When I was a kid one of my moms would call her period "moon time" or "her monthlies" or shit like that and my other mom straight up stealthed it, but when I'm a dad I think I'm gonna go straight down the middle and call it Werewolf Week. Like sorry kids, dad can't roughouse right now, it's Werewolf Week

#Plus my sense of smell always goes crazy like a couple days prior #So #I feel like I could really lean into the mythos #They'll get the talk of course but Werewolf Week sounds way cooler than Lady Time or whatever the fuck

"Actually in the REAL mythology [Ovid retelling; not canon to the actual religion or pantheon in any way, not what ancient Greek people believed and just a reimagining, literally poems written by a dude who intentionally put different spins on the God's narratives, not story of the real fucking myth]" SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

#please dont believe any greek mythos shit you learn on tumblr they literally dont know that they're talking about. they don't know it's ovid

On the topic of hormones, the people who say that women, notably, are inherently weaker or less competent/competitive than men (especially physically) because of their estrogen are the same types of people to have said that women shouldn't run or ride trains because their uteruses would fly out of their bodies.

#feminism #in mythologizing hormones misogyny is not reinvented but reinforced #misogyny especially has been defended 'based on natural and inherent biology' since the dawn of time #and especially with a trans lense this is exasperated #you have people who simultaneously say that hormones are useless to pursue... #...but hormones are also SO powerful and potent that we shouldn't have the ability to consent to using them #i had a huge long talk about this with my dad and i think he's much more a feminist than he wants to admit #i love talking about hormones and bodies but holy shit there's no inherent holiness/mythos about it #my testosterone is wayyy higher than serana williams but she would kick my ASS in tennis all day every day #because (get this) hormones aren't this mythologized superpower. they're hormones. and they're found in all of us in different levels

A doctor rushing to a small town on horseback, praying diligently to Hermes for safe and speedy travel so that they may make it before the patient is too sick to help. Hermes hearing this - and curious by it. People often ask for safety from thieves. Thieves ask for luck amongst the roads, potential targets to snag and steal. Merchants request shortcuts so they may sell their wares quicker. Rarely does he ever hear prayers for safety, for speed, for luck so that someone may help another.

So he follows silently, a little sparrow soaring above. Slips down from the air to the ground, as tiny as a mouse, and darts rapidly behind running boots. Watches from the corner of a room as a child weakly breathes and a doctor patiently attends to them.

It's interesting to him, the care. He's not yet seen it much in travelers - seen it in families, of course, in friends. But never in strangers. People are wary of those they meet on roads. Strangers on hidden paths, far away from helpful eyes and warrior swords, prickle with potential danger.

And yet...

It's interesting to watch the colour rise back to a pale face, cheeks flushed, lungs drained of fluid and now breathing clearer. A medicinal paste is rubbed into a lanced wound. Clear words, clear instructions.

The doctor stays for a few more days, attending to small ailments, checking in on the child. And then they're off to the next town, praying for safety and speed so they may help those who need it before it's too late.

He follows. He watches. He learns.

It fascinates him. Healing, helping. Traveling roads endlessly to take care of others. Even at cost, it's baffling. The effort, the drive - how do they manage it? Aren't they tired?

All travelers settle down eventually. Nomadic lifestyles run thin as age impacts movement. Energy. And yet on and on this doctor roams. And others soon follow.

Please, Lord Hermes, they whisper into rushing wind, please let me make it in time. Before someone falls prey to Death's cold scythe. I just want to help.

Okay, he whispers back, inaudible to their ears but not to their growing spirit. Run, my child. You will make it. You will help.

#was thinking about how the cadauceus is the symbol of medicine when it should be the rod of Asclepius #but also my belief that since doctors often traveled from town to town they were under hermes's guidance just as traveling merchants were #and travel is still normal for medicine!! traveling nurses are still a thing you know #and doctors who go overseas to perform medicial procedures in impoverished places that dont have access to that kinda care #happy talks greek mythos #hermes #he's curious and he follows and he learns

Family lunch over ( +10 people), and ask my cousin if she knew something about, cough, cough, Odyssey, cough, cough Illiad.

