*Mako looks down at the talking crow raising an eyebrow as if to say “birds can speak?!” He leaned over to Oliver and asked.*
“Am I going crazy or did that bird just speak proper English?”
H-huh...? o-oh...! you mean Morgel? i know he's originally a crow but he can also transform into a human! just give me some minutes to take a polaroid picture of him! (he's usually shy, he wouldn't admit that but he is so he doesn't like others to take photos of him, so, i'll surprise him! >:3)

2 days ago my brother/parents dog Topek had to be put down; last months my parents did all the best to help him, but nothing more could be done, he had cancer and he was suffering. They just found this out, in last months he was getting all the meds for his joints issues [bby even had hips replacement in past ;-;] but this was over
We were always saying that Topek and Postal are brothers, Topek was 2 years older and they were best buddies from beginning [my heart breaks that poor Postal wont understand why he isnt anywhere anymore]. They loved to play together, they were coming along so great <3
I still remember great day when we got him; me, my brother and my dad rode ~100km to get him, my brother picked him from all the pups cause he loved us since he saw us, he was such a lovely and happy doggo. We missed spot on highway when we were going back and we had way longer ride than we should haha My brother and dad were at front seats and I was with bby Topek at the back
I gave him last of my plushies so he can play with them and tear them apart, they were few last things I still had that holded memories of the past; if price for my life was getting rid of most of my stuff - I guess its fine tho lately I think about many things which I wish I would still have
btw, his name Topek was from band ZZ Top ;3 just lil fun fact
Its very sad but Im happy he doesnt suffer anymore, I fully believe that letting someone go is true act of love
btw, I made this art for my parents last year for their 28th wedding anniversary. I didnt posted it before but its something that was waiting and having picts of Topek and Postal being so happy, it holds so many beautiful emotions so I guess its perfect time to post it to share this lovely doggo and say this final goodbye
Here’s part two of this post because Tumblr said “too long, make another post about it, lolz”:
💬 0 🔁 0 ❤️ 0 · I have fused your two asks because they were very similar so… · Hey could we get more info on Élos? You like mentioned them
-But if it was for the greater good, so be it: when Gaea was transformed into our planet, Adonay along with Zeus started to put the plan into action: Zeus knew where they (Élos) were, it was the same dimension where he was raised and taken care of: the “chaotic illusion realm. When Zeus arrived, Élos was already waiting for him, with that same “kind”smile:
Zeus: hello… old friend… you know… it is kind of rude to simply disappear into thin air. *Zeus said with a stern “smile” as he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes*
Élos: my apologies… however… we both agree it is even rudely to deny my children their destiny, right~? *Élos eyes glowed a dark purple light before closing them and opening their chest eyes*
Zeus: but you literally have no children yet! How long you wanted for me to wait to choose one of your offspring??
*Élos started circling around Zeus while smiling sweetly at him, Élos caressed Zeus shoulder and cheek*
Élos: oh Zeusie~ don’t you remember what i’ve always taught you?: all excellent things come around eventually~ patience is a virtue after all~
*Zeus got on one of his knees and said:*
Zeus: Élos… i came here to admit my mistake and offer you a fraction of my power…
*Élos showed a surprised expression but quickly turned back to their usual enigmatic expression*
Élos: Oh Zeusie, Zeusie, Zeusie… what’s the catch~? You really do get on my nerves sometimes by underestimating my intelligence~
*Zeus grabbed Élos hands gently and looked straight into their eyes*
Zeus: Élos… i’m serious… hell i’ll even give 50% of my power if you agree with one small wish of mine.
Élos: and that would be?
Zeus: you stay in my brother’s realm for one thousand years and, after you finally create your children and let them grow up enough for marriage, i’ll chose one of them to be my bride or groom and you, old friend, will be the new ruler of the Olympus along with me of course… what do you say?
*Élos opened one golden eye, looking at Zeus up and down suspiciously… but then smiled satisfied with the sudden offer*
Élos: Hade’s?
