A red flag whenever I'm talking to someone about a story is if they think the thesis said story is trying to tell you comes from the villain/antagonist. Like, you know the villain is the...person that is wrong, right? The story very intentionally wants you to disagree with the villain , they are the counterpoint.

If someone where to look at them at the moment it'd probably be such a surreal experience, two women in the middle of a mountian of ashes and bodies, one half burnt and barely awake, while the other was licking her all over in a mix of saliva and golden blood.

" Well I won't woww youw wike thwat if youw wont wowwy me wike thwis!" The sniper countered in a playful tone. Gods above the blood felt better than any healing salve, and she could feel her legs shivering and giving way as she was picked up, so she sighed and rested her head against her chest, adrenaline dying down and feeling very tired and sore all of the sudden.

"Hey Oba? I love you, ok?" Kisses her gently. "So...we can both worry about it each other."

Chiasa, now back to her normal form, couldn't help herself in picking the other woman up and check her for burns - the sharpshooter wasn't looking great. Thankfully she was now cool enough to cause more trouble.

"Caiti..." She wanted to ask her not to do that again: but she also knows that it wouldn't really sway her from her behaviours, regardless of how dangerous it was.

So as some form of apology, and to hopefully keep the burns from scarring over, she would bite her own tounge: licking over the wounds to cover it with her gold-flecked blood.

"Ya cwant wowwy me wike thwat"

"And I know you don't, but that's what friendships are for. You'd do the same for me" As the Kami becomes smaller Cait stands on her tip toes and kisses her gently on the lips, even if that place is still hotter than usual. It seemed as if the Kami had regained enough of her composure to let go with one arm, which proceeded to boop the snoot.

"There's my Oba~" Smiles broadly again.

"...But I don't want to burn you to bone marrow." She whined gently, seeming to continue to die down the blazing fire she had. Her extra paws shrunk down to dissapearance, extra tails as well - as she shrunk from 10 feet to a more managle 7 and a half.

"Nana...H-Hachi...Kyu..juuu~" She tried to replicate the playfullness just a bit at the end: seeming to get most of control for herself now: although the tips of her hair were still embers.

Indeed, I am burning, and people are dead. Problems for later, though thankfully it seemed it was just the attackers who were dead...and as for the fire...

"Oh, Oba...I'd burn to the marrow of my bones a hundred times over if it meant being there for you when you need me" She gave a gentle kiss to the woman's chest, causing a gentle sizzling, though she noted with some relief the fur was now simply warm.

"Nana! Hachi! Kyu! Juu!" She puts a bit more playfulness in her voice to further soothe her.

"b-bwut ya burning...p-pweople are dead..."

She would probably chastise her stubbornness: if not for half her brain being broiled in a feral fury, and the other half fighting tooth and nail to push that back to stop burning the woman that sparked the whole thing to begin with.

"N-Ni....S-San....Yon....Go-Goh...Roku..."

Each deep breath, each count, seemed to dim the fury a little further: reduce her scorching heat litlte by little, as the air around them cooled down, and the fur stopped burning her skin.

[piltover-sharpshooter]

"Hey hey, none of that, alright?" She squeezed tighter, knowing full well that if the Kami wanted to she could pry her hands away, but also confident she'd not try to use her strenght while she was still raging. The fact that she could start forming words and was being more coherent meant that it was working, and Caitlyn would be damned if she'd let something as second degree burns get in the way.

"I'm here, alright? In pleasure and pain, good and bad times..." She reaches up to caress a cheek, a tear burning her thumb which she ignored with some effort. "Count with me, alright? Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go, Roku..."

It was supposed to be just a regular walk through the city, her Oba accompanying her on one of her patrols just to talk, before they had been attacked. Caitlyn couldn't remember who or why, at this point she didn't care, all that she cared about was that she had been knocked out, and when she awoke Chiasa was like that.

"I know dear...I know..." She looked up to her Oba, face half burnt after pressing a cheek against her chest, hair singed or gone, shivering slightly and with a few tears. The pain wouldn't matter, she could fix the pain. What mattered was her.

She gave the biggest smile she could.

"Sumimasen, Oba. I shouldn't have made you worry"

[piltover-sharpshooter]

My muse: "Hmm, I'm not feeling it lately, don't wanna do anything" Also my muse: "Oh shit angst? I can do angst"

Caitlyn hugs the Kami 'monster form' from the front, even after taking a fire resistance potion, she can feel her flesh begin to sizzle, but she refuses to let go. "It's okay Oba...it's okay...I'm here..."

She can't remember what set her off: it was a haze of red and orange, blood and rubble and fire. the city block was reduced to blazing ruins. It was through the putrid air of smoke and burning bodies that a new scent caught something in her brain....a familiar perfume. One that she gifted her.

cait....lyn? nonono...not her! not her!

First was barking and growling, body larger than life and blazing in an attempt to scare her off.. yet she was still taking steps back. Her flames recoiled from her presence, as if terrified of even licking her skin.

As she felt arms around her massive form, the monster still tried to recoil, to push away - before collapsing into her arms, the heat dying out as she started to sob in whines, trying to form her name in the puppy howls.

"..rairi....rairii"...

Sorry I've been a bit afk, you know how the ebb and flow of muse inspirations are. If we are mutuals you can ask for my discord, my muses can wake up for a few short sentences there.

[piltover-sharpshooter]

It will never not be funny to me that Lillia is from Fantasy Asia but her accent is Scottish. Like, yes, I understand why that was done, Irish and Scottish accents are often associated with Faes and Fairies, and she's a spirit so she doesn't need to abide to the rules of the region but...

It's just so funny that the rest of the champs are talking about balance, or spirits, or talking in fake asian words and then there's Lillia going "Gonnae no’ dae that!"

what is a epithet?

Oh boy I get to be a nerd about ancient greek gods!

Ok so, because that culture is long since gone we assume that everyone must have worshipped all the gods equally and at the same time, but aside from a few exceptions like Zeus, people worshipped the god that suited/benefited them. Unless you are a hunter or it's her festival, you probably won't give that much attention to Artemis, if you are a Smith you pray to Hephaestus.

Not only that, if you google them on wikipedia, you'll see that one god can represent a ton of different things at the same time. That's where the Epithet's come in, they are titles before or after the God that denote what specific facet of them you wish to worship.

Example, Athena. Depending on the Epithet it could be:

Pallas Athena.

Athena Promachos

Athena Hippia

Athena Glaukopis

Athena Parthenos

And many MANY more. Each with their own specification as to why you are praying to her specifically.

So yeah! The Epithet is essentially the title of a specific god, often used to denote which version or aspect of the god was being worship.

Something I really like about this design for Aphrodite in Hades 2 is that it seems to be inspired by the Aphrodite Areia version of herself, aka "Aphrodite the Warlike".

Greek gods had Epithet's attached, usually to show different facet's of the gods, and what they were worshiped. Aphrodite was considered exclusively a love goddess, except for Kythera and (You guessed it) Sparta, where she's also a war goddess.

I specially love the touch of the white streak over her eyes, just like how Hades' version of Ares has one, which also works as a wink to their relationship.

Hecate,, godess of magic, having a six pack and two giant torches so she can go 'I'LL BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH THEM' is such a powermove. God I missed Hades.

Hades 2 will make my Pansexual ass go FERAL.

Cusps her cheeks.

"I look into the universe whenever I look at you" Smooches.

"I love pets, and animals in general, but it often feels like they are staring through me and gazing into the universe"
