To Lady Artemis for Elaphebolia!
I'm a bit late to the show, but im here
Traditionally, you would set out deer shaped cakes for the sharp shooting Goddess, but perhaps my music will do to play while you eat!

I'll be sure to play you to sleep sometime
- Guest
We've kind of known for a while now, but there is definitely a child in our system- We've kind of been doubting it because we don't really know too much about them. Sometimes they'll just... show up
They seem very enamoured and comforted by our boyfriend playing his lyre. I think they're upset that we can't cuddle up to him while he plays and fall asleep there because we're sick hhdh
They're sleepy right now

I love telling people I play the lyre because
1. They have no fucking clue what that is
2. They think I enjoy spouting falsehoods
3. I get to gush about its history and how cool it is
#came out as a lyre player to my coworker#she asked for a new years resolution and I said practice the lyre more (once a week is NOT enough but I am a busy man)#and she’s like ‘??? you’re gonna lie to people?????’#it was quite funny#I’m orpheus but they think I’m odysseus#lyre#lyre harp#lyreposting

I miss this being just this little private moment between them, that almost bookwise went unchanged, but was allowed to feel so much more intimate, almost feeling like it's compressed time, maybe a day weeks, doesn't matter, into the two minutes it's needed to understand who they are and why they work as perfectly as they are doomed by the narrative.

(and because I need to include it.)
#it's always the small scenes that break my heart to go back to I swear......#'who are you' 'the man who's gonna marry you. I'm orpheus' 'who am I? Eurydice...' in terms of myth anything else is bonus.#And if Anais every thought of removing 'Well I also play the lyre' 'A liar? And a player too...I've met too many men like you.'#I'd riot.#Whaaa indeed.#....I'm still mad the y didn't film the oriignal west end cast.

MUSIC!
Hello!! I just wanted to come say that I play music a lot, and have been releasing under the artist name of Fiádh! I make a mix of very European style pagan folk and more Appalachian style bluegrass!! I do everything myself and I just wanted to come here and say I HAVE AN ALBUM/EP COMING OUT SOON! It should be releasing on May 10th!! I’m very happy with how it turned out! It contains 3 full length original songs, a cover of a traditional Appalachian song called The Maid Freed From the Gallows, and an intro and interlude! I also have other songs out now, including Raven’s Feast which just released!!! I use it to portray folklore and protest societal injustices. If any of that appeals to you, I would love if yall would check it out. ❤️

The fun thing about greek mythology is there are SO many gods and a good 3/4th of them are only mentioned once and we know like nothing about apart from names so a fun little thing to do is just use random deities and base your dnd characters on them.
Anyway in other news here is my new gal
#Lyre like Liar ahahahaha im so clever and funny get it because shes a spy ahaha#DnD#Player Character#OC: Pasithea Lyre#art#digital art#oc art#my art

How would he be recruited as a companion???
He appears mid-dialogue skill check while talking to the bandits outside Wither's Temple, casting a quick bardic inspiration before rolling and if failing becoming an ally in the fight.
If immediately going into the fight, his first round will always similiarly be, to prove his usefulness, a bardic inspiration on the avatar character before anything else.
He can be seen watching the bandits trying to get into Withers temple from above though before initiating that dialogue (probably would take sneaking) will brush off and silently nudge his head over to what's happening below.
Following either introduces himself, with as little information as possible admittedly. Though if refused once starts giving a bit more about how off the situation is and some of his skills, to avoid being left as vulnerable as he'd be on his own, just wanting to get back home quickly as possible.
If refused completely unlike most rejected companions who go to The Grove is found at The Goblin camp, having switched from crop top and vest duster to the full version of the drow armour he can also get when doing the Goblin raid. He's noting more and more that just doesn't quite feel right about everything. He's far less trying to be nice the second time, but still would rather you, and however you're staying yourselves than here, but safest bet he had.
If has to be kept to one spot instead of roaming, with Dzor Ragzlin watching the failed attempts at speak with dead, amused until player intervention. Offers to do it, assist, or bow out. (Much more unfriendly if Minthara is dead. but still will join up just at the edge of leaving from approval the moment he joins :p)
(Still has normal starting armour in his inventory. Though the hair shift of having it pulled back stays until teifling party if recruited on a good route. )
and yes, to keep a plot relevant multiclass, starts at level two, level 1 being an aberrant mind sorcerer level and 2 defaulting to bard.
#Companion AU#it's the only way I can think to basically require the player to note the multiclass. On easy sticks to Sorcerer. Yet has a lyre and npc#ability for bardic inspo :p#Ilztaun Auvryvirr#...trying so hard to not be left behind.....#colder yet more desperate when met later. Points out everything that feel like something non-illithid is involved.#if asked shrugs it off as ehh wouldn't be the first time. (and not wrong! Or off for a Drow/Drow Noble to know! )

