characters + mythological deities (pt 1/???). ft. oc’s from @morningstar1399 @artless-whimsy

Prince Phillip Anders as Glanis, a local Gaulish god associated with a healing spring at the town of Glanum (which is in the Alpilles mountains of Provence in southern France).

Princess Genevieve Anders as Persephone, the formidable, venerable, majestic queen of the underworld, who carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead. She is also associated with spring as well as the fertility of vegetation.

Princess Dafni Kokinos as Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the Moon, and chastity. 

Prince Elias Kokinos as Athena, an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, handicraft, and warfare.  Her functions as a goddess of intelligence include military strategy and generalship.

Prince Anastasiy Romanova as Hades, the Greek god of death and the king of the underworld.  Despite modern connotations of death as evil, Hades was actually more altruistically inclined in mythology. Hades was often portrayed as passive rather than evil; his role was often maintaining relative balance.

Princess Isabella Cotilla del Reyes as Santa Muerte, a female deity/folk saint in Mexican folk Catholicism. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees.

Princess Shannon Anders as Ceridwen, a Celtic shape-shifting goddess of poetic inspiration. She keeps a cauldron of wisdom.

Princess Lea Lynton as a Gan-da-yah,who protect and advise the fruits and grains in Iroquois mythology. Their special gift is the strawberry plant; in the spring they loosen the earth so that the plant can grow.

Chrissy Li as Iris, the Greek personification and goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. As a goddess, Iris is associated with communication, messages, the rainbow and new endeavors.

Prince Arseniy Romanova as Loki, the Norse trickster god. Loki is "pleasing and handsome" in appearance, malicious in character, "very capricious in behaviour", and as possessing "to a greater degree than others" learned cunning, and "tricks for every purpose".

Prince Alejandro Aguíla de Agustín as Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, agriculture, and fertility. He wandered the earth, showing people how to grow vines and process the grapes for wine.

Princess Mai Mei as Xi Wang Mu, the Chinese West Queen Mother/Queen Mother of the West. Xi Wang Mu is both creation and destruction, terrifying and benign all at the same time. She is a dark goddess, pure yin, associated with death and immortality as well as tigers and weaving.

alejandro + flings/lovers & what he left them. text that’s on the photos under the cutttttt. warning for slight nsfw

alejandro’s flings (pt 1/????)

𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐎 

He’d slipped so many of his rings into Eduardo’s hand that day, Alejandro had surely thought that Eduardo would leave some of them behind. But sometimes, through the years, when it was dark and he was alone, he imagined that Eduardo wore one of them-maybe the thinnest of them, the one with the small onyx gemstone-on a chain around his neck, and that he never took it off, even when he had to get all sweaty to do warm-up drills.

𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎

Alejandro had been sixteen, still so empty after the loss of his best friend and lover, and that dark-haired boy had stared at him openly during the dinners they were forced to sit through. And so one night, Alejandro stayed up watching videos of questionable quality to familiarize himself with the, ah, technique, and the next day he went to his knees and took the boy in his mouth. And when he had to go back home, Alejandro sent him off with a crown made of orange blossoms.

𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐒

The month he spent in Pólemos had been pure bliss, but it was inevitable that he would have to leave it all behind. Nevertheless, Alejandro still remembered the gifts they had exchanged that last morning, waking up in twisted sheets. He had taken one of the earrings he'd worn the night before-an earring in the shape of a cross, decorated with more jewels than he could count-and pressed it into Elias' hand. "Something to remember me by," he'd said.

𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐏

Never in a million years had he thought that Phillip would actually kiss him when Alejandro drunkenly told him that he would very much like to do so. That first week with him had been so perfect; Phillip was a phenomenal kisser, for one, and they soon found some...less-than-innocent uses for Alejandro's silk scarves. On the last day of their short vacation, Alejandro gently tied one of his favorites, the green one with pink flowers splashed all over it, around Phillip's wrist. "Text me later?" he said, with a wink, and Phillip had done just that. Among...other things.

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐘

The one night that he and the Glavnyan crown prince (now the Glavnyan king) were involved with each other, Alejandro had been too drunk to pay attention to anything except for how pretty Stasiy was, and how much he wanted to do unspeakable things with him. But later, he would end up lending the shirt that he wore that night to Genevieve in exchange for a braid crown, leading to much confusion between all involved parties.

𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐍

That last night they had together in Aciras, all that Alejandro wanted to do was to pretend that they could be together, that his life hadn't just been torn apart. And so Alejandro lay down on his back, pulling Anton on top of him, and Anton took him, then, as sweetly and as tenderly as he had the first time, and it wasn't until the next morning that Alejandro gave him the thin gold bangle. Mai told him, much later, that Anton had been wearing it when he died in prison. Alejandro didn't know how to feel about that.

characters + weather (part 1/???)

Mai is a beautiful fall day. The leaves are red and orange and pretty, everyone is charmed by the lovely weather....but there’s a certain bite in the air that reminds you that winter is on its way.

Isabella is a winter ice storm. She is howling wind and raining ice; Isabella is cruel and cold and dangerous, and she’s not afraid to show it.

Alejandro is a sunny spring morning. He gives off the facade that he has no cares in the world, but when it’s spring, you never know when it might rain. Also, the opportunity for stupid fertility jokes are too many to not make this mans spring.

Lea is a summer sunshower. She’s constantly optimistic, able to see the silver lining in every situation. Not even a bit of rain can get her down.
