There was something about staring into a mirror made several hundred years ago, during which time the country it had been made by had been fighting a war against your own.

She didn’t know what that something was. She wasn’t sure she wanted to find out.

Nenet mulled over that thought as she adjusted the neckline of her dress, tucked a short lock of hair behind her ear and took inventory of her face (and the room, with its rails of old dresses, gaudy jewellery displayed by mannequins and walls decorated in gold). 

She picked up a tube of red lipstick and began to apply it, green eyes staring back at herself.

Perhaps that something was the feeling of what it must have been like, hundreds of years ago, going about your daily life with the threat of an invasion by people who fought like wild things and never surrendered.

Rules: bold what applies to your character.

For Mallory!

APHRODITE          

laughter-loving, sweet smiles, dressed in silk and satin,
flower in their hair, thrives on attention, sees the world as a runway,
unapologetically sexual, the sea washing their ankles, in love with love,
stirrer of passion, cunning concealed by painted lips, secret daggers, doves,
revolution in their kiss, delighting in the waves, flirtatious winks, strolling
along the beach, staring wistfully from a balcony, this is how to be a
heartbreaker, your girlfriend thinks
they’re attractive, wants to be adored, gets turned on by danger.

APOLLO          

glitz and glamour, art galleries, turning the volume up, being made of gold, neatly-organized music
sheets, notebooks filled with poetry, bathing in the sunlight, the powerful
urge to create, collecting vinyl records, beautiful cover of wonder-wall,
playing multiple instruments, tasting like sunshine, healing touch, speaking in
prophecies, smile mingled wrath, shunning lies, sporting shades, hanging out at music festivals with their friends,
sleeps naked, arrow to the heart, paint brushes, probably has a Tinder account.

ARES        

armed for battle,
wants to raise a dog with their
significant other, soft spot for children, gives piggyback rides, scarred
body, blood on their hands and face,
willing to fight the world for the ones
they love, fights against injustice, warm hugs, well-worn combat boots, boxing gloves, bandages wrapped around bruised knuckles, fist raised in protest,
ignites revolutions, fear is a prison,
more sensitive than what their tough shell will make you think, exhausted,
damaged goods, force to be reckoned with,
red roses, curses under their breath.

ARTEMIS          

keen sense of a hunter, freckles like constellations on
their skin, piercing eyes,
dishevelled braid, moonlight peeking through the shadows, the calm of the forest
at night, lying on the grass and staring at the stars, mother doe and her fawn,
protecting their kin, the moon
shimmering on a still lake, quiver full of arrows resting against the bark of a
tree, running with wolves, bonding
while circled around a campfire, not
being much of a people person, arrow
hitting a target, popping egos, patience
on 3%, touches heaven and returns howling.

ATHENA          

discerning gaze, unreadable face, the patience of a
lifelong teacher, quiet museums, owl perched on their finger, armor that
intimidates, eye for architecture, plays the sims for the sole purpose of
building houses, studied the blade while everyone else was busy getting laid,
big fan of logic, loves brain teasers, go-getter,
balls of wool displayed on shelves, ancient buildings, sweaters in neutrals and
cool colors, hair done up, can kill you with their brain, heads to the library often to research, sharpened pencils, abs that can cut steel, stoic statues, pottery
classes.

DEMETER        

soil-covered hands, smile that can bloom flowers, skin loved
by the sun, being the mom-friend, can lift you and your friends, flowers kept
in the pockets of overalls, takes pride in their beautiful garden, speaks to
their plants (elementals), leaves rustling in the wind, stalks of wheat,
picking fruit, greenhouses, heart as
strong as a mountain, values
simplicity, daisies dotted across a collarbone, curls crowned with flowers,
folded pile of sweaters in warm hues, pulling out fresh-baked bread out of the
oven and the smell wafting through the air.

DIONYSUS          

drunk shitposter,
on their sixth glass of wine before you’ve even finished your second, seductive smirks, untamed curls, rich
fabrics on dark skin, sleek-furred panthers, theater masks, stage productions,
receiving a standing ovation, rose caught between their teeth, being the baby
of the bunch, wild parties that last from sundown to sunup, creeping vines,
inspiring loyalty, grand opera houses, masquerade balls, rolls of film,
shattered chandeliers with broken glass scattered across the wine-spilled
floor, pouring champagne into flutes, lives for the applause.

HEPHAESTUS          

the calloused hands of someone who knows labor, sweaty brow,
flame burning in their eyes,
inventive mind, broad shoulders, steampunk goggles, nuts and bolts stored away
in little boxes, ashes, striking a match, blueprints for future projects,
fixing up a busted up car and giving it cool upgrades, wrestles with bitterness, work boots have seen better years, wrinkled plaid shirts, iron melted in
blazing fire, huge jackets, crafting masterpieces, greased-stained overalls,
fascination with robotics, pain is fuel, stack of weaponry, even their muscles
have muscles.

