[nobodieshero-main]

rereading the bryn oneshot and i cant get over the idea of the bias rin had with snakes being transferred to drako. the way literally no snake can harm rin even if they wanted to (which they never would). drako now completely unafraid of even the most poisonous snakes and they always come to him and curl around him because they miss herines and his essence exists in the heart of drako

!!!!

there's just something soooo about the snakes of burnos recognising herines in drako, and even those born years after rin's passing coming across his brother and feeling this sense of oh, i knew you once. like this inherited sense of safety that lives deep in drako's marrow.

i also like to imagine that there's a noticeable uptick in snake sightings/interactions whenever prince adeunus is in kusig; and it being like a sort of informal calender - "oh i hear the prince is returning, best keep an eye on where the kids are playing" etc etc

and god what must it be like for drako? to have those small pieces of his brother returned so innocently?? snakes from all over seeking him out just to say hello, we miss him too

just saw your "in agony akila" drawing and it's so good!! you're seriously mastering the art of like. framing and structure of artworks. i forget the exact word but you know what i mean

thank you 😭🙏 i think drawing tbos fanart has done more for my artistic skills than my high school TAFE course and its twice as rewarding

FUN TBOS FACT ABOUT TIAMAT! she's very dreea coded!!! (which is funny to me bc it wasn't actually on purpose and i only discovered tiamat later on in my research and went 'wait a minute...' i love it when that happens). so tiamat is associated with serpents and dragons a lot of the time and she's also the mother of all the gods (and the goddess of chaos bc apparently she wasn't serving hard enough already). like she was not only one of the first entities in the mythology but she was regarded as ruling over all the others, and the creation story follows the rise of marduk via the slaying of tiamat, which is so cool of her to be quite honest. so there's the whole serpent imagery mother goddess thing there and she also birthed a shit ton of monsters which is ofc soooo dreaacore (im guessing these monsters are why dnd got its hands on tiamat? idk but if it is that's honestly fairs. i recommend looking up the monsters of tiamat/tiamat's creatures bc they're soooooo). i think you'd like this part of the mythology especially bc of how you write nobodies hero, but tiamat was eventually killed bc she was too hashtag real for everyone else and when she died she was sliced in half by marduk and "he made from her ribs the vault of heaven and earth. Her weeping eyes became the sources of the Tigris and the Euphrates, her tail became the Milky Way" how cool is that! also her son/lover (yeah...) was also beheaded and his blood mixed with clay to make the first humans. i love it when something divine is slain and their very essence is so powerful that it mixes with the surroundings to create something new like that is truly thee trope of all time. this is all from the enūma eliš which is a babylonian creation story btw. okay i swear im done

god thats so fucking cool that you just Know That
