Hsjshjssjsbs I'm in love with this it's so bright ohmygods- it looks like a neon sign vomited a person and that's like my favorite thing ever- also I love how they carry around a fish bowl 😭😭😭 they're so damn cute-

I think that Byte is a really good name for them honestly

Another oc design, feel free to suggest names! I was thinking Byte but it felt basic

I feel like they belong on a poster or keychain, maybe a lofi YouTube video. Idk

Thalia: Hey Artemis, you okay? Artemis: Yeah, I just have this massive headache that comes and goes. Apollo: Hey sis! Artemis: Ah, there it is.

Out of curiosity, what is the silliest most impossible biology you've seen or heard on a mythological creature? Like, "what am I even reading" tier.

I get that all the time!

We kind of take it for granted, but the Chimera is the original "this doesn't make sense" creature. Even the ancient Greeks figured that it had to have been inspired by some real-life event, like a volcano with lions, goats, and snakes on it.

The goat was the biggest issue. Nobody quite knew how it was supposed to be involved. My favorite interpretations are the ones where a whole half goat rises like a tumor out of the chimera's back, which I tried to replicate.

And since we're on the subject of Greek monsters that are confusing, what about Scylla? Homer gives her 6 heads and 12 legs and sticks her in a cave where she yaps like a puppy. Greek artists apparently couldn't figure out how to draw that so she evolved from a multi-headed dragon-thing into a mermaid with dogs coming out of her middle. As they do.

How do they go for walkies?

And then of course there's Typhon with his frankly ridiculous number of heads and arms, and then Nonnus decides to one-up that with his description of Campe in the Dionysiaca.

Moving on from Greek silliness though, you've got to appreciate the sheer what-the-heckery of the creature described by Iambulus and which, for lack of a better name, is called a geluchart.

It may be a turtle. Or a pufferfish.

And there's a bunch of weirdos in the Shan Hai Jing. Heard of multi-headed creatures? How about one head and many bodies?

The heluo-fish is weird.

And on the subject of multiples, what about Kuyutha? How does something have 40,000 eyes, 40,000 noses, 40,000 ears, 40,000 mouths, 40,000 tongues, and 40,000 legs?

I gave it a shot.

The creatures described by the Inuit mystic Anarqâq are also bizarre - if it wasn't for his drawings of them, I'd have no idea how to depict them myself. Igtuk, for example? He has arms and legs on on his back, one big eye level with his arms, ears on the same level, nose inside a cavernous mouth, and a tuft of thick hair on the chin.

Friendly!

I should probably also mention the chemosit. Because, you know. Nine buttocks.

What about life cycles? Basilisks and basilisk-adjacent creatures go through some absurd life cycles. The basilisk's is actually the simplest one - just have an egg laid by a rooster and incubated by a toad. Easy! But if you want a skoffin, you'll need a male fox to reproduce with a female cat, have the kittens born with their eyes open, and then have them sink into the ground to mature for 3 years before emerging as deadly monsters. And for a gallo de la muerte - a ROOSTER OF DEATH - you need a kite to lay a red egg in a gorse bush, the resulting black and white bird to live for fifty years, and then for a green worm to emerge from its decaying corpse and become said rooster of death.

But personally I think the prize for the most Outrageous and Downright Most Bizarre Creature I've seen yet goes to the Butatsch Cun Ilgs. That's right, the Swiss lake monster that's a giant cow stomach covered in thousands of eyes that can make fire erupt.

Defender of the peasantry!

That's all I've got off the top of my head. There's definitely more but that would have to wait for another time...

mr sandman

The Entirety of Tumblr from Tumblr has been Chucked in to the ocean! You're all wet now.

Baby Owlthena is Smol

Late birthday gift for @irunaki! (I didn't know it was your birthday until last night, that's when I started this lmao) It didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to, but I hope you still like it!

(I spent an hour redrawing the frames in ibisPaint X before I realized it looked like garbage and gave up qwq)

I'm also putting the drawing of your sona as a cat and potato Owlthena here since idk if the ask I sent like a month ago didn't go through or got buried or something (I just have no idea if you saw it since I didn't get notified about it being answered)

haven't drawn my apollo in a while and that had to be corrected 💛

the random🪻is so fucking funny to me man (full version under cut)

it's not explicit at all but, just to be sure, putting this under the cut.

