Orestes and Erinys

A bit over a month ago I had to give a short presentation on Aischylos‘ Oresteia as part of my coursework and reading it gave me the idea for this piece.

Specifically, it is referencing lines 1057-1058 of the Libation Bearers, where, for the first time, Orestes is seeing the Furies.

(The text does explicitly describe blood dripping from the Furies’ eyes, but when I noticed this, the idea of a blood-covered face had already developed, and I chose to keep it. Also I didn’t have the time or patience to paint more than two figures, so I suppose you can imagine the rest of the Furies somewhere off-screen or something)

So, among the many entities that they are, are Neil Gaiman's Three supposed to be also the Graeae? Or did I musunderstand?

Chibi time! My fiance, who also DMs for my group, had the idea of making printable paper mini tokens for our table, of notable NPCs. He asked for chibi designs because of paper children (are these still a thing?). First up is Serrah, the Goldspun. She's Elya's much older half-sister, and a half-Erynie. I'll show the finished token once he assembled it. I seldom do chibis, but this was fun to do. One day, I'll do a full- size version of her. Maybe I should offer chibi commissions too?

ETA: The pose was referenced from one of the pictures here, by shinekoshin.

LO thoughts part II

At the beginning of LO, we've got two different worlds which collide at some point. But before they do, there is a symmetry between these worlds, and let's see about that:

-The Lover: Either Kore or Hades, one half of our OTP.

-The Hulk: their green relative with more or less the same job but doing it very differently: Demeter or Poseidon.

-The Girlboss: this girl who is whatever is the closest of a best friend but is not quite that at the same time, and who will protect them if needed until that role is taken by the other Lover: Artemis and Hecate. Also, they are in both cases the roommate, and the roommate who was here before the other's arrival but accepts their arrival in her world because she likes them.

-The Lousy Psychopomp: This guy working to bring things from life world to death world but is not exactly an example of rigor: Hermes and Thanatos.

-The Purple Beeped who they can't get rid of because of family ties (to themselves or to their local girlboss).

-The Nice Weirdo with a crush: either Ares or Megaera, in both cases they had a friendly neighbourhood weirdo with a crush on them, in both cases it never became anything serious (Hades barely knows Megaera exists except as part of her sisters) and the character is a warmonger who briefly becomes comic relief for the scenes of the flash-backs where we learn the unrequited love they hvae for our Lover.

Also, after the Panatheneas, Persephone receives excuses from Eros and Hades talks with Aphrodite, so everytime there is a mirror thingy. Idk. Food for thoughts I guess.

Greek mythology: A first masterpost

I finally decided to put together a masterpost gathering my posts about Greek mythology and Greek gods! I probably won’t get everything, because they are scattered throughout years of this blog, but you will have here all of the most recent ones!

Fighting the Misconceptions about Greek Mythology and Gods

The Hades/Zeus case

The Zeus case: Why such a messy love life? Part 1 and part 2 and

TV Tropes’ fanciful interpretation of Greek mythology: weird details and why the gods do not have a psychology and why them having a Classical Mythology page bothers me . Plus one of the problems of TV tropes (and the Internet as a whole) when receiving Greek myths . Plus my original post depicting my problem with TV tropes’ take on Greek myths.

Do not make things bigger than they were

Why are gods depicted old? (I will probably develop this little joke post into a bigger one later)

We always know but one version of a myth

The three interpretations of Greek mythology - by the Greeks themselves

The five things that, for me, make a “bad” Greek mythology interpretation or adaptation

I hijacked a post to talk about Riordan’s take on Greek gods (with some Lore Olympus in it): part 1 - part 2 - part 3

Various mythological details and topics

Zeus had others wives, you know?

My reaction to “Blood of Zeus”

A whole discussion about the fatness of Dionysos in art and media

I can’t praise enough the Greek mythology season of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller

Hephaestus, the straightest of all the gods?

Why not a black-haired Apollo?

A random detail about the Apollo/Helios situation

How many Muses? (This post was supposed to be the intro to a longer series looking at groups of Greek goddesses and deities in mythology such as the Charites or the Erynies, but given its low success the series was “cancelled”)

After playing two of the Petra and Erynis quests, I hinestly think it would be cool of the magic horses' magic coat was locked behind a high level. Like the horse only displays it's magic coat when your bond is high enough.

