2020 Huevember

HELIOS — BENEVOLENCE

"The solar deity, even though he was a little out of the way, plays an important role in the daily life of mortals: thanks to the god Helios, plants grow vigorously, harvests are numerous, and above all, daily life is more pleasant. It is thanks to him, and his chariot, that the world turns and regulates itself by gravitating around him. He does not hesitate to take his time and observe with a benevolent air, from the clouds of Olympus, the mortals who swarm with life."

Helios as Yuuto, it is not necessarily an obvious choice, and yet, this kid is so radiant and solar! Really, he has a smile always stuck to his face, it was almost obvious to make him embody Helios!

HESTIA — HOSPITALITY

"There is nothing more pleasant than a warm fireplace: a crackling fire in the family hearth, tenderly fanned so that every being who enters the place feels at ease. This is Hestia's role—to make everyone feel at home, no matter the moment. Mortals do not pay attention to the small details that are specific to the magic of the goddess. Her humble heart allows her to appreciate them all in the right way."

Louise in Hestia was a bit of a choice of destiny: she unfortunately doesn't have this chance to have a welcoming home of her own, and it is partly thanks to Hadrian that she will be able to create one. So it was a logical choice for her to take on this role!

HAPHAESTUS — CREATIVITY

"The gods are not spared from the flaws that one might think only mortals have: the ugliness was Hephaestus' one. He was such a filth that he had even been thrown from Olympus! What a disgrace! However, Hephaestus was not only a talentless bugger ... On the contrary. Under his hands, the clay smoothed, bent, took shape ... Thus, he who is known only for his ugliness had undoubtedly created the most beautiful thing: Pandora, the first woman, whose grace was equaled only by the talent of her creator."

The myth of Pandora, or at least her creation, fits Irene and Robyn so well! Robyn has a slight lack of self-confidence, and he loves scultpure. It is quite naturally that he took the features of Hephaestus with Irene to represent Pandora!

HEBE — UNION

"The exchange of vows and the promise of eternal love: for a goddess, whose youth is a source of inspiration for all, it is quite ironic to be the protector of the newlyweds. If in Olympus her discreet and minor place as cupbearer is quickly replaced, in the hearts and blessings of weddings her role is a major one. She then raises her cup to toast this happiness so that it will never be ephemeral."

Hebe is such a minor and little mentioned deity that I thought it fitted well with Katya's character. There is also the whole allusion to marriage: after all, Katya has been lulled by this ideal since she was very young that she would make a perfect little deity all by herself!

ERIS — STRIFE

"Chaos ... There is nothing more beautiful, nothing more inventive than total and absolute chaos. And Eris quickly understood this: a hint of jealousy here, a pinch of envy there ... And there she is, moving and creating a world where everything is cacophony and injustice. An extraordinary chaos where the seed of discord is planted in a wise way!"

Misery as Eris, honestly, it is a choice that is not even debatable: she enjoys stirring up hatred to better entertain herself. And in her work as a hitman, she loves to have fun tormenting her prey in a more creative way ...

✿ My 2020 Huevember with my OCs associated with Greek deities and qualities or flaws! I really loved doing it back then ...

2021 Faebruary

GENTIAN — PAIN

"Fairies are not that good to deal with one emotion after another. Thus, anger can turn into a real mess and hurt can be made against one another. The greatest pain of a fairy is not to be forgotten, it is to be disrespected and harmed by one of its kind, afterall ..."

My poor Fubuki is the greatest illustration for the feeling of pain. With the scars he is always bearing, he cannot stand any bullying. Therefore, by being to afraid of being hurt, he ends up feeling hurt whenever he has to try to connect with someone else.

WYSTERIA — FRIENDSHIP

"Fairies cannot stand loneliness. They need action, they need laugh, they need to be entertained again and again. And thus they bond together and discover the real power of being friend with one another!"

Yuuto and Etoile are huge buddies. They love being with each other, fooling around with other people. I can only imagine them as being joyful fairies who love playing together and being a bit careless in the process!

PERIWINKLE — SADNESS

"It is so diffcult to handle every single piece of emotions. Sometimes, it is normal to let it all out. Fairies are not doing very good with strong emotions and sadness is one of them. Some may say that rain happens because of a fairy's sadness ..."

Adam is a good boy but he is not really so good when it comes to emotions. He is sort of depressed and does sometimes act like an idiot with his own life. And sometimes, he does cry. He cries a lot. And he never knows if he feels better or worse afterwards.

PEONY — SHAME

"Sometimes fairies can be very mean with one another, to the point where, some of them stay hidden behind the bushes and the flowers. Some of them are really too ashamed to take part with the others and ... stay on their own, without any help."

Keyne never had an easy life. He had some hormonal problems in his teenage years, which lead to bullying at school against him. He already suffered from it due to his scars around his eyes. At some point, he really was ashamed of himself. But with healing and time, he has started to accept himself for who he was.

PETUNIA — WRATH

"Dealing with anger is something that is far from behind a childplay. Fairies known only one way to get rid of that: destruction, crisis, screams ... But no one taught them how to know the real source of this anger."

Niwan is a character which is not good when it comes to deal with his anger. Family trait from his father, as some would say. He has so much wrath in himself that he never knows when it is going to explode. Thus, Niwan is the kind of guy who prefers to destroy thing rather than hitting people to let it go. He doesn't want to end up like his old man.

✿ I'm slowly keeping up my pace with my old drawings. Thus, let me introduce you our 2021 Faebruary we made with Zonbi! We mixed it with flower's language too!
