8.23.6 About a stade distant from Caphyæ is a place called Condylea, where there are a grove and a temple of Artemis called of old Condyleatis. They say that the name of the goddess was changed for the following reason. Some children, the number of whom is not recorded, while playing about the sanctuary found a rope, and tying it round the neck of the image said that Artemis was being strangled.
8.23.7 The Caphyans, detecting what the children had done, stoned them to death. When they had done this, a malady befell their women, whose babies were stillborn, until the Pythian priestess bade them bury the children, and sacrifice to them every year as sacrifice is made to heroes, because they had been wrongly put to death. The Caphyans still obey this oracle, and call the goddess at Condyleæ, as they say the oracle also bade them, Apanchomene, the Strangled Lady, from that day to this.
Who would host their partner if something were to happen to their hive. (District blackout/bombing/general hive problems)
{Oooh lemmi give you a few OptionsTM :D
Bel would host you at his hive even if he didn't know you well, so he'd DEFINITELY offer a partner a place to stay!
Ceupid, of course, practically lives with his mate Sidere already! They switch between apartments but hosting each other would be no sweat
It would depend on the partner, but if Artume considered you one of his treasures, he would think it's irrisponsible to not keep you safe and in his grasp
Dri would let you stay, of course. But he's make you feel terrible about the whole time! Teasing you for needing him and all that. UNLESS you were his mate Elymaz, in which case he would be so tickled to have him there!
Farfel would let you in... but the problem would be letting you out
Here's hoping you don't get weirded out about Harona having a separate bed for her puppet. Or for him moving on his own when he has his nightly lament about missing is skull
Totally! Kokoro loves you and wuld love to take care of you.
Lastly, Teruqa would be totally fine with letting a partner stay with him, but it's more because he knows how terrible it is to not have a safe place to live.]
Celebrated Waitangi Day over here recently & thought I'd chuck up some Māori themed artums!
Bear witness to the mighty Warrioress, preparing to unleash fury upon her foes! & the other, a simple man weaving a tale of whimsy for his patrons, plucking from a gat that does more than just harmonize chords~
i’m super excited to introduce my new Squaller, Zephyr! the name is no accident, and was actually given to him a lot later in life when his summoning was discovered.
due to the unfortunate circumstances of his conception and birth Zephyr was unnamed for years, his mother would only refer to him as “boy” or “you”. she struggled immensely with
p/ost p/artum *censoring it doesn’t appear in important conversations haha*, and thus struggled to provide him with affection or care at all.
When at last Zephyr presented his skill of summoning, his mother thought of it was a cosmic joke that a Rosya b@stard would be a Grisha, the very thing his father wished to destroy.
—his discovery of his ability was due to getting 3rd degree frost bite on all his fingers and in his desperation to seek warmth, began manipulating the air around him to warm thru Grisha science.
☁️ anyways! i’m trying to get better at “showing” my oc’s stories via comics + illustration so you’ll learn more about him in different posts!
