Cast of A Mother's Face WIP

(descriptions below)

Amble: 23, any pronouns. Painter, party crasher, lover of sugar, thief of shiny things left out on tables, Anxiety, has an emotional support dagger, very bad at most things, most awkward and oblivious person alive, loves their mom more than anything.

Chalci: 40-ish, she/her. Amble’s mom, assassin, like Robin Hood but with more decapitations, can change her face at will, tired most of the time, wants the best for Amble but fears they won’t be able to let go of her.

Brach: 24, he/him. Bookkeeper, used to be engaged, pen pals with Amble for ~10 years, very big and strong but will also bump into every table and trip over nothing, very sensitive and sentimental and cuddly, loves plants and coffee and books, pushover.

Mig: 21, she/her. Aspiring gaslight gatekeep girlboss, hopeless romantic, huge book nerd, knows too much obscure trivia, always on top of fashion, aspiring model, will destroy your reputation if you slight her, goes rabid for mysterious bad girls, would love to have a sword.

Leo: ??, he/she. Classic sexy vampire, turns into a horrible moth creature, delivery person, nerd, knows how to sew and gets fancy fabric from his mom (who sews outfits for nobility), lingerie enthusiast, occasional murderer, the only character with a lot of friends.

Lucilia: 32, she/her. Head monster hunter, fiercely protective mom energy, very tall and buff, very skilled at killing various things, lives to help others, loves goats, has never told a lie in her life, technically aro ace but still weak for pretty femmes.

There's other characters, of course, but I haven't drawn them yet.

blink and miss them Colin scenes in S2

-he lost the bet at the races. Benedict and Eloise won their wagers, but Colin looks put out, meaning he bet on the wrong horse

-he escorts Lady Danbury up the stairs at Aubrey Hall when she's holding baby Auggie. He escorts her by the arm. It looks like he's also carrying her cane

-he knows the scientific name for the Grecian flowers he and Phillip nerd out about. he calls them coronopifolia as opposed to their more common name: Golden Buttons

-he made a pun on Lord Featherington's name when he first talked to him. He said 'You truly are a *Jack* of all trades'

-he mentions that he traveled with friends he made in Athens to Marousi and Chalcis. He then says he swam in the Petalioi Gulf, a 'word I now know how to say', presumably taught to him by said friends

-he says he was dissuading Eloise from visiting the printers before he goes to see Marina. This means he kept it a secret from the rest of his family

-Colin curses. Specifically, he says 'Hell and the Devil' when Benedict poured all the Magic in his magic tea

-he holds Penelope's hand on his left. this means she was closest to the wall when they were walking to the Featherington sitting room from the ball and he was by the railing, mirroring their positions when he'd first asked her to escort him out, where she was by the railing and he was by the wall

-immediately after his dance with Penelope that Fife saw, Fife is seen talking to Anthony and gesturing to the dance floor

-Colin's final scene takes place through the reflection of a mirror when he apologizes to Will Mondrich at his pub

Fallen in Their Prime

Anthologia Planudea 26 = Simonides Note: This epitaph commemorates the Athenians killed during a victory over the Euboean city of Chalcis in 504 BCE. Dirphys is a mountain on Euboea; Euripus is the strait separating Attica and Euboea. Beneath the fold of Dirphys we were slain; a mound At public cost was poured on us near Euripus, Not unjustly: for we lost our lovely youth When we received the gritty cloud of war.

Δίρφυος ἐδμήθημεν ὑπὸ πτυχί: σῆμα δ᾽ ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν ἐγγύθεν Εὐρίπου δημοσίᾳ κέχυται, οὐκ ἀδίκως: ἐρατὴν γὰρ ἀπωλέσαμεν νεότητα, τρηχεῖαν πολέμου δεξάμενοι νεφέλην.

A hoplite with lion shield and trumpet. Interior of an Attic red-figure kylix (drinking cup), made by the potter Euxitheos and painter Oltos ca. 515-510 BCE. From Vulci; now in the Altes Museum, Berlin. Photo credit: ArchaiOptix/Wikimedia Commons.

Among the first Hellenic colonies of Sicily, Messina, the ancient Zancle, or "sickle" due to the singular shape of its port, was founded by settlers from Cuma and Chalcis, around 756 BC.

