in the bronze age were there more dresses that women wore? i know the well-known minoan dress, but was there another? asking bc I was reflecting on how achilles would be able to hide as a woman if we consider the dress to be historically accurate from the bronze age, as it shows too much of the neck and chest for it to be practical to a man pretend to be a woman. the representations of him hiding are always wearing peplos, which really makes it easier since it covers the region and is even looser, but did peplos already exist in the bronze age?
i was unsure if: a) there was another model of dress that made the disguise easier b) creative freedom of the myth in considering that no one noticed that achilles had no breasts and he had an adam's apple c) this myth emerged/became popular at a time when the models were already different, so although the story theoretically takes place in the bronze age, the popular imagination was with dress models that were not from that time. i.e a kind of natural anachronism, which is not an impossibility since the Iliad itself does this here and there
That's a good question and you don't know how many weeks I have pondered the answer to this 😂😂😂 Since the art we have from the 8th century BCE is mostly stick figures, I tried to find the next oldest and closest to the war depictions of men and women. (6th century BCE)
But first, a 8th century b.C. Boeotian amphora, from Thebes, which probably depicts a nature goddess. Artwork-location: Athens, National Archaeological Museum. (I have to celebrate my accomplishment of finding a full figure!!)
Ok, now some 6th BCE century ones:
Attic Black-Figure Volute-Krater, known as the François vase, ca. 570-565 BCE signed by the potter Ergotimos and the painter Kleitias depicting young men and women holding hands and dancing in a line.
Attic Black-Figure Hydria, ca. 510-500 BCE depicting women filling jugs at the public water fountain.
Attic Black-Figure Neck Amphora by Swing Painter c. 540-530 BCE depicting the legendary “Judgement of Paris.”
Judgement of Paris, from the Louvre, 560-550 BCE
Also based on the 8th century BCE stick figures, looks like generally dressing for men and women was different at the time. There are some choices for wider clothing, but there's also the matter of the Adam's apple.
I got a possible answer, from another amphora depicting Achilles:
Thetis brings grieving Achilles his new weapons. Side A of an Attic red-figure volute-krater, ca. 460 BC.
There's always the option of a wide cloak which covers your Adam's apple, too! While this amphora is latter, and the cloak is for mourning, there's the option of the complete cover. I haven't found it so far in 8th c. BCE depictions but... why not. Our ancients did nothing else but drape fabrics.
If the part with Achilles disguising as a woman is latter, the anachromism would be the Greek women veiling in later eras makes it easier for him to cloak himself completely.
If somoene knows more, please add it to reblogs :)

Can you give a brief summary of your AUs please?
Sure! :)
Breath of the Sky: A year after Skyward Sword, the newlywed lovebirds are slingshot into the future just before the Calamity. They now have to navigate being in this place, revered as Hylia and the Hero of Myth, while BotW Zelda and Link figure out how the heck they’re supposed to accommodate and deal with it. Chaos and lots of drama ensue. Currently playing: the Lovebirds and the Anxious Duo travel together with the Champions to survey Hyrule and see the Divine Beasts.
Forsaken AU: Original AU with original characters. When Princess Zelda, known for her prowess with her magic and her confidence in her abilities, gets disturbing visions of an oncoming darkness, she tries to claim the Triforce for herself to protect Hyrule. However, the Triforce shatters at her touch as she isn’t worthy to wield all three pieces, and she inherits the Triforce of Power. Put out but not defeated, Zelda goes on a quest to find the fated Hero of Hyrule - she knows it’s usually a dude named Link, and he likely will bear at least another piece of the Triforce, so that’s two birds, one stone! Except… half the kingdom names their boys Link. But after going through half a bajillion Links, two of them are promising! One she can sense a strong magic in, even though he just says he’s a masseur and knows nothing about fighting. The other hardly says anything at all, but Sir Edgy and his faithful doggie companion can’t keep hiding his secrets from her forever.
Blood of the Hero: Ten years after the Calamity, the Shrine of Resurrection is damaged, leaving Link vulnerable and dying. Link’s parents, Abel and Tilieth, who were on the Great Plateau protecting the shrine, are now tasked with saving their son’s life by taking him to the Sheikah shrines across the land. Currently playing: Link’s still out of it but he’s about 5-6 hearts and one stamina vessel in and showing signs of improvement while his dad has a complete spiral from ten years of PTSD buildup and his mom tries to pick up the pieces and take care of them both. Oh, and Impa thinks they’re all insane.
