). I have zero explanation or even assumption as to why she'd turn Crocus, a male lover of Hermes, into Krokos the flower nymph, or why she'd choose to use Ampelus as the name Psyche adopts after being turned into a nymph (which also didn't happen in the original myth). These are "creative choices" that come across as less creative and more just random attempts to make her seem smart.

Like, to a surface level reader or someone who's new to the series, it might seem neat and subversive (it definitely did to me back when I started reading and fell in love with it), but then you actually get further in and peel back the layers and go, "wait, she's just grabbing Greek names that are affiliated with real Greek heroes and gods and characters at random-" and it gets especially ick when it commits queer erasure in the process.

Don't get me wrong, I think having fun with character designs and swapping them or changing them up is perfectly fine, that's the fun of re-interpreting old stories, it's not that on its own that's the issue. It's just that these re-interpreted characters have literally NOTHING to do with the characters that she's basing them on. At least in Punderworld where Charon is a woman, she's still a psychopomp who ferries souls to the Underworld, her being gender-bent doesn't change much because her character and role in the story is still largely the same. Or like in Hadestown how the Underworld is more of a coalmine with Hades running it as a business, instead of the River Styx being a literal river it's a brick wall that protects the Underworld from outsiders ("and they call it freedom"). In both of these examples, they're taking the source material and making it fun and new, while still respecting the source material they're taking it from and keeping it on theme with that source material.

By comparison, Rachel just creates these character references and that's where it ends, they're just references and they don't do anything new or interesting with them, they're not even adjacent to what they're referencing. So we wind up with Chiron being a therapist, Ampelus being the nymph version of Psyche, the Fates looking and acting the exact same as each other even though they had different roles to play between Past, Present, and Future, and Aphrodite's children who... are literally made up from scratch, instead of pulling from the actual real children that Aphrodite had loads of in the original myths.

So many of Rachel's writing choices feel like attempts to be "subversive" when they're not, they're just random. Nothing about the things she changes from the original source material does anything to further explore that source material, it's just yoinking things at random to try and seem more Greek while also further separating her work from legitimate Greek culture. Even when you THINK something is about to be retold in an interesting way, it's very promptly either swept under the rug or veered off in a whole other direction that makes zero sense for what it set up (ex. Echo, what the fuck happened to Echo-)

It's very "ideas first, structure never" writing, she comes up with standalone ideas that sound good in isolation, until she actually tries to execute them and connect them and you realize they have no through line or reason to exist the way they do. It's giving real hard "first draft" vibes, so much of what Rachel chose to do should have been left on the cutting room floor (meanwhile the things that supposedly did get left on the cutting room floor SHOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT IN THE COMIC, ex. Hera's coat prophecy, Hades and Persephone having a date in the Underworld where she decides she might want to go into law, etc.)

Ugh. This got longer than I intended it to. It's just frustrating. I have inspiration to write that essay about queer erasure in LO now, at least. So yeah, hold on tight for that one LMAO

Dante's Inferno References in Hozier's song "First Time" (+ a lil' song explanation) !!

Guys, I know I did the whole "Dante's Inferno references in 'Unreal Unearth'" already but I have thought of more things particularly with "First Time" and it's context of being in circle one, 'Limbo'.

Firstly, important context that 'Limbo' isn't so much a punishment as it is a placeholder in Inferno. It's for the unbaptized and virtuous pagans, essentially those who did not believe in God and therefore could not enter heaven, but also didn't do anything bad enough to be punished in the other eight circles. The punishment is to live eternally in circle one whilst feeling an infinite sensation of emptiness that is meant to represent the lack of God in their lives.

Now, moving onto the song and the GENIUS that it is.

"And the soul, if that's what you'd call it, uneasy ally of the body, felt as nameless as a river, undiscovered underground." The lost souls of Inferno find their way to their assigned circle by using the 'transportation system' of the five rivers of the Underworld. The first river that Dante and Virgil encounter is the river Acheron that Charon, the Greek psychopomp that transported souls through the underworld, delivers them down to arrive at Limbo.

Another one of the five rivers of the Underworld is the well-known river Styx that souls had to cross over in order to enter the afterlife. All of these things are referenced in this one lyric.

"And the first time that you kissed me I drank dry the river Lethe." Here, Hozier mentions another one of the five rivers. Those who drank from the Lethe would experience mental oblivion, unable to remember anything. Souls who were to be reincarnated usually drank from this river in order to forget their past lives. Hozier is also referencing the idea of being reborn, as he does throughout this whole song, but instead he's reborn by the relationship he has with his partner.

"As it was, and ever shall be, unearth without a name." This lyric seems to be a reference to the 'Glory Be' prayer - "As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end." As aforementioned, Limbo's punishment is a never-ending emptiness; It's described as sorrow without torment, something so deprived that rational minds couldn't comprehend it. Hozier's "unearth without a name" mirrors the prayer's "world without end", showing that Limbo has the same infinity that God intends the world to have, but Hozier cannot even put a name to the feeling of Limbo, only that it is underground.

"Some part of me must have died/Some part of me came alive the first time that you called me 'Baby'." This lyric repeats throughout the whole song with minor changes, and references back to that idea of being reborn that Hozier establishes from the very start of the album with "De selby (Part 1)". The album compares Hozier's relationship with his partner to the journey of 'Inferno', and here we see Hozier effectively 'dying' as the relationship begins, allowing him to enter Limbo reborn as who his lover made him.

"These days I think I owe my life to flowers that were left here by my mother. Ain't that like them, gifting life to you again?" Since we have the context that Hozier is now 'dead', this lyric can be seen as his mother leaving flowers on his grave, literally gifting his body life. In the following lyrics, Hozier compares his life in Limbo to the life of the flowers gifted to him.

"This life life lived mostly underground, unknowin' either sight nor sound, 'til reaching up for sunlight just to be ripped out by the stem." Flowers are birthed beneath the soil on Earth, as Hozier has been reborn beneath the world in Hell, both lives lived underground. The theme of darkness that is regularly visited in both 'Inferno' and the album is shown here "unknowin'...sight", where the darkness of Inferno simulates a sort of blindness. The second half of the lyric references that loss of hope in Limbo, mirroring it to the idea of a flower being torn away from its only purpose of growing - similarly to how a soul is torn from its only purpose of living.

"Sensing only now it's dyin', drying out then drowning blindly, bloomin' forth its every colours in the moments it has left." The literal meaning of this lyric is the act of pulling flowers from their roots to simply put them in vases of water. The metaphorical meaning is Hozier attempting to hold up hope in Limbo. "Unreal Unearth" is very clearly a breakup album, and "First Time" tells us the compressed story of the relationship from beginning to end. We can take this song as Hozier beginning to lose faith in his relationship but desperately holding on, the way flowers know they're dying in a vase but continue blooming nevertheless.

"To share the space with simple living things, infinitely suffering, but fighting off, like all creation, the absence of itself. Anyway." Again, this references the ideas of flowers dying in a vase whilst trying to live cut off from their roots. The idea of "infinitely suffering" gives us that imagery of Limbo, but "fighting off...the absence of itself" also emphasises Hozier's attempts to rekindle this relationship the way flowers ignore the prospect of death in the hopes of living for a few moments longer. This little "anyway" at the end gives us the impression that, like Limbo, this is hopeless, and, as the flowers will, Hozier's relationship will die.

"When I was young I used to guess, 'Are there limits to any emptiness'?" The whole third verse shows us the final breaking of the relationship, but this lyric shows us that specific hopelessness that is felt in the decay of love. It really wraps up the idea of Limbo in this relationship; this soft acceptance that their love has died no matter how hollow it makes Hozier feel.

I personally think he is once again a MASTERMIND. Relating the death of a relationship to the wilting of flowers, especially flowers forced to stay alive, is perfect, like are you kidding me. Anyway, yes! That's my extra fathoming of "First Time" because there is simply too much to say.

