#gold statues

I found so many statues on our zoo trip that had been turned gold from all the people petting them

2021: Disney - Hollywood Studios - Title Page

This spread is the Title Spread for our day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While we were there mostly to experience Galaxy’s Edge, we stopped to take a few pictures on our way into the park, and I decided to use them on this first page. If you remember from yesterday’s blog, I put the Animal Kingdom Park map at the end of the series as part of an ephemera page. In this case I am putting the map…

Yes, yes, Hades was indeed Just Some Guy, but also, he had Percy's mom turned into a gold statue. Percy, who only a few episodes ago also got turned into a gold statue. Percy, who knows exactly what that process feels like. Percy, who is twelve years old, so that chair was probably the scariest and most traumatizing thing that's ever happened to him.

And Hades used that against him. He didn't burst into flames in a fit of rage. He didn't need to. He knows how to punish people. He's ruler of the underworld. That's part of his JOB.

He is powerful and terrifying. He is the weird uncle. He is cold and callous. He is a goofy dad-joking little freak. He can be all those things and more.

Speaking of Decked Out, I’m excited to reveal to you all that I had the honour of working with Tango himself to create a super detailed dark fantasy desk mat design for the first wave of Decked Out merch!! I crammed it FULL of references to the game—I’m particularly fond of the Ravager statues 😁✨

You can preorder it here! Let me know what you think!! I can’t wait to have one of my own 🙌

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

Confirming that YES, as of Hotfix 19 both Flesh to Stone and Flesh to Gold still work on Mizora. Hadn't actually tried using Flesh to Gold before. Not sure Mizora deserves the gold treatment tbh. Is there a "Flesh to Deep Rothe Dung?" scroll?

Reminder that the only rules are that she has to have taken up permanent residence at camp (Act 3 only) and she still has to fail THREE CON saves in a row. (Edit: also tested and verified, it persists after long rest)

(ps can you tell I romanced Wyll and have a personal vendetta against Mizora?)

Gold is often connected to divinity in rl religions. In Buddhism, it indeed symbolizes enlightenment and such, and it is often kept pure in order to not ruin its brilliance. In Tibetan Buddhism, statues are gilded with it and the 5 tonne Golden Buddha statue in Thailand is composed of 18 karat gold, almost fully pure.

Within this world, I like to think that gold has caught the eye of the Anemons in a religious sense upon the (,,re/")discovery of the Void Sea. The golden waves of it shaped the perception of their world, from explaining the sun as coated in a layer of Void, to giving an idea of what "cleanliness of soul" should look like. Wheel Flowers are also attributed to the Void as sprouts of it, because of their ethereal gold coloration.

The feeling of the divine has however faded when the motivations behind handling of the Void went terribly south, replaced by the extremist corruption and greed of High castes.

In other words, I wanted an excuse to draw Euros as a šarkan/змей.
