#‘campuseidon

[sanctuaryofspirits]

Ready for Campuseidon?

Gods… Ok- So- I have posted these pictures on my Bluesky, but not here yet! Cloudysseus belongs to @kdpartworks with the original designs for them is by @/neal-illustrator!

I forgot ‘Campuseidon’s gills in the original post of my Bluesky. I will be detailing this illustration without Poseidon to actually show the harness he often wears. I will also be adding his jewelry and wild celery wreath as well. I just didn’t want to add the additions after painting the background, which will be edited once I get to editing the sketch.

But yeah! So fun little fact about the dangling jewel: It’s a Cat’s Eye Aquamarine. I didn’t want to add explicit eye imagery since Poseidon is known to have the most children in Greek mythology, so I decided to just adding explicit Polyphemus imagery wasn’t what I wanted to go for. Though, my Poseidon is also very protective of his immediate family. So, I decided the Cat’s Eyes Aquamarine as a nod to Polyphemus was a decent compromise.

Also, as a note: My Poseidon has 3 forms he takes- Monstrous (40 ft tall), Humanoid (16 ft tall), and Human (6’3” tall). My Ody is around 5’5”-5’8”. I just leaned into him being 5’5” when comparing sizes.

Once I have the monstrous forms for the first six Olympians (Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus) done, I will be going into a lore dump for each character and how they fit into my canon.

Only big things are that blood is different between Primordials, Titans, Gods, and Demigods.

Primordials: Red blood- They’re from which humanity came from, clay (with help from Prometheus and Athena, but the bodies were created from the mud and clay that was a part of Gaia). Their blood, though, glimmers like rubies instead of a more crimson color like our own.

Titans: This is something only in my canon! In my canon, the Titans were the first to taste nectar and ambrosia. So, their blood was stained orange. This is when their eyes began to glow as well. Though, for them, it was a dim glow. They didn’t get anymore nectar or ambrosia, so it stayed stained after the overthrowing of the titans.

Gods: Just like in mythology, it’s an Ichor gold! Their eyes glow brightly from the constant tastes of ambrosia and nectar.

Demigods: They have flecks of Ichor amongst the crimson in their blood, which sometimes can reflect in their eyes. Especially when individuals are born with albinism. Their eyes, unlike a titan or god, do not glow, much like the Primordials.

Note: None of the deities are related by blood. Each of them contains the essence of who created them and a little bit of Chaos. Their relationships are typically misconstrued by the mortal mind. Some do see each other as siblings, especially those born to human parents, but none are blood related.

Anyway! More lore is to come. When I get the ‘Campuseidon illustration done, I’ll go more in depth with him specifically. I just wanted to give an overview to my canon. There’s still more to come. Let’s see if I can slowly get into drawing humans so I can group everything together neatly

[tyr-the-fenrir]

Posting on main to not clog where I do my art (if you wanna see it, my side blog is @sanctuaryofspirits)

Anyway! So- ‘Campuseidon is extremely volatile and has severe mood swings. Tends to force the tendencies down with flirtatious or spicier acts. So- not many places would be willing to take a loose cannon like him.

With that in mind, ‘Campuseidon does freelance work, or works as a lifeguard, surprisingly well actually. He’s also big on ocean related activism since well- that’s the domain he’s most known for.

But if he’s volatile, why can he work as a lifeguard? Well, it’s because, despite everything, safety is his top priority. (and also because he thinks Zeus is dumb enough to find a way to drown himself if he were in human disguise just to scare him.) As much as he’s angry, he genuinely wants to be helpful and keep others safe.

Freelance, I wouldn’t exactly know of what. Probably just being an activist influencer I guess? Like, probably states he worked as a marine biologist at some point and it kinda just stuck since he knows the happenings in the ocean. Gets really upset when seeing hate comments, but typically goes to a pub or something to ease the ache.

