#Zarex

[amiti-art]

I was reading about Apollo's lovers and why is no one here talking about Rhoeo/Rhoio?

Like come on

"I'm so sorry your dad is so terrible, honey. Wanna live on my sacred Island instead?"

And he saved her sisters too???? And turned them into goddesses????

And he was rising their son himself???

And apparently Apollo had no problem with Rhoeo marrying his apprentice??? And Zarex adopted Anius??? And they had 2 more childern??? (I saw the 2 extra children only being mentioned on Wikipedia tho, so if anyone have other source talking about them please share with me 🙏🏻)

Also, Zarex was grandson of Chiron and Chariclo who is said to be Apollo's daughter (in some versions of the myth at least) which makes Apollo Zarex's great grandfather.

And Anius later become the king of Delos (you know the same island where Apollo WAS BORN) and also his father's priest 🥺🥺🥺

Why is no one talking about this??? Look I love Hyacinthus, Cyrene and Admetus, but we're sleeping on some good stories.

Anyway, Rhoeo is now on my top 5 Apollo's lovers list. Slay queen

Edit: I drew them -> Rhoeo, Anius Zarex

Propaganda:

Branchus

What's The Love Story?

Apollo disguised himself as a goatherd one day soon after killing Python and Branchus came across him, fell instantly in love with the beautiful shepherd, and kissed him. Apollo was just as enamored with Branchus as he was with him and granted him prophetic abilities, as well as a crown and magical staff!!

Going back some years to Branchus's birth, you could say that his mom received a vision of his future as a lover of Apollo - she dreamt that a glowing sun went into her mouth and through her stomach.

Also, since Apollo met Branchus soon after killing Python, he's probably Apollo's first lover EVER! Which is SO COOL APOLLO'S FIRST LOVE WAS A SHEPHERD BOY THE BISEXUALITY IS REAL

also also, an altar was built on the place where Branchus kissed Apollo <3 true love <3 and prophecies from Branchus were second only to Delphi itself, so Branchus got some STAR TREATMENT

Why Should They Win?

First Love = First Boyfriend <3 the queer is strong in this one

Yooooung Loooove Vibes TM

THEY WERE ADORABLE I NEED MORE OF THEM WHERE ARE MY BRANCHUS FICS

Rhoeo

What's The Love Story?

Her dad was THE worst and when he found out she was pregnant he didn't believe her that the father of the baby was a god so he put her in a wooden chest and threw into the sea. Jokes on him because Apollo was baby's father so Rhoeo made it safely to Delos. She gave birth to Anius and placed him on the alter in Apollo's temple and asked him to save the baby if he was truly his (idk why he needed saving tbh, the myth does not specify this. I headcanon that he was born too early)

Apollo then took Anius and not only saved him but also started to raise and mentor him.

Rhoeo later married Zarex who adopted Anius so our boy had 3 parents, good for him. And there are no myths about her dying a horrible death so she probably had a long and happy life (unlike some other lovers of Apollo 🙃)

Also around the same time Rhoeo got thrown into the sea in that wooden chest, while her sisters were watching over their dad's wine, it got destroyed by the swines. The sisters were so terrified of their father they decided to jump of the cliff but Apollo saved them and turned them into goddesses.

Why Should They Win?

I think Apollo truly loved her not only as a lover but as a friend too. It was not a one night stand like often happens in the myths. He loved her enough to save not only her and their son but also her sisters (like come on he turned them into goddesses). He let her live on his sacred island. And he loved her enough to let her go. While gods are often very possessive of their lovers (Apollo included, rip Koronis), he had no problem with Rhoeo moving on and getting married. I like to think that they stayed good friends and Apollo was very happy that she found such a great guy like Zarex to marry.

Kids?

"Shadows & Lights" - Sonic Boom AU

Pg 1 of character redesigns

In the AU, Rouge is mainly a treasure hunter and does not work for G.U.N. mainly stealing from rich assholes residing on the island. She's Shadow's best friend. Height wise, she's a little bit taller than Knuckles (meaning Shadow looks real tiny next to her lolol). Occasionally, however, she and Shadow will go bounty hunting. The last bounty hunt the two went on was for a gang of jackals, wanted dead or alive.

Mighty and Ray go on adventures relating to the history of the Ancients, looking to discover and preserve any findings they come across. They are very intrigued by the mystery of the Phantom Ruby and Master Emerald and their original purposes. Right now, the two gems are referred as "The Shattered Crystals", each having been shattered and scattered into hundreds of tiny shards. Most shards have never been found and the few that are seem to be... dangerously corrupted.

Tikal is an Ancient Spirit that resides in the Master Emerald (Known as one of the Shattered Crystals created by the Two Halves of Solaris in the AU), hoping to guard whatever uncorrected fragments remain. She's been watching over since before the last fall of the Ancients.

