hi!! I’m absolutely LOVING your designs for the nine muses, but I’m wondering what the significance of the parchment and feather earrings (on the three that you’ve posted so far) are?

The wing they each have is a reference to the Muses' frequent association with birds: whether taking wing to avoid a creepy guy in the rain, transforming the daughters of Pierus into birds for being sore losers, or plucking the feathers off the Sirens and wearing them in their hair, the Muses are associated with the ability to transform themselves and others into birds.

The parchment common amongst their designs is related to their positions as goddesses of the arts -- the Muses were poets, scholars, and performers, and there is little under the academic and artistic umbrellas that did not fall under their purview. :)

According to some accounts, the Thracian Biston was the child of Ares -- who counted Thrace as his ancestral homeland -- and the muse Terpsichore, goddess of dance.

May every star you wish upon And every hope you're hangin' on come true Out of everybody in the world There's no one who deserves it more than you

In some versions, the musician Linus is the son of Hermes, god of the Crossroads, and the muse Urania, goddess of Astronomy.

I pictured a rainbow

You held it in your hands

I had flashes

But you saw the plan

I wandered out in the world for years

While you just stayed in your room

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

Today's team consists of artist @artcrystals and writer @LadyofMilvania. Read "Love Amidst the Sylleblossoms" on AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/34416706

Summary: The line of Caelums had passed, and soon the Nox Fleurets would fade into history. The new era of the dawn had no place for kings and queens, but the countries of Lucis and Tenebrae still needed guidance and hope. The hope fell to the hands of Ignis and Ravus for all to see. Now to just make all of Eos believe...

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

You’re young, and so loud, but one evening you meet a boy who floats on a piece of starlight cut straight from the sky. A boy with a wing that curls around his face like a crescent moon. A boy whose laughter is endless and grants wishes.  

You're young, and you’re loud with thunder, and that noise is all you’ve ever known — but one evening, you meet a boy for whom the whole world falls quiet.  Goes still.  A boy at whose cheerful grace the whole world stops to catch its breath.

Concept Art Ares x Early Access Hypnos, young gods with nothing yet to prove.