The Imprisoning War: Millennia before Hyrule Warriors, Ganondorf attempts to steal the Triforce and it predictably shatters, starting a two year war that nearly destroys both Hyrule and the Gerudo. The other two Triforce piece bearers are HW Link’s predecessor, the half-Sheikah/half-Hylian named Link, who is madly in love with Ganondorf’s daughter and came to look at Ganon as something of a father figure, and Zelda, who has to overthrow her father to lead Hyrule to victory. Once Ganondorf is defeated, things only get worse for Link as he has to abandon Hemisi, the woman he loves who just helped him and Zelda defeat her father, and enter an arranged marriage with Zelda to save what’s left of their broken kingdom. (Backstory for Golden Mercy)
Golden Mercy: When Ganondorf returns during Hyrule Warriors, he’s on a mission to make things right, though what that means is beyond everyone around him. Kidnapping the Hero of Hyrule and telling him he’s protecting him from the Queen is not what anyone expected, and nobody can quite figure out what his ultimate goal is. Link sure is confused, though, and… starting tor realize there’s more to Ganondorf than just being a monster. Zelda, on the other hand, is quickly spiraling with panic and fear over losing her friend and Hero, as well as trying to protect her kingdom from such a threat that was so dangerous the previous Hero split his soul into pieces to prevent him from ever returning. (Lots of redemption arcs. Lots of them.)
Wild Spirit: When BotW Link is mortally wounded in the Calamity, Zelda decides that Hyrule can be saved more quickly if she lets the Spirit of the Hero be reborn in a new Hero rather than hope a potentially malfunctioning shrine can maybe heal her friend in a few decades and he might not even know what to do. BotW Link dies, but his spirit remains to guide the next Hero, a young man from Lurelin Village. This new Link is friends with his strange spirit companion, and slowly learns his destiny as he grows older. Now that he’s of age, he must take up th mantle of Hero of Hyrule, and his first task is to find the Master Sword, which was entrusted to his predecessor’s father, Abel.
Dad Squad: This one I share with @nancyheart11 and literally anyone else who wants to jump in and have fun with the Dads. When the Yiga use new magic to jump to different points in Hyrule’s history and kidnap Heroes of Hyrule, it’s up to their Dads to save them. Then again, Link doesn’t really need saving all that often, and putting a bunch of Links together is never a good idea for the bad guys, so the Links bust themselves out. But now they’re running around lost and confused, the Dads are still trying to find their Boys, and the Yiga are somewhere in the middle. As for their motives… well. There’s a dark magical mask, maybe a Bad Dad demon king, and a whole bunch of idiocy chaos.
LU in Healthcare: Basically what it says on the tin. The Chain is in modern land and they’re all involved in the world of healthcare! And somehow everyone tolerates my pittance of updates/lore.
Hero of Shadow: During the events of TotK, the demon king discovers the grave of someone he knew and loved dearly - a young Sheikah/Hylian warrior named Link. Using his powers, Gan resurrects him at a price, to ensure that his boy stays safe and loyal. Meanwhile, this young shadow warrior is trying desperately to break free of his father figure’s control while fighting his own feelings on the matter, and his only guide is a strange mystical voice that leads him to shards of a broken sword. In the surface, TotK Link is starting to figure out that something else is going on in the depths. (Essentially, I threw my Imprisoning War blorbos into TotK)
…I think that’s all of them. Wow, I have a lot of AUs lol. So much for brief. 🥴
#you ask skye answers#lovely anon#lu in healthcare#Imprisoning war#good ganondorf#golden mercy#Blood of the hero#Forsaken au#wild spirit#breath of the sky#I have another post that summarizes them far more succinctly but it isn’t like a legit summary LOL#It was a joke post but somehow people found it helpful XD#I’ll see if I can reblog it because it’s probably better than this#I am far too tired and lazy to add links to all of these AUs BUT#You can find links for them in my pinned post :)

My sibling, who is an anime only said they would not be surprised if BKDK became canon considering the depth of their relationship, their interactions, and their character development regarding each other ... despite how Bones added in Izuocha scenes and cut out some critical BKDK moments in most of the seasons so far... And, seeing how one-sided the "love" is between Izuocha, which I believe is deep admiration as of reading the manga- I have to say I agree.
