Abolish- Deimos (dread) or Phobos (panic), they're brothers so if he's one someone else may be the other unsure who though
Legundo- Pan (the wild,shepherds,flocks), Hecate (magic,crossroads) or Gaia (primordial personification of the earth), I like the idea of him representing an ancient or mysterious god
Shelby- Astrea (justice,innocence) or Nike (victory), no exact reason but I like both these goddess and hope they get represented somehow
Scott- Eros (love), Iris (rainbow,messenger) or Aphrodite (beauty), I've seen all of these brought up by others and I think any of them could fit well
Drift- Hestia (the hearth,home), hypnos (sleep) or thanatos (peaceful death), just kinda vibes for these ones
Cleo- Ares (brutal war), Eris (discord) or Styx (oaths,underworld), a pretty mixed bag between violence, chaos or something more ancient and unnerving, I think any of these would be cool
Apo & Owen- Artemis (wilderness, the hunt, animals) and Apollo (civilation, music, healing) unsure exactly who would be who, i think it could go either way, but it would be cool if they matched
Pyro- Selene (the moon) or Hades (the dead, the underworld), just kinda dark, death, night vibes, im not really sure
Other assorted gods that would be cool-
Nemesis
Cronus
Persephone (it would be cool if they played more into the dread persephone, underworld goddess side of her)
Circe
Helios
Psyche
They've confirmed that its only 13 members which would perfectly cover all the olympians so it might just be them tbh, but I hope we get some minor gods aswell
my first ep “bunnytricks” is out now on bandcamp!!!!!!!!
hi :D a music bug has bit me within the past month and ive finally gotten a handful of songs to completion enough to release an ep for the first time!! yay!! consider the things i’ve been posting on my other blog as promotions or singles or something or other if you would like. please check it out!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I know everyone is talking about what god's champions everyone is. I'm also thinking about that But what i'm more concerned about is that
Everyone will be wearing just white togas, with maybe a stripe of colored fabric.
Like i know there will be at least three people who will do that. But if everyone will do that telling the apart will be impossible. (like telling the different vamp is a nightmare because they all wear red)
So i'm going to share some other options from ancient Greece for what we could have so. Or what i want to see (its mostly Mycenae, because they look so cool)
(i don't know how to make the photos smaller. i would appreciate help. i'm new on this website help. Or just any advise how writing post work. i can't find anything of help online)
First the fem's because their more fun.
FIRST OF ALL SOMEONE PLEASE DO MYCENAE MAKEUP
Just mycenae clothing too
^Also (that picture is so small)
^Let the girls out. do it you cowards i'm joking mostly
Alright masc's your turn
Please please please please
¨^ONE OF YOU PLEASE IT WOULD BE SO COOL
^I just want color daamit also Sausage would rock this. let that man be shirtless and have slutty waist. he deserves it
PLS someone have Odysseus's stupid hat. its so charming
All images are off google. i tried to only use images of website that seemed legit
www.worldhistory.org being the one i took most off
"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff
Golly, I absolutely adored their intro!! I think I'll be really fun following along with the letters to their mom as her character goes through everything the plot throws at them (Cleo is gonna survive until the end, trust!!!)!
[more closeups & yapping below]
General symbolism and details:
1.The bats! Small reminder:
The upper, active bat, represents turned vampires, and the lower, passive bat represents Oakhurst's human residents. A bats open eyes literally represents the knowledge of vampires. Likewise, closed eyes represent them not knowing about or simply not believing in vampires.
It is no secret that Cleo does not believe in vampires, instead alotting the death of the entire village 200 years ago to some sort of virus. As of such Cleo's bat has it's eyes firmly shut.
2.Their corset and accessories!
Nothing mayorly lore relevant about the corset itself, I am just really pleased with how the paneling and stitch work came out!
Cleo's accessories however are strictly made out of gold, unlike Avid's, as they don't need them to be made out of silver to ward off vampires and are purely asthetic! [psssst, peep the amazing chain!!]
3.More references!
The most obvious nod to their character are of course the nightsade flowers adorning her head and being pinned to their blouse.
The small satchels on their belts are for keeping seeds, and she has a special holster for a small shovel, as a nod to them taking over most of the farming for Oakhurst.
The clock next to those shows three quarters to midnight as a nod to them being unable to be oblivious, or uncaring, about vampires for not much longer.
The four horsemen of characterisation:
Every character portrait will be accompanied by four icons representing them, their past, and their personality. For Cleo they are:
1.A parchment roll and feaher as a stand-in to what I imagine the letter to their Mum to look like. There is obviously so much more to this part to her backstory and ,gosh, am I exited to see what it is!! The timeline of them living in Oakhurst and the big massacre just doesn`t add up unless their mum is either ancient, a vampire, or I am just stupid and misunderstood something. [the last one is very likely, lets be honest...]
2.A Nightshade flower! Little fun fact for you: Nightshades, like Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade) beong to the family Solanaceae, to whom common field plats like potatoes and tomatoes belong too!! So not only is it a cute little nod to Zombie-Cleo and the undead but also a reference to them being a farmer [intentionally or not]!!
3.A virus trappeed in the most darling little bottle. Very obviously representing Cleo's adamance to alotting the death of the entire village 200 years ago to some sort of virus or illness, almost like she bottles the idea of another reason up inside herself [aaaaa, you see what I did there!! Bottles up!]
