I wanted to make some new characters. Helios is a demon who stole his name from the god as a way to mock them. He also stole his wings from an angel.

Literally in the first episode of Fantasy High, I watched an arguement that I had several times with my conservative uncles. It boils down to “According to the main message of your faith, our Divinity accepts everyone who is good of heart and kind - hating people for any reason is antithetical.” Kristen was arguing positive points using her faith as a guide

Which like - im not a christian or religious anymore (raised southern baptists and decided that if God exists he’s cruel) but the immediate writing off of everyone who’s part of a Main Stream Religion as Problematic really pisses me off, ya know?

Like sure, Wolfsong has waterslides and snowball fight and a lot of entertainement during a major holiday and then everyone is trying to figure out how they’re evil ehen they’re just having fun. Hey, my former church (Prestonwood Baptist Church and Benttree Community church in Dallas Texas) i have met so may deeply devout and scripture oriented people who are so incredibly loving and giving that they are leagues above anyone else I know, and for Good Friday they still had a wayer slide cause that shit is fun. Some of the most hateful people I know ALSO use religion as an excuse.

I get that organized Religion can house a lot of hate and evil (im writing my thesis on American Fascism and evangelical faith is a big part) but so many people who are Religious are just good people? Like the basic morals of the Torah+Talmund, the Bible and the Qur’an are really positive? Half the catholic church is socialist?

It just speaks to the religious illiteracy in America. Helio isn’t bad - the racist worshippers who through ‘as above so below’ influence their god ARE bad. Brennan says the Harvestmen are a fringe Minority - newsflash, the KKK is a christian group and the majority of christians reject them and find their message to be a spit in the face to Jesus. Why would it be different in Fantasy High if its supposed to be a commentary? I think Helio chose Kristen because he wanted her to free him from the racist status quo (he was giving her spells for all of freshman year supporting her against Sol up until Spring break if not beyond)

I need to kiss that twink, carnally

Another Helioverse Lust demon for GabeTheDeadFish! This one, Alraewe, was a lil tricky, being very humanoid in both body and face (not to mention the angle I went for on the latter), but I had a blast with it.

Please excuse my hyper fixation on this boy. I'm like a kid who got a new toy, so it's all I want to play with now lol

Anyway, here's chibi Helios 🥰

"Well, I am my father's child."

I’m so glad Buddy Dawn is getting to see what real combat looks like. Even if it only lasts through one or two waves of monsters before getting a little dicey, I think it’s incredible.

Imagine the majority of your adventuring experience at this school being Stomping Rats then seeing then most popular kids in school absolutely devastate monsters you’ve never seen before on their reactions. And when they finally attack?

The goblin who is literally in every single extra-curricular and looks one more piece of bad news away from just disintegrating badly injures a creature then disengages.

Then the guy who threw the best first party of the year of all time - who has a neck tattoo and a demon motorcycle - gets bit by his desk, answers an exam question, then slices up a hydra. His motorcycle turns into a dog and kills the hydra. They both take a bow.

The Archdevil of Rebellion, a Bard-Warlock-Paladin who went to her own class for the first time ever months prior and is currently disguised as the proctor, Fireballs just so many creatures, leaving two baby jellies. She also curses a gorgon.

The kid who multiclassed where no one had ever multiclassed before throws his axe so hard that it changes the gravitational pull, does a ridiculous amount of damage, and knocks this bull prone.

St. Kristen Applebees, Helio’s Chosen One who is on her third deity, immediately destroys eight skeletons after praying to her basically dead goddess.

The Elven Oracle hasn’t even had a turn yet.

If this doesn’t convince him and the Rat Grinders that the Bad Kids have earned their status, I don’t know what will.

Demon Helios how are you so tall?

billy wise I hate you and I hate your little bokuchins and your little oiras. I will kill you

I've decided to post something from a set of notes I've been writing on the Greek Magical Papyri, because I think it contains something of a clue regarding my inquiry on the PGM and the "demonic".

PGM III. 494-611 is a spell meant to allow a magician to establish a relationship with the god Helios. Over twelve hours Helios appears in numerous different forms and produces different kinds of trees and stones and goes by different names. On the twelfth hour, Helios goes by the name Adonai, one of the names of the God of Judaism. By speaking all the signs and symbols, Helios can be adjured to perform certain deeds, lest the magician “shake heaven”. The interesting thing here is that Helios, the same deity who is addressed as the image of the whole universe, could conceivably be compelled by a magician threatening the order of heaven to do their bidding. But there is another twist to this as well. In the spell the magician says the following:

“Do the NN deed for me, the one who keeps the keys of the triangular paradise of earth, which is the kingdom. Do the NN deed for me, the fatherless child of an honoured widow, BOIATHYRITH, lest they take away from me the lord's fatherland and so that all I good things happen by command, PHOKENGEPSEUARETATHOUMISONKTAIKT MASKELLI MASKELLO PHNOUNKENTABAO AORIO ZAGRA RESICHTHON HIPPOCHTHON PYROSPARIPEGANYX KAILAM IALMIO LILIMOULBALABABNEREDEMOU.”

Betz notes that, according to Karl Preisendanz, the widow that the spell refers to is the goddess Isis, whose son is Horus, who was sometimes believed to be the product of parthenogenesis by Isis. If that is true, then the magician is adjuring Helios while identifying as Horus. This has many practical implications. On the one hand, it suggests that Helios is in this spell meant to be understood as Ra, or the Greek god Helios is here influenced by Egyptian conceptions of Ra, or the Egyptian god Ra is being interpreted as Helios by Greek authors. In Egyptian myth, Ra is forced by Isis to reveal his secret name, while in Egyptian magical texts Isis threatens to stop the course of the sun in the sky unless Ra “cures” Horus of some ailment. On the other hand, it also suggests a certain concord with what Stephen Skinner suggests is Iamblichus’ conception of the demonic. According to Skinner, Iamblichus describes a kind of spiritual creature that does not know truth from falsehood, can be stirred up when threats are brandished, and can be led by appearances. Skinner supposes that this idea is reflected in the grimoire tradition and in the Lesser Key of Solomon, such as in the examples of the invocation of spirits such as Shax or Beleth. When reading On the Mysteries of the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians, it is obvious that Iamblichus would have regarded the rites of the PGM as stupid and blasphemous, because he objected that the gods and the celestial objects could never be threatened in any way by any magician. But if that’s the case, per Iamblichus, if any being could be compelled in such a way, it would have to be a demon. But then the PGM still regards these beings as gods, while also sometimes referring to them as daimons. This is thus what makes the PGM so strange and unique, wherein the line between god and demon often seems to be incredibly ambiguous, and where the magician can, by performing certain rites correctly, compel the gods and daimons to perform their will, often by ritually taking on the identities of other gods.