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜ for anyone if you feel like doing this!

Hey arrow! I hit a really nasty writer's block with this one, so for now I'm calling it a WIP and giving you what I managed. Context: Theo is recovering from That Time He Fought An Erynys To Save Giliys's Soul, and also is trying to figure out how to tell Giliys "I love you" for the first time.

"I'm not going into shock," you force yourself to say.

"Your heart's beating so fast–of course you're going into fucking shock!"

"I'm not going into shock! I'm just–" and you freeze, because while you may not know how you should tell him, you know not like this!

"You're just what?!"

"...trying to figure out how to say 'I love you.'"

Gilly freezes, the fingers of his left hand still on your neck, taking your pulse. "You…what now?"

"I love you," you repeat.

"I–no you don't."

It takes you a moment to recognize your reaction to that, so rarely do you experience it these days. You are angry–no, not angry. Furious. Enraged. It's even worse than when Gilly told you the truth, because that anger had been tempered with grief and disbelief and even joy at his own ill-timed confession of love.

You close your eyes and take a breath. You will not let your feelings run away with you. That's something the old Theo would do. You're better than he was.

"For the last twenty-four years, I have welcomed the new year in the exact same way: I sit by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book, and I read until the clock strikes twelve and the Brastlewark New Year's Extravaganza begins. I always put aside my book and move to the window, and I watch my neighbors ring in the new year, and I think to myself, this is the year I get over Gilly. And every year, for the last twenty-three years, I've said farewell to the old year wondering where I went wrong. Because it doesn't seem to matter how hard I try to meet other people or focus on myself or any of the other advice they give you for this, because just when I think I've got a handle on it, you walk in the door with that with that damn smirk on your face, and nothing else matters at all. Do not tell me I don't love you when I've been sitting here, torturing myself for two and a half decades because I can't stand the thought of never seeing you again, because I've tried everything else, goddammit, but I will not–mmm–?"

Gilly, who has been trying to get a word in edgewise almost since you started speaking, has finally given up, shifted his left hand behind your head, and pulled you in to suddenly press his lips to yours. It takes you by surprise, and for a moment you freeze, your heart pounding in your ears–and then you pull back, pushing against his chest with your hands. "What…what is happening?" you ask.

"I'm…kissing you? Because I love you, too?"

You are so taken aback that you almost don't stop yourself from blurting out the first thing that comes to mind, that thing being 'have you ever kissed anyone before?' (Because, given the way his lips just kind of glomped onto yours and how your noses were pressed together, you doubt it) You fortunately stop yourself before you can humiliate him–and then you process his explanation. "You…you do?"

"I told you I do, didn't I?"

"Well, yes, but I'd assumed you'd have changed your mind after I threatened to kill you."

"So I just broke into a hellknight citadel for shits and giggles, then?"

You suddenly feel very, very foolish for expecting Gilly to understand that fighting an erinys was your way of saying "I love you."

27 août - repartir de zéro

repartir, s'envoler, n'emmener que les livres les plus légers et des plumes de pie trouvées sur le chemin. j'ai souvent fait ça, j'ai gardé le cap en changeant d'océan. mais on n'arrive jamais au bout de ses peines ; on se déchire, on se rend la tâche plus difficile, on cède aux peurs et on repart comme avec les Erynies aux trousses. puis on grandit. on pose sa valise. on respire plus profondément. doucement, doucement.

I've seen people rightly being a bit confused at Raven Beak stating that the Metroids being programmed to be aggressive towards the Mawkin despite them and the Thoha collaborating back on SR388.

Personally this is my take:

The Thoha and Mawkin have always had a rocky relationship, which is inevitable given that we have one peaceful scientific tribe and a warrior one, plus Raven Beak doesn't really seem subtle in his arrogant demeanor. Despite this in the past they've tried getting along, perhaps due to a sense of kinship, of the Chozo having to stick together despite their internal differences to survive their constant decline.

This led to a number of joint ventures, such as Raven Beak being asked to donate his DNA to Samus (though he most likely planned to use her as a bioweapon in the future) and the colonization of SR388.

