I’ve drawn too little lately and wanted to do another quick picture with this one, because I liked the colours. At least two heads seem to be hiding. Hm.
Sometimes I draw things in 300x500px to ease the pressure. There’s only so much you can do within those limits, and it’s really nice.
The dryad awoke with the sun, yawning in the pale light. She stretched then got out of bed with an easy grace.
The mermaid slept on, muttering in her native language, complaining about the early hour. She returned to the sleepy seas after her sylvan wife gently kissed her forehead.
Creeping into the kitchen and whistling bird songs, the dryad began the day’s most important task: making coffee.
She slid a trowel’s worth of silt into one side of the machine and a handful of coral into the other. Breakfast prep came next.
“Good morning, lazy scales,” the dryad teased the mermaid as she finally came into the kitchen. Hair as wild as a storm, tail drifting back and forth, eyes as bleary as a treasure map, the mermaid began to reply but opted instead to simply stick out her tongue and make a silly vrrpt noise.
Giggling, the dryad set the table and laid out their breakfast.
Sigmund Freud: All men secretly REALLY REALLY want to have sex with their mothers
It’s the Oedipus Complex
Oedipus: (Who literally gouged his own eyes out and killed himself when he found out he accidentally had sex with his mother) I’m sorry it’s the WHAT complex
modern greek mythology adaptation where hades and persephone are played by john mulaney and his wife
She’s hades, he’s Persephone
Oh no, no. John Mulaney is 100% Hades.
Loves his wife
Is actually pretty chill except when it comes to stupid people
Can’t stand up for himself when others try to do him wrong
And from what we hear about her, she’s very Persephone.
Easy to underestimate
Knows her own mind
Will cut you
“So, I meet this wonderful lady. Just fantastic, my heart does that thing where it’s skipping beats, and I – all of you think I’m going to talk about how I suavely asked her out, and that is not what happened.
“I ride up in my chariot, and the first – this is literally the first thing I say to her is ‘do you want to meet my dog’?
“And this – I – this is a sign that this woman is my soul mate – she looks at her friends hanging around and says, ‘sure, catch you later, guys’.
“I’m going to skip forward here a couple of dates – no, don’t – this is not the story of how my wife met my dog – and her mom – her mom – finds out she’s seeing me. Now I know everyone jokes about how a girl’s dad is this big, hulking – going to hunt you down if you’re dating his daughter and he doesn’t like you. But if you say that, it’s because you’ve never had some girl’s mom glaring up at you from like – her mom’s like two inches taller than her, so this little furious glare from around my chin area, saying her daughter’s not allowed to come see me anymore.
“And this – okay, this is when I knew I was going to marry this girl, she looks at her mom and, cool as anything, says, ‘Too late, mom. I met his dog, ate dinner over here. I’m staying’.”
someone: The Roman gods are just taken from the Greeks wholesale me: Actually, the gods we know as the Roman gods existed for at least several centuries—-and likely longer—-before their Greek equivalents were superimposed over them. Take for example Mars, who was not just a god of war, but also agriculture. In edition, he was extremely important to the pre-Roman Italians, being second to Jupiter and being an integral member of the Archaic Triad, alongside Jupiter and Quirinus. He even has a Roman-only consort in Nerio, or “Valor”, and his relationship with Venus came much later.