4.Carrots and seeds. At this point I am hitting you over the head with these obvious references, oml... But yeah, gotta fill the farmer reference quota!! Plussss, carrots are part of the family Solanaceae (Nightshades) aswell!!
Ok enough with my obsession about symbolism in art and on to my final words!! I would genuinely freak out if the village had been wiped out by something that could tecnically be classified as some sort of illness or disease. Something that turns the infected into some bloodthirsty, dehumanised versions of themselves. Vampires, perchance?!!!
Oh I am so normal about this and all the implications!! Imagine Cleo's mum being "infected", having gotten turned all these years ago! That certainly would explain the weird time problems. And the heartbreaking thought that she sees it as some disease she is afraid to spread to others?? Cleo venturing out to Oakhurst to find something that can cure their mum? Oh these tragic little block people...
hey does anyone have that poem. about the author seeing two boys cuddling on a hotel lobby couch, where he refers to it as something like an island of safe anonymity or smth. its been 5000 years my college boyfriend had it written out and pinned to his wall
I rarely ever draw Scott, so this was very fun to draw!! I love that people draw him as a unicorn, but whered that come from lol? Was it an interpretation of one of his skins? Or like a very popular headcanon? I’d love to know !!!
Basically for like ages Scott's mascot for his channel has been a unicorn. I dont remember his name but Scott's got merch of him and stuff so a lot of people headcanon him as a unicorn. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first big non-human headcanons for Scott. Plus it just fits him
Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace
this part is one that i'm really going to hate. in the wake of all that happened yesterday, i need to talk about finances. i know this is long, but i urge you to read through, because i could really use some tangible, real help right now.
as many of you know, the work we did for Avid was substantial. the music we made with him has been our lifeblood for the past several months as we have been reeling from the onset of a severe, life changing disability diagnosis that prevents us from working a typical job. music, video editing, streaming, and making our own videos are about all we can do. our disabling dissociative amnesia prevents the timely and reasonable learning of new skills. while we have been working constantly with a dissociative specialist to inch towards remedying this, we do not expect that we will be equipped to work in any other capacity any time soon.
the royalties we received from the music we made together with Avid were roughly 80-90% of our income on any given month for the calendar year so far, and they have helped us stay afloat while we have been trying to go through the rigorous and ill-equipped disability system.
putting all your eggs in one basket is never a good idea regardless, and the fears i had building for the past couple of months only further emphasized this. as such, i have been trying to diversify by engaging with streaming, trying to get my name out there for collaborative work in other SMPs, and reaching out to my creator friends for editing work. i really can't thank two people in particular enough - LeonSBU and NatureOfGaming - for providing me work as they have been able to afford and especially in Leon's case, getting my name out there for other SMPs.
unfortunately, the true extent of Avid's manipulations and lies were more than i could ever have imagined. the fact that my entire understanding of his intentions has been flipped in a matter of no more than 3 days feels like being hit by a truck. for full transparency, i am no longer in contact with Avid, but i did inform them that i was leaving the fate of our music in their hands. in the final messages he sent to me before i cut contact, he told me that he "would never cut [me] off financially". he told me he would never do a lot of things, so forgive me if i have trouble trusting this. regardless, the dropoff in listenership after what has been revealed will be substantial and immediate.
in the best case-scenario, i have a month or two left before royalties catch up to this dropoff, and will see consistent income for that time still. in the worst, i will no longer be able to afford my rent by the end of the month if he does remove the music and disable my royalty splits.
what i need is two things: i need immediate funds to fall back on in case things go poorly, and i need longevity. i have been so lucky to be surrounded by so many truly astounding and generous creators who have been willing to put my name out there for work. i am hoping this comes to fruition. i am already hearing from some about potential editing opportunities which is amazing. but things are still up in the air, and i need to be quick and smart. this is why i am doing something that my fans know i hate. i'm asking for help.
as i see it, there are three pillars to this. all the highlighted text below links directly:
immediate aid - if you have the funds to spare, buying our music on Bandcamp and donating to our Ko-Fi are methods of which we see the funds in a matter of days, if not instantly. this will help us build an emergency fund if worse comes to worse.
supporting our work - by spreading the word about our streaming on Twitch and listening to our music on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube (and any other platform our music is on), you provide a significant source of consistent income that we can rely on month-to-month.
word of mouth - talking about what we do and why you enjoy it is a surprisingly big help, because it helps us find connections for potential growth opportunities and commission work. additionally, letting people know we have a Discord and are the ones responsible for Avid's music in the first place not only helps us, but it helps the people who loved Avid's music know there is more out there from the person who made his songs possible.
i'm gonna level with you all. i fucking hate writing this. i feel like a beggar. i feel humiliated. these past three days of piecing things together have been some of the worst of my life, and having to once again ask for help is the cherry on top. since i learned about the truth three days ago, this has been constantly looming over me. everything else has been made crystal clear to me, so i at least know without a shadow of a doubt what happened. but with this? i'm terrified. Avid knew my situation, my disability, my reliance on our work together. he has left me in a truly impossible situation. i am taking it as an opportunity to double down on the work i was already doing and try to turn it into a positive. i hope that you all are gracious enough to help me make that a reality. it would really mean the world right now.
for some positivity in all of this, here's a sneak peak of my next song. i'm so ready to move forwards and i'm trying to let this empower me to make some awesome fucking art. thank you to everyone who read to the end. hope to see you all soon <3