And she said that she was hooked for 4 months to a musical in progress EPIC; the conversation went like this

Me: hey, In collegue I fell down a rabbit hole of Greek mytho, and do you know by chance something about the Odyssey?? Cousin: Same, I´m watching a musical right now and I´m obssesed Me: which one? Cousin: Epic i think, it´s done by a Jorge I think Me: ehh, wait, WHAT? EPIC???!!!!!!!!!! Cousin: yeah.. why? Me: Because is the one I´m also obssesed. The two: HOLY MOLY!, What´s your favourite song, character.....?

Then I said to my mom if she knew something and she said that she read The ODYSSEY and went to GREECE in her 30´s with her friends to see ancient ruins of the EPIC CYCLE.

Asked the same to all my cousins, uncles and aunts, with different degrees of knowledge they talked about Homer´s works and how much they liked it.

I don´t have words; my family is a family of WINIONS, MY F FAMILY IS A WINION GROUP! I´M DEAD, ROASTED, CREMATED.

First grandma last night and today this, my god why I didn´t asked before, this is perfect T T

#I´m a winion in a family of winions #and greek mytho enjoyers #what a productive weekend #No one knew that from eachother #suffice to say we spent 2 hours talking about The Odyssey #Illiad and more #The Odyssey #the iliiad #the epic cycle #epic the musical #odysseus

finally delivering on the princess tutu headshots i promised... love these dysfunctional teens 🩰💖💕

LOTS of notes about headcanons/design choices under the cut! like. a lot. dont say i didnt warn you

starting with my specialest guy fakir:

i had a suuuper clear vision for fakir, and i couldnt be happier with how he turned out, he looks exactly how i imagine him! trying to translate his Bird-Shaped Hair into my style gave me SERIOUS homestuck flashbacks. my affinity for knights with Problems knows no bounds...

adding the hyperpigmentation around his eyes and his acne scars is what really solidified this for me-- i put those in and was like oh!!! there you are!!! my boy!!! and you can tell because i gave him acne scars + thick eyebrows that he IS my boy... there are very clear trends among my headcanons for my faves lol. big noses, thick eyebrows, skin imperfections, heavy eyebags, long dark hair... and fakir truly has it all 😤 he is so Ideal Character Design to me

i think fakir is actually pretty self-conscious about his appearance tho! we see characters like pike and lilie say hes handsome to ahiru, but i dont know how often he actually hears that? and im sure its hard not to compare himself to mytho, who is straight out of a fairy tale; being a regular teenager dealing with regular teen body stuff is hard enough without your roommate being a magically beautiful eternally youthful storybook hero. i think he probably internalises more that people see him as scary and angry, and that the girls who do have crushes on him always frame it in contrast to mytho, who is Good and Kind and Handsome, implying (or sometimes outright stating!) that fakir is Bad and Mean and... Well...

fakir is very sensitive but quiet about it, so i think its a very private point of self-consciousness. i think he puts a lot of semi-secret effort into his appearance; canonically he has a lot of very funny and clearly customised clothing, and he chooses to keep his hair long and in a very particular style (i have a whole breakdown in my mind of how he achieves that style and it involves a surprising amount of pins and an unsurprising fuckton of teasing. i think his hair is a little fried from heat damage!), and i think that probably extends to other things, too, like manicuring his eyebrows and doing a lot of very Teenage Skincare that doesnt actually help his acne much lol. i think he probably has a lot of self-injurious habits and BFRBs like skin picking and chewing, mostly at his acne and around his nails (both of which he hates, because he knows he shouldnt but does it anyway). i think if he does it enough that theres noticeable evidence it feels, like, world-ending for him, ESPECIALLY if anyone asks what happened lol. do not perceive him except in the very specific ways and contexts he approves of THANKS

on to the narratives favorite princess, mytho:

again, i had a pretty clear idea of the vibe i wanted mytho to have going into this-- i want him to have, like, extreme prince charming vibes, very Classically Handsome without necessarily being 'conventional.' i thought a lot about 'the happy prince' story while i was working on this, and really wanted him to look like a cross between how the prince statue looks in my head and a porcelain doll. and also a cross between jonny brown and brigitte bardot? lots of very direct influences for him lol. so! lots of gold tones, gemmy eye color, cute little tooth gap, quivering wide-eyed thousand-yard-stare doe eyes and big ol dolly anime lashes, which were the very last thing i added because i was NERVOUS about pulling those off lol. they turned out cute tho! ive only done a handful of pieces for this series and i can already tell princess tutu is gonna make me up my lash drawing game considerably, these kids all look like they blink and cause a hurricane from the gale force wind of their falsies

also wait i lied the very last thing i did was add his freckles/beauty marks because he needed that little extra oomph and those were It. i think he probably has some on his hands/wrists too 💕

i was a little unsure if my idea for his hair would translate with this flat-color approach but im pretty happy with it! its supposed to be afrotextured hair (somewhere between 3b and 4c i think? wide range of potential i knowww but im still kind of hammering out my headcanons okay, this is exploratory lol) thats been rolled and finger-styled into his little feather shapes. i think loose, chunky twists would be another fun way to interpret his hair and twists are one of my fave styles to draw do i might draw him like that at some point too...

i guess fakir is the one who styles his hair for him before mytho gets his heart back? i imagine fakir is pretty meticulous about maintaining mythos health and appearance, even at the worst stages of their relationship. i think itd be hard for fakir to frame the way he treats mytho as For Mythos Sake if he wasnt doing some level of actually beneficial care for him, so being really fastidious about things like mythos diet and sleep hygiene and hair care and such gives fakir an outlet for his 'you just have to do what i tell you' thing that helps him convince himself it really is helping, no really, hes doing this for mythos benefit and he just has to be strict with him because mytho doesnt UNDERSTAND he needs PROTECTING and fakir is the ONLY ONE who can do it so mytho HAS to let him because if he doesnt then why does fakir even EXIST, if he cant manage this then what is he good for, and--

yknow. the usual complexes. and their relationship is so complex!!! but also so simple, but like. in a good way. fakirs behavior is complicated but his motivation regarding mytho is SO straightforward which makes that downward spiral into harm really easy to map out... i wont go much into that in this post since this is about visual/appearance-related headcanons but just. augh. i love this show and i love these characters!!! and i hope its apparent in my work that i do love them so <3

im hoping to do a set of these for the girls next!!! i have some other stuff to finish first but hopefully... Soon... Some Birds...

#princess tutu #fakir #mytho #prince siegfried #my art #i had sooo much fun playing around with style in these... the super strong white highlights + underpainting combo looks SO lovely #i should take this approach more often i almost never do!!! it rules and is fun to do #i was listening to my fakir playlist nonstop for DAYS while working on this and still intermittently since... #it feels like ive been sitting on these for a month but its only been 5 days omg. crazy... good to know tho #anyway i love themmm theyre everything. SO fun to draw i really hope i can do more art of them. i Want To... i have Ideas >:o) #btw is putting notes on my thoughts under a cut like this interesting for yall? its fun for me but idk if yall wanna read all that #i will probably continue regardless bc i love to hear myself talk esp abt my design choices but #im curious if my notes on my thought process are interesting to anyone else #if not oh well! thats what the cut is for 😤 nobodys gotta read it if they dont wanna im doing this for Me #full color

Your mythiru art is a blessing. I'm rewatching the anime and still so salty about the ending and the fandom's overall dismissal of the pairing when episode 13 exists (and basically the entire first half of the season where it's established more than once duck loves mytho and mytho loves tutu who is still duck despite her insecurities).

I feel the same exactly! 🩷 I have much to say on the subject but tl:dr I plan to keep making Mytho x Ahiru draws and spread the love for them! They need much more love than they get!

