Hermes - Blog Posts

If Hermes was in the modern day, I think he'd be a high-top Converse kid

MY FAVORITE BOYS:D

AAAAAU SO BEAUTIFUL ILYILYILYILYILYILT

SJSJSJSJNSJSNSN

Guys my boyfriend made this looks at how beautiful it is go hype him up 😞

okay guys i got bored so I colored him. here’s my hermes, colored

Some sketches for EPIC, specifically my HC about Apollo and Hermes being worsties. :)))

hermes spending time with his grandson(s) (odysseus or telemachus or both !)

I got a few requests for Telemachus and Hermes so here HAHAHA I think they can be silly together

Uncle Hades and the RBF

Still playing around with it, but here’s my Hermes design!!!

And something extra BEJSHEJ //hits play on Wouldn’t You Like

Hey, so I thought of this! (Pls be nice)

Since Hermes comes to Uber Ody(spoilers)...

Hermes Vs Calypso :p (bc Jorge said they were supposed to have a fight scene...)

My designs might change though.... 😭

Dangerous but Ody is actually happy to see Hermes

More Hermes because this unhinged guy is somehow curing my burnout

okay so. I'm playing Stray Gods: Orpheus for the first time since it released over a month ago. I'm going to just yell into the tumblr void. spoilers btw.

I went back in an old save and played through The Throne so I could have Orpheus be king of Hades because... achievement.

CERBERUS. CUTE LITTLE GUY. I WANT MORE OF HIM. PLEASE.

the Derryn thing still gets me.

not just Derryn. this whole song. imagine sitting with someone for a date and they compliment you by comparing you to Medusa.

HAHA Orpheus got so pissed when the one guy said Apollo was his favorite.

is it just me or is anyone else getting the feeling that Hermes likes Orpheus? just. the way Hermes looks at him. the way they say certain things. idk.

omg. Orpheus might be shit at modern communication. but he's got great threats.

he can't just leave. he's gotta sing a loud ass song in the middle of a public place announcing that he's done.

"I've never been in love, not ever." LIAR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW? HUH???

Orpheus doesn't want to ask the gods for another lover. that is exactly why he asked Hermes.

"I'm depressed because speed dating failed. WELP, TIME TO GET DRUNK!!"

"a seal phone"

should I flirt with Medusa? nah. I did that already. I'm going the route of hate everyone but Hermes despite the fact that I know he's not an option.

the way that Orpheus sees Medusa and is just like "oh, okay." ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE'S A MAN EATING MONSTER. THE FUCK.

LET'S KILL ATHENA!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Medusa's music is so... idk. it's uncomfortable in a good way. makes me uneasy.

"I go unnoticed here." not anymore. you are singing quite loud.

HERMES IS MORE SCARED OF MEDUSA THAN ORPHEUS. WHAT.

DON'T YOU DARE REJECT HIM, HERMES. they did it. :(

the captions revealing that a character named Daphne exists is crazy.

the little doodle profile picture is so cute. smoll.

the mic just. disappeared?

the mic is back.

Grace's voice was a jumpscare.

who's more of a stereotypical D&D bard? Orpheus or Grace?

who's at more of a crossroads? Orpheus or Grace? (seriously why is Grace just as lost as at the start of the original game???)

Orpheus would not be able to comprehend the concept of aro/ace

I always forget that Grace isn't a theatre kid. well, at least we don't have any evidence that she is.

Grace just suggested stalking a film star.

Grace is too creative for anyone's good.

this would actually be such a great scene for Hermes to say they like Orpheus.

HERMES IS PLAYING WITH CYRBERUS

THAT WAS AMAZING

anyway. this game is great. but like 10 hours straights makes you burnt out. glad I put the game down for a month. King Orpheus + find the muses is my favourite route I've done so far. the part in the one song with Grcae about the muses was so cool.

