Comparative mythology - comparative storytelling. The former leads to the latter?

Yeah. . .

We've got magic horns and magic rings. Staves and swords. All the mystical magical macguffins MC Protagonist might acquire.

The One Ring - cursed, and grants you the power of invisibility -- all but from the flaming (allergy season is hell in mordor) eye of Sauron.

But what rings are there from our world (myth or real) that are similar?

Silchester (Hampshire) England that has ten facets and is graven with the image of Venus. The ring was discovered at a Roman site in England and later a Roman plaque was discovered with an inscription dedicated to the god Nodens and the inscription is a curse as well as detailing the loss of the ring - the god having lost it. A lost ring from a powerful being with a curse.

But we also have the the Ring of Gyges -- a ring --

Enter the Ring of Silvianus - ring from 4th century CE-- that allows the wearer to turn invisible. The story goes that a shepherd found the ring in a cave on the corpse of a creature larger than a man (it's implied its humanoid), and the ring adjusted to his size, and when worn and fiddled with - adjusted - (maybe turned - translations be translations) it...turns you invisible.

The Ring of the Nibelung (1876) - composed of four parts from german/norse epics -- this is the story of a magical gold ring that gives the wearer the power to rule the world!

Horn of Valere - wheel of time

Horn of Eld - dark tower

Did they take it from each other? Or...just stories?

WoT has an important mythic figure, Artur Hawking, a king arthur analog. The Dark Tower has Artur Eld or of Eld (eld is the archaic word for old so Artur of old)

Arthurian inspired stories or cognates include the famous Song of Roland (poem) from the matter of france or Carolingian cycle - a french legendary material similar (cognate) to the british arthurian - you can see the influence of that all through dark tower btw quite literally with names, roles, descent, and orders being named/used.

Anyways...both given tropes/beats were likely inspired by the song of roland as well as the silver horn many might forget about in LotR-- because it's in the books but cut from the movies. But Elrohir, one of Elrond's sons, gives Aragorn a silver horn with which to summon the army of the dead he's owed fealty from.

Magic horns summoning the dead, rallying armies, all that? Old as time. Cuz we love our war and we love our horns. HEHEH big magic horn go BRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM and...summon the dead?

Last night

Around like 7-8pm

I found a cursed ring

If no one on nextdoor claims it there's a chance I could get to keep it

Cursed ring that you can never remove once it’s on your finger but instead of being a ring it’s a bandaid

I think he’d enjoy freaking people out by spinning his head around. That and doing the weird upside down exorcist crawl towards people

he doesn’t like to talk about it

#elden ring #rykard lord of blasphemy #messmer the impaler #rykard #messmer #my art #in my brain their relationship was like rykard thought messmer was really cool because of his curse #rykard might view his curse as a superpower… one that he’d have taken advantage of if he were born with it #but for messmer it causes him a lot of pain both physically and because it drives a wedge between him and his mother #and with rykard’s growing doubts about the golden order he’d ultimately see messmer serving marika as a weakness and he’d be disappointed #and maybe this even influenced rykard’s decision to pursue his own serpent??#to do what messmer should have done and use the serpent’s power to turn against the erdtree #basically like rykard was obsessed with messmer but later realized he wasnt as cool as he thought. sad!

POV: You’re Ponyboy Curtis and your big brothers are judging your choice in friends

Curly and Mark never stood a chance. Meanwhile on the other side of town, Steve Randle feels the hair on the back of his neck prickle.

#sodapopper sketches #trust they have ✨opinions✨#soda doesn’t care about the hoodlum of it #but curly and mark never come around to the house and he takes that personally #meanwhile darry is like “why are my brothers cursed to have knucklehead friends”#and soda is like “hmmmm does the name paul holden ring any bells”#I am not a digital artist but here we are #battles were waged in the pursuit of this drawing #it was bloody #but I conquered in the end #darry curtis #sodapop curtis #the outsiders fanart #the outsiders

Page 42 of my Miraculous Mentor AU comic A Matter of Trust! In which Felix might have lost his magic, but everything he learned from balancing Misfortune could just pay off... ☯️✨

Also, I'm aware there's a slight layering issue with the text in the first panel - unfortunately my tablet broke this week so short of delaying the page there's nothing I can do right now! I hope it's not too distracting and I'll replace the image when I have it sorted! 💕

