[Apollo]

Not insanely neat (Im so serious I just hate clean lineart/anatomy at this rate) but yall haven't seen Apollo fully grown in my design so here he is!!

He does grow into the solar flare-ish wisps (that Helios also has!) Because you see in the old piece that he doesn't have any, just curls!!

There's some other easter eggs but I'll let yall find them (or not)

Its Odette Time! this is a slightly late submission for the ptutu aspec week prompt ‘Courage’. its a redraw/reframing of one of my FAVORITE shots in the show, the s1 finale pas de deux lift, seen under the cut.

now, you may be wondering, "nyan, who the hell is odette?" and. well. thats on me i havent actually posted her to tumblr yet. partially bc odettes main design is made by my brother, partially bc im not sure the people will like her, shes on my artfight (nyanbinary87) if you have that, but if you dont, the TLDR is that shes mytho AND tutu. like, post-finale, if the "the pendant was a heart shard" was more literal and transgender.

but hold on, this is ASPEC week, not trans week! why is she here? well, its up to the mods if this is okayed as a submission, since odette is primarily a trans headcanon of mine. but, she is Also aspec, and this piece aims to emphasize that aspect of her. see, one of my favorite things about odette is how she completely reframes mytho and tutus relationship from a semi-romantic one to one of self love. theres something so beautiful in your true self putting together your false self because she only wants your happiness, even if it means her disappearance.

to emphasize that, this tutu takes on a form less like duck's tutu form. she borrows elements from my brothers odette design, which is basically siegfrieds design on a dress, as well as dropping elements from duck to favor the actual swan lake odette, particularly in the hair.

in a hyperthetical modern au, what tv shows or music you think your characters would like?

rubs my little hands together. i have absolutely awful taste in television which is sure to reflect in this here we go

arisanna: she's a crime drama girl. i am so certain of it. criminal minds all day every day. vexed or unvexed the answer is the same. i have no idea why she gives off this vibe but my god she does. she also has pretty much every episode of bluey memorized because she puts it on for her siblings constantly (and loves it herself, let's be real).

sylph: i grab sylph and grant them my love of cartoons. they are that guy who's seen every episode of steven universe and gravity falls and star vs. the forces of evil and adventure time and bob's burgers and rick and morty and amazing world of gumball and south park and

owen: i have a list of lil headcanons for owen that have very little impact on the plot and one of them is that he LOVES star wars. all of it. yes, even that movie. yes, even that show. boy has watched every star wars show disney has put out and loves all of them. my boy loves sci fi and has probably seen a lot of doctor who

rowan: she loves competition shows, but only if they're actually DOING something. stuff like cooking competitions or singing ones or dance ones, she's all in, but she HATES dating competition shows. sometimes juniper will watch something like the circle with her so they can poke fun at it the whole time. "babe they're not even DOING anything how come these people get a shot at winning money for NOTHING"

mal: mal watching tv looks like this

i recently remembered DickTim Week 2024 is happening very soon and i looked at the prompts again to see if i could get anything out for it and. the Hades & Persephone AU prompt for day 1 has got me really thinking so here's a vague concept i plan to write.

i've been pretty burnt out on modern Hades & Persephone retellings because of how they always seem to fall into the same generic "innocent wide-eyed girl runs from her evil mean mother into the arms of a dark mysterious man because actually she went willingly and chose to marry him" which has gotten repetitive for my tastes. (for clarity i don't care if this retelling is your cup of tea personally, so long as you're not actively trying to rewrite the original myth and claim untrue things about it, if this is your favorite flavor i sincerely hope you enjoy the buffet i just have little interest in it since it feels overdone for me and exhausted of it's supposed commentary atp)

but? but. biblically accurate Hades & Persephone AU has me all kinds of interested. because wait listen so hear me out right. Hades!Dick and Persephone!Tim, obviously. i feel it'd be more loosely inspired by with themes and imagery (though playing with death and nature powers could be interesting, i haven't decided) rather than explicitly making them gods and all. but. something dark and fucked up where Dick and Bruce are especially estranged. maybe to do with Jason's return, maybe to do with them just clashing and having their usual explosive arguments. and Bruce knows the peace needs to be kept, if he and Dick are at odds then everyone starts to pick sides and things just fracture so he needs a peace offering.

and the peace offering is Tim.

