I Did Not Use Vibe Correctly - Tumblr Posts

Okay! Okay- Octavian’s design and the ideas I have for that are always fun and may I present this concept;

Octavian totally feels like a person to wear two belts. I’d like to say that possibly Octavians stuffed animal belt is more closer to the scale of tool belt from belt-belt? It kinda vibes there while he’s wearing his toga or whatever. I’d like to introduce the idea that he possibly wears his cingulum. Or specifically an altered form of Cingulum.

Cingulum for reference are the ‘belts’(?) worn by Roman legionnaires; these guys,

Specifically a variant or his own like usual one without the Pensilla (those hanging parts) for ease and casual stuff, more similar to the left photo. The options I showed here have the little metal plates that set them aside from the usual Cingulum you can see that doesn’t. I believe that’s because of like, Centurion ranking stuff? I don’t quite know and my google is being super slow on website loading so I can’t really skim articles-

Okay anyway; proposing that this is Octavian’s main go to day to day belt. It’s his status, his pride as a Roman shown off even when he’s in relatively classic attire, it shows off that he is a Centuiron and is important (also you could attach the dagger sheath on here too for instances where Octavian wouldn’t have the plushie belt) while speaking of the plushy belt. That acting like an over-layer where he can hold and grab stuff easily while not crowding up his belt-belt

Then again that’s just a concept and my idea as to the belt thing.

(Also this probably is a bit random but I feel like the tool belt is 1) more loose than his belt-belt due to the fact it has to be over his toga that’s probably a more classical wool. Which I think it’s bulky? I don’t quite know but I feel safe enough to assume so. Along with that it probably just sits tight enough to stay on over said toga, so it doesn’t mess up how the said toga is placed *For reference it probably sits like mid stomach to bottom of the belly button in my head.*)

Okay I’ve been ranting but something something- Octavian has really interesting character design choices and it’s always super fun to try and decipher how they vibe.

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!