Zarex Erizo is an OC, who is top agent at G.U.N. She's sent to keep tabs on Sonic and Co (though mainly Sonic) alongside Dave the Intern, an underpaid informant for G.U.N, who works undercover at MehBurger and is tired of everyone's shit. Dave also happens to be a pilot and can built a few makeshift weapons out of random scrap. He's not too great at combat though. Zarex on the other hand excels at hand-to-hand combat and most weapons combat. She's the best at stealth though.

mythology aesthetics

RHOEO, ANIUS, & ZAREX

In Greek mythology, Rhoeo was the daughter of Chrysothemis. She became the lover of Apollo and by him the mother of Anius. When her father discovered her pregnancy, he believed she was impregnated by a man rather than a god. He placed her in a chest and cast her out to sea. She landed on the island of Delos, which was sacred to Apollo, where she gave birth to Anius; she then put him on the altar of Apollo and prayed to the god that the baby be saved if it was his. Apollo concealed the child for some time, taught him the art of divination and granted him certain honors. Rhoeo eventually married Zarex, who accepted Anius as his own, and had two more children with him. Later, Anius became a priest of Apollo and gave aid to Aeneas and his retinue when they were travelling from Troy to the future site of Rome.

How it looks: Main stats: Character Main weapon (if got any) Passive skill(s) Active skill

Additional stats (optional) Personal ship Body shape Special items Gender (if it’s unnoticeable or smth) Traits And else… How it writes:

Or just one LARGE person”

well there goes another longpost.

Wait, I was aware of the criticisms of Angel Dust and the vodou symbols, but was there legit criticism for Vaggie that I wasn’t aware of? I was under the impression that it was all of the “angry Latina” stereotype, but is there more to it?

I got an ask a while back which I can’t find that basically amounted to “Yeah, she has a reason to be angry, but it sucks that this is all we ever get every single time.”

And that’s a fair complaint to have. My previous dismissal of the criticisms of Vaggie was wrong of me.

Welcome!

Here I post all announcements, asks, a few reblogs from fellow lovely people, and my rambles about writing and game design as a whole. Currently trying to make multiple projects happen, so stay tuned~

Ask box is open, as that tend to be a better chance for my brain to focus on a topic, so ask away!

Please reblog or comment rather than like.

I have a couple of extra blogs, one of which being my art blog, found here: @nellie-dritz-doodles

Here’s my account for where I dump all my extra reblogs so that I don’t clutter this blog: @zarexraze I now have a Discord Server open to everyone! https://nellie-dritz-official.tumblr.com/post/662271974583779328/join-the-nellie-dritzs-server-discord-server

Here they are!!!

Their myth is super underrated so for those of you who never heard about them I made a post talking about their story -> Rhoeo's Myth

Quick summary: Rhoeo was Apollo's lover, he saved her life when her father wanted to kill her. Anius was their son, he was raised by Apollo and later became king of Delos and Apollo's priest. Zarex was Apollo's apprentice and he later married Rhoeo and adopted Anius

Those Rhoeo and Zarex's designs are showing them at the begining of the story, around the time Rhoeo was pregnant, I see them being in their early 20s back then. Zarex would 100% grow a beard as he got older (maybe I'll draw them older one day)

Anius is 15 yo here.

And now the headcanons!

• Rhoeo was a great musician, she had a beautiful voice and could play many instruments. It's the reason Apollo fell for her.

• Anius was born prematurely, that's why Rhoeo prayed to Apollo to save him.

• When Apollo was taking care of baby Anius, Zarex was making sure Rhoeo was doing allright and feeling comfortable on Delos, they bonded over their love for music.

• After almost dying when she was thrown to the sea in a wooden chest, Rhoeo was afraid of both water and small spaces, which made her avoid coming to the beach (which was a nightmer since Delos is a small island). Sometimes she would have nightmers about being traped in a chest again, it would cause her to wake up in the middle of the night and even tho her room was quite big she would feel trapped and go sleep rest of the night outside. Apollo and Zarex would try their best two help her overcome her traumas.

• One source claimed Rhoeo and Zarex had 2 childern together but their gender were not specified so I propose: twins, a boy and a girl. Can you imagine? Them having twins, when they were living on Delos? The same island Apollo and Artemis was born? Perfection

For the ask game! 23 and 27 :D

23. Got any fan characters? & 27. What do you like about the fandom?

27. i think what i really like about the fandom the most is the creativity! especially when people build on top of the existing lore and expand it! + aus, sonic ocs, redesigns etc. its all really fun to see, read about and take in

23. yep! im currently reworking one and making a couple with their own story but here's two strays that have no story rn they just exist

fun fact: i stole my shadow redesign's side markings from my zarex design bc i liked the spikyness

zarex's just a little shit, & there more stuff for both of them but just ideas currently

Helenus

What's The Love Story?

Helenus was the son of Priam and Hecuba of Troy! He's also the twin of Cassandra, and received the gift of prophecy from Apollo. Apollo also gave him an ivory bow that Helenus used to shoot Achilles in the hand with :3

Why Should They Win?

I know we all love Hector X Apollo, but this is a really good one too! Especially considering the Apollo's relationship with both Helenus & Cassandra!
