I smile like an idiot when I see my man, who’s not my man, on my television screen.
More of the prophecy gremlin ✨
I practiced more and tried to make him more like the official art
Some of my tavi HCs I doodled✨
I hate people who legitimately expected rick Riordan to write the tsats book for mature audiences and whine when it obviously wasn't and scream "well he's aware that he has a lot of adult fans so he should accommodate us" LIKE?? NO??? THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS???
YES, Rick Riordan IS aware you exist but you are no longer his target audience. You can appreciate the book as an adult for being great literature but if you're looking for a mature book THEN GO READ A FUCKING BIG BOY BOOK??
There's plenty of great YA fantasy out there.
Rick isn't going to stop writing books for middle schoolers just because you feel entitled to it?? That's not how it fucking works???
🎼 𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 : Musician, Lover, Mythologer
Legendary Orpheus, son of a Muse and of a King or, in some versions, son of a Muse (Calliope) and the God Apollo, is one of the most talented Greek musicians of the bygone past most well-known for His katabasis in search of Eurydice.
Aside from being a great Musician able to charm Di Inferi and a Lover so devoted He descended into the silent darkness near the throne of Orcus, Orpheus is also, according to some, a cultic leader of the Orphics, followers of a mysterious religion of Ancient Thracia. He is a source of many hymns, including one to the dying God Dionysus-Zagreus or some to a furious, grieving Demeter. Beheaded by the Bacchantes, He is the definition of devotion to His arts, courage, love, and enormous charm. I’d like to venerate Him as a Hero, be He mortal or demigod.
Orpheus - to me - is one of the Patrons of solitude, grieving, sacrificial and catarthic love, devotion, spiritual influence. Honey-voiced, quick-fingered, of courageous heart.
Here are some objects and activities to venerate and remember Orpheus or invoke Him in one’s daily life. I have no right to deify Him and thus I personally feel that I can’t offer to Him. However, I want to remember His journey, His life, and His choices as He is most cherished to me out of all Ancient heroes.
𝄞 Objects related to the art of music, be it instruments, musical note sheets, players, vynil sets, or simply one’s favorite music box. 𝄞 Flowers associated with the dead and/or the Underworld such as dandelions or myrtle - and Orpheus’ flower, be it in paintings or in other ways of depiction. 𝄞 Hymns, myths, and stories of His cult written down in any form one would desire - pinned or placed where one can look at them often. 𝄞 A wreath, natural or fake, of golden leaves, be it myrtle or laurel, to signify His role as a well-known Poet and Musician - and as a child to Apollo. 𝄞 Paintings of snakes, ethically retrieved bodily parts of snakes, or any sort of imagery of the animal to remember the unfortunate departure of Eurydice.
𝄞 Learning how to play Orphic hymns on any instrument of your possession or singing them with the best of your ability to keep His words and His mythological truth close to heart and deep in mind. 𝄞 Growing flowers of the Underworld, if possible, to remember and venerate His descent. Partaking in herbal craft, whatever it might be, and learning more of the local flora of the Ancient Thracia. 𝄞 Remembering Him when the idea of devotion in love crosses your mind, venerating His all-encompassing love for His adored Eurydice that brought Him further down than many have walked.