Weekly updates each Sunday! You can also read ahead early on Patreon, and/or buy me a Ko-fi if you'd like to support my work (or help me afford a new tablet! ; w; )! 💖

#miraculous ladybug #mentor au #felix sphinx #richard sphinx #A Matter of Trust #josie's art #i'm so mad; i even saved a fixed copy of this page but didn't transfer it before my tablet died >:'0 #and to be fair it held on for a LONG time; it's been half-dead for a while but affording a new one has been a problem #plus of COURSE they don't manufacture that kind any more; so i'll have to switch to a new brand and relearn everything ; n ;#fortunately all the comic lineart is backed up so that shouldn't be a problem but AAAAA (old man yells at cloud)#ANYWAY isn't it cool felix learned extreme parkour just by working against the Bad Luck energy he was cursed with? :V #without the ring he's an agility demon and i like to think that still applies in the current day #he's no longer protected from throwing his back out; but that's the price he pays for living to see 30 AND adopting an adhd catboy :/

Okay I'm relatively new to DpxDc but I have an idea I haven't seen and wanted to share.

Dead on Main but I've seen people saying that Danny and Jason met in the Ghost Zone while they both were dead, eventually getting together. I love it, it's a really cool idea.

Expanding on that, what if Danny trusted Jason to keep the Ring of Rage?

So like what if Ra's had a deal with Pariah allowing the Lazarus Pit's creation and with it Pariah put a curse of Rage/Madness with the Ring of Rage.

So when Jason was a ghost, he has the ring from Danny (I really like Ghost King Danny, but to your own headcanons) then he's brought back as a zombie then dunked into the Pit where the Ring is stuck to his core.

So the Ring has become like Pit Rage Extreme.

So like Danny's panicking in the GZ because his boyfriend just disappeared (whether in front of him for more angst or him realising it because Jason didn't show up for a date) and then having the realisation that shit he has the Ring of Rage and it's now missing!

So Jason (I like the idea he has a protection and/or revenge obsession) just doesn't realise he has a powerful relic which is causing his core a lot of chaos added to the Pits which probably needed to be cleaned out a few centuries ago.

So when Danny either a) finds him or b) is summoned he is so relieved he's got back his boyfriend, and the Ring where everyone just goes

"…what?"

#dead on main #dcxdp #dp x dc crossover #dc x dp crossover #dpxdc #jason todd x danny fenton #danny fenton #dc x dp #jason todd #red hood #like do you see the vision #like constantine sees him and wonders how he got the Ring of Rage in his soul #because that belongs to the King of Infinite Realms #and he just #has it #and jason's wondering why he has pit rage still #and its just because he has the relic that cursed the pit in him #i just like the idea #hope you do too

So we've all been having fun giving him bug wings right

(I gotta mention that this post in particular inspired me here... they're so little. His ass is not flying anywhere unless he's thrown)

And I do see the logic here. He has the li'l antennae after all (and him being a lightning bug would be especially fitting). But I'd like to point out that as a Fleischer-esque mix-and-match creature, he does also have a pig nose... therefore I suggest:

Pig. Hoofs.

I rest my case.

Also a little bonus... the touch-starved Luxposting has gotten to me. Pet the creature

#✏️ rory draws #the fourth drawing could not be cropped in a way that I found acceptable. was genuinely tweaking there #so uh. I gave up for now #maybe I'll add it later (people deserve to see the rizz face)#mr. ring-a-ding #lux imperator #his wings fluttering as a form of expression would be so so cuteses..... like you know how pigeons/birds do lil happy flaps with theirs #next time (if I ever) draw him I'll make them longer though #real lightning bug-like #the hoof headcanon was just a fun little thought but it has stuck. permanently. this is how it goes with the nonhuman blorbos #if I don't give them peets I give them hoofs #apparently #(but I am always right & correct)#mildly surprised that I've never seen anyone do this before?? and I've seen a decent amount of fanart. I suspect that I am the first #I also didn't end up adding any surrounding small scribbles to make these look less empty. because uh. tired #get in the white void boy #he looks so soft... squishy... 'tis the curse of my artstyle unfortunately #next time I'll need to draw him unhinged & with rabies
