OOMFIETOBER DAY 8

IPHIGENIA

[meekmedea]

Considering the direction the games has gone in the AU, now I'm debating whether to do something similar as the art of falling (for you) where the tributes get sent to spend a week or two in the Capitol vs sending the mentors to the Districts.

Both have their pros...

Except chaos in the Capitol with the troublesome trio + Reaper would be pretty funny. Dill probably gets roped in, through association with Felix. Maybe the same with Sol.

IF it takes place in the Capitol....

Maybe a mentor complains about the unfairness of Clemensia and Sejanus already knowing the partner they're assigned to

Clemensia was ready to channel her inner Hector and throw hands. But she just about managed to control herself.

If you ask her classmates about this though, she had a murderous expression on her face. But this is only getting admitted on the threat of torture. Because they aren't a snitch or anything.

Reaper and Marcus don't really get along, to the chagrin of Clemensia and Sejanus. Like come on guys... please? 🥺

Don't worry Reaper and Marcus bond once they meet Coriolanus and realize that the blond is friends with both Clemensia and Sejanus.

Reaper 🤝 Marcus questioning their friend's sanity (because why did they befriend that blond?)

Also an exchange that came to mind while typing this

Felix: It's not fair you get assigned to Reaper, you already know him! And that defeats the purpose of the whole assignment. Iphigenia, sick of watching a totally not jealous Felix: Careful, you almost sound like you're jealous. ` Reaper, who thinks this whole thing is super funny: You're just jealous that she's madly in love with me and not you. Right, Clemmie? Clemensia, without missing a beat: Yep. In fact, now that you've caught us, I guess we'll come clean. After this summer, I'm planning to run away to 11 to be with him. ` Felix: Felix, after watching his friends leave him standing there: Wait, that was a joke, right? Right??? Clemmie?? Nia??? Reaper?? Come back, guys! `

Max, who was unfortunately within earshot during all this: *choking on his coffee* and having intense flashbacks to the rumours back in his day.

Back then, Clemmie's great-grandparents did essentially just that. Ludius Dovecote fell in love and followed Anise to 11, where they eventually married and had Hector.

Me : I don't think I would ever create a capitol oc

My brain: we'll see about that

and that's how this was born

Kassandra moss

Iphegenia 's little sister at 12 years old unlike her sister Kassandra is terrified of their father and always obeys everything he says and asks of her because of this she is bragged about by her father and negatively compared to her older sister

She's a very isolating girl who considers her dolls and sister to be her closest friends , she does have a friendship with Artemis ring but she never tells her about her home troubles as her father told her to keep it a secret

Collect antique dolls and talk to and sleep with them she also tends to stress eat a lot

Despite the favouritism she and iphegenia have a nice relationship both try to help the other with their eating habits (although with very little to no success) Kassandra considers iphegenia her closest friend and they talk alot with one another however when it comes to dealing with their father they tend to argue about it as Kassandra doesn't see a point in getting revenge at their father and tries to get her sister to be more obedient while iphegenia wishes Kassandra would stop listening to their father

Iphegenia brought Kassandra with her to the zoo , Kassandra was at first scared and anxious as their father talked very badly of the districts but then she noticed dill coughing and asked her if she was sick then much to her surprise she talked with dill for a while and found herself wishing that dill would become the victor which made her feel conflicted because she was supposed to be rooting for her sister's tribute and she wasn't supposed to talk to any of the tributes to begin with

Found lucky to be very annoying

Both sisters held and comforted one another after the games

Thinking about how motherhood saved Aurelia. Not in the toxic way where she makes her daughter her bff and carry all her burdens, but in the way where she'd do literally anything for this child. She did not believe in love before her child existed, and when she was born something in her changed. Yes, she was angry at the world for its cruelty towards her, but she knew she had to break the cycle and make sure the world was less cruel for her child.

Character emotes!

[kaz-identified]

4, 27, 33 for the guardians? 🤔

4.

Iphigenia Melavir, to whom "resilient" does not begin to cover it all. A member of Clan Ithaca, she was a dear friend of the Young Wolf, Telemachus, and her fireteam, even claiming Orestes Verlax as a brother of sorts, up until the Red War, when she lost her Ghost, Zephyr, and best friend, Apollo, in the retreat from the City, taking his Ghost Delphi with her to the Farm. Since she has learned Stasis to fend for herself and Delphi, refusing to leave the field until she is dead for real, or her beloved Cassandra convinces her to maybe take it easy.

27.

Paragon-9 leads a relatively simple life. He is a crucible regular, on the path to become a Vanguard scout. He doesn't have a lot happening.

33.

Flint-5 is motivated by one thing: wealth. She owes no loyalty to the City or Vanguard, only to herself and whoever's paying her the most. Once a humble hitman in the City, she's moved up to running her own business in the City's seedy underworld as a contractor, putting Guardians willing to get their hands dirty with less reputable activities in contact with those willing to do whatever it takes to get a leg up over the competition. ask me about my guardians

Sacrificed children

This morning I was awoken by the sound of prayer.

A tune curling through my window: God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest.

It's Eid al-Adha. The Eid of sacrifice. Honouring when Ibrahim/Abraham was willing to kill his son, and for his devotion, his son was saved.

Of course, when Ismail (or Isaac) is replaced by a ram on the altar, I immediately start thinking of another sacrificed child. Replaced by a deer, in some versions. In others, not.

Not a test of faith who was always destined to be saved. A punishment, a dare, or a wretched bargain: lose the girl or lose the whole army.

