Be My Favorite has ended just recently, and I am happy that Krist Perawat (Kawi) and "Fluke" Gawin Caskey (Pisaeng) got paired up together for this series. It has been a wild ride coming across twelve episodes in the past few months, and I am happy with how the story turned out~ :3

Well, this Krist peg could have been on this year's birthday badoodles for him—but because we're saying goodbye to Pisaeng and Kawi, I am sharing this right now. 5555555—anyway, I have a separate piece for Krist soon. :P

Thanks for bringing Pisaeng and Kawi into life, Gawin and Krist! You guys brought us pacious* memories that made me believe in love~ :P

*and by "pacious," it's a misspelling of the word "precious," as seen on Krist's cake for Gawin's birthday. anyhow, it has been a pleasure~! :3

I really wanted to make a comic for this but I'm horrible at comics and it's an extremely late post.

A continuation/part two to my favorite/lesser known Hermes epithets because I am a fool and forgot some or found more.

Hermes Psykhostasia - Weigher of souls (lives) or One who weighs souls (lives). In a mix of fulfilling his duty as a guide to all souls and being present before and after death while also being the messenger of Zeus, this aspect shines through. He carries out the will of both the Moirai and Zeus at times and in others he alone holds sway over the decision. Whichever ker (keres) was heavier (to the point of tipping the scales) was the one to die between the two individuals.

Hermes Panepóptēs - All-Observing. It's an epithet I can run with mainly found in the PGM

Hermes Kêryx - Herald of the Gods or Crier for a more rudimentary translation. It's a fairly interesting epithet in regards to naming Hermes as the son of Demeter (identified with Maia). In this specific incarnation, he has special control over the winged Keres in-flight into and out of Demeter Pandora, personified wine-storage jars blamed for all of the ills of humans, where only Hope lingered at the rim.

Hermes Hippios - Of the Horses. Hermes Hippokourios - Horse Tender. Though a rare aspect of his, he does connections with horses in a manner similar to Athene and Artemis. One of his famous sons was known for his skill when it came to handling horses, especially for races. He is also known for gifting the Dioskouroi with their horses and driving the chariot of Hades whenever Persephone enters or departs the underworld. Anyone that owned horses would pray to Hermes so they would thrive and for their increase.

Hermes Araoia / Hermes Araios - The Ram. One of the oldest attestations of the god is found in the Linear B inscriptions at Pylos and Mycenaean Knossos. With this epithet in mind, depictions of Hermes with sheep/ram horns would be fairly appropriate and a part of his appearance I see from time to time.

Hermes Kranaios - Of the Fountain? Of Springs. I know this one was on the last one but I really spaced on getting into why I love and appreciate it. It's a spring/nature sanctuary, one that ties him to water/rivers and what is heavily associated with deities that heal/can heal??? springs and pools of water!!!

In Naxos the dance is to wake a sleeping goddess, surely to wake her from her winter sleep in the spring. It is very tempting to suppose that the Naxian dance was a descendant of the Cretan dances which we know from Minoan and Mycenaean art¹. Now Professor Caskey's excavations in the island of Keos have made such a link plausible². He has discovered a fifteenth-century shrine with terracotta figures, some over life size, of Minoan dancing ladies, one of which was preserved into Classical times when the shrine became a holy place of Dionysos [...]. No god could better awake a sleeping vegetation goddess [Ariadne] than the fertility god Dionysos.