Generally, this is me
I've worked under Apollo for 6 years now, he's trained me in light working, helped me refine my divination, pushed me to study and practice advanced reiki, taught me how to play my lyre, and has been the closest friend I've ever had. I'm a Pisces sun so it's been very magical for me to be whisked away into a spiritual world of art and divination. I adore my work and put my heart and soul into it.
My Music Is For...
Hellenic Pagans are my main audience as the majority of my music is festival music or tunes honoring/offerings to the Theoi. My music may also heal and regenerate, depending on the tune and what enchantment I've used or what I am channeling into my music. my songs have a variety of effects and uses which are labeled here. (as well as information on how to allow my music to fully work) it is ultimately for whoever is willing to believe and or accept it, be it for the healing, for the gods, or for just some simple time alone with your thoughts. I hope my music encourages you to take a moment for yourself or the gods and just be.

wait crazy development...ive sort of started to understand how the notes on the fretboard line up now bc ive been playing lyre and thats all individual notes. you can do chords too but im still figuring out the actual like science behind it idk i just do it LOL
#its not even playing the lyre its tuning the lyre...#cause i used a diff tuner thats chromatic (?) so its like out some sharps and flats#so i can see that theres like gaps between the notes#and ive accepted that fact so now when i look at a guitar fretboard chart im like hmmm yes there are gaps between the notes...#i couldnt tell you why but i can understand that its There so now i think ill be able to memorize the fretboard#esp cause i can see that e and f / b and c are always grouped together and everything else is spaced#omggggg#now i just need to understand how making chords work so i can do other variations and be a cool guitar player

A fun question I saw in another IF blog and now I'm very curious and asking my fav authors: if this was a video game, what would the main characters idle animations be?
Romanus would vary depending on their personality, but all of them would be clenching and unclenching their gloved hand from time to time. High corruption would have Romanus digging the thumb of their opposite hand into the mark.
Hadrian would touch his cross and scratch his stubble.
Alessa would shift her weight from foot to foot, hands occasionally brushing along her many hidden knives.
Alain would materialize a glass of wine from thin air, taking slow, indulgent sips. He would also adjust his clothes, picking off non-existent specks of dust from his expensive coat.
Ysabella's curls would bounce from an invisible breeze, rustling the lighter layers of her heavy skirts. A rare animation would be her looking startled, eyes bouncing around as if she had heard soft footpads behind her back.
The Pirate would flick his thumbs over the golden handles of his axes, shooting out from his heavy belt, in the form of two naked women. He'd also be playing with the rings on his fingers or the band in his beard while taking a drag of his old, worn-out pipe.
Neia would be still, almost unnaturally so. Yellow eyes stalking the surroundings like a predator does prey. She'd slung her heavy, broken sword over her shoulder, scar twisting in a snarl.
Lance would, of course, pull out his lyre, gold tooth flashing as he plucks the strings, blue hair gently brushing across his jaw. He'd also squat down to pat Chouriça from time to time.
Vallen would lace her hands together, stretching her arms over her head or down below, one leg bending slightly with a big, eager smile on her heart-shaped face. She'd also, very rarely, be looking directly into the camera.
Rafael would be hunched over, hood thrown over his head, face hiding from the player. You'd glide the camera around, and Borja, as if on purpose, would move in tandem, keeping his back to you. He'd also twirl coins over his knuckles, or lockpicks, or very slim, sharp needles.

