#Isis x Nephthys

[auduux]

I love how we can ship historical figures on here and no one calls us weird

[lesbian-iphigenia]

Holaaa, ya que eres chilena espero que no te moleste que te escriba en español, se me hace más cómodo ya que aún estoy practicando el inglés, pero como también eres latina entonces pensé "¿Por qué no?" Y acá estamos (si no te gusta no tengas problemas en decirlo)

Bueno primero decir que me alegra ver que existe un fan de ifigenia que cuando habla de ella no se centra solo en Agamenón y Clitmenestra, es refrescante cuando las charlas sobre ella giran en torno a ella como personaje en lugar de terceros, ella es uno de mis personajes trágicos favoritos junto con Antigona

Bueno algo que quería preguntar y no tiene mucho que ver, y es si tienes alguna otra pareja favorita en la mitologia aparte de Hermione y Orestes (no tiene que ser solo de mitologia griega, ya que reblogueas mucho sobre mitologia egipcia) , yo también lo amo a Hermione y Orestes y me encanta cuando la gente habla de ellos! Y entonces me causo curiosidad saber si te gusta alguna otra pareja

Aahhh gracias por el ask!!! Es bueno saber que hay más personas en el mundo q les interesa Ifigenia como personaje trágico ^^

Y con respecto a pareja mitológicas q me gusten...mmmhhh depende!

Si hablamos de parejas "canon" (por decirles de alguna forma) en la Mitología: Afrodita x Ares es una de mis favs entre las parejas de dioses! Entre mortal y dios, serían Dioniso x Ariadna, Dioniso x Ámpelo, Endimión x Selene y Zeus x Semele (ese último es mi gusto culposo!) Y entre dos mortales, serían Menelao x Helena (cuando me pongo a pensar en los paralelos Ovidio hace con ellos y Hermíone x Orestes yo me muero 💕💕💕), Andromaca x Héctor es otra de mi favs, tal vez Electra x Pílades?? Me gustan más como ship platónica que como romántico pero tampoco me molestó si los shippean. En la mitología egipcia recién me empece a meter, pero me gusta mucho Isis x Osiris, Horus x Hathor y Ra x Hathor!

Si hablamos de parejas "no canónicas": Demeter x Hecate tiene q ser mi ship principal 💕💕 yo las amo son mi mamis. También me gusta mucho Artemisa x Ifigenia, son mi ship más culposo!! Hay algo en la dinámica de sacerdotisa x su diosa que me puede!!! También me gusta Artemis x Callisto, son mis lesbianas trágicas. Iris x Hera me gusta como one-sided 🤭 Orestes x Pílades también es muy bueno!! Ellos están una área más gris pq aunque no eran considerados amantes, su relación si se entendía como homoerotica, Hermíone x Electra es otro gusto culposo mío 🤭 Creo que con la versión donde crecen juntas hay mucho potencial para hacer algo divertido con su relación. Con respecto a la Mitología egipcia, estoy muy interesada en Horus x Set y Isis x Neftis, ambos son conocidos por ser de las pocas parejas del mismo sexo representadas frecuentemente en los dibujos de los dioses (no parejas en el sentido romántico, pero pareja en el sentido de literalmente ser dibujos uno al lado del otro). Horus x Set también están en esta área gris que mencione antes, pq aunque hay literalmente un mito donde tienen sexo su relación no es romántica

Gracias por el ask, y perdón por la respuesta tan larga jsjsjs

Mofun Collab ENNEAD cafe event from 24 November 2023-24 December 2023, with new merch + food in Seoul, Korea

So a cafe in Seoul is doing an ENNEAD event from late November to December, where people can reserve spots to go eat there and reserve merch to buy. This includes some new art and old art on new merch, for posters, coasters, art cards, acrylic standees, light-up displays, enamel pins, stickers, and at the cafe, a line of drinks and snacks. The store on Mofun is open and ships internationally! One proxy linked at the bottom beneath the Keep reading. Mofun is going to stop taking pre-orders after 24 December 2023 KST, so it's unclear if the merch will be available to order after that point.

Some proxies are popping up in different places. Koonbooks (the main international proxy for ENNEAD merch) is listing most of the merch, but it's at a high mark-up, even for them, and that's before the cost of shipping.

