one of the things about Orin that fascinates me is how she definitely is a dedicated bhaalist, but not nearly as dedicated to bhaal and how that's shown in a bunch of little (many unintentional) ways! her outfit being red instead of the traditional bhaalist black (or that weird bronze/gold some bhaalist armor gets), her title of the Red given to her not by bhaal nor fellow bhaalists, but by her cognate doppelgangers, the jewelry she shares with her mother but is worn by no other bhaalists, etc.
even before she says "I did all this for [Sarevok]!" and finding her Helena's corpse in Orin's room even after her mother attempted to kill her, a fact which she is clearly and justifiably caught up in, you can still see the breadcrumbs leading to the fact she is primarily driven by her more direct familial connections instead of her god

A Dream of Spring Headcanon
You have a wildness in you, Rickon. 'The wolf blood,' grandfather used to call it. Aunt Lyanna had a touch of it, and Uncle Brandon more than a touch. It brought them both to an early grave. Father said I inherited it too and so have you.
"Let me tell you something about wolves, brother. When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Summer is the time for squabbles. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths. So if you must hate, Rickon, hate those who would truly do us harm.
"First lesson," Arya said. "Stick them with the pointy end."
I would really love it if Arya used all the lessons she was taught in AGOT to help Rickon out in the future. I think he will have the hardest time fitting in with the family. They will all have changed but he was so young when they all saw him last and it’s been years since he saw them and he may not even remember them fully either.

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that
I beg to please you
If I told you that
I'll always keep you
What would you say
If I told you that?
...
We were friends, but with time
What I feel, deep inside
For you (For you) has changed (Has changed)
...

I've really gotten into Epic the Musical lately, which is an adaptation of the Odyssey, and it reminded me of how much Helen of Sparta sucks (in my personal opinion).
With a title like that, you would expect it to tell Helen's interpretation of the events of the Trojan war. Her kidnapping, what she thought of Paris, her eventual rescue, how she feels about her circumstances.
But it has nothing to do with that story???
Instead, they make it a story of Helen, Achilles and Apollo for SOME REASON going on an adventure to stop some assasination attempt against Helen????? And in the meantime, some sort of love triangle is created, again, for some reason????? You have THE ENTIRETY OF THE TROJAN WAR to play with for a story. 10 years of legendary history. Helen is basically a blank slate for you to work with as a writer. And yet you decide to scrap that and create a random nonsensical story out of thin air. And make both love interests entirely unappealing personality wise, by the way.
I dunno, man, Helen of Sparta feels like such a waste of time and resources, for a concept that sounds so cool on paper. Like, Helen is usually referred to as Helen of TROY, the place to which she was taken and kidnapped to. Helen of SPARTA implies strength. Helen stepping out of her role as damsel in distress to take the reigns of her future in her hands. But instead, Helen is treated as a doll with no agency, way too naive to be going around with a god and an adult man who both simp and fight over her like toddlers.
I am legitimately considering making a Visual Novel myself as an interpretation of how the story could've gone, because across the MANY texts that cover the story of the trojan war (fun fact, the iliad is just the chapter focused on achilles of a much larger story distributed in many texts), very few ones actually give us insight on how Helen would've felt during her capture. The focus is on the warriors, which yes is very interesting, but idk. It could be cool to see a sort of "Odyssey" of Helen, if you get what I mean.

Getting there, I swear! This has already gone through soooo much editing.
It's just that I had to briefly return to my toil in the buff lady body texture mines now that the toolset is out...
I love it so much. It simplifies things to such an absurd degree. And playing around with colours is so delightfully easy.
So many new shades of gold for me to try out and stare at.

here is a moodboard I made based on the fact that I feel like there should be more water themeing in padmé’s costumes
naboo is a world with a water core, with an amphibious indigenous species, and actual sea monsters! padmé deserves to dress like a sea queen!
