Octavians Belt Situation

Octavian’s belt situation

Okay! Uh, instead of working more on another gods foresaken map post (I swear-) instead of doing. That to myself more I found it much more interesting to think about Octavian’s plushie belt situation.

Octavian cannonically has a belt that goes over his toga/just over his clothing to store his dagger, the stuffies; etc.

I’d like to propose the: Octavian Belt item placement hc! Because that’s what it’s come to, anyways

The belt itself,

So; I have drawings (oh of course I have drawings) but I’d also like to explain. The belt itself is probably something like nemean lion hide leather, something that’d be expensive in the demigod world that stupid rich family of Octavian probably would get. It’s one of those like snap buckle(?) belts? The same type of buckle they hand you on like, amusement park rides (the ones that are like? Google is calling them side release buckles) but those. It’s for ease of like everything, so he can slip off his toga or slip off the belt quickly.

But anyways, here are my super duper cool accurate diagrams

Front is left; back is right. I drew these quickly so I apologize, but it gives the roughest of rough breakdowns. In my idea this is like a rough idea of what it could look like?

To his right would be three stuffed animals of anything really? There’s little loops (that I accidentally colored wrong-) that ribbon or rope or thread could be run through to tie the stuffed animals to the belt. I chose ribbon for the drawing because (I like bows) I just wanted to have some fun. To the back would be one of those like belt pouches (I have one and they’re so fun-) and it probably holds stuff like gum, those the alcohol wipes you use once you get a cut(?) and like emergency tiny spool of thread and some needles. Then we get to the sheath for his dagger and, I have no idea how that would be properly strapped in, but for the reasons of the concept sketch it’s simply just like; wrapped together. Finally is the hand sanitizer; my boy can’t do thinking about getting sick or dirty things in general, totally carries some really quick disinfecting stuff on him.

Okay this was a random post but I hope if was super fun; I am going to go to be now so I hope all a good night!

My feet hurt so much and our director said that I needed boots instead of Character shoes so I need boots now and we had to go re-do human again twice at rehearsal so I had to sing my entire solo back to back twice with no mic and still get the director to hear me because backstage was our Costumer finnicking with the costumes and now we have to aaaaaaaa-

I love theatre, I love this production. But my feet hurt and my jaw is a little sore from singing the freaking Cogsworth stuff (I still project without a mic but it’s me having to project over our entire other 30+ members backstage) and I’m going to have to try and snag a recording of me doing it at some other point. But uh, aside from that.

There will be a rough first draft of the SoN Re-imagining- Chapter 3; down with the pillow pet. Out, I just have to finish writing it on paper before translating it here, aaaannd I really wanted to draw one of my mutuals Ocs so uh, that will be super duper soon!!!

I drew art! Guys I did the thing. Well- I’m in the ever perpetual process of doing the thing but uhhhh,

It’s Mercury and Octavian :3. I’ve affectionately started calling them the Gaea duo and it was a little unintentional to make them together but uhhhh. Yeah! Soon I’ll get maybe Michael and Dakota done, we’ll see. I also have a little comic panel piece for a SoN scene in the works but hhhhhhh-

Also the Octavian one is… probably gonna be re-worked? I like having these pictures as a way to reference my designs for the characters (the Larry one I drew way back when is great). But I’m still working out how I want Octavian to Octavian so uh- yeah. Maybe his siblings will get something one day, like names.

Also tomorrow marks the day I’m forcing myself to sit down and read through the Dark prophecy (as much as I can get through, hopefully all of it because I know I can finish that book in a day *I did it with SoN and tLT to what’s one more?*) and that means Lit stuff.

I love the silly goofy goober. Also maybe Oracle things? The setup for things like Dadonna was interesting and maybe possibly I’ll try my hand at our villains for this arc (I don’t know but ToA Nero has a HOLD on me. Purely just for how silly goofy in the worst way but he like ahfoaksnejak- so excited to see Caligula and Commodus :3)

Or I’ll give up everything and then there will be probably Harley something. Or stuff about the Augurculanum because Octavian so deserved to have one and it’s so weird that he didn’t like omg-

Annabeth and Camp Jupiter; Years of service and stuff

I was drawing a silly little comic that had Annabeth in it, and while drawing Annabeth I realized something,

By HoO Annabeth has ten camp beads. She has been at camp for the same amount of time any Camp Jupiter kid who didn’t opt to stay a little longer has. While that may seem like a random detail, it could’ve been such a like- thing?

That Annabeth. The daughter of Athena, direct like force that would drive the Romans and Greeks to war once more, has essentially had her full service to her own camp. Could we have gotten parallels between her and other Camp Jupiter kids who had been full term; perhaps other characters begrudgingly respecting her because in their eyes and their own minds she’s already done all her training. Could we have gotten a different silly little interaction between people like Reyna, or Octavian due to the fact she’d been at Camp for so long? Even if it was small like deferring to her as leader, give Annabeth some pause and stutter with her hubris flaw or whatever.

Uhh anyway, all of that to say that Annabeth and legionnaire parallels are silly and if I was more interested in Annabeth I’d love to do stuff with that but sadly I am not. But it’d be a good look at how the legion defers to power and experience and maybe I’ll bring it up again someday. Oh well, we’ll see lol

I listened to the full Ulysses dies at dawn soundtrack for the first time and it was amazing.

I was also listening to it while our teacher let us listen to music and study for a math thing so that might’ve shifted my perspective on the whole thing.

But my favorite character was Oedipus, I really like his song. Also Heracles’s song is pretty good, I liked Orpheus’s like fluttering vocals.

Uh, but big things are coming up. I just need the motivation to write in Percy PoV so for the time being there will probably be like. More random stuff lol-?

I’m not dead-!

I might be but- I am alive! And being alive means there’s going to be a new installment into the Camp Jupiter map saga. Hopefully the end? There’ll be more like building detail and stuff(??)

Also I’d like to impart the knowledge that Camp Jupiter totally has one of those things that freeze dries stuff and they’re feral for it.

Jason actively shattered every last one of his brackets when he had braces just for that thing. T’was him and Reyna watching it dry out like (insert one of the millions of candies dentists tell you not to eat while you have braces because apparently everything is fatal to them and you will implode if you eat something that crunches or chews or anything-) and sitting there like, “it’s not sticky so this’ll be fine.” And then being terrified after they hear the snap in Jason’s mouth or whatever it sounds like when you wreck a bracket.

Also Legionnaires do get physicals. There’s probably a whole week dedicated to groups slowly shuffling out to see Doctors from New Rome and dentists. Okay that is all.

(I want freeze dried candy right now. Also chips.)

Also Octavian, more Octavian posts. Maybe a rough draft-overview thing for his arc in the re-imagined? Or maybe I’ll finally get around to the PJO power scaling stuff now that I’ve had to read about how special Meg is for her powers despite like Piper and Bryce Lawerence just like; sitting there? Idk I’ll get to it.

(Also I love the emperors so much- Commodus is so hehhehehe. Excited to see Caligula. Aaaaa okay I’ll shut up now-)