If you look for a proxy, keep an eye out on price versus shipping and any other fees you might be paying, particularly if you need more than one proxy. The Korean prices are listed on the images in the tweets above if you want to see just how much more you're paying for your proxy (with the caveat those Korean prices don't include taxes or shipping fees you'd have to be paying for other services).

Yandere Seth, Yandere Anubis, Yandere Horus x reader.

Notice: In my previous requests I asked for a single Yandere Seth or Yandere Anubis with a reader who is the eldest daughter of Osiris. But I would like to see how he deals with three at the same time (I don't know if you do this separately or from different perspectives, I hope you do it as I explain, please). A story idea, fem reader has known Anubis since he was born and they grew up as cousins, Lectora being the older of the two. Since he was a child, Anubis has loved her. Then it happened that Seth kills Osiris. The fem reader has to escape with her mother. There he meets his second little brother, Horus. fem reader takes great care of him and tries to ensure that Horus has a normal childhood. Later, when she grows up, fem reader becomes the goddess of hope and dawn (I find it curious). Seth hates Lectora, but after she followed him to help him in his punishment, they fall in love with Seth and the fem reader.

(I don't know if it seems like a lot to you, I'll see if it takes you too long to do it. Another thing I must tell you to make it clear, in Anubis he is both the demigod version and his version in favor of God and Horus loves both Seth and the reader)

And before I leave, the reader only fell in love with Seth (sorry, he's my favorite of the three).

thank you

Seth is my favorite as well too so I understand lol, I’ll also do them at the same time as I think it’ll work best for your request so I hope you don’t mind that 😁😅.

Warning: noob author, female reader, yandere romantic characters.

Characters: Seth, Anubis, Horus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You, daughter of Isis and Osiris, eldest of child to the two and future elder sister to Horus. In the past you and Anubis were cousins; though you knew what had happened between Nephthys and your father so you know Anubis is actually your little brother but kept quiet as you didn’t want to know the tragedy that would happen if you told, and was childhood friends but soon you had to leave for safety

When your uncle had killed your father you had to say goodbye to Anubis and hide with your mother who was also pregnant from the temporary resurrection of your father after he was killed and had his limbs fall into the Nile.

Anubis had always loved you more than a relative, more romantically but couldn’t confess his love as you had left with your mother for safety from his father which festered some hatred towards his father for the chaos that happened when Seth killed Osiris.

Your brother was soon born and you did all that you could while hiding to be a good example and made sure you kept him safe from potential harm whether it be by evil humans or predator animals in order for him to have a semi normal childhood along with teaching him how to defend himself from any threat.

You had became the goddess of hope and dawn but instead of losing your memories like you and your mother had thought you were able to keep them, you had wrote them down just in case but guess that was pointless with how you got to keep the memories.

You had fallen in love with Seth even though you shouldn’t with what he did to your father but you knew that your father pushed him to that breaking point and unlike your mother who tries to keep Osiris’s honor you want your father to never get what he wants as he deserves nothing but karma, that is what you hoped (see what I did there? lol) for and you will try everything you can to make that happen.

After the trails against your uncle and your brother you followed Seth when he was given his punishment to travel as a demigod (I’m guessing that’s what happened as I’m not there yet, correct me if I’m wrong on that please 😁), you knew Seth hated you but you wanted him safe and not in danger as he can’t fully protect himself like he could when he was a god.

Seth soon saw how you were nothing like your father and saw how you hated your father he at first didn’t know why you hated Osiris but you told him that you hated what he had secretly done to him and others that had to go through hell for the experiments he had them go through.

Horus sent a familiar to travel with you two and keep an eye on you both as he wanted you two safe; he had been in love with you both since he was young so he hopes that he can be able to have the both of you fall for him, what he doesn’t know is that you had only see him as your younger brother and loved Seth.

Anubis also had been in loved with you but would like to become a god so that he can confess to you but he couldn’t as he doesn’t remember anything from when he was a demigod, that was until he met you again and his feeling reignited powerful than before, but you didn’t feel any romantic feelings for him and loved Seth so you didn’t accept his feelings before leaving with Seth after the run in with Anubis.

