Hades 2 early access time! WOOOO!
I started drawing this just after the technical test live stream and crossed my fingers what I wrote matched lore wise. Cool thing I figured out while coloring is that Melinoe's hair is the same color as her mom's. Like same hex code. Which is sweet.
I dunno if Hypnos is actually just sleeping til' this all blows over or if he's trapped in a coma or if he's doing some heavy lifting in the dream realm, but I miss his commentary on my stupid deaths.
CLADISTICS ruined my life

A character gets killed off BEFORE Homer tells you his lineage. Take a sip.
The tide of the war turns- ie the Trojans start winning or the Achaens stop losing- take a shot.
Someone mocks the enemy. Take a shot.
A character does something that would be beyond the strength of a normal man but they can do it because they are Heroes/Demigods. Take a shot.
Homer describes armour in such loving detail that you want to own said armour for yourself, even if you don’t usually drool over cool armour. Take a shot. Oooh Agamemnon’s blue enamel armour oooh
You get to know and like a character in just three lines… AFTER Homer’s killed him off. Take a shot.
You think “wow, Helen’s characterisation is much more sympathetic and badass than I was led to believe by pop culture”. Take a shot.
A character has a wound that should kill them, but the gods/gods’ armour saves him. Take a shot.
A character is told to say something or give a message and says the exact same words even though the two segments are only a handful of lines apart. Take a shot.
Someone gives a monologue that they really shouldn’t have the time or the breath left to say. Drink for the duration of the monologue.
Homer pauses the plot to give a long, detailed simile. Drink for the duration of the tangent.

A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ
Meet Sarya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.
Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.
This is not justice.
This is inhumane.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
Call these people and demand that she be let go to the custody in her parents.
Please call Governor Kate Brown and Senator Jeff Merkely.
📞Governor Kate Brown: (503) 378-4582
📞Senator Jeff Merkley: (503) 326-3386
Follow @justiceforsaraya on instagram. You can find info on where to send her Christmas cards and get updated on progress.
So I’ll cut to the chase on this since a lot of people are dying, drowning, and screaming for help in Cagayan and Isabela, Philippines. A lot of them have also been stranded and are standing on their rooftops as we speak.
I’m here to post a collection of donation drives that I’ve gathered online. If we can’t help them physically, we can at least make sure they have monetary assistance, food and clothing once they’re evacuated.
This is how Cagayan looks, from recent photos (not mine)
TW: screams and shouts for help
HOW TO HELP
DONATION DRIVES
Please feel free to add on this post for any other ways to help.
For context:
The Philippines has been hit by three consecutive typhoons this month alone: Quinta, Rolly (Goni internationally) and Ulysses. It’s been hitting nearly the same areas, which has made them even more vulnerable now that they’re still recovering from the previous typhoons. Our mountain ranges couldn’t shield us from this due to heavy quarrying and deforestation.
That said, these aren’t the only places in need of assistance. But these are the places in urgent need of help. And we’re trying to do as best as we can with what little we have.
I’ll update this post from time to time for full transparency.

The Philippines just got hit by the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in history
Yesterday, November 1, 2020, Typhoon Rolly (international name Goni) hit the central part of Luzon, Philippines.
source: https://twitter.com/DrJeffMasters/status/1322676688002625536?s=20
Like the tweet said, it is the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit landfall in recorded history.
The typhoon has now passed, but the aftermath is bad. Houses destroyed, farmlands flooded, and many, many evacuees. If you would like to see what’s going on, check the hashtag #RollyPH on Twitter, there’s a lot, which brings me to the most important point
how you can help
You can donate to help relief operations.
There are many donation drives currently being circulated on Twitter, and you can find them by searching the #ReliefPH hashtag, here are just a few that I’ve found that have an option to donate through PayPal.

source: https://twitter.com/KayaNatinPH/status/1322819406578155520?s=20
And there are many many more.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, a lot of people in my country are trying their absolute best to chip in and help those affected, but help from outside would definitely be something that could go a long way.
If you can’t donate, maybe a reblog could bring this post to people who could.
Thank you for reading. Stay safe and healthy, everybody.

