will never not be emotional that Ghost gets to do all these things now that these huge metal and rock bands coined back then, like?? getting a WORLDWIDE midnight sale like metallica's black album, guns'n'roses, scorpions or def leppard is crazy stuff and it's a nostalgic thing yeah because record stores don't have the same influence anymore but it's still so awesome that this band is trying to bring people together physically and with that gets to walk in the footsteps of these giants to keep up beloved traditions.

Hephaestus & Aglaea

Trust is not given, it's forged.

Ver. 2

ver. 1

Look at thaaaaat another God on my list. Of course I had to do another Goddess though cause they're too fun to make- So I made his wife (who I didn't know was his wife until a while ago) Aglaea, one of the Charities/Kharities!

Before I start to spew nonsense and act like I know what I'm doing with these designs, I must give mention to @superscrub323 because of their help. I would not have the ideas of what to do with Hephaestus (and ESPECIALLY Aglaea) if now for their assistance, so I take no credit in the rambling I will be doing in this post, except for a few things. Thank you again, I really appreciate it. :]

Now to rambling (edit: this is quite a long one, sorry):

His clothes are the most.. different out of everyone else with one of his sacred animals just plastered on it instead of incorporating it in a more creative way, but honestly I was so frustrated making his design.. He's the most likely to get changed for better detail (like on his belt I just blanked and moved on until adding that heart lock, but I'll get to that). Same for his prosthetic leg. I just had to get something down on the canvas or else I'd be stuck. But I'll be redoing that too to be better.

For starters, if you're wondering why he ain't in an apron or any blacksmithing attire it's because I like to think Hephaestus is so comfortable and used to forging that he wouldn't see a need to change. If he gets the job done, does it matter what he wears? (my real answer is because I didn't want to because I had.. like no inspiration to-) He gets his clothes dirty and covered in dust, so I imagine Aglaea making him promise to wear an apron more often. He will probably have goggles in the future too, but right now he doesn't.

Giving him an arm made of magma and rock was not my idea, but it is such a sick idea. I'm not surprised to see others take the same approach because honestly it's incredibly cool. Hephaestus is described as lame because of his leg(s) or apparently his face (???), which the latter I never understood when younger. Idk if that's a newer thing or not, but it just didn't make sense to me, and still kinda doesn't. When asked if I wanted to go with the prosthetic or an ugly face, I went with the prior because I didn't want to do anything to his face, but ended up making half of his face magma so- I interpret it as, after being thrown off Olympus, he lands on his face so hard it breaks (do the gods have bones..??) his skull. That gets hardened & fixed by magma, while the surface skin remains just plain magma (idk how it stays in okay-). His other leg being made of magma and rock was another idea I thought of, and saw when looking for refs, so I thought it'd be cool to have that with his arm.

Gave him a beard. Plan was to have him be bald, but stars, I am a sucker for a man bun so he has that now- also told that since he likes to make jewelry, I should deck him out in it. Obviously he is not decked out in it- again, no ideas in my brain, and with all the magma, he was getting cluttered as it was. And jeez this is going on long- why does he and Aglaea have the most symbolism rn?-

Moving onto Aglaea, the youngest Kharities out of the three, which I never remember for the life of me, I always think she's the oldest. Probably because alphabetically.. Anyway, I was suggested to give her a fuller body and make her have accent purple. Also was suggested to give her blonde hair in a braid, but I went for ombre instead as I imaged her hair to be brown. Why not mix the two? I also wanted her hair to be up in a bun (higher up than Hera and Athena's) and added braids in that.

Also side headcanon that I plan to give all the Kharities (those outside of the main three as well) flowers on the side of their heads (because Antheia has em, so I thought why not)

However the flowers she and her two sisters are going to have are poppies of different colors, and be part antelope. The Kharities (at least when I tried looking, but I also could've not looked hard enough) had no sacred animal or plant that I could find, so I got creative.. anemones, or Poppies, are sacred flowers to Aphrodite (due to the whole Adonis thing), so I'm giving it to the three Kharities just by that association. And I added the antelope because it symbolizes grace & beauty, just like they do. Because Aglaea is the youngest, I gave her the shortest horns (and plan for Euphrosyne to have those boomerang-shaped horns & Thalia to have the spiral ones). She has three heart clips on her person as an attendant to Aphrodite & being the third daughter. And she's in jewelry of course, though the patterns on her clothes will likely change to be better.

