What’s the significance of each color in Ancient Greece? So green is the only neutral color and it represents mostly natural and earthy things, thank you for telling me that part !! Anyway, as for my Hyacinthus design’s hair being brown, it’s due to the combination of it being a fairly common interpretation of his appearance and also because I find I like how it looks with his skin tone and the purple of his eyes.

Okay, firstly; thank you so much for answering my question too!

Admittedly you can't beat out good, old fashioned colour theory so that's completely fair haha! I still think it's very interesting that brown became the common interpretation of his features so I'm always glad to hear other people's view on it <3

With respect to what colours meant or symbolised in Ancient Greece, it's a super fascinating topic because the Ancient Greeks had a very different perception of colour than how a lot of people - and in this case I'll generalise and say english-speaking people - perceive colour. In a lot of languages, especially older ones, colour wasn't just a way to describe the physical perceptional reality of an observable object (that is, the light reflecting off the object that gives it its perceived hue - the way we perceive colour now) but colour was also used to describe the way in which the people experienced the world. A really good way to think about it is now, if you wanted to distinguish between two types of blue, you would instinctively make a distinction between their shades ("This blue is darker/lighter!") whereas these older people would distinguish based on things in their present, shared world that best matched what they were being asked to describe ("This blue is like the sky/the sea!")

That's an important concept to keep in mind because ancient greek was very unique in that, in addition to this concept of colour being completely intertwined with physical objects (and therefore also acquiring the properties of these objects in the minds of the people), the ancient greeks also did not particularly care about distinguishing between different colour hues (that is, differences in specific individual colour) but rather they were entirely focused on a colour's value - that is, whether it was considered light or dark.

Taking all of this into consideration, the question 'what is the significance of the different colours in Ancient Greece' is a bit of a tricky one to answer because unlike say, Ancient Egyptian which has very clear colours (red, white, green), very clear physical objects that give those colours their property (the desert sand, the sun, people's skin) and very clear symbolic meanings that arose from the natures ascribed to those physical objects due to their influence on the people's lives (hostility, power, new life), Ancient Greece's colours and the perception of those colours was much more abstract and poetic, contingent on their understandings and perceptions of things like light and dark, the sense of touch or taste (sweet and bitter/wet and dry) and what quality was ascribed to the object whose colour is being perceived. Colour was a matter of cosmology, of philosophy and there were many different schools of thought on it from Empedocles' physicalist theories to Anaxagoras' realist theories.

All of this is to say, take the meanings I outlined in this handy-dandy table with a tablespoon of salt! These are based on my understanding of the language used to describe things in classical writings that have survived and my own bias towards Empedocles' physicalist theory of colour and the nature of colour which I also think is very useful for people into greek mythology as a whole due to it making clear links between various gods creating things from mixtures of the four basic elements of nature and the colours that are the result of these mixtures.

I hope this helps even a little and I very much encourage you to do some research into different Greek schools of thought when it comes to colour and the perception of colour as well as how colour affects/reflects the innate nature of all things!

(Also, slight extra note, I left out Kokkinos (scarlet/blood-red) from the table because I didn't really think it was relevant for this outline despite it definitely being an ancient colour. It's a bit difficult to find examples of it with the kind of descriptors Empedocles outlines and I don't want to make assumptions based on third hand knowledge on the greek concept of the nature of things. I'd like to believe it was addressed in more detail in Empedocles' original document - only a fragment of the original some two thousand lines have survived after all - it is confirmed that Empedocles spoke on the recipe for blood and flesh, an equal mixture of all four elements as opposed to bones' four parts fire, two parts earth and two parts water (which is why bones shine white, there's more fire than earth or water) - and I don't want to conject or make assumptions.

I also left out Erythros or basic/primary red according to Plato's list of basic colours because that seemed to have specifically been preferred by Egyptian Greeks according to linguistic data. If I opened up that can of worms with respect to the shared Egyptian-Greek colour language including the way the Greeks like many early peoples did not culturally perceive blue until the invention of Egypt's blue dyes then I would be writing forever and you would never get an actual clear answer about Greek colour symbolism separate and apart from Egyptian cultural influence lmfao. )

A few of the documents that helped me consolidate this information include Sassi's 2022 Philosophical Theories of Colour in Ancient Greek Thought and Ierodiakonou's Empedocles on Colour and Colour Vision. There are also a fair few translations and discussions of the fragments of Empedocles' On Nature still floating about - my copy is a somewhat archaic volume of Leonard's 1908 translation but I never went out searching for updated interpretations and translations of the text since its constantly referenced in perceptional philosophy papers LOL

Anyway, yeah, hope this helps! :D

Ever heard of Kyano?