Ukrainian kobza and wheel lyre tradition has been included in UNESCO's Register of Good Safeguarding Practices! It is the first time a Ukrainian nomination has been included in this register, representing a great step forward in preserving national identity & promoting Ukrainian culture. —MFA Ukraine
The Kobzar-Lirnyk tradition is an integral part of Ukraine's musical and verbal heritage. In the past, it was performed by travelling blind singers and musicians – kobzars, lirnyks, and bandura players – and today, it is being revived by contemporary singers and instrumentalists. —Ukrainska Pravda

Orpheus & Eurydice || Steve & Bucky
Moodboard for the @wintershieldbingo
Square: Mythology AU ✔️
I've always felt that the story of Steve and Bucky, particularly as told in Captain America: The First Avenger, had a lot in common with the Ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. For that reason, I have chosen to fill the Mythology AU square on my Wintershield Bingo card by creating a moodboard to draw narrative and visuals parallels between these two tragic love stories.
Orpheus & Eurydice
Orpheus was an artist, the greatest lyre player in the world, who was happily married to the love of his life, the beautiful Eurydice. Their happy life together gets cut short, however, when Eurydice is bitten by a viper and dies, leaving a heartbroken Orpheus behind. Orpheus cannot accept his true love’s death, and so he travels to the Underworld on a quest to get Eurydice back.
Orpheus manages to overcome various hurdles, such as getting past Cerberus, the three-headed hound who guards the gates to the Underworld, and finally pleads with Hades, the king of the Underworld to let Eurydice live again. Hades allows this on one condition: Eurydice is to follow behind Orpheus while walking out of the darkness of the Underworld towards the light of the land of the living, but Orpheus should not turn to look at her before she is fully out in the light again. However, as they begin to ascend towards the land of the living, Orpheus, afraid that his lover is no longer behind him, looks back to make sure she is following, causing Eurydice to tragically fall back into the shadows and be trapped in the Underworld once more.
Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes
Steve and Bucky are very close friends and most likely even lovers, who live a mostly happy life together in Brooklyn. When World War II breaks out, Bucky is drafted and joins the army, while Steve stays behind in New York. In Italy, Bucky's squad is taken by the enemy, and he is kept prisoner in a dark, abandoned factory housing the lab of Hydra (incidentally also a multi-headed beast from Greek mythology).
When Steve, who received a superserum which turned him into the world's greatest soldier (as well as an artist), eventually also joins the army and gets to Italy, he is told Bucky is most likely dead. Steve point blank refuses to accept that, and embarks on a one man rescue mission - a quest, if you will - to get Bucky back. Armed with a wooden shield, the shape of which bears a similarity to a lyre, overcomes numerous obstacles, fighting Hydra goons and even Red Skull, who looks like the devil incarnate. Steve manages to free Bucky and even jumps over what strongly resembles the fiery pits of hell to get to freedom, only to lose Bucky again a short while later, when Bucky tragically falls from a train and is subsumed once more into the Underworld, i.e. Hydra’s claws.
Aside from the many narrative parallels, many visual parallels also exist between depictions of Orpheus and Eurydice in classical art and various scenes and images in CA:TFA. The moodboard above attempts to illustrate these parallels and similarities.
#stucky#stevebucky#steve rogers#bucky barnes#wintershield#wintershield bingo#orpheus#eurydice#orpheus and eurydice#ancient greece#mythology#greek mythology#mythology au#ca:tfa#captain america#captain america: the first avenger#I'm going to try and mostly write fic for the rest of my squares#but I wanted to start myself off gently because writing has been a bit tricky for me lately#and I've always loved this particular parallel and thought it would be a great fit for this bingo prompt!#hope I'm doing this right! this is my first time doing a bingo! aaahh!
