Anhangá

Tupi Guarani God, In Brazilian legend, Anhangá is a powerful spirit who protects animals, rivers and forests. He is usually represented as a huge white deer with red eyes and pointed antlers.

He usually takes the form of a completely white deer with fiery red eyes.

And so the hero falls, all glory and revenge striped in the briefest of moments, felled by a piercing arrow precise as if guided by the very hands of the Sun.

This one was a very fun one to do tbqh. The Fall of Achilles, after ‘The Fallen Angel’ by Cabanel, for a very dear friend! This baby can fit so many symbolisms, I’m very satisfied with the result! ´v` I hope you like as well!

A guardian snake ablaze. Merely encountering Boitatá can cause blindness, or even madness.

I want a BrzRemus and MexJames fighting in there mother tongue. And they understand eachother.

I want FrSirius to chime in for no other reasons then chaos knowing that all the boys understood eachother, and just start confessing his love for Remus bc chaos.

So the arguing changes to a screaming match about Pokemon to James confessing his love for Lily and Remus confessing his love for chocolat Sirius. But still "arguing".

And so BrzRemus ,FrSirius and MexJames keep on "arguing" with no other purpose then to keep screaming at this point.

Arrive GrmPeter, he does not understand the move, except for Sirius cuz its basics for Sirius to be Sirius. But want to feel included so he start "arguing" too, Sirius style, with them, and scream about how lovly Marys hair was and how he would like to give her gifts bc she is awsome.

So in the common room we would find 4 radio boomboxes in Spanish, Brazilian/Prt, French and German on how much they love thier SO.

Do you have any original works that you hope to share one day? How does naruto inspire you and your writing?

So many original ideas and works in progress you have no idea. So many I want to complete and share one day for sure.

To be very honest I don't take much inspiration from Naruto as a series nowadays - shocking - there's just two things I keep in mind that I've always really liked about Naruto, 1. The characters, I always thought Kishimoto was really great at creating characters (using and developing all of them not so much, but how he comes up with designs and personalities is very fascinating) and 2. How he mixes folklore and mythology into his universe. I'm a huge mythology nerd and quite a few of my original works have myths and legends mixed with different plots and worlds (also a big thing for me to love about rwby). So that is something I like to remind myself and go back to.

Ears red and hot mean someone is talking about you

If someone offered to be your child's godmother/father you couldn't refuse or else it'd bring bad luck to u and the child.

Don't eat anything you find at a graveyard (offerings to the dead or trees w fruits).

Turn shoes around if they're w the sole facing upwards.

Placing a broom outside (like, leaning on the front door or close to it) will repel unwanted guests.

Don't walk under a stair, brings bad luck.

Hit the wood three times to un-jinx yourself, or to "unsay" stuff, as if to not attract whatever bad thing you said.

Eating grapes under a table during the new year's countdown (like, while it goes from Dec 31 to Jan 1), attracts a romantical partner.

Eating a plate of lentils while standing on a chair on this ^ same situation (attracts good luck).

Can't see the bride before the ceremony.

Jumping three waves during the new year's countdown.

Breaking a mirror brings 7 years of bad luck.

To find a lost object jump three times, and "São Longuinho" (a saint) will find it for you.

Don't toast w someone if your cup has an alcoholic drink and theirs don't, you risk having your wishes mixed up.

When getting out of bed in the morning, place your right foot on the ground first, for good luck.

Similarly, when entering a building, do so w your right foot, for the same reason.

I was friendly reminded that O Boto Cor de Rosa is actually an insane concept.

So I'm sure most people here are familiar with the concept of "animal brides" in popular myths. Cool. So in Brazil this concept was translated into the Boto, now the animal itself has the same name and it's a big pink dolphim that is likely the least evil dolphim eve. On the legend tho...

Basically according to legend during certain nights the Boto would leave the water in the form of an extremely handsome man and go to balls to dance and seduce woman, leaving in the morning and being responsable for most if not all pregnancies outside of wedlock (or that were clearly not from the husband). He was just surpernaturally charming and sexy. That being said the Boto always uses a hat, because it still has the usual dolphim air hole. That dees mean that if the guy was too insistent on keeping his hat in bed you know for sure you got an absentee father in case of pregnancy.

For my mutuals that are posting about Greek myth retellings, do you all have thoughts of Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus)?