And no, he absolutely refuses to put his kids on camera. Especially if we’re talking about his son, Polyphemus (who was born without an eye.) Overall good dad in that regard. Though did make life a living hell for reincarnated Odysseus for accidentally almost poking out his son’s eye. He’s petty, and this is just a repeat of history for him so he absolutely refuses to let go.

Other than that, if he’s not around his wife and kids, he’s probably hanging out with the rest of his family. Especially his siblings since they all have a close bond. Though, probably doesn’t hang around Zeus too often since his younger brother is a lot more active in well- let’s just say he’s in more adult industries. And is much more of your typical influencer (though he does have a lot more grace than most since he really plays into the hospitality aspect of himself.) Poseidon just doesn’t want that same sort of attention, despite being a serial flirt himself. More so than Zeus surprisingly.

That’s just my personal headcanons for ‘Campuseidon. He’s a good dad- but he’ll be damned if he sees the reincarnated version of Odysseus

POSEIDONVERSE WRITERS/ARTISTS

If your Poseidon was in modern times and had a mortal disguise (including occupation and bonds with others), what would it be?

I need it for… Science. Drop it in reblogs or comments if possible <3

Totally not planning to do some writing.

And yes I was absolutely inspired by someone’s art of reincarnated Odysseus. I don’t remember who SOBS

I regret to inform you that I am not a kind god if you decide to disrespect me, my family, or my domain. I can be as temperamental as the winds, and they’re arguably worse than I. Or I can be as gentle as the warmth in one of my nephew’s, Apollo’s, songs. Either way, I am a formidable foe and a force to be reckoned with once my favor is lost. The sea rarely gives second chances. And I will not me take for a fool again. I will not be OvErPoWeRED BY ANY FORCE EVER AGAIN!

Test me… if you dare…

Appearance:

Link to the primary appearance here

Monsterous-

Sharp toothed, hippocampus-like creature with fin-like ears and mane. The fish half is similar to a Bluntnose six-gill shark. Sometimes it is only the tail and still has the hind quarters of a horse depending on the area he’s in and what domain he’s exactly invoking. He has horns similar to that of the Crete cattle. Poseidon has glowing ichor eyes with lighter, golden pupils. He has three gills on either side of his neck, and three gills along either side of his torso. His face can be mistaken for a kelpie taking the form of a black coated Zakynthos horse. Though, more accurately, it’s a combination of the Zakynthos horse’s face, and Cetus’ tooth structure. There are tentril-like stingers along the browline, and along the jawline where it splits at the throat. He has a primarily black and blue color palette with a light tealish-green spotting of bioluminescence. There is some counter shading going on with the coat. In this form, he is normally around 40 feet tall, but shrinks to size if around his children (such as Polyphemus, where Poseidon would be about 15 feet tall around him in times of comforting his son, who’s 14 feet tall.) The flocking at the back of his hooves turns into additional fin webbing. The tentacle-like tendrils sometimes have a mind of their own

Post “600 Strike”: The scars from his own trident glow the same color as his eyes, ichor gold. This is only from the trident scars and not Odysseus’ sword. Total trident scars should be around 24. Those scars are as thin as paper cuts (aka: I don’t need to draw them unless it’s very up close and personal.) The sword scars glow a magnificent Egyptian blue color.

Humanoid-

Poseidon retains his part fin-like/part horse-like ears, horns, and tail. The tail is minimized to be a bit more practical. The lower half of his legs are horse-like in shape and his forearms keep their fins. He does also retain the twelve gills he has on his body. His teeth are sharp, but look much more human, so his canines are extended slightly. His skin has a natural tan to it, as if he’s at the beach all day. His hair is long, slightly wavy, and black, besides two tendrils that end up getting braided into the sideburns. These tendrils still have their bioluminescence, and it spreads into the light tealish-green “freckles” on his face. He has the body of a swimmer (Michael Phelps inspiration possibly?) and his chin is accentuated by a short, black beard. His eyes are a cerulean color with a dim glow. He has bigger spots all across his body that glow that same light tealish-green color, a testament to how brutally his father, Cronus, ate him specifically. Often, he is around 16 feet tall in this form. There are some lines of age, but his face is almost always in an annoyed, frustrated scowl.