(A/n: hope y’all liked it!! Hope i didn’t misunderstand anything for your request to😅, anyway that’s all i have to say I think so hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

[ava-is-up-to-something]

hi Ava!

just wanted to ask if Osiris and Set were counterparts too because they do seem like ones

I'M VERY LATE ANSWERING THIS I'M SO SORRY.

Osiris and Set are definitely opposed forces and often identified with opposite concepts/ideas, (like how Osiris is identified with the deceased reaching the afterlife, and Set is identified with the annihilation will face if they cannot reach the afterlife). However, there's a very specific pattern in the ways that certain pairs of gods (Isis & Nephthys, Nekhbet & Wadjet, Horus & Set, etc) are used together in Egyptian imagery and writing. I don't think Osiris and Set fit that pattern.

These pairs appear right next to each other in iconography all the time, especially in certain contexts (Isis and Nephthys mourning Osiris, or Nekhbet and Wadjet on royal regalia, or Horus and Set representing the pharaoh). Texts will have couplets that describe them doing the same or similar actions, like Isis cries for Osiris while Nephthys weeps for him, or Isis gives birth to Horus while Nephthys... also gives birth to Horus? At the same time? (Don't ask me how that works).

Of course, Osiris and Set are enemies, who are in conflict with each other, but Horus and Set are also in conflict, and there are still lines in spells that describe that conflict in those parallel terms. Horus is suffering from his injuries and so is Set, Horus and Set are both being judged by the Ennead, etc. Osiris and Set don't have passages like this about them, which creates this interesting sense that Osiris and Set, when conflicting, are always in opposite conditions, one is winning while the other is losing, while Horus and Set can be in the same condition at the same time (they're both losing).

EXCEPT that Osiris/Isis as a male/female pair are sometimes used in contrast to Set/Nephthys, as the two youngest couples in the Ennead and as the four children of Nut. I've read at least one spell that has a part like "Osiris and Isis do X, Set and Nephthys do Y" in it. But I've never seen this happen with just Osiris and Set alone, its only when other people are around them.

[milky-rozen]

What’s your opinion on Set x Isis or overall their relationship? 👀I’m curious on how you plan to portray it! 😁

Heya Anon!

Thx for the ask!

Honestly speaking, I haven't seen much about these two as a ship, but I would totally like to, because I think it has a lot of potential! Actually, I think they've got many things in common and they would totally get along if the circumstances were different: like the fact that they're both extremely powerful gods. Set is always described as the strongest God of all and Isis magic is literally unmatched, so together they would make such a very powerful couple, almost invincible! But, unfortunately we all know how the story goes and, in the end, they gotta do what they gotta do.

As for my story, I'm planning to expand more on their relationship and explore their chemistry so that I can give myself a satisfactory explanation to some weird events from the Contendings. I would like to tell you more in detail about my plans but I'm afraid that would be a huge spoiler for the upcoming chapters so I have to stop right here unfortunately. But one thing I can say is that, design wise, there are actually some elements that link these two gods together.

Like the fact that they both wear red clothes, and Isis has half-black half-red hair, just like her sister Nephthys who has half-black half-green hair to match Osiris' colors. It's all a metaphorical code I used to also show how personality-wise these two couples can be pretty similar to each other: we've got Isis and Seth being the strong willful gods that they are while on the other hand, you've got Nephthys and Osiris being basically their opposites, more soft and gentle.

Anyways, generally speaking, to me Set and Isis represent two faces of the same coin, but alas, they're not destined to reconcile due to the horrible things Set has done to her and all the people she cares for. And maybe, it is better this way. With time, they'll learn to let it go and just carry on, as they always do.

[momento-mori-leaves-a-debt]

sum fun little blurbs i noticed about my two hyperfixations [?]

[ennead x EPIC/ the odyssey in general]

(Also my knowledge on egyptian mythology in general isn't as good as, say, Greek mythology so please correct me if I get something wrong)

Okay, I've posted some bits of this on some of my other blogs, but basically:

Telemachus = horus

Odysseus = isis [NOT OSIRIS, ILL GET TO THAT IN A BIT]

Penelope = Osiris [BUT SHE CAN ASLO BE SEEN AS ISIS, ILL GET TO THAT TOO]

Antinous = set OR eurylochus =set

Toth = ATHENA

How i kinda got to this conclusion? I was reading Kane chronicles while listening to epic the musical, and the song legendary came on when I was reading the kane chronicles and was like "huh, legendary kinds fits with telemachus untill he gets to the suitors?"

