DID SOMEBODY ASK FOR WINTER CUTE ART OF TIRINTH? BECAUSE I GOT CUTE WINTER ART FOR TIRINTH
Tumblr media
Finnr with one of his girls, Solveig. Y'all don't worry, the kids won't make an appearance until post book 2, but I wanted to draw them so much lately, so bear with me 😅💕
I missed drawing them in canon clothing, plus, I went wild with the trims and the belts, I really gotta get back to tablet weaving.

✨Mythology & Folklore Retelling Writeblrs Masterpost ✨
So remember a couple months ago when I put out a survey to make a list of writeblrs with myth-retelling/myth-inspired WIPs? Well, I finally put all your responses together!
Below you can find blogs with projects or published works weaving in mythology or folklore, whether it's a retelling or inspired by it. Keep in mind, except for some formatting, I copied these entries directly from the survey.
If anyone does still want to add their WIPs, I'll leave the survey up for now:
Mythology and Folklore Writeblrs and Their WIPs:
@flowerprose
WIP(s): Namesake, a Hades and Persephone myth retelling in which Hades is a skeleton, stripped of his godhood and powers, and Persephone is a young flower maiden, in search of her missing mother. WIP intro, Writing tag
Mythology(ies): Greek Mythology
@violetcancerian
WIP(s): The Dragon and the Herald, Tales of Tirinth, A Song of Three Hundred Spears
Mythology(ies): Arthurian, Irish, Norse, old English
@writeblrfantasy
WIP(s): Queen Artura and the Knights of Arrinshire, a series of stories inspired by the King Arthur tales! I don’t post about it that much, though
Mythology(ies): The King Arthur tales
@lockejhaven
WIP(s): Fable: Servant to Dragon and King
Mythology(ies): Arthurian retelling
@ambiguouspuzuma
WIP(s): I did a three part retelling of the Furies and various Ancient Greek heroes here:
Deianira’s Fury
Ariadne’s Fury
Andromeda’s Fury
I also post regular short stories dipping into other mythology and folklore, featuring golems and sirens and others, including this mash-up of various figures from British mythology: Pantheon
Mythology(ies): Various, mostly Greek
@fearofahumanplanet
WIP(s): The Serpents They Stone - In an alternate version of our world where gods lived alongside humankind and brought them to a new level of technological prosperity, the dreaded World Serpent Jörmungandr reveals herself to have survived Ragnarok while rescuing her villainous old flame, the Phantom Queen Badb. Quickly finding herself pursued by the entire world for the prophecy that promises she will end the world, Jörmungandr dedicates herself to saving Badb from the "Black Pharaoh" that enslaves her - even as Badb is forcibly driven to remain sinister and create chaos.
Miasma - Based on the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland & the later Black Death, the island of Ériu is besieged by the foreign Anglii and their High King is killed. His daughter, Hail, dies with him, but she is resurrected by the serpent goddess Corchen with one objective - to kill King Godric across the ocean, no matter the cost. Her mission soon intertwines with that of a mysterious plague doctor's, who seeks to stop an oncoming plague - one that could spell the end of all life.
Mythology(ies): All, but predominantly Norse, Egyptian, Aztec, Celtic (mostly Welsh/Irish), Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Sumerian, Mayan, Slavic, Hawaiian, Christian, etc.
@nikkywrites
WIP(s): Maidens and Monsters: sapphic retelling of Scylla’s monsterization, in which she is so beautiful, the ocean (and it’s patrons) cannot help but be drawn to her and too much divine attention in one place always leads to ruin.
Light and What Lies Below: In-between of Maidens and Monsters and OH, in which Calypso makes a deal with Hades, creating Davy Jones’ locker before the sailor is even born.
Ocean’s Heart: Dual POV retelling merging Ogygia Calypso with Davy Jones Calypso, in which when he binds her to a mortal body, he binds her to the island as well.
Her Name is Kore: Persephone/Hades retelling in which Kore knows, even as an unannounced goddess, that she is destined to be something more than just Demeter’s daughter.
Mythology(ies): Greek
@abookishdreamer
WIP(s): Kingdom of Ichor (A YA fantasy series) A modern retelling of classic Greek myths with the gods and goddesses being a focal point. Each book in the series will be told in dual POV following a potential couple. I don't know how long I want the series to be, but I do know it's gonna be pretty expansive! The first book is titled Of Flowers and Darkness, which will be a retelling of the myth of Hades & Persephone.
