Actually I really like that Percy is Thalia's look-alike in the books with their matching black hair and green eyes and the ichor of such powerful gods running through their veins and their mirrored personalities. I like that Annabeth and Luke both looked at Percy and saw Thalia and I love thinking about what a sucker punch Percy must have felt like to the both of them.

#riordanverse #percy jackson #thalia grace #pjo #percy jackson series #annabeth chase #luke castellan #is rick going to forget and fuck up his own symbolism? tune in next year or whenever the fucking show comes out #he already did it once in the books when he forgot Thalia's eye color and changed it to blue #annabeth thought he was a child of zeus despite all evidence to the contrary because percy looks like thalia

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

I love Hermes teehee also I decided that Athena should have the lightning scar from God Games so just pretend that I drew it on the other gf/epic drawings of her hehe

#doctorsiren #gravity falls #epic the musical #greek mythology #stanley pines #hermes #pallas athena #mythology falls au #gravity falls fanart #epic the musical fanart #digital art #my art #procreate #is it ironic to have a floating character holding a book titled ‘physics’#ALSO!!#apparently one of Hermes’ symbols / animals is the goat #and there IS always that goat (gompers?) hanging around the mystery shack #dw that’s just Hermes keeping an eye on things 😊🫶#also Hermes is a ‘dream god’ and I feel like that makes him a good parallel to bill bc both are trickster dream gods essentially

I randomly got dragged to Mormon church and met the illustrator for A Series of Unfortunate Events who is apparently a bishop at the church, and now we are Instagram mutuals. today was so bizarre

#dw im not converting to mormonism #the Mormon missionary that asked me to go was also a native American girl & if u know about this history between natives and mormons....uhhh #one of the priests also gave this bizarre speech about how illogical the book of mormon was and how joseph smith makes 0 sense #but he was like “but its supposed to be confusing so i still believe in this religion” ???#they were all super duper nice too but kind of in the customer service way. a mormon girl also complimented my friend's lesbian jewelry #lesbian jewlery as in it was literally two female symbols linked together #it was VERY obvious and we asked the girl why she liked it and she was like. “uhh i just like jewlery hehe!!!”

everyone's joking about a lesbian love triangle being the focus of rhaenyra/alicent/mysaria's stories in hotd s3 but that will literally be what happens when mysaria acts to uphold and support the image of rhaenyra as queen (or rhaenyra's duty) and alicent is kept prisoner (or a hidden but unavoidable reminder of rhaenyra's love). and so the love triangle will serve to represent rhaenyra's internal conflict between love and duty

#and if you are me and subscribe to the theory that alicent will escape to dragonstone with rhaenyra after the riots in KL #then rhaenyra chooses alicent/love #i think the book page foreshadows this attempt at escape #“traveling across the narrow to flee a war of dragons”#alicent going to dragonstone with rhaenyra would also totally recontextualize rhaenyra selling her crown to pay for passage #rhaenyra abandons this ultimate symbol of her duty for a final chance at happiness with alicent #and then there's the horrible irony of the audience already knowing that aegon ii has taken dragonstone as they sail toward the island #knowing that rhaenyra and alicent could never actually be physically liberated from the system of patriarchal violence they exist in #but by that point they have both mentally liberated themselves from it #rhaenyra selling her crown and alicent finally accepting rhaenyra's offer to run away and totally abandoning duty #and so the love was important and valuable in the sense that they both die understanding that they couldn't change the part they played #but they know now that they had this love that sustained them despite the plotting and scheming and violence #and the love will be forgotten by history but not by them and in that their love will finally be free #crazy actually that they decided to do this shit with a game of thrones prequel #hotd #alicent hightower #hotd spoilers #rhaenicent #rhaenyra targaryen #house of the dragon #also they are having gay sex on the boat to dragonstone i saw it in a vision

“He got to his room with none the wiser, changed out for bed, and collapsed into his blankets with a content sigh. Sleep was easy after a long day and a good dinner, but when he dreamed it was of bloodied ravens locked in an iron cage.”