Izuocha, is fine on the surface but is unhealthy. Izuku would not pay attention to Ochaco they he would need to if they were in a relationship. And Ochaco only saw "Hero Deku" rather than all of "Izuku", which would cause her to unknowingly encourage Izuku's reckless self-sacrificial behavior.
BKDK is different because not only they know each other beyond the surface level, but they also have their sights on each other and the mere presence of their partner inspires them to become better and stronger people at heart because they have genuine love for each other...
I honestly do not understand what is in the Dudebros' mind other the fact that they are lacking emotional intelligence and critical thinking... but I will just enjoy what they are missing. (Sorry for rambling...)
Hi anon! Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you (reason in tags). Let me just reply to your ramblings with some ramblings of my own :)
I actually really enjoyed Season 6. The only thing I faulted Bones for, was creating that jarring opening that made out like Ochaco was the hero of the retrieve vigilante Deku mission (which sadly only fueled izuochas more on mhatwt), when it was 1000% Katsuki's doing and there is one panel which proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
See this? Who is the one standing in front of Shoto and Tokoyami, addressing the whole class? It's Katsuki! Not Ochaco! She was seated with everyone else. This is why it's so frustrating when they say she was the reason Izuku was brought back to U.A. That arc was all about Katsuki's feelings for Izuku and wanting to return his smile.
He was even so worried he lost sleep over it, wondering where Izuku was, if he was okay… he must have stayed awake in bed, thinking and thinking about Izuku and how he could get him back. Katsuki was used to Izuku being by his side, and it was the first time Izuku had willingly left it. It provided him clarity about how important* Izuku was in his life, which only made him worry even more. (*see also: crucial, vital, imperative, watch me emotionally die slowly inside if you aren't around me anymore.)
Katsuki losing sleep, at a time Izuku was not sleeping was such a symbiotic soul mates power move Hori added in for flavour. I love it SOOO freaking much. There are no lengths this man won't go, to prove how in sync they are with each other, how much they need each other, the empathy they share with each other, even on a completely spiritual level where they share in each other's sufferings, *without even knowing it* such as right here, just like Katsuki wants to share all of Izuku's burdens so that he's not crushed by them.
But with that said, though Bones really dropped the ball on the opening (and 5 previous seasons...*ahem*), there were a lot of curious changes that happened in season 6 that I did love, like Izuku dropping the "tachi" in his sentence which turned his line into "He hurt the person I love…" (instead of people)
and as we saw more of these additional changes Bones made, it got us wondering, did Hori have some regrets with the manga that he was unhappy about and wanted their romance to be more obvious? Was it only natural to get anime viewers up to speed before season 7, because they were going to find out through manga spoilers that Katsuki and Izuku are actually in love? I'd like to think so.
Changes I remember off the top of my head:
Reaching out for little Izuku's hand during Katsuki Bakugou Rising
Katsuki waking up and thinking "Deku…" and remembering his Rising sacrifice and being still hurt from it.
Izuku waiting until he was in Katsuki's arms before he apologised, which made their words of "I'm sorry" and "I know" more intimate and personal to each other. Like Izuku needed Katsuki's forgiveness the most, and Katsuki needed to let Izuku feel that he understands him the most.
Izuku's little "Ka-..." (the English dub did not catch it but I know other dubs did) as he was passing out, which made the entire hug scene feel so much more romantic.
"I'm gonna say your name when I wake up" vs "I'm gonna say your name when I fall asleep." BkDk: Always on each other's minds. All the time.
And one of the most interesting changes of all…
So get this, Ochaco gets a hand hold grab in the opening which canon-wise holds about as much weight as an "illustration" … and in the actual anime content, she grabs his wrist area instead of his hand like in the manga. Making her hand hold IN THE CANON CONTENT so impersonal. Almost as if to make up for the horrible opening they made. Why this was done still remains a mystery to us today… but I hope it's because Horikoshi asked them to make Izuocha stop being seen like a couple, and more like the friends they are.
And then, about the "brothers" "friends" comments antis love to make about bkdk. Well yeah, they're coping. In fact, Hori has shied away from labeling them friends several times when he could have! "Midoriya-kun is our friend" says Iida - with multiple people from the class, including Ochaco, presented in the panel… and Katsuki is nowhere to be found.
