In between planning and writing the Ares centric story, I've entered a writing contest to expand my practice. Feel free to go read my weekly short stories.

The Dual Forms of Ares

and what if i told you that ares’ youthful beauty is essential to his characterization of brutality? that the violence a prideful young man can inflict is some of the most frightening of all?

this references one of my older art pieces of him as a child. basically when he loses a war he will receive the brunt of the fallout and take on the form of a starving child that’s been ravaged by the terrors of warfare, but if he wins he will retain his adult form

Remember, even the most famous authors started out as confused people yelling at their laptops.

Can you share your designs of Hera? I'm really curious and your artstyle is amazing

hera before zeus ruined her life and she became a bitter woman and resentful mother

[quackysprouts]

every day she thinks about what could have been

i think these are just headcannons for modern au hera tho. greek mythos hera is allowed to commit murder so she’s a little less frustrated. rip to hephaestus tho, ur mom got too much on her mind to be emotionally available to u and so u just gotta compete against ur hot but bloodthirsty jock brother gang

With KindleVella closing, I've found a new place to put my stories. As I learn which platforms and processes work for me.

Fictionate.me is a very similar process. A place to begin my career as an author. Come read about Jack Lloyd and his search for the truth behind the ghost haunting his lighthouse.

Curse of the Wandering Devil

"Doomed to die by the one you love." Such a curse lingered on the subjected soul. If only Jack Lloyd had known his solitary position as the ancient lighthouse keeper placed him in the center of a paranormal mystery. Jack suddenly found himself lost among ghosts, witches, and psychics after one strange summer night under the Hungry Ghost Moon. All Jack had wanted was to find out who Captain M. Sosa was and lay those bones to rest. He now had a curse to break.

Glad to see more people join in to worship Lord Ares

He doesn't get enough recognition

ares, aphrodite, and harmonia

To accuse me of something I didn't do is to give me (and Hermes) an idea.
