Greetings and welcome to the official Havoc of the Fallen blog!
~Blog run by @skykiuwu~
Here is where you can see the progress, art, and get updates on the development of the show!
Asks and suggestions are more than welcome, we’re glad to see feedback on our work and hope you’ll enjoy what we produce!

So, Havoc of the Fallen is a modern 2D animated retelling of the Trojan War as a whole and the Odyssey. We mainly follow the perspective of Diomedes, Achilles, and Odysseus, their importance will however shift throughout the shows runtime.
General content warning for the show
HOTF aims to be a slightly darker adaptation as it focuses on the war, death, trauma, mental health and abuse of the source material more intimately. Just a fair warning for anyone who may be sensitive to the following-
Graphic depictions of death and illness, suicide, sexual abuse and rape, child grooming, child abuse, sexual themes, violence, gore and blood
Each episode will begin with a trigger warning for what it contains of course, and certain episodes will have to be censored on YouTube(we’ll set up a website for that) but these are the basics. Viewer discretion is advised.
More information under the cut~
So who are we?
We go under Headless Chicken Studios and we’re a very small group of passionate people for the time being. Perhaps we’ll get a team in the future but as it stands it’s just Howl and Sky(personal blogs @thewingedgoat n @skykiuwu), as well as our friends who help out here and there but aren’t staples on the team just yet. You may refer to specifically just Sky and Howl as ‘Emotism’.
We’re really passionate about Greek mythology, 2D animated shows, and wish to share our vision of it with the world :]
Who does what?
Character design ~ Howl&Sky

Media management & promotional art ~ Sky(mostly)
Will the show be accurate to the mythos?
Short answer- Sort of? But actually no.
Long answer- While it will follow the main beats of the story, most major events happen when they happened in source, and so on, we don’t strive for 100% accuracy and ask to not be too heavily criticized on that aspect during production since it won’t do anything for the improvement of the show, which we would like the criticism to revolve around. We already know what major aspects we want to change for the benefit of the story we wish to tell, and how accurate we want it.
Discussions on our shows accuracy will most likely not be acknowledged outside of asking people to get into the source material. At the end of the day we just wish to make an enjoyable show for our target audience, which does not include those seeking a 100% accurate adaptation.
Where will you be able to watch the show?
Once the episodes are finished they’ll be up on YouTube via this account. Though some episodes will have to be censored and therefore we wish to make a website where you can watch all episodes in order completely uncensored.

Character quirk consistency is so very important to us, therefore we’ll be making a detailed list of quirks for major characters and less detailed ones for side characters.
Had to edit this drawing a bunch for Tumblr cuz it got really mad at me for it an took it down, added a bunch of slice of life stuff while I was really editing it
Diomedes seeing Deipyle in Athena, slowly forgetting how much she never wanted this life for him until the few moments where Athena shows any hint of disappointment, that’s when it all comes crashing down on him again, and that’s a realization he just can’t take so it’s right back to denial, or attempted denial at least