If anyone else has anything to say, please lmk because there's nothing more I love than a Hozier deep dive :]

[ghost-qwq]

Fallout HCs about video games cuz I'm absolutely batshit insane about these characters

(Fo3, NV and 4 but it's only characters I am crazy normal about)

Fo3 (Butch, Charon and RJ)

Butch

I'm being so honest with you, I think he'd LOVE rhythm games

He's a big music guy to me!!!

Rhythm games player,, he also would play the fuck out of multiplayer fps games

but Lone would have to make him stop because he gets really mad when he loses

He's fucking horrible at puzzle games also, he makes Lone solve puzzles for him but totally not because he needs help

He just uh... Thinks Lone is too dumb to figure it out... Yeah...

Charon

Okay I know I picked the characters but I'm so clueless for him

Maybe fps but idk

Actually this guy likes puzzle games

He watches Butch fail horribly and silently judges him

Puzzle games and like... Games with specific tasks you need to repeat

I'm thinking like Potion Craft and Sticky Business

bro would love cleaning games I think

PowerWash Sim and Viscera Cleanup Detail are his beloveds

RJ

This kid would play multiplayer fps games and absolutely kick ass too

He's the mean kid on mic telling you how shit you were...

He gets mad when he loses and quits

But not before saying that he's never playing that game again

... And then he's playing the same game the next day

He's such a little hater I think he'd say all kids games are for babies

He would LOVE to play them though :(

Would sooner kiss a Deathclaw than play a horror game though...

He'd act like he's not scared until he physically couldn't hide it anymore

FNV (Veronica, Arcade, Benny, Boone, Raul and Vulpes)

Veronica

Fps 100%

She's the one beating Butch all the time and she's having a blast doing it

Maybe also sorting games?

Ooh exploration games even

I barely traveled with Veronica but I feel like she would get really deep into the lore of whatever game she's playing

Unpacking fan I feel

I think she'd like ARGs too

She'd play slime rancher and throw tars into the sea as soon as she sees them

Arcade

He feels like a strategy game player

CIV player

Probably also likes cleaning/sorting games

I don't think he'd play video games very often... Sort of just a thing he does when there is NOTHING else to do

Probably would play Niche

Maybe Spore

I honestly have no clue with him beyond that

Benny

I'd like to start this by saying that he's comically bad at every game he plays

Other than gambling ones

He plays strategy games and loses every single time

He could not win a game to save his own life

Only games he's okay at are like... Ones it's hard to lose,,

And house flipper... He feels like a house flipper guy if he had to play

He also plays the Sims,, he loves that game so much

Boone

Really challenging myself here

I think he'd be good at fps but not really like them very much

Idk why but he feels like an rdr2 player to me a little

He also plays Plants Vs. Zombies because he's great

Idk he absolutely doesn't play games ever and when he does it's like,, card games

Boone is not the gamer of the group

Raul

Fuck oh God why did I put him on this list

Also a house flipper kind of guy but unlike Benny he's actually good at it

When he plays games it's to relax !!

He's playing fucking Stardew Valley and having a nice time

He plays Golf With Your Friends with the Courier...

Kinda feels like a Terraria player but he has actually no clue what he's doing,,

Plays Minecraft but only to build a house then turn the game off

If anyone tries to teach him a game he pulls the old man card

He will not play a game if he doesn't want too...

He's just "too old to figure it out"

Vulpes

Like Arcade he also plays CIV

But he's annoying about it somehow

Strategy and puzzle game player

No matter the game he acts like he's better than you for playing it somehow

Plays Terraria like Raul but he knows what he's doing and won't stop being a bitch about it

He acts like whoever he's playing with is stupid for not understanding whatever game they're playing

Fo4 (Nick, Deacon, Danse, Curie, Preston and MacCready again)

Nick

He's just like Raul tbh

When he plays a game it's to relax or with friends

He also plays Golf With Your Friends... Probably with Ellie and Sole

I think he'd like playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes...

Jackbox games too

He likes having fun with friends okay? :( let peepaw play a damn game

Probably would also like PowerWash Sim

Maybe even Slime Rancher

Deacon

I'm struggling more with what games he WOULDN'T play

He'd play multiplayer horror games with everyone and NOT do what he's supposed to

Not because he's uh... Scared or anything...

He's in the Railroad, obviously he likes Detroit: Become Human

Idk why but he feels like he would love OneShot

BattleBlock Theater kind of guy 100%

Like I said, I have no idea what he wouldn't play...

I think he'd play anything with his friends though

Kind of guy to find the absolute worst quality game to play and get it for everyone so they can all suffer together

Danse

Strategy games.

Or games with a very direct path

I think he'd be overwhelmed by open world games

Too much to do and not enough direction on where to go first

Survival games I think he'd like too

Hates horror games,, he would never admit it but he always gets jumpy

I honestly don't think he'd play anything other than strategy games without being pushed but shh.... If he were a gamer

Curie

Cleaning games or games that focus on science

HUGE Niche fan

She has no clue how to play a video game but she knows science!!

CIV player but she doesn't attack anyone unless they attack first... She just wants to make her cities and make everyone in them happy. That's literally it

Preston

I think he's in the same boat as Nick but he can't pull the old man card

He's just not a big fan of video games

But as long as he's playing with friends I think he'd have a good time

Probably would hate horror games too...

They're fun until it gets actually scary and then he doesn't want to play anymore

Honestly, I think he might like Don't Starve

Idk why... He'd play Wilson I think

Or Wendy

MacCready again

look he's older now

He still plays multiplayer fps games but he doesn't get as mad at them

He doesn't say as mean things anymore... And when he says it he says it to himself

I think Butch got him into rhythm games as a kid but he isn't good at them

100% would play video games with his kid.

He'd play like,, bugsnax when Duncan is older and lose his mind

I'm being so honest with you I think he's not good at any games that aren't fps...

EXCEPT. Stardew Valley. He would never in a million years admit it but he'd loved that fucking game.

[24hrfrog]

!! w/ the top gun au x pjo theyre all baby teens, i think its more fun to mirror how percy was in the first book (yes i literally grew up on this series i will put top gun au in the very beginning ✊🫡) also no the pjo characters (literally everyone minus the gods and Charon) dont exist in this au theyre basically replaced with these four

idk the actual ages of mav, ice, goose n slider so heres a guess thats prob v wrong of their age gaps irl (like to the actors actual ages) but canon in my little au lol

Slider:

+ 15, got to camp when he was a baby bc no one wanted him 🧌 he grew up there and survived, he stayed with the hermes kids until he was 10 when he was claimed :( zeus sucks.

+ has abandonment issues which is why he is stuck so close to ice as they have a strong connection, tries his best to always succeed due to fear of disappointment to zeus, tries to be mature but ends up crying and needing comfort (sad kid bro, too much stress, is being forced to grow up basically which is why mav is such a nice balance helping him be childish/immature whenever they argue— its all out of endearment)

Ice:

+ 14, met slider when he was 9– is the reason slider got claimed in the first place when slider ended up discovering he could blast people saving ice from monsters chasing him up the hill, campers steered clear of slider after that due to the “ohh hes the son of zeus” effect so ice had slider and slider had ice, ice was claimed just a few days into camp life

+ bosses people around but its bc he knows and plans things they dont and never reveals why he tells ppl to do what until after the fact which can be kinda annoying but u just gotta trust ice— even if he tells u to stab him or if he betrays u for a second (lol). he finds patterns in peoples personalities that helps him guess what their reaction to different scenarios will be so he doesn’t get surprised by a lot of things and can defuse a situation with just words in a snap

Mav:

+ 13, youngest lil baby, got to camp just a few weeks ago basically and got too many enemies when he helped his team win in capture the flag— immediately got claimed by ares after that especially when he fought dirty and took out slider mid game which pissed off the winner who had a streak going

