@officialmisterrose submitted: I found these really cool bugs! First is on my door and second was at work but I'm not too sure on what the second one is if you could help me identify it! I live in [removed] (please remove location :))

I sure can! It's a leaf-footed bug nymph in the genus Acanthocephala.

look what I saw outside so soon after reblogging the very same bugges so recently

[applepies-and-starlight]

I'm not sure if Pequod has a peg leg like Ahab does (she probably does) but if she doesn't then it's a running gag for Rachel to just. Stomp her on that foot to get her to shut up (or alternatively, stab her harpoon through said foot to keep Pequod in one spot)

That panel of Hades meeting Charon initally had the same energy of that one video of Tony and Ezikiel shouting at each other across a lake.

https://youtu.be/jqFdeC7_0_w?si=LSHMquBDuf2zosl1

(The quality thing for that nypmh panel was def a mobile thing, looks awful on my phone, and is actually legibile on my computer. Hope you had fun at your con!)

i'm glad that's the vibe you got because that's precisely the vibe i was going for LOL

"WHAT'S YOUR NAME"

"WHAT??"

"WHAT IS YOUR NAME"

"CHARON"

"FUCK YOU CHARON"

"WHAT'S YOUR NAME???"

"HADES"

In your opinion, which character/s from epic would -In a modern au- know the peppa pig theme song off by heart?

If they we're in a modern au i think this would tottally be Circe and her nymphs, like i imagine circe having some kind of orphanage or smth we're she takes care of the lil nymphs, and the lil nypmhs LOVED PEPPA PIG, Circe was absolutetly so tired of hearing that stupid song everyday

i had to force myself to make her bright pink notes about LO Persephone in MY MIND

Shes 22-23, not 19.

She's also taking a mesh course, focusing on myth legends, ancient greek and literature. This major (or minor?) allows her to have insight into other gods, since she was raised with only Demeter and Hekate and many myths and history is vastly unknown to her. (She's probably in her final year, which allows her to also get an internship with Hades.)

Since she was raised essentially as a mortal, she is easy to empathize and "live" in a way that many gods on Olympus can't. Since nymphs can 'die', Persephone also can experience lost and mourning in a way that most gods can't as well.

She loves her mom, but like any adult she went to school on Olympus to get away from her. Many things about her mom is unknown to her, and vice-versa. She's a good kid to Demeter overall, though.

Her wrath is entirely her own. It was never a gift from Eris, it was never a curse. It's hers, like how her kindness is her own.

(She 'escapes' to Olympus after she kills a mortal after he ruins her mothers sacred tree.)

Athena, though maybe not by blood, is her elder sister-figure. Speaking of relationships here's all her major ones > She is friends/sisters with Artemis and Athena. Athena is the elder sister and she's probably actually a professor at Olympus university, she is definitely more involved than in canon, though. Daphne and Minthe, she naturally is just really close to nypmhs. she's not really close to any men, except maybe Helios and Hermes. Apollo is in a maybe.

She initially falls in love with the idea of Hades. Her feelings aren't just "oh big man with money~" it's more so the adventure and unknown of the underworld, the idea of death, the promise of freedom and discovery-everything that Hades represents, but Hades himself? It's definitely not love at first sight...

She's not straight, or cis. no god is, really.

when we are old & our hearts have beat within us, let us go back, & when we have buried our loves, & shed our bodies piece by piece, & when we have danced & broken our shoes, & danced, let us go back, when we have gone mad, & when we have shut the doors, dismantled our eyes & rifles, let us go back, when we have drunk the wine & licked our lips & put our tongues to the inside of the green glass bottle & laid down our bodies old as trees, streets, let us go back, when we have told our stories & forgotten our stories, & set the tables & made the beds, let us go back, & received other bodies into our bodies, let us go, when we have entered, & opened, & opened our mouths, let us go back, […] when the poem has been sung, when the strings & tambourines, when all the birds have gathered at the window, let us go, let us go back there, let us go back —Aracelis Girmay, from “Litany,” Teeth (Curbstone Press, 2007)

Im a nypmh. A forest nymph specifically. My days are spent dancing and singing and existing in the forest I was born to. Its great really. My forest is even protected so I dont need to worry about any sapios coming in an bothering me!

But Im also trans. Im a guy. But nymphs are supposed to be feminine and Im. Not. Ive already felt myself loosing connection with this forest as I begun transitioning. Im scared that if I fully transition, Ill lose it entirely. Can that happen? Or is the forest just disappointed in me?

Should I stop my transition? Ive tried to communicate with the forest but she wont respond to me when I bring it up. Im just not sure what to do

I'm sorry your forest seems to be struggling with your transition, reader. However, I think there is plenty of reason to stay optimistic here. You know as well as anyone that, if a powerful nature spirit really doesn't want you around, you'd know about it. The fact you still have a connection with her means she still wants you to have a connection with her.

