I hope this art will express all my love and admiration for your work. my feelings are not easy to express in words, so I decided to pour them into a drawing, and I am very proud of the result!
KMKY for me has become something more than something that you can read in a week and then switch to something else. I dare say that this is not just some ordinary fanfic, but the most real diamond in the zircon mine. KMKY is worthy of being called a full-fledged book, so that it can be published (yes, I still hope and dream of a physical copy of this fanfic, but who will stop me from dreaming?)
I can even say that I have come a long way with KMKY, from ups to downs. sometimes the fanfic helped me to distract myself from problems in my personal life, sometimes the fanfic raised topics that were really important to me, and I am amazed again and again by the skill, talent and ability of the author to write the main characters (and not only the main ones) so well, their ambiguity, their personal motives, problems, traumas. the characters turned out to be so unique and so deep (that I even had an idea to write an essay about all of Bill's psychological traumas, how they can affect not only your life, but also the lives of others, lol.) AND AT THE SAME TIME you write the secondary characters EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, which makes them all so memorable!
well, that's all I wanted to say, all that's left to add is that I'm looking forward to the next chapters and the upcoming spin-offs!
@f-imaginings, all the best 🫶🫶🫶
Reading about Argus Panoptes got me thinking about how he's used in PJO.
On the one hand, it's actually got some interesting implications for PJO Hera to send her strongest soldier to guard this camp, even though it's full of bastards.
On the other hand though, what a fucking bum! Panoptes my ass, how did he not notice Luke radicalizing the unclaimed campers, or trying to kill Percy, or the entrance to the Labyrinth, or that Quintus was a robot? But even if he's not as vigilant as he used to be, he's still super powerful, right? He's a giant, a son of Gaea herself! It took an Olympian to slay him! He could turn the tide of any battle... that he actually bothers to show up for. Where was Argus during the Battle of the Labyrinth, or the Battle of Manhattan, or the Roman Invasion?
Argus can join Prometheus in the "really cool and really underutilized" corner.
Many-eyed Argus, a faithful servant who could see in all directions. Despite this, Hermes would come to slay him.
While the common and more well known version is where Hermes puts his eyes to sleep, in some versions the god hurls stones at Argus until the giant fell dead. Regardless, Hermes decapitates him in the end.
Some art of @pink-noah Typhon honoring his wedding vows to his beloved wife Echidna, by going after one of her enemies. What? Of course it's given Typhon would love, honor, & cherish her. He adores his little snake wife! What better way to show his devotion by also swearing vengance on her enemies too.
The multipled eyed man being choked by Typhon is Argus Panoptes, Hera's 100 eyed gaint watchman (best known for gaurding Io when she was turned into a cow). Depending on the myth Echida has diffrent fates after Typhon is defeated for attempting to overthrow Zeus. In some she is also imprisioned underground in Tartarus like her husband. In others she lived alone in her caves attacking & eating paserbys until Argus killes her while she's alseep, like her grandmother Medusa.
Personally I like to headcanon Echidna assisted Typhon in his coup. She was also grief stricken by their childrens deaths by Heracles, she'd want revenge on Zeus by having him suffer the same pain & loss both she & Typhon went through. Zeus was hesitant to senance them both to Tartarus, incase they tried to plot an escape togther. Echidna swore if they take her husband from her too, she'd slaughter every living thing she encountered in rage & grief until she's killed. Then she'd reunite with her children & Typhon in Tartarus after death, but how do u think Typhon would react to being separated from Echidna for so long only to learn the love of his life & mother of his children is dead? Yeah Zeus had better make sure Typhon & Echidna aren't separated. Besides if they wind up terrorizing Kronos instead it can go towards their community service.
wait a second
WAAIIITT a second soooomethings off about old argus here. hmmmmm something i cant put my finger on. hmmmm

rough sketch of argus but like hades style
id love to go in depth about literally everything on his design + what im going to put but i dont know if anyone wants to read a yap fest
I WILL BE COLORING THIS AND REVAMPING IT/ DOING THE ACTUAL LINEART even though that's going to kill me
drawing in this style is like going to be absurdly hard because i already am bad at shadows but now apparently i have to use blackout shadows. and depth. and like physically everything i am bad at