+ naturally gifted, his adhd is a bit more intense than other demigods making reflexes and senses more heightened (a blessing and a curse) he prefers to sleep outside in a makeshift tent he has pitched up a little farther into the woods since he prefers nature more over other peoples company (minus goose) a lot of energy but a bit of a loner if no one he’s rlly close to is around— came from an foster family that adopted him that is apart of the demigod protection group, hasnt seen what campers like ice and slider have seen yet in the demigod world (friends dying, quests where no one comes back, parents being dead beats, etc)

Goose:

+ 15, older than slider already has a crush (carole, a girl back in the mortal world he sees every summer, shes 16 and they were paired up as a pianist and singer for a performance which started off their relationship), got to camp when he was 13 and prefers non fighting activities, got claimed when he and the campers had a sing along

+ never rlly talked to slider or ice until mav got to camp and wouldnt stop pestering the only zeus child if he could shoot lasers out of his eyes, goose and ice get along fine tho ice sees a loyal comrade with goose which he admires, occasionally has sleep overs with mav in his tent outside whenever mav wants the company or a tranquilizer to sleep, gets too many migraines from shenanigans to the point he always has a thermos with a soothing tea and a case of Tylenol

#weapon wise mav has a spear bc hes short and needs the arm reach lol goose is just back up so he has lots of meds and a swiss army knife #ice has two sword he technically only carries around one just in case slider looses his but ended up learning how to double weild for fun #slider has a sword but nowadays plays around with powers as well #top gun 1986

HOTD Inktober

Hey guys, I am planning to draw some halloween inspired art for our favorite HOTD characters. Keep in mind, I'm a busy college student so I might not finish all these by Halloween — I might not even complete the list at all — but I'll try to draw for as many days as I can and drag the challenge out into November to give me more time. This is my first time participating in Inktober and I'm soooo excited 😁

Here is what I have currently planned (subject to change):

All Hail the Pumpkin King: Aegon as Jack Skellington

Down the Rabbit Hole: Helaena as Alice in Wonderland

Hellfire: Aemond and his son as Frollo and Baby Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Stitches: Alicent as Sally the Ragdoll

Black is Such A Happy Color: Rhaenyra and Daemon as Morticia and Gomez Addams

Nyctophilia: Aemond as an Edgy!Biker

Nevermore: Jace and Baela as Nevermore Academy students

"Why So Serious?": Daemon as the Joker.

Psycho: Young Rhaenyra as Harley Quinn

Something Wicked This Way Comes: Hogwarts AU? Witchy vibes? We shall see.

Little Mermaid: Alicent as Dark!Ariel

Murder House: for some reason I want to see Aegon as Tate Langdon

Dead Men Tell No Tales: Aemond as a Dark!Pirate

Freak Show: I'm thinking something with Helaena and her twins...

The Overlook Hotel: Baela and Rhaena as the twins from The Shining

Hawkins, Indiana circa 1983: Stranger Things AU

"I, myself, am strange and unusual" : Aegon as Beetlejuice and Helaena as Lydia

Til Death Do Us Part: Helaena as Corpse Bride

The Count: Aemond as Dracula

"Nothing here is vegetarian": Daemon as Hannibal Lecter

Mystery Incorporated: Alicent as Daphne Blake

Ice Cold: Rhaenyra as Jadis from Narnia

Haunted Mansion AU

The Phantom of the Opera: Viserys and Alicent as the Phantom and Christine

“I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind?”: Aemond as Frankenstein's monster

Underworld: Aemond as Charon, the Ferryman of the Dead, or Daemon as Hades.

Barbenheimer: this is going to be a piece for the 3rd generation characters...

Dia de los Muertos: Alicent and Rhaenyra as sugar skulls

221B Baker St: Jace and Luke as Sherlock and John.

Voodoo: I want to see Aemond as Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog

The Headless Horseman: Criston as a headless horseman.

Some additional ideas that I might use as backups for inspiration:

— Zombie!Lucerys

— Helaena as Dark!Sleeping Beauty

— Alicent as Ophelia from Hamlet

— American Midwest Gothic AU of Alicent and her kids (they have the vibes, am I right or am I right?)

— Alicent and Aemond as Norma and Norman Bates

— Aemond as Michael Myers

— Tale As Old As Time: Aemond as The Beast

(Can you tell I love drawing Aemond and Alicent?)

I also want to draw Alys as Malificent, Esmeralda (Hunchback of Notre Dame), Jennifer (Jennifer's body), or Bellatrix Lestrange (and also a spooky drawing of her summoning Ghost!Aemond) but it's gonna be hard because we don't know how Gayle Rankin is gonna look in her Alys getup and how her vibes are going to be on screen. So I suppose I'll just have to postpone all my art ideas for her til next Halloween. This goes for Cregan Stark, Gwayne Hightower, and Alyssane Blackwood too. (Ugh, I have a spooky idea for Cregan that goes something along the lines of "there's something lurking under the ice".)

king charles 3 energy reading september/november 2023

we start with the oracle of Greek mythology:

we start with Eos (at the dawn of a new day) she brings light and puts an end to the darkness of the night but we are accompanied by Charon the transition, we walk towards our transformation. Interesting, we dug, the secret there is a baby that must be hidden, there is fire everywhere, but we choose the fight (this card is accompanied by psyche and icarus) several interpretations here: charles is aware of several things from these 2 sons including icarus = harry because he did not listen to his father and he fell from the sky. We have Poesidon = Charles here again because his brother Zeus reigns over Olympus = God is above Charles as king, he is preparing a great transformation with Persone to revive the BRF post Queen Elizabeth 2, on the other hand we have the energy to meghan here too who sees the transformation but who is excluded because she thinks after the fact like epimetheus. For her the energy of Demeter is in transition in an unfavorable way the lack of abundance, so much said that the BRF advances in the dark to protect like Hercules.

there was anxiety because of certain turbulences but well we communicate information then we rest and we work on a strategy to increase our abundance, we start to open up to our emotions again, we finally see the result of our transformation there is an abundance in sight or a way to show the world that things are changing. Pay attention to expenses, it may have reductions or show that these investments have been useful. We take action to show the world our personal contribution

tarot: a new start for a well-to-do family with an inheritance, we are talking about a friendly, family, romantic relationship, there is nostalgia for something or someone with the card of judgment it is the announcement of the past which returns (energy of the queen) but this event allows us to show our solidity to the world, it is also the end of the cycle which is not very beneficial emotionally. It is the passage from a king of batons to an emperor that happened with the end of a cycle, at the end of bad news towards a new status of king.

FF 16 spoilers

Spoilers right up til the ending lads and ladies

Are you kidding me. Are you. Kidding. Me

Ahem. Excuse me. I needed to get that out of my system.

Like. I‘m still reeling. I „only“ had the final fight to finish, thought yea, easy - and now this rollercoaster ride of feels right here. Ugh. Uff

I will get more into depth on the whole game in a seperate post later, but right now I need to jot down my first impression

From the start just - ugh. UGH. Gav openly crying into Clive‘s shoulder. Mid almost doing the same as they talk about Cid. Byron seeing his brother‘s sons off into a suicide mission

(Where was Otto though? Needed Otto, Goetz, Charon and Blackthorne here too! And Terence while we‘re at it. Aggressively promoting the NPCs here)

And Jill. Jill. I‘m almost glad she stayed behind and wasn‘t in danger but ouch. Now is so not a good moment for a love confession children (I know, I know, it might be the last chance, but that makes it so much more difficult). Why must you hurt me so, you two.

I will get back to that though

Then the journey and the final fight. Can I say I‘m almost disappointed there was no big aerial battle as Bahamuth against the many thralls? That would have been cool. But alas

I WOULD have liked for the battle of the three Eikons against Ultima to be. A real battle? Like the the Cinematic clashes are rather slow compared to other QTEs, I didnt feel a lot of excitement in this part of the battle compared to the rest of it

Changed with the next cutscene though. I mean, I had already suspected there is more of Ultima‘s people - one for every Eikon - but I had thought the Mothercrystals are there to power them up, and destroying them would stop that. I was just as shocked as Clive to here we basically helped them with it.

