hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?
you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?
and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community
HI HEY HELLO currently relistening to paris da musical after a long break and im going through all the feels again but theyre like 17 times more potent lol. ANYWAY requesting a doodle if u pls :3
i have no idea who to choose from forgive me kjhgfghj cassandra my queen, the iconic helen, paris <3, menelaus my beloved. im torn :')
also. somewhat unrelated but can i request a somewhat minor character or two from the iliad (seperately)? ooh and curious to know which is ur fave song from the musical?
tysm in advance lol and take care :]
HELLO!!
yeah, no same actually i havent listened to it in a while but everytime i do im like damn i forgot how hard this hits-
objectively the best song is definetely business but i wayyy overplayed that, oh paris is also just,, <333
still love paris in this though, he is such a dumb himbo, especially in what could go wrong
if you want to request any other character, feel free to do so :)
EJ draws Achilles 😨🫵
I know that he’s traditionally pictured as blonde but I don’t care 💞
My argument is his name being Pyrrha (which means flame-coloured I believe) while he was on Skyros. I tried to make it look like it could pass as blond but I don’t think I quite achieved that oops.
He gets pointy ears and teeth because I like drawing nymphs/nereids/naiads with inhuman features 🩷
i have made my own sweeping, simplified statements about paris and his family before, for sure. but in all seriousness, his relationship with his family is complicated. they do hate him for bringing ruin to their doorstep. that is a very clear sentiment, and one that is talked about far more, even in jest, by the fandom than the fact that his family also loved him. they never gave helen back to menelaus and rarely showed any belief of wrongdoing within earshot of the achaeans because they loved him. and doesn't that make it all worse? it's their love for paris that dooms them all. because how could they stand idly by and hand him over to death when he has just returned to their family? he was spared out of love, and they died for him because of that same love.
My designs for some of the greek heroes !! (Paris is there too I guess)
please will someone save me. haha im just kidding. please can i be saved
i know i clown about not liking odysseus a lot (because it is true) but its really only half about the fact that he has the personality of a know it all asshole. its also because throughout his narrative, there is no personal growth and change. in the iliad, achilles has a good arc, he starts out as prideful and selfish, but in the end having been changed by grief, sets aside his own feelings to return the body of hector to his father. there is no equivalent in the odyssey, odysseus does not change in any meangingful way from the beginning to the end of the story. hes FLAT, STAGNANT and the english major that i am CANT STAND IT.
