I wanna ramble about how I interpret Aphrodite's early life for a bit. Based on what I know anyway since I'm making her new design right now-

I prefer the Ouranos birth (because it's cooler) and her relations to water both with mortals and her childhood (technically adulthood..?). I also like that Eros is already with her in the sea. Just her lil baby. Anyway, I know she's born a grown woman like Athena is, but for fun I like to think she rises to Olympus as a grown woman. Let me explain:

I still think she was born at least like a late teen/young woman versus Eros that starts off as a baby. She spends her early life just in the sea, eventually coming into contact with Nerites. Her first love that I think gave off the vibes of young/first love of high school sweethearts. I partly headcanon that she maybe acted as a minor water goddess before falling in love with Nerites, blooming into her major domains of love and beauty. Anyway, after Nerites refuses Aphrodite's offer to go to Olympus when summoned (and turns him into a shellfish- and give the wings she offers Eros-) that's when she emerges.

You'll also have to forgive me that I don't have any Erotes knowledge- trust me when I say that's like the next on my list

Anyway, as she joins Olympus, she is aligned with her attendants like the Charities that clothed her. The newly added goddess makes quick friends with the Charities, specifically Antheia (my hc that they are best friends-).

The whole thing with how Aphrodite married Hephaestus is such a mess of what could have verses what might have happened and it's too much of a headache for me to speak fully on. But I do think people make how they got together/their marriage much worse than it probably was, as I interpret it as a marriage just not working out -> lead to Aphrodite's infidelity -> net incident -> divorce -> both of them getting back at each other. Honestly for it to be apart of Hephaestus's myth more than hers (yet it takes over Hephaestus's whole story in recent times) is a lil sad to me.

Honestly, I think the most fun one is that Aphrodite's beauty causes wars between the gods. It just makes sense to me with her domains and shows just how strong she is from how much an effect she has on people. And so Zeus arranges her hand to be with Hephaestus to ward off the feuds. Though I can't find that version anywhere... to where I think it's just another telephone retelling (but if it isn't please let me know- because I am probably just blind fr)

I like to interpret that neither desired the other before their marriage, like they weren't on each other's radar for whatever the reason, though Hephaestus would be drawn by her beauty like any other before Zeus has them arranged. While Aphrodite maybe started having bits of interest in a few gods, like Ares, but not enough to marry any of them. I honestly don't think they had that bad of a marriage, just not an outstanding one. Maybe they both tried at first but just stopped putting as much effort (stopped as in mainly Aphrodite). I see it more like when a person just isn't interested, and that isn't a bad thing, while the other is trying to make it work, which also isn't bad. But Aphrodite started to indulge in the pleasure of other gods, gods that caught her eye before being married (like Dionysus, Ares, etc) which threw more wrenches in a collapsing marriage.

Honestly, I don't think Ares became more prominent in Aphrodite's eyes until the myth when he visits Hephaestus' forge and makes fun of Eros's spear while Aphrodite is also assisting Hephaestus in there. I think she'd end up laughing at Ares' struggle to lift the weapon, drawing his gaze to her -> losing focus -> maybe pricks himself with the spear? and falls in love with her

Then the affair, yadda yadda, net incident, reasonable anger, blah blah, they're both let out the chains and run away. That's as far as I plan to go as the rest of the myths can be placed about anywhere in whatever seems plausible. Aka I don't feel like doing it because there's no set timeline. (I guess her getting with Poseidon after the divorce? but other than that I'd say it doesn't matter, to me anyway).

I just felt the need to ramble how I think her early life went down for my own sake. Because I never write my thoughts down and then I forget them-

This may become a normal thing...... yeah.. yeah probably

#moon's rambles #greek mythology #aphrodite #please keep in mind this is headcanon based on the myths #and personal interpretation of course #honestly doing a rundown of how i see the gods' early lives are so fun-#more than how they are in their most consistent (like major myths or set stories like the trojan war)#like they arent in younger stages of themselves #im basically saying i like forming how they get to where they are at #jeez why is it so hard to put thoughts into coherent words-#should i tag the other gods...?#i suppose so..-#nerites #eros ii #i had no idea eros was a no-no tag thats so weird- i mean i think i get it but still?-#so im taking superscrubs because of primordial eros <3 #hephaestus #ares

(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)

