Every few years, I redraw Thalia Grace because shes so cool and also a good parameter to see my growth as an artist. Well, the 21st just passed, which is her birthday and also when I try to have the drawing done by, so here we are! My 2023 Thalia Grace interpretation, followed by my previous iterations from as early as 2007 :)
Relistening to stolen century hurts every time. Idk what kind of magic griffin weaved into it, but no matter how many times I relisten it still hits just as hard. Like, huh, it's all about love, isn't it? It's about trying your best, about trying to protect your family, about fucking up and trying to fix it. It's about "I love you" and "I'm sorry" and "it'll be harder if you remember me" and "you die, but it's okay because you know they made it". It's about starting again and again, about questioning your morals, about doing your best, about learning to lean on people, about having that taken away from you. Its about feeling love and trust and pain without knowing their target. That's life, isn't it? I need to lie down.
I haven’t posted art on here much lately, but I was served @literallyjusttoa ‘s headcanons and fanart (love the Polldona, art of that likely coming soon) and I knew I had to share my AU of Apollo, Dionysus, and Hermes being a post civil war traveling Vaudeville troupe. This AU has been a pillar of my mental health this past semester in university, so I sincerely hope anyone out there enjoys them as much as I enjoyed drawing them.
Dynamic:
Apollo is a classically trained ballerina from Paris who flees to the US to trans his gender and start a new life. Guarded, hesitant to trust, passionate about all things art and music. Apollo writes the scripts and performs the musical accompaniment during shows. Takes performance and himself incredibly seriously.
Dionysus is a washed up stage magician turned front-man of the show. He always has a giant suitcase bursting to the seams with costumes and disguises, to the point where nobody is really certain that his day to day appearance is what he even actually looks like. He’s charismatic, reckless, bombastic, and the crowd loves him. Also is usually drunk.
Hermes is the behind the scenes man, handling all the business transactions and transportation. Has a history of being a snake-oil salesman, so he knows how to con a whole town and be two states away before they even realize. He’s a gentle giant, speaks deliberately, and almost always comes off to people as unmistakably trustworthy. Gives surprisingly good advice.
The scoundrels all together hehe
absolutely losing my mind over this not surprised fully just that he said it ??? HUGH????
again...... hyughhh gra t,.... said that
i know we say "nothing could have prepared me for what i was about to hear" a lot but let me tell you, nothing could have prepared me for what i was about to hear
Girl help I can’t stop buying little treats that amount to a great expense in the long run

i get nervous when my battery drops lower than 70% and i think that says a lot about the kind of person i am
ghost choir 👻 🎵
I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING COULD TOP GHOST DUET
I WAS WRONG
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO BE WRONG IN ALL MY LIFE
I’m soothed
I have actual tears what the fuck is this
why is this so funny
Screaming
Had the thought that Apollo could've turned into a deertaur while raising Chiron and immediately had to draw it.
Another drawing based off of the headcanons I just posted about, plus I didn't add Artemis to the last piece and that was a crime.
+ A messy doodle on how Chiron joined the family
Enemies beware, and keep in mind,
You have angered the son of Leto,
Legacy of Koios and Phoibe,
Heavenly light of Olympus.
Do not be surprised when the piercing wails of prophecy,
Call on Αpollon to cut your life short,
With the sharpened edge of a golden arrow.
i always mean it when i say i love you btw
‘but thats a stranger you dont know’ and i love them. i love that they exist and i love that they passed through my life. and i love u too btw
reblog to tell your mutuals you love them for existing
sometimes u go on google searching for a reference image and you just find something that is totally not what you are looking for but is better than anything u could have ever dreamed
who is she
the moment I saw this woman I was completely overcome with the feeling that she was, at that very moment, somehow divorcing me
i mean this so seriously if you have any sort of creative project you can and should be a little obsessed with it. you should reread your own writing and look at your own art and brag about your ocs its literally good for your health
This recently came across my timeline on Twitter ala @coelasquid and it’s too good not to include.
