#the deep nereus

[headfullof-ideas]

AKA, Ant arrives three to four years late to his own show.

Do not take any of these designs (except Ant and maybe the pirates) as final designs. I actually really don’t like the way I drew Fontaine, and this is my first and second time drawing Nereus and Alpheus in this world respectively. Nothing’s cemented with any of them yet.

Except Ant, I really like how Ant turned out

[sapphire-0f-the-seven-seas]

So if the Nektons are descendants of the main Lemurian royal line wouldn't that have make ether Queen Doreus or Nereus their great times like 300 grandparent? Or do they have a secret third sibling that didn't make it onto the statue with them???

Are they ever going to talk about this?

And the fact that Nereus is 6000 years old!?

[httyd-nerd]

Ant took a deep breath before jumping over the table at Nereus.

"Yeah get him!!"

Fontaine cheered as Ant chased Nereus around the room. Will and Kaiko moved to block the exit.

Things are going to sh*t on the Aronnax. They're not going much better on the stinger. There will be one chapter between this one and the happy reunion, followed by Ant going ape sh*t on the Guardians.

My pinterest depicted nereus after going truw a very dangerous adventure with the nektons for the thousanth time in his life.🤣

[colesstar]

imagine a random old man randomly showing up in the depths of the sea where it should be totally way too dangerous for anyone who isnt a professional

[gracebenthos]

I imagine something about Alpheus's royalty... I was reading a story on wattpad who makes me crazy spot considering he is from Lemurian Royal Family.

I have some fun facts who I need to said and are the following:

No 1: Nektons are the descendants of this family whilst their home was Lemuria.

I'm thinking that Will's parents are from Lemuria (as I was thinking and it is true). On my stories, Will knew Alpheus's father (on my story, not in TVshow). The another one which I was thinking is Alpheus's mother gave birth to Alpheus while Alpheus's father, with my reasoning that Alpheus' mother died in childbirth and Alpheus had grown up with his father or his mother tried everything about her son when his father was exploring in abyss.

This is who I was thinking on my brain about my stories who I was written on wattpad (this is a app who can you write stories and read stories, so let's go further).

No 2: Why I said this? Because Alpheus is the youngest one of unbroken line of Lemurian Royalty. That who it's coming is who Alpheus is the Crown Prince of Lemurian Royalty, he's the descended of this family or he might as well be the heir to the Royal Family who his family was trying to give something to Queen of Lemuria.

That's something who I was thinking and I wanted to said this. So, as I thought, this is something who I mentioned Alpheus, why? Because in TVshow shown that Alpheus opened the Ephemycron and Proteus told to Ant and Fontaine about identity of Alpheus.

This is something who I thinking in school and home and I believe that sometimes (if season 5 will released who I don't know) Alpheus will told them about his family and he will come back but I'm not sure yet.

So, without to said a lot, I think to understand me and trust me, this is something who I needed to say (if you wanted to believe me or not, I don't have even problem, if you can or not. We continue.)

No 3: At TVshow, in episode 1 season 2, Ant meet Alpheus Benthos who Alpheus said about the destiny and whatever. His words makes me surprised about this and I'm always thinking. Yeah, I'm thoughtless who I wanted to said.

Alpheus said to Ant this words, I mean he said to Ant that they're namesis and I'm thinking this who I heard a lot of time, I mean the words "You are destined to be my namesis, Antaeus." This makes me interested because I watch The Deep and I remember some quotes from The Deep.

No 4: In episode 4 season 3, is who Alpheus was trapped in Jellyfish. In scenes who Nektons told him to he come with them, he refused and does not want to leave ARIA and his words to the Nektons was "Been of discussion!" This is his words who he said at Nektons and I will say some reasons for what he won't leave ARIA?

Reason 1: Because Alpheus's father created ARIA when Alpheus was little.

Reason 2: She told him stories when Alpheus was little and his father was sure that Alpheus will need company and it was from his father who needed to do this for his son.