Zeus: Hade’s.
and with that, Zeus took Élos into his brother’s realm… when in reality he was taking Élos to a new realm below the Tartarus that was inside of the planet earth, former Gaea, which was created by Adonay: The Corfullrus. When they’ve arrived there, Élos knew what was happening and that it was all a ruse… but they were already creating their magnum opus, their perfect little deception: his child behind the curtains when the Gods couldn’t find them (Élos) all it needed were two final ingredients that they could wait patiently, after all… patience is a virtue… Élos “willingly” entered the realm and was quickly trapped there… Shackles and chains appeared around their neck and wrists… holding them still…
When everyone thought that the problem was solved, they continued to live their lives and Adonay created humankind a few years later, he presented them to the other Gods and Goddesses who were a little disdainful of them but finally got fond of them after some time… until there was the first murder and the first betrayal of humanity: Cain, Abel, Adam and Eve. Some say that Lucifer was the one who tempted Eve to bite into the forbidden fruit and whispered into Cain’s ear thoughts of jealousy and murderous intent… while in truth, the true mastermind was Élos all along: they were the one who pulled the strings and instructed Lucifer to do all the things he did… and, before you may ask: how? It is simple, oh so very simple~
Lucifer felt like he wasn’t taken seriously by the other Gods, not even Adonay himself… he felt like he was destined for greatness… so he broke Adonay’s rule about not seeing Élos and went to visit them into the Corfullrus. And that’s how things went downhill: Élos was slowly gaining his (Lucifer) trust and slowly manipulating him against Adonay and the other Gods and carefully and meticulously giving him some orders disguised as favors: first take a single golden feather of an archangel and after Eve had her first son, he (Lucifer) should wait until his first tooth falls and take it and bring it to them (Élos). Everything was going according to plan until Adonay had expelled Lucifer from heaven… now things got trickier but Élos still knew things would work out in the end. After Adam and Eve got expelled from paradise and Lucifer from heaven, Lucifer gave Élos one last visit and asked them what should he do now. Élos instructed him that he should still take the first tooth of Eve’s firstborn and keep it with him until Élos could get out, Lucifer asked how they would do that and Élos told him they cursed Zeus with the sin of infidelity when they touched Zeus and with that, he would upset Hera many, many times and make the others Gods despise him and he would eventually feel guilty for this without knowing why he’s doing all this to begin with. Therefore seeking them (Élos) for help because they know he can’t keep himself away from them because after all: they raised him, making him dependent on them~ Lucifer was astonished with Élos’s ability of controlling the king of the gods! And so before he left, he asked Élos if they could make him also have this great power of manipulation, Élos was much more happy to comply: they asked for 6 feathers of Lucifer and explained that with those they would cast a spell on the 6 feathers and create the personification of the deadly sins, all Lucifer needed to do was take the enchanted feathers, choose a land where he would call it his new home and realm and “plant”the feathers into the chosen place and water them with his blood. (. . .)
Some more years have passed and Zeus has finally sought out Élos, in hopes they could help him:
Élos: hello Zeusie~ missed me~?
Zeus: . . .Élos… i’m so sorry to have lied to you so many times… could you perhaps explain what is happening to me…? If that’s not too much to ask?
Élos: of course my dear~ come closer child~
*Zeus opened the door to the Corfullrus and Élos greeted him with open arms, smiling ever so softly and sweetly. Zeus laid his head down on Élos lap and started sobbing while Élos caressed his long and frizzy hair gently…*
Élos: shh, shhh… it’s okay child, i’ll always be there for you~ now, why don’t you tell me exactly what is happening~?
Zeus: My brother Poseidon is starting to feel jealous of me and i don’t even know why! And every time i see a mortal or a nymph or any other being i suddenly feel the urge to… feel complete with them in that way you know…? Hera is Furious with me and always tries to punish those who had any sexual relations with me! And… and… the whole Olympus is hating me… even Adonay is disappointed in my way of behaving!