Or like when sAFO called Katsuki "Izuku's closest person" (motto mo naka ga ii) where it would have been WAY more natural to call him "shinyu," aka, "best friend." But that's the thing, Hori runs away from calling them friends like it's the plague LMAO
Really makes you wonder… was sAFO (I'd rather just call it AFO at this point because it's his personality being dominant vs Katsuki) alluding to hidden romantic feelings Izuku hides for Katsuki that his secret gaydar quirk picked up? Could be. In a way, at the time it happened, it felt to me like Horikoshi himself was talking to us through him, telling us very explicitly, "You're damn right. They're gay."
Either way, skirting around this label for them is being done on purpose by Hori. Like his hidden way of saying "Yeah they might be acting a bit more like the best friends they were always meant to be as kids, but their feelings for each other are not 'friendly' AT ALL. Because platonic friendship is not where these two are headed." And there are STILL hidden feelings they haven't managed to say to each other yet! The content Horikoshi has been itching to draw for YEARS that he is finally getting to. All that soft bkdk romance we've been waiting for is coming SO SOON!!! and I am HERE for it anon! 🔥
2023 will forever be known as the year of BkDk canon... these are very exciting times. <3
#asks#bkdk canon#kana writes#bakudeku#I had to write this almost completely twice over bc tumblr editor decided to delete my whole post XD fun (and I was so frustrated I'm sorry#this ask was getting a bit long so I will stop here but all your ramblings about bkdk were true anon you got a good understanding of them!#togachaco anon I'll try to briefly answer you soon but look for my togachaco meta it's not that far down on my blog - though...#my feelings are still a bit conflicted now because#I am coming around to the jealousy/envy theory as well so it's anyone's guess however what I will say is that OCHACO HAS REALISED THINGS#and those things WILL be revealed#And it's most definitely not going to be she's got a crush on Izuku#but I will write about what I WANT to see happen soon as a lover of shoujo myself :D (it just might not be what will actually happen...)

Hi there. I noticed you seem to have a problem with my talking to Angel Dust? Even though no one really asked for your opinion? I just wanted to let you know that if you have something to say, you're welcome to say it to my face, 'kay love? Awesome, great, cool, glad we talked that out. Stay out of my business, thanks, byeee.
-You know.
"Well! No need to be so abrasive! Quite rude! I think you very well might be the one with the problem as you are at my doorstep....having a problem.
All I did was pose a question to Angel, not necessarily you, because I was curious. Because, my dear, if I wanted to talk directly to you, I would have done so- ohhhh but that might be difficult, as you've hidden yourself behind the veil, hm?
I'm the Radio Demon, my good fellow. I will catch the airwaves whether you want me to or not, so as far as staying out of your buisness? I'm afraid that's just not possible. Splendid talk though!"
#anon reply#ask reply#angie long legs#goodness me#seems I've touched the nerve! 📻😂#come into my house and telling me what to do is crazy xD

I remember that it's uncomfortable for you to write Belos/Camilla, and you prefer to write Beardo Phillip/Camilla, but there are no any real ship in this idea, so it should be fine. The whole idea is the misunderstanding.
So, Belos Redemption AU, Belos lives in Noseda's house with the HexSquad, he found out that his views are outdated, the children are more or less cool with such a company
Fic - Philip doesn't quite understand why Luz is acting so strangely. He just tried to help Camila in any way he could, because the poor woman was definitely not ready that so many guests would live in her house. He tried to be polite, asking different questions and being interested in different topics. But he doesn't quite understand what flirting is and why Luz thinks he did it with her mom.
Meanwhile, Luz believes that Belos wants to date her mom and she can't let that happen
The M/il/f-understanding
Philip was unable to comprehend why Luz was acting so aggressively towards him lately.
I mean, he had some idea as to why.
She was the only one in her friend group who was still suspicious about him.
Plus, there was the Day of Unity, the fight between him and her friends on Halloween, and so on.
But Philip took note of something.
He noticed Luz's aggression start to really rise whenever he was around her mother, which greatly confused him.
Since Camila had so many unexpected guests living with her now, he was trying to help her as best he could.
The two shared some intriguing conversations while cooking meals for the children and cleaning together.
Philip would always ask Camila questions about the modern world, and she was always happy to answer and explain them.
This caused Luz to accuse him of flirting with her mother one day, but he had no idea what that meant.
...
"YOU CAN'T DATE MY MOM!" Luz shouts, angrily rushing into the room that Philip was currently in by himself.
She grit her teeth. "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO!"
"Date?" Philip questioned, a slight frown on his face at her tone.
"Why would I want to do that?"
"Because," Luz began with a growl, lowering her brows at him. "You've been flirting with her all week!" She argued.
