Coda By Matias Bergara

Definitely a fashionista!! I'm sure Athena secretly (or maybe not so secretly) just likes to give people makeovers, and she was delighted to have the opportunity to put her hobby into practice 😂 Your translation is so clear and interesting as always! Oinment used by Aphrodite's herself must be a great honor! And the physical attributes are interesting as well! Her looking taller and the comparison to elephant's ivory!

The actress is definitely fitting choice for the role! I also like how she appears mature, as a woman who was waiting for her husband for decades, yet she's stunning indeed, definitely someone a number of suiters would be after hehehe awesome stuff girl✨

Athena and her makeovers! Or as my friend @artsofmetamoor said "a fashionista"

First she cleansed her face with a divine ointment, similar to the one the Kythereia (Aphrodite=lady of Kythera or the one born in Kythera) uses when she desires to join the dances with the Charites and he made her look taller and stouter/more majestic and he made her look whiter than the elephant's tusk ivory

(Translation by me)

Man Athena surely loves to give her two lovebirds makeovers doesn't she?! And yay for some partial Penelope description! She is probably tall for a woman (we do not know her actual height of course) and stoutly or regarly built and has ivory-white skin! And all of the above are toned up by Athena!

Makes me feel even more how amazing the casting of the phenomenal Greek actress Irene Papas was as Penelope in the Italian-German-French co-production of the Odyssey in 1968! (my favorite live action adaptation to this day!) I mean...look at this beauty!

The face, the eyes...even her age is great choice and yet she remains a beauty! And such commanding presence and intense look too! She was just perfect for this role!

HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE (2004) dir. hayao miyazaki

Art by Oliver Medak

Moonlight poured through the woven structures of the Marui, but inside it was the blue steady glow of a datapad that illuminated the two figures resting close together. Liora lay on her stomach over the huge mat, her legs swaying gently in the air, her bare feet brushing one another in an unconscious rhythm. Her toes curled now and then, in unison with the shy excitement of her voice as she scrolled through her research.

“…the clusters of glimmer coral were pulsing together, responding to the school of glider fin passing nearby.” she murmured, her voice barely louder than the hush of the sea outside, “They react to movement! I ran a test earlier and… Oh! The current shifted during the second dive, so I’ll have to try again tomorrow…”

Assara was on her side, her body curved protectively around the tiny human woman nestled next to her, a powerful arm draped over her waist, a quiet claim. Her ear flickered at the sound of Liora's voice and a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, sharp and fond. Her unscarred seeing eye opened lazily, watching how the datapad’s glow reflected against the human's sun-kissed skin.

“Still speaking so much after jumping over rocks and chasing fish all day, little light?” she teased, her voice a low husky tone. “You Sky People truly do hide endless energy in those tiny bodies.”

Liora blushed and peeked over her shoulder at the Na'vi woman with a shy smile.

“I just… didn’t want to forget anything before I recorded it.”

Assara hummed in amusement, a deep throaty sound that rumbled softly down Liora’s spine. Her tail shifted with languid movements, slithering forward like a curious creature. With playful tenderness, it coiled around Liora’s legs, sliding up toward her thighs in a slow, deliberate caress.

“If you’re not tired enough to sleep…” Assara leaned forward, her warm breath brushing against Liora’s skin, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Then perhaps I should help… tire you out a bit more.”

Liora gasped and gripped the sides of her datapad as if it might steady her. Her blush bloomed across her cheeks up to her ears.

“A-Assara…” she squeaked.

The Na’vi let out a chuckle, low and rich. She leaned in further, nuzzling into the curve of Liora’s neck, lips brushing gently over her pulse.

“I never tire of that sound.” she whispered with affection.

A ticklish giggle escaped Liora, soft, sweet, and utterly disarming in the way that never failed to melt Assara’s guarded heart. The Na’vi’s smirk faded into something gentler.

“This place… was empty before you.” Assara whispered, her voice unguarded, filled with rare vulnerability, “But your voice, your brightness... it filled everything, little light. Even me.”

Liora stilled, her breath caught as her eyes widened, shimmering with emotion. Then, she carefully set her datapad aside, her fingers trembling faintly. Slowly, she shifted onto her side against Assara’s chest, seeking the warmth and safety she knew only there. She said nothing. There was no need for words. Her gesture and her grateful smile spoke for her.

Assara drew her closer, her arms closing around Liora’s body like a shell embracing a precious pearl. Her tail remained wrapped around her mate protectively. Lowering her head, she pressed her brow gently against Liora’s, just above the edge of her breathing mask, and both of them closed their eyes.

The datapad’s glow faded. The sea sang outside the Marui, soft and eternal. And within, two souls from different worlds who had once wandered alone, now held each other close.

In each other’s arms, they were home.

Fantasia 1940

I still love this drawing beyond words 🥰 Proud mama Dilla and Ana with the baby, I can't handle the cuteness! I completely support this idea! Spider and Kai spending time with aunt Ana and uncle Ean’tu ❤️😍

Mother Eywa: so your going to give me grandkids with your Na'vi husband is that correct or is it something else?

Your oc: *blushes*

Hehe 🤭💜 Ean'tu would be blushing so hard, he would turn from blue to red for real :D he is very shy 💜

Ana would love to become a mother, really. Sad that they cannot have babies together. Not human x Na'vi . But there is an AU version of their story were they become auntie and uncle, for @yararts children from her OC dilla. 🥰 For her one Na'vi son and spider, who dilla adopts in that AU. This AU is so cute and like this they also have family 🥰

I already drew them once, cute right 🥰