Just finished reading lore Olympus and…

I love Apollo… BUT THIS APOLLO SUCKS! LORE OLYMPUS APOLLO IS HORRIBLE!!!!! I HATE HIM SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

Aries is just a pitbull scary but is just a baby… prove me wrong

Hades is a simp

Hera… I love Hera… she is hot

Aphrodite Is a amazing nice asshole

Hermes, I love him in every universe (so far)

Poseidon Is a adorable and is like a little puppy

Zeus Needs to get some brain cells but I think Athena took them all

Athena… they give me gender envy😭 they are what I wanna be when I grow up

Persephone is a sweet pea that should be protected but should also be terrified of 

Anyway lovely series and everything about it is just amazing (except Apollo)







✨ TADA HERMES✨ we ignore that I forgot the head feathers and make it cannon that they move to his back wings when he wants to show them off (he does not need them to fly just likes how they look) there are also a few other mistakes with the wings but aside from that I actually really like this

The quality leaving as soon as it leaves clip studios will will forever be my worst enemy

REFERANCE!

Another Hermes!? Yup!

Tried some shading for this one

Reference

Hermes dancey dance!

quality is just not there but yeah

I’m calling it now Poseidon is gonna be fucking Ryan Reynalds

Edit: well this aged like milk

If you think about it epic could easily be turned analog horror series.

So, as for god Odysseus do you have any fun facts about it or at least more of how their cults work?

I'm not well versed with analog horrors (I'm a bigger fan of creepy pasta/books/movies) so I can't say much about the first part.

And for god Odysseus:

- He invented wind chimes (as a source of comfort and also a simple alarm), people attach it to the window of the rooms that they want Odysseus to protect the most (like a child's bedroom), it also works as a basic alarm since trying to break in would make a noise (the wind chimes that are made as a sign for Odysseus have a hawk feather attached to it)

- His first temple was built in Ithaca by Ctimene.

- When he met Diomedes for the first time he pretended to be human to not startle the teen but he didn't realise that the young soldier was attracted to him. (Ody is super oblivious to courting until someone says bluntly what they want/feel)

- Eris is obsessed with Odysseus. She is in love with him and at first she tries to arrange the marriage between them by getting blessings from Hermes and Zeus. Hermes instantly refused and Zeus only refused because Hermes demanded it. She always chases after him and he escapes. It would be a symbol of how you don't feel safe in places full of discord and vice versa.

- Also there would be more than one myth mentioning Eris trying to be with Odysseus (In a similar way we have more than one myth about Apollo's bad luck with lovers)

- Ody chirps and makes bird noises when happy/sad/startled

- Because he was working too much (and because Ares got mad that many conflicts were stopped) Hypnos was ordered by Zeus to make Ody narcoleptic. Now Ody takes a few naps during the day.

- he gave the hedgehog its spikes. The small animal was often bullied by other creatures which made Ody sad, especially since the little being was always playing with it. Hedgehog originally had a very soft fur, it also explained how it was too scared to bite someone. And so when a satyr was using a hedgehog as a pillow to take a nap, Ody turned the fur on the back into spikes, harming satyr and scaring him away.

- bow is his special tool that he uses for his domain. The arrows when hit by someone will send a jolt/shiver that is a silent warning from upcoming danger (explaining idea of "sixth sense"/"sensing danger(having a bad feeling about something)")

So I've been re-reading the Olympians graphic novel series (100% recommend by the way) and I kind of wanted to redesign/make "character sheets" for different greek gods I like (which isn't a lot by the way, so i won't be doing many unless you'd all like me to because I love you all <3)

The first one I did was hades. I'm super proud of that one. Then Apollo (that pose was freehanded by the way!!!!!!). Hermes is a work in progress and I half-traced the top pose. I just couldn't get the muscles to look right so I traced some of George O'Connor (the artist and writer behind the olympians series)'s art of Hermes.

The next one on my docket is Dionysos, and maybe also Pan (Hermes' son)

I might do Persephone, Artemis, and Athena but who knows honestly

but anyways do you want to see me do your favorite Greek gods? (I could probably also do other godly beings like the 7 deadly sins or smth (obv redesigned from my designs because I'm not lazy) if you want)

Love you guys, byeee!!

