Yet more morrowmin's

I just really like drawing him, his face is so 👁️u 👁️.

listening to my collection of 1920-40s music and ' you're the cream in my coffee' is the sort of thing he'd sing to himself also 'a bushel and a peck' - they're both romantic songs i guess? I picture him singing a lot of love songs. Not that he's romantic in any way (I wouldn't call him aro, more just he's basically incapable of actually caring about anyone who isn't his mother. He has no relationships of any kind really. not that he cares. )

he's born in the 1400ish so hes 400ish at the time i write him most (not that he's changed in any way from before that). he's done nothing with his life except be a vague nuisance (and occasional blight on thomas' life)- although to be fair he does work. the scariest thing about him is he'll randomly do difficult multiplication in his head out of nowhere.

He'll also just sometime faint. often in the middle of nowhere. he spends about half of his life in a really awful fever (it's him 'dying' but not being able to due to his mother's magic holding him together.) - he doesn't actually get out that much. He spends a lot of time shuffling weakly round his room and talking to himself. he doesn't really mind but he does prefers to be out (doing whatever he fancies doing in the moment).

I should probably draw him more ill sometimes i consider it a big part of his character.

It comes into play in quite a few things i have planned with him. such as the core premise of a story i have planed - stag,armed- where a noble lady called lacey finds him fainted on her sister-in-law's grounds (where she's staying) and takes pity on him. To which he insists he repays the favour as and when he chooses, which is mainly an excuse for him to stick around as he finds everything very entertaining. With lacey not wanting the rest of her wide family to know he's there (often in the house) as she married a wizard against her parents wishes as they were sure she'd end up involved with spirits etc (which is often bad). And morrowmin just finds the whole thing funny and yet again annoys someone by just exisiting.

As part of the story there's a moment where morrowmin disguises himself as human (with paint - his teeth and still shark like due to him not painting them, and not for verrrry long) so i was concepting what a human morrowmin might look like.

he's wearing 1760ish clothing (in the first one his hair is tied back as that's the fashion). ethnically in our world terms he'd be half greek (on his mother's side) so he'd have a more olively skin tone - although it's hard to decide on the exact shade for drawing :,) , it's just weird without his blue skin and duck hair.

He'd still be tall so at least he has that. His last name is Colt, which means a young male horse so i want to draw him with some horse symbols etc soon. It's also great to rhyme with.

And to end with - a very stupid thing that's been in my head for a while now.

Morrowmin just calling random telephone numbers/ trying to speak directly to the operator because he likes phoneing but nobody he know (really old spirits) has a phone.

maybe i'll post a few more snippets from 'gadding about' (musical thing) some time

🎨 Art Summary 2024 🎨

I did the thing I missed out on last year and picked a clone to represent each month :3 it wasn't too hard considering how I've spent the majority of my time drawing them (finally with some OCs - mine and others' - hell yeah!).

In 2025 I really want to wrap up the Hades AU, finish up the poly sketch requests for good, and play around with my art style: simplify a few things and work on my fear of empty spaces. Gotta learn how to hit that nice balance between noise and calm spaces in my art 💪

Thank you everyone for supporting me this year, through commissioning me or leaving very nice and heartwarming comments in the tags ❤️❤️❤️ (I do read and often save many of them for future support ❤️)

Having a "I've connected the dots" moment on why Zeus is so affectionate with Apollo, and I don't know why I'd never considered it before that Apollo's youth could be a reason.

Iamblichus, The Life Of Pythagoras (trans. Guthrie)

So there was this sentiment that young boys are the dearest to the gods, and the gods are especially attentive towards their requests. And since Apollo is a perpetual young boy himself, with Zeus being the one to grant him this gift in one version, it makes sense that Zeus has granted so many of Apollo's wishes. He spared Prometheus and Periphas upon Apollo's request even though he was personally offended by them. He agreed to suppress Gaia and Athena upon Apollo's request when it came to the oracular business. He even revived Asclepius to console Apollo despite Apollo's frankly disrespectful reaction to Asclepius' death.

Apollo might be fearsome, powerful, and even reckless at times but when he kneels down in supplication, all Zeus sees is his little boy that he loves so much, and he can't help but give in to his requests (well, most of his requests at least). And as far as the text is concerned, and if I'm interpreting this correcltly, Apollo's youth is interestingly tied to his helpful nature because besides using his own powers to help the humans, Apollo can also help them by supplicating to Zeus on their behalf, as Zeus is more likely to grant a request when it's coming from him.

i am absolutely fascinated by how Jack Frost had an entirely different look when they first started filming The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause!! apparently they went through a lengthy process redesigning his look to get him to that iconic, sleek, sleazy vibe we got in the final cut 👀❄️

Watching the HOTD fandom turn in on itself and I'm just here, enjoying my flawed, complex, glorious middle-aged couple who just love one another:

nightmare and his stupid mascot that is basically him but with even less redeeming qualities.