Élos: it’s simple my sweet child~ to have all your problems solved, you need to free me from here, then i can make all your troubles disappear into thin air~ i don’t even want your powers anymore, i just want to be happy with you and you to marry one of my own~
Zeus then freed Élos and promised that he would marry one of Élos children…
Élos afterwards instructed Zeus to go back to the Olympus and subsequently they casted another spell in all the Olympus except for Zeus of mind erasing: little shinions whispering into Gods and Goddesses ears for them to forget every single lie Élos has told and everything Zeus has done and they did the next day, none of them remembered a thing… Zeus was relieved to have that strange desire for others gone and the others finally looking at him with respect and love like they did before… but Adonay was furious, both with Zeus and Élos. So he sent his son Jesus to earth (through human birth) to spread the word about love, truth and the other virtues of God and warn about Élos and Lucifer. He knew no matter how many times he tried to “solve”the problem, it would always come back to haunt him, but Adonay knew that he had to put an end to this or Gaea’s sacrifice would be in vain and everyone would be in danger… Meanwhile Élos pays Lucifer a visit: Lucifer greeted Élos with open arms and thanked them for the spell and gave them a tour around his realm before giving them the tooth he got from Eve’s firstborn. Lucifer said ever since that day he managed to bring a lot of soul to his realm which he calls it “Hell”and became so much stronger than he was when he was a cherub. Élos was satisfyingly happy to hear the news and gladly took the final ingredient for their magnum opus~ on their (Élos and Lucifer) way back to the entrance of Hell, Zeus was standing there, FURIOUS with them (Élos):
Zeus: you fucking tricked me! YOU were the one who caused all those problems! It was YOU who caused my brother Poseidon to turn against me! And it was YOU who cursed me with the sin of infidelity!
*Élos simply chuckled and approached Zeus unconcerned*
Élos: Zeusie, Zeusie~… Poseidon was simply having a brotherly jealousy and Hera? Oh, we both know she’s way too insecure so she lash out on anyone who seems a threat to her husband~ besides… I was locked up in the Corfullrus at the time… how on earth could i have caused all of this discord~?
*Zeus immediately shut up and looked annoyed at the ground*
Élos: also, i am your mentor~ your guidance through the storms~ i only want your well being~ it was Adonay, wasn’t it~? Now that’s one God you should be worried about: he simply thinks he’s better than everyone else and wants extreme obedience from others yet he’s a hypocrite… he doesn’t know what he’s doing nor cares about it… you should take him out~ get RID of him~ i’ll certainly help you if you do~
*Élos subtly casted a spell on Zeus again, yet this time it was a different one: hypnosis… They grabbed his hands and pretended perfectly like they were worried about him*
Zeus: . . .You… are right… i’m sorry Élos for doubting you…
Élos: i know, i know~ we all make mistakes and it’s okay to make them~ but promise me for sure that you’ll never, EVER, break our promise again… alright dearie~?
Zeus: yes… Élos…
After that, Zeus along with Élos went to confront Adonay. He was already expecting them (Zeus and Élos) and he was ready to lock Élos into the Corfullrus forever. Zeus and Adonay started having a heated argument about how unfairly he was with the other Gods and even with his own creations and challenged him to a fight to prove once and for all who rightfully deserved to be the ruler of EVERYTHING. Adonay “agreed” while glaring at a very smug Élos behind Zeus. Both Adonay and Zeus transformed into their true forms and started fighting. After some hours of fighting each other, Adonay broke Élos’s spell with a vision of the future to Zeus, when he finally saw the truth, he furiously glared at Élos and they knew that everything was about to go downhill if they stayed any longer. They were about to disappear into the shadows until Zeus grabbed them and started shouting at them, Élos tried to not lose their cool and tried to reason with him and that despite everything, Zeus still owned them their part of the deal. Zeus said that he saw everything now and would never, ever, let them fool him again. Élos started chuckling angrily and immediately began to transform into their original form: freeing themselves out of Zeus’s hand and saying: “ON THE 666666° SUNSET AND THE 666666° RISE OF THE MOON, GREAT DARKNESS AND EVIL SHALL RISE AND ENGULF THE EARTH TO THE PROPHECY OF MAYHEM AND SUFFERING UPON ALL THE LIVING AND MY MASTERPIECE WILL RULE ABOVE ALL!”
After this, Élos disappear into the darkness while Zeus cursed their name and swore that he would hunt them down all galaxies, realms, cosmos, and earth until he finds them. Adonay wasn’t worried because now… he could see the future, sure: Élos prophecy WOULD happen… but he also knew that with help of him, his son and a great hero would save the world from Élos twisted plans…
Meanwhile in Élos realm, Élos was weeping and sobbing angrily, why they couldn’t do two simple things?! Why must they be so stupidly stubborn?!? WHY?!…
.
.
.
Élos decided to cover themselves with an invisible cloak and finally find a dignified place to finish their child: a small village where no one, not even Zeus, could find them…
.
.
.