And reason 3: Is who Ant wants downloaded ARIA while Alpheus doesn't want it. ARIA told Ant the true who about Alpheus is like pain who he feel that. He is more sure that his father is dead and he don't have some protection from nobody unless he programmed ARIA to protect him from some dangerous.

No 5: In the end of episode, he said that he won't be here in the next episodes because Nektons doesn't see him again after from this dangerous who he was did. Sometimes Ant and his family will see Alpheus again but when? We don't know yet about if Alpheus will come back...

[dark-orca-dynasty]

Alpheus! Something to keep in mind is that all that info next to him is from his point of view and he is not a reliable narrator. It's a little bit ego and a little bit misinformed, but he's also not entirely wrong about Nereus not liking him. The man remembers Lemuria falling, and that it was a Benthos who caused it.

I went for comfy minimal clothes instead of my original techwear inspired plans (it involved many extraneous buckles) because I thought he'd like something low effort when he's not expecting to be around people. Which is probably a lot of the time, unless Proteus is travelling with him.

[my-name-is-apollo]

I had not expected the Apollo vs Poseidon in the Dionysiaca to go so hard:

"And now a fiery chief stood up to the champion of the deep: Phoibos, to fight with Poseidon. He set shaft on string, and also lifted a brand of Delphic fir in each hand doubledextrous, to use fire against the surging sweep of water, and arrows against the trident. Fiery lance and watery arrows crashed together: while Phoibos defended his home the upper air rattled a thunderclap for a battlesong; the stormy trumpet of the sea brayed in the ears of Phoibos — a broadbeard Triton boomed with his own proper conch, like a man half-finished, from the loins down a greeny fish — the Nereids shouted the battlecry — Arabian Nereus pushed up out of the sea and bellowed, shaking his trident."

(Book 36, Trans. William Henry Denham Rouse )

Apollo is fighting Poseidon standing on Delos - an island - completely surrounded by Poseidon's domain. He's ambidextrous apparently and is using fire against Poseidon's water. There's thunder in the skies sounding like a battle song (thanks Zeus) and the roar of the waves is tearing Apollo's ears (thanks Triton). Poseidon has his entire gang cheering for him.

Like don't get me wrong, Apollo peacefully refusing to fight Poseidon in the Iliad is good on its own, but their fight in Dionysiaca is so so fun to visualise.

Yan!Samurai X Maid!Reader

Context: This is the part three. Here's the part two → Part Two

Content Warning:- 18+++ Contains some Yan themes and *coughs* Pervy themes as well

Synopsis: you are assigned to the Samurai general Nereus as, his personal maid during a war after he killed his previous maid. You are supposed to tend to his every needs even those of sexual ones since he is a general who's leading the war and unmarried.

━─━────༺ - ༻────━─━

Nereus X Y/N

★ Nereus walked to the pond with his erection,where you were supposedly taking a bath alone.He can't wait,he can't wait to see you as yourself. You have always hidden your beautiful body by layers of clothing. While other personal maids were seducing their masters for their own selfish reason,here you were, hiding his body from him.

★ He stopped as he heard the sound of water splashing. It was past evening and darkness has already started spreading everywhere. Nereus paced towards the pond. Green Forest surrounded the pond area hiding it from the outside.

★ He hid behind a huge old tree and looked towards the pond. He saw your clothes and dim lit lamb. But you were nowhere to be seen. He searched you around with his eyes until he saw swimming in the pond. All naked

★ His hand traveled to his abdomen and parted the robe and grabbed his thick and veiny cock. He gave it a tight squeeze and gazed at you,you were done swimming and now cleaning yourself with the herbs.

★ He leaned on the tree with his left forearm while he groped his own cock and pumbed it. Pre-cum oozing out of his dick,as he bit his lip to prevent the urge to moan.

★ Y/N was done with cleaning her body and she was bathing herself again. Nereus thought to himself - One day we will bath in the hot spring in my home together and you will be under me,gazing up at me with your teary eyes begging me to let you cum as I pushed my fingers in and out of your pussy.