I just wanna say that Caligula handing Commodus his cat and Commodus just sobbing on the ground is a very silly mental image that I will be drawing shortly

Also I forgot I gave Caligula a cat too

I give a lot of people cats apparently

I shall also draw their cats vibing together

[laying on the ground crying]

my soooooonn...

@the-great-emperor-commodus

”Yeah I know. He ran away.”

*He’s just petting Helio the cat.*

i need them injected into my bloodstream

coloured it

if it makes u feel better I picked you :D

"Alright. Who's your favorite sibling of mine?"

"Winner gets a free drawing of me and them made by the voice who narrates everything I do!"

Aka me, the mod :D

[ @apollo-god-of--like--everything @banished-tele @future-king-of-ithaca ]

I'm not sobbing you are

Small Hyapollo animatic

Wind bag dice bag!!

Tah dah! I made it for my friend and I'm really proud of it!

Pattern and (hopefully) helpful images below the cut! It doesn't have to be used as a dice bag, it's just the right size to hold a standard set of 7 DnD dice!

If you make your own bag with this pattern, @ me! (Not because I care about credit, I just wanna see it lol)

1. 6sc in mr (6)

2. 6 inc (12)

3. (sc, inc) x6 (18)

4. (2sc, inc) x6 (24)

5. (3sc, inc) x6 (30)

6-17. 30 sc

18. Sc, ch2, skip a st, (2sc, ch2, skip a st) x5, sc (20 sc, 20 ch)

19. 30 sc (put a single sc in each gap)

20. (sc, hdc, [3dc], hdc, sc) x6 (this makes the top have a wavy edge! If you don’t want your bag having it, simply repeat rnd 19)

Fasten off (i recommend using this method!) and thread your drawstring of choice through the 10 small gaps made by rnd 18!

The wispy designs I just slip stitched on!

Pictures of rounds 18, 19, and 20

No it's okay you don't have to apologize!! It's fine I get it, Damien hates physical touch sometimes too, I'm just a very touchy person on accident and that's something I definitely need to work on-

Your boyfriend scares me-

[ @literally-tinker-bell ]

Intro thing!

I had one of these before and considered fixing it but thought it'd be better if I just made a new shorter one lol.

My name's Jaxie! I like drawing stuff and listening to music and crocheting! I've also been roleplaying for almost 10 years now.

More under the cut because..reasons lol

I'm currently obsessed with PJO (and the rest of the series) and EPIC the Musical! And just Greek Mythology in general. I also love Gravity Falls, Warrior Cats, Pokemon.. a lot of other things!

I have major ADHD and probably slight autism (have not been officially diagnosed but my mom and everyone else I know IRL thinks so lol). Sometimes I get excited about things and get super annoying, sorry about that lmao-

My bestest friends ever: @a-night-wizard, @vividthwoelhoarder

Profile icon made with this picrew!

that's so mean! his haikus are great, anon

oh great apollo

your haikus are terrible and the cat inside you is wet

I feel like I just got called a slur.

Dude same 😭 That's literally why I was so hyped when I found the massive pack of them bc I had lost all of the ones that came with the massive pack of yarn I got for Christmas

If you have safety pins those work too that's what I used until I found the massive pack of them. They're slightly annoying but still help a lot. I can't live without something to mark my place because counting is the devil

Anyway I'll leave you alone now sorry <3

Last night I had a dream that Aeolus dumped my bag of open metal stitch markers over my head and a bunch of winions started stabbing me to death with them,,, should I,, should I be concerned???

(Yes I leave my stitch markers open when I put them back in my bag idk why)

i am at a severe stitch marker drought because i only had a few that ive lost….so maybe it was omen of smth

I went to like uh Walmart I think and found a pack of like 170 or something. I probably only have 60 left. They're most likely all over my school, lost in the carpet of my bedroom, etc- I'm a major butterfingers so I just drop them by accident and they're never seen again (unless I'm in a room with like a hardwood/tile floor)

Hermes if he was cool

(because ppl rqd the messenger god in a maid dress 🪽)

stop normalizing the grind and start normalizing whatever this is

Aphrodite’s man

The first thing that came into my head was

Apollo: ARTYYY I KILLED MY BOYFRIEND WITH A FRISBEEE *sobbing like a baby*

Artemis: oh boy.

I imagine Artemis is just hunting or smth and Apollo drops in and he’s like you will not BELIEVE what just happened and then artemis becomes his therapist for a bit
