Bingqiu AU where Luo Binghe's the chosen village sacrifice to the evil deity who lives up the mountain.

Normally the village sends maidens, but they've more or less run out of expendable girls of the right age and, ahem, "virtues". So of course Luo Binghe's early life bad luck kicks in. In the wake of his mother's death there's no one to really care about what happens to him, he's fairly pretty, and the village leaders decide that if they dress him up like a girl the teenaged homeless kid should pass well enough. And hey, y'know, he's probably got a hard life ahead for him anyway -- dying in a brothel of some venereal disease or on the streets of exposure or starvation. At least as a sacrifice, everyone else gets to benefit from his loss! And the kid will get added to a shrine and be remembered as a hero! If anything, he should be happy about this!

Binghe is not happy about this.

But he's also a skinny underfed nobody who is easily overpowered, dressed up like a bride, and tied to a post. So. Not much he can do but wait for the evil deity to come and do whatever horrible thing he's gonna do to him.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan is pretty sure he's been isekai'd into the over-powered hero of some kind of supernatural adventure story? He's not totally sure because he doesn't recognize the setting, but the signs are there. He's got a shrine-like base of operations (though it seems to have become corrupted/ruined, probably he has to restore it somehow), he has a very resilient and handsome new body with spiritual energy of some kind flowing through him, and a very clearly magical sword. Plus lots of neat starter powers! Though it feels like he has other abilities that have been blocked somehow? Probably he has to level up in order to access them.

When he treks out of his "base" and finds what seems to be a distressed maiden, he takes it for his beginner hero mission. The girl claims that she's been doomed to be sacrificed to an evil god. That sounds a little above Shen Yuan's pay grade for dealing with, so he unties her and decides that they had better just get out of the whole region altogether. He already packed up anything useful from his base, anticipating he might get caught up in an adventure once he left, so they follow the river away from the settlement until they reach another one.

While they travel, Luo Binghe tells Shen Yuan about the cursed deity, Shen Qingqiu, who was cast out of the heavens for slaughtering one of his brethren and has apparently being do-who-knows what to maidens from the local village in exchange for his "protection" ever since. Sounds like a real asshole! And also mid-level boss type bad guy at least. Shen Yuan hopes he doesn't have to fight him, but he probably will.

Thank goodness he found Binghe, though! Clearly the helpful little sister type! He's definitely going to require her assistance if he's going to figure out how to navigate this world and level up his skills enough to take on a god.

something about "your anger isn't scary to me" is making me so emotional. something about as above so below, cassandra as a mirror of kristen. something about "I've been dropping the ball a lot lately" and kristen's struggles with adhd. something about teenage girls and rage and fury and justice. something about adaine's vision of ruining fallinel and the sylvaire looking for revenge. something about sadness and doubt and anger and love. something about "I choose to understand" being the absolute core theme of d20 in general. something something.

Dionysus is showing his young sister Euposia a bunch of grapes.

Note: Euposia ("Abundance") is an unusual goddess identified from an inscription found at Sardis. Her name was incomplete, so "Euposia" is just a restoration. I think the name is reasonable since it appears on some Sardian coins featuring a Tyche-like figure and in a Hierapolitan statue dedicated to Thea Euposia.

Euposia is one of the children of Kore, and there is some flimsy evidence suggesting that Dionysus was named ΔIONYCOC KOPAIOC (pertaining to Kore) on Sardis coins. Furthermore, Dionysus is famously known as the son of Kore in myths. It turns out they are brother and sister, at least nominally.

I love those flashback scenes to the 1700s where they try to make armand look really rough, because they make an admirable attempt at fucking up his skin to suggest that he's sweaty and sickly and decrepit and on the verge of starvation and all that but still fundamentally what they've done is make the most beautiful man in the world a little bit pale and shiny

Chaos Magick ideas of Kwain; Let's create our own Deity!

Hello! It's Kwain here, (Formerly known as Kideus), and yesterday I got an idea. What if I embrace the forever chaos witchery in my veins and created my own deity??

Well, I will document my journey here! Any questions are welcome!

Part 1; Creating my Deity

    So. I decided to do something not unheard of, but something fairly rare. Creating my own Deity. 

    The idea came from me searching for a being who is closely tied to Snakes, Death, Life and Rebirth, love and nature. Shouldn't be too hard, right? Well, I could only find someone in that direction and that was Corra, the Celtic Snake goddess. Just a problem with that one...  

    There is next to nothing known of Corra. She is a mystery.

So today, I will try to figure out a couple of things for our new Deity.

1. Archetypes they represent

2. Their name

3. What they rule over.

So, let’s begin!

I decided to go via the of deciding a few of the general archetypes and a few female archetypes, because I wanted them to be Genderless being, not bound by human gender binary. Picture's found from here

So now we have three archetypes picked out! They work with the Feminine Archetypes of Mystic and lover as well, so we will go with these three! Then next up! Their name!

I picked up the name Aspemone, coming from the combination or names Anemone and Aspen.

And lastly, what will they exactly rule over?

Glad you asked!

Snakes, Death, Life, Rebirth, Nature, Love in all it's forms and Creativity!

By Love in all it's forms I mean from parental to romantic to platonic and beyond.

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.

to find comfort in the sickness

[gods-and-accolades]

Something I really love about Apollon, both mythology wise and in my experiences with him, is the air of duality about him.

He’s the God of healing but also the bringer of plagues, he creates light but takes it away just as quickly, he carries his golden lyre and can play the most beautiful melodies but his silver bow and arrows are never too far away, he’s so full of love yet many of his romances end in tragedy, he’s fiercely loyal to those he cares for but ruthless and unforgiving to those who offend him. He’s an artist. He can be joyous and whimsical and see all the beauty in life, but he’s not unwilling to embrace the dark sides of it.

And he does embrace it, and he makes me feel like the more” undesirable” aspects of myself are things that I can embrace too. That I don’t have to be ashamed because I’m not perfect all the time. That my flaws are a part of life and life is beautiful and therefore I am beautiful.

You can have times where you’re angry, upset, miserable and bitter - you could even feel like that more times than not - but that doesn’t mean you’re unworthy of being loved and accepted.

Co-worker who knows that I’m a nerd, “What are your plans for the 4th?”

Me, trying my best to figure out how to explain that the Thunder Saga is dropping for Epic, “Uh, well, YouTube is going to have a premiere for something I’m excited about.”

“Oh? What’s premiering?”

Me, literally stumbling over my words, trying to figure out how to explain Epic.

Him, “It’s something nerdy isn’t it?”

Me, “Yeah, so some guy seemingly got a hyper fixation on the Odyssey during Covid and decided to make a musical about it in parts, and the part with one of my favorite Greek monsters is this one.”

Him, confused cause he 100% was not expecting that type of answer, “Well, I hope it’s good.”