And like.....little wolf could be a song about the contendings <kinda> and the challenge too though it's a bit of a stretch

Set could be antinous because anti isn't really set on taking the throne (by either marriage or force) and planned to assault penelope, which is kinda a mirror to set and horus???

Side note, if it was fully accurate to the contending, sharpwolf aka antimachus shippers would have so much food to consume. Probrably lettuce. Iykyk.

And like....think about it. Toth (from my understanding DONT QUOTE ME ON THIS) helped out isis and horus a lot....so he's kinda like athena helping Odysseus and telemachus

and ODYSSEUS AS ISIS??? A LONG , JOURNEY TO FIND A WAY TO BE RE-UNITED WITH THEIR LOVED ONE, AND ONE TIME WHEN THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO SEEING THEM THEY HAVE TO RESTART BECAUSE OF SOMEONE (*AHEM* EURYLOCHUS AND SET) BUT EVENTUALLY GET RE-UNITED AND ITS LIKE ONE OF THE GREATEST LOVE STORIES EVER????

OR PENELOPE IS ISIS BCS OF THE WHOLE "MOTHER OF THE PRINCE/ FUTURE KING, WHO IS INCREDIBLY SMART AND CUNNING AND DIPLOMATIC????

oh my gods if we go with the set = eurylochus route CITMENE??? ODYS SISTER???? MARRIED TO EURYLOCHUS??? HELLO??? Nephthys and set parallels?????

I AM FROTHUNG AT MY MOUTH RN, WTH????

In conclusion, if anyone makes and epic x ennead crossover, I will be forever indebted to you , pleaseeee please pleaseeeeeeee

[platinumrosetail]

Thanks for having me, I think I'm a regular customer here now.

Yandere Seth x reader.

This came to me after watching Saint Seiya if you know me.

Notice: fem Reader, a young woman who is fascinated by stories of any mythology. Spend time listening to or reading myths. One day there is an Egyptian myth that tells a sad story about how Seth, god of war and the desert, falls in love with the eldest daughter of Osiris, the goddess of dawn. She was his second marriage, however for some reason she was murdered and Seth was left alone, condemned to wait for her for eternity. The reader loved this story and it made her sad. Some time later he goes to an Egyptology museum and the area of the Egyptian gods. Each one seems strangely familiar to him just as they are: Isis, Osiris, Anubis, Nephthys, Horus. When she sees the figure or images of Seth, she feels an inexplicable feeling of great affection, which almost makes her touch a wall with the image of Seth. She ignores all that and continues walking around the place. Then, for some reason, she feels watched. What will Seth do after finally finding his love?

Context: She is the reincarnation of Seth's wife.Extra detail: she doesn't remember anything about her past life (obviously hehe) and refuses to believe Seth, even wanting to escape, if you describe their encounter.

(Sorry for putting a lot of text, I think it's to give you more details and give you an idea, but if you want to add more things that come to mind, that's fine)Once again I thank you for serving me again.

Oooooh interesting! And you’re fine 😁

Warning: noob author, female reader, yandere romantic characters, and others.

Character: Seth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You’re a female that is mythologist that specializes in Egypt mythology along with other myths but you have more interest in Egypt’s myth as you feel a strange familiarity with it like you’ve been through it before even though you weren’t even born at the time of when gods were more out and about.

You recently found something about the god of war and another goddess; goddess of dawn to be specific, who married each other after Nephthys and Seth broken up, apparently this goddess was the daughter of Isis and Osiris, and was eldsest of their kids, the goddess and Seth both fell in love and married but a tragedy happened and the goddess died, so the god of war waited for eternity for death to reunite with his love.

You also found this strangely familiar and sad which made you go into a deep dive into finding out more about the two but there wasn’t much for some reason even the name of the goddess isn’t anywhere to be found though probably isn’t a surprise as this is all back in ancient Egypt so some things could’ve been lost, stolen, or destroyed but you’re glad that you found this as you can look for it on your trip to a Egypt museum that you had planned for some time now so hopefully you can find at least something mentioning it there.

