The fact that Python is Apollo's greatest enemy and snake is Asclepius' sacred animal will always be funny

sadly Arthur can't make friends with every cute woodland creature he comes across in the medieval countryside I can't believe the setting for season 5 has been out for over a month and I haven't seen a single monty python reference yet I guess I'll do it myself

in the spirit of choose-your-own-adventures here's an alternative timeline

I'm a sucker for anything related to the childhood of Artemis - Apollo, so imagine my joy when I saw these 18-19th century gems depicting the babies & their mama!!

Leto seated under a palm tree, with her infants Artemis and Apollo

The infant Apollo nursed by the nymphs

Themis feeding nectar to young Apollo

Leto and her twins in the presence of Poseidon

Leto punishing the Lycian peasants by turning them into frogs

While I didn’t draw this with the prompts of this years event in mind, it does fit very nicely [in my eyes] for todays prompt: Something wrong, something amiss

This is a kind of homage to the very first ‘big’ drawing I ever did, both for this fandom and in general

Here is a link to it, though it is. Old. So—

I have a headcanon: Voldemort actually studied "Muggle sciences" like chemistry, physics, biology, and... drumroll computer science! Just imagine Voldemort with nails typing on a computer but hiding it even from his Death Eaters-

and how do you think which programming language he uses? Python

Picture just to see he copes with "Hello world":

monitors of the 2000s should have been drawn in a different way, but that's not the point

Apollo and Diana Slaying the Python by Marcantonio Franceschini

[gingermintpepper]

There are many things people expect from one called 'God of Blood'. Always, the first thought is the blood of war, the blood of violence, the blood of the weak shed for the goals of the strong. Ares doesn't think of the blood of battle at all. When he thinks of blood, he envisions the many tied knots of blood bonds and bonds forged in the blood of battle. Blood sons and blood daughters, blood brothers and battle sisters, blood oaths and blood vengeance - he watches over them all and keeps close each one of these bonds.

One cannot begrudge his displeasure then when he realises he cannot tell Leto's offspring apart just by looking at them.

It was easier when it was just Artemis. Dark hair curled about her shoulders, a fierce mien whenever Father summons her to the mountain, a scattering of bones and blood shed whenever she was disturbed; the eldest child of Leto was a wild thing, sharp toothed with sharper claws always at the ready. There's whispers of her being a twin, of her other half being made to crawl on their belly as penance for their sin of god-slaying but Ares pays it little mind. What twins look alike among their number? Even dog litters are born distinct with all their unique markings inlaid in their fur. Artemis' twin too would be much more than their sister's mirror image.

Pouring over his list now, he wishes anything about Phoebus Apollo was that simple.

Mirror image did not begin to describe it. The twins were the same height, the same build, had the same colour and texture hair, ate the same raw food and drank the same amount of nectar. There was no difference in how they dressed, no difference in the company they kept, no variance in the weapons they used. There are some days Ares still cannot believe Phoebus will grow into a man and not some nymph with the way his ears have that slender point. He watches them now, sitting together beneath a shady palm and stringing their bows in an uncanny unison and curses because he still cannot tell them apart. What use is his skill in knowing blood when they both have the same damn blood running through their veins? What bond is there to sense when they are tied so tightly together, Ares can scarcely tell brother from sister?

He sighs. Unadorned and completely alone, the only way to know who is who is to speak to them. He'll have to find more ways to tell them apart from a distance. Surely they cannot stay this similar all the rest of their immortal lives.

I am fairly sexually conservative I think and yet I have to say many of my brothers and sisters in Christ have a visceral hatred of sexuality I can only describe as pathological
