Death approaches.

Thanatos (Hades) x Kindred (League of Legends) crossover!

Ramblings on the piece below the cut!!

I'm really happy with the colors I used for this one this time. I've been trying to keep things cohesive, and putting a purple/grey wash on all the colors I used really helped to keep things visually together.

The one thing I was really experimenting with this time was composition, as I'm really not confident in structuring my pieces. Ultimately I'm not super satisfied with it, but I am nothing if not a chronic sufferer of sunk cost fallacy.

I'm thinking of making Kindred in Hades as a companion piece, but we'll see!

If you read this far, thank you!! And would you be interested in this as a print? I'm trying to get into vending my art and it would be nice to know ^^

what were the sexual abuse themes in hadestown?

there's a lot to be said about the general presentation of romantic love as binding and shackling and possessive, but the most explicit parts are in the "why we build the wall" outro when hades brings eurydice into his office alone:

and when eurydice talks about hades in "flowers":

hadestown uses a lot of metaphor and coding to bring greek myth into a more contemporary world: the underworld is figured as a mining town, the road to hell is a train, the river styx is a fortress-like wall, etc., and here death and exploitative/coercive contracts are figured as exploitative/coercive sex.

to give it as fair a shake as possible, you can't just say "hades raped eurydice" in the same way you can't just say "eurydice didn't die, she got on a train" because those are both mundane approximate analogues for mythic events, but come oooon guys. "I trembled when he laid me out / 'you won't feel a thing,' he said 'when you go down'" we both know what that is very clearly meant to sound like, they don't call it la petite mort for no reason. "omg the flower imagery is just about funeral flowers stop reading so much into it" so I guess the millennia of using flowers to symbolize women's sexuality in art across the damn globe are completely irrelevant. sorry my bad.

It still disappoints me that the Sailor Senshi in their Princess forms don't have unique Princess names like Princess Serenity does. Yes, I get that Usagi is the protagonist which is why she has a unique name when she becomes Princess Serenity. But still, I think it should be fair that all the other Senshi have unique names in their Princess forms too, not just Usagi only.

I agree! Many years ago I actually brainstormed some unique names for the Princesses. Here they are again:

Princess Mercury -> Princess Marina (Named after the Mariner probes sent to Mercury, as well as “marine”, meaning “related to the sea.” Although this may be better suited for Neptune, the sea is still water) 

Princess Mars -> Princess Bellona (Bellona was the Roman goddess of war and, in some accounts, the wife of the god Mars)

Princess Jupiter -> Princess Astrape (the Greek goddess of lightning and thunder)

Princess Venus -> Princess Harmonia (The daughter of Ares and Aphrodite [Mars and Venus], personification of the love that unites all people and of harmony)

Princess Pluto -> Princess Persephone (Persephone was the wife of Hades, god of the underworld. After being kidnapped by Hades and made to be his bride, she became queen of the underworld.)

Princess Uranus -> Princess Celia (The meaning of “Celia” is “heaven”)

Princess Neptune -> Princess Narissa (meaning of the name is “sea nymph”)

Princess Saturn -> Princess Morgana (I chose it because it because it reminds me of the Latin root word “mort,” meaning “death.” Morgana is Welsh in origin and means “Great Circle.” It fits in PERFECTLY with Saturn’s “death and rebirth” theme, as birth, death, and rebirth go around in a never ending circle.)