Not So Ordinary: since, in some instances *cough* Kingdom Hearts *cough* Cerberus can shoot fireballs/breathe fire, can Izuku do that here? Also, I assume he has claws on his hands and feet and a fluffy tail, as well as being more muscular.

KttK x NSO: Sora would not know what to make about humanoid Cerberus being friendly and wielding a keyblade after having fought Cerberus so often.

Not So Ordinary: I was actually curious as to where the association between Cerberus and fire came from since I couldn't recall any connection with the 'Guardian of Hades' thing, and so I did some digging. I've found multiple uncited claims that the poet Euphorion of Chalcis described Cerberus as having eyes that spit fire, but I can't find his actual work anywhere to verify that for myself. That all being said, Hisashi has a fire-breathing Quirk, so I don't see why not.

Keys to the Kingdom x Not So Ordinary: Sora would find that pretty surreal

Just thinking about how Frank’s watch that Grant got from Darryl has a little mark etched into its face of the when the dads were supposed to kill Grant and eat his skin 😀👍 Darryl scratched the time into the watch when they jumped off the bus in For Knights.

And now that time is forever on Grant’s wrist: a reminder of how he was supposed to die, how he cheated death, how he was forced to cheat death by killing something else. The watch has been broken for years. Its hands are frozen, and I wonder if that reminds him of Frank’s death or of his own… his childhood that died in that moment. He’s forever that scared little 12 year old blindly swinging an axe too big for his body and hoping to (praying not to) kill something.

#or if it reminds him of Frank… and how Darryl’s childhood died with him #ahem ahemn anyway. #chalcy stuff #dungeons and daddies #dndads #tw violence #tw death #cw violence #cw death #idk how to tag content warnings on Tumblr :( sorry #or if it’s necessary #but better to be safe than sorry ig #I am still new and relatively inactive here okay 😭

Some better pics of the Centuris. They accidentally ended up having a third kid because Nash got abducted and ACTUALLY ended up getting pregnant - which at this point I didn't think could happen for male aliens because everyone in this save gets abducted REGULARLY and I've never gotten a pregnancy out of it before.

Anyway, her name's Chalcie and Tash adopted her as her own because she's nice like that.

Also the baby shower cannon lit on fire during the baby shower. Things catch on fire a lot in this household.

All the places that participated in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks according to the Iliad

Below is a list of all the areas mentioned by Homer, in their original names. Bold text is used for areas that retain their name, places that still exist and are inhabited or are unearthed ancient settlements. However, please keep in mind that my English transliteration might be all over the place, as I transliterated them on my own straight from the ancient text.

Boeotia: Aulis, Skhinos, Eteonos, Skolos, Thespia (nowadays Thespies), Mykalissos, Graea (nowadays Tanagra, do I keep it? It’s also the origin of the name Graecia > Greece), Arma, Eilesio, Erythres (nowadays a part of Attica), Yli (built near the lake that is still called Yliki), Peteonas, Okalei, Medeon, Thisvi, Koronia, Aliartos, Plateae, Ypothives, Oghistos, Arni (later Chaeronia), Mideia, Nisa, Anthidona (nowadays the area belongs to Euboea), Orchomenos, Minio, Asplidona.

Orchomenos

Phocis: Kyparissos, Pythona, Krissa (now Khrisso), Daulis, Panopeas, Anemoria, Iampolis, area around Kifisos river, Lilaea. 

Daulis 

Locris (present-day parts of Phocis and Aetolia-Acarnania): Kalliaros, Cynus, Opus, Avyies, Vissa, Skarfi, Tarfi, Thronio (the nearby settlement nowadays is Neo (new) Thronio, in Phthiotis).

Euboea island: Chalcis, Eretria, Istiaea, Kirinthos, Styra, Karystos (a 100% there, well done Euboea)

Chalcis

Athens

Salamina island

Argos (also called Argolis): Argos, Tiryntha, Hermione, Asini, Troezen, Heiones, Epidaurus, Aegina island, Masita, Mycenae. 

Aegina island

Corinth, Kleones, Sikyona (nowadays Sikyonies), Tonoessa, Yperisia, Aegio, Pellini, Aegialos, Eliki.

