Martha and Religion

Considering this lady was born in the late 1400s; there was a wide portion of time she was heavily pushed into Catholicism for about a century ish. After the death of her wife in 1598 however she felt abandoned by the god she had been pushed into believing in.

She has cycled between abandoning her belief in the gods and going back to different pantheons for semblances of old comforts.

Martha has cycled between pantheons throughout her long life but has ultimately felt the most connection to the Greek gods. She only has 3 altars in her home and they are in different areas depending on who they are for.

1. Hades (@ fierydisposition)

He is a god she has met in person, and it was a complete accident. Now she keeps a altar to him in the central area of her home.The table is somewhat small, a simple sidetable made of walnut. A black table runner is laid atop it, with silver embroidery of narcissus leaves and flowers. In the center-front, a silver platter where she leaves offerings of fresh peaches that hades collects at his leisure. To the left of the platter is a silver goblet always filled with fresh water; which she refreshes every day. The back right corner is occupied by a statue of a screech owl, the opposite corner by a pot of mint allowed to grow and drape across the back half of the altar though she does tend to it to keep it from getting messy or too long.

2. Hermes

Being that she is nomadic by nature and Hermes is the god of travelers, she technically started devotionals to Hermes before any of the others. She does not remember when she started doing small devotional acts to the god, exactly though. She wears a coin she found while traveling when she was young, which has a caduceus on it, as a necklace on a long leather cord which is always hidden under her clothes while she is on the move. While she is stationary in a home it is hung on a hook above Hermes' altar. Only in the last 150 years or so did she build a true altar for Hermes, when she got truly comfortable in her craft to include the gods but small devotionals have been much longer. His altar is at the opposite end of her living room, adjacent to a large window overlooking the nature scenery outside. It is a side table of walnut just as Hades' is. His is set with a gold table runner, decorated in tawny embroidery of plants from all of the different areas of the world she's traveled. Some of which no longer exist outside areas protected by men. The center piece of his altar is a carved wooden box of cherry, arbutus berries carved into the lid. Full of rare coins and small, random trinkets from her travels. Sat next to it is a wooden goblet she semi regularly fills with a strawberry mead; when not filled with an offering of mead it has fresh water. The right corner houses a incense bowl, with sand and several yellow crystals; the center in the back is a statue of hermes himself and the back left corner is a pot of crocus flowers. The water from his offering goblet is used to water the flowers when she refreshes is as they need it.

3. Dionysus

Dionysus' altar is the only one that doesnt have a specific.....purpose. She isnt sure why she was drawn to make a altar for him honestly but just....did it. Martha did her research on what he liked and put the altar together, not questioning /why/ too much. It's a side table of walnut just like the other two; his table runner is a dark red with purple embroidery of leopard rosettes. At the front of his altar is a brass goblet embossed with grapevines and leaves. He is the only god which she shares wine with as part of the libations and is the only one in her bedroom. The back center of the altar holds a cycling fountain, but instead of water, it holds wine. To the right of the fountain is some pinecones and the left is a pot of ivy which, like hades' altar is allowed to overgrow and drape across the back third of the space. The middle of the space holds an abalone shell filled with various purple, green and brown tumbled crystals.

sol is going to take the marker, and draw a little morel mushroom on the side of her shoulder, sticking out his tongue in concentration the whole while.

Martha was focused on a drawing she was doing so didnt even notice the sensation of the marker---she didnt have much feeling left in that shoulder anyway.

It was her crew's giggling that alerted her to something going on--and sol's shadow on the ground. Turning her head to look at him, the god's tongue poking out in concentration made her chuckle. "Sol, dear, whatre you doing?"

[devilofthecresentisle]

"Yes yes yes im almost done!" She laughed, capping the marker and holding up a small pocket mirror for him to look at the little doodle on his face.

@devilofthecresentisle asked:

Martha is drawing a little meerkat doodle on Sol's cheek with a giggle. With the nickname of 'sun angels' and a love of sunbathing she thought it was fitting

was he giggling along with her because of how the feeling of the marker was tickling the skin of his cheek? yes. but he was doing his best to stay still even though he wanted more than anything to know how it looked!

"you done yet, martha?"

[devilofthecresentisle]

Grab a marker and write something on my muse! (Anywhere on their body)

Martha's closest friends in her One Piece verse somehow ended up being Cavendish and Buggy

And I will forever find it hilarious

"Is it really a problem if everyones into it"

"....YES, I WOULD LIKE TO BREED SOME OF YOU. YES, I HAVE PROBLEM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

puts cocaine in my lipgloss so when he kisses me he thinks im god

[devilofthecresentisle]

"Yes, you did." The witch chirped with a slight chuckle, not even looking up from the little journal in her hands.

"Though if you're familiar with any of the local dungeons, it's not hard to find people who are into that sort of thing."

"I just wanna tie some people up and leave them helpless under all the things I could do them and then blindfold to make even worse...."

".....I said that out loud didn't I."

[devilofthecresentisle]

"Oh dont get me wrong, I have standing connections that I know. Mutually beneficial, safe, and fun to boot; though only a couple. Sleeping with friends, not on your own crew at least, can be quite beneficial. To be fair Im a captain so my position allows different certainties with that." A fallout between them wouldnt put her relationships in danger the same way they would were she lower on the crew totem pole.

" Single experiences for me are for those random urges at port that my bodice rippers cant satisfy and those friends arent in convenient distance."

"A touch off the original topic, but I think you know a pirate has gained true popularity when they have a bodice ripper written about them."

The navigator nods sagely. ❝ It's why I prefer single experiences over hooking up with people I know. There is already an emotional connection there, and it can get tangled very quickly. ❞

A hypocrite, really.

[devilofthecresentisle]

"You get me" She chuckled with a nod. "Its..." The captain mulled over the proper words.

"vulnerable....and vulnerability isnt exactly something we let flow like gossip with our lifestyle."

Nami hums as she mulls over Martha's words. ❝ It does, ❞ she agrees. ❝ It feels more emotional since there are so many ways to communicate that way and you're facing the other person directly to do it. A hookup is just as you define it. Kissing can be more. ❞

[devilofthecresentisle]

"Oh absolutely! Sometimes I dont want the whole thing---a good makeout is enough with a established person for me sometimes. A random person though? Not as much with them. Feels /too/ intimate for just a random person."

❝ That depends on who you're doing it with and what occurs, I'd say! ❞

[devilofthecresentisle]

"Youre only nineteen!? I only have one official member your age--and hes strictly non-combat. Gosh....almost makes me feel old...." The shock clear on her face, rubbing one hand against her cheek.

"you really don't know? huh, thought we would have told you at some point..but yeah me and luffy are both nineteen..out of all of us chopper is the youngest and as you would expect, brook's the old man of the group."
