Children of the Gods (Important poll #12306)

Haha I’m just glad it turned out pretty clean here. But yeah Rosinante is hands down one of my favorite anime characters. He’s cool, a huge klutz like whenever he lights up a cigarette, he always set himself on fire much to the annoyance of Law. Aaaaand his heartbreaking death scene and final farewell to Law. No one really had that kind of emotional impact on me like Rosinante.

This video pretty much shows just what kind of a person he was in One Piece.

Shit. Damon and Nyx is like oil and water, people with that trait tick her off. A lot. But you know what they say, opposites attract.
Well I’m going to write that fic now.

Excuse me, but marry me please???

Thanks for the support.

Still afk-ish (slightly more active on tumblr if you want to chat with me) but since I got an ask asking about what am writing on with Sophia, decided to share it here so have a snippet

She Deserves Good Things Tbh

Sophia smells like a girl drowning in her own memories.

Every night, in the stillness of forgotten alleys and city lights, the pungent taste of salt — so very much like how the bay air used to smell like when her Aunt Alice would take her to trips along the shore — clings to skin. Her hair and back are slick with sweat, like the sand that used to pebble along the gaps between her toes, as she clutches around the thin sheet of her sleeping bag. Tighter, Tighter, Tighter.

She never really dreams. There are only nightmares when she sleeps.

Lol I kinda had that feeling as soon as Rohie said what Aeson’s last name was in that list of everyone’s personality a week or two ago

where was that exactly?

i am internally facepalming; shameful child i am

Man I don’t wanna go all the way back. I’m too lazy for that shit right now lmao but if you remember that list Rohie made with every RO describing their personality and their weakness like Calypso being prideful while Adonis is lustful I think?

ooh right now I remember

gotcha


I always thought his last name was Thantos simply bec his dad was Hades :woman_shrugging:

in other news, it warms my heart how lots of us are getting into writing blurbs/fanfics for our Laveis and the rest of the Essenverse.

If @Fay can produce a fic, then maybe I might too! lol

Can I tell you guys a secret? I don’t really like the Bearer or Aeson’s surnames. They’re so weird when everything is taken into consideration.

Under the cut because I'm sure it doesn't bug most of you the way it does me.

Yeah, to me it seems Thantos is just a corruption of the Greek Thanatos which is altogether odd to me since Thanatos was a Greek god in his own right, not simply an aspect of Hades.

As a matter of fact, it’s actually up for debate whether or not Thanatos was originally an aspect of Hermes in his Psychopomp role (Guide of the Dead) that simply grew into its own godhood.

By contrast, Angelis is…even odder, to say the least.
Angel, the word, comes from the Latin angelus meaning messenger which itself is a loanword from Greek aggelos which might itself be a loanword.

Regardless, Angelis as a surname is quite…plain. There’s no intrinsic meaning or symbolism associated with the word in Ancient Greek, it simply mean messenger, most likely the mounted, courier kind.

Everything that we (in the West) think of when we hear the word angel comes directly from Christian theology.

Thusly, any duality in meanings and symbolism for Thantos/Angelis are…inherently Western and completely hinge upon Christianity which, I’ll be honest, has always bugged me about the game, because then holy shit, Where the hell does Jesus fit in all this??

I will say this.
While I don’t especially like Thantos as Aeson’s surname, Angelis does fit Priscilla really well, considering that she delivers the prophecy.
But other than that…eh. I would prefer something different for Aeson.

Personally I would give him a surname like Theodorakis (son of Theodore, which itself means god-given), Panagakos (leads from the front), or Thanos (immortal oh the irony) if you really want the whole ‘death’ angle.

And @violet yes, pls, write! I love reading the fanfics you guys make!

Oh don’t you see? You’re the child of God! That means you are Jesus! So is Adonis, Aeson, Avery, Calypso, Saint, Sage, Santiago and every demigod ever but let’s just gloss over that.

Not to worry, we’re all Jesus here.

Of course you can, my writing skills are kind of unpolished. But I would love to read your fanfic.

Love and support intensifies