And then. Then. Here‘s the yelling part, the are you kidding me -

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE LOSE JOSHUA?!

We JUST got him back! After 18 years! We had all these sidequests to gather him medicine! He is literally the Phoenix - Undying! Nope. Nu-uh. Square I am not accepting that. Did not happen in my book

But also thos is quite possible one of the visually most beautiful scenes, what with the Phoenix wings and reflecting in Joshua‘s eyes. And the voice actors, especially Clive‘s, really knocked it out of the park. The gasps and sniffles and the pain? Holy shit. I cried mostly because of the voices

The unholy rage I felt man - I felt very much in Clive‘s position there. Very immersive. Just absolutely get WRECKED Ultima, you made the wrong brother angry

The battle was so, so awesome. I‘m sorry but this might just about be cooler than the one in Rebirth, hands down.

The music - that was a remix of Find the Flame, yes? It sounded different but alike.

Then that it was one on one, and Ultima almost humanlike - fit really well in showing how he is no different from us, from Clive. And the way Ultima got more and more desperate and lost all cool, INCREDIBLY satisfying

the part where Ultima and Clive kept meeting Eikon with the same Eikon - combined with the Voice overs from Clive‘s friends - so good, I cheered.

The Eikon fight part was also very cool. Hate to say it, but blue-fire Ifrit also looks damn cool. Can we get blue and red fire please XD

Just. The entire fight was wellrounded and fun, really had my blood pumping, I loved it.

And then. Then, the end. The flashback to baby Clive and baby Joshua. Come on. Dont turn the knife in the wound you sadists!

Well. Obviously. They are all okay. It‘s clear as day. Clive healed Joshua, so he‘s gonna be okay. Dion only fell into the sea, and OBVIOUSLY the Enterprise had followed them and picked him up. And Clive already got to the beach all alone, now we just need to go get him. Yup. Mhm

(But Sevi the game made it clear - shhhh. Shush. No. Not in this house. In this house, we live in dellusion)

Prompts for the Death Wolf.

Third post on Death the Wolf, which is odd since usually don’t do headcanon stuff these dasys...but I thought I’d share some thought experiments.

It goes without saying that personifications of Death, be it a God or an Angel exist in all cultures. It’s almost as constant as creator deities in fact. 

And considering that Shrek is a world that has all these nods to fairy tales, folklores and mythology - usually jokingly - I just tlike the idea of the Death Wolf having these stories to his name, within the Shrek universe.

So I thought I’d write down some of these stories, and how they could apply to Lobo de la Muerte. As well as some honorable mentions.

----

1. Godfather Death  - One of the most notable fairy tales that feature the Grim Reaper. Of course it’s on the list.

The story goes there was a poor family with twelve children, whom the father has to work hard to provide for, which loops them into poverty. Each child has a suitable godparent to provide for them, but one the thirteenth is born, the father seeks to find another godparent.  

On his journey, he happens upon God and Satan, both of whom offer to be the child's godfather. The man rejects both offers; God for allowing his poverty, and Satan because...y’know Satan. 

But then he comes across Death himself, who makes the same offer. The father accepts Death's offer, as unlike the other two, Death treats everyone all the same.

When the baby comes of age, Death approaches his godchild showing him a magic herb that can cure all ailments. The catch is, if Death is standing at the foot of a sick bed, the patient can be cured; if Death is standing at the head of the bed, their time has come. The godchild uses this to become a famous and successful doctor.  

When he's called upon to cure the king, the godchild sees Death at the head of the bed. Wanting the glory of saving the king, the godchild has the bed spun around to administer the cure. Death is pissed of course, but lets his godchild off this one time. Business goes as usual, but when the godchild is hired to cure a princess with the offer of riches and her hand in marriage.  

Against Death's wishes, the princess is cured. So Death takes his godchild to a cave full of candles, each one representing the time the living has left; the godchild's life is almost up. The details vary, but the short of it is Death kills his godchild.

If this story occurred in the Shrek universe, I can't see much in subverting it. 

The most subversive take I've seen was an anime adaptation. In it, the godson willingly dies in the princesses place, as curing the princess (who was a child in that version) means she gets the years he would have lived if he let her die.

One thing I can see is the poor father being a resident of Far Far Away, literally Hollywood infested with nobles and royals of different stories. The reason why he'd have so many powerful godparents for his other children is that these godparents would these different princes and princesses. 

I can also see the godchild being a dying King Harold's doctor, and Death just side-eying the doctor while Harold is being looked over.

2. Thanatos - Considering that Poesiden's trident and Midas' golden hand are in The Last Wish, it's a safe bet Greek mythology is broadly canon to the Shrek universe. With this in mind, here's a rundown of Thanatos.

Unlike the Olympians, Thanatos (Death) is a primordial deity. Despite literally being Death personified, Thanatos is often overlooked for Hades or Charon. Thanatos is regarded as a hated figure by mortals, and is just as hateful towards them.

There are two notable stories involving him; the punishment of Sisyphus, in which the former bound Thanatos to escape death. Thanatos would be freed by Ares and the gods collaborated with Sisyphus's eternal punishment - rolling a boulder up a mountain which would always roll back down for all time. 

OSP tells the story better than I can.

Then there's Thanatos' fight with Hercules, which I can absolutely see in the Shrek universe! 

The story goes that Admetus, the seemingly beloved king of Thessaly, was set to die young. He's told by the fates that he can be spared if someone willingly dies in his place when the time comes; this loophole exists because Admetus previously showed Apollo hospitality. 

However, no one was willing to die for Admetus, not even his own parents. No one, except his beloved wife Alcestis. Reluctantly, Admetus accepts her offer...

It so happens that Admetus has befriended Hercules, who ended up staying at Admetus' home as a guest during his twelve labors. During his stay, Hercules learned of Admetus and Acestis plight and offers to help. Hercules would stay at Acestis bedside as her time draws near.  

When Thanatos (Death) comes to take Acestis, he demands that Hercules step aside. Hercules refuses, challenging Thanatos to fight for Acestis to life. Seeing this as an easy fight, Thanatos accepts.

And sure enough, it was an easy fight...Thanatos got his ass beat, until he forced to flee! And so, Acestis and Admetus got to live a long and happy life together.  

I like to think that if this story happened in the Shrek universe, it's just a black mark that hangs over Death that he rather not think about.  Sure you could say this Death would show respect for Hercules fighting for Acestis life, the same way he did Puss...

But the idea of Hercules actually knocking Death's lights out is too funny for me to pass up.

“But doesn't Hercules eventually die in the myths ? Doesn't that mean Thanatos/Death got the last laugh ?”

You'd think so, but when Hercules “dies” in the myths, he walks into his own funeral pyre rather than let a poison kill him. This burns his mortal body away, as he ascends into godhood. Hercules died on his own terms, and became a god as a result. 

Death doesn't get squat from Hercules.

Also in the myths, Thanatos is the son of Nyx, the primordial goddess of night; in some versions, Erebus (Darkness) is his father. He's also the twin brother of Hypnos (Sleep). Also for you Dreamworks buffs, in some versions Thanatos/Death is the brother of Eris.

So if you're up for personifying Death's family, here's your tools. 

But also, I'm just picturing Death/Thanatos looking up at the night sky, just all battered and humbled after his fight with Hercules, and being all “Mama, mira lo que le hicieron a tu bebé chico!”

3. Now here's one for you monster fuckers...Ereshkigal and Nergal. 

Later Edit/Authors note: Okay, upon looking into it further, if Death was anyone from Mesopotamian Mythology, it would be probably Namtar (Fate); a minor deity/demon in the pantheon, who serves Ereshkigal - and in one text is her son. While Nergal is a god of destruction and Esreskihal is ruler of the underworld, Namtar fits the bill of “Grim Reaper” a lot closer.

