I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

In Dreams and Stories

Supernatural murder mystery fic I started a while back. Mostly just for fun, because it's what's eating my brain at the moment.

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.

(Edit: Hating on Menelaus is illegal)

#makes me sad that when I want to tag her. it goes staight to “Troy” . Hector. Andromache. Priam. etc. are of TROY. she was only for acouple #years compared to that being their HOME. SHE wanted to go to HER home. MEH #idk what a good comparison would be but maybe like going abroad for job/school/etc. for a while. and then coming back home. #Are you now only known for what you did for a short while away from your home when you've spent the rest of your life home otherwise? #helen of troy #greek mythology #tagamemnon #helen of sparta #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus

Percy being allowed to be smart and figure things out on his own is actually one of my favourite things about the show like the way he was actually listening to Aries when he was talking about kronos and was able to connect that to the shoes trying to pull Grover into tartarus yes Percy use that brain of yours

#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo spoilers #percy jackson spoilers #also even from the start #percy being allowed to know greek myths #and it not just being on annabeth to be the walking mythology encyclopedia #bc like yeah #it makes sense for percy to know the greek myths #even if it wasnt for sally knowing hes the son of posidon #some level of greek mythology is just general knowledge at this point

Still reading the Odyssey. How have I never seen anyone bring up a headcanon that Odysseus becomes scared shitless of the ocean after finally coming home to Ithaca? I'm talking mental-breakdown inducing phobia.

The man has spent TEN YEARS lost at sea. Each time he reached land, Poseidon was here to try to drown him. His twelve ships with six hundred men sunk. And later on, when Alcinoos' men sailed him back to Ithaca, Poseidon sunk that ship too. It just never ends. Odysseus has seen hundreds of men, friends, die at sea, he's been whipped by waves, choked by salt, he faced Charybdis on his own, nearly drowned more times than he can count, all of this to finally reach home knowing his journey has drowned hundreds of innocent people.

I'm telling you he'd never heal from that shit. After he finally reclaims the throne of Ithaca, maybe Telemachus mentions that some of his father's old friends are still waiting for news of him, that Nestor has no idea he managed to go home and that Menelaus weeps whenever he thinks of him.

So Odysseus agrees to follow his son to Pylos and Sparta, having to sail across the sea once again, and although the trip goes smoothly it's a living nightmare for Odysseus. The moment the ship departs, he prays Poseidon with all his might, begging him to spare his son. He can't stop puking and crying, choking on his own erratic breath, hallucinating and going paranoid. For a few days Telemachus really thinks he's fallen ill. The trip back is just as terrible and Telemachus has no idea how to comfort his father or to make him understand that the seas are safe for him now, as well as for all the people who travel with him.

Yet another reason why Odysseus needs to spend the rest of his life in a Penelope/Diomedes sandwich hug, I rest my case.

#sol brainrot hours #odyssey #the odyssey #odysseus #greek mythology #epic the musical #please save this poor man he's seen so much shit #I physically relish in the thoughts of him being comforted by hugs. Hugs for Odysseus everyone.

Apollo and Asclepius

At first I wanted to draw Apollo hugging Asclepius' dead body for the last piece but I realized that there would be no body left after a mortal who was struck by Zeus' lightning 😔.

(The hair band survived because it was gift from Apollo and therefore made from the same devine material gods' clothes are made. Before he got this one, Asclepius was always accidentally tearing or losing the previous ones so Apollo wanted to give him one that could not be destroyed so easily)

saw someone on twitter joke about the fact that since Loki is a tree now Mobius should be a squirrel and it’s just.. you know that could work right??

In norse mythology there is a squirrel named Ratatosk that is one of the few entities living in the tree of Yggdrasil that is also able to jump between the branches and move around. He mostly uses this ability to pick up gossip and talk hot tea with the other creatures so that they will hate each other.

So yeah. A creature able to jump around different branches of the timeline? Spiritually bound to the tree of life? A bit mischievous and love to talk trash? Mobius is Ratatosk there is no two ways about it
