NINTENDO! I Need A Series Of This!!!!

[Sketchbook Spreads]: Doodle Friday – Lilith Edition

This week:

Took on the dark divine—my interpretation of Lilith, Queen of the Underworld and Mother of Demons.

Started with more human take—haunting eyes and regal energy.

Then, dialled up the demonic:

– Inspired by The Temptation of Adam and Eve (1512) by Michelangelo and Echidna—gave her a massive serpent tail coiled and commanding.

– Final form: gone full mythic monster—wings instead of hands, a nod to harpies and sirens, ready to snatch souls and rewrite nightmares.

@kyoukorpse inspired me to give my period pain to narinder. Like to charge, reblog to transfer.

So....

I saw a comment under an EPIC Reaction Video, which explained how the Greek Word for Nobody could be said Oudeís, and wanted to put my two cents in the pot....

So I wrote that, in the Latin Version of the Odyssey, Odysseus (or Ulysseus) introduced himself as "Nemo".....

...And then someone responded to my comment....

.....Long Story short.......

The Odyssey/ Epic the Musical = Finding Nemo

Praying for fellow Authors and Writers out there!

I will fall in love with you

Over and over again

I don’t care how, where, or when

No matter how long it’s been

You’re mine

Don’t tell me you’re not the same person

You’re always my husband

And I’ve been waiting, waiting

Waiting, waiting

Waiting, waiting

Waiting, oh!

For you...

This is literally Y/N and Loki from Time after Time. This is their theme song, playing in the background in the last chapter. It's them.

imagine you are a maid who works for ithaca's royalty. you're not, like, always the most up to date on gossip, because you have things to do and knowing what date the king and queen went on this week is not going to make the floors any less dirty. so, whatever. one thing even you know, though, is that the king is leaving for war. which sucks, probably, you've heard things about war, and also your cousin's part of the crew headed to troy and the queen looks like she's about to stab whoever tries to touch her so you really hope they stay safe and come back in one piece, for everyone else in the palace's sake at least. still, it doesn't change the fact that the floors need cleaning. so you get cleaning. and then you wake up one day with men in the palace. suitors, they call themselves. and you're like, okay, whatever, guests. except they never leave. they just. stay. day after day after week after month and then suddenly it's years, just hanging around. and, really, do none of them have jobs? goodness. and they have absolutely no respect for the workers of the palace, which is a bit frustrating because your back is hurting from how much extra cleaning you're doing for no discernable reason other than just because the suitors find some nonexistent dirt. still, whatever, it doesn't really matter to you, so you clean the floors and try your best to avoid running into any of them. you have things to do. the prince is cute, and he waddles around everywhere and gets his muddy little prints on everything but you feel nothing negative towards him because he's cute and tries to awkwardly make conversation. so you give him a smile and scrub the floors clean and go back to your room and fall asleep, exhausted. and years pass, and you age, and your hair starts graying and you wonder if maybe it's time to retire but the fearful and tired look in the younger girls' eyes makes you stay. you can't just - leave them. whatever. clean the floors. there's something to do with the queen and a shroud and lying, you're not entirely sure. your job is to clean floors and the queen is polite when you dart into her room occasionally, so. whatever. and then fifteen, eighteen, twenty years later - you're barely out of bed when one of the girls barrels into your room, screaming with excitement - the king is back. the king is back and he brings destruction in his wake. you hurry upstairs and you are greeted with a docked bow and a familiar face, now older and warier and more haggard, and you pause. he looks at you, and his eyes are - sharp, bright, focused, but also a bit unclear. like he's looking at one thing while also avoiding it. he blinks, once, and then looks away. a movement from the other side of the room - a suitor, you recognize, one who takes extra pleasure in watching the girls scrub the floor in front of him - and then there's an arrow lodged into his chest, followed by a scream of agony and then nothing. well. alright. you look around for a couple of moments, then turn back around and head to the kitchen, rooting around the storage cupboard for spare cloths. this whole return is well and good and there's probably political stuff happening here but, like, you don't really care. the king is cleaning house, and you should too. that's your job.

This is amazing!

Ares: Need a hand?

Telemachus: What’s going on here?

Ares: Is your plan to stand around? Or are you gonna tear them down?

Telemachus: I don’t know how

Ares: Then stop thinking. Feel the fire. Swing.

Telemachus: Woah, why am I burning up? Why do I feel so strong?

Ares: That’s the bloodlust kicking in.

Telemachus: This is insane!

Ares: No. This is war. Now go.

Ares: I've no respect for cowards, Those who prey upon the weak. I've bathed in war for centuries, And I know how the ruthless think. So paint this floor in crimson, Show them what you are One young wolf with sharpened fangs Against a herd of starving dogs!

[FanArt EPIC the Musical: "King Odysseus of Ithaca"]

Here is my take on the reigning King of Ithaca Ody! Finally!

I even did a small Sketch with Young Ody and my Athena Design!

Don' t worry! I'm still on finalizing those God Designs! But be prepared to see more EPIC FanArt!

AHHHH THIS FANART!!!! (≧◡≦) It’s so beautiful I could stare at it forever!! The design is just chef’s kiss—I’m obsessed with all the little details sprinkled in, like tiny love letters to the story (ﾉ´ヮ)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

The Fair Maiden/Reader looks absolutely adorable and stunning—you captured her energy so perfectly, I’m crying real tears over here (╥﹏╥)♡ She’s glowing with that soft strength and charm, I LOVE HER!!!

