@orangerosebush's post here, with my comment and @fowlblue's tags today got me thinking.

Artemis Senior has been teaching his son matters of business from a young age. Not only was Artemis, at 11 years old, discussing stocks with his father, but Fowl Senior had been imparting his wisdom onto his son for years by that point, discussing the ever-increasing value of gold with him before tucking him into bed. Even outside of pure monetary value, Sr. had tried to go legitimate with his business dealings, leading Artemis to have a few legal ventures of his own.

We also see very early on in the books that Artemis has been regularly using Butler as a resource for his plots: bouncing ideas off him was apparently a fairly common tactic when he was scheming.

Both Artemis Senior and Butler are interested in (or at least, not opposed to) educating Artemis on the ways of their lifestyle(s). It would be Artemis Senior who would have taught his son the value of banks and safety deposit boxes and hidden safes but it was Butler who was actively working with Artemis to rob those safety deposit boxes.

In the same vein of breaking-and-entering, TLC also gives us the fun little moment where Butler hands Artemis his own lockpicks, to get into the workings of the bomb.

With one line we learn that Artemis knows how to pick locks, but does not have his own set of lockpicks. Butler, on the other hand, has both the tools and knowledge how to use them. Partnered with a brief mention in TTP of some the specific trades of those previously employed by Artemis Senior (including such things as crime lords, insider traders, and cat burglars), we can extrapolate that Artemis Senior would generally hire someone to pick a lock for him, rather than do so himself.

It's pretty logical to conclude then that Artemis learned big-picture management from his father, and day-to-day skillsets from his bodyguard.

Essentially, Artemis Senior taught Artemis how to run a criminal empire. Butler taught Artemis how to be a criminal.

I've been seeing WAY too much swap au with Epic the Musicals, and I LOVE epic the musical SO much.

So like I did with the Scott Pilgrim post of mine (way down to the depths of the earth) I will make Epic the musical Swap au takes.

If the au doesn't make sense- then my bads.

Swapping :

Odysseus -> Penelope

{ the most obvious }

Eurylochus -> Ctimene

{ Just like Ody and Pen , Husband swap with wife }

Polities -> Helen

{ Polities is considered a great friend to Ody, I can't fine much sources mentioning his wife. Pen and Helen are noted to be somewhat close as they are cousins, hence the swap. Though the story might change because of this. }

Athena -> Ares

{ This makes most sense, me thinks }

Circe -> Medea

{ They're both powerful women in their own right }

Hermes -> Iris

{ God of tricks and messages with the Goddess of Rainbows and messages. Yeah it fits. }

The Prophet -> The Fates

{ I'm not sure how to explain, but you guys gets the Vision right? HAHAH pun }

Poseidon -> Amphitrite

{ Husband swap with Wife }

Scylla -> Charybdis.

{ Both sea monsters who stop / get in the way of Odysseus journey }

Zeus -> Hera

{ do I need to say more? }

Helios -> Selene

{ People forget that the cattle belonged to Helios and not Apollo, that's why in his verse, he sings about sirens and not the cows because they don't belong to him. Also instead of sacred cows it would be horses }

Artemis -> Apollo

{ Their relationship is always special to me, I guess it would make sense to swap them seeing that they are twins, and plus it's a ref to Selene and Helios }

Aphrodite -> Dionysus

{ Actually not sure with this one, it's just the most common swap and I grew to love it. }

Hestia -> Hephaestus

{ I feel like it would fit since Hephaestus claims focus on 'Trust' and Hestia is the Goddess of hearth and the home }

Calypso -> Antonious

{ Both who at least 'tries' to be Ody/Pen's love interest }

Characters who still stay the same :

Telemachus , Aeolus , and The Sirens (they're just male now)

If y'all actually made it this far and like- Have some takes let me know :3

Day 3: Asclepius

Interpretation notes and trivia under the cut!!

Woo boy, this guy was another difficult character to settle on both a design and an interpretation for! Asclepius tends to have two big schools of thought for his tale, either he's the tragic doctor who resorted to illicit methods in order to save his patients or he's a strict scientist who was so skilled at his art that his resuscitations were called magic but were just science. I don't actually mind either interpretation, but due to the way I personally see Coronis and the way I chose to interpret Asclepius' birth story, I chose to focus on a different facet of Asclepius; Asclepius the family man. The theme of geneology and the inheritance of 'curses' through blood and birth is one that permeates this work and Asclepius, in a lot of ways, has not only inherited both his mother and father's banes but his actions and talents create new ones for his children. Throughout this, and all the many messy crimes Asclepius will commit in the name of what he thinks is necessary and right, he will willfully ignore the warning signs staring him dead in his face screaming that he will leave the burden of his work to his children and it will be easy. After all, Asclepius has made a career out of ignoring his own father's warnings and cautions, what are a few more red flags to ignore?

Less of a character note and more of a personal thing, but for a very long time I used his teenaged design when sketching out scenes and ideas but after tidying up my timeline, I realised that he would be an older man throughout the events of the story!! Since he's properly mortal, he would have to look his age and while that was slightly intimidating since I've not drawn many older characters, it also made me very excited since characters in the 40+ age range are rarely protagonists of these sorts of adventure/fantasy stories and working in the physical differences between him and his brothers was extremely fun!

