I Listened To The Full Ulysses Dies At Dawn Soundtrack For The First Time And It Was Amazing.

I listened to the full Ulysses dies at dawn soundtrack for the first time and it was amazing.

I was also listening to it while our teacher let us listen to music and study for a math thing so that might’ve shifted my perspective on the whole thing.

But my favorite character was Oedipus, I really like his song. Also Heracles’s song is pretty good, I liked Orpheus’s like fluttering vocals.

Uh, but big things are coming up. I just need the motivation to write in Percy PoV so for the time being there will probably be like. More random stuff lol-?

Why do they always have to die?

I liked Marcus, he was interesting for the whole four pages he was on! I wanted to know his deal.

Also Lit is back, he’s so goofy- uh Lit stuff in the future

I have a new character to make my obsession

Marcus the Triumvirate holdings one. I must know more about him, I have only read his description and he has captured my mind. Hand him over now.

He’s so silly and goofy. Hehehe

Annabeth and Camp Jupiter; Years of service and stuff

I was drawing a silly little comic that had Annabeth in it, and while drawing Annabeth I realized something,

By HoO Annabeth has ten camp beads. She has been at camp for the same amount of time any Camp Jupiter kid who didn’t opt to stay a little longer has. While that may seem like a random detail, it could’ve been such a like- thing?

That Annabeth. The daughter of Athena, direct like force that would drive the Romans and Greeks to war once more, has essentially had her full service to her own camp. Could we have gotten parallels between her and other Camp Jupiter kids who had been full term; perhaps other characters begrudgingly respecting her because in their eyes and their own minds she’s already done all her training. Could we have gotten a different silly little interaction between people like Reyna, or Octavian due to the fact she’d been at Camp for so long? Even if it was small like deferring to her as leader, give Annabeth some pause and stutter with her hubris flaw or whatever.

Uhh anyway, all of that to say that Annabeth and legionnaire parallels are silly and if I was more interested in Annabeth I’d love to do stuff with that but sadly I am not. But it’d be a good look at how the legion defers to power and experience and maybe I’ll bring it up again someday. Oh well, we’ll see lol

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

If I could pick two more it’d be Leo and Will. Those two and Nico are my unholy trinity I hate their guts so much-

Octavian’s Auguraculum.

Okay!!! It’s been… a while, but my boy finally gets his Auguraculum!

I made the Auguraculum finally. It is SO historically inaccurate to actual Auguraculums; I’ll admit that. But an actual Auguraculum (aside from tabernaculum augurale. Which there is little information on from what I’ve tried to find) were well maintained thatched huts. Now, I didn’t want to give him a downgrade so instead…

Here is the Final(ish) art for the outside and the Dias of the Auguraculum! The uh, inside is pretty interchangeable, there’s a lot of like, bookshelves and tables and stuffed animals and space. Seeing as it’s also the like general area where the legion is gathers at times (This is taken from Tabernaculum augurlae; which was a part of the military camps and would be the religious and legal center for Camp Jupiter. Temples get to be for the New Rome citizens.)

But uh, I based it off of things like the Parthenon, and also just old Greco-Roman buildings? It’s fantasy and again, I wanted to give my guy an interesting looking building.

Now the literal and figurative centerpiece of this fictional building is that Dias and the glass dome. As my scribbles say the Dias is on a sort of like magic pulley system? It is hooked up to a loop up in the glass dome and then twists back down to a side where the Rope/Chain/whatever is stored when the thing is pulled up, idk that’s a lot of specifics that I might not specifically know but the essentials are that the Dias can move up closer to the Glass dome to view birds more easily; also to get away from annoying people who keep storming in while you try to do your job :3

As I said a couple times, it is not actually historically accurate to any Auguraculum I could find, however I think it looks nice and it’s a good setting for stuff and it gets rid of the stupid temple hill-

But uh, yeah sorry this is so short lol. I really like the design I finished with, also for all purposes of saving my hand and fine liner; I made the columns Doric, know that in actual like everything they would be Corinthian columns (the ones that look like they have leaves). The Auguraculum is also very close to the Principa, and it still has the stones where the prophecies are carved in. They’re on the Dias and quite possibly are being carved into the tiles beyond that. Uh also there’s a lot of plants and drapery and fabrics on the ceilings; partially to hide the whole pulley stuff, partially just because it looks cool.

Uh, okay. It’s really cold and I’m shaking right now but I have to go memorize my lines, also sorry there is no finished-finished art but I’ve been in a digital art ‘slump?’ As of late, I’m figuring it out. (Also I’m running out of pages in my sketchbook-)
