well they don't wanna but they have to anyway <3 so go wild
INTRODUCTION:
Neoptolemus and Orestes are in the middle of fucking killing each other when a divine being stops them. Everyone's confused, they are confused, Apollo's confused. They both get protection from lethal injuries, but they keep getting "chance" meetings when they leave the other's vicinity...
/// MOD TALKING ///
This is my first time doing smth like this!! I'm open to anything except explicit asks. I'll usually doodle the asks, unless its something plot heavy then you're getting a full blown comic hahahaha- I'm also reblogging neorestes posts I come across on the internet, why not, I mean there's not that many of us anyway...
WARNINGS: although this au diverges from the point of Neoptolemus and Orestes' fight, I'm keeping this as accurate as possible.. meaning there are mentions of slavery, incest, murders, all that greek mythology stuff

Don't talk about that - They touch questions out of their comfort zones. (Contains talk about their fathers, Clytemnestra, Andromache, and Hermione)

Hello!!! I am someone who really loves your art. I have three questions (sorry if that is too much): 1. By any chance, which country are you from? 2. Do you have any plans to use Twitter? 3. When did you start getting into Greek mythology? Thank you always for repaying me with such wonderful drawings and videos!!!!
Ohh wowow hihii!! Im from the Philippines!!
Idk if I'll ever use Twitter, it kinda scares me hahaha--- and I'm already struggling crossposting things on yt tiktok and tumblr so probably no! But I do use a secret account to search my name and see people post about me hehehehhehehehhehehehe
I think I startes getting into greek mythology last year around january!! My friend was super into epic the musical and I only got into it after the final arc!! Ofc the first thing I did was go on ao3 and read fics. Somewhere along the line I saw imeda's senses fic and being super into neoptolemus i first read his lore and Philoctetes AND THEN I READ THE ODYSSEY AND THEN THE ORESTEIA AND ORESTES IS MY BABY!!!
Ok so actually idk if this counts but last last year I also got into percy jackson! I'm always into the human characters best though haha
BELOVED HI!!!! hope ur doing well mwah <3 slightly off topic lol im sorry but i was wondering if u still have the agafemnon animatic from last year skdnsjsk since both ur main and the forcefem blogs have been taken so untimely-ly 😔 i couldnt find it on any of my blogs either im so confused :') so i thought id ask directly :3 thank xx
Super basic au idea: after Orestes killed Neoptolemus, he sees his ghost. I think Clytemnestra's ghost haunted him in some stories, though idk if it's actually her ghost or his hallucinations BUT IN THIS AU ITS ACTUALLY HER GHOST AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS A HALLUCINATION UNTIL NEO SHOWED UP!!
in this au orestes can see the ghosts of those he killed! Im actually wondering if i should just make EVERYONE have that ability in this au. Neoptolemus would suffer seeing everyone he killed huhuhu,,,
only the most vengeful ghosts would take time out of their afterlife to haunt someone tho, so when orestes killed him neoptolemus never haunted him since he dgaf. But one day neoptolemus was just skipping around and orestes sees him and PANICS.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!?! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD"
"Oh you can see me."
Since neoptolemus is kinda lonely, not able to interact with anyone or anything, he ends up following orestes around and also because he thinks its funny
Que a doomed love story where rhey get to know each other and grow feelings, but they find that they can't pursue a relationship because they were too LATE. Orestes gets a lot of guilt for killing Neoptolemus and listen i get the forbidden ghost x human but neoptolemus coaches orestes to get with hermione in this one (orestes had considered joining neoptolemus in the dead but when neo found out they had a whole talk(
Its a bittersweet ending but neoptolemus is happy being ablr to spend time with his dead father and and his dead father's boyfriend and his dead brother and AH DEIDAMIA at some point in the story, Neoptolemus tells orestes to help send deidamia a message and dei sees her lil baby's ghost(idk how, the same stuff achilles pulled when he appeared in polyxena'a sacrifice prolly) and they hug and spend time together yayyy
i remembered i made a old fight animation i made i never finished where i was gonna make Orestes kill Neoptolemus but ngl i got bored and never finished it
this is why i prefer modeling 😭 sure is hard without zbrush anymore tho at least the rigs work
Merry Christmas (In like 3 days. For me at least.)
Bajshkfdj, this is lowk an old sketch I drew on top of, but I hate how neopronouns look, his head shape and hair is making me angry. Forests arms are so funny to me I made his hands too small.
ALSO YES I WENT BACK TO MY OLD ROOTS NEORESTES, the first thing I've genuinely posted on Tumblr was all of my very cringe Neorestes stuff.
Here's your tag, as always. Icon. @rilyo ‼️‼️(・∀・)
