Dara of the Vikings

The Public Domain has some interesting and cool characters with wild and engaging backstories and worlds that for whatever reason have slipped into the Public Domain.

One of the cool characters with amazing worlds and unique characters would be Dara of the Vikings. The daughter of a hero who was presumably born and raised on a mythic island high up in Scandinavia where Dara and her father Druil and a host of immortal vikings maintain a vigil over a collection of powerful relics and weapons of other prolific viking warriors and kings.

Dara is a prolific warrioress an archer; who assists in repelling mercenaries and an entire (presumably) immortal band of Vikings led by a envious warrior called Cyngar.

The entire set-up feels very Conan the Barbarian/Red Sonja-esque. Considering the character is in fact in the Public Domain; you can just forget about how the only recorded story involving Dara of the Vikings finding two random americans who crashed onto her homeland via plane and helped them repel Cyngar and his forces.

But you could also have that narrative play out as well; Dara could be someone's way of playing with a Public Domain Wonder Woman type character. A living immortal anachronism dealing with the the gaping divide of her experiences on the Island of Tine and the modernity and progress of the globe; of how people may seek to conquer Tine to discover the secret of Immortality or people trying to understand magic to steal the might and power of the host of relics buried beneath the island.

Or you could have some kind of a similar start to that of the greater Conan cannon; have Cyngar attack Tine and violently wound Druil who manages to force Cyngar's forces off of the island, showcasing why he was given the title of 'The Heroic'. But only Druil and Dara knew the spell to open the vault of treasures deep within Tine and now; with Druil dead Cyngar must hunt Dara down and force her to open the vault. But this task prove's difficult as Dara had been approached by three soothsayers who spoke strange wisdoms to her the night before Cyngar's assault. Leading to Dara taking one of the mystic relics; The Golden Bow of Rolfe The Mighty and fleeing into the dark. Now Cyngar rules Tine and continues to seek a way into the vault beneath the island through cunning, deception, violence and polticking. The only one capable of liberating the Island of Tine and slaying Cyngar is Dara, Queen of the Vikings.

Just imagine Dara's design done in an art style similar to that of Frank Frazetta; that would be amazing

The silly thing about associating Deadpool and Wolverine with Patroclus and Achilles is that if the Greek gays had regeneration and nigh-immortality, they wouldn't have reached peak tragedy

It's been awhile, couple hundred of years.

Give or take.

It's not that bad, Cyno.

Just a bit of ache. A bit of yearning.

Ah, and missing you for all of the eternal life I was cursed with.

Selfish desires of the heart that was once moved.

[gingermintpepper]

Little idle thought I've been having recently but I think Cyparissus' story is very important for characterising Apollo and Apollo's love. It's so easy to think of love and loss as two ends of a spectrum, likewise, so often, death is seen as an ultimate and tragic end in love stories - something final and inescapably tragic, the only force that halts love by separating the lovers.

Cyparissus' story is... not that. Yes, the deer dies and one can conclude then that death is once more at the heart of separating two lovers, but I think Cyparissus specifically requesting to die, specifically begging Apollo to let him grieve forever even after Apollo has done his best to help Cyparissus move on from the accident and Apollo letting him is a powerful thing.

Because Apollo not only puts Cyparissus' wishes over his own, he's also able to see past his own building grief to immortalise Cyparissus in such a way that both grants him his wish and allows other people to glorify Cyparissus as well! And I think such a beautiful thing is something criminally overlooked!

It's become something of a joke that 'all Apollo's lovers turn into plants' but from a functional perspective, flowers are the most brilliant way to keep the spirit of a beloved thing alive. Flowers are like stars - as long as there are humans, humans will always contemplate the nature of flowers and as the god of poetry and song, Apollo creating opportunities for his beloved mortals to be remembered eternally even if they never seized glory in the traditional way is such an intimate and beautiful thing. Even then, Cyparissus is elevated to a similar status as Daphne with Apollo's actions - not merely a plant or flower but one that specifically symbolises him, one that is extremely fragrant and beloved by him. Just as Daphne's laurels were synonymous with glory and victory, Cyparissus' cypress became a emblematic of grief and remembrance. Even today, thousands of years later, people still view cypress trees as mourning trees and plant them in cemeteries and use the ash in incense burnt in remembrance of others. How's that for Apollo keeping his word.

oooo, so we're following the engineering group first??

all the better to dramatically cut back to the bridge group to see Klaus being trouble or in trouble (not remotely mutually exclusive)

there might have been lackaya in the big scenes prepping for Sturmhalten where there's just a lot of background characters

but the last time I'm sure we saw one was when they came to get Gil on Klaus orders and had never seen him so angry ('especially with you!')

I have a panel I'm trying to plan for an upcoming con and I figured there's no better place than tumblr to ask for help with it

The premise is basically just a kahoot game that asks questions about older fandoms, be it insane plot beats in the story (a la ICP becoming the first dual presidents of the United States and Guy Fieri being the antichrist in Homestuck) or insane fandom drama (such as the time a klance shipper tried to blackmail the voltron writers into making it canon, the rainbow dash cum jar, the sharpie bath, etc)

The problem is, I was never super involved in older fandoms (because I was a child who didn't know fandoms existed yet lol) and am therefore somewhat uninformed and my list of potential questions is very much incomplete for a 50 minute kahoot game

If anyone could send me asks or DMs with ideas for questions or even just ramble about topics I could include, I'd be really grateful for the help!

Fandoms I would love info on are such as:

(Putting under read more so as to not totally clog people's dashes, reblogs are appreciated btw!)

-Superwholock

-Hetalia

-danganronpa

-MLP

-Homestuck

-Voltron

-Ouran Highschool Host Club

-Warrior Cats

-Harry Potter (I know, I know, but my immortal fits into this category so I've gotta include it)

-Yugioh

-Beyblade

-TF2

-Kingdom Hearts

-Invader Zim

-Creepypasta fandom

-Rick & Morty

-Gravity Falls

-Steven Universe

-Twilight

-2017 musical fandoms (Hamilton, BMC, DEH, Heathers, etc)

-Bandom

-1D fandom

-yandere simulator

-sonic

-onceler fandom

-eddsworld

-phandom

And any sort of adjacent fandoms/medias that I haven't mentioned! Feel free to tag/add on if you have suggestions!