Final thing: the heart lock & key. I wanted to add something to Aglaea, and an open spot was her neck, so I was going to give her a necklace with a key on it. But I went to look up how keys looked in Ancient Greece, and well, it's too big to be a neckpiece lol, but I did find images of Roman keys and decided to use that. Problem was, I didn't like how it looked, so I moved it. To her bracelet. Originally in its place was a donkey, but I put the key there and thought it would be cool if the key was like a spare key to Hephaestus's forge. It's tucked into the bracelet and no one would be the wiser (good on you Hephaestus). And I gave him a heart lock because, c'mon- (I needed to fill the space on his belt it's so gosh darn bland I can'tttttt! I want to fix it so bad but I'm so OVER HIM RIGHT NOW) whatever I'll get to it.

oh also he cools down his magma so he doesn't burn her. okay that's it-

Hey, Google Docs? I'm off by one letter. I'm off by one doubled letter. I get it, you're AI-fried right now, but you have to be able to recognize when a single letter, from a doubled letter, is missing from a word, right? You have to know the word 'millennium,' right?

[dreadark]

you know how till's collar is (surprisingly?) still green even with ivan clinging to him

I just noticed, it's green when he wakes up during round 3 too

even though he was literally just beaten unconscious

...does he find ivan's singing reassuring, somehow?

Some CU and Dog Man movie posters I made!! Feel free to use these for whatever

Obviously since the Dog Man movie's not out yet it was hard to find the exact runtime, but google said 1 hour 33 minutes so who am I to argue

More for TETOCU and Dog Man: The Musical under the cut!!

Two different versions for the musical, one with the cast & credits like the other posters and one listing the songs on the soundtrack :)

The Aetherglossa

There is a current of magick whispered only in dreams, a language that predates writing and even thought. It's not Enochian, not Theban, not even infernal. This is the Lost Language Of The Liminal. It is called:

"The Aetherglossa" — The Tongue of Spirits Not Yet Born.

This language is not spoken by living lips but dreamt by entities waiting to incarnate, shouted in reverse in the womb, or breathed in during sex, death, or deep trance. It is a precognitive tongue, carried by unborn daemons and whispered through veils.

Where It Exists

• In dreams you wake from with a phrase stuck in your head you cannot translate

• On the backs of mirrors, or between the letters of ancient grimoires

• In songs that get stuck in your mind without cause—they are encoded transmissions

• In the air of ritual spaces just before manifestation

Magickal Use

If you channel this language, it doesn’t work like invocations. It works like keys that twist the locks of time and identity.

How to Begin:

• Dark mirror gaze; light a candle behind you, sit before a mirror, and gaze into your reflection in shadow.

• Whisper nonsense syllables until one catches fire in your mouth—repeating it should shift your consciousness.

• Record them phonetically, but do not translate. These are not meant to be interpreted—only used.

• Charge the phrase by speaking it during, orgasm, breath retention at the top of a trance, just before falling asleep, and in ritual circles to call forgotten gods.

An Initiation Ritual of the Aetherglossa

• Tool: A small mirror, obsidian or black glass is best

• Timing: Third night of the Dark Moon

• Offering: A single drop of blood or saliva on the mirror surface

Incantation:

"By the tongue unborn and the song unsung,

I break the circle of known things.

Let the syllables of the dead not-yet breathe through me.

Open, mouth of void, and let me speak the unspoken."

Possible Effects:

• You may dream in an alien tongue

• Hear whispers from your mirror or walls

• Begin writing symbols that resemble but are not any known alphabet

• Develop a personal daemon dialect—a sigil-language of your own spirit’s shadowline

• Trigger synchronicities that teach you rather than confirm you

Where This Leads

Aetherglossa is not just a language—it is an initiatory path.

It leads to:

• Creation of thought-forms born of non-time

• Reconnection with future selves already watching you

• Integration of pre-birth karma or forgotten daemon pacts

• Working with entities like Astraroth, Leviathan, Azazel, Chavajoth, Abaddon, Tiamat, or Iyrzarel—those who speak “before speech”

Most magicians look to the past or present, but the Aetherglossa is a future tongue trying to be remembered. It is a whisper from the void, hidden in your own soul’s distant echo.

The more transfeminine people I interact with on instant messaging applications, the more I notice that they all seem to type the same, or at least, a certain subset of them do, for example, I have two transfem friends, who, to the best of my knowledge, have never met each other, live in different countries, are several years of age apart, and yet, still are distinctly cut from the same instant messaging cloth, I have to assume it's a viral infection which is rapidly spreading.
