Forspoken Photo Dump 215: Junoon; The Harvest Lands, Part 1

[bugwolfsstuff]

Remember my hc about how the stars that were formaly living were watching the series play out like a tv?

I just realized how much chaos MoA would cause:

Ampelos when Bacchus is introduced: Thats my boyfriend :D

Hyades: we helped raise that boy :D

Ampelos when Bacchus refuses to help the seven: *screaming* HELP THEM! OH MY FUCKING GODS?

Hyades: .....this is from Silenus's parenting....

and then at the fall:

Euippe, daughter of Chiron and had more or less adopted Annabeth as her sister in her mind: NO ANNABETH!!! And percy!

Zoe: Perseus! Annabeth!

Hyas, brother of Zoe, trying to comfort his sister/s while freaking out: AT LEAST IT WILL BE A QUICK DEATH?

Alkyone and Kelaino, both lovers of Poseidon and had grown attached to Percy: *hugging each other* PERCYYYYYYY

Perseus and Andromeda, holding eachother in shock:....

Astraea, goddess of purity, innocence and justice: *watching in silent horror because she knows they both wont get out of this with whats left of their innocence, it will forever taint them and there will not be justice*......

[cruelfeline]

Every so often, one comes across some Broken behaving in a more strange, organized fashion. In the village of Gyuzel, we get these kelaino all gathered around a chest.

Said chest holds the cloak Judicious, whose chief benefit is granting an immunity to dazing.

It's an intriguing thing, simply because that status effect is most commonly caused by a kelaino's shriek.

It's almost as if they're sensing the thing that nullifies them. Or was the close proximity to the cloak what caused them to become what they are, a sort of opposite reaction to the magic nearby?

No idea! It's an interesting sight, though. Inspires some questions regarding what Breakborn cognition is actually like.

As for the deceased inhabitants of Gyuzel: many of their skeletons lay in pieces. Heads and limbs torn from the trunk. Aside from the keilano, a whole flock of Broken vultures attacks Frey here. It gives the impression of village dying of Break poisoning, starvation, disease... and then being set upon by vultures that eventually succumbed to mutation via the corruption. Hence the torn-apart bodies, skeletons laying about in pieces.

over gisteravond / denkoefening

luister, alles is aanbod gekomen en dat voor veertig euro

onderonsjes tussen blobvissen en olifanten in m’n net afgespoelde droom die naar nachtmerrie helde

voor de grap gemartelde Jezus geweest met een Fanta in de hand gesproken over piemelverlangen de Freudbashers hadden teveel whiskey’s op

Okypete en Kelaino dansten tot hun kaken knalden en Aëllo haar afkeer van consent opgaf

laat me even denken er hingen lampionnen in de pornoclub er hingen planten aan de muren die schrokken van vrouwen met een oude kop

het was allemaal heel sexy het was een echt feest we waren wel wat minder belle dan beest

maar het uur van het dier kon niet lang meer duren

toen zo van oeps, vergeten, dit was geen droom maar dit is live, wat ik je zeg met centaurs harpijen en hipstergoden

we deden wat oefeningen om de geest te strekken we aten stukken beest uit de McDrive

en ja hoor om vijf uur weer een nummer verloren van de Apocalyps die mij had uitverkoren

beestelijke Brahman, dat was toen ik het licht zag: dier en god, daartussen danste de mens

natuur en god zijn hetzelfde

en de mens, die lolbroek die zit te bellen in zijn blote kont is een dier en dus natuur

als natuur en god hetzelfde zijn de mens dier is en natuur

dan zit god nu te bellen in zijn blote kont!

ja, vandaag zit het nog steeds zo

[arpia-de-chocolate]

Pues, podría usar el creador de avatares para hacer diferentes monos pero no, Val acaparando toda la atención como siempre :U (okno, también hice de los otros).

A Val le gusta cambiar de look cada cierto tiempo, y quise hacer una especie de línea temporal con los cambios principales que ha tenido a lo largo de su vida, con un poco de contexto: 

1) Primero como Habib Valentine, su apariencia humana, con un poco de más color en la piel, cabello rubio y ligeramente ondulado, ojos azules, y de fondo su amada y soleada playa de Lárnaca, en la costa de Chipre. Solía ser mucho más introvertido y aunque ahí no se nota, también más enfermizo, padeciendo especialmente del corazón.

