"dolphins are completely evil" I actually don't think we should assign human morality to animals with no concept of law or civilisation with an intelligence roughly equating to that of a toddler

Penelope is also Athena's pet/blorbo/special little mortal/etc. and if you think otherwise you're straight up wrong.

You're also wrong if you think Athena only likes Penelope because of Odysseus and/or Telemachus. As if Athena didn't see a young Penelope pull some shit and immediately think "Oh! Another mind to mold! C'mere you! Let's do some riddles and weaving!". Athena was happy that two of her favorite pets have met and fell in love!

DC x DP Prompt *4*

Jason had been a little better recently. He had the pit better under control, even though it reared his head from time to time. But it was easier to talk with the bats... his family.

But B's staring was making his skin crawl. The big bad bat was staring him down for over ten minutes.

"What?!", his tone was harsher than he intended, but that wouldn't make him back down. The silence carried on for a few beats, before his fahter batman finally graced him with an answer.

"I spoke with Constantin... a while ago", it almost sounded like he wanted to talk emotions. Which could just mean something bad.

It took some moments before B continued. The emotional talk theory sounded more and more likely.

"There could be a way to help with the pit madness." - Bruce lifted his hand to stop any Protest from Jason - "I just want you to consider it. We won't do anything without your permission. It wouldn't even work without it. The entity is strong, but it is confirmed that it isn't a danger, as long as we treat this the right way", if he didn't know the old man any better, he would have thought that he was just as businesslike as always. But his jaw was clenched, his fingers kept twitching ever so slightly. His father Bruce was nervous.

And that was enough to reign the pit in, that kept whispering how they still didn't accept him. But that didn't mean he liked this idea.

So his answer was nothing more than a non committed grunt, before he swung on the back of his bike. The old man would be alright to wait for a bit.

It took months before Jason brought the conversation back up. The pit had been a bitch to reign in the last few weeks and today he felt at least somewhat like himself again.

They spoke just a little bit about what would need to happen, but Jason felt like his time was running thin. He didn't care all to much about the details at the moment.

Constantin was ordered to the cave and the summoning was prepared. No blood or sacrifice was needed, which made this magic bullshit at least a bit more tolerable.

Beside the Batman, Constantin and Red Hood was also Nightwing there. He didn't want any of his other siblings by his side. Not when he felt so easy to irritate.

The Magician began the ritual and in the circle formed a whirlpool of lazurus water. If Dick hadn't been standing behind him, he would have bolted.

But after just a few seconds emerged a white headed boy out of the pool. The portal closed and left a confused, floating boy behind.

But before Constantin or Batman could say a word, the green (Lazarus green!) eyes landed on him. The being gasped and flyed directly to him.

Danny had been minding his own business, free from rouges and king work for once. His finals stood right around the corner and he took the time off to learn.

But of course he had to be summoned in the only normal time he had. But since the energy felt familiar, he was to 90% sure that it should be sad trenchcoat man. So it should be important... hopefully.

As soon has he looked around he saw John and the Batman! But there was an energy that pulled his attention.

His eyes widened. This poor... Revenant? Halfa?? He wasn't sure, but! He was one of his people and it looked bad. And he seemed to be around his age, what made it so much worse.

Danny zoomed over to him, to have a better look. And that just made it worse.

"That looks bad... who did this to you?", he whisperd with a horrified glance at the chest of the other boy.

His core was slowly poisoned by his own ectoplasm and seemed like there was not much time left.

I really like drawing big eyed critters with funny ears so I experimented a bit with my own version of a Kelpie. The story won’t end there I will add more when I get the time to (I usually work on several stuff at the same time so I have trouble staying organized)

To understand water is to understand the cosmos, the marvels of nature, and life itself.

Water scarcity and the high cost of energy represent the main problems for irrigation communities, which manage water for this end, making it available to agriculture. In a context of drought, with a deregulated and changing electricity market, knowing when and how much water crops are going to be irrigated with would allow those who manage them to overcome uncertainty when making decisions and, therefore, guide them towards objectives like economic savings, environmental sustainability, and efficiency. For this, data science and Artificial Intelligence are important resources.

What‘s up with yotici? Are they still around

Yeah they're still canon. Last I mentioned them was briefly in the Imperial Wardi food post because their larval young are often caught as bycatch and eaten. They might come up again when I expand more on the Jazaiti people because the shallow sea on the west side of the peninsula is where this particular region's largest yotici pod is based out of.

By and large, the majority of landdwelling peoples do not communicate with yotici or even recognize them as sapient, and they tend to be categorized as fairly intelligent and very hostile sea beasts. The peoples who have established mutual lines of communication tend to be smaller, localized populations who depend on shallow seas for their subsistence, and don't tend to have mass influence (in a game of cultural telephone, "We have established treaties with the people of the sea grasslands to graze our wammi in peace in return for protection of their gardens and gifts of trade" becomes like "THE YANTI OF THE LOWLANDS SAY THAT THE GREAT BEAKED SEA-BEASTS SPIRITUALLY COMMUNE WITH THEM, AND THAT THEY MUST FEED THE BEASTS OFFERINGS OR ELSE THEY WILL DEVOUR THEIR SEA-CATTLE. WHAT FASCINATING HEATHENRY")

Yotici are not often involved in the affairs of land people beyond sometimes being hunted with harpoons, or drowning sailors/fishermen for hunting them with harpoons/threatening their gardens/just pissing them off. They're sometimes hunted by subsistence fishing communities (and their larvae are frequently caught in nets) so most established relations tend to be hostile (with no lines of communication or full comprehension that both parties involved are People).

Most yotici cultures have such fundamentally different modes of living and communication from landdwelling peoples that many yotici don't fully recognize them as People either (also thinking of them as mere beasts, if very intelligent ones- they can even use tools!), which reduces the frequency of even attempting to establish communications. Most yotici are just kind of out there doing their own thing.
