i ordered food from a movie theatre ‘cause they had cotton candy. I am going to try and sort some stuff out. again. completely beginning tonight with an intent to sort out a basic start to a timeline and maybe some base character traits to spin off of. (sometimes I don’t even keep the initial trait it’s just like a concept to start with.) try and figure out a vague timeline I can bullshit because... Ares is Dionysus’ great grandfather and Hermes was basically his babysitter and Apollo is older than Hermes and like how far do we go to bring in the like... concepts. The fates and children of Zeus that have fewer stories but are concepts and things that happen. Do I want to visually define the Titans from the Olympians? often they’re depicted bigger but also some of them get together with Olympians without question.... idk. there’s so much like....... history before Dionysus was born that sometimes it’s like ‘okay but then how do I explain the whole history of zeus and stuff???’ but I think I’ll slowly have Dionysus figure it out, that’s the most natural way for a story to work...

But I also want to work in stories of other gods ‘cause they are all super interesting so probably I can work stuff in like Apollo talking about Hyacinthus or Eros and Psyche fitting in.. plus since I’m taking liberties I can do stuff like have other myths that should have happened earlier happening at the same time @_@;;;; like during Dionysus’ journey somewhere in the background the labours of Heracles are going on... Since Perseus and Theseus affect Dionysus’ life I have to figure out how to fold them in and I get to consider doing horrible things to their bones. I have to.... figure out how to deal with Nycaea somehow and it might end up being another case of Eros being of an entirely chaotic neutral energy. it is written that Eros hits him with the arrow. I know there’s a lot of stuff that I could just write off or write out, but I’d like to see if there’s a way to make it work first... I’m gonna at least put down my thoughts if I can’t motivate myself to start drawing. Maybe collecting some references. I’m spending tonight indulgently reading articles on theoi and thinking about how I can definitely not host something this gory, incestuous or full of sexual violence as this on like.... fucking webtoon. (I do appreciate hosting sites like this for having a catalogue of titles I can find and it does a lot, buuuuuut I want to be an edgelord. also good lord, could you imagine trying to make a greek myth webtoon right now? I am not competing with that aesthetic. that art style was the smartest fucking thing to hit webcomics in ages. like it or not it catches your eye and that can be more than enough. I’m not capable of an art style that pops that much nor do I want that general an audience.