But they’re still death deities, and so apply.

I'd be remiss if I didn't include this one. While the Shrek universe doesn't have any nods to Mesopotamian mythology that I'm aware of. But Mesopotamian Mythology is pretty much the Big Brother to Greek Mythology.

And since we’re talking about Nergal...

In Mesopotamian myths the gods of death consist of Ereshkigal and Nergal. Between the two, Ereshkigal is the Queen of the Underworld and the dead and is among the most revered gods in the pantheon; to the point the other gods feared her as much as they respected her. Edit: Namtar was Ereskigal’s servant/proxy.

But she has ruled this world from an early age, and had a pretty lonely existence. She’s so lucky! She’s a star! But she cry, cry, cries with her lonely heart, thinking “If there’s nothing missing in my life, then why do these tears come at night ?”

While Nergal is the god of destruction, and is thought of as a more young and brash deity, hiding his real feelings with a temper befitting such a being. Their love story begins, where all great ones do; with Nergal disrespecting Ereshkigal and one of her servants.

In the story, the gods have a banquet that Ereshkigal couldn't attend. In her place, she sends her viser - (edit:again Namtar) who is to be treated with the same respect that Ereshkigal herself would have been treated. However, Nergal was disrespectful. Upon hearing this, Ereshkigal demanded in Nergal be sent to the underworld for punishment.

Nergal is told to survive the encounter, he must not accept the underworld's hospitality, that way he'll be able to leave. He must not eat or drink whatever is offered to him; he must not sit in a chair, or wash his feet...and he must not intimately engage with Ereshkigal herself.

Ultimately, Nergal followed every instruction...

Except the last. For six days.

In that time, the two fell in love, opened each other up, and healed each other from their past pain and loneliness When his “atonement” is complete, Nergal leaves to resume his duties outside the underworld. And Dommy Mommy Ereshkigal is none too pleased. 

Unwilling to return to her previous loneliness, and wishes for her lover to return. Ereshkigal sends her Namtar to seek Nergal out, under the threat of a zombie apocalypse. However, Nergal is an emotional coward, unwilling to face his own feelings, and needs some talking into.

Long story short, Negal faced his feelings, married Ereshkigal, and healed the underworld as co-rulers - all be it, Nergal would wander the earth every six months to fulfill his duties, similar to Persephone. 

If we are applying this story to the Shrek universe, and applying Nergal (edit: or more accurately Namtar) to The Wolf mainly because Ereshkigal literally can't leave her kingdom. I think such a love story would be paralleled to Shrek and Fiona. In this version at least, Nergal was a loner who hides his emotions with his temper. Meanwhile Ereshkigal, despite her being one of the most revered goddesses of her pantheon, had a pretty lonely existence herself.

Another Namtar Edit: Though if we’re applying Namtar as being Death, it would be more accurate to say he’d be the wingman if anything…meaning Death would be the Donkey of Nergal and Ereskigal’s story, which is hilarious!

…Namtar was also a figure in Inanna’s Descent Into The Underworld. It’s not spectacular, it’s just he inflicts sixty diseases on Inanna on her sisters behalf, and goes to collect Inanna’s husband when she offers him to die in her place.

And now for other/honorable mentions.

4. I saw a few posts jokingly place the Death Wolf as the Angel of Death from Prince of Egypt. I thought I'd give my two cents.

While I'm not opposed to the idea (or at least the Exodus story occurring within the Shrek universe) I felt it would be virtually impossible for me to not step on any toes applying the Death Wolf to the Angel(s) of Death that appear in Abrahamic faiths.

Especially if we're implying the Wolf is broadly the personification of Death across different cultures, myths and folklore; like Thanatos. And especially Nergal!

(I say this in the same post that uses “Godfather Death”, where the Abrahamic God and the Christian Devil casually show up).

5. La Meurte/Santa Meurte

This is more of a side note, but I saw a few posts saying that Death could/should have even been portrayed as a woman to straight up adapt her, as a cultural nod. Honestly, this is something I'd like to see, but not something that is needed. 

With that said, I have been on a deep dive to learn more about La Meurte, and to my understanding, she’s more of a figure head as opposed to any specific stories surrounding her. Anyone who knows better can correct me if I’m wrong; my knowledge on Mexican folklore is limited. 

The only story I could find of her is a variation of the Godfather Death story. I bring this up, because I can totally see this story applying to the Book of Life version of the character.

Look at her! She'd be kicking down a nursery's door begging to be made godmother!

Anyways, the more I learned about about her, I’m not sure if her adapting her as the Reaper going after Puss works, beyond maybe aesthetics. From what I did learn is she’s a pretty chill Death. She’s a healer, she’s a protector, and she says Gay and Trans rights! 

Really, the only times I see her as vengeful is if someone breaks a promise to her. And if we’re going for faithful depictions, I just don’t see her as going after Puss, at least for the same reasons as the Wolf did. The Death Wolf feels more like he’s based on European takes on the Grim Reaper, contrasting La Muerte’s Mesoamerican origins.

I invite anyone who knows better to correct me; once again, I’m not as well versed with Mesoamerican folklore.

6. The Little Match Girl - Again I wrote my own post, because there’s others suggesting a version of her story featuring Lobo.

One idea I had has Death deciding the bend the rules to help a poor abused child survive in Far Far Away survive Christmas (The Reaper is sometimes thought of as an angel after all). You know, kind of like Discworld.

And if Death wanted to balance his books, he’d set up the girl’s abusive father to be murdered in her place. You know, like in Robot Chicken.

6:02am Who Took My Hat?

Lunar: Role call, we have a dangerous thing going around, I need everyone to do a head count.

Moon: Here.

Kill Code: Also here, obviously.

Supermassive: Here! Bolide is sleeping in the kitchen again, I'm waking him up.

Kill Code: Again in the kitchen? Doesn't he remember he has an entire bedroom?

Supermassive: Look, I tried to explain that to him. All I got was 'I know what I'm doing, Massy, I'll be sleeping soon enough.' Then he ate an entire four course meal of ice cream and went to sleep in the kitchen.

Heliosphere: Here too.

Blood Moon: Why wake me uuuuuuuuup?

Harvest Moon: (Automated Message) Busy with Bonnie, text you back later.

Kill Code: I could have lived my live without knowing you set up automated messages for when you're fooling around with Bonnie.

Lunar: Come on, they're married, it's fine.

Kill Code: Lunar, I know he's an adult AI, but I really don't want to know my child is doing unsavory things with Bonnie.

Blood Moon: More like Bonnie's doing unsavory things to him? Have you even seen the hickies he comes home with?

Kill Code: I haven't and I wish to strangle a rabbit now.

Blood Moon: You think I don't? That's my baby twin! I don't because he'd be sad then.

Lunar: Anyway, Sun and Eclipse? Gonna respond to the head count?

Sun: Oh, I'm fine, sorry. Tired. Couldn't get to sleep til almost 3 last night.

Moon: Go back to sleep or I'm knocking you out into sleep mode.

Sun: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Moon: And he's asleep now.

Lunar: Eclipse?

Supermassive: He never came home last night after his date with Matthew.

Kill Code: He could be sleeping, he's awful with his sleep schedule lately.

Moon: Still doesn't make sense that he wouldn't respond if he's got notifications on again and we've been texting back and forth for almost a half hour now. Our texting even woke Sun up and Sun would barely wake up for a war.

Eclipse: I'm fine, I'm getting food on my way home. Thank you for being concerned.

Kill Code: You're fine? Did you spend the night with Matthew?

Eclipse: Yes, I'm fine. I stayed at Matthew's last night.

Kill Code: I regrettably ask, where did you even go that you ended up spending the night at his place?

Eclipse: We went to dinner and a museum. The museum closed at midnight and, by then, we were distracted and Matthew liked my dress so...

