A very powerful and intelligent way of representing Yemanja. We learn very early on from the mythology of the Greek gods true "designed" bodies.

I also see it as an anti-fatphobia fight, since, yes, this fat black woman is a beautiful mermaid.

"A small portion of a larger painting. This is Olokun, the god of the primordial waters. Angered that Obatala created the lands without her consent, Olokun sought to reclaim her dominion with a great flood. To stop the floods Obatala chains her to the bottom of the ocean…this is the very moment before she is imprisoned within her own kingdom. She stands as a symbol of the chaos that bubbles beneath our calm surface, a profound reminder of the lesser-known parts of ourselves we often retreat from."

Goddess! Okoye x Loyal Worshipper! Attuma AU

Tip option in bio :) enjoy!

alexa play god is a woman and kudos to the genius who cooked this with me @theemfingmenace ! everyone else I expect fanfiction by Monday 🙄✨

you offer yourself to me?

yes… to spare the others in the temple.

She laughs. I have no interest in others and you know that. You won’t ever be able to convince me that this is for anyone but you.

• her most loyal follower, ATTUMA, is convinced that if he sacrifices those who don’t fear OKOYE, it will grant him her favor.

as she rests her eyes, he approaches her throne, covered in fresh blood. she crinkles her nose. My love! Another heretic I have brought to you! I spilled their blood in your name… for your honor. Do you love me now?

she looks down at him from her throne, a smirk on her face. you know I haven’t the time or patience of loving you. this is not true, she is very fond of this mortal.

his desperation is apparent in the whine of his voice and glaring of his nose. but-! I- … well, I will worship you regardless. My love for you knows no bounds.

her smile is sugary sweet. what a funny pet you’ve become…

Taking of Oya’s Freedom, 2023, 48 × 60 inches.

"Ogun and Oya were two forces that should have never came together. For Ogun, the god of war was driven by anger, control, and aggression and Oya demanded her freedom for she was the embodiment of the wind, wild and free. To escape the watchful eyes of her husband, she would don a buffalos skin and transform, being able to roam the lands freely. Ogun curious and frustrated as to where she would go to spend her days, followed her. Jealous of her time spent without him, he hid and waited for the perfect moment to surprise her and take the skin."