Post “600 Strike”: The scars from his own trident glow an ichor gold color. This is only from the trident scars and not Odysseus’ sword. Total trident scars should be around 24. The scars from the sword are not prominent other than when they were still fresh from the attack.

Human-

Poseidon still has tanned skin and black hair, but his hair texture is similar to a tight beach curl/loose coil. The light tealish-green freckles and spots lose their “unnatural” coloration. The freckles are a darker color than his skin while the rest of his scars are a slightly lighter, almost silvery, color. His physique is more muscular, but still akin to an Olympic level swimmer.

Post “600 Strike”: The scars from his own trident faintly glow an ichor gold color, but only the gods, demigods, or those acutely aware of the divine can perceive the glow. This is only from the trident scars and not Odysseus’ sword. Total trident scars should be around 24.

Out of curiosity? How tall is your Poseidon? I’m trying to wriggle my way into the Poseidon verse with my boy (‘Campuseidon). Though, he typically averages around 16 feet tall so I kinda have to be aware of the other Poseidons’ heights

Here’s the boy for reference

My Poseidon is comfortable at around 7ft usually, but his size can shift and fluctuate depending on the situation so he easily goes up to 10 or more if needed.

Especially if Odysseus is nearby...

Your design is pretty gorgeous btw! I love the slight dark ocean-colored parts in his hair that match his horns. Plus little spots all over the place make him a bit unique

[sonofareschampionofhades]

I’m Back!

So! Still sorta depressed, but I’m feeling sort of up to the task to answer asks! No huge rps, but if you wanna ask or do small rps then feel free.

I will be making a notice on my Zeus account soon! I’m going to do MAJOR updates to that one but it’s relatively the same!

Another note! I am making a Poseidon blog since I now have an official design for my Poseidon (lovingly called ‘Campuseidon since that’s technically what he is. Reference to him is on my art account @sanctuaryofspirits)

Poseidon will still be HEAVILY EPIC based, but I have my own lore I’m working out.

[kingoftheruthlesswaters]

Mod Orion: Thank you! I’ve been trying to go into this but didn’t know how in all honesty. There’s so many amazing artists here. Also, ‘Campuseidon likes to bite, but he means well. It’s all platonic to him

“Pleasure to meet you- other me? This multiverse situation is all new to me so I don’t particularly get all of the ebbs and flows of it. Though, I must say, you are quite dashing to look at,” *Poseidon purrs, his voice a low rumble like waves crashing onto the shoreline. Cobalt eyes flickering curiously at Starseidon as he stepped closer, leaving hoof prints in the sand*

(OOC from @kingoftheruthlesswaters)

Hello! Just wanted to say that your Starseidon is absolutely adorable! Admittedly I do have a soft spot for starry/night sky themed characters!

I may interact soon as ‘Campuseidon if you’re fine with Poseidonverse interactions!

I’m perfectly fine with I do appreciate you asking go right ahead and Starseidon will be honored to meet the others

Starseidon : *nod*

[sanctuaryofspirits]

Campuseidon Update!

Note: Ken doll anatomy for later reference for clothing. There is no NSFW here!

Anyway, with that out of the way: here’s ‘Campuseidon in his humanoid form! Super messy sketch because I wanted an idea from my description on Poseidon’s humanoid form I typed out.