#polls #tumblr polls #For me I think the top ones would be the House. The Money. or the Friend Group. But I ultimately might would go for the house #JUST becuase it would be my Dream House which means it would already meet mostly all of my specifications #and what I might be looking for. which would save a lot of time searching or customizing/rennovating.#Also because I could use that as a way to leave the US lol.. like .. if I get to choose my dream location.. couldnt I just choose some othe #country?? But I wonder how that works. Can you legally 100% have full ownership of a property in a country yet not be a citizen of that #country?? Would you show up and be like 'erm.. i own this house.. so i shall now live in it' and theyd be like 'uh no. you cant live here #despite owning the house. leave.' ??#So I think the initial process of 1. scraping together funds to actually MOVE myself and my most valuable belongings physically #TO another country. and 2. figuring out how to STAY in that country . might end up being difficult.. BUT. if I could just work that #part of things out then.. dream house?? security for once in my life?? stability?? :0 #Though the $1mil is enticing it's also like.. I feel .. with the way housing prices are now... that's not much???#it's a lot I guess if you plan on like.. investing half the money and staying in an apartment for 5 years while you grow your wealth #or something. but if you're a 'I Need Stability NOW' ready to settle down person who would be most interested in owning a property rather #than nice clothes or a car or whatever other investments you could make then.. eh..?? It seems like unless you're okay with living in #a small town or kind of far away from the city - even some SMALL houses in majorly populated areas in the US will be like #$600.000 - $900.000 or something. like that would be MOST of my money. Which I know you could just pay partially and make #payments on it but idk.. in the option of just outright owning the house it seems like it'd end up being cheaper.#Plus I would want to own it fully asap because I'd be afraid of losing it somehow otherwise. like it being taken for medical bills or #something. which I thought was supposed to be - not IMPOSSIBLE - slightly more complicated legally if you actually have #paid off the house in full. I guess the issue then would be utilities and property tax and such. But I feel like thats overcome-able??#Like I could just stipulate that my Dream House has a little furnished addition or something and then find someone #with money and be like 'Look you can live in this extremely nice area with amazing ameneties and updated everything and ALL you have #to do is give me money to cover the utilities and property tax.'' or something like that. Like the little furnished addition is nicer #than the actual house. they have their own pool and spa and movie room or something and Ill also cook all their meals for them #or whatever (how luxurious it would be depeneds on how high the property tax actually is/how much I would need to entice them into #why it's a good deal for them to pay it for me lol). idk... something like that.. ANYWAY #I asked a few people I know though and one of them answered they'd rather have a romantic partner. the other one said they'd like #to be able to choose someone to die lol.. So I'm curious what people value the most

He should be at the Adventurer's Guild.

#severance #seth milchick #mark s #helly r #dylan g #digital art #animation #This one is dedicated to my friend who truly was 'Born to be a DM; forced to be a Middle Manager'.#Mr. Milchick would have been an amazing DM. His passion for theatrics and storytelling is something to behold.#He's one of my favourite characters in severance. Antagonist perhaps but he's also so much more human than he first appears.#There is a guy underneath the professional mask who has a creative passion that his 9-5 turned 24/7 crushed!#Get him out of the (corporate) basement and put him into the (game room) basement!#That aside; this was supposed to be a little doodle to take a break from my animation project. And then I kept making it more elaborate.#Not sure where this new era of art is going but I'm having fun!

Thunder and rain. Sun and Storm.

Finally got the motivation (mostly) to color some of my story planning comics for TROD AU. Have some little guys and a little lore :)

#trod au #the rehabilitation of death #narilamb #cult of the lamb #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #doodles #i am aware that the flower on narinders head is switching places a lot but i am far too tired to go in and fix that #since this was supposed to be sketches anyway #still not happy with it cause i started this so long ago that it has old art style pieces of it i dont like #but it was nice to color

Watching Star Wars in chronological order is so funny.

Obi-Wan Kenobi really took one look at R2D2 in the middle of the desert and said “No, Luke, I’ve never seen this fucking droid in my life. Looks like a real bitch though. Not that I’d know. This is my first time meeting the asshole.”

No one in that whole franchise was Gatekeep-Gasslight-Girlbossing quite like “Ben” Kenobi, regular human-man.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #r2d2 #luke skywalker #More like Regular Human Cave Hermit I suppose #and R2 didn’t even rat him out???#I’m almost positive that there was a moment off-screen where R2 and Obi-Wan were alone in the cave hovel #just absolutely glaring at each other silently while Luke was using the rest room or something #R2 probably whirled around that cave bitchily #like Danm bitch #you live like this?#so uncivilized #and Obi-Wan was like #actually I think I WILL go save Leia #but only so I can drop this useless bucket of bolts on Anakin Skywalkers fucking doorstep and dissapear into the force forever #Honestly #the real plot of A New Hope was Obi-Wan desperately trying to get rid of the world’s bitchiest R2 unit #that somehow managed to find him again after decades #R2 found where he was hiding and Obi-Wan was like:#Guess I’ll die then.

☆ six hairstyles!!!!1! (no idea what to title this) ☆

a bit random, but i guess the common theme here is micro bangs. suitable for your vampires and darkly-inclined simmies (or whoever really). most of these were wips from last year and the way i make hairs has changed a bit since, but thought i'd still share them.

unedited CAS screenshots and more info under the cut.

BGC

feminine frame

24 EA swatches + 17 extras

teen-elder

hat compatible

all LODS, all maps

TOU

✧‧₊˚ DOWNLOAD: Patreon (FREE) | SFS ‧₊˚✧

thank you so much for the support <3 if there are any issues, please lmk

still not sure if i like render previews so i included CAS pics anyway. renders are nice looking but they don’t accurately preview how CC looks in-game and they can take a long time, at least on my PC still running on 2017 hardware. my GPU is decent but everything else, not so much. anyway...

Maila 🦇 (7377 polys)

named after Maila Nurmi aka Vampira, this is a Chelsea cut with v-shaped bangs and pigtails. this was actually a request i did last year based on someone's OC. idk if they have a Tumblr, but shoutout to them anyway <3

Rosario 📿 (16625 polys)

another older one. i'm thinking about making this unisex but i'm so dejected rn i don't feel like opening Blender for a bit (someday tho). it's not locked to fem frames but it will clip with the neck when put on masc frames.

Odette ⚰ (15485 polys)

based on this one hairstyle i saw on Pinterest, i can't find it for some reason even though i made this fairly recently.

Lucinda ☀ (19814 polys)

wavy jellyfish cut, this is the most recent one i made. it’s for an OC of mine and it's probably my favorite out of all these. maybe.

Yesenia 🕷 (10869 polys)

just a little edit of the L&D updo, nothing too special. made this when the pack just came out. i could’ve done more with it and added more strands because i like to suffer but it’s fine.