The time for you to go on that trip to the Egypt museum has finally come once you had everything you needed and wanted to bring with you so now you’re off to your destination, not noticing the look your driver was giving you as you were to busy looking out the window and looking at your phone time to time.

You have arrived to the hotel you’ll be staying and had everything delivered to your room you’d be staying in before deciding to just walk to the museum with the things you have in your bag.

You met up with the curator of the museum who was a young man about around your age who has red hair and red eyes, you were surprised that a man around your age would be a museum curator but you didn’t judge, you felt attracted to him and somehow get the feeling he’s someone you used to know but you knew you would’ve remembered someone with that red hair and those red eyes, you decided to ignore the feeling anyway as it could’ve been from seeing him on tv or something like that.

The young man left you alone after a few words and so you were off to the mythology section of the Egyptian museum. You encountered a wall depicting Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, Seth, the mysterious goddess of dawn, Horus, and Anubis. You stopped at where Seth is before gaining the feeling of wanting to put your hand on his part of the wall but decided against as you remembered that some museums if not all doesn’t allow people to touch the artifacts.

You started to get the feeling of being watched so you decided to move on to more of the sights in the museum, what you didn’t notice is that the curator had followed you and was hoping for you to touch the wall depicting Seth as that would’ve let you gain the past memories of your past life. Seth, who was previously disguised as your driver and is now disguised as the museum’s curator was opening to have you touch the wall depicting him and the others so you could have your past memories but now needs to find another way to do that as you decided to not do it in the end. Now that he has you he won’t let you go even if you now don’t feel the same and try to escape, he won’t let you not again, after all this time you won’t get murdered by your jealous father again cause he and the others are now dead because of him.

(A/n: hope you like it and what I decided to add in!! 😁 I had fun making this plus while writing this all I thought about was the movie ‘night at the museum’ lol 😂, anyway hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

[06] -- ANUBIS

✦ TITLE: Lord Anubis -- The God of Mummification and Funerals, and Guardian of the Dead

✦ SACRED ANIMAL: The Jackal ✦ DIVINE WEAPON: Ankh Scepter/Staff ✦ NOTABLE EPITHETS: "The Master of Embalming; Guardian of the Scales; The Counter of Hearts; Keeper of the Underworld" ✦ PROFILE: https://deitiesproject.com/portfolio/anubis/

----------

Lord Anubis is the son of Set and Nephthys; the nephew of Osiris and Isis; and cousins with Horus.

Despite his youth and reserved nature, Anubis is a well-respected funerary god who excels at performing his divine role. He rarely dwells on mixed feelings regarding the legacy of his family, and prefers to focus on his responsibilities and supporting those whom he holds dear.

DEITIES x OC_TOBER -- Deity Profiles [Full Character Lineup]

----------

Eheeeee I'm happy to get to Anubis to start off this week! He's the tertiary protagonist of the DEITIES main story, and one of my favorite gods from the Egyptian pantheon. Anubis is a much more subdued character compared to his father and cousin, but I like to think he gives the trio's dynamic a good balance during the storyline.

I'm running a bit dry on fun facts for the guardian jackal, though here's one I might have mentioned before and that feels relevant now:

Before my early story concepts developed into the current "DEITIES" (when I was still in grade school), I considered having Anubis as the main character rather than Set or Horus. Anubis's personality was very different though -- as was Horus's and Bastet's, actually -- and in hindsight, I'm really glad that the old versions of him and the rest of the cast were revamped haha;;;;

Also a bonus image, as I really didn’t want to leave his trusted companion demoness out of this post (I’ll need to revisit Ammit’s design another day):

Premonition

Amun x Reader

A/N: lowkey high key the Amun requests and fics. I’m always the most proud of them so I hope you enjoy this short little one shot. And thank you for this amazing request lovely

Summary: Y/n runs into a bit of trouble and Amun worries for her. Takes place in ancient Egypt when vampires were believed to be gods. The term vampire has not come about yet.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

“You shouldn’t have been out there.” Amun said after rushing in, y/ns hair flying and gently floating back around her face. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms at his mate.

