We've got a little variety here today, I reposted @felthamar along side his 'twin' @solexstras. And on the bottom are their half brother Tyrennos Spectrespell and the father of all three, Orphaneus Sunhollow.

Not Orpheus

Orpheus turned. He turned. I can’t explain to what extent that pains me.

Orpheus was good.

He was the son of a muse, an artist by birthright.

He was sensible with his words,

expressive with his songs

and he loved with all he had.

All he was, every piece and fibre of his being

was Eurydice"s.

Orpheus was bad.

His ego was too big,

he knew he was good but he thought he could best death

he made it far but not far enough.

He failed so close to the end,

with the sun kissing his face

and Eurydice died a second time because of him.

Orpheus was not good.

Orpheus was not evil.

He wasn't the son of a muse,

he was a son.

He wasn't a saviour,

he was a man in love.

He was not a hero, he was not a villain.

He was real.

All i have in me,

the good,

the bad,

the evil and the kind.

It doesn’t matter which side prevails

if one wins from time to time,

and the other one looses every once in a while.

Why does it matter what I do to love right?

In the end I will turn.

I am real,

I am flawed

I mess up and I make up,

and I mess up again

and sometimes

there’s no going back.

I follow my mistakes out of the cave

and even they turn,

then I’m gone, back in hell

with the face of Orpheus in my head.

He failed her.

I failed them.

I’m not Orpheus

but the guilt will rip me to shreds.

My 2nd artfight attack of 2022! This is Orph and Gooftopus from the epic @linkandorf ! A seraph design I love a ton and a silly guy born from an inside joke between us!

When: 18th September 2022 Where: Howl at the Moon Who: @dontlookorph​

Lee’s job at Howl was definitely the favourite of the three, but it was also the one he did the least and that paid the least, figures. Normally his spot was on the door, his boss making use of the pretty face to entice people in, the burlier scarier guards posted inside. Tonight was no different, and Lee was leaning against the wall out front, the busy line now all inside, when a familiar face walked by. It only took him a moment to clock it. “Hey, it’s you!”

Truth serum!

Orph—how’d you meet your man? What drew you to him?

Aqua—Favorite doll and favorite ghost investigation!

"Orph—how’d you meet your man? What drew you to him?"

A question about my beloved Sol ☀️💚

I wish I had a more romantic tale to tell, the first time I laid eyes on him was when I first performed for the Pythian Royal Court. My old dance troupe was hired to entertain the king and his court, and during the performance the sun glinted off the Crown Prince's iridescent scales, catching my eye.

But our first conversation was far from idyllic.

Some weeks after this initial sighting, he requested a private meeting with me, though "requested" may be too light of a word. I met with him and his personal guard in his quarters, I can't say it wasn't intimidating.

He had put together that I was working for his father as an informant, but he wasn't angry, he gave me the benefit of the doubt. And in truth I was ignorant of his father's tryanny, which Sol laid out quite plainly, before giving me the opportunity to work with him instead, to feed the king false information.

I accepted, and this lead quite naturally into the second part of your question, — what drew me to him. We met many times while working against the king, and I saw his kindness, the strength of his convictions and his morals, his determination to be different to his father.

I had a front row seat to the strength of his character, and the full force of his determination to do right by his people. I don't feel there was a single aspect that drew me too him, it was a mix of these qualities that had me falling in love with him while we worked together.

Thank you for asking, I love few things more than discussing my beloved. However, I would have preferred to spin a more romantic fable than the truth that these feelings bloomed as we planned a coupe.

"Aqua—Favorite doll and favorite ghost investigation!"

Hello!

My favourite doll is Mildred! She's been with me the longest! She was given to me by a relative as a child, and I was fascinated by her. She's been a friend to me for most of my life. For as long as I've had her I've felt watched over, and comforted. She just wants somewhere nice to hang out with her friends, she's been really welcoming of new additions to the family as well!

Millie's not the most active physically, but she has an undeniable presence! Even people who aren't very sensitive to spirits get the feeling that someone's there with them around her. Her big brown eyes really make it look like she can see you, as well! Some people find her unsettling because of this, but she's a sweetheart 💗

I don't know if it would count as an investigation, as I already knew about the spirit in question, but favourite ghost experience is actually one that wasn't associated with Wraith Watch.

As you may know, my boyfriend is afraid of ghosts. I don't blame him, it's unknown, and it's something that can have scary connotations. Also, because of his job, he's only available at night, which can add to the frightening atmosphere! So he's only accompanied me a handful of times.

But one night he agreed to accompany me to observe a phenomenon I find fascinating! Sometimes a spirit will stay somewhere not because it's associated with their death, but simply because it's somewhere they loved in life. I tend to leave these spirits alone, they're doing no harm and I trust them to move on when they feel ready.

There's such a spirit who hangs out only a short drive from our city. The location is a beautiful outlook in the desert, especially at night, when the scorching sun is replaced by a blanket of stars.

I was honest with Leo, so he was tense to start with, holding tight to my hand, but the beautiful location helped him calm down, and we sat on the hood of his car. It took barely half an hour for the apparition to show up. They knew were there, but didn't acknowledge us, nor did we do anything to disturb them.

The three of us hung out in silence, enjoying the beautiful scenery and watching the stars, until it got into the early hours of the morning, and Leo became tired. It was the first time he's wanted to leave somewhere haunted because he was tired, rather than scared!

It was really special to share one of my interests with him, and see him so comfortable with it! It's also one of my favourite supernatural phenomenons to observe. I struggle to think of something more beautiful than the fact that you can love something so much that your love will outlast death itself. Thanks for asking!

thought I'd include these nice picrews of them, orph on the left, aqua on the right!

Orph the awkward turtle.

Probably a “dark side” and closest to Virgil. Apologies too much. Very quite. Keeps out the way.
