A small LO painel redraw ( i'm not a LO fan)
The original painel:
Troilus design! (ft best dad Apollo) He's around 12 years old here.
Researching Troilus' story is not an easy task because unfortunately most of the ancient texts focused on him didn't survive and others only survived in fragments.
This story is brutal even for greek mythology standards so please keep that in mind if you want to continue reading this or do more research on your own.
Something that all of the versions seems to agree on is that he was a Trojan prince, son of queen Hecuba and was killed by Achilles. His father was either Apollo or Priam (Apollo fits more with the context of the story though).
Most of the versions also focus on Troilus' young age and he's often shown to be visibly shorter than Achilles on the vase paintings depicting his death.
The most popular version of the myth (which is also supported by ancient vase paintings) states that Troilus and his sister Polyxena (she's not preset in every version though) went outside of Troy on their horses and while they were at a fountain Achilles ambushed them.
Achilles then chased Troilus who tried to hide inside of Apollo's temple (possibly seeking his father's protection) but Achilles caught up to him and murdered Troilus either inside or in front of the temple and then brutally mutilated his body.
There 2 alternative reasons given for the murder:
1. There was a prophecy which said that if Troilus reached 21 years of age Troy would never fall.
2. Achilles fell in love with Troilus, tried to force himself on him and was enraged when the boy refused his advances. (This version seems to have more surviving evidence)
It could also be that the only reason that Achilles killed Troilus was the fact that he was a Trojan prince and therefore an enemy but this does not seem to fit with the brutality of the act.
Here are some vase paintings that show Troilus' death at the hands of Achilles
Ok… I ship it
Someone has very specific...tastes🧐

I just love Seraph so fricking much
Seraph: Look, I think it’s only fair to warn you that I’m practiced in the ancient art of… origami!
Isadora: Paper folding?
Seraph: Oh, I was hoping you wouldn’t know what that was.
If you see twitter refugees trying to stir up dumb drama like they would on twitter don't interact with their post
They're from twitter where people yelling at you to stfu means they're doing something right because their post is getting engagement, because people are giving them a reaction
If you don't want the same nothing-burger discourse posts here then all you need to do is ignore them, once they realise they don't get notes from it they'll stop posting about it
You can ask for things related to my Olympus Au, gods from others religions, Epic: The musical, ocs…
Yeah yeah, kuja-born crocodile ex-empress crocodile. we've all seen it.
But what if. what if. luffy is crocodiles kid. specifically luffy is a trans girl or agender.
hancock is his aunt in this and she's obsessed with her favourite little cute niece who will grow up and be a great warrior who should definitelly join the kuja pirates instead of being a strawhat
luffy still uses he/him but also any pronouns maybe. idk. i just dont think luffy would care
and anyways granny nyon would be like "'holy shit at this moment the best candidate for the empress after hancock retires eventually is. luffy. we cannot let that happen. amazon lily would not survive that." (if crowned empress, luffy would probably get bored of the responsibility and leave anyways, or not even accept the title in the first place, but the fear. the fear of the possibility reaches deep into gloriosas bones)
EDIT: so anyways i wrote it https://archiveofourown.org/works/49726858
There's a sketch o Eros and Psique i hope to finnish one day
The legend says that a young warrior fell in love for the wife of the chief of the tribe.
Since it was a forbidden love, he couldn’t approach her. Therefore, he prayed for the god Tupã to turn him into a bird. Tupã turned him into a red, yellow and black bird with a beautiful chant.
The chief of the tribe was the first to hear the wonderful chant of that bird. He was so fascinated that came to follow the bird to imprison him and have its chant just for his own delight. In eager to capture the bird, the chief got lost in the woods.

i need a fic like this on Ao3 right now
AU where Arcturus raises Fletcher after his parents are killed by the orcs. Being a close friend of Edmund and Alice, Arcturus is the only one that Sir Caulder trusts with his young lord, because he wouldn’t have known about the secret mountain passage (as he hadn’t grown up a noble) and so couldn’t have betrayed them!
He knows that he’s the only family Fletcher has left and that if he were to die, his beautiful boy would be left all on his own, so he doesn’t go after the orcs that had killed Edmund and Alice, and consequently doesn’t end up losing his right eye or getting his scar.
Arcturus takes up a permanent teaching position at Vocans, doing administrative work, and making sure Fletcher grows up knowing how much his parents had adored him and each other. He becomes the steward of the Raleigh properties and fortunes, helping manage everything until Fletcher is old enough to do it himself, and hiring countless tutors to make sure Fletcher knows all his duties and responsibilities.
And after decades of searching, Arcturus finally finds the family he’s always yearned for in the form of the son of two of the people he had loved most in the world.