“Please darling, I think I can handle myself.” Y/n rolled her eyes

“My statement stands.”

“You know the rule, we rotate to take care of any outside threats. Besides I wasn’t alone.”

“I highly doubt one of our kind counts as a threat especially with you.” Y/n laughed, she was one of the more adept fighters in their coven but hard as she tried to deny it, hated any sort of conflict. Amun imagined that this was weighing on her. He sat next to her and grabbed her hand.

“You should hear what they came up with.”

“Oh? Am I the hero or villain today?”

“Hero, I believe.” He had waited to tell the newest tale going around, she raised her eyebrow and he sat down next to her, “They believe you’re Nephthys first of all….”

“I look nothing like Nephthys.” Amun shrugged, humans had their moments but the things they came up with to explain their world baffled him. He chuckled at y/n getting worked up, crossing her arms at the thought of it. Her and Nephthys famously did not get along in their coven. Both stayed for their mates built didn’t stop either of them from going at eachother often.

“Could have been Isis.” He offered

“No one would confuse Isis. She doesn’t mind letting the humans see her. And besides… as if you are to chastise for such things Amun Ra, oh so powerful sun god.”

Amun rolled his eyes. He’d only been seen by the humans once but he had been the first among his kind to be seen , it had been in his newborn phase and the suns reflection of his skin dazzled the humans. It had taken no time for word to spread. Amun scoffed, “please. I try to forget.”

“Ah if only we could do such things.” Y/n said as she intertwined her hand in his and kissed the back of it.

“Would you care to explain why on earth the two of you were carrying around dismembered enemies instead of burning them?”

“Please my love, you know the humans grow more weary of us. Isis saw them around the riverbank when we finished checking to make sure there were no there around. We decided to not give the humans the information on the one thing that kills our kind. So we grabbed what we could and burned them elsewhere.”

Amun hated to admit he was wrong. Y/n was right the humans were starting to grow weary of their own disappearing. The one member in your coven who had the power to influence their sight. was gathering to much attention. Eventually the humans wouldn’t be tricked by a vampire pretending to be a god hiding them to the afterlife. The field of reeds storyline had bought you time, but soon everyone’s nature would be revealed. At first the humans all but gave away the younger ones a sacrifices all too willingly, Isis had fought to change the illusion. Half of the coven insisted the humans be kept as slaves. Amun wasn’t sure if it was because they couldn’t remember a time they were human or if they enjoyed the power they had over them. But he had saved Kebi and y/n from being used as more than a mere meal, he hated to think what else they wanted to do with them and he hoped the other half of the coven wouldn’t be swayed to their side. Hoped that a majority still kept some semblance of morality.

More and more blood drinkers were appearing in their region. Amun worried a group could rival their own, y/n could see his brow furrowing. She knew all too well his worries. Her sister and herself felt indebted to him and while they sometimes could care less for the humans that so easily gave them up so many years ago, they wouldn’t dare side against him.

“My love, what is it?”

“It worries me. Today I mean. What if there had been more of them?”

“I admit it has been a bigger problem as of late.”

“Hm.” There was no stopping Amun when he was like this, he was always protective of you, even more so when you became his mate. But lately, it seemed to be wearing on him.

“So what did the humans have to say about Nephthys and Isis today?” She tried to distract him

Amun offered her a smile she knew all too well what she was doing, still he appreciated her efforts. “You know humans they will try to make sense of anything, they thought the two were trying to save Isis’s mate. Put him back together. They assume Set somehow tore him apart.”

“Well, if anyone were to turn on one of our own it would be Set.” Y/n squeezed his hand and he rested his lips on her temple before giving her a slight kiss. He lifted a hand to her face and ran his thumb across her cheek.

“I’m sorry. I know my worries get out of hand.”

“I think it’s quite endearing actually.”

“Glad one of us thinks so, my love.”

“I will try and not go out without you and Kebi. You are right, and there’s safety in numbers, don’t want another one of our kind sneak up on us.”

Amun let out a breath he wasn’t aware he was holding back, it offered physical relief but a weight did seem to lift off of his shoulders.

“You know I adore you, yes?”

