#all owls are athena

[aceyanaheim]

There's so many headcanons of which owl form athena takes in the fandom and I love all of them and all the ways they show up in character designs

and then there's me who's just "all of them she can turn into all of them" dont make me chose

Epic birds~

When I'm bored I usually sketch epic characters and gods like birds, so I said, why not draw them digitally?

(Little Telemachus next to Odysseus has an idiotic face...)

companions of eyes

Idk guys I’m pretty sure this happened at some point

[nightmarearian]

Done (heavy quotation marks) with monster Ody @evergreen292 ;)

tbh I couldn’t for the life of me pick a color palette I liked And Render it so I gave up on color. Enjoy the half assery.

Tbh I’ve just been call it Ithacan Naga, but it’s objectively it’s a mix of snake, owl/bird, and human. So 🤷.

Tbh the wings are supposed to be white/gray-brown, cause owls & Hermes, while his scales are supposed to be an oscillating scale from sea green-blue to purple-tinted gray. Uhm. Evidently that sorta didn’t happen but also did. So.

The purple/grayer scales are gonna be more around with the feathers and wings.

Those fin colors are. Too blue and too bright but I love the colors themselves so they’re staying for now.

Uhm. That’s it for now, ig. I’m sorta on a timer rn and I’m tired so <3

The writing bit with this is still in the works (😭)

Mentors!

I noticed that I love the "flawed mentor with a student that they treat like their child" trope a lot and wanted to see how many of my fav shows and books (+ a musical) had this trope. In no particular order, here they are!

7. Ursula Callistis "Little Witch Academia"

she is such an amazing character! More people should watch this show. Her relationship with Akko is so fascinating especially after the twist about why she is so determined to help Akko specifically is revealed. I need to rewatch this show again.

6. Athena "Epic The Musical" (1st 2 pics by Luiza Xavier Mazzei)

Athena is one of my fav Epic characters and I love her arc so much. Seeing her start as the Mentor to Odysseus and then switch to Telemachus' mentor is so cool. Also, Teagan Earley (her singer) is awesome! (3rd pic is by @wolfythewitch and 4th is by Luiza Xavier Mazzei again)

5. Toshinori Yagi (All Might) "My Hero Academia"

All Might is an interesting character in his own right. I actually wrote an essay about his heroism and how it has changed for a class. His perfect symbol idea that he built and then decided to move on from and grow from his inability to maintain it. Oh, how I love it.

4. Frieren "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End"

Frieren is an amazing main character and it's rare to see the mentor be the focus of a show. Her growth over the course of the story is lovely in its pacing and I love how when she meets Fern her sense of time does start to slow down as she helps to teach and raise her.

3. Sun Wukong "Lego Monkie Kid"

Wukong has a slew of flaws that have caused issues for him and his loved ones for as long as he has been alive but seeing him grow and change both for himself and for his new loved ones is so beautiful to watch. He sees how his past actions have caused issues for his successor, MK, and actively tries to make sure MK will not have to suffer for his actions.

2. Edalyn Clawthorne (Eda) "The Owl House"

Eda is flawed in ways that are mostly due to her being an outlaw and taking some time to figure out how she should be training Luz. Once those motherly instincts kicked in she started doing a fantastic job. She started taking better care of herself as well. She is a wonderful caretaker of Luz and King. I love you, Mama Eda!

Qifrey "Witch Hat Atelier"

Qifrey is a broken man who is able to hide his pain pretty well from the people in his life (well enough anyway). He loves his students so much but he can get carried away by his grudge against the brimhats. Luckily he has a whole family's worth of people to remind him to relax and take in the calm while he can. Hopefully, he's able to keep Coco from going down a similar path.

That's it! That's all of them! I hope you all liked seeing these lovely mentors and their respective pupils. This all started because a while ago I was talking to a friend about Wukong and I realized that he and All Might fit into the flawed mentor role and from there it spiraled. Now you all got to read this! I also hope this lets other people who love this trope find new characters to obsess over from this list.

I started doodling greek gods, it's over for me. I have to accept that I'm officially addicted to epic the musical

[kitkats-forthe-gays]

Do we like the sketches? I can’t draw very well but I tried! They’re also a little lazy but Yknow :D

You may have to open the full picture for better quality.

[captain-of-the-roses]

"For some reason, all I could imagine is Odysseus walking away with Athena near the back of his cape, causing her to cling on as the cape flings up in the air, then thumps against his back. I can see her hanging on sideways, just because she was stubborn enough to not move."

A comment by SadfaceCM on my fic made me laugh, so I had to give my poor drawing skills a workout to bring it to life lmao

ahhh so adorable. They could be twins

Please imagine small Athena looking at an apple like "owl!" and then promptly deciding she either loves them bc owl or hates them bc she doesn't want to eat an owl friend. (Tasha immediately adapts hc for all fics ever made and ever to be made)

Cleaned and redid my little altar thing :) 🖤

The little box on the left I painted too, it has a bunch of different stones and shells and little things in there. And then the little offering bowl with the "council" and a candle :3

[goldenroseeon]

Mmmm.... Posting this on my sideblog because ehhhh...

(Feel free to ask me about them!)

WOE! WILD KRATTS OC BE UPON YE

yes they are kind of a self insert but allow me this

Meet Penelope!

They're a newer Wild Kratts kid, though older than the median, and live in Western North America.

They're named after Penelope from the Odyssey, and despite preferring to watch from the sidelines, they provide a lot of context of animals from a folktale and mythological standpoint, knowing a lot about animals and how they're viewed throughout history!

They're also a bit of an artist, and really enjoys making character designs and outfits based on animals and folklore.

[shidraoftheworldpillar]

I have an inexplicable urge to make fursonas for epic the musical characters so woe furry be upon ye:

Odysseus: wolf or fox (or both???)

Polites: firefly

Eurylechus (or however you spell it): badger or bull

Antinous: grizzly bear

Circe: red panda

Zeus: thunderbird

Poseidon: hippocampus

Hermes: jackolope

Athena: owl

calypso: tropical bird like a hoatzin or scarlet ibis

penelope: I'm not sure, if yall please suggest suggest good species thatd be awesome

Telemachus: a hybrid of Odysseus and Penelope's species

EDIT: Calypso is now a marine iguana cause we gotta have some reptile representation and antinous is a really scruffy stray cat that crawled out of an alleyway in the middle of a storm

Sips apple juice

[nightmarearian]

tfw you just give up and make monster Ody a shapeshifter cause he has like 5 different animal motifs and/or similar monsters you could pull from