Bruce (the stand-in for Zeus) offers up Tim. agrees to have Tim move to Bludhaven and be Dick's... whatever Dick wants him to be. knowing that with the implication comes the likelihood of Dick grooming Tim. and Tim has no real say and is hesitant to put up a real fight. he doesn't want this, he knows what this is going to imply Dick will do to him, but he also knows if he says no things have the possibility to just... fall apart. so he's the unwilling bride, dragged off to the metaphorical underworld (Bludhaven) with Dick, away from his family, his friends, the life he built.

and on the flip side, i think weirdly enough, your best pick for the Demeter stand-in is *Jason*. just, hear me out on that. not necessarily on the side of it being motherly, but on Jason being just estranged enough from the Batfamily to be the one willing to call it out for being bad and wrong and raising bloody hell to get Tim back. maybe it's because Jason wants Tim for himself, maybe it's truly out of a concern for Tim to have autonomy, i'm toying with the idea of it primarily being Tim's POV and him genuinely not knowing which of these is true. (and the truth possibly ends up being a complicated middle ground) and because i like Helena, i think you can use her as the Hekate stand in, the one who strikes a tentative alliance with Jason and tries to go find Tim and bring him back. Tim stuck with Dick, getting groomed and hyperaware of it, possibly even getting fucked the whole time as well, knowing he can't go back without causing massive issues for Dick and Bruce because well, Bruce did promise him to Dick. so he has to adjust his whole life, try to figure out being a vigilante in this new city with Dick breathing down his neck the whole time.

and then much like the ending of the myth, a sort of compromise is struck that's a shaky deal for everyone involved. Tim is put on an essential timeshare, going back and forth between Gotham, where he has friends and family and a support system, then getting dragged right back to Bludhaven with Dick in this brutal cycle that he slowly gets used to and stockholm'd into even liking it. Dick isn't so bad, once he gets used to the quirks of their unbalanced 'relationship'. the sex is even something he can adjust to as well. not quite a happy ending but one that sits in this realistic grey area that becomes Tim's life.

i will write this, eventually, but i don't know if i'll get to it before DickTim Week ends so by posting the idea i'm essentially putting it out into the world so the peer pressure holds me accountable. i just. really like the potential of making Hades/Persephone AUs as fucked up as they can be simply by adhering to the source material and making it a raw story of being stolen away and forced to like this new home you didn't ask for.

also a less fleshed-out aspect of this idea i have ties into Persephone becoming the Queen of the Underworld when she's taken and how the transition from Kore to Persephone could be reflected in Tim. how he makes the best of the worst situation and becomes something far more dangerous and dark when he's in Bludhaven, possibly takes on a new vigilante name/identity and leans into the worst quirks of his personality he tries to tamper because there's no point in not going full tilt Obsessively Weird if he has no choice anyway and it being one small way he takes back his autonomy, and that inevitably making Dick *more* into him, because he gets to see Tim finally just. let loose.

Zeus: Girls like compliments. Give her a couple compliments and she'll stop running away.

Poseidon: Got it, thanks. AMPHITRITE!

Amphitrite: *peeks around the rock she's hiding behind*

Poseidon: Your hair in the moonlight, it's so shiny.

Amphitrite: Oh. Uh, thanks.

Poseidon: In the moonlight, your eyes, they sparkle, like... uh, like fish eyes!

Zeus: *facepalms*

Amphitrite:

Poseidon: Like dead fish eyes.

Amphitrite:

Amphitrite: Are you going to kill me?

Poseidon: I mean I don't think so.

LOVECRAFTOBER: DAY FOURTEEN: Yig: Father of Serpents

Affiliation: The Court of Shub-Niggurath Yig only cares about snakes. Yig only commits snake crimes on behalf of the snakes of the world. One day Yig is going to make sure snakes inherit the earth. If you don't like snakes you can go leave because snakes are superior to everything else. Yig says so.

As far as great old ones go, Yig just stays in their own corner and is a crabby snake enthusiast with a perchance for going on hungry rampages in the fall. Bloodthirsty munchies if you will. For the sake of snake kind.

All snakes are hissy meow meow and Yig knows it so get on the same page and join the snake cult already!

---------

Yig was fun to design, but hard! The head design took a lot of tries to get to look right! The bottom half...instead of going classic naga or snake man, went with the whol body is made up of hundreds of writhing snakes, hiding what is below.... eldritch snake god!

[afklancelot]

the thing is with cosmic horror media like the cthulhu mythos and the backrooms is that the minute you add hierarchies and structure to these previously "eldritch" entities, along with a bunch of lore and worldbuilding, the media stops being cosmic horror because there's not much unknowable stuff left. it just becomes horror fantasy/dark fantasy to me
