Andromeda’s race/ethnicity and why it’s not inaccurate to interpret her as black/African
Now you’ve seen how I draw my babygirl as Afro Palestinian Egyptian so you know where I personally stand on the subject. However, my interpretation isn’t the only one, ancient authors, from mythographers to historians to poets to playwrights, have proposed various different locations for Andromeda’s homeland, often times contradicting each other, what I’m trying to do here is correct some misinformation as well as argue that even if Andromeda isn’t black/ethiopian, she still wouldn’t be considered white or ethnically European.
I would like to reiterate like I did with my Hephaestus/Aphrodite post that I’m not a mythology or history expert, I just read a lot. So do your own research and come up with your own conclusions.
Let’s go.
The etymology of “Aethiopia”
Aethiopia means "of burned face" which yes is pretty racist be modern standards but basically means that its inhabitants are dark skinned, so even if you go by sources that it isn’t in Africa, the inhabitants still wouldn’t be white or Greek.
Location of the Kingdom
You’d hear the statement that the Aethiopia in mythology is not the same as Ethiopia the modern country, which is true. You’d also hear that it’s a completely fictitious location, that’s only partially true, while Aethiopia existed mainly as a mythological location (mentioned as early as the Iliad) that didn’t stop ancient historians, mythographers and poets from placing it in real locations or calling pre-existing nations Aethiopia. It’s hard to pick which one is more “accurate” bc they all contradict each other, not only that, but these writers didn’t actually visit these locations and ancient ppl weren’t as well versed in geography as we are today so they’d be weirdly vague or confusing about these locations, I mean just look at an ancient map and you’d see what I mean.
So personally, I think you can go with any version you personally prefer, the options are quite limitless, she could be from the Arab peninsula, the Levant, North Africa, Persia, hell maybe even India if you are like Ovid.
Andromeda’s genealogy
(I just realized that these are the Waterson kids color palette while writing this lmaooooooooo)
Yes Andromeda is descended from Zeus (no family tree can escape that man lol) and she’s also the great granddaughter of Poseidon, which adds a whole new layer to the fact he tried to kill her.
Now for a bit of history: The Trojan war (which didn’t happen irl obviously) was dated as taking place in the 12th or 13th century BCE by some ancient writers, that war happens a few generations after Perseus’s story, which means that Egypt was in the New Kingdom era, also called the Egyptian Empire, when Nubians (who would be considered black by today’s standards) were a very important part of society, even becoming Pharaohs. Ancient Egypt was a lot more diverse than modern ppl give it credit for, there were multiple ethnic groups living there. Not to mention that you can’t get more Egyptian than being descended from the god of the Nile River lol
Libya is (obviously) the personification of the region of Libya, not the modern country Libya, but the general area in North Africa west of Egypt. The name Libya comes from the Libu, a berber tribe. So once again, even if Andromeda wasn’t black, even if you interpreted that her kingdom is placed in Asia, she’d still be of African decent.
Cassiopeia is a tricky one, her origins are obscure, she’s called a nymph by Nonnus, while Stephanus of Byzantium (a very late source) states she’s from Ioppa and that the city takes its name from her. However, Ioppa/Jaffa was identified as Andromeda’s home much earlier in Periplus attributed to Scylax, which was composed in the late fourth century bc.
Conclusion
You can make Andromeda black it’s ok. Ancient writers couldn’t agree on her country’s location but we can still speculate. Anyways ummm… I think that’s it? Maybe I’ll add to this if I find or remember more interesting information.
Have a great day.

Belus-07 Locomotive
Here's a MOC of a locomotive from one of my favorite indie games, The Final Station.
It's a dystopian game about a train conductor trying to survive an apocalyptic event by riding this experimental locomotive across the vaguely Eastern European countryside.
The artstyle feels very inspired by Simon Stahlenhag.
Belus was a series of experimental locomotives within the dystopian apocalyptic fictional universe of The Final Station.
There was only 8 locomotives in total, with the series discontinued after the main project supervisor went missing and the project team going bankrupt, ceasing production and maintenance of the Belus locomotives whatsoever.
According to the game wiki the train's wheel arrangement is supposed to be 6-2-0 (I am not versed in train wheel patterns).
Please support me and my hubby:

BELUS Jupiter, when his father Nimrod had ruled for 56 years, the son himself reigned, in the 1844th year of the world and the 2118th year before the birth of Christ. He built up the marked-out foundations of Babylon, more like a fortress than a city. He enjoyed constant peace around the borders of his empire. Consult Berossus book 5, as above.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Horizon (Video Games) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Beta/Milu Characters: Beta (Horizon), Milu (Horizon) Additional Tags: One-Shot, Post-HFW, Post-Canon, POV Second Person, Established Relationship, Fluff, they just deserve the world, and hold some hands Summary:
Space and the horrors it bore are far away and fading further, matter less by the day. It is over. You are safe. In her arms, you can believe it. Her presence has a gravity like Earth’s. It’s a tether, to ground and bind you to the present, to allow for a glimpse of the future: the change firmly in your hands, a lifetime of endless possibilities; and the constant of her at your side. Starry-eyed fantasies, and all of them—yours, to make true.
Beta receives a gift from Milu.
Based on a prompt by the amazing @loumauve. So grateful to have you in my life.

for the fic title I'm just going to utilize one of mine. “Lab Grown Opal”
Beta/Milu, easily. An exploration of their respective "cultures" (if you count "raised by shitty Zeniths" a culture re: Beta) when it comes to gift-giving, affection, and other general aspects of cute teenage courtship.

Huge fan of the Exif and Bilusaludo being callbacks to classic Showa era alien races. Like you got the manipulative Exif who have Ghidorah as their monster (like the Xiliens) and the more rugged Bilusaludo who lost their planet due to a black hole and use Mechagodzilla as their monster (like the Black Hole Third Planet Aliens)
#we all know the Godzilla anime trilogy didn’t quite stick the landing but hey#still great ideas#we got Metphies too who was the best character in the trilogy by far#Galu-gu and Belu-be were cool too#there are like 3 people on this site who care about the trilogy#I am one

“I admit, your proposition is... intriguing, Belus. I was unaware there were yet still so many Sith who strive to break the chains of useless doctrine and embrace true freedom. Yet I still wonder how welcome I would be.”
Adrestin sighed inwardly, allowing his trepidation to waver through his aura in the Force. “It is... not my proposition, Malgus. It is the Tribunal’s as a whole. You know that you and I do not quite see eye to eye. Your methods are brutish, often cruel, and far too overtly aggressive for my own taste.”
There could have been a smirk, or maybe just a scoff, under that mask. “So you have mentioned.”
“Mm. But as I have said. The Shadow Imperium values diversity of opinion. Sith culture is not as rigid or so easily codified as the Sith Empire would purport it to be. It takes a myriad of forms, and whether or not I personally embrace some of those forms is irrelevant. The Tribunal does embrace them, in fact craves them, for in our riot of voices and passions comes the blossoming of the deepest powers in the Force.” He chuckled. “And that is something we can both agree, is a mutual - and potent - desire.”
---
What’s the point of having overpowered OCs if you can’t occasionally throw them in the mix with all the other overpowered characters lol
Adrestin is one of the very few people who can make Malgus look short XD
Fun fact, Malgus and Sivin are the exact same height tho, who knew