"Just the other day, I heard you telling her how good she looked in her apron in the kitchen. You were flirting with her!"
"I was simply expressing a polite compliment," Philip would respond calmly.
He was a gentleman, after all.
"Oh, yeah?" Luz said, not believing him in the slightest.
He was a big fat liar in her eyes.
"Then explain why you were sitting on the couch watching TV with her on Tuesday. You were trying to find the right moment to kiss her, weren't you?"
He was probably attempting to put the moves on Camila while a romantic movie was playing, Luz thought.
Philip sighed at the assumption. "Your mother was showing me a documentary on horses. She believed that it would be of great interest to me."
And it was.
Luz continued to glare him down.
She had one more question to ask that would expose his true intentions.
"What about the flowers you got her?" She asked in a demanding tone, directing her finger towards the glass vase that was displayed on the hutch.
Resting inside it was a bouquet of beautiful marigolds.
"Well?" Luz tapped her foot, awaiting an answer.
"She requested them," Philip told her, a roll of his eyes.
"She mentioned that those were the flowers she adored the most and would look stunning in the house, so she asked me to purchase them using her card."
"...Oh," Luz went, feeling slightly embarrassed that she was wrong.
Philip chuckled. "You really are quite noisy, aren't you, Luzura."
"That's not my name," Luz grumbled. "And whatever, just don't try anything romantic or flirty with my mom. Got it?"
"Understood. Though..." He had a playful look in his eyes, a slight smirk spreading on his chapped lips.
"I could see myself attempting to pursue her during the Deadwardian Era," he hummed.
His young, bearded self would have done everything in his power to make Camila his wife.
If Luz had a drink in her hand, she'd spit it out. "Wait, WHAT?!"
#(you're good anon!)#(i just prefer the ship between him and camila to be crack or platonic when he's older)#(i wouldn't mind writing it romantic if they were both elderly tho lol 💕)#(but yeah)#(pun title)#(i hope this is okay 👉 ❤️ 👈)#(THE ENDING XD)#the owl house#owl house#toh#emperor belos#belos#philip wittebane#old man belos#moldy crumpet husbando#belosfanstakeover#luz noceda#ask#asks#anon#anonymous#request#fanfic#fanfics#fanfiction#fanfictions#writing#my writing

how do you get your colors to look so nice and your lineart so red and vibrant? i love it
omg anon thank you!! 😭 im going 2 be honest I am Not Great with color theory... but i like having my sketch pages look cohesive to me...
BUCKLE UP this is going to need a readmore bc i like talking.
I always sketch in neon colors it's a habit i picked up from an old teacher but I'll think of a color usually on a whim and draw with that. and then if i want to draw something else ill pick another color that i think goes well with the page. usually most of my color schemes r analogous (colors right next to each other on the wheel)
yanked this from recent dunmesh post; i kept most of my colors within the pink/red/orange range.
i wouldn't recommend doing everything in monochrome or analogous palettes though because it's sort of a guilty crutch of mine XD.
sometimes when im coloring ill change the layer mode of the sketch. color burn gets you either very very bright or very very deep colors depending on the color of the flats underneath. multiply and linear burn do the same thing but they're a lot tamer and generally always return darker colors. im sure there's some technical bits behind this though. ill either color my lineart afterward to compliment the color of the flats, leave it as is, or mess with layer modes if i feel like it. my favorite trick is color burn + linear burn + some combination of two lineart layers and just fiddling until i get a nice burn effect.
mithrun was done with crimson red on color burn.
coloring... like 999% of this is relative color which is like. kind of the idea that colors look different when placed next to each other. if you eyeball it a bit it's pretty noticeable.
what i used to do a bit ago was i would fill in the area i wanted to color with one big mask of color, make a new layer that has a clipping mask down to the flat layer of color, and then draw my actual flat colors. the color of the mask helped me pick my flat colors bc if I picked a color i think stood out too much next to the mask i could kind of just adjust it until it looked a little more cohesive.
old ish drawing next 2 a canon reference. i ignore local color a lot...mea culpa....but my overall color palette here was a light pink, so the shirt here is actually a desaturated pink? or violet i believe. if you shift sort of that purple color far enough into the gray area of your color wheel it can take on a blueish or even greenish hue. it being next to a lot of warm pinks/fuschias helps.
