Am I starting to actually like Zeus or is it just ovulation? Or the fact that I haven't slept in 24 hours? Find out tonight at 8

Edit: nvm Hera's hotter

Because of recent comments on how some characters are "too buff" this is an appreciating post for @neal-illustrator Zeus' deisgn and how much it inspired mine.

Buff men for the win!

Also please this is not ship art, dont tag it as such or i will block.

if i need motivation to speed up on a jog, my go to songs are scylla (bc they be rowing for their lives while i be running) and thunder bringer bc thunder bringer just makes ME feel like a cocky god while i’m jogging along lmao

That is probably THE best reason to listen to them

[lisalamona]

Sometimes I forget how much of a bop thunder bringer is until I listen to it again

And I have the same reaction every time

How I met your mother, but it's Poseidon and Amphitrite

That's the first part. Should be three of them, but i didn't wrote it because i'm not sure, i mean. I have a plan, but I know myself enough to imagine that i could change my mind during the road, lol

Also, hey! Say hello to Triton!

[lisalamona]

Made me giggle

In my humble opinion

XNDEAD LIBRARY OF MYTHOLOGY

HEYYYY PARTY PEOPLE after a few months of building file-by-file and sharing it around personally, i'm happy to finally show you guys my google drive of greco-roman / filipino mythological and related texts!

before anyone asks, yes! it even includes more obscure sources – from psuedo-apollodorus' library and philostratus' heroica, to hyginus' fabulae and psuedo-ovid's decastich arguments of the aeneid (virgil's aeneid itself too, or course). the entirety of greek drama? i've got you covered (with some latin theatre as well)! we all know homer's iliad and odyssey, they have their own folders with plenty of translations to choose from. dante's divine comedy is also there, because it is.

feedback is welcome and encouraged; can't find a text, or a translation of it? feel free to hit me up so i can look for it! have a text or translation you wanna share? hit me up so i can throw it into a library as well! libraries are a collaborative effort, please enjoy it to your heart's content. ❣️
