If Anyone Needs Me I'll Be In The Corner Making Tales From Cazilor OCs. So Far The Squad Name Is The

If anyone needs me I'll be in the corner making Tales From Cazilor OCs. So far the squad name is the Midnight Ravens, and I have Calendula (Blessed, Anchor), Veila (Stalwart), and Adriel (PSK, Climber). Yes, they have playlists. Yes, I'm working on art.

Yes, I'm hoping to GOD I won't have to change a bunch of shit after the sourcebook comes out because I'm making them based off of the sprinklings of worldbuilding we've gotten from the album and TGE.

I have a lot of creative energy built up, and apparently this is the project my brain has focused me on, so...

The sorcerous Melinoë gazes with intensity toward her goal - and the audience! She's determined, focused, and powerful. Hecate, Melinoë's mentor, can be seen in the distance wielding her torches and gazing towards the moon. Standing on the precipice of the Crossroads with back turned, she is flanked by her trusty familiars, a hound and a polecat.

I love the way everyone treats Melinoe in Hades 2, but it also feels VERY accurate for toxic family relationships.

The older kids (Zagreus in this case) get the worst of it, and are often treated with either disdain or ignored (even Homer refers to him as “the lazy prince” or “the blundering prince” and so on). Of course Zagreus fixes the family, after dealing with everyone’s seemingly inherent disdain and anger at his existence and time (ha) goes on…

And then we get to the younger sibling, Melinoe, and she’s the light of everyone’s life. Even Homer narrates her differently - with more a positive spin, awe almost.

Love it, so many layers to it. She’ll never know the disdain everyone had for Zagreus - and that must be bittersweet for him.

To Melinoë.

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this
