The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology

Nemesis (νεμεσις meaning ‘to give what is due’) was the goddess of divine retribution and revenge in Greek mythology. She would show her wrath to any human being that would commit hubris (arrogance before the gods). Nemesis was also a remorseless goddess, and was frequently portrayed as a winged goddess wielding a whip or even a dagger. In one myth she enacted divine retribution on Narcissus for his vanity. After he rejected the advances of the nymph Echo, Nemesis lured him to a pool where he caught sight of his own reflection and fell in love with it, eventually dying. However she was also known as Adrasteia, meaning ‘The Inescapable,’ or the ‘Goddess of Rhamnous’ in recognition of her famous temple in the city Rhamnous.

therapy: expensive and annoying❌😵💸

becoming a supervillain: even more expensive and stressful but at least you look cool🔥🙏

accidentally doxxing yourself to your superhero friend and then immediately getting in a car crash because you are stupid: priceless 🫡

Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin, one cannot exist without the other.

My abstract portrait pfp, depicting a citizen of Los Diablos.

Name redacted. Gender redacted. Species redacted.

Telepath. Cuckoo. Secretly both.

A forceful, terrifying known killer; introduced and acknowledged only as a citizen. Everyone will be forced to admit it. No one will claim they are not again. This is the power of having no name.

[A bright orange barcode, shattered like a window and spray painted with custom Sidestep blue, overlaid onto the same grey faces of a citizen. That unreadable, incorporeal, abyssal multi-face could almost look blue.]

[asthecrowrambles]

finally explored the ending to retribution by sending the puppet to hollow ground and getting puppet stuck and oh my god. ohhh my god ortega played me like a FOOL

its so ironic how sidestep is convinced meeting ortega at the diner wasn't a coincidence, but thinks ortega running into the puppet wasn't planned or intentional

So, I just finished reading the Eumenides and there’s honestly so many passages that could apply to Bleach because of the whole ‘when is enough retribution enough’ but this quote in particular really sprung out to me as being very Tosen & Hisagi.

“I urge my people to follow and revere neither tyranny nor anarchy,

and to hold fear close,

never cast it out entirely from the city.

For what man who feels no fear is able to be just?”

how do you feel about Jade's half brother + will he be showing up in any of your fics ?

whoa, anon, are you in my head or something? i was literally thinking about him last night 😭 luke chaumont has only appeared one time in comics and it’s enough to send me into a late night spiral about jade and her family.

tw / abuse mention, trafficking mention

luke is someone i would love to see brought back into the fold because he opens up a lane where we can start to dig into jade’s story more. in only one appearance there are a few things we can glean about the chaumonts and luke in particular: jade’s family moved to australia after selling her, the chaumonts are wealthy, luke is her older brother, he is a respected (and likely high-ranking) agent in checkmate, and is aware that his sister is cheshire. all of that can be understood in one story and it makes for so much room to explore. it’s also worth noting that luke is clearly white-passing and a man while jade is neither. luke growing up in australia and becoming very successful while his sister was being subjected to multiple forms of abuse is a stark contrast to say the least. his entire life is the exact opposite of jade’s. basically, if you bring luke back into the fray then you can start examining andré and anna more. i really like the idea of all three of them knowing that she’s alive and knowing that she’s cheshire because that makes her a ghost made real. she’s always there, lurking, haunting, (staring back in anna’s case); a reminder that whether it be death or imprisonment, their reckoning is inevitable.

as for including him in my fics, i’ve been trying to figure out how to factor him into structural integrity (which will be published soon) but there’s so much i want to explore within that story since it’s the one that takes place in the “present”, and i have to be careful not to detract from the main point of the story (which is building a home literally and figuratively). so, i don’t think he’ll “physically” appear in that story but don’t be surprised if you see mentions of him because i am itching to write and explore jade’s reaction to lian and roy knowing luke. cause it’s like, her long lost brother has been to her daughter’s birthday parties, and is in a position where he can contact her and he just. hasn’t. crazy.

there is definitely a story idea that has lingered in my brain for quite sometime though where jade takes it upon herself to go find her family and possibly enact some much-needed vengeance (justice, really). something very cathartic, you know? again, jade functioning as the ghost of chaumonts’ past that is very much alive and in a position where her mere existence threatens whatever andré and anna have created in regards to their livelihood now is just too good.