After some years, everything was peaceful for Élos and their creation… Élos has built with the help of the locals a humble and lovely little house and now was picking up some boysenberries and raspberries to make a pie for them and their little family member~ Oliver was sleeping soundly on Élos’s back while being wrapped around their back and Élos was humming a soft melody from the local folk. Élos then noticed something, they could hear a rather unpleasant sound of… a crow… Élos followed the sound and would occasionally look behind their back to see if that loud unpleasant sound wasn’t waking up their child… apparently no… Oliver continued to sleep soundly behind their back… when they finally got where that sound was coming from, it was indeed a crow: trapped in a snare… Élos stared at the crow with no emotion for some minutes and asked the crow what happened:
crow: can’t you see that i was caught by a hunter? *the crow said annoyed*
Élos: yes, i can see pretty much. Seems like you’re quite in a snaring situation, huh~?
Crow: . . .was that supposed to be funny? *the crow seemed even more annoyed at Élos*
Élos: yes~ you don’t seem like the “comedic” type of guy.
Crow: would you be laughing if YOU were caught by someone who wants you dead?
Élos: definitely not the funny type~ *Élos said with a small smirk*
Crow: . . .God, you suck… could you at least help me instead of questioning my sense of humor in a bad timing situation?
Élos: and what do i get in return~?
Crow: . . .seriously? *sighs* urgh… fine… i can take care of your baby if you want…
Élos: hmm… why not join my family? We two need someone like you: not with the best sense of humor but with a good heart i presume~?
Crow: yeah, yeah… whatever just… take- *coughs blood* the hell…?
Élos: i sense we are going to be great friends~ also, you seem like you are dying~
Crow: WHAT?! No, no, no, no, NO! Did that hunter have put poison in this?! I haven’t- *coughs more blood* bloody hell! I am in my early years! I- *coughs more blood and begins to breathe heavily*
Élos: . . .hey… *Élos kneels down to the crow’s level and begins to take their knife that they have been picking berries with* don’t worry… i’ll put an end to your suffering…
*the crow upon seeing the knife, started making more of that unpleasant loud noise, Élos reassured him that they weren’t going to kill him but rather… replaced his heart with their own*
Crow: ARE YOU EVEN SPECIALIZE IN THIS?! THAT’S- *coughs loudly and more blood* NOT HOW THIS WORKS!! YOU ARE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF THAT WAY!
Élos: oh hush now~ i may look like a human but what you don’t know is that i can perfectly live without a full heart~
Crow: what. What… are you…?
Élos: …Élos, personification of chaos~ pleased to meet you… Morgel~
Crow: *the crow gets surprised by that* How- how you know my name??
Élos: *Élos chuckles softly and cuts the snare* we can talk about this later, your hunter “friend” is coming home and i don’t think you want to stay for dinner, do you~?
Morgel: …please… if you kill me i swear-
Élos: don’t be silly~ i know what i’m doing~
And with that, Élos has placed Morgel into their bag of berries and started strolling back to their little home.
.
.
.
Élos could sense that the Gods and Adonay would eventually find them… so they placed their soul into a handmade amulet that their child would carry with them…
.
.
.
After some time has passed, on a rainy day, they were telling stories to the locals while Oliver was with Morgel until Hera showed up when they left to go meditate in the middle of the forest: Hera was with her arms crossed and she was very angry with them. Élos greeted her like nothing has happened, she said they were very lucky that she was the one who has found them, Élos interrupted her by asking her if she was going to snitch their location to Zeus or Adonay… Hera then smirked and said she was there for one and only reason: to curse Élos. Élos raised an eyebrow mockingly and said that she was always the best when it came to cursing others because of jealousy. This made her even angrier and she said: “Let’s see if you are going to act funny when i am through with you~” she then envolve Élos with a dark mist and then she told them to go see their precious baby~ Élos was confused but did not because she asked them to do it but because they were nervous and suddenly afraid of what she has done to their child. Élos teleported through the shadows and mist and went to see if everything was okay with Oliver…
Élos: Ollie?! Dear, please, clap your hands if you are okay!
*nothing. Élos then looked behind them angrily and asked Hera what she had done to their baby, Hera’s smirk grew even larger and said nothing. Élos looked around the whole house until they have found Oliver: he was reading a book while laid down on the floor. Élos immediately went to hug their precious treasure when… they couldn’t. Élos passed through Oliver like they were a ghost… Élos finally understood what Hera has done: she cursed them with the phantom invisibility… Élos tried to stay composed and not lose their cool but… Élos looked at her with murderous eyes:
Élos: undo this, NOW.
