It’s got all your basic moving parts: Gen and Irene heading up to the crenellations,
Phresine loving on baby Hector while baby Eugenia drops a stolen earring that matches her dad’s (with her mountain goat plushie nearby),
Helen and Sophos just being stupid cute with their wee heir, while the Magus still studies his map and Pol’s sword leans on the wall beneath the three countries’ banners,
Your pantheon of deities, with the Great Goddess at the center,
Teleus and Relius enjoying each other’s company while Pheris (now with mobility aid!) ignores them (also there’s a pigeon),
Costis and bespectacled Kamet with a plate of nut cakes, and a familiar author in the background with her stack of six books,
And, finally, our long-awaited elephant, while two of Gen’s attendants search for their king.
After reading those Tangled books, I really want to draw some more Tangled stuff, but my brain has decided that none of the ideas I have are worth the effort. So I decided to look through my old stuff for inspiration, and found this unfinished gem. I threw a bit of polish on it, but I’m not super interested in finishing the comic it’s from. The poses and expressions were too fun to not share though.
Was thinking about how we see Quirin harvesting pumpkins at the end of ‘Race to the Spire’ and how pumpkins are harvested in autumn. So the whole last few episodes have to take place in fall or winter (or possibly Varian just figured out how to genetically engineer some mutant pumpkins). Which is a terrible time for Cass to start a war for exactly this reason:
I kind of wonder if there’s a bigger timeskip of Cass just waiting around for the right time to attack. It’s very funny to imagine her snowed in the tower with only Zhan Tiri for company.
But really I just wanted to draw Hector and company covered in snow, because I miss snow.
Dammit, they are so– like, do you HEAR how they TALK?? They speak as if they’re reciting poetry. And I hardly notice that in every scene in the game, JUST THE ONES WITH JULIA AND HECTOR.
I mean, everyone says “’tis” and “ergo”, but fucking, from Julia and Hector’s mouths, oh my god.
IS THAT THEIR WAY OF FLIRTING??? I swear they don’t talk that way with anyone else but themselves.
anyways, one time I got bored and I rated Greco-Roman mythology-based names depending on what happened to the character. sometimes I cringe at people’s names, so here’s a guide on what not to name your kid!
Penelope:really pretty name imo. based on Odysseus’ wife and hey, she had a happy ending! granted it took about 20 years, but not too bad 7.5/10
Hermione: cute name but everyone’s gonna think you’re a Harry Potter nerd. but if you want to correct them, tell them that Hermione was the daughter of Helen and Menelaus and that’s all you know bc she was barely referenced in the Odyssey. not too bad but kinda irrelevant and also your kid will be made fun of regardless 7/10
Victoria: what a great name, it’s classic and classical and sounds very regal. comes from the Roman goddess of victory, so that’s cool and sounds a lot nicer than Nike. your daughter is bound to win everything and be victorious (pun intended) 9/10
Simon: again, a nice, classic name. apparently Simon was one of the Telchines, or the original inhabitants of Rhodes, and son of indeterminate titans. in some stories he had flippers for hands and a dog head, so that’s kinda awkward 8/10
Gaia: kind of a bitchy name if you consider how Gaia told her son to chop her husband into pieces. not the best wife by any standards. some of you may consider that a #girlboss moment though and she wasn’t entirely bad so 5.5/10
Pandora: everytime I see that someone’s named Pandora I cringe. listen, I get it’s a pretty sounding name but are people even familiar with this story? the dumbass unleashed all of the bad things into the world; she’s the reason why you stubbed your toe and why coronavirus happened! too much bad energy for me 4/10
Hector: listen, I don’t care how old the Iliad is, I’m still upset about Hector. mans deserved better than to die at the hands of an angry gay and his backstabbing goddess. if I hear that your kid is named Hector I’m gonna take it personally and be sad about it 3.5/10
Adonis: bro his grandfather was also his father and he popped out of a tree. then he was groomed by Aphrodite and killed by Ares bc the bitch was jealous. man could not catch a break. please do not name your kid after an unfortunate product of incest and divine punishment 2/10