Mythology(ies): Mainly Greek mythology!!!
@galaxialdarktale
WIP(s): A Prophecy Most Divine (only one on my blog atm)
Mythology(ies): It's a made up mythology set, but I've been obsessed with myths since I was like able to read. I have another one that's not yet on my blog that is a retelling of Norse
@wherearetheplants
WIP(s): Fuck Gods (also referred to as WIP MILF). Life has not been kind to those at Nueva Vida Institution, a residential facility for “deeply disturbed” individuals. The institution seems normal from the outside, but a group of friends on the inside think that there’s more to this place than meets the eyes: they think it’s a end-of-life sacrificial home for those the gods have chosen, and that their life-forces are being drained. They’ve decided that before the gods can get to them, they’re going to complete their life-long goals of getting closure. And to do this, they plan to kill some gods.
Mythology(ies): Greek myths are retold through the character arcs and through parallels. Achilles, Sisyphus, Medusa, Icarus, Pandora's Box
@ladywithalamp
WIP(s): (1) A Casting of Lots (2) Where the Blackbirds Roost [both are linked to my pinned post!]
Based on: Greek mythology for ACoL but I've toyed with hints of Slavic mythologies in WtBR though it isn't as fleshed out
@nicola-writes
WIP(s): the other ones, a horror story about a forest that steals your memories and the monsters waiting within.
Mythology(ies): icarus! contains heavy icarus symbolism, and the main character's arc is directly based on that of icarus'.
@stuck-in-this-mortal-form
WIP(s): Children Of The Prophecy aka a story about half demon children, loosely based on various mythologies and urban legends
Mythology(ies): Slavic, bit of Japanese urban legends & other stuff
@maguayans
WIP(s): Elementalia Chronicles: A fantasy series of five books—Maharlika, Charmed, Sunshower, Waves, and Hiwaga—featuring the lore and creatures of Philippine Mythology. Set in the fictitious province called San Andres, following the lives and misadventures of related characters, all while uncovering the secrets of their ancestors and the land. The expanding universe of the series is affectionately named, Elementaliaverse (@elementaliaverse).
Fair Waters: A novella set in Elementalieverse. | The story follows Elias Hernandez, a photojournalist, and aspiring news writer. He finds himself traveling to the northernmost province of the archipelago after discovering the mysterious case of one of its islands. Soon, he realizes the mystery he’s trying to unravel goes as deep as the ocean. And himself, a pawn to more malicious affairs.
Mariang Makiling: A retelling of the legend of Mariang Makiling. | A group hikes across the inland territories of Maquiling to visit its apparent hidden waters. Failing to reach their destination in time, they camp near a burial ground. There, they would discover something ancient and vile.
Mythology(ies): Philippine Mythology
@fanficwriterblockblog
WIP(s): Just Another Fairytale: 12 kingdoms with 12 “princesses”, facing sociopolitical and mythic problems, especially when their pantheon throws them a curveball. A series of 13 novels, each from a different “princess’s” point-of-view, with myth retellings and fairytale retellings
Mythology(ies): Arachne, Odysseus, etc (too tired to think of the others in there, but it’s not just Greek)
@constellationapex
WIP(s): Most Holy
Mythology(ies): As of this moment, I’m mostly tampering with Greek and Roman gods, but I want to expand to Norse folklore soon!
@literallylore
WIP(s): Glass Gods - a thousand years after Ragnarok, Norse deities are reborn on Earth and must fight to protect their world from an army of frost giants set on conquering the planet.
Mythology(ies): Norse
@fruitbatwoman
WIP(s): Tröll, Álfar, Hestar: 3 Magical Short Stories Inspired by Iceland — What if all the myths and legends surrounding Iceland are true? What if there is a troll under every bridge, elves hidden behind the veil, and wicked horses lurking in the water? In this adventurous, romantic, and magical collection of three short stories, fantasy collides with reality, as tourists and travelers experience a modern take on Icelandic folk tales.
Mythology(ies): Icelandic folk tales, Nordic folk tales, Trolls, Huldufólk, Nykur

