Finally found an adult Emperor moth - Saturnia pavonia. Didn't have to wait long to find a second one. ^_^

Ok so… I’ve been thinking about Kronos and Hera for a while, I could go on and on about their parallels and complicated relationship, but long story short as far as the Iliad is has been implied that Hera visits Kronos whenever she was angry with Zeus, so he might have a soft spot for her and she herself doesn’t hate him for whatever reason.

Which I find fascinating, even in roman mythology Juno (Hera’s Roman counterpart) was named Saturnia after her father Saturn (Roman Kronos). Modern media doesn’t really explore their relationship at all, even a recent retelling of Hera doesn’t explore her relationship or parallels with her father at all.

Which I think is a shame

SERVANT TO A CRUEL GOD

This is my OC, Fox, in a drawing inspired by Ary Scheffer's painting of Eliza Branicka, who was likely a transgender man. The text is also remotely inspired by words they wrote, though translated and paraphrased based on what I remember my friend telling me lol

I will not explain his lore for the simple reason that I tried once, very recently, and it took like ten almost full length Discord messages.

The original painting undercut:
