“twelveclara’s were so toxic that they needed to be separated” “twelveclara made each other worse” “twelveclara were codependent” *LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE*

am i the only who just reads twelveclara’s arc as a romantic tragedy?

#like it’s shakespearean… it’s greek mythicism… #they were always doomed. #its about the tragedy of fate. #twelveclara #whouffaldi #clara oswald #twelfth doctor #doctor who

A really old painting of Medusa Gorgon I made. I think it is more than three years old, but kind of still has its charm.

how I think Ancient Greek mythology boys would treat you hcs:

Achilles:

🏺-He’s a bit possessive, not entirely in a ‘red flag’ kind of way but a ‘My partner, I’ll kill you if you touch them” type of way

🏺- He doesn’t like to admit it but he loves to cuddle and hold you close. Especially after he takes a cold shower- he’ll just flop down next to you and shimmy over until he’s on top of you and he’ll just stay there; recharging from your warmth

🏺-he’s definitely more of a physical touch is his lover language type of guy. So holding hands, kisses on the cheeks, touching your hair, caressing you softly. Yeah- that’s what he likes

🏺- He seriously doesn’t like it when other men try to flirt with you..it rubs him the wrong way and it makes his anger bubble up, but he’s definitely not about to go over there and punch the guy in the face……at least..not when you’re around

🏺- He gets anxious when he sees you hurt, like I’m talking about, sprained ankle, flesh wounds, things like that. He grumbles to himself and makes you promise to be more careful.

Patroclus:

🌿- He’s not as possessive as Achilles, but he definitely has his possessive tendencies, like when you’re talking to another man, he’ll casually stroll on up and wrap his arms around you and just watch the guy with narrowed eyes

🌿- he’s a big old puppy dog, he loves hugging you whenever he can. He loves showering you with kisses. It’s just his thing. He especially enjoys holding you in bed and just listening to you heart beat

🌿-However, he loves giving gifts as well. From flowers to home cooked meals. You name it.

🌿- He doesn’t get as jealous as Achilles, but he only locks in when another man or woman is touching you inappropriately without your permission..he hates it.. he’ll try to be polite but stern about it.

🌿- If you ever get hurt, he doesn’t worry that much- because he’s confident he can heal any wound you appear to him with.,though he’d rather prevent than cure…

Perseus:

🛡️- He’s a big old golden retriever boy. He doesn’t get jealous easily because he’s confident that you wouldn’t leave him. He’s only a bit clingy and he almost always insists on carrying you places

🛡️- his love language is words of affirmation, or just loving words in general while he places soft kisses to your hand or palm. The look of devotion in his eyes when you stare back at him. The soft “My love…” or “my beloved..”..it just hits home for him.

🛡️- he loves to have you in his arms whenever he can. It just comes naturally to him, nuzzling your neck as he giggles and cuddles you on the sofa or bed or even the floor. He especially loves to tickle you just to hear your giggles.

🛡️- like mention before. He doesn’t get jealous that easily, instead he’ll probably loudly proclaim that you’re his spouse. And he gets a satisfied look on his face when he sees the scowl on other men or even women.

🛡️- if you get hurt he’ll apologise for not looking after you more carefully..even when you tell him it’s fine.he’s disappointed in himself for letting it happen. Especially under his roof. However anytime you do come to him to get it patched up. He’ll always give a small kiss to the treated wound. Like “boo boos go bye bye”

Orpheus:

🎼- He’s a bit sheepish with touch, but as soon as he warms up to it, he really loves to hold hands..and cuddle. It makes him feel safe and relaxed

🎼- He isn’t totally possessive, but he does make sure the person is at least an arms length away from you.. for their sake.

🎼- he loves to write odes to you. Songs, poems, the works. He’s got an entire book of love letters and an even bigger journal of songs and poems he’ll read to you.

🎼- He’s not really a jealous person but does get a bit moody and pouty, and sometimes he unintentionally stares at the man that’s flirting with you, and it’s so uncomfortable that the man leaves you alone. 🎼- when you get hurt, he’ll most certainly heal you. No doubt about, however he mutters to himself before you call him out on it. He apologises but it’s honestly cute, the way his brow furrows and his eyes are filled with worry. Afterwords he holds you in a soft hug.

sksksksksk I might do more of this. Eh if you see this and like it- drop more mytho boys for me to write about

NEW OC JUST DROPPED!! I had so much fun with him, made in the midst of reading the Iliad (the Trojans, the 'oathbreakers'??? wink wink nudge nudge!!) and Mythic Odysseys of Theros. 

:3 Check out his write up, it's one of my favourite backstories so far haha he died a war hero (i wonder who) and upon his death his soul was sent to the afterlife. He refused to cross over at which point he broke out (and assumed anyone can bc he's just that heroic) but as punishment the boatman stole his memories so he has to start at level 1 (reborn race) and has his obols still stuck to his eyes lol. He's like a figment/fraction of his past self lol He also uses flying boots as a mobility aid!

"I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground..." Secret santa number two, this time for my personal DND group, featuring my friend's pc Nehesi. This piece got real ambitious real quickly so imma treat yall to some detail shots, as well as a flat colour version because I spent AGES detailing those feathers only to shade them into oblivion lmao [image description: a digital illustration depicting Nehesi, a large, powerful sphynx, prowling through an Ancient Greek temple. Her head to turned to look directly towards the viewer, her golden eyes glowing brightly in the dim candlelight. Blood is smeared down her chin and neck, dripping from her teeth as she snarls. Her forelegs are also drenched in blood, and she leaves dark smears on the floor as she drags her claws across it. Behind her stands a marble and gold statue, depicting a goddess holding a book and quill. Her face is in shadow, darkening her expression. At the foot on the statue are five candles, some of which have just blown out. In the corner lies the crumbled ruins of another statue - visible in the rubble is the head and golden spear of Athena. Scattered throughout the temple are the silhouettes of slumped bodies, some laying in pools of blood. End ID]