hi!! for Something Neat Sunday:
my good good friend @writeblrfantasy has been doing an absolutely INCREDIBLE job with her WIP When the Witches Call, both in creating an absolutely amazing world for both WTWC and the blood series!! she's been writing so much, and improving at such an amazing pace, and she just deserves more appreciation :D her excerpts are always absolutely stunning and i am very lucky to call her a friend and see her process unfold <3
ALSO my friend @violetcancerian has been doing a stellar job with NaNo, building a beautiful narrative for the Tales of Tirinth that im so happy i get to see unfold and im so proud of them for everything they've done <3<3<3
Hello, thank you for dropping by for Something Neat Sunday.
OMG I LOVE THE WITCHES CALL!!! I demanded @writeblrfantasy add me to the taglist two excerpts in. It's beautifully written, and I agree that you can definitely see the growth in her style, particularly the emotional scenes, through it. Cannot wait for the day I can sit down with the whole thing and binge read it with a cup of tea ^^ If you all like lgbt+ fantasy, go over and check out her blog now.
A beautiful narrative is a tough thing to properly build in the mad rush of nano, but it sounds like @violetcancerian is doing an excellent job over there and should be proud of it! :D

Hopefully this will lighten up a little bit of your time so to reference your post! 💕💕💕 The title of my WIP now is "Tales of Tirinth: The Battle of Five Hills" and a like, you got regicide, magic, werewolves, the fairy realm 😂
Here's a small excerpt featuring Doran's point of view:
Something white floated towards him in the infinite nothing, and when it came closer he realized it was a boat...well, somewhat. It looked like a giant hollowed log, and what he thought was a white cloud was actually a sail secured to a sturdy mast.
yeeeeeees, andy!! take my money!! i need this!!
also can we talk about how cute that boat sounds? I'm in love
👉 talk to me about your wip so i can get excited about it and convince everyone in the world to read it 👈

I'm gonna post this on instagram, but I wanted to share it onto here. They don't really make an appearance until Book 3, and obviously not this grown up, but I wanted to see them like this. The feeling when your OT3 has kids that are complete chaos, that's those three.
Right to Left:
Magnar: The oldest, the calmest, training to be a bard.
Solveig: The baby sister, witch blood, and a ray of sunshine on a good day.
Diarmaid: The middle child, kind of reckless, but he's a good warrior, and has his siblings' backs. Favorite weapon of course, his bearded axe.

I wanna say first that maybe the reason it's a lot of pages and the word count doesn't add up is because I always use 1.5 spacing and "Add space before and after each paragraph" because otherwise my eyes will just get very tired very easily and the words will jumble together.
BUT for the road trip AU that I have of my OT3 for Tirinth, it's at 30k words and about 115 pages so yeah IDK how the fuck that happened in these last five months

Finnr's character portraits finished! (Liath and Arne's are next!) Loosely based off the song "Soldier, Poet, King" it's also on my writer Instagram if y'all wanna check it out!

I am also very proud of how much my art has improved over this 2022 (having gotten the drawing tablet on Dic. 24, 2021), and the first thing I drew was my boy! So why not end the year with him as well?
*based his helm off the Sutton Hoo helmet
*and his buckle off the Finglesham brooch

A scene from the road trip AU set in 1979, and since canon Finnr does magic, then he’s also into magic in this bit. Also, for reference, Liath’s hands are broken and scarred. 
This nearly gave me carpal tunnel, holy fuck 
Tumblr media
"Huh, that's weird," Finnr raised an eyebrow, squinting at her hand. Liath looked between it and him, "What?" "Your heart line splits into two and then it connects again," he said, tracing his fingers over the lines of her palm. "Is that normal?" "Dunno," he replied, looking at her. "Mine and Arne's do the same but we've never seen it on someone else." Liath gulped, unsure what that means, what to take from it. "Anything else?" Finnr scooted closer, "Well, life line is pretty solid, and long. You won't have to worry about dying anytime soon," he gave her a smile. "Fate line is jagged, but it cuts straight across your health and head lines and into your heart line, stopping there. I guess the path to the heart is never easy."

“How did the boy get the scars?” “Nearly escaped the Night Beast” 
Tw: Blood and gore 
Tumblr media
The feeling when you’re twelve and there’s a mysterious raider with his warriors that attacks your village, takes all the abled boys, almost taking you, and you barely escape. But now you got trauma and some pretty sick scars
I’m actually VERY proud of myself for this one holy crap!!

POV: You’re almost taken by raiders when you’re twelve, receive facial scarring because you put up a fight and that’s how you survived, you grow up to become a warrior, you go through some more heavy stuff, you meet people that genuinely care about you and love you, and in the end, you make things work with them, and you turn out alright.

The feeling when a story that was meant for shits and giggles ends up now being 14 chapters and a little over 50k, I don't know what I've done

Because my phone was being silly and did not let me post it, here’s the comic I made of my Tirinth rock band AU featuring the OT3, Liath, Finnr, and Arne, the makeup inspired by a friend’s band that’s ghoulish and absolutely amazing in every way!! 
Dusty puts up with way too much crap that his friends do.

Get you someone who looks at you like Finnr looks at Liath

More 70s AU nonsense (I've started drawing Dusty but Doran wanted a scene 😂)
Tumblr media
Sketched this at the library and then did it digital on Krita
I see the girls walk by Dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head Until my darkness goes I see a line of cars And they're all painted black With flowers and my love Both never to come back
