you have a spider + mushroom goddess oc? that’s so cool…
ah! ty!! (i've been feeling wonky all day so took me a bit to answer. but, since more people are showing interest, i might as well infodump a bit right?)
the whole pantheon i've been working on is my most recent passion project. to start each deity, i try to match a natural domain (ie plants, weather, seasons) to a societal domain (ie war, history, crafting) by figuring out which from each category symbolically match best
so, [placeholder] is the goddess of communication, spiders/webs, and fungi! i really liked the idea of matching the interconnected vibes of spiderwebs with the mycelium networks that mushrooms have for forests to communicate!
but then, because spiders and webs and fungi are considered scary/gross to wider society, and because deities like keeping their secrets, [placeholder] is one of the most frequently Othered of all the deities. the whole "ew gross get it away" thing ties in pretty well with the queercoding i'd say
she's also in a relationship with the goddess of stars and written history :]
also i say [placeholder] because a friend is currently making me a mini conlang to name all the deities! which im very very very excited about!!! (nadja i think you follow me on here so if you're reading this hi!)
aaand a @meraarts since you seemed interested as well, hope you dont mind the tag!!