Kill Code: I don't want the details! I get it!

Eclipse: Okay.

Lunar: So, ignoring Harvest and Eclipse's late-night boyfriend escapades, everyone is accounted for, thank youuuu.

Kill Code: What was even the dangerous thing?

Lunar: Oh, Puppet's ex-boyfriend, BB, thinks I'm dating Puppet and is jealous that I 'stole Puppet from him'. Said he'd hurt someone I love and all that and I already checked on Monty and Puppet so you were my next turn. I think he was bluffing.

Moon: Probably bluffing but I'll put safeties on us to make sure we're all okay for today.

Eclipse: Ya know, eating breakfast in an evening dress makes people stare at you.

Blood Moon: Yep, that'll do it.

Eclipse: Like they haven't seen someone walk home in a fancy dress before.

Supermassive: How fancy? I didn't get to see you before you left.

Eclipse: newdress.jpg

Supermassive: Yeah, okay, that's reasonable to stare at. It looks like you're going somewhere important.

Eclipse: Listen, we were going to a new exhibit and both the restaurant and exhibit opening were black tie events and I didn't think I'd ever spend the night at Matthew's so he doesn't have any clothes I could go home in.

Blood Moon: It is an evening gown, Eclipse, it is kinda stare-worthy when you're not at the event it's for.

Eclipse: I'll be hiding in my room ignoring everything.

Kill Code: It's still a very pretty dress, Eclipse, if that's any consolation.

Eclipse: I'm burning this dress.

Kill Code: Because people stared at you?

Eclipse: No, I hate this dress.

Kill Code: Okay then.

Moon: I'll help you burn it!

Eclipse: Already burning it.

Moon: aww

Kill Code: Reign in the pyromania urges, Moon.

Moon: Take all the fun out of it.

10:31am Who Took My Hat?

Blood Moon: Eclipse, are you okay?

Eclipse: I'm fine, just tired still.

Blood Moon: Can I come in?

Eclipse: No, I want to be alone.

Blood Moon: Okay, well, tell us if you want one of us to come cuddle. I know it's hard to sleep without someone else.

Eclipse: I will if I need someone, thank you.

10:41am Private Chat

Eclipse: I need you.

Sirius: Now? I still haven't fixed Charon's travel machine again, it broke after last time travelling and now I have to fix it again.

Eclipse: Just talk to me then. Please.

Sirius: What happened?

Eclipse: Matthew hurt me again.

Sirius: How bad this time?

Eclipse: We went to a fancy restaurant and to a new museum exhibit and it was really nice at first. But he was staring at me the entire museum exhibit opening and he brought me back to his apartment.

Eclipse: He was trying and trying to get me to bed to sleep with him and he just wouldn't take a no as an answer. When he finally seemed to take no for an answer, he beat me until I passed out.

Sirius: Eclipse, are you okay?

Eclipse: I'm mostly okay, just my head hurts and my left knee but I'm scared.

Sirius: I think it's time to tell your family, Eclipse, he's hurt you eight times now. I know it's scary, but you aren't safe with him. This is eight strikes, most people wouldn't stay after the first time it happened.

Eclipse: But then who can possibly love me? At least Matthew loves me, he's just...not the best person.

Sirius: There's plenty of people. You also don't need someone to love you to define yourself with. You have a whole family, you have a dad and what now? four brothers?

Eclipse: Five so far.

Sirius: More activated?

Eclipse: Nine activated. One of them was found by Sun, who named him Supermassive. He seems like one of the nice ones. He has my personality but no memories.

Sirius: Just tell them, Eclipse. I promise, they can help you.

11:01am Who Took My Hat?

Eclipse: So what? I'm just going to go up to my father and brothers and tell them 'hey, you know that boyfriend I have? Yeah, he's been abusing me and constantly trying to get me to bed for the last month. Oh yeah, that dress I burned? That's because he ripped it trying to get me to sleep with him.'

Sun: Eclipse?

11:04am Private Message

Eclipse: I'm so screwed.

Eclipse: ijusttextedthewrongchat.jpg

Sirius: I just got my dimensional travel machine up, I'm coming. Just hold on.

Eclipse: Please, Bloody is trying to get into my room.

Sirius: Message them, tell them to give you a minute, you need your support before they try to ask you questions. Deep breaths, you're alright.

11:09am Who Took My Hat?

Eclipse: Give me a minute, please. I need my friend before you start interrogating me.

Lunar: Who's the friend?

Eclipse: Sirius, another version of me, a lot nicer.

Lunar: I know him! Okay, we're all going to wait until Siri is here to talk with Eclipse. He deserves to have his support system. So anyone trying to get to him, leave him alone until Siri is here and we'll let Eclipse have some time with Siri before we bug him about it.

Moon: I'm adding Sirius to the chat.

Moon has added Sirius to Who Took My Hat?

Sirius: Shaddup, I'm getting to my comfort tiny.

Lunar: Oh good, you're already in our dimension, I can bring you to where he is and I'll keep everyone away until Clipsey is ready to talk.

Sirius: Good.

Sirius: Oh yeah, I beat a guy named BB with a wrench this morning and apparently he was coming after me because of Lunar. What did you do?

Lunar: Well, ya see, BB is Puppet's ex-boyfriend and he thought I was dating Puppet, who's my best friend. But he thought I was dating Puppet and he got jealous saying I'd 'stole Puppet from him'. He said he'd hurt someone I love, we even did role call this morning for everyone.

Sirius: Well, I hit him in the face with a wrench and busted his faceplate because screw him.

Lunar: Why thank you, Sirius. We love you and your trusty wrench for using violence upon my bestie's ex.

Sirius: Anytime.

[in which I’ve made my very own #Huevember wheel this year (that you can use too! Pls tag me I’d LOVE to see!) - unabridged version continues, including a wide array of Elysium’verse characters across the rainbow!]

more rare cameos though I’ve certainly drawn Meno a good handful of times!! usually every Huevember!! as one of our very few greens 🙃 nnNOTES

at long last behold the left out third in that day 4 Alena & Hess polycule pic, their partner Meno, and the throuple’s toddler age son Leo! WOO

Leo is biologically Hess and Meno’s son because since Alena’s a Lamia no one knew what would happen if she tried to carry a baby lmao would prob have been a weird little egg or like. an entire snake monster. Whwhhoops

@fenixethekid’s Meno is a super minor god who actually works in the Underworld as a cattle rancher, running a farm of all sorts of ooky spooky creatures. signature goth cowboy

BUT his real claim to fame is as a tattoo artist and body mod piercer etc,, lots of Tory’s tattoos and Charon’s were done by him, I’m sure others that I’m not thinking of bc I’m currently typing this at 1 am the day before it posts, and also some uhh. choice piercings that Tory and Maci both have yknow 😏😏 Hm

Leo’s a little baby and he’s actually completely mute like momma Hess is! He’s completely fluent in sign language (so are Meno, and Alena of course) !

day 11 tomorrow before we can start to inch out of these greens… ALSO TOMORROW 11/11 IS MY BDAY YAAYY

click the link up above to see the whole Huevember wheel - feel free to use the tag AceprilHuevember if u want to play too - and my tag this year can be found here!!

Art I made to get a discord server to scream

And here's some lore for Rigel, my baby, my skrunkly!

Also, tw/cw for implied death

Rigel is based off of Charon, the ferryman of The Underworld, and to be more specific, the ferryman from Hades. His family are also cursed to work with the Shrouds but their curse is different, it formed them into more demons with horns and pitch black sharp teeth and the ability to communicate with phantoms. The Tavourlaris worked with the Shrouds as assistants and to help study Phantoms, due to the language barrier being none existent, they could understand the phantom and be able to calm it down, they stopped after a certain incident. The family were then relocated to work for the CHARON armor, with Rigel's uncle being the head of the department. Ironically, he had a lot of free time in contrast to Rigel's parents, who neglected Rigel, leaving the two to change out. Rigel's uncle, who's named Charon(amazing naming, I know/j) would take Rigel out on boat rides so they could have fun without any interruptions, they played many card games whilst out on the river, but one day they went out, without any cards, Rigel, being around six at the time, fell asleep on the boat, and when he woke up, his uncle was gone.

