#MythAugust 5 The minor deities who serve the gods are their children. They don’t have powers, but god born children are different than normal people. Their hierarchy depends on their father and the amount of children they have. Each has an heir and they fight like cats and dogs for superiority.

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 21h ago

#MythAugust 5 Today is about hierarchy! Who ranks highest or lowest among your gods/spirits/whatever? Is there a consensus about this ranking? As usual, interpret the question as loosely as you need to to fit your specific worldbuilding, and feel free to skip if it's not relevant to you! 😊❤️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 5: Let's talk hierarchy! Which of your deities are more powerful/respected? Are there minor deities who serve the big ones?

(1) #MythAugust 4 The dragons are viewed as the antithesis of the gods, but the ones that still remain aren’t anything like the original guardian beasts that the gods created hundreds of years ago. The people on the other hand definitely divide them into bad gods and good gods.

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 2d ago

#MythAugust 4 Today, tell me about the different factions among your gods/spirits. Think like the Æsir & Vanir in Norse mythology, or angels & demons in Christianity. What's their relationship? Are they sworn enemies? Sometimes allies? Interpret the question however makes sense for your story!

#MythAugust 3 The most prominent moral code is loyalty between them. Beyond that they each have their own sets of morals and ethics that are most centric in their cities. Some focus on aspects that are issues for immortals while others actually care about mortal affairs.

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 3d ago

#MythAugust 3 What kind of moral code do your fantasy gods or spirits follow, if any? Do they share similar moral values to the people, or is their sense of morality completely alien? Do they even do "morality" at all? As usual, interpret as you wish and don't forget to interact with others! ☺️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 3: How does your deities' sense of morality align with that of people? I.e. are they moral, immoral, amoral, a mix...?

Day 2 #MythAugust I think this would be a good point to mention the dragons. They’re not gods or deities but they are commonly seen as the antithesis to them. The gods lack of control over them and their behavior requires human intervention which leads to different religious practices.

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 4d ago

#MythAugust Day 2 Tell us about the major god(s) or spirit(s) in your fantasy religion! This is meant to be a broad overview - we'll have focused questions for specific gods later! Feel free to interpret the question as loosely as you need to if you aren't working with a traditional pantheon 😁

It’s reached a point with companies who invested into ai that is familiar. Someone you know spent too much money on something stupid. Now they’re begging you to help recoup the cost by asking you to use/engage with it to validate them. I’m sorry but I won’t play sudoku on your fridge.

Korrine Crawford@almostwriting.bsky.social · 4d ago

The belief system doesn’t have a name overall, but instead is called whatever combination of the polytheistic pantheon a group chooses. There are multitudes of combinations between about a dozen deities. #MythAugust #writingcommunity

From A Born Angel Chapter 14: “Kalista, are you all right? You’re more distant than usual, and you’re acting strangely,” he remarked as he sat at Solomon’s desk. I shrugged and folded my arms on my desk. I looked up at the blackboard, and there in bold white letters was my fate. I shook my head and started untying my braid. “I’m not okay. I think this is what going insane feels like,” I replied, chest constricting as I stared at the board. He followed my gaze then turned to watch me remove the braid from my hip-length hair. He looked down at his notes and then to my face before he nodded. “When did you find out?” he asked, and I blinked at him.Quote Snippet from A Brave Sacrifice, Kalista book 2: Chapter 4 “How?” I asked, trying not to let myself hope too hard. He ran over what Packana had said when he returned from the trial and what he read of the minutes. He searched for anything that would help me but didn’t find much. “You have to find him and break whatever holds him captive,” he vaguely explained, and my heart stopped its dance. I stood and paced from the couches to the door then passed the couches to the bed like he had a few moments before. “That’s easier said than done. I don’t know where he is…” He sat forward as I passed him, but I didn’t stop. I was too busy going over what I’d learned from Beryx about where he was and who held him captive. “If you don’t know where they’ve imprisoned him, how have you met?” Beelzebub interrupted, watching me pace with just his eyes. I turned back at the head of the bed and set my hands on my hips. “If you’d let me finish my story, you’d know already,” I said...Quote Snippet from The Stained Angel, Created Angel Novels, Book 1: Chapter 7 “You were spying on me.” He straightened the leather coat he always wore paired with black pants, a stark white dress shirt, and suspenders. His usual tie was gone as if he were in the middle of getting ready himself when he realized I was alone. “I didn’t personally. I try to stay out of my siblings’ way, but Dokiel heard some of it. You’ve warded your house well against those of us that try to intrude,” he said, and I scoffed. “Not as well as it will be after I tweak it again,” I muttered, turning back to the sink. I put the mascara away and pulled out my black lipstick with the blue flecks. “I don’t intrude unless I have a valid concern,” he said, and I paused with the applicator wand halfway across my bottom lip.Quote Snippet from The Haunted Angel, Created Angel Novels, Book 2: Chapter 1 “They failed to mention that Remiel is also missing,” I said. She visibly startled and her eyebrows furrowed. “Does Lou still think Remiel is just being a reclusive ass again?” she asked. I glanced at her then back at the road as we moved another few feet, nearing the turn off. “Since he’s in the habit of ignoring the blatantly obvious, I’d have to say yes. Why wouldn’t Michael mention it?” I asked aloud and not really to her. She shifted as we finally got to the turn, and I merged over. “He’s not in the habit of oversharing with criminals,” she said, before she stiffened, and her eyes widened a touch. I glanced at her as I pulled into the alley behind my apartment. “I didn’t mean to say that aloud.” “You think I’m a criminal. Yet, you still asked to meet me,” I said. She sighed and her shoulders drooped. “Look, I don’t know why I contacted you. Something told me I should. So, I did,” she said as I parked the car next to the steps to my porch. She looked around as I unwrapped my breakfast sandwich. “I’ve done a lot of dumb things when I was sleep deprived, but this could get me fired. So, don’t tell Michael.”

Just a friendly reminder that heat sickness is a sneaky bastard. If you’re hot and getting dizzy go inside immediately and put ice packs in your armpits or take a cold shower/bath until you cool down. Taking your clothes off before the shower is optional if you’re feeling nauseous.