#princess tutu #mythiru #ahiru arima #ahiru #mytho #ptt #im really passionate about this topic i could talk about it for hours if allowed

[shikai-the-storyteller]

It's still so crazy to me that Pac made it canon that Felps saw Cell maul him in prison. I wonder who he hated more in that moment — the perpetrator or the bystander

#i talk #qsmp talk #obviously they're on good terms now but it's still wild #I want all the juicy details I want to know more about what Pac thought about that #anyways maybe Pac didnt even hate either of them! hes a weird dude #tbh I think his brain was in full-blown survival mode so hate and anger weren't really at the forefront of his mind #But I do wonder how he felt when he first saw Felps again #especially with the sainthood thing? #Aren't saints bystanders by nature? Something to watch over people but not directly interviene? #<- I guess it depends on the mythos or specific branch but #Felps' whole thing intrigues me. Jailer Bystander Saint #anyways I think it's interesting that Pac's kissed both Cellbit and Felps #fandom tropes read him well

When I inevitably draw gods again who would y’all like to see first

#anyone from any pantheon #mytho talks

[lesbianfakir]

Neeeeeeeeeeed a princess tutu dating sim mostly because I would use it to psychologically torment fakir

#I have thoughts about this actually #and I think it would be cool if it advertises itself as a dating sim #but none of the routes actually lead to romance #like if you do mytho’s route he ends up with rue etc etc #but then each route is instead focused on building a strong friendship with that character #and (if you go for the good ending) recognizing what it takes to make them happy isn’t necessarily with you #I just think tutu would be a really good non romance romance game #lea talks #princess tutu

And this isn't a "My favorite series is ____" this is SURVIVAL

ASDFGHJKL

Just been talking to this npc and he was like 'oh hey!! Nice of them to send out a guy so soon after I sent my letter!' and when link did his little talking hand gestures my full expectation was the next words to be 'omg the hero?? Zeldas knight?? The champion of hyrule? You guys were missing it was all over the kingdom!!'

Npc: oh, so you're just some guy? Man, I thought they would have sent someone out by now, I've been waiting ages...

A) no you haven't

B) Link, WHAT????

Asdfghjkl??? NO WONDER he's been Tony Hawked he's not even introducing himself with his name??!

Actually... Given what other people have been calling him, I think he's been introducing himself as 'just a wandering swordsman'.

LINK THAT WAS YOUR FAULT THE WHOLE TIME???

#Lmaoooo #That explains so much #Josha especially that's so funny. Like she knew link on sight and does know his name but always calls him swordsman. #Bet that's how he introduced himself when they first met and then zelda appeared XD so now he always gets the nickname #I like that link chose to do that himself and it's not just everyone failing to recognise him. Like he doesn't want the fame and fawning #He's happy as is. Can't tell me he doesn't have a sense of humour tho with the amount of people who talk about the hero to his face. #Met a guy just after who told link he was on a trip to 'something forest' where he was going to get the master sword because he was the her #No idea where he got his information I'm assuming he thinks link kicked it when he went missing and that the title gets handed down?? #Link was just 'mhm uhuh' the whole time completely blank faced it was GREAT. #Similarly fi has the funniest mythos in bottok. We've had the master torch and gourd and several people who didn't recognise it and #A handful of people who claim THEY'RE the legendary hero. Hysterical. I hope they're all having fun wherever they are XD. #loz #loz totk #tears of the kingdom #totk #botw #loz link #breath of the wild #loz botw #botw totk #link legend of zelda #botw link #totk link #Can't believe we were all laughing about the Tony hawk fame and the whole time he was doing that on purpose #Makes the yiga even funnier that they all recognise him ON SIGHT. Sorry man you're clean out of luck there XD

Monument Mythos is really just like:

"Hey, y'all ever wonder what it would be like if George Washington was an interdimensional being that needed to be fed blood to keep him from hatching out of the Earth like an egg and the only way to stop him is for the atomized remains of 17 soldiers to not kill the Freedom Statue?"

And the answer was no, but God if I'm not now having an internal crisis over the fact that I could be a clone of myself created by Alcatraz Island who's only alive because this reality's psuedo-god decided to yell at James Dean and a journalist

#trying to talk about monument mythos is like trying to talk about a rapidly fading dream i had three hours ago after eating 25 edibles #which is to say nonsensical and completely insane #shout out to the Arnoldson family where did they even get all of that information #monument mythos