Something to note with ‘Campuseidon is that he has several spots along his body. Especially the ones that glow an ocean green. These ones specifically are from Cronus chewing and breaking his bones! So yes, if Antinous did complete what he said he’d do in Hold Them Down, Poseidon is gossiping with everyone who’ll listen, especially Odysseus, because he knows too well how it feels for bones to break. Besides that, I’m probably not adding his post “600 Strike” scars as that is 24-ish puncture wounds that’ll be glowing an ichor gold. Especially when doing a chibi. Plus the sword strikes are like- around as thin as a paper cut so that would be counter productive to add all of them.

Humanoid!‘Campuseidon does not cover his upper half outside of a golden metal front plate harness, with the back being made of the finest leather. May add his horn rings + diadem combo as well. Though he’s wearing his chiton and himation like a skirt. The chiton is thinner, white, and is longer. His himation is shorter, is lapis blue, and thicker. The himation also has some seaweed patterns. I will be adding armbands and greaves to him too.

Basically just semi-formal look.

As another fun little note to his design! When I finally can draw up a proper design, his beard is very reminiscent of his trident! He also has a 5 o’clock shadow mustache. Everything is pretty close to the face, so it’s not a “run your fingers through the beard” length. It’s just long enough that it’s not prickly

[sanctuaryofspirits]

OK I GOT THIS DONE YESTERDAY BUT WANTED TO POST TODAY!

Anyway- didn’t render for simplicity purposes!

So I didn’t end up adding his accessories. It would’ve covered too much to add.

So- some design inspirations I had were the hippocampus, Cetus, bull, shark, and jellyfish! The jellyfish comes out in his hair as those lighter blue. Those indeed are tentacles that have a bit of a mind of their own. I decided that Cetus was another inspiration because I had the thought of having Kelpie in there for the sharp teeth, but it didn’t really set right. With Cetus’ sharp teeth and clawed fins, it made sense.

Note: Humanoid!‘Campuseidon has clawed hands. Because this is a chibi, I didn’t see it important to draw that. Doesn’t have webbing between the fingers though. In this form, he’s typically 16 feet tall, but the smallest he can shrink down to is 6’3”. (I know this’ll help the artists out there who need size comparisons like me.)

Anyway! Here’s ‘Campuseidon without the clothes!

I have reasons as to why I put the wording I did. Specifically looking at some of the more horny Poseidons when I say this.

Long story short, I have the nsfw art on my secondary (more explicitly NSFW) Bluesky account. If you find it, cool, but I’m not linking it as I have seen minors around my blog. I’ll update my intro to link to my more sfw blog.

Once I get the big 6 done, I’ll get into their lore and how their personalities correlate to their current ones and the traumas endured by their father.

I will note! ‘Campuseidon did try to overthrow Zeus at one point. He’s a very bitter and volatile Poseidon. He tends to flirt as a means to deflect. Though, he can flip a switch involuntarily and will either snap, or be giddy in a very cruel sense. Being the fourth born (not the fifth, will explain more in the big 6 master post), he holds a lot of emotions. Though, that’s all I can say without spoiling information.

Just know, any relationship he’s in, ‘Campuseidon is very dominant and protective (especially over his family.) Though, if one is willing to be as violent as the waves he commands, he may crack and allow himself to be taken care of

[sanctuaryofspirits]

OK, SO WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SLEEP ON THIS FOR EVERYONE WHO ENJOYS "IN VAIN"

Will be doing art based on this mashup for 'Campuseidon.

I love the emotion ( this is exactly how I see 'Campuseidon with his own son and motivations) Poseidon shows in this song while mixing with "Get In The Water".

[tyr-the-fenrir]

Gods- let me tell you about another tumblr-loved self ship of the Onceler from the Lorax movie. There’s also Bill Cipher as well and is arguably closer in comparison to the Poseidonverse, and is extremely similar to sanscest since it’s just a bunch of AU bills in a room.

