#house of the stag

[dappermouth]

It passed outside your window on a night you couldn't sleep — a phantom burning black against the house across the street.

"That's right," said Luna encouragingly, as if they were back in the Room of Requirement and this was simply spell practice for the D.A. "That's right, Harry... come on, think of something happy..."

hot d s2 is like star wars the last jedi in that there are plenty of valid complaints to make but that valid crit is way overshadowed by nutbar fans making offensive or just downright dumb complaints. difference is the sw original canon trilogy (and even the force awakens) is better media than fire and blood ever was, which makes that whole line of complaint even more annoying imo. i can't like one legit post about the absence of nettles without seeing 10 other complaints i want nothing to do with.

Oh man did I love doing this. Got an amazing owlhouse themed commission from @megatraven to draw out some designs for their OwlHouse/Lovestruck AU for Alex Cyprin and MC. Was so hyped to work on these epic palismans and do more work in this style.

If you want to see your own characters in the Owl house style, commissions of this type are now available! (6/3/2023)

was doing some reading on medieval bestiaries and, hear me out

Stags in bestiaries are associated with Christ, since when running they are said to run to “Christ, the true spring”. They also trample upon their enemy, the snake, who represents the Devil.

with TOH’s subversion of how witches and hierophants are traditionally regarded, i just think it’s neat :)

if i was Will and Margot looked at me like that then YES, i would too, let her do anything to me and use me for her impregnation plan even tho i rejected her twice in the last minute because i am infatuated with some other girl that is fucking my therapist when im simply in denial about actually being infatuated and in love with my THERAPIST (which i cum to at the thought of later)

A Game of Thrones, Catelyn IV

Visenya’s Hill was crowned by the Great Sept of Baelor with its seven crystal towers.

Across the city on the hill of Rhaenys stood the blackened walls of the Dragonpit, its huge dome collapsing into ruin, its bronze doors closed now for a century.

The Street of the Sisters ran between them, straight as an arrow. The city walls rose in the distance, high and strong.

And above it all, frowning down from Aegon’s high hill, was the Red Keep, seven huge drum-towers crowned with iron ramparts, an immense grim barbican, vaulted halls and covered bridges, barracks and dungeons and granaries, massive curtain walls studded with archer’s nests, all fashioned of pale red stone.

Aegon the Conqueror had commanded it built. His son Maegor the Cruel had seen it completed. Afterward he had taken the heads of every stonemason, woodworker, and builder who had labored on it.

Only the blood of the dragon would ever know the secrets of the fortress the Dragonlords had built, he vowed.

Yet now the banners that flew from its battlements were golden, not black, and where the three-headed dragon had once breathed fire, now pranced the crowned stag of House Baratheon.

Hey, wanna hear something disturbing?

So, Lidia's son, Actaeon. Let's talk about his name.

Actaeon is a character from Greek mythology. Artemis, goddess of the hunt, was bathing in a pool, when a hunter comes across her, and is overcome with lust.

Enraged, Artemis, transforms the hunter in a stag, his hunting dogs, unable to recognize the "prey" as a their master, tear the stag apart.

The hunter's name was Actaeon.

The Great Emperor Soleb in his formal attire

or I wanted to draw a mask and cowl set for him that was vaguely beetle themed. While it’s such a shame to hide his beautiful face from his adoring subjects, he must keep his human ancestry a secret. (“Why not use a concealment stone?” Where’s the drama in that?)
