Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year
I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me
PARIS: Um. So like… when I make a decision, will you be mad at me? ATHENA: I am the goddess of wisdom and warfare, favored of Zeus. The frivolities of lesser women are beneath me. PARIS: Oh good. I wasn’t choosing you. *LATER* ATHENA: Odysseus. Kill them all. I’m not horsing around.
I have decided to take up traditional art cuz digital has become kinda boring and well… it’s definitely as challenging as I wanted it to be lol
More character bust explorations… Once I have everyone down I’m gonna make some nice finished bust refs of them all :3 #art #ocs #illytheros #agathon #helene #archippus #hyakinthos

Please continue to contact your senators and demand they oppose KOSA and the KIDS Act. Every vote torn away from this bill matters www.congress.gov/members/find...

The KIDS Act is facing serious headwinds in the Senate, with Marsha Blackburn getting pushback from both Cruz and the White House on what should be in the bill, and what can pass. — via @benbrodydc.bsky.social. Cruz says he'll vote for it, but doesn't believe it has the votes.
I don’t think Iphigenia’s sacrifice should be excused or softened at all—BUT I do think people villainize Agamemnon unnecessarily. 1) It was a SACRIFICE. You can’t sacrifice something that you don’t love and that doesn’t pain you to lose. Iphigenia was Agamemnon’s beloved daughter, the apple of >>
I’m putting Agamemnon up on the high shelf until the populace at large can prove they’re ready to stop being fucking stupid as shit about him.
One of my players' characters with his mama/mentor figure, Theokleia! She is a mage and adopted him from a foundling :) #theokleia #ocs #art #friendocs #xenos #illytheros
Last night I needed an Oresteia movie so badly that I briefly actually did mental math on how hard it would actually be to become a film maker.
I fear I may have to watch the Odyssey. Every new thing I learn about it makes me go “wait, that’s goated actually…”

#ocs #friendocs #illytheros #agathon #lykaos #Olympia #headcanons Agathon is absolutely a fabulously loving father who shows up for Lykaos every single time in every way imaginable from the moment they’re born and put in his arms. HOWEVER. This does not necessarily mean there was no >>
And thanks to one of my dear players, their relationship is about to get a HELL of a lot more complicated! #illytheros
I hope those load bearing followers know how much they mean to artists. Regulars, esp regular commenters that engage your work and story do not go without notice and are to be cherished. It's esp why I try to reply to let them know! (and why I wish I could keep track of any I've missed replying to )
Fun story and potential tip for artists: find a load boarding follower or two. When my account was brand new and less than 10 people knew I existed I had one follower who would like almost every piece I made. I appreciated his support so much that my partner knew his screenname- 🧵
