Aphrodite & Antheia
yep, going down this rabbit whole on my blog
Tumblr media
Aphrodite is, I would say, the goddess I know the most about (even though I'm still learning new things). I literally did all my mythology projects on her when younger lmao
Stars it's been so long since I've drawn people-
Anyway time to yap
The way I first learned (and preferred) of Aphrodite's birth was emerging from seafoam. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and was so so SO happy to see people incorporate the ocean in their designs of her. I felt it only appropriate to do the same (I am worried I made her too ocean based- so it's the reason she's got those wings lol)
however, sticking with her origins, I gave her stretchmarks (that I'll likely edit later to detail better) that look loosely like waves. I thought they were cute. Her hair is based on jellyfish frills, and made the underside yellow to be kinda-not-really like scallop shells. The ends of her lashes have little pearls because they are also a symbol of hers
Her animal is the dove, sometimes swan though I see that more with Eros, so I put these utterly useless wings in the back of her head like a hair ornament. They are folded to be in the shape of a heart.
The other lady is Antheia, one of the Graces or Charites, Aphrodite's attendant and the Goddess of flowers (& gardens & other stuff). Her and Aphrodite have a close relationship, and as a kid when first learning about her I thought she was another lover of Aphrodite. She's not, but I consider her Aphrodite's best friend. Her only symbols are flowers, usually roses & blossoms. And for fun, I have her hair loop back into the snake on her head. She's not associated with snakes, but I thought it'd be fun to give her a Garden Snake (though again I'll have to edit that for its patterns).

Dionysus is a perfect example of a mythic mycelium. Yes, he is ancient. He runs deeper than the pantheons and cultures that celebrate him. But whenever he arrives at a new city or location, he “refruits.” He adapts to circumstances, knowing that he will be most useful if he shifts his physical and spiritual form to fit the specific needs of a situated ecology and culture. Every mushroom of Dionysus is different. Perhaps, then, it is more fitting to say that he is always born, rather than his classical epithets of twice- and thrice-born. Every time his underground mycelium fruits up, he is born fresh-faced and mutable and tailored to a certain mythic emergency.

New Demigod Cabin: Antheia
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Antheia is a minor goddess of flower wreaths, blossoms, gardens and love as well as vegetation, marshes and swamps. As a flowery goddess of beauty and love she's naturally one of Aphrodite's attendants and is sometimes considered to be one of the Charites. Golden colored natural things like honey, myrrh, and amber are associated with her. In ancient times her center of worship was on the island of Crete, and in the present day she often spends time in the Everglades and the Louisiana bayous and other wetlands. As a result, her demigod children are often from the South and can usually speak Spanish or French dialects in addition to English.
The cabin is green with various swamp creatures painted on the outside, flower garlands around the windows, and an especially intricate wreath on the door. Inside there are pots of water filled with swamp plants, and the air always has a floral scent. The fabrics and floor are decorated with lotus, water lily, and cattail motifs. Flower garlands hang from the ceiling, and personalized wreaths hang above each bed. There is a pet flamingo named Florianus who lives outside the cabin and can communicate with its inhabitants.
When Antheia claims her children, a floral wreath symbol appears above their head, which then bursts into a cloud of flower petals. Demigod children of Antheia are often blond and always have amber colored eyes. The cabin's counselor wears a golden necklace decorated with alligator teeth. They love citrus drinks and iced tea as well as Cajun and Caribbean food. They're very attractive and charming and enjoy wearing gold jewelry. However, they're less vain than other children of love/beauty deities and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty due to their connection to swamps. Antheia's children tend to be artsy and creative and are good gardeners. They also tend to be avid environmentalists and conservationists and nature photography is often a hobby. They enjoy visiting New Orleans for Mardi Gras. They get along well with children of other love or nature deities. They often make wreaths to decorate for holidays or to donate to cemeteries for Veteran's Day.
Antheia's children have some healing ability due to their knowledge of plants and herbs. If they're fighting and there are many flowering plants nearby, the demigods can use the pollen to mess with their foes. They're resistant to mosquitoes and can send clouds of them to attack opponents, as well as summon nearby swamp creatures. These demigods can also control any nearby mud in various ways to attack opponents, but swamp mud is especially strong.
A child of Antheia can enter any building that has a wreath hanging on the front door. This only works if the wreath was placed there by an owner of inhabitant of the building. In modern times the practice of honoring the dead with wreaths at their tombs has allowed Antheia to slowly develop a weak connection to the dead. Her children can't summon the dead, but if they visit a grave of someone whose tombstone has a wreath or floral decoration carved on it then they can speak with the person's spirit, though they can't see it.
Historical Demigods/Legacies: Daniel Seghers, Ernest F. Coe, Marianne Celeste Dragon, Ricou Browining
Cabin Members: Fleur and Toussaint Desrosiers, Lucy Holland, Lily Kranz, Louis Sallis

Hail, Lord Attis, Cybele’s slain consort! We mourn your broken body, and eagerly await your resurrection. Grant us plentiful renewal and an enduring bounty, O Evergreen God. Hail, Lord Attis, son of the Magna Mater.
It was the duty of the dendrophori to cut down a pine tree in the woods and bear it with due pomp to the temple of Cybele. The perennial pine was a natural embodiment of Attis, the spirit of vegetation. According to legend, it was under a pine tree that he had mutilated himself and died. He had himself been transmuted into a pine tree and carried in this form into the cave of Cybele where the goddess mothered her dead lover; hence the pine tree borne by the dendrophori into the temple of Cybele was regarded as the corpse of Attis dead and treated with divine honors.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is not the Avengers
This movie was a mess. It felt like it had 10 different storylines in one. It would start a storyline and then never finish what happened. The end fight made no sense and just felt rushed and I honestly did not feel the emotion in it. Yes, it did feel like the continuation of the first movie. I felt like the movie did have some funny moments but has way too many cheesy moments that felt forced…
