But these are all the minors, majors, etc 👍

My characters as creatures from Greek mythology

the other gorgon sisters are underutilized in modern storytelling

uh.. that being said ;-;

EURYALE!! genuinely love how her silhouette turned out, especially with the hair, plus i thought the downturned eyes and constant tears would be a good way to symbolize the fact that she's known for her cries (especially after medusa's death)

also I'll be tagging this story/cast of characters as Achernautica for now; it's a stand-in name but I think it works since Lyracles goes through the Acheron on his katabasis and they said to get there and also Acher looks like Archer which symbolizes Apollo and by extension his son who's the mc OK I'M DONE RAMBLING BAIIII

following a terrible but also kind of funny accident with the greek mythology language modules, Prometheus keeps getting his lover nibbled by hedgehogs

I’m trying to learn how to use gradient maps to color things, since I mostly prefer working in black and white. I can’t think of a concise way to explain Hero’s relationship with the king

Irish Spring and Ugly Babies

On the sixth day of the eighth month of the most high and greatly exalted rodent god, an ugly baby sneezed. This was the gravest insult anything, from the moon to the tiniest dust mote, could ever produce. And so the baby had to be punished in the gravest way possible—via Irish Spring body soap and goldfish.

The baby was in a stroller in a busy street, so, to accomplish his punishment, the most high and greatly exalted rodent god sent his chosen fish springing out of a sewer drain, and in front of the stroller. It promptly vomited a spiral of Irish Spring on the baby’s ugly face.

It started to rain, the earth quacked, and Zeus appeared in all his glory. The ugly baby, now clean, was revealed to be Gandhi. Zeus gave Gandhi a sidelong look and disappeared.

The rodent king/god was confused, so confused, that he sprayed himself with Irish Spring. Zeus flew from the skies in all his glory, and the most high and greatly rodent king felt deep affection for Zeus, and gave him his special sticky notes. And they relished in their love. And from this we shall learn that all humans should buy Irish Spring soap so that they might earn the favor of the extraneous deities.

Js woke up from my mid-afternoon nap and had a spontaneous realization. Sylus can't die until MC kills him, right? So Sylus is able to cheat death countless times.

Enter reader (you) who is the goddess of death, kinda the female version of Thanatos. You're getting that one disappointed look from Hades after he's finished reading the list of how many times Sylus Qin has escaped death.

The king of the underworld makes it a clear point that if within six months Sylus isn't in the realm, you'll have a successor.

So now you're chasing said man with your two minions in tow (kinda like Pain and Panic from Hercules 1997)

Your plan is simple: get MC to kill Sylus which would be a pain in the butt considering they share half the soul or whatever.

Sylus' plan is quite simple, too: evoke empathy, sincerity, and love inside you for him and dispose of you when he's sure you're too crestfallen to even think about him. How do you make an immortal goddess fall in love with you again?

Your plan isn't going well because MC is unwilling to co-operate because she believes that people can change and Sylus would too (Pre-meeting Sylus) And Sylus' plan isn't going well either because apparently you're head over heels for your boss, the God of the Dead.

Luke and Kieran are happy that they've stuck around long enough to find out who could actually end their boss-man's life and your minions are happy that they'll finally be able to see you less angry when Sylus is gone.

Mephisto and Cerberus just don't get along.

Add in some extra characters like Kore (Persephone before she became queen), Rafayel (there are two gods now and he demands a face-off), The Fates (because duh who'd do the prophecy shit otherwise) and etc. Pure magic.

An unjust but inevitable death, a fall from the ranks and an enmity that gives way to reluctant infatuation.

Marvelous. I'll start writing this now.

Yeah you know what, Minos and Pasiphaë were cowards.

I would've loved my half bull half human baby. I would've raised him with love. I would've called him darling Asterion. I wouldn't have cared what people thought.

So as I am writing Saint and while doing some looking into Kitsune folklore I came across the legend of Tamamo-no-Mae.

Tamamo-no-Mae was a nine tailed fox who seduced an Emperor and made him deathly ill before being found out and driven out of the palace. That is the bare bones of the myth and there is most likely more context to it. It is also believed that Tamamo-no-Mae was also related to two other incidents with royalty in both China and India.

As I was reading about it my brain went, Kitsune!Suguru would do that for fun. Now all I can think about is Suguru just messing with multiple countries for fun before meeting Saint!Reader.