a neat thing that kind of helps is that if you desaturate or saturate certain colors they can kind of take on a certain hue? not sure if this makes sense. sort of how orange here turns tealish blue the grayer it gets. so if im drawing something that's predominantly orange and i have a blue color i can just take an orange color and desaturate it until i get a color that sort of looks like blue. and that way it kind of looks more harmonious? at least to me XD
shading. i don't apply serious lighting to a lot of my drawings, but a helpful bit is that the shadows tend to be the opposite of whatever color the lighting is? i try to think first about the "mood" or the main color i want to go for in the drawing and then i pick a shadow color opposite of that. so for here, i wanted the lighting to be a coolish magenta so the shadows r lime green. if there's anything off i fiddle around until i get something i like. the shadows on the skin here were too green initially so i shifted them a little more orange.
there's a "band" of color going on between the transition of the shadows to the light. generally this could be for a lot of reasons and i tend to use it differently (core shadow? overexposure? etc etc). but this is a color post so ill try not to go too off track.
but generally digital doesn't "mix" colors the same way traditional colors do if you use RGB (cmyk is a bit better with this but is kind of a pain to get used to), so to make blending a little less muddy, i sometimes add an intermediate color to smooth things out a little. for example, mixing digitally blue n yellow tends to get you gray, but generally, blue + yellow makes green, so if im making a blue->yellow transition ill slap some green color in the middle so it flows a little better.
I do a lot more cel shading nowadays. if you've been on here for a while earlier this year i have another style of coloring but it's not really accurate to how shadows really work so i wouldn't recommend looking at it. it's mostly to add zest and texture to the underlying flat colors.
coloring your lineart does a TON to helping your colors look vibrant, though its like the garnish on a dish to me (same with shadows). i think it's good to try and play with your flat colors and try to make sure those look in order first before adding flourishes. usually ill leave it a dark, saturated color that again matches my overall palette but sometimes i go in and color them by alpha locking my lineart layer and picking a color that matches the flat colors underneath? not sure how to explain it properly.
i used a darkish purple for shuro's ponytail to match the dull red of the flat colors (more relative color! trying to simulate a black/brown while keeping the pink palette there) but a lighter crimson for laios's blond. the light was this super intense like blush pink so i thought it might be cool to add this neon salmon red in the areas of that light to really give off that vibe of a very bright intense rim light.
sometimes you could also tweak with gradient maps or color balance, which adjusts hue based on how light or dark a color is. these r fun to mess with as a final touch but i need to watch using them because they can become crutches real fast XD but those are also just tools to help you. in the end just developing a good sense of how color works and how you want to use it is the best place to start.
LONGASS ramble but yeah. tldr just kind of train ur eye for color and look at what you like best. which is unhelpful and a little sucky but it really is just observation and practice and maybe some personal zest.
happy drawing!
#SORRY THIS IS THE SIZE OF CANADA I YAP A LOT#i like being thorough when explaining myself a lot XD but i think the easiest way to get good with this is just repeat practice n observing#and figuring out how stuff behaves in certain situations and what you like to do and blahblahblah#if you have artists u like that do this well looking at how they use color might be cool#...i feel this entire post is just putting my entire thought process on blast LOLLL.#“eyeball it out” -> study some actual fundamental stuff and or intake new info or art -> apply it back to just eyeballing it out#i dont think i have a natural sense for some basics#but i dont think im naturally one of those people who grind out studies all the time and breakdowns either#i guess i just kind of like knowing the mechanations behind why to do a certain thing or how stuff works and then figuring out#how that translates into what i know nerd emoji#james gurney has a good book on color and light#if you like reading. but its very informative!#quirinahscreams#ask#anon#this is mostly just me talking about how i draw i dont think this is meant to be educational or informative XD um

thinking about book/S1 good omens as Sanders Sides now… okay let’s see if I can write this ask in less than 15 minutes.
Aziraphale—Virgil
Crowley—Janus
Adam—Roman
Pepper—Remus
Wendsleydale—Logan
Brian—Patton
unfortunately there are more than six main characters. I’m going to double cast them all because I think I’m funny and I don’t feel like including the shorts characters (though how funny (ironic) would it be if Blue Screen was Newt)
Anathema—Logan
Newt—Patton
Shadwell—Remus
Madame Tracy—Virgil
Agnes Nutter—Roman
those are the most relevant eleven, and there are still more! (Hastur, Ligur, Satan, Beelzebub, Gabriel, etc) (they’re all just played by Janus now I guess) and yes, there are a shit ton of characters in S2 as well. but those characters are not quite, but almost, entirely like placeholders. /ref. like, the shopkeepers have about three lines each. whereas Anathema, for example, is extremely plot-relevant.
honestly Thomas as Adam would be great actually. however I am five minutes past my original arbitrary time limit, so I will end on that thought.