HERA          

resting bitch face,
dressed to the nines, cows grazing on a pasture, cool rain, loving and hating fiercely, hand
clutching a string of pearls, large chandelier with glittering crystals, plays
the sims for the sole purpose of killing off their sims, romance to realism,
pictures of the sky while flying on a plane, files that under ‘fuck it’, downs glasses of wine as they relax
with a scented bubble bath and netflix, like their selfie or you’re grounded,
knows 57 convenient ways to murder a man, dark
eyes that penetrate your soul, marble and gold.

HERMES          

devil-may-care smile,
ink-stained hands, always up-to-date on the latest technology, will steal your
french fries, does it for the vine, shitposter,
puts googly eyes on everything, meme
hoarder, long drives on the highway,
ma and pop diners, spontaneous road
trips, folded maps, fingers dancing
across the keyboard of a laptop, shooting hoops on the basketball court,
chatting up strangers as you all journey to your own destinations, goes jogging in the morning, mixes
redbull with coffee, menace on april fool’s, hoodies and sneakers.

POSEIDON          

storm with skin, colorful coral reefs, waves crashing
against the shore, the sea casting its spell, stroking the soft fur of a cat,
their heart pounding as their horse’s gentle trot speeds into a gallop, tousled
locks, clothes smeared with paint, owns several sketchbooks yet always yearns
for more, leather jackets, fondness for diy projects, handwriting that flows
across the page, nimble fingers playing the strings of a violin, velvety
singing voice that haunts your dreams, mood as ever-changing as the sea, the
roar of a motorcycle, compass with a spinning arrow.

ZEUS          

thunder in their
heart, running on coffee, flash of lightning, natural charisma,
eloquence, badass in a nice suit, aficionado of history, force of nature, lenny face, pretends
they don’t have feelings but they do, nightmare-filled nights, proud arm
around their lover’s waist, high-rise buildings, planes soaring through a
cloudless sky, technician on the piano, maintains order, strong handshake, juggling multiple events on their busy schedule
with ease, most likely to be voted class president out of their peers,
expensive watch.

I dont really know who to tag so I’ll just do @strawberryspaceship and @editedandwrittenbyhannah

To Walk With Legends

They call her princess, only daughter of the man who ruled over a small town with fear and bloodshed and the power of his wife. Princess, the woman with snakes for hair calls her the first time she meets the girl who would hold her symbol. Princess, her father calls her, a twisted smirk on his face as he watches her read great tomes by the time she’s five because she will be the heir to her mother’s magic, he knows that. He doesn’t know that she doesn’t intend to stay, especially not after he starts to “train” her and leaves her with bruises painting the side of her face.

Nenet doesn’t have time to listen to what she is called or what she’s supposed to do, there are magics to study and myths to learn and plans to form. Because lingering inside her head is the feeling she has to be ready, there’s no time to wait.

Who here knows about Moshi Monsters? No one? That’s okay.

You’re still going to have put up with the rant I am about to compose because my friends are idiots and MR. SNOODLE ISNT A FREAKING PIG YOU INGRATES.

Okay, I suppose I should explain.

image

This thing is one of the moshlings you can get in the game and is the subject of this rant.

Firstly, some reasons why he is an elephant.

  1. Look at that trunk! Have you ever seen a pig with a trunk? Unless he was going on holiday, I sincerely doubt it.
  2. The ears! Pigs have pointy ears, he has rounded off ears that flop down.
  3. His tail is straight! Not curly!
  4. The freaking wiki page clearly states that he was inspired by an elephant! Not a pig! (SOURCE)
  5. Another thing! He resembles a Titchy-Tusked Mammoth (Moshi Monster’s version of the woolly mammoth), just without the fur, yellow instead of blue and without tusks! It even says on the Titchy-Tusked Mammoth‘s page that he ‘is a blue mammoth version of a Silly Snuffler’ (what Mr. Snoodle is). Real life elephants look like real life woolly mammoths, not pigs! (SOURCE)

Secondly, some reasons why he could be seen as a pig:

  1. He’s…fat?
  2. His legs are stumpy?
  3. His trunk resembles a pig snout?

As you can see, that list is much shorter.

In conclusion, Mr. Snoodle is an elephant and anyone who calls him a pig is wrong and should be ashamed. Of course, they can still call him a pig, just be sure to let them know that they are wrong.

Thank you and good day.