When the Thoha created the Metroids they realized they were fearsome creatures and that a guy like Raven Beak would be awfully interested in a weapon like that so they explicitly programmed to be loyal only to the Thoha and aggressive towards the Mawkin, eliminating any possibility that they could ever control them. This probably didn't make Raven Beak too happy and was also what further motivated him to kill all but one of them.

Also, given the presence of paintings in Ferenia depicting Mawkin soldiers fighting zebesian Space Pirates, and the presence of Kraid I like to imagine that the Mawkin were called to fend off the Pirates from Zebes, and during their battles they managed to capture a baby Kraid (I mean hey Tiny Kraid from Super is canon right?) and a baby Erynis/Draygon to use in their bioweapon experiments. They probably had to abandon Zebes because that's when the X infection on ZDR started to happen and had to focus their efforts there.

Trenches in the Ether

Insane is the violence above my head : trenches created on the ether, ghosts battling against my sanity, taunting, picturing the worst. My hands tried to reach them, send them back to disappear, but their white drapes always stayed, moving like a thousand snakes at once. Medusa's children, flying as a perfect hive, never reaching me, but their drones resonating like an endless tinnitus, growing until implosion. So I close my eyes, they all disappear. I welcome the noise as a part of me. I made it harmonize with my screams, synchronize with my heartbeat, I let it be. I accepted it. It is me. I will modulate the darkness it inspires everywhere, and transform it into pure beauty. A light so bright it can only be seen eyes shut. A music so beautiful, you need to be asleep to cry. Endless. Eternity. The violence gone, the soul rested. Floating, the ghosts are now one with the light. Their anger is gone. I was them. My anger is gone. I'm floating.

It's a dream within a dream. a temple within the temple. A force so unknown it has yet to be used for evil. The golden city of Atlantis the undiscovered or the lost. Floating. not in the high skies, nor above the clouds. Always linked to the flesh that keeps us grounded. We need to understand. We need to lose control. We need to let go. We need to close our eyes when they are already closed. We need to go deeper. Deeper and deeper. Deeper in the understanding of what overcomes the cage of flesh we bear every day. This imperfect prison of strenght, of forces, of our dark magic that can never be outed. We need to escape. Float away. Project ourselves away

And in an inner dance of hidden movements, I will defy the world of the living, shut my eyes with a smile, facing the awakened demons as myself, undone, broken beyond recognition, but as myself. I will end this existence with a spasm of light and fury that the erynies will shiver from their dark cave. I will dance until twilight, until i break myself even more, until I cannot take anything anymore. With that unscarred smile, with these closed eyes, I will be.

To The Emperor | Kaguya | Post-Trial Reaction | RE: Results, Erynis

It feels like her chest is going to burst from everything happening inside of it, this absolute storm of emotions. Sadness, relief, anger, confusion, fear. Pain.

Kaguya can't move from her spot at the podium, nails still weakly clawing down it. But eyes like night once again meet with eyes like the dawning sun, and she smiles, as best she can.

It's their last performance, after all.

"Hate you?" it sounds like a laugh, but its quite clear that she's trying her best to fight back tears.

"For a misunderstanding? For something that could have been avoided under better circumstances? Don't be silly, Prince..."

The both of them were stubborn. She can only imagine the type of fight they'd gotten in. Marlene likely overstepped some boundaries and Erynis retaliated. It could have deescalated if they were different people, but they weren't.

They were both so wonderfully, unapologetically themselves. Just like Kaguya. And that's why she'd offered them her hands to hold.

Both of those hands would be empty soon.

It's just like the story, isn't it? Princess Kaguya doesn't live a happy ending. She doesn't stay with the emperor or her beloved family, no. She's pulled back to the moon, where she must atone for her own crimes.

Alone.

"We all know who's fault it really is. Please, keep your chin up. Royals like us have to keep up their appearances even in the worst times, remember?"

Stars are falling, but she keeps smiling.

"I'm...sorry I don't have a parting gift for you like the real princess did. I wish I could grant you one last with, but..."

She wasn't a real princess after all. She was a sad, lonely girl who was losing the two people who'd accepted her despite that fact.

"If we meet again...I'll try my best to..."
