life is hectic right now but i’m considering being back here. thoughts?

[atlasci]

i made team WTCH charms!!!

THESE ARE WATERMARKED BECAUSE THEY ARE FOR PURCHASE!!!!!!

because i don’t know how much demand these guys might be, these are gonna be made-to-order until or if demand grows. that does mean they’ll be a little more expensive (about $20 USD) to order them one by one instead of in bulk, sorry!!!! if demand gets higher, the price gets lower!

sooooo if you wanna buy one of them, send me a message here or email me at atlas.adam23@gmail.com!!

im thinking about the god au again. you know how in myths, a lot of stuff has variations??? yeah well here’s some for arthur

arthur is depicted both as a serpent with an endless tail, and a leech with an endless tail. his teeth and colors change appropriately for these variations

when depicted as a leech, arthur’s main allusions focus more on how he steal and takes from other people, rather than tricking them. the legend goes that he stole power from the gods instead of swindling them out of it

arthur is sometimes depicted simply as a giant serpent/leech without the human-looking part added to it

after the story of the swan (@cygns​) and the serpent surfaced, some people began depicting him with black swan wings or burnt feathers

history can’t seem to make up its mind as to whether arthur’s eyes were green or blue, but either way they are always descriped as being hypnotizing and intensely bright

thorns being one of his nature symbols has a few different stories to it. some people say that he was bound with thorns by ozpin when he was cast down, and thornbushes grew up around him. other people say that his anger and sadness was so strong that his cries were laced with magic that would twist the nature around him into thorns

because offering meat, living or dead, to him is one of the most widely-known ways to give offering, arthur is also called “the butcher god” in some tales

some people say that it’s bad luck to have an apple tree at your home, because apples are one of his symbols and they could draw his curse to your family. others grow apples on purpose to please him and show him that they honor him but want no part in his wickedness, as protection. this varies from region to region

in the story of the serpent and the swan, some people tell it that arthur went with odet back to the heavens and stayed in her home while she prepared the wedding, but he was dragged out and sent back to earth by james. in this version, most people say that odet was no present when this happened, and the gods worked together to distract her as they knew her mercy would foil their plans to send arthur back

history also can’t seem to decide if arthur and ozpin were lovers or if they were master and student before he was cast down. there is a classic painting of the two of them created in the impressionist era called “the lesson” that depicts the two of them sitting by a small lake on top of mossy rocks. ozpin is reading from a book to arthur, who is surrounded by supplies to take notes with, though he is draped across the rocks with his cheek propped up on his hand as he looks up at ozpin. art historians have argued for years over whether this is meant to be admiration or pining

when the black queen, also know as salem, is depicted, she wears a crown. many people depict this crown as a living serpent from which the metal grows. arthur’s symbols show up quite a bit in her imagery, sometimes with a serpent around her neck, sometimes draped in emeralds, sometimes among a bed of yellow chrysanthemums. no one has ever been able to agree on what his importance is to her

a letter of condolences from atlas internal affairs, addressed to general james ironwood @metalurgic​

an angry letter for @metalurgic​

transcription under the cut for arthur’s godawful handwriting

You know, James, I have always admired you. Your drive, your passion, your determination. But you've shown over the last decade and change that you and I simply do not work together, no matter how badly we may wish otherwise. I should correct myself. No matter how badly I had wished otherwise. You made it abundantly clear that your tolerance of me was superficial.

I look back on what we had now and I wonder just how much of it was real. Did you ever love me? Was I ever anything more to you than a soldier under your command? It certainly felt like the “love” was a lie, especially when things started to drag on like that. Perhaps I was the stupid one for staying as long as I did, but you were cruel for toying with me.

I hope you find this. I didn't write it with that intention, but all things considered, I think it's appropriate you read it. Maybe you'll hate me more, maybe you'll try harder. I'm not sure. Frankly, I don't think I care anymore.

You had better not toy with Odet the way you did with me. You and I both know she's leagues better than either of us. A single tear shed at your hands is a single tear too many.

          “what was it like when you were ‘born’ as a robot?”

     arthur has to keep himself from laughing at how strangely james decides to word it. it sounds so silly, so unscientific. he does chance a small smile before he continues though. “it was... painful. the worst pain i’ve ever felt. and then very disorienting.” he says.

          “to pull your soul from your body... it’s a pain that can’t be described with words, i think. it feels like tearing strings away from fabrics that aren’t meant to be ripped. your body fights it. your mind can’t process it. it’s suffocating...” he’s sure that his voice went out at some point from the screaming, like his body had simply run out of it. “and then... waking up.”

     arthur looks off in the distance as he thinks, recalling quite possibly the most peculiar experience of his life. “everything is clearer. as if you’re viewing the world in high definition. brighter colors and sharper edges. feeling is... wrong. for a moment, it’s like your whole body is static, and then it’s all so sensitive, like your skin’s been peeled back another layer. your legs don’t work well yet, your arms don’t listen to you yet, and you’re freezing cold. you feel like you’re choking but you don’t even need to breathe.”

im just. thinkin about arthur constantly longing for the body he doesnt have anymore, mourning the loss of a humanity he never thought he would miss. wanting, aching, needing to be real again.

           “you feel... warmer... than i thought you would.”

          “i--yes, that’s the idea.” arthur says, looking a bit bewildered by the question. “i can’t operate at the same temperature that organic bodies can, that would cause my systems to overheat. typically, my core temperature is around eighty degrees fahrenheit--”