Ruins of Ancient Kleones

Lacedaemona (also called Laconia): Sparta, Fari, Messi, Vrysies (could it be associated to the current village Vryses?), Avyies (could it be associated to the current town Aeyes?), Amykles, Elos, Loeo, Oitylon.

Oitylon

Pylos, Arini, Thryo, around Alfios river, Kyparissienta (nowadays Kyparissia), Amphiyenia, Pteleos, Elos, Dorion.

Kyparissia

Arcadia: Mount Kyllini, Feneos, Ripi, Stratia, Orchomenos, Enispi, Mantineia, Stymphalos, Parrasia. 

Mount Kyllini 

Ilida, Vouprasio, Yrmini, Myrsinos (nowadays Myrsini), Olenia, Alisio. Echinae islands (nowadays Echinades), Doulihion island. 

Echinades islands 

Cephalonia island, Ithaca island, Krokylia, Aeyilipa, Sami, Zakynthos island.

Beach in Sami, Cephalonia island.

Aetolia: Pleuron, Olenos, Pyllini, Chalcis, Calydona.

Ancient theatre found in Pleuron 

Crete island: Knossos, Gortyna, Militos (there is a place named Milatos nowdays, not sure it’s the same), Lyktos (nearby village named Lyttos), Lykasto, Phaestos, Rytio. 

Gortyna.

Rhodes island: Lindos, Ialysos, Kameiros.

Lindos

Symi island, Nisyros island, Krapathos island (nowadays called Karpathos), Kasos island, Kos island, Kalydnes island (nowadays Kalymnos...do I keep it?)

Nisyros island 

Halos, Alopi, Trihina, Phthia, Hellas. (Note: Homer now jumps north, towards Thessaly. He already mentioned regions of Phthiotis, however the Ancient Phthia corresponded to modern Phthiotis but also extended very much in the north, across Thessaly. As you also see, Hellas in Homer’s time was nothing more than just another area, although it was one of the areas, alongside Phthia and the rest here, controlled by Achilles. This might have been the reason its name grew so much in significance that eventually overpowered everything else and became the name of the nation and its lands. That happened very soon, maybe within a century or two after the Homeric Epics.) 

Pyrasos, Itona, Androna, Pteleos, Fylaki, Feres, Boibeis (mostly known as Karla nowadays), Iaolcos (Iolcos, later Volos through a painfully gradual procedure, do I keep it?), Glaphyres (nowadays Glaphyra)

Fun fact: It is Iaolcos > Iolcos > Yolcos > Yolos > Gholos > Volos. I wish them to get their shit together and go back to Iolcos

Mithoni, Thavmakia, Melivia, Olizona

(Massive Homeric leap to) Limnos island

Limnos

(And back again to) Trikki (nowdays called Trikala, do I keep it?), Ithomi, Oehalia.

Trikala

Ormenio, Asterio, Ypereia, mentions the white peaks of Titanos, which must be Othrys mountain, known as the Mountain of the Titans

Argissa, Orthi, Yirtoni, Oloosson (nowadays called Elassona, do I keep it?), Iloni

Elassona

Dodona, referring to it as δυσχείμερον, “which gets bad winters”

Ancient theatre of Dodona

And lastly,

Magnesia: Mount Pelion, characterized by Homer as εινοσíφυλλον, densely-leaved, meaning with dense forests. (Note: Homer does this weird thing, where he says that the Magnetes joined from Mt Pelion, however he has already mentioned several Magnetan locations including Iolcos, Feres, Pteleos etc. Then he makes a giant leap to the east to randomly include Limnos island, then he returns west of Magnesia, to the regions of Larisa and Trikala all the way to the outskirts of Epirus (Dodona) and then he suddenly returns to Magnesia and closes off with Pelion. Beats me.)

In Mt Pelion

Below is a map with all mentioned regions and their leaders in English.

Street in  Pentedattilo ( Calabria, Italy) leading to Church.  The town was founded as a colony of the Greek city of Chalcis, in 640 BC, destroyed by a earthquake in 1783 and abandon in the 1960′s. Now being restored. Beautiful views of the Ionian Sea.
