  • About Us

    Hello! Our nom de plume is “Thanatia” (pronounced “Than-ah-tea-ah”, i.e. “Thanatica” without the “C”). We use the royal we and plural they pronouns.

    We really dislike being called “Than” so please don’t do that. We also prefer not to be called with gendered terms, including slang/meme ones like dude/girlie/guy/king/queen. Thank you!

    We make Hades Game, Hades II, Cult of the Lamb, Steven Universe, Homestuck, and Pathologic art.

    Our Pathologic sideblog is @thanathicca. Our Telegram page is also named thanaThicca.

    Enjoy your stay!

    Pathologic Projects

    #Pathostuck - A Homestuck x Pathologic crossover, only art and story notes, not a fic. The Bachelor, a disgraced jadeblood with ambitions to defeat Death for his fellow landdwellers, visits the Gorkhon Colony to find a famous tealblood who has lived a seadweller’s lifespan. And the rest? You’ll have to find out here! (SLOW UPDATES) - AO3 Link

    #ISMIE - A 22nd century Thanatica AU where Daniil Dankovsky led the AVA (Ad Vitam Aeternam) Project, the first successful mind-uploading technology ever. (CURRENTLY WRITTEN) - AO3 Link

    ⟡

    Homestuck Projects

    #Seapunkification - A character-driven, no game, Hemospectrum Shift (Bloodswap) AU where only the descendants are swapped fully, and the ancestors are swapped into the role of the canon ancestors. (For example, this AU has a pure swapped Karkat Ampora whose ancestor is Kankri Ampora swapped Dualscar-ways). Featuring: queerness and disability stuff and a lot of messy relationships, platonic or otherwise. (CURRENTLY WRITTEN) - AO3 Link

    #Knight of Bloody Hell - Karkat Vantas was raised in seclusion by the Signless’ followers into a symbol of rebellion, becoming a socially inept teenager with too many powers to juggle. Also she’s a trans girl. Surely feeling like the “wrong” gender and having candy-red blood is totally fine in this dandy Alternian society. (INDEFINITE HIATUS) - AO3 Link

    #Homestuck Secret Santa - an annual Homestuck fandom exchange for creative works.

    Steven Universe Projects

    #LHSS AU - (aka: “Little Homeworld Sinestro Society”) After the Gempire is reformed, Lapis runs an Al Sinestro fan club, which no one is interested in… until an estranged Peridot pays the lonely club a visit. (INDEFINITE HIATUS) - AO3 Link

    ⟡

    Other Fandom Projects

    #Chthonic Boons - Hades Game fan edit where the chthonic gods give Zagreus boons, inspired by our dream of modding the game.

    #Lana Lore - Dress to Impress (Roblox) ARG theories and ramblings.

    #Closet Cosplay - cosplays with articles from our own closet.

  • Y’all I want to throw massive kudos out to the Roger Williams Park Zoo for a choice they made today: rather than joining in on a GenAI trend all the zoos are doing right now, they chose to support and spotlight an artist on their staff!

    The big thing right now is these GenAI “figurine toys” of zookeepers or zoo management. And instead they shared a version drawn by one of their staff!

    Go give them some love, if you’re on FB. Too many zoos are really getting into GenAI and just whitewashing the climate change / copyright issues that come with it, so I want this zoo to get as much positive feedback as we can muster for making a better choice.

    A drawn image of a "toy" figurine of a zookeeper. The keeper is in work clothes holding a rake with a macaw on her shoulder. the other items that come with her are in separate bubbles and include a radio, a hat, a bucket, and a water bottle. the text screenshot alongside the image reads: Wanted to hop on this fun trend without using AI! Thanks to one of our very talented staff members for hand-drawing our Zookeeper starter pack! 💙 #starterpacknoai Check out her art on IG @hollymaedesigns 🎨ALT

  • I’d like to shout out the Museum of Life and Science, who did the same thing! They’re an AZA facility in Durham, NC

    In their caption they wrote:

    “Your favorite action figures' favorite action figures. We love a trend, but we love our visual designer Erynn even more. Shout out to her for helping us join the fun!”

  • A messy digital doodle of Aradia GMing a D&D style game for Terezi, Tavros, Vriska, and Eridan. She is seated behind the GM screen, narrating animatedly with large gesticulations. Terezi is eyeing the game map thoughtfully. Tavros is staring intently at the result of his latest dice roll. Vriska is laying her head and arms on the table in front of her, looking miffed. Eridan is visibly complaining about something.ALT

  • i genuinely think boats are such good places to set a story because it automatically gives you a set of really interesting circumstances -- boats are transitory, you are not meant to stay on them forever, there is an automatic assumption of ending up somewhere different from where you started...characters are forced into close proximity, stakes are higher, etc. boats also just look cool, so that's always a plus