He then decided to head his friend Scylla, who lived in Tarturus bcus he's half phantom. Yeah, Scylla slashed his face resulting in that scar across his nose. And due to no one wanting or being able to comfort him, who else could he have been able to turn to than Idia for comfort, his only friend in the cruel world that is The Isle of Woe.

After he got enrolled into NRC, he found out his uncle was housewarden of Ignihyde a few generations back, and so he strives to be just like him, losing himself in the process

So yeah that's why he has age regressing habits, clings to Idia like a puppy, has messy hair, and didn't like Perse at the start

Sorry for all that word vomit btw-

"The Loop"

Tommy is like Charon on his own boat who will carry his soul into the world of the dead: "And only the January can get me away". The canal is like the river Styx, a transitional space. I was thinking about Charlie taking Danny Wizz-Bang to London after his fake death and about Orpheus who was forbidden by Charon to cross the river for the second time to take his Eurydice back into the upper world. And now Tommy wants to steer the boat himself.

January is named after Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions in Roman mythology. He is usually depicted as having two faces.

Mosley says: "Just realised you are the perfect balance between the gods Dionysus and Apollo. Irrational frenzy controlled by reason and self reflection. Do you know the work of Frederich Nietzsche?". It was a concept about a duality between them.

Grace is the first who was openly introduced as a two-faced. Barmaid but cop. And here we go: coal but opium, Mosley but Churchill, killings but charity, Grace is dead but she is alive, I'm alive but I'm not, home but prison, I have everything but I have nothing and the icing on a cake, his favorite, a coin toss.

Also, Grace represents opium and death as well, lying like in a coffin. She is the one who's killing him and he allows her to. He's addicted not to opium, but to Grace. Perhaps, the most chilling thing about this addition is that he's fully aware of all the consequences and the fact that his opium is killing him, but he doesn't stop and doesn't want to stop, no matter how bad it is. Because this is probably his only one opportunity to see Grace or even worse, reunite with her.

It was always about contradiction and dichotomy.

The January is the boat he was born on. So it represents his origin. Like an information about his past that can be moved somewhere far away to be concealed. And Tommy says it's their dad's boat. Direct evidence of him thinking he became his own father who had been hated by the whole family. And this is why he tells Ada to keep her new born baby away from him. Tommy turned into his worst fears.

I was writing 5 times Aramis and Porthos get mistaken for gay dads and 1 time they get mistaken for lesbian mums but I got a bit carried away slash sidetracked making up a world to put them in so now it's just '1 time a lot of stuff happens but also nothing at all happens'. I still want that 5+1 fic. Maybe someone else'll make it. Hm. Anyway. Heres 'one time, some stuff; or burry Aramis in babies':

Porthos finds it a bit odd how often he has to explain that Agnes is in fact not dead. Henry's not Aramis's kid, but Aramis got attached, and Agnes lived with him when Henry was small, so Aramis says it might as well count. Henry definitely isn't Porthos's kid, but he goes to the same school where Porthos teaches now, and often ends up hanging out in Porthos's classroom end of days waiting on a ride home. And Porthos is on hand the time Henry punches someone, and Agnes is on shift: she calls in a favour. Short story long, most people assume Agnes is dead and Henry has two gay dads.

"I'm not even dating Aramis," Porthos grumbles, sprawled in the staff room pretending to do lesson planning but really napping with his head on Constance’s lovely thigh.

"Not a conversation you were having out loud babe," Charon says not looking up.

"Someone said how sad that Henry's mum's dead, when I dropped him this morning," Porthos says, providing the rest of the conversation for Charon.

"Thirsty mothers after your gay dad self?" Charon asks, still scribbling on papers at a great rate. "I'm not waiting on you, you know."

Porthos hauls himself off the sofa and away from his comfy napping spot, grabbing his pile of photocopying and wandering back to his classroom to finish up so Charon doesn't leave without him. Henry's still sat doing his homework, at a similar clip to Charon.

"Bum says Louis' over," Henry explains. "He's so annoying. I can't do this important work when he's there. Bum says being a brother is a honour and all sorts. Porthos, you're not listening to me."

Porthos isn't. He's trying to finish his work before Charon leaves him behind, he doesn't want to walk home especially if Henry's going to be complaining about Louis the whole way. He looks at the chaos of his desk in consternation wondering where to start. In the end he just empties some of the piles into his bag and calls it good. He packs up Henry as well and hurries them back to the staffroom trailing complaints from Henry.

"Nearly missed me," Charon says, breezing out and past, not pausing to allow them to change direction so they have to trot to catch up "Henry's coming? Are you gonna eat in my car again?"

"No. Bum didn't pack me enough snacks," Louis complains. He's side eyeing Porthos, seeing how that's landed.

Porthos is trying to remember if he has his house keys. They're halfway across the carpark when Rochelle comes flying around the school and runs full tilt into Porthos and Henry. Mostly Porthos.

"I'm coming to Bum's," Rochelle says, holding onto Porthos’s arm.

Porthos doesn't even remember where Aramis picked up Rochelle she just sort of crept in amongst some of the other kids who come and go and swirl around Aramis. She's older, a bit quieter, but wild with it. Porthos has a soft spot for her.

Especially since she's almost entirely responsible for convincing Aramis that 'bum' is a gender neutral term for 'parental figure'. Most of Aramis's call him Bum.

"Love you, Roch," Porthos says, kissing her forehead.

Then he has to kiss Henry too and promise Rochelle isn't favoured over him (she is) or loved more (she isn't) and by the time they've all piled into Charon's rattly old banger that he is none the less ridiculously proud and precious over, Charon is about ot leave without them. He pulls away as Porthos shuts the passenger side, flicking on the radio to various groans and grumbles and complaints.

Porthos texts Aramis to check Aramis knows there are two more mouths to feed, and Aramis texts back that actually there are four and can they get Luc and Marie. Charon says no but stops when Henry spots them out the window. Porthos wonders where they're gonna fit.

"You're walking babe," Charon says.

"I could fit in the boot," Porthos says, hopefully.

Charon just waits for him to get out and Luc to finish checking Marie is properly strapped in before climbing into the front seat (Porthos's seat). Porthos suggests the boot again, but Charon pulls away. Well, at least he only has to walk half way. At least its warm. At least Charon let him leave his bag and books and laptop so he hasn't got to carry anything. He sticks his hands in hsi pockets and sets off whistling.

"Porthos! Wait up!"

Porthos turns and sees d'Artagnan coming along at a jog, hair flying. He barrels all the way into Porthos just like Rochelle, kissing Porthos's cheeks and hugging him. Porthos starts forward again but d'Artagnan tuts and waits them.

"Athos is coming along," d'Artagnan explains, when Porthos makes impatient noises. It doesn't soothe Porthos, if Athos wants to walk with them he should run, like d'Artagnan did. Porthos's fine mood sinks. "C'mon, he's old, he can't go so fast."

This for Athos's benefit, because he's jsut swung into hearing range. Porthos sets off ignoring his two companions arguing about whether or not thirty five is old. Athos doesn't bother to refute 'slow', as much as d'Artagnan tries to goad him into a foot race. Porthos also resists, mostly by ignoring. He walks at a steady pace.

"What," Athos asks, d'artagnan giving up on them and racing his own shadow, skipping ahead to look at hedges or something.

"What what?" Porthos grumbles. He gives Athos a shove when Athos stays silent.

"Don't push me into the road just because whatever has your knickers twisted," Athos says. "Did you fight with yout boyfriend?"

"I'm not dating Aramis."

