Hey! Hope everyone had an amazing time celebrating the holidays, with all your family and loved ones!✨✨
After watching Avatar The Way Of Water I’m so inspired, and since this is the season dedicated to family, I decided to end my previous collection of Dilla, Caleb and their beloved little Kai with our Avatar AU!
Kai’s birth was a difficult one, but worth every struggle <3

Because sometimes the smallest thing can be mighty ✨️ and the biggest thing feels small compared to this result! 😇🥰
A beautiful new family!
Human Caleb X na'vi Dilla doodles for our Avatar AU, wanted to draw some romantic intimacy between them without Caleb being in his avatar for a change 💙💙
the last one is rather random and cheesy, but I had the idea that since they can't bond in Tsaheylu here, Caleb puts Dilla's queue against his chest so she can feel his heartbeat instead 💙
Another sweet image done by @artsofmetamoor and some really creative ideas for our couple!
With the news for the release of the new Avatar comic series “The
Next Shadow” my mind went back to the Avatar AU, and I couldn’t get this
image out of my head of human Caleb taking off his exomask in a bold
move to kiss Na'vi Dilla 💙
He’ll probably forget he needs to breathe and end up gasping for air while poor frantic Dilla tries to shove the mask back into his dumb face. He’ll probably also ask for more right after XDD

katerinaaqu asked:
Now that you are more and more introduced to Greek mythology and the Roman counterparts, which part of the world mentioned in Greek mythology would you like to visit and why?
pelideswhore answered:
hmm i think Olympus would be the standard answer and for me Ancient Troy would be the obvious answer. other than that, honestly any kingdom/palace in the bronze age, specifically Ithaca, Sparta, Mycenae or Pthia
I understand. I have been to Olympus a couple of times and it is a great place to have a walk in nature. I recommend it for a daily excursion if you are around eastern Greece. I’ve never been to turkey to visit the known location of Troy but I have heard great things of the sight.
Now Ithaca is definitely a place I wanna visit myself one day because it is a pretty green island one can relax to. Sparta is a big city you can do plenty of things there but museums and sights are definitely worth it. Mycenae is absolutely impressive palace to visit simple and yet the mere size of it is breathtaking.
One of my personal favorite sites I would visit again and again would be Delphi sanctuary that is mentioned both in mythology and history. It is impressive and is almost hanging from that huge set of rocks and mountains. Ancient Olympeia is impressive too but for now Delphi is probably one of my top favorite to visit and I definitely recommend it
katerinaaqu asked:
Sooo here's another one; seeing your other post about Outis and the maneuver and such and the correlation between olive tree and Odysseus here is something;
Olive tree and Greeks in general or Odysseus in particular seem to have a strong bond. Which correlation of olive tree and Odysseus would you consider the most impactful to you and why? (Anything is valid obviously; epicness emotion symbolism etc.)
pelideswhore answered:
well, considering the fact that i named my OdyPen fic ‘olive tree’ i think it’s fair to say that i have maNY thoughts on the topic
for me, the most important meaning of the olive tree (for odysseus) is love, which is especially special when put opposite of its general meaning (wisdom)
for example when he blinds polyphemus, his drive is love. but my favourite olive tree feature is the bed (what else lmao), especially the moment when odysseus asks penelope, despairing, if she let a stranger man tear out the roots of the tree — he’s asking if a strange man has torn out the roots of their love. the fact that it’s their marriage bed just makes it that much better.
I can imagine indeed!
Oh that is a very good outtake. Olive tree has many meanings indeed and one of them is eternity due to the perennial nature of the tree so love is also one of the ideas one can get from it. I agree.
Indeed the Polyphemus incident one can definitely analyze it as an act of love. His love for home for starters for his wife and child he longs to see and of course the love for his comrades (both living and fallen ones). One can definitely say that. This is a very good analysis.
Oh same! The bed is absolutely the most iconic to me as well. For starters I agree. Odysseus doesn’t simply respond with “that’s impossible” when Penelope tells her servants to “make the bed outside the chamber” but he is in shock and almost in fear that “how is it possible? Did anyone uproot the tree?” Because the tree was alive and rooted. He even describes with how much love he carved it with his own hands. The roots were tye symbol of his roots to his homeland and his love for his wife. The very idea of it being uprooted seems indeed to be like someone severing his bond with those two things he loved so much.
The olive tree was the symbol of his eternal love and bond to his homeland and yes the fact that it was for the marriage bed makes that symbolism even stronger in that aspect. Olive is also a symbol of peace and truce which is what Odysseus will try to form after the murder of the suitors. Is also a symbol of victory (Olympic games had a crown of wild olive as a price) so it is also Odysseus winning against all odds and coming back where his roots sprout; to his homeland and family