Honestly, this gave me such a boost of motivation!! It reminded me that… um… my own fanart for this fic is still sitting on my to-do list… (｡•́︿•̀｡) I’m sorry Fair Maiden I haven’t forgotten you!!

Thank you for sharing your amazing work—it brought me so much joy and totally reignited my love for this fic!! Time to get back to drawing soon… hopefully… (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Been reading this x reader fanfic of Epic: the musical and animal crossing called 'Epic: The Fair Maiden' in @kquil's side blog kqutie and I've been loving the premise so much so I've decided to make a new OC based off of the fanfic she has made. And I'm honestly I'm so glad to find another fix it fanfic caus elile as much as I love the musical, it has given me too much angsts like damnit my boy Polites died when he has just finished singing a happy song and my guy Eurylochus wasn't able to get back home to his wife! Like come on! The guy also been loyal for so long like his bro Ody! Get him back to his wifey!

And disclaimer no the what I drew here isn't how reader is said to look like in the fic but it's just my Interpretation since reader is based off of reader themselves.

I named my OC Theo cause the name means miracle and also cause even tho the reader is called fair maiden by everyone in the fic (can I just say that I love how the reader is being referred to by an actual title instead of like y/n or like an "insert name here" cause like I love this part so much cause it makes the story so much more immersive somehow in head, I don't know maybe I just love how the reader is referred to something else after reading so many fanfics that makes you need to insert a name when you read a part of the name) I don't know why but I thought it would be so funny that her real name would rhyme with Calypso since in the story she's basically like the anti-Calypso cause unlike Calypso who wants to keep Odysseus so that he'll be with her forever the second the fair maiden meets the whole crew she does everything she can to get all these grown ass man to finally have some peace while she helps them be tip top shape to get back home and is Odysseus' and by extension Eurylochus' supporter in getting these two loving husbands to get back to their beloved wives (⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠)

For the look I gave her I don't know why but I thought of strawberries when I made her and I thought it'll be so cute cause like she's so sweet in the fic and also she can't talk which added a unintentionally reference to Ariel and basically because she's a disney princess here, so with that I gave her bright red hair with strawberry flowers covering it and I also made her have these cone swirl hairstyles? (What do you call this hairstyles in anime) As abit of a reference to how Eurylochus says that no outfit (which I'm extending to hair here) will stop her from doing any labor work. And I gave her green eyes as like the green leaf on strawberries. And I sorta wanted her to be short and have a plump body type cause like she's being referred shorter then Eurylochus and also being referred to be like a chipmunk when she ran a grabbed every single gold from the money tree in the fic. And I thought the plump body shape would fit since I think if I remember correctly in ancient Greece a woman being more plump is considered beautiful and with how the story literally gave her the title fair maiden I think it fits well! And then I just gave her the dresses that's being described in the fic and done! Honestly the hardest fore to draw is the whale shark, seriously coloring that thing's spots are hard!

Oh and also Hermes’ design is from Zieru in youtube! Pls check out their stuff, they’re amazing!

That's all I'm gonna say, please if any of you all haven't read this fic and are interested here's a link for the master list of this fic

And that is why we hear the melody of "Just a Man". Because that's what Odysseus is. Not a monster or something else. He is just a man who wants to come home.

And Penelope is the one who helps him see that.

Still thinking about EPIC because I just love how EPIC handles Ody’s guilt.

Now, I don’t think I need to deep dive on how Odysseus’ guilt drives him in Act I. We’ve been obsessing over that for ages lmao, but very briefly: He feels awful for killing the infant Astyanax, and tries to force Polites’ “Open Arms” philosophy in order to ease that guilt.

Then, in “Monster,” Odysseus grapples with how his guilt leads him to make mistakes, asking: “What if I’m the one who killed you / every time I caved to guilt?”

And the implication is that gives up his guilt, deciding he needed to be a monster who “threw that guilt away.” And yet.

He never does.

He never stops feeling guilty—not about what he does in Act I, and not about what he does in Act II. We see it in how he agonizes over Zeus’ impossible choice in “Thunder Bringer”; in “Love in Paradise” when he’s haunted by the ghosts of his loved ones. And it’s not like he’s unaware of what he’s doing—Odysseus knows he’s been trying to suppress his feelings, most of all guilt and remorse.

In “Six Hundred Strike,” Poseidon rhetorically asks “How will you sleep at night?” He wants to know how Odysseus is going to live with his guilt, if he even still feels guilt. Odysseus answers his rhetorical question literally, “Next to my wife.”

Which, not only is that just a raw line, but it also does give a rhetorical answer. Odysseus knows that he isn’t going to be okay, that the guilt will way him up inside for the rest of his days, but he also knows he can count on Penelope. That she will help him shoulder his burden.

And he’s prove right in “Would You Fall in Love with Me Again.”

Because, finally. After twenty years, Odysseus is home, safe and sound—and all at once the guilt hits him. The pain and regret over every decision he had to make comes crashing down the moment he no longer had to suppress it.

And he hates it; he hates himself for making those choices, even when there was no other way to get home.

So he tries to dehumanize himself once more—to convince Penelope and himself that he’s become some kind of remorseless monster. Because that’s how he coped with it last time. That’s how he survived “Monster.”

And Penelope sees right through his bullshit. She cuts through his guilt and self-loathing to tell him, in no uncertain terms, that he is still human; that he is loved. And in doing so, tells him that it’s okay to grieve, to feel that guilt and let it go. He’s suffered enough.