He's this really good animator who makes Friday Night Funkin animations using Frame Picker.

Here are some screenshots from a few of his videos. I highly recommend his channel to you guys. I guarantee that you will laugh your butts off 😄

[eternal-dragon-of-time]

Noticed some fun stuff regarding the items in the glacetomb shop

First off. We have confirmed evidence of Khione who is the queen of the ice elves. The Elven account in the Tara and Aria's scrapbook <3 is obviously biased, but if we assume that it at least is accurately telling who died that means that Glace and Kyanos fought with the 'Guardian of Ice' Fimbul, the Queen of the elves Khione, and our mysterious third party Al---ch (Aliaech?).

The frost shatter spear description is prophesying a breaking of a frozen prison, and releasing of those trapped in a timeless void. Note the use of the word 'Awakening' in the title.

Then we have the Lumen Ice Shillelagh. Its described as a staff for sealing and for laying spirits to rest, but a Shillelagh is a walking stick that also functions as a weapon for dueling. Even more interesting than that discrepancy is that Glace's mysterious cryomancer student had to lay Glace to rest with the beasts she defeated in an eternal sleep. Glace is dead, or at least her spirit has definitely passed on because she's in the Ice Plane, but the tomb is a prison that is going to be awakened and Fimbul describes itself as forever living entity. Tara even notices that it has a connection to the Leylines of Lore.

Guys I don't think Glace actually won that battle.

[exculis]

great. now my mole has a fucking name.

[dingodad]

miserythry (from greek erythro- 'red', as in erthyrocyte 'red blood cell') (also has the word misery in it which is so good), miskyany (from kyanos 'blue'), the greek word for the colour purple is literally already erythrokyanos as in 'red blue'

[wind-rider]

hello hello now I must know who in YOUR story is the most pathetic wet cardboard box cat of a person >:3 hehehe

AHA thank you so much for this question. It is my pleasure to tell you I have two.

On the one hand we have Newt, who works in the Protusol medical archives and is always having the absolute worst day. He's a sopping wet little feral mouse of a man who has a habit of latching onto people who despise his existence (cough cough Aaron). He's simultaneously a ray of sunshine and a socially anxious nervous wreck on his third emotional breakdown of the day and he either knows way too much about you or is utterly clueless. Depends. Bit of a roll of the dice really. At least two people are using him for some ulterior purpose. His best friend is The World's Most Generic Man who was raised as a biological android and Newt is currently having the worst time ever trying to figure out what's going on with him (the answer is Kyano. The answer is always Kyano.)

The other one is Matt, who is a Whole Child (well, more like half of one, poor guy) who got their identity eaten accidentally by their brother and was found half-dead in a bush by a different child (Kia, who thought they were dead and brought them home like a cat bringing home a dead bird). They are very skittish very shy always having at least three simultaneous emotional breakdowns and their adoptive family isn't even sure if Matt is their name, it was just what was written on the paper in their pocket. They certainly don't know. Names kind of slip through the cracks when you've lost your entire identity, personality, and sense of self. Wet kicked puppy of a guy. They're having the worst time.

Finally finished the outfits for these two! This is Winedark and his yucky wife whom he loves, Kyanos

[bacteriashowdown]

Cyanobacteriota

Group: Terrabacteria

Gram-stain: Negative

Etymology: From the Greek "kyanos", meaning "blue" (cognate with cyan), for their blue-green color. Formally, the phylum is named for the bacteria Cyanobacterium steinieri, but the term "cyanobacteria" predates this very recent choice of representative. "Cyanobacteria" was originally proposed as an alternative name for the somewhat dubious grouping "blue-green algae".

About: Cyanobacteriota are best known for causing an ancient apocalypse. They are photautotrophic, and largely characterized by their use of oxygenic photosynthesis, which they are thought to be the first organism to develop. This caused the Great Oxygenation Event -- an ancient mass-extinction event -- where the oxygen produced by Cyanobacteriota reached high concentrations in the earth's atmosphere. This killed off the majority of life on the planet. But it paved the way for new life! Us animals owe our existence to Cyanobacteriota, who essentially terraformed the earth for us. No big.

Some Cyanobacteriota are hardcore polyextremophiles, such as the bacterial genus Chroococcidiopsis. This genus contains bacteria capable of sustaining both high and low temperatures, extremely low pressures, high amounts of radiation, and arid environments with very low humidity. Because of this, they have been suggested as the bacteria most likely to survive on Mars (the phylum Deinococcota being perhaps their only rival). Bacteria from this genus have spent 7 years in the lab within a biofilm that was exposed to Mars-like conditions (aridness and fluctuating ultraviolet radiation), and were able to recover after rewetting.