-🐢
Why have OCs and Shorts/other series characters when you can make the Sides shapeshift and be every extra character? /light hearted (Also Y E S to Character!Thomas as Adam)

im not super into undertale aus or multiverse, but i do want to propose a fun angle for utmv, cause itd be a good angle for comedy, drama, angst, and hurt/comfort.
sans is a system and his alters are just au sanses. there is a rogue papyrus introject in there. sans is keeping it secret because it feels like he cant make jokes about it so its not worth it.
and ALSO, at the SAME TIME
papyrus has the same thing going on. hes also a system with alters inspired by fandom aus and one introject of his brother is in there. he keeps it secret cause he thinks its dorky and not cool.
(note: i am a system, and the concept is drawing from my own experience in how it can be funny and simultaneously frustrating! people who are not systems should do research into it before writing this angle, and remember above all that it does not make someone dangerous, and that pop culture is a terrible place to learn about it from.)
YEEEAHHH!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!!
It also brings up questions of what triggered this alters and how they interact together. SSDFGHJKL And interesting ideas about who do you think would front more often, who often co-hosts, etc.
I love the idea of sans being part of a system :D
#I'm not an expert or a system but I've done a teensy bit of research???#not enough to make an AU about this on my own anyway XD but if anyone makes an AU like this id LOVE to see it#omg sans slowly learning to cope with the other alters and coming to terms with the fact that the body is as much theirs as it is his--#good stuff#wraith asks#anon

Do you have Diomedes eventually being immortalized by Athena in your hcs like he is in some versions of his mythology?
Honestly, I don't really know? 😅 He kind of only "exists" in my writing until he meets once with Penelope at like, 13-14 years of Odysseus being gone. Sthenelus is, ofc, with him. :D And he tells some stories to Penelope and kind of hangs out with Telemachus before they're off again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After that, I don't think much or plan much for him 😅 "You played your narrative purpose, now you are free to do what you please, little dude."
Maybe I'll have it mentioned or something? but I don't know for sure :'D
#I'm sorry dear anon. I know I'm kind of “Not the norm” with Diomedes and while I find him interesting. he's also the most#“He's just some guy. A very good fighter guy but still just a guy.” to me😅😂#The only reason why I DO have thoughts on him is literally because I feel like I kind of HAVE to by the fandom :'D#It was kind of a “Oh shit. I'm supposed to have this guy be a big deal? Oh. uh...Odysseus and him are teenage exes who have beef.”#I'm fascinated by his “I'm Athena's windup toy soldier” aspect and his relationship with Sthenelus but honestly even then I find Sthenelus#more compelling than him to be honest lol#I don't even know why??? I mean Odysseus is my special little guy (Penelope moreso which is why Diomedes gets the privilege#to meet her. He will be grateful.👀) but for the male characters then it's Menelaus then Agamemnon then Patroclus then Dio#Lol in order to get me to like a character they gotta compliment and hype up Penelope xD#Menelaus? Calls her clever and “Godlike” to Telemachus. Good lad.#Agamemnon? Calls her a good woman and good and clever wife. Good lad.#Diomedes? ...Nothing. No praising Penelope. That's a crime in my book.👀 /joking#I wish I had more to say but that's all I got :'D#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus#ask#anon#my headcanons

Mmhm mmhm
Okur okur
Also yes I was thinking Reader is both Mihawk and Crocodiles Darling so she’s really in a pickle here
Taking into account that im a sfw writer as I have zero idea about sex what would be some ideas on physical/corporal punishment on Darling?
Also it’s the fact that I was like “wait but theres no camaras in One piece” when there is a whole ass newspaper with pictures on it being the core of most arcs 😂
And definetly, seeing as Darling is in the monetary and gain world, she more than anyone is aware the power of propaganda can have on both a business and a person equally
What works out well is that 💧provided a great answer for this unprompted. xD (and there are motion cameras too - remember the entirety of Marineford was broadcast via video feed ^_^ )
It sounds like you're referring to pet play of a sort or Master/slave play. She's gotta ask permission to do anything, regardless of what it is.
Certainly a power move, and would definitely make a good non-sexual physical punishment, so it works well for Alexa's quandary =D