And Artemis took pity on the girl - she had no fault in all this. She had a further life. But either way, her father did the damning deed. He was not only willing, but he went through with it.

There's no winning in war.

And the clever thing The Burnt City did was to link up all the lost children of the war: not just killed, but sacrificed. Not only Iphigenia and Polyxena, parallels already drawn in the text between these two slaughtered princesses. Also Polydorus: in this version, not only killed for man's greed, but also sacrificed at the request of a god. A dark god, outside the pantheon, worshipped in secret.

Hidden away in a labyrinth.

"Boys are harder to find," I once heard Polymestor say. All the boys had been sent away already. All the boys were already off being killed. (Sacrificed to Ares.)

All except one prince, still protected by his mother.

He, too, must feed the unquenchable thirst for blood, one way or another.

The labyrinth is the city and the city is war. It repeats over and over and over again, and were it not for the war, nobody would know its name.

And all sacrificed children are the same child. When Polydorus takes me into his refuge under the stairs, he tells me a story, but the story belongs to Mycenae. The tale of the lion cub is from Aeschylus' Agamemnon. But he is not just Polydorus, he is every child that has been lost or thrown away for what was deemed a greater cause. When Iphigenia takes me into her hut, she tells not the story from her own text, but instead a story of a world that's all merciless and fake.

Every child lost to war is a loss to the whole world. Nobody comes out victorious.

Yu-Gi-Oh AU chapter where both Lyla and Iphigenia get their decks stolen by some fellow students of Duel Academy looking to cause trouble

Lyla and Iffie go after one another's decks instead of their own, and this culminates in a scene where Lyla has to duel using Iffie's deck (maybe it's a wager to get Iffie's deck back, or maybe it's something unrelated that comes up after)

through this exercise, Lyla comes to understand how her friend's deck is similar to hers (in that it swarms the field with individually weak monsters) and how it's different (in that it then uses them for the summon of Dystopia the Despondent)

and in true YGO fashion, she comes to understand more about Iffie herself through this exercise, and Lyla has a deep and thoughtful moment about the infinite similarities and differences between herself and Iffie

meanwhile, Iffie simply shoved the kid who stole Lyla's deck and took it back that way, and she's been waiting idly for most of the chapter

moody teenagers getting kidnapped

So, the mentors' children, who are 13 in here, are on the way to a school field trip to the Capitol museum, and all of a sudden, their Professor and the bus driver gets knocked out by two masked men who broke into the bus and everyone is freaking out.

And during this time, they're very, very moody teenagers.

The kids just start yelling "Do you know who our parents are?!" at the masked men.

One of the masked men takes over and drives the bus to an abandoned house.

The kids start yelling even more.

He just tells everyone to shut up or he'll kill them in an instant.

Surprisingly, it works??

They arrive at the abandoned house, and the kids are pushed in there.

It isn't just the two masked men of course, there are five more in the abandoned house.

One of them says, "Alright, I'm going to call your parents to pay me a ransom of 50 million in order to get all of you brats out."

So, he does. He calls Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray first, and tells him to gather all the parents of the children at Coryo's penthouse and pay a ransom of 50 million.

And the parents are freaking out!

Felix and Clemmie are very worried, but they know Aelia will kick the kidnapper's ass and find a way out somehow because come on, she's a mini version of both Felix and Clemmie. (she got the Ravinstill punch and the Dovecote kick!)

Festus and Pippa are more worried than Clemmie and Felix are, because they know Athena is a sweetheart and won't hurt anyone.

Hilarius & Vippie and Livia & Arachne have a similar reaction to Felix and Clemmie.

Lucy Gray and Coriolanus Snow are FREAKING OUT. June Ruby is the smallest compared to all her classmates and is as pure as snow, she won't even flick an ant!

Io and Urban are also freaking out, because Albert is a nerd and doesn't know how to fight that well, despite having Urban as his father.

Apollo & Androcles, Lyssie & her husband, Iphigenia & Diana, Florus & Palmyra, and Juno & Domitia are nervous that their children won't be able to get out from there and that the kidnappers will kill their children.

Once all the parents are in Coryo and Lucy Gray's penthouse, he calls the kidnapper again.

The kidnapper's like: "If you all want your children, you must pay me a ransom of 50 million!", though it isn't really clear because of everyone either shouting or crying.

The six masked men are telling their kids to shut up but they can't really hear them.

The kidnapper has to repeat it ten times to the parents.

Now, here's when Aelia, Achilles, and Plutarch get to kick ass.

All of a sudden, Achilles knocks one of the kidnappers out with a pan he randomly found in the house.

This alerts the other kidnappers, so Aelia, and Plutarch help Achilles knock the others out.

The kidnapper on the phone tries to stop the kids, but he was in the middle of threatening their parents.

Their parents could hear all the fighting going on from the phone and they're all speechless.

Plutarch sneaks up behind the kidnapper, who's on the phone and knocks him out too!

All of the kidnappers are knocked out, and they find a way out! (they get out of the abandoned house and just walk in the Capitol streets until they see the Academy)

Reviving some old OCs as an exercise. This is Zephra, who I originally made back in 2018 or so, based on the myth of Iphigenia (specifically the version where she is saved by Artemis). Reference for the pose is by @jookpubstock.

This was initially supposed to just be a small character exploration (just these sketches below), but I then wanted to make something more in the splash art style. I had a lot of fun redesigning her, and she'll hopefully make some reappearances later down the line!