Hera: and who you think you are against a Goddess darling? Hmm~?
Élos: i can curse you to become an incomprehensible beast that Zeus nor any other God would love you!
Hera: Ohohoho~ i am shaking~ but don’t worry baby, i am not completely ruthless~ you may touch him when he’s unconscious and he may see you when he is between consciousness and unconsciousness~
Élos: HERA! Undo your fucking curse right now!
Hera: perhaps i shall do it if you take back your sick plan of taking over earth and the cosmos AND give up your freedom to be where a freak like you belong: the Corfullrus~
Élos: NEVER!
Hera: too bad then~ bye darling~
Hera then disappeared through mist and Élos wanted to strangle her… Élos looked at Oliver with tears in their eyes and blew a kiss to their unaware baby… Élos decided to live inside the woods from that day on and started to think of ways to break the curse without agreeing to Hera’s deal…
Good afternoon my darlings~! Today i will post a little bit more about Oliver’s relationship with Élos as i promised on my last post!
So, basically, all that Oliver knows is that:
Élos created Oliver with the “essence of life”. And before y’all ask, it’s not your “usual” essence of life that you would see on other types of media, according by Élos, this “essence of life” was made with these ingredients: Fairy dust; “rainbow tears” (Oliver is still trying to decipher what exactly would be “rainbow tears”); a “heart” of a bloody moon (not our moon, but rather a moon from another planet); a single tooth of a first born; golden feather from a wing of an archangel; Lillies of the valley; forget-me-nots; shards of an hour glass and some grass.
Oliver knows that Élos erased his memories from his childhood where he saw Élos much more than he does now because Élos wrote him this when Oliver questioned them how did they raised him: Élos -“on the 5° spring i simply couldn’t let you have any memory of me nor my face anymore… i would then take care of you from afar and have Morgel take care of you occasionally…”-. (Morgel is Élos pet crow that sometimes visits Oliver and brings him anything he needs: money; clothes; wood for the fireplace and the list goes on. And oh, Morgel can also transform into a human.)
Élos can’t see Oliver or be seen by him anymore because of a “barrier”. (Although Oliver believes they simply just don’t want to take care of him themselves anymore and that the barrier is just an excuse. But Oliver still loves them, even if he knows it’s just a lie)
Morgel and Élos share the same heart (Élos rescued Morgel from a hunter, and, to not let him die, Élos ripped off their own heart and sliced into two to share and replaced Morgel’s old sick heart)
Élos soul is inside Oliver’s amulet.
Élos is completely and truly neutral about Oliver’s decisions and life choices, to them, Oliver should be able to be free to do anything, even if it’s questionable. Morgel on the other hand, always tries to convince Oliver to basically be themselves, minus his questionable actions and motivations, especially towards the clones.
Now if i were to describe Élos, they would have the personality of Granmamare from Ponyo; Chlomaki from Wadanohara and Timekeeper from cookie run.
As for Morgel, he would have a personality like Sebastian from black butler and the curious from creeped out.
Everytime that Oliver is sleeping, Élos visits him, caresses his face, kisses his cheeks and whispers good night into his ear. And when he wakes up, all he sees are what he believes to be Élos arms and hands, resting on the door frame of his room, until it slowly creeps out of his sight…
Since Oliver didn’t know how to exactly call Élos since they use they/them pronouns and are androgynous, Oliver created a word for it: “paimã”. Élos is Oliver’s “paimã” :)
(Which is a combination of “pai”=“father” and “mãe”=“mother”)
Morgel doesn’t trusts Phantasmo and he always keep warning Oliver about him:
Morgel: “Oliver… what do you even see in him? He’s a floating red flag!”
Oliver: “He’s the perfect candidate to protect me! :D”
Morgel: “*sighs* you have yet still a lot to learn boy…”
And he (Morgel) swore he would somehow make Phantasmo die again if he DARED to break Oliver’s heart.
Morgel is Oliver’s “step-father”, at least that’s how he (Oliver) considers him (Morgel).
And that’s all i am going to show you all for now~♪ byeee~!