Some fun trivia:

Youngest of Apollo's children currently alive and kicking. Maybe it was because Apollo so intensely regretted the way he dealt with Coronis but he doted endlessly on Asclepius and essentially personally oversaw his education and training. Because of this, Asclepius, without a doubt, is the child with the best relationship with Apollo between the brothers and believes unfalteringly in his father even if they have many practical and philosophical differences.

Has a bit of a sixth sense when it comes to necromancy and communing with the dead and spirits beneath the earth. Because he was rescued from the torch of death when he was babe, he has retained a connection with the chthonic. While he cannot exactly see figures like Thanatos or Hermes, he can certainly sense when they are afoot. Is very aware that Thanatos cannot stand him and expects to be taken by Ker when he does finally die.

Always keeps gold coins on him on the off chance he is spontaneously struck down while doing research or healing some previously unhealable disease. His father, upon realising that his warnings would be thoroughly ignored, pleaded for him to do at least that since after Asclepius is dead, Apollo would be unable to intercede for him.

Happily married and has four children! His eldest Machaon chose to follow his footsteps and became a gifted surgeon in his own right while his second eldest Iaso chose to follow her mother's footsteps and become more of a nurse than a doctor. He's endlessly proud of all of his children and hopes his research makes the world a better place for them.

Was recognised by Apollo at 15 and became Doctor Laureate at 17. Lost said laurels at 22 after he revived his second corpse from the dead and since then has been on a strict probation when practicing his medicine. Has a mark on his left wrist that will fill itself out if he commits such an atrocity again and then he will be marked for death and supposedly tormented until he forfeits his soul.

On very good terms with Orpheus and the two often work together and catch up when they happen to meet up while travelling. Never knew Eurydice but he gets the feeling that he would've really liked her.

Despite being a son of Apollo, has absolutely zero musical talent and cannot dance. He can't maintain his hair either and would've cut it multiple times over if Apollo himself didn't stop him and chastise him for even thinking about such a thing. Epione does his hair. The little braids in his beard are courtesy of the twins Hygiea and Panacea who enjoy putting little braids in anything they can get their hands on.

Doesn't resemble his father or his mother actually! The relative he resembles most is his paternal grandfather Zeus, a fact that gives his wife endless grief because his hair is thick but not curly, a trait she covets. Asclepius having thick body and facial hair was also very awkward considering Apollo is incapable of growing body hair and, for a while, his lack of curls and cascade of body hair when Asclepius started puberty made Apollo doubt whether Asclepius was truly his or if he had saved Ischys' child instead.

Has zero self preservation and will hunt monsters and creatures for their blood, teeth, claws and hides for his medicines. Like his father, he has a personal 'wall of horrors' where he stores everything from gorgon blood to pegasus feathers to hydra venom. Sometimes gods in the guise of men will simply give him precious materials because they know Asclepius is the one who will take their unsolveable cases in the face of disaster. It is a very risky exchange and has only barely skirted by Zeus' notice because actual money hasn't been exchanged (yet).

Preferred weapon is the scalpel and doesn't like fighting humans. Has a fire-retardant mantle made from chimera skin Apollo gave him when he was a child that doubles as a very good shield in a pinch.

Favourite colour is withy purple and his favourite food is goat butter spread on bread and topped with celery, tomatoes and olive oil. Has a lot of snake themed jewellry that he's passed on to his son because he thinks they're too gaudy for his old self to be wearing.

Rewatched Young Justice Season 1 (still goated)

[bugwolfsstuff]

The way in some myths Chiron's daughters both get turned into horses by the gods (on two separate unrelated occasions btw) and in pjo he's forced to watch his adoptive children (campers) die young more or less because of the gods so he's just in a constant cycle of grief over his kids

My mans is just suffering eternally all because of the gods

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

It is honestly astounding Agamemnon lived long enough to be killed by his wife. Like this man has pissed off Odysses, Achilles, Artemis, and Apollo and i dont know how many more but there definately are there and the fact that he still lived long enough to get back home, without getting smote or curbstormed or get taken out be an elaborate scheme. Fates really wanted Clytemnestra to have that revenge

[indigo-constellation]

dumps au art here- none of this has been written and will not be written for a while

also gay people are real

[lostshots]

i feel like no one is reacting to this properly, but at least she's sure of herself

[amidst-wonderland]

this is a general headscratcher but wally's scepticism towards magic perplexes me. yes, he's able to debunk kadabra's tactics and by the end of the episode he seems to have come around, somewhat to the idea that magic exists (simply denying it to piss of artemis) but zatara is literally on the justice league and zatanna joins the team.

also, i am very much a lover of the fact wally's less than palatable, former character traits were repurposed to detrimental scepticism, mixed with his seemingly unshakable ego and not just writers trying to make him as unlikeable as possible (which wolfman confirmed was the intention in ntt).

[sarafangirlart]

Greek mythology has like several hot tomboys. The Amazons, Atalanta, Cyrene, if you consider pseudo mythohistory Alexander the Great had a bad ass warrior sister! But they chose transphobia smh.

Atalanta does appear in the franchise but in the form of a fucking catgirl.