“I should hope so.” Y/n smiled up at him and kissed him before standing up and leaning against the wall, “I should have made you ask, it would interesting to see you beg.”

He appeared beside her, whispering in your ear, “be careful what you think ish for my love. From what I recall I’m not the one usually begging.”

Y/n pinned him against the wall, “let’s see about that, yes?”

Amun grinned, he began leaning down to meet her lips when they both heard one of their covens yell for someone to begin gathering humans for their next meal.

“Shame. We’ll pick this up again later.”

“Lucky for you.” Y/n smiled as she turned letting her hair slightly hit him

Amun smiled at his mate, but just as he grateful to find her. His worry grew when he thought of something possibly happening to her. He cares for his coven but y/n would always be his priority. With Kebi right after, y/ns younger sister painfully reminded him of his human family. And the mistakes he made as a newborn. He refused to let anything happen to them.

“Amun?” Y/n worried how often he got into a trance, worrying herself that he could be caught unaware of any dangers around him.

“Sorry, my love. Shall we?” He offered his arm to her and the two began heading out of their room.

“Worrying again?”

“I can’t seem to stop.”

“Darling, we are practically indestructible. And regardless, we’ve got eachother. What could happen?”

is it known what nepthys is the goddess of? i was reading about set and an author seemed to consider her a "wet nurse who can't give birth", which seems kinda misogynistic, idk? (also i was looking for the ask you answered about her associations but i can't find it)

Not really? In the same way it wouldn't be misogynistic to say that I am subfertile, when I am in fact subfertile because of my endometriosis, it's not necessarily misogynistic to refer to Nephthys as a wet nurse who can't give birth, because two of her main aspects that we know of are the fact that she was involved with childbirth (see for example the story of Rud-djedet's triplets in the Westcar papyrus where she helps Rud-djedet give birth together with Isis, Heqet and Meskhenet) as well as the wet nurse of Horus (and thus also the wet nurse of the king), and her infertility/inability to give birth.

Now in a society where procreation was important, the latter could potentially be a misogyny-fed concept, however we don't know exactly what Egyptians thought of infertility other than something that could be attempted to be cured roughly the same way we do now. We certainly have no evidence that infertile women were considered to be lesser-than. But more importantly, the realm of the divine functions along a different axis than the mortal world does. What we now might see as physical features were in some cases metaphysical projections of abstract concepts that mortals weren't thought to be capable of understanding during life.

This we see in one of Nephthys' denominators, which is "the woman without a uterus". This reflects her role in the cosmic cycle of life, death and rebirth rather than her value as a woman. Egyptian religion is all about balance and duality, so this lack of a uterus (and thus her inability to give birth) is a representation of her metaphysical part in creation. In that sense, her barrenness is integral to who she is, and mentioning it as a defining feature is true to history.

As for what Nephthys was the goddess of, Egyptian deities in general weren't really "god(dess) of singular aspect X": most of them had a large number of connotations that quite often overlapped with those of other deities. Nephthys was a goddess of protection and a funerary goddess. As wet nurse and counterweight to her sister Isis, she isn't subordinate but rather the other side of the coin. Though as we've said before, the myths of the divine were subject to change, and in some very late texts Nephthys is said to be the mother of Anubis (who could also be mothered by Bastet or Isis), and during the Ramesside period especially Nephthys as mother was a popular motif. But in general, she was connected to death and mourning, protection and childbirth, the night where Isis was connected with the day, and a goddess who for most of her history couldn't have children of her own flesh.

Took me a while to locate that ask too because Tumblr is so lovely when it comes to showing search results, but here it is! And here's another one I answered before that.

Vocabulary (pt.mlxxv)

Words taken from Egyptian Myths by Eric Braun: 

Isfet (n.) injustice, violence; an ancient Egyptian term from Egyptian mythology used in philosophy, which was built on a religiously, socially, and politically affected dualism. It was thought to be the counterpart of the term Ma’at (meaning “order” or “harmony”). [x]

Maat, Ma’at the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth, justice, and cosmic order, daughter of Ra. She is depicted as a young and beautiful woman, standing or seated, with a feather on her head.