★ He imagined,what could be her favorite position? Standing? Or doggy style? Or maybe I should just rut into her as a feral beast does. Wouldn't she enjoy it?

★ In his fantasies,he had you under him,in the mating press. Your legs on his shoulder while your pulsating pussy was being abused by his throbbing dick. He will pound himself deep into you while his cum paints your walls white. Every time he pulls out, the cum would immediately pool out from your hole only to be pushed in with his dick again. yes, he will fuck you till the sun rises if you want.

★ He looked at you,and you were done bathing. And what are you doing?? Y/N was looking at her tits with a frown,she then raised her hand and palmed both her bust and muttered “ They do feel uncomfortable sometimes ”

★ Nereus pumped faster,his pupil dilating. Are you going to give him a show?? Oh then just bent down just like that,all naked. And show me your pretty pussy. Your busts were probably larger than your palms. Nereus slightly parted his mouth and imagined his mouth on those brownish nipples of yours. He swirled his tongue inside his mouth as if he's playing with your nipples.

★ And then you came out of the water, unaware of his presence. Your naked body in his sight. It awakened something feral in him. He saw your hairy pussy and just wanted to pounce on you and fuck you till your pretty little cunt is full of his cum.

★ His body shivered and his hips jolted thick streams of cum burst out of him. He fell on his knees. The impact was too much. Seeing you naked for the first time and being able to get himself off of it.

★ He partially laid on the mat of grass,his knees bent in pleasure and his right hand pushing out the remaining cum.

He wonder,what you will do if you see him like this?? Would you run away ?? Or would you help him with it ???

WIP Whenever

It's been a while since I've shared a proper snippet, and since I've been working on the next chapter of As Fate Would Have It this week I thought I'd post a little excerpt from it:

“Calchas, a priest of Agamemnon, ordered a great sacrifice, a hecatomb. Apollo, the far-seeing god, sent him a vision that a great warrior would be needed within their ranks for the war to be won. My son is already famed for his speed and his skill with a spear. Agamemnon believes that it is my Achilles that shall win this war for him.”

Nereus listens to her attentively, stroking his long, mossy beard; he stays silent for a long moment after she finishes speaking, his features dark in thought. “And does he believe true, daughter?”

Thetis holds her tongue. Of all the gods, only Themis, who gave her the prophecy, and Ilithyia, who helped her during labour, know of Achilles' fate. Both goddesses are bound to her by oaths of trust and friendship. She has never spoken the truth of it to anyone else, for fear that they might use it against him.

“I do not know, my lord.”

A susurrus of whispers swells around her at once. Thetis ignores them, letting them wash over her like the tide. 

“There must be other warriors, much stronger and more experienced, that could fulfill that prophecy,” a voice comes, heavy with disdain and louder over the others. It is Amphitrite, one of the fifty nereids, who steps forward. Her long black hair is arranged in a myriad of thin yet intricate braids, sturdy like ship rope, and the fabric of her white dress is thick like a ship’s sails; no doubt a memento from one of the many shipwrecks she or her monstrous offspring have caused. Her face, though exquisitely beautiful once, is now marred by the deep grooves and scars left from her battle with a leviathan long ago. Of all her sisters, Amphitrite is the one Thetis has always liked the least. “Why did the King of Mycenae want your son, who has never fought in a war before, who has never bloodied his spear, to fight for him? That boy is little more than a baby in the cradle." 

Thetis meets her sister's challenge with a cool, detached look. “Perhaps you should ask Agamemnon's priest directly," she tells her flatly. "Or better yet, Apollo, god of mice and locusts, who gave the prophecy. I am not privy to his thoughts or reasons.”

She could argue with Amphitrite in front of the whole court; insist on the legendary quality of her son’s prowess in battle, but that would not serve her. It would not serve either of them. Better far to let them believe that this is nothing but a dream sent to a seer by a confusing and capricious god.  

Thetis POV scenes may just be my favourite to write ngl!!!