Another huge contribution of Cyanobacteriota to the development of life is chloroplasts. These organelles, found in the cells of plants and algae, are believed to descend from ancient Cyanobacteriota, who lived symbiotically inside a eukaryotic host cell. Over generations, the host cells became more reliant on these endosymbionts, and vice-versa. And eventually... plants! The diagram below depicts this event, as well as the earlier merger of the mitochondria, which came from Pseudomonadota (Proteobacteria). The Cyanobacteriota, in the form of chloroplasts, are what gives plants their ability to photosynthesize.

One genus of Cyanobacteriota that you may have seen on your lawn is Nostoc, a bacteria capable of forming "star jelly". The Nostoc bacteria, pictured in the first photo of this post, are often long and filamentous. They form colonies consisting of bacteria suspended in a sheath of polysaccharides. When it rains, these colonies swell up into a kind of "jelly" that always reminded me of seaweed. The name "star jelly" comes from the fact that it is only visible after rainfall: this gave the illusion of spontaneous generation, and some people believed that the substance had fallen from the sky. There are numerous alternate names, and my favorite is "angel snot".

The inner taxonomy of Cyanobacteriota has been undergoing significant revisions recently, and the type species (the species for whom the phylum's name is attributed) was declared in 2022.

Flame from the Beyond theory

spoiler for VotS and RoCT

This train of thought is following the pattern that VotS and RoCT have set with the threats having a connect with the Avatars, with VotS being Neso and RoCT being Iona after replacing Haeos. So FftB would have something to do with Fiamme in one way or the other if it follows the same pattern.

I doubt she's going to pull a Neso and try to invade Lore and Galanoth wouldn't even think of trying to usurp her, so how would Fiamme be tied to FftB?

What if Fiamme wasn't the original Avatar of Fire and is actually a Champion or Envoy that replaced the real one?

I spit balled the idea before of the Avatars being Champions that raised to the position of Avatar by privilege of being the first to pop into existence. Mostly due to the fact that Fiamme had a human/mortal form when Tyndarius and Malgor usurped her and her not showing a bit of surprise about that fact now that I'm going thro cutscenes again.

By now, we've seen 3 people replace an Avatar throu vary means of doing so - Tyndarius usurping Fiamme with Malgor's help, Abel being the highest authority still around with Kyanos dead, and Haeos giving his postion to Iona. It wouldn't be so far fetch for someone has tried or succussed before the events of the game, or even before the Avatars started coming to Lore. We also don't have any info on what the Avatars were doing before coming to Lore in the handful of entries of things in ancient history. That might actually the "from the Beyond" part of the title.

Not all Planes would have had a Champion before coming to Lore - Kyanos being surprised by Glace showing up - but that don't rule out them not showing up before. Just there was no records of them before Lore.

This is the only thing I got to prove the point that Fiamme was mortal at some point, since the point was made that Champions aren't elemental and Avatars are considered to be, and she has a mortal form. Maybe this will answer the question on if a plane can a multiple Champions at the same time running around.

This is going to be the thing that proves if she's an Avatar or Champion when it comes down to it, depending on how things play out.

So, Fiamme was either a Champion or Envoy before coming to Lore (not the first one on Lore since i think that one was talked about in Gale's diary in Frostval 2023) and overthrew her Avatar, became the Avatar of Fire then went to Lore to increase the influence of the Plane of Fire. Depending on how her raise to Avatar-ship happened, the original Avatar might be slowly making their way to Lore to take back control of the Plane of Fire.

SO SO SO pair this with the other running themes of the Jus Divinum inciting the threats to happen, elves fallout out of favor with their Avatars, Sparagmos doing something, weird ritual rocks and platforms, and throw in Walic's nightmares about fire as a change up, this is going to be a fucking trip in a year or 2 depends on what story arc is happening next. Also Firestorm Onslaught and Elius could probably come back, since there's definably some unresolved feelings there with Fiamme and Tyndarius's death.

[pony-central]

These are the four BF's I chose that were similar to the base game BF. They're all different in animation style, so if you have heard of any of these animators, you can vote

[eternal-dragon-of-time]

Shadowflame finale is actually really good. It sucks that AE flopped the queen of monsters arc but I think that this is a graceful ending to what was such a divisive villain and story. I'm always a sucker for Self-Inserts With Plot Significance and I think the Malgor plotline does an olympic landing in that regard.

Also the Gravelyn, Drakath, and Tara questline flavourtext is so funny and I love them.

[exculis]

Love the name Kyanos. REFUSE to shorten it to Ky. I will NOT be another non binary named Kai but spelled different. Bad enough that my fursona is named Koi