As of September 1 2020
Don’t let their names fade. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Do you know that there is a city on Earth that actually lives in a dystopian future? and it's terrifying.
Who are the Uighurs?
The Uighurs are mostly Muslims, and number about 11 million in western China’s Xinjiang region. They see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations, and their language is similar to Turkish.
But in recent decades, there’s been a mass migration of Han Chinese (China’s ethnic majority) to Xinjiang, and the Uighurs feel their culture and livelihoods are under threat.
Nowhere in the world, not even in North Korea, is the population monitored as strictly as it is in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. Oppression has been in place for years, but has worsened massively in recent months.
- Uighurs can no longer openly practice Islam
- Men are not allowed to wear beards. Exception only for old people
- They can no longer learn their native language at school
- They cannot move freely around the country and cannot leave it
- All mosques have been turned into shops and office centers
Beijing has also turned Xinjiang into a security state that is extreme even by China’s standards, being a police state itself. The provincial government has recruited over 90,000 police officers in the last two years alone - twice as many as it recruited in the previous seven years.
At the same time, Beijing is equipping the far-western region with state-of-the-art surveillance technology, with cameras illuminating every street all over the region, from the capital Urumqi to the most remote mountain village. Iris scanners and WiFi sniffers are in use in stations, airports and at the ubiquitous checkpoints - tools and programs that allow data traffic from wireless networks to be monitored.
Checkpoints are installed in every district of the city. In simple terms, you can not get from one area of the city to another without passing the checkpoint and the police.
The data is then collated by an “integrated joint operations platform” that also stores further data on the populace – from consumer habits to banking activity, health status and indeed the DNA profile of every single inhabitant of Xinjiang.
Anyone with a potentially suspicious data trail can be detained. The government has built up a grid of hundreds of re-education camps. Tens of thousands of people have disappeared into them in recent months.
“Qu xuexi,” meaning to go or be sent to study, is one of the most common expressions in Xinjiang these days. It is a euphemism for having been taken away and not having been seen or heard from since. The “schools” are re-education centers in which the detainees are being forced to take courses in Chinese and patriotism, without any indictment, due process or a fair hearing.
Xinjiang, one of the most remote and backward regions in booming China, has become a real-life dystopia. It provides a glimpse of what an authoritarian regime armed with 21st century technology is capable of.
Uighurs are very intimidated and refuse to talk to the press, even if they miraculously escaped the country.
What’s happening in China is terrible. Maybe some people finally realize that the concentration camps are the reality of our time. There are concentration camps in America too. Don’t forget that.

A list of strange (and somewhat useless) superpowers
The things I think up whenever I take a shower are strange, but I just had to write this down.
—————
1. You can time travel, but only when you sneeze. Imagine having allergies.
2. Laser eyes but you can never turn them off.
3. Laser eyes (the laser pointer type), and you can never turn them off. Imagine looking at someone in the eye and blinding them, or checking someone out and they wonder why there are two dots of light pointed at their chest.
4. Shape shifting but your’re stuck in Europe during the medieval era.
5. You can levitate but only when you sleep.
6. Go through solid objects, but you don’t know when. You can be sleeping on your bed on the top floor of a building and wake up inside the building’s basement.
7. You can find lost things easily but when you lose something, you will never find it again even if someone else found it for you.
8. No matter what you eat or drink, your body will stay physically healthy. Problem is, you’re always hungry and thirsty and you’re not satisfied by anything you eat or drink.
9. You can see the future but you can’t tell anyone what will happen.
10. You’re an immortal being. You’ve been sentenced for life in jail.
Continue if you want to add more superpowers...

say his name. no justice, no peace.
An indigenous girl in Nova Scotia has gone missing, last seen with a known sexual offender in his 40s, and the RCMP refuse to issue an Amber Alert because "she left willingly". She has been missing since August 13th, and the members of her community have been out searching for her while the RCMP refuse to do anything

Sorry. Forgot to upload this one last week.
If you want to help people affected by the explosion, I beg of you please don't donate to petitions! The government will most likely steal it because our lebanese gov is just amazing like that 😒🙃🙃
If you do want to help please donate to the red cross. Also try and find lebanese people asking you to directly help them(kofi patreon and idk what else there is). Our houses, shops, etc... Are all shattered so we need more direct donation to be able to help.
Thankfully my house wasn't affected, but there's an artist on Instagram named Audrey (@audreyghousoub)that has put up a kofi link in one of her stories to directly help her rebuild her house. That's the only person ik who needs help (well at least with money) so it would mean a lot to help her. Edit: here's the link.
Other than that, if anyone else needs help, don't hesitate to just say it! Everyone is willing to help💕 stay safe everyone!