2) Luego ya convertido en espectro y con su look actual: piel más pálida, cabello rosado y ojos ámbar. Como estrella del lamento, extraña la luz del sol y carga muchas penas, pero trata de mostrar una sonrisa siempre (las bufandas, o ‘abrazos portátiles’ son legado de Maddie, una chica que es algo así como su primer amor. La roja es su favorita porque es un recuerdo que le perteneció a ella).

3) En algún punto, más o menos por la época en que empieza a andar con Miho, se corta el cabello y así puede apreciarse que de hecho sigue siendo ligeramente ondulado.Todavía conserva ese look cuando empieza a andar con Sylphid un par de años después, durante su mayor etapa de workaholic (cuando se muda temporalmente al Castillo Heinstein para cuidar a Gawain y a los recién llegados Knossos, Ariadne y Radella). 

4) Shit happens y Val es envenenado accidentalmente por cierto basilisco, quien decide alejarse para no hacerle más daño. Val, sin entender los motivos, entra en una etapa depresiva muy fuerte, además de que el veneno está haciendo demasiados estragos en su salud por lo que estando su voluntad y su cuerpo tan debilitados, la arpía Kelaino (la estrella maligna en sí) toma control total del hospedero y eso se ve reflejado en la tonalidad roja de su cabello (y también en su actitud, pues... arpiesca).

5) Y ya por último, después de arreglar las cosas con Syl y de todo el desmadre que es Guerra Santa, su look como esposo y padre de familia. La parte superior de su cabellera la mantiene algo corta, pero con la inferior se hace una coleta que deja bastante más larga. Otro detalle curioso es que el veneno, aunque ya ha sido eliminado de su sistema, le dejó algunas secuelas irreversibles en su organismo, como que paulatinamente se acentuaron los problemas cardiacos que padecía cuando era humano, y que su vista quedó debilitada por lo que debe usar anteojos. Aún así, ¡miren lo feliz que es! Ahora sí puede sonreír de verdad.

My mom sent me this text about her two cats: "Cats are so weird! I don't really understand them. Kelaino approaches Maia on the bed and begins grooming her face. Maia grooms back. They continue grooming each other. Awww, so cute! Right? But no. Suddenly, Kelaino bites Maia and bats her in the face. Maia bites and claws back. Maia has her ears back. Kelaino jumps off the bed. But it's not over, yet. Kelaino walks around to the other side of the bed, hops back up, and snuggles in next to Maia. No grooming, no biting this time. Now they are dozing, Kelaino with her chin resting on the top of Maia's head."

My interpretation is that this is a sensory overload thing and Kelaino got Done with being groomed. I'm curious for your take.

Thanks so much for helping translate cat behavior into something humans can understand!

ok so!  Your guess could very well be correct!  This could just be Kelaino getting overstimulated and needing a break.  It could also be that Kelaino wanted to play but Maia wasn’t interested; Maia wanted to sleep.  The bit where Kelaino jumped off the bed is where Kelaino consciously decided ‘oh, ok, I gotta de-escalate the situation’ and needed to get rid of some of their excess energy/stress.  Jumping back onto the bed for snuggles was more or less just Kelaino agreeing ‘yeah, sure, sleeping sounds good’.

Luna: "You came back!"

Here is my render for the third day of September! As was the case last year, it's depicting the moment when my self-insert Adriana finally reunited with Luna, after the several months she spent unable to reach her while stuck up in Carnelia. The background is supposed to be Iolia Valley, the area where Luna's Gym battle takes place! When I originally rendered (and later wrote out) this scene, Adri flew down to Luna on the back of her Honchkrow, Kelaino. However, she doesn't have one of those in this timeline of events anymore, so instead she's using her Drifblim, Drifter, as a hot-air balloon. We can pretend the basket's a held item.