Actually- you can look into it on YouTube. I know someone went deep into researching Onceler selfcest. I’ve watched it before because I missed out on those years of the internet

(Then again, don’t mind me. I’m just quietly shipping ‘Campuseidon mentally with just about every Poseidon in this multiverse. He’s my baby and I have traumatized him like I have for all of my original characters… it’s just worse ‘cause he has preconceived traumas because of him also being Poseidon.)

question for the cc, WHY IS EVERYONE SHIPPING THEIR POSEIDON DESIGN?! IT'S LIKE GLITCHTRAP AND WILLIAM AFTON ALL OVER AGAIN!!

[sanctuaryofspirits]

So- like- I’m looking at the interactions of Messy’s Poseidon and Cryptid’s Poseidon and my mind immediately thought, “Well- damn- gotta keep my monstrous forms away from Cryptid’s universe if gold/ichor is canonically Kronos’ eye color there…”

This is because, in my personal headcannon/lore, Primordials have ruby red blood, titans have an amber orange or a fiery orange blood, and the gods have ichor/gold blood. (I haven’t thought about daemons/personifications yet, but assume that they have the same ichor/gold color, but a slightly brighter hue.) This reflects into their eyes when they’re in their monstrous forms. What they consider their “True Form” as gods.

At least I have a concept done for a less traumatizing appearance to those in both the Poseidonverse and Zeusverse. I actually just finished my Poseidon’s humanoid form chib (lovingly calling him ‘Campuseidon because his monstrous form is literally a very stylized hippocampus mashup.)

I genuinely wanna interact but I’m fucking nervous ‘cause everyone’s art is so damn good. Like- fucking hell everyone is so talented-

Will be posting the clothed version tomorrow and a nsfw version on my Bluesky (for the love of the gods, please don’t interact with me there as it’s an 18+ only account for my comfortability.)

On that topic, this is also an 18+ account! Especially for comfortability reasons because when I do vent art, it can be graphic! Blood and gore mostly, but I still would like to reiterate that fact. It is literally in my DNI that I don’t want minors interacting with me here

Edit/Note: I will be rectifying this when I get onto my computer and am able to block accounts that either A) don’t have an age; or B) explicitly state they’re a minor

Gods- some of the good shit for that specifically is on Bluesky. I have dabbled my toes a little bit into the Poseidonverse with ‘Campuseidon. Mostly KDP’s Cloudysseus since it was the simplest to draw for me. I think I’m the only one so far taking the goat approach to Zeus instead of the normal bull.

Tbh, the horns going back feels more natural for Zeus. He just seems like the brother who doesn’t want to hide an inch of his face. Poseidon is ruthless, so bull. Then Hades is just exhausted, introverted older brother vibes so ram horns.

I think my favorite designs for the big three brothers gotta be Biggerm’s Hades (and Ody), Local Cryptid’s Poseidon, and Nilo’s Zeus. Idk, the vibes just hit right for me there

hate when someone goes “ewww why would you make those characters have an awful unhealthy toxicstyle relationship that’s so gross nobody should ever read that.” well i am actually a small and repulsive creature and i live in a cave and i’m endangered and if i don’t read stories about characters who have a relationship that is bad for both of them & makes everything worse then i will die. and here you are saying i ought to be shot in the head. here you are trying to take me out back behind the barn. i’m not even hurting anyone and you hate me just because of my many hideous eyes that look like gelatinous piles of goo. and my diet is only raw fish

[kingoftheruthlesswaters]

“Your voice is like whale song, music to my ears,” *he cooed, eyes glimmering like gems in the moonlight. He unbraided his hair to allow the tendrils, only two in total, on either side have freedom to move as they pleased. He soon spoke again, voice gentle and soft,* “If rumor serves correct from Hermes, it’s a surprise another one of us hasn’t captured you yet to add to their growing hoard. A shame, but then again, being as free and fluid as the water is our nature.” *‘Campuseidon leaned in close before gently nipping at Starseidon’s ear. He pulled back as he gave a soft chuckle,* “We’re friends now. I should probably warn you- I enjoy biting those I keep close. Though I know my own strength to hold back enough.”