There's a long silence. Then Athos says 'huh' as if he didn't know that. Porthos pushes him again, nearly really into the road, a car goes past, Porthos grabs him.

"Saved your life."

"Endangered my life."

“This is me.”

Athos and Porthos stand for a minute, d’Artagnan loops back to hug Porthos again and then Athos and d’Artagnan carry on their walk, Porthos breaks away to cut through the gennel out to the cul de sac where he and Aramis live. He’s been walking to work on and off with Athos for going on ten years, at first they walked an awkward metre apart, different schools but close enough and similar enough to be walking the same route the same time. Then they’d given up and walked together in awkward silence. Then they’d ended up in an easy sort of friendship that mostly consists of their commute. D’Artagnan started teaching with Athos nearly two years ago and lived close so he’s joined them. Neither of them have, somehow, met Aramis.

Henry is doing his homework on the front step, which is effectively the pavement. There isn’t really a step. There’s noise in the house and thundering elephant footsteps and Marie-Cessette comes teetering to the door, leans on Henry, looks up at Porthos, gabbles happily, and thuds back down the hall. Marie walks after her both ways, studiously examining her steps and making sure she doesn’t fall. Porthos climbs over Henry into his house, scooping up both Maries on his way to the kitchen to search out Elodie. Elodie, Charon, and Flea, it turns out. Sitting around in his kitchen with tea and wine and cookies, Luc sitting being grownup with them, Aramis nowhere to be seen.

“Where is he?” Porthos asks, setting the children down now that he’s not at risk of falling over them.

Sam’s sprawled asleep in Charon’s lap, big, only just enough of a toddler to be napping afternoons especially in people’s lap. Charon likes Sam though, Sam’s probably why Charon even agreed to let that lot of Aramis’s into his car. No one answers about where Aramis is. Porthos can hear Rochelle and Fleur out the back, and Marie and Marie-Cessette have found Louis and are squabbling over a puzzle, Henry’s talking to some of the other neighbourhood kids out the front, but not a sound of Aramis. Until a baby sets up a wail. Porthos rolls his eyes and follows the noise.

He finds Aramis in Porthos’s room, a baby in the crook of his arm, talking to-

“Samara!” Porthos cries.

She turns and she smiles, the same as he remembers; warm and lovely and family. He takes a big step and engulfs her as she turns to him, joy bubbling out of him to see her. He’s not sure if he’s laughing or saying hello or crying, he just hangs onto her, hand around the back of her head to pull her in, her arms around him gathering him to her.

“Porthos,” she says, his name wondering in her mouth, “I missed you! You have got bigger, my friend!”

“Taller,” Porthos says, firmly. It’s not true; he’s gained muscle, and then weight, and then muscle, and some more weight. Seeing as, “It’s been two years!”

“Morroco is far away.”

“Far enough away to have a baby without my knowing?” Porthos says, when the baby starts to cry again.

It’s not Samara’s, it turns out, Aramis has collected it somewhere along the way between leaving work and getting home, a story that will have to wait, he’d come into Porthos’s room to talk to Samara when she woke up from her nap and there’s a little of chaos as they work out that Samara is staying with them, is happy to take Porthos’s room, and Porthos is welcome to share the bed (his bed) but only if he promises he’s fixed ‘the kicking thing’ (he hasn’t).

“You can bunk in with me,” Aramis says.

“Not on your life, not with that one that young,” Porthos says. “Like you’re tricking me into getting up every few hours for feeds again.”

Aramis sniggers.

“You kicked me,” Samara says, sternly, crossing her arms and standing between him and the bed like he’s about to climb in right now and never get out leaving her to sleep with Aramis and do the baby feeding dance of sleep deprivation.

Porthos, effectively ousted from his own home, goes to ask Marie if she minds sharing with him as well as Luc for a few nights. Luc won’t care, he was in group homes for a bit before he found Marie again and dragged them both out, stumbling them into Aramis’s warm little chaotic tangle. They’re the only kids who have an actual fully-owned space here, the others always have a place, they hot desk with bedrooms and share when it’s full, Rochelle and Fleur have claimed the attic but they’re decidedly not allowed to sleep up there until Porthos takes his thumb out and sorts steps and safe exits in the case of fire, and Aramis gets around to stopping Rochelle from using heavy boxes to lock them in up there.

Neither of those things are happening any time soon; Porthos is busy and can’t be bothered to do DIY, Aramis is far too soft to properly discipline his girls. Or his boys, or his in-betweenies-undecideds. Marie says she doesn’t mind Porthos having a mattress on their floor so long as he is happy to tell her stories about giants and pirates and octopuses if she wakes up in the night.

WHB:

How would you rate each one’s outfits?

Completely honest, unbiased opinion based on nothing but my gut reaction? Can do!

Satan

8/10

I kind of adore his boiler suit (is that what it's called?) Like, unironically, I love it. His entire army wears high fashion and he's dressed like he's going to his blue collar job.

Is it because of all the blood? Does he just own 200 sets of this one outfit so he can toss them instead of washing them?

Mammon

8/10

MAN KNOWS HOW TO LET HIS TIDDIES HANG OUT

He is inviting you to bury your face right in there and I accept

Beelzebub

6/10

A whore! Look at him! He is a whore and he owns every moment of it!

I appreciate that he's living his best life.

Leviathan

9/10

I love him... but his outfit is so generic compared to everyone else. It's fitting for his realm and their gentlemanly nature, but it doesn't really stand out.

But I am biased so he gets extra points for that.

Sitri

7/10

What a gentleman, but there's nothing very unique that sense it apart from the rest of the uniform.

Leraye

2/10

Ditch the teddy bears. Please. I hate them.

Love the monocle so much though.

Astaroth

10/10

The snake seals the deal. The snake bites are a nice touch. Fuck I am weak to simple things.

Paimon

7/10

SLAY!

He dresses better than I do and he makes it work. Like, damn. He knows exactly what to do.

Still not my thing though.

Zagan

6/10

Bunny? Bunny boy. I am soft for him.

He's kind of dull though.

Dantalian

0/10

No.

Anything education themed makes me uncomfortable as fuck.

Phenix

9/10

Go off king!

He's living his best life.

Morax

2/10

No. Too many bandages. And blood. And... not enough of anything else.

Not here for it.

Marbas

7/10

I love and hate it. He's just so broad at the top and thinner at the bottom that it kind of throws me off.

On the other hand... bandages hot and he's bursting out of his clothes. Seeing him tied up is also pretty hot.

I think I'm bias because I saw his chibi first and did NOT image he would look like that.

Barbatos

7/10

He's so pretty. Everything about him is so pretty. He's just... not my type?

Like, his outfit is well put together (the rope may be a bit much), black and red are always a good color duo, his eyes aren't distracting dissimilar. But something about it just doesn't work for me.

I do love a good rose motif.

Foras

8/10

LOVE IT! It's the same outfit as Barbatos, but something about Foras is just more appealing. I think it's the weird tear streak tattoos or his horns, but I fucking love it!

Bimet

8/10

I love everything except the money in his hair.

Love his chest on full display and his black and gold colors.

Also his skulls are cool af! I always loved the money in the eyes. It gives me a sort of Charon vibe and I am all for it!

Bael

7/10

He's so simple, but I love him.

Unfortunately, the Avisos outfit just isn't my jam. At least his is a little different with the writing.

Stolas

6/10

See Bael

Amon

6/10

See Bael

Minhyeok

5/10

Not good, not bad. Just generic.

Gabriel

8/10

I am weak to angels. All white and pretty as fuck.

I want to tie him up so bad and get his clothes dirty.

Eligos

9/10

Baby boy, you are so fucking pretty.

I love your robe and your pretty bows.

Gusion

0/10

No.

See Dantalian

Bathin

6/10

He loses points because he lost some moons from his prototype and I wanted them.

Love his earrings though. I want them.

Solomon

12/10

No critiques. He wins.