Tagging forth to (no pressure) @darlingpoppet @spineless-lobster @baejax-the-great @iktend @rowanisawriter @supernova3space @calciumyum and literally anyone else who would like to share some art or fic they're currently working on?? Idrk who else to tag haha sorry :')

[headfullof-ideas]

Had an epiphany while designing Nereus about how ‘I cannot make this man six thousand years old and the brother of Queen Doreus’ because that’s…not a feasible thing in the httyd universe. I’ve already established magic isn’t one of the things I’m bringing over from The Deep, so whatever magic anti-aging cream Nereus has didn’t make it into his luggage when I scooped him up and placed him into my story. I’m also thinking of ideas for Queen Doreus, and it’s gonna be a bit easier than tweaking Nereus cause we know NOTHING about her other than the fact that she was Nereus’s older sister, the last Queen of Lemuria, and conked a bunch of sea monsters on the head before peacing out to who knows where and then promptly dying (she also presumably had a kid because the Nektons descended from someone and you cannot convince me it was Nereus)

[sapphire-0f-the-seven-seas]

Ant: Why are you acting so weird?

Nereus: I’m the village crazy man. That’s my job.

[httyd-nerd]

Writing the Ant Benthos x age swap au and this came into my head

Nereus: I hope Antaeus won't view Alpheus as competition. I hope they can get along and rule Lumuria together.

Ant to Alpheus: We are going to commit so many crimes together. But first! You need to learn how to cry on command, come on I'll teach you.

Nereus: I fear I may have created a problem... oh well, that's for future me to deal with.

[ro-bee]

I know that The Bishops of Kiran were described as evil and well, not so redeemable characters, but in your Au is there going to be a genuine reconciliation scenario? Because I can't get a scene like the following one out of my head, maybe The Kraken (Daddy) or your version of Shamura (Sorry, I'm bad with names) Confront Kiran with something like: "Why don't you hate us? We literally tried to kill you" and Kiran says: "Because you are my family and I still love them", you can't tell me that something like that wouldn't break them emotionally, because let's be honest, if Kiran is the eldest, that means that they are alive because of him and at least there must be a little affection (Very very very deep in their rotten souls)

Anyway thats all, Also I wanted to tell you that your art Is my biggest font of comfort Now, your art Is amazing and you are amazing, hope you a nice day/night and take care of yoursel

ok so i want them to be redeemed someday ... it would take so much i think ...even more for two of them in particular

their relationship is difficult because they're still angry at kiran for their injuries and stuff

i'm still trying to figure out how their fight went but beside that... borovoi and keketh would be the frist ones to try to actually make peace with kiran, oh it would be emotional i think

they will cry and talk and cry again (kiki will cry tbh) and then hug

i mean they'll try to hug...

anyway for shamuda and nereus would be harder to forgive kiran... they can contain a lot of anger and spite

btw thank you for checking on me ^^ i'm not doing do great again but i keep going your words mean a lot <3!!!

Monthly Cycle of praise

Each day, depending on the number of the month, you may praise a god, goddess, or minor theoi associated with the number. This cycle allows for the learning of Greek myths daily and a deep connection with all of the pantheon. The cycle is based on Hesiod's works.

Notes:

Days which are associated with Horkos may be difficult

Hekate is praised at the end of the month. In short months, simply praise her on a new moon

Praising the gods listed in this list is not necessary, but as these days are sacred, it builds bonds. It's great to praise every God in this religion. It is polytheism, after all!

The cycle

Noumenia, Apollon

Dæmon, Zeus

Athena

Hermes, Aphrodite, Eros

Horkos

Artemis

Apollon

Poseidon, Asklepios, Hephaistos, Hygeia

Dionysus, Misa, Semele

Gaia, Pan, the Nymphs, Horae

Uranus, Aether, Phusis, Nephelae

Demeter, Antaea, Meter Theon

Athena

Kronos, Rhea, Titans

Horkos

Artemis

Dionysus Bassaraeus, Dionysus Licnitus, Dionysus Pericionius

Hera, Zeus of Thunder, Hephaestus