Khnum the ancient Egyptian god of fertility, associated with water and with procreation. Khnum was worshipped from the 1st dynasty (c. 2925–2775 BCE) into the early centuries CE. He was represented as a ram with horizontal twisting horns or as a man with a ram’s head. Khnum was believed to have created humankind from clay like a potter; this scene, with him using a potter’s wheel, was depicted in later times. [x]

Isis the ancient Egyptian nature goddess, wife of Osiris and mother of Horus. Her worship spread to western Asia, Greece, and Rome, where she was identified with many and varied local goddesses.

Seth, Setekh the ancient Egyptian evil god who murdered his brother Osiris and wounded Osiris’s son Horus. Seth is represented as having the head of a beast with a long pointed snout.

Osiris the ancient Egyptian god originally connected with fertility, husband of Isis and father of Horus. He was killed by his brother Seth but subsequently restored to a new life as ruler of the afterlife.

Nut the ancient Egyptian sky goddess, thought to swallow the sun at night and give birth to it in the morning. She is usually depicted as a naked woman, with her body arched above the earth that she touched with her feet and hands.

Geb the ancient Egyptian god of the earth, the physical support of the world. Geb constituted, along with Nut, his sister, the second generation in the Ennead (group of nine gods) of Heliopolis. In Egyptian art Geb, as a portrayal of the earth, was often depicted lying by the feet of Shu, the air god, with Nut, the goddess of the sky, arched above them. [x]

Tefnut the ancient Egyptian goddess of rain, water, and moisture. She was also at times a lunar deity, associated with the cycles and power of the moon. [x]

Nephthys, Nebtho the ancient Egyptian goddess who seems to have been artificially created in apposition to Isis to be a second sister to the god Osiris and wife to his brother Set (Setekh). [x]

It's a pleasure to see you again, I came to ask you for a request hoping you will accept it.

Yandere Seth x fem reader.

Message: Reader, first daughter of Osiris, older sister of Anubis and Horus (sorry, I really like that the reader is the sister of Horus and Anubis) and wife of Set. You can devise a mini story where she recovers the seed that her father stole from her husband. This is how they manage to have Seth's daughter. but (a situation that you can invent) the reader ends up dying, but this time because she sacrificed herself to save Seth after receiving a fatal stab wound. Seth is left alone with his daughter. The girl grows up to look a lot like her mother, but her hair and character are the same as Seth's.

Obviously the villain of everything in this story is Osiris.

(I would really like you to do something like that, sorry if you consider me someone with tragic endings. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you)

Oh you’re fine, these are actually really interesting ideas 😁

Warning: noob author, female reader, angst, yandere romantic characters, and others.

Character: Seth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were the daughter of Osiris and isis, the eldest of the three children aka your two brothers; Anubis the second eldest, and Horus the youngest, Anubis was half because of events between your father and Nephthys while Horus is Osiris and Isis son like you’re their biological daughter.

You were also the wife to Seth; the god of war and sand, how that happened is a long story.

You noticed some red flowers in the garden your father gave to your mother and curiosity got the best of you and you went to get a closer look on the red flowers.

You found out that this was your husbands seed as you can look through the memories of living beings, one of the advantages of being the daughter of the god of life.

You knew that Seth wanted a child so you decided to give him the opportunity to get the wish he deserved after all he’s been through.

Your father found out and went after you when you had given birth already to yours and Seth’s daughter when your father came busting through the room and aimed to kill your child which was in Seth’s hand, Seth shielded his daughter with her waiting for the pain of the attack but didn’t feel anything, you had take the attack and gave a attack of your own to your father so he doesn’t get out of this scot free with no injuries either. Sadly you didn’t anticipated that the attack had poison that could kill a god and soon that wound turned fatal as it was apparently fast past and soon became incurable now which lead to your death.

Your death traumatized your husband and made him seek out and kill Osiris with strength that he never had before to avenge your death. He doesn’t let anyone touch your daughter or anywhere near her that includes her grandmother and her uncles, he also makes sure that she is in the same room as him so nothing bad happens. He secludes her from anybody he deems a threat to her while also looking for ways to hopefully bring you back as he doesn’t want to be alone and he’ll do anything to make sure you and your daughter is there with him until the end of time.

(A/n: hope you like it!! It was honestly an interesting request! I loved writing it 😁 anyway hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)