You're correct in saying that nymphs tend to be female, but my understanding is that this is a linguistic matter rather than a biological one. The word we use for females of your genus is “nymph”, while males with similar cultural identities tend to be referred to as “satyrs”.

Your feeling of disconnect are very likely more related to how you perceive yourself rather than how the forest is perceiving you. The fact is, you cannot simultaneously think of nymphs as inherently feminine, and of yourself as a nymph, while also respecting and celebrating your own masculine identity.

Your forest can feel that inner conflict. She can see you're no longer comfortable with your identity as a nymph, but doesn't have the tools to help you through that discomfort. All she can do is try to give you space, loosening her hold on you and allowing you the freedom to make your own choices.

So, what are those choices, exactly? For one thing, I certainly don't think stopping your transition is a good idea. Your gender is not defined by your body, and a lack of medical transition won't make you any less male.

It also won't solve the underlying issue – that you, as a man, do not feel able to identify as a nymph. In fact, I suspect it will serve to disconnect you even more from your body and your forest, with the pain of dysphoria acting as a constant reminder of the authentic, masculine self you're trying to hide.

Instead, I recommend either unpacking your gendered assumptions around being a nymph, or embracing a positive, male alternative identity for yourself. Do you feel able to say of yourself, “I am a man and a nymph and these do not contradict each other”? Or would you be more comfortable identifying as a satyr or some other identity that feels more affirming?

There isn't a right answer here. You need to find something that works for you. But you do need to make that decision, and try to heal this conflict inside you.

As you do, I feel certain your connection with your forest will bloom anew – different than it was, perhaps, but also more authentic, connecting not with a mere idea or aspiration, but with the man you truly are.

Headcanon: Nausicaa being trained by Artemis

Okay so, I got this idea from the bits I read of Nausi from the Odyssey and then my head started getting these weird ideas like: okay, so if Nausicaä, as described by Ody, looks just like Artemis, wouldn't it just be cool if she was her mentor too? A little princess with a bow and arrow. So wouldn't kinda make her like a priestess too?

HC: Okay so I already have this whole fic in my head where Nausicaä meet the goddess in the woods, because Artemis is literally goddess of the hunt. Duh?

I feel like their relationship with each other would slowly develop (like slowly) because Artemis is mostly use to being around nypmhs so she's quite hesitant around Nausi but learns to trust her seeing that a youn girl like her could not be a threat.

Meanwhile Nausicaä is just taking this chance of allowing herself to take this all in. She can't really tell if Artemis because, (if your a greek nerd like me) gods and goddess's aren't allowed to show their true forms. Most of the times she appears to the princess as deer or a dog.

I also imagine them meeting when Nausi was young (like 14). So that would mean (considering she's 20 like Tele) she's been training for six years, but I think she and Telemachus would get married around 23 so...9?

I can kinda see Artemis being sorta like a big sister figure to her (since Nausi grew up with brothers).

While she (obviously) does teach Nausicaä how to use a bow and arrow, I can kinda see her also teaching her to use swords and spears and using self defense. And after an extra lesson the princess would keep persisting for more.

Using the goddess's skills, Nausicaä knows how to defend herself against rough suitors or enemies (in her older years).

Nausicaä also loves dogs. Has one named Phoebe (who was a gift for Artemis but met the princess instead.) The goddess allowed her to keep it for her good work.

(Why do I already have a whole song for them?)

Nausicaä giving hyacinths flowers for the goddess because they're meant for her brother.

Artemis telling her stories about Orion (her former hunting partner).

I don't think Artemis would allow her to be Nausi next hunting partner until she was 19 or older.

Nausicaä would hardly tell her mentor about her problems with her suitors, only when she's had an extremely rough one.

AHHHH I'M SO TIRED YET SO MANY IDEAS!!!

Anyways have a good day y'all!

Tumblr literally broken I can't get messages so if you send me anything I won't see it 😭😭😭

Ah damn- tumblr is always broken-

Maybe I’ll just shoot them into your inbox?? Idk we shall see- BUT my brain is starting to flesh out ideas and story more

I don’t entirely know if I should follow the books blot, but I think a good story could be fleshed out by somewhat following it. Jamil has a tougher life as a servant and is just trying to keep his sister out of the military.

I think jamil would be a good leecher (new bloods that can leech life out of humans, plants and animals, etc.) There’s some kind of power show off and rook would def be a green warden. So rooks venomous vines w/ thorns would be coming at him, and he’d just. Leech the fucking life out of it.

So now Jamil’s fucking running for his life. He’s absolutely BOOKING it. He’s a bit scratched up and his clothes are sorta torn and if you look close he’s bleeding but he runs right into Azul, local nypmh merchant. Jamil basically ignores him and continues booking it, but unaware to him, he bled onto Azul’s clothes.

Eventually Jamil gets caught like the book and they’re like “ah. Shit. Uh. You know what secret child of a silencer and green warden. New member of the court can you believe it!! We can’t believe we lost this dude as a baby!!”

But no one realizes that AZUL knows.
