About Calypso And Circe

About Calypso and Circe

Talk of Rape/SA Trigger Warning

So listening to "Love in Paradise" and like...even though the whole Calypso raping Odysseus thing is (potentially) cut, she still came across as very creepy to me (probably intentionally). Like, it could just be my bias because I love Epic!Circe, but Circe didn't feel nearly as creepy to me in "There Are Other Ways" as Calypso does in "Love in Paradise". And to be fair, this Circe wasn't actually intending to seduce Odysseus, while this Calypso was, but it genuinely feels like Circe respected Ody when he said he had a wife he was loyal to and let him go immediately after that, and they part ways on seemingly good terms. Unlike Calypso who kept pushing Odysseus' boundaries and kept him trapped for seven years. Although, while I don't like Calypso, I will say that I do feel like this version didn't realize how creepy she was being and that she was only making things worse for Ody. (Although I will not accept her calling him that).

Circe Saga in Warrior!Penelope AU

So does Penelope go to Aeaea and meet with Circe here, or does she go to Colchis to meet with Circe's brother Aeetes instead? Aeetes does have two kids and a kingdom that could take the place of Circe's nymphs, but also I think getting rid of Circe would be a shame

im so in love with @circusmantis artwork with child of Princess and Long Quiet so i draw them too😭😭

cute lil thing

(spoiler i guess)

i know narrator is dead but just imagine this tragicomedy

thanks mantis for this child i love them and ur art🤲

Why do most of your voice designs have all their faces obscured? Also, could you draw what their faces look like?

This is a fun question! The real answer is a mix between:

- when designing them I wanted the voices to have the same "do they have a beak? Is it just a flat face?" deal that The Long Quiet has

- I wanted to keep the designs halfway between "bird monster" and "humanoid" (this resulted in a lot of them landing in furry territory)

- I can't draw beak mouths so that option was out but I didn't want to draw humans

Likewise, the actual answer to "what would they look like without their masks?" is just, a flat face without a nose. Which is kinda boring even if that's simply how I treat their faces when drawing them! So instead, I interpreted your question as, what would they have looked like if I went the full human route?

Ta-daaaaa! Honestly as interesting as this challenge was, the result is too unnatural for me! Where are my boys?? Who are these guys!?!????

We are a path in the woods. We have no beginning, and we have no end…

Are you a path in the woods? Are you a body? Can you even grasp the fuzziest edges of the shapes that confine you?

Uncropped no background version! Because I really like this design for awakened long quiet

falls over.... cheated for the bingo pretty please ? :3

CHEATED TIME EVERYBODY!!!!! YEAHHHH!!!!!!

honestly, top tier voice, he's SO FUNNY and also dare I say a lil cunty. He's silly and I want nothing but good things to happen to him(lie).

Honestly, when I first got into stp I DID NOTTT understand what his deal was. To me, cheated was just a mini stubborn, and I can't tell if it's because they're actually similar as characters or because their fan made designs often give off the same vibe. I think it's both?? idk. But as I got more familiar with his route and some other routes he's present in, I've gained a newfound appreciation for Cheated as a character. I think his chapter 1 is very interesting and says a lot about him as a character. He had no problem with us killing a possibly innocent princess and going along with the Narrator, even though we clearly didn't trust Him completely (otherwise we'd believe Him about the princess not having a knife or being dead). So this guy right here had no problem killing someone in cold blood , but the moment the princess tries to defend herself, bro gets sooo madddd it's funny. And honestly I think there's a lot of potential for a dynamic with Cold, since you know, Cold is kinda the version of Cheated that managed to actually "win" the game. And also A LOTTT of sweet dynamics with other princesses. I think it'd be a bit hard for him to empathize with someone who's not,, well, himself(or part of him??) but if he does, it'd be pretty cute, I think. We kinda saw something similar in the thorn chapter, but I mean in like,,, a characters-being-able-to-interact-with-each-other type of way. Still what we saw in the thorn was also very sweet. I would love l9ve loveee for him and Spectre to chat honestly!!
