Sorry, are your pride commissions still open?

Heya!! :D All slots that I opened originally are taken, but a few people reached out to me who had missed the opportunity, and I’d be happy to draw a few more, although not in time for the end of June anymore! 

Since there was a lot of interest in general, which was great and unexpected, I might open proper slots again either at the end of July or in August, depending on my schedule. The only reason why I dared to open slots this week after much deliberating was because I’m technically on vacation from my day job xD

If you’re interested feel free to reach out to me via the instant messenger! I won’t be able to take too many requests anymore, but one or two should be okay :D (this is an offer only for those who didn’t get a chance the first time around yet!)

Thanks so much for asking!

Whats up with all the hybrid dragons in greek mythology? (Is it just like in D&D where the dragons are just horny on main for humaniods constantly?)

It actually isn’t like in D&D. While Greek Mythology does have instances of humans mating with animals (such as in the case of the Minotaur), most of the hybrid dragons seem to be cases of snakes and serpents being grafted onto other creatures as limbs or hair.

The most obvious case of this to most people would be Medusa, who is known for her serpent hair, but she’s not the only one. Typhon, a monster which battled Zeus, was said to have a beard of serpents, as well as serpents for legs and arms and fingers. Cerberus, in addition to having three canine heads, is also described as having live snakes in his hair and around his necks like manes. In addition to a snake for a tail.

Echidna is fairly tame, compared to her husband and son, in that she has the torso of a nymph and the tail of a serpent. Note, though, that some sources describe her serpent half as man-eating, so it might have a head.

Kampe, meanwhile, is described like this:

...the head and upper body of a beautiful woman, the lower body of a dragon, a massive scorpion's tail full of venom, snakes around her ankles, and 50 grisly heads of various creatures (wolves, snakes, bears, lions...) bubbling around her waist. Her fingernails were "curved like a crooktalon sickle", and she possessed black wings on her back.

Make of that whatever you will.

A lot of these creatures are the descendants of Ceto and Phorcys, two titans of the ocean both depicted and described as being fairly monstrous, so it seems as through a lot of the serpent pedigree is starting here.

But why so many composites? Greek Mythology has a lot of composites in general, so I think it might just be a case with that. Add in the snake as a common symbol, and you end up with a lot of serpent hybrids.

Ok TBH i do work on my novel with a tiny "make TT proud" flag in the back of my mind for many things besides just this theme SO

That’s very flattering of you to say, thank you!

[tyrantisterror]

I agree with all of what ur saying about the let go of attachments trope. I also value compassion and empathy and love so highly, the novel im currently working on has the necessity of compassion and mercy and love despite war and pain as a central theme

That sounds like something I’d like to read!

Im sorry, im sure you hate getting questions like this but im having trouble with the mobile versiok of your store. My brother's birthday is coming up, and my parents reacted poorly to him coming out. So i was wondering if your store has any bi flag gamer esque shirts or something?

First of all, it’s fucking rad that you’re being so awesome and supportive of your brother. 

Second, I’m glad to help you, no worries about questions like this. I’ve got the ‘yep, it’s natural’ d20 design in bi pride. 

Long-sleeve t-shirt, hoodie (design is on the back), pullover sweatshirt, and t-shirt.