I drew Hermes for my English class and thought I might share! Just an art dump <3 When will I get the motivation to finish coloring my sketches in? 😭

^^ i have a story for this funnily enough

so all my life i've told my parents that i'd never be a nurse cuz syringes and large amounts of blood loss in real time trigger me

now imagine their reaction when i ask for a caduceus necklace for christmas cause, hi Lord Hermes devotee here :3, i want it for worship purposes- hell it wasn't only them, it was my whole fuckin family (i live in a big family of nurses)

all of them almost in unison just go "are you going to be a nurse after all?"

KEEP IN MIND I ALSO ASKED FOR BOOKS ON GREEK MYTHOLOGY ALONGSIDE THE NECKLACE SO IDK HOW I COULD'VE MADE MY SEMI-CLOSETED HELPOL ASS ANY CLEARER

i obviously said no and they explained to me that it was a symbol of medicine and me being a pretty well versed in the mythos just got so damn confused and proceed to explain the confusion between asclepius's staff and hermes' caduceus to them :)

+ NYC has trash cans from the department of sanitation that have the caduceus on it and it gets to me a lot even though i use those trash cans as an indicator that Lord Hermes is with me (i sometimes feel like i hear his confusion whenever i pass by them)

+ the only medical center i know that uses asclepius' staff instead of the caduceus is an urgent care/hospice place that's in front of a highschool near my home

so ye i rage daily knowing that our government uses the wrong symbol for healthcare :,)

A little fun fact I love is that the reason why many hospitals and medical things have Hermes' staff thing on them,dispite him not being a medicines God, is simply because someone at some point mixed it up with the God of medicine (not Apollo) who's staff has only one snake and no ones fixed it for some reason.

Whenever Apollo and Hermes black out drunk, they always wake up watching Emperors New Groove together.

Seriously this is like their 472829381th time watching it

Can we talk about how Apollo declared Hermes as his best friend the day Hermes was born? The brothers ever omg 😭

@av-the-art1st i absolutely love you for sending these to me, they make my day every time 🥹

Don't worry they were like that when he found them

Some epics college doodles

I swear I'm going to have a proper draw this October, just.. not today 😅

Ok, so I know it's not my usual fair, but I just got my Hestia statue for my Altar, and I'm really really happy 😁 she actually came in, I think, a little earlier than expected, which is great 👍

For reference, this is what my Altar now looks like!

So, the statue is pretty obvious, it's definitely the only statue there so far, and it's in praise of Hestia, goddess of the Hearth. Also for Hestia is the big ass painting(made by one of my absolute best friends in the world who is unfortunately not on this app but made it for my birthday 'cause she's awesome like that!!!), and then a couple of basily, minty smells for the wax melter. I also have a more official altar for Hestia that sits on the mantle piece; it's a little mini forest candleholder thing that I made a while ago with a candle that really just reminds me of Her.

The car is for Hermes, god of Messengers and Thieves. It's mainly there because He helps me a lot when I'm driving, and it felt fitting, but there's also a sticker with the number 4 on it(his sacred number) and four flowers that seemed like his vibe. There's also a strawberry because it's one of his sacred foods, but low-key I always forget that, even though I'm constantly eating strawberries 😂 He has some wax scents, but not too many, just because there weren't that many that spoke to me for him.

Right now, all I have for Apollo is a sun sticker with seven crows(both his sacred number and his sacred bird. Fun fact about that, when I was looking for stickers to decorate the altar with, there were exactly seven crows, and I think that's pretty cool), a few scents(mainly summery fresh ones, right now I have a honeysuckle scent that just really spoke to me.), and a ring I got from my grandmother that isn't shown.

I do have a few items such as the ring holder, the smaller painting (made by the same girl who did the big one), and the heart that just seemed to fit. I don't directly pray to any deities that find those items symbolic, but it couldn't hurt to keep them handy, right?

Anyways, I have a bracelet for Hermes coming in the mail that's supposed to come soon, so maybe I'll post that, too. Have a good day!