Come the waves

And come the winds

And come the rains

Let the frost creep in

Let the moaning winds rise

Let the snows cover the ground

In the dark, cold night

Let the leaves

Fall from the trees

Let the sun hide

And the windows rattle

As the winds rise high

Let the clouds billow up

And lightning crackle

And thunder sound

And the winds begin to spin

Let the sky grow dark

And the air become heavy

And the birds take to shelter

As the world grows still

Kelaino of the dark clouds

Mapsaura of the winds

Okypete of the waves

Podarge of the lightning

Aellopus of the cyclone

Nymphs of the storm, a gift for me

Send the biggest storm that man has ever SEEEEEEENNNNnnn...

The kelaino and harpagos would give no cares, either, they can just glide-bomb like they normally do.

Ogres and goliaths are so freaking big they'd either have no problem or slip and fall constantly.

And oh god, the bears! Do Break Bears hibernate? ... do the Broken even sleep in general???

We are at that stage where the snow is partially melted, and what's left is very wet and sad to slog through.

What I now think of as the Cuff-and-Frey-Hate-This stage.

Feel like Frey would get a kick out of gliding through fresh powder. This heavy, wet pseudoslush? She would despise it.

Lord Apollo and His Lovers

Sources:

The Delphi Guide - Apollo's Lovers

Theoi - Apollo's Lovers

Thought Co - Apollo's Lovers

His most famous loves are the nymph Daphne, princess Koronis (Coronis), huntress Kyrene (Cyrene) and youth Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus). Cyrene, Daphne, Acacallis, Bolina, Chione, Chrysothemis, Cyparissus, Hyacinthus, Hymenaeus, Psamathe, Rhoeo...

Divine goddesses he loved:

HEKATE (Hecate) The goddess of witchcraft was, according to one unusual account, the mother of the sea-monster Skylla by Apollon. (Skylla was usually called a daughter of the sea-gods Phorkys and Keto).

HESTIA The goddess of the hearth, was wooed by Apollon and Poseidon, who both sought to hand in marriage. She declined both and petitioned Zeus to allow her to remain an eternal virgin.

KALLIOPE (Calliope) One of the nine Mousai (Muses) who was, according to some, the mother by Apollon of the bards Orpheus and Linos (most, however, say their father was the Pierian King Oiagros).

OURANIA (Urania) One of the nine Mousai (Muses) who, according to some, was the mother of Linos by Apollon (though, some say his mother was the Mousa Kalliope).

THALEIA (Thalia) One of the nine Mousai (Muses) who, according to some, was the mother of the Korbyantes by Apollon.

Semi-Divine Loves:

AITHOUSA (Aethusa) A nymph of Boiotia (central Greece) who was loved by Apollon. She bore him a son named Eleuther.

AKAKALLIS (Acacallis) A nymph of Krete (Greek Aegean) who was loved by Apollon. She bore him twin sons: Philanderos and Phylakides. (Akakallis is perhaps an alternate name for Demeter's daughter Khrysothemis).

DAPHNE A Naiad-nymph of Arkadia (southern Greece) or Thessalia (northern Greece) who was loved by Apollon. She fled from his advances and was transformed into a laurel tree.

KHRYSOTHEMIS (Chrysothemis) A nymph and queen of Bubastos in Karia (Asia Minor), the wife of King Staphylos. She had three daughters, one of which, Parthenos, was sometimes said to be a child of Apollon's.

KORYKIA (Corycia) A Naiad-nymph of Phokis (central Greece) who bore Apollon a son named Lykoras.

MELAINA (Melaena) A Naiad-nymph of Phokis (central Greece) who, according to some, bore Apollon a son named Delphos (others say his mother was Thyia or Kelaino).

MELIA An Okeanid-nymph who was abducted from the home of her father to Thebes by the god Apollon. Her brother Kaanthos was sent to retrieve her and after burning down the temple of Apollon was slain by the god. Melia was the mother of two sons: Teneros and Ismenos (and perhaps Keos, unless the mother of this hero was another Melia).

OKYRRHOE (Ocyrrhoe) A Naiad-nymph of the island of Samos (Greek Aegean) who was pursued by Apollon and refuge on a boat leaving the island. The wrathful god turned the boat to stone and the skipper into a pilot-fish.

OTHREIS A nymph of Mt Othrys in Malis (northern Greece), who bore Apollon a son named Phagros.

OUREA (Urea) A sea-nymph of Troy (Asia Minor), daughter of Poseidon, who was loved by Apollon during the building of the walls of Troy. She bore the god a son named Ileus.
