PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The story of Hephaestus shows us that it doesn't matter if you're lame, as long as the right leg works. ;) 110
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I found these photos of Roman coins dedicated to Libertas, in case you ever want to draw her as an adult. ;) 120
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Every time you credit me for the information I share with you. Thank you. 120
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Well, come on. Someone might simply not be familiar with a particular tradition and therefore ask for the source. Eris and Bellona being the daughters of Zeus and Hera isn't exactly common knowledge. Partly because that tradition stems from their epithet "sisters of Ares/Mars." 000
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Enyo/Bellona and Eris are described as sisters of Ares/Mars. Being defined as sisters of Ares implies that they share at least Zeus as a parent; given that they are specifically his sisters, this can be interpreted to mean that Hera is their mother as well. 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/10/2026In reality, Nerio does not have parents. I point this out because some translations of *The Marriage of Mercury and Philology* render the text strangely, describing Nerio as the daughter of Nereus. In fact, the text does not say this; it applies the epithet "beloved spouse of Nerio" to Mars. 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And Vulcan, Lucina, and Juventa. That is how Hera from Blood of Zeus became Juno. 030
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 03/10/2026ZEUS: I want to be honest with you: I will not be faithful to you. HERA BOZ: I know, but at least you love Hera more than any other woman. My Zeus preferred a mortal woman to me. ZEUS: Really? What an idiot. HERA BOZ: I’ve lost my children. ZEUS: We’ll fix that right away. 140
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Believe me, I wanted to suggest that you draw Hera from Blood of Zeus meeting your version of Zeus and finally finding a husband who loves her. She deserves a happy ending. Maybe she'll even make friends with your Hera. 😉 132
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It has happened on several occasions that friends have had to take me home when I was drunk. 120
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Due to other commitments, I forgot to comment on the latest works, so: The daughters Aglaia had with Hephaestus. Hephaestus and Helios as friends. Other lovers Hephaestus has had (hmm, Aetna's breasts resting against his pecs). It's really fantastic. 130
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 29/09/2026What I like about her rebuke of Ares in the Thebaid is that her words could be interpreted to mean she still loves both of them. Honestly, I wish modern adaptations would take inspiration from the versions where Aphrodite is involved with both Hephaestus and Ares. 110
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This dialogue takes place in the *Thebaid*. Zeus tasks Ares with inciting the war between Argos and Thebes, and Aphrodite reproaches him because Thebes is the home of their daughter Harmonia. He tells her that Hephaestus would not have remained unmoved by her grief, unlike her. 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 21/09/2026There are far more sources describing Aphrodite as the daughter of Zeus and Dione than those depicting her as born from Uranus (in some cases, Uranus is not even involved; she simply emerges from the sea). In the *Iliad*, Dione appears to comfort Aphrodite after Diomedes wounds her. 120
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I’ve always wanted this depiction of Zeus and Demeter. You’re my hero. 💚 120
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 16/09/2026But now, after seeing the three Charites, we are curious to see their mother, Eurynome. ;) 110
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Mars and Athena are my ship. ❤️🩶 What's more, in Roman myths, Mars is truly in love with Minerva but cannot marry her. However, we know from certain authors that Minerva was identified with Nerio, one of Mars's wives. 130
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 11/09/2026This morning, I’m starting the usual boring workday. Then I get this image of my ship, and I have this reaction. 131
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Jupiter: Asshole. I'm telling my daughter Minerva. Minerva: 020
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 23/08/2026We have little information about Despina. What little we do know is that she was involved in the Eleusinian Mysteries and was sometimes viewed as another name for Persephone. We can imagine so. :) 120
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I would also like to add that you’ve done an excellent job with Artemide. It’s a clear improvement over the initial design. 130
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I like the detail that Athena looks more mature than them. 030
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Or else they are fixated on the trio of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite regarding the famous Judgment of Paris. 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 18/08/2026PERSEPHONE: I heard you like Eileithyia. ARTEMIS: Shut up! ATHENA: What? Really? PERSEPHONE: Yes. Yesterday, Hera and Leto had a heated argument. ARTEMIS: Persephone, I warn you, shut up! PERSEPHONE: "Tell your daughter to stay away from mine," they shouted furiously. 230

PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The lame blacksmith has taken two wives, leaving the twinks Apollo and Hermes green with envy. 230
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 14/08/2026All these descriptions make it clear that, apart from his limp, Hephaestus is not only not ugly but is also very muscular and virile. 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Homer, Iliad 18. 136 Then with a sponge he wiped clean his forehead, and both hands, and his massive neck and hairy chest, and put on a tunic, and took up a heavy stick in his hand, and went to the doorway limping. 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Cicero, De Natura Deorum 1. 24 At Athens there is a much-praised statue of Volcanus by Alcamenes, a standing figure, draped, which displays a slight lameness, though not enough to be unsightly. 050
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 14/08/2026It’s so nice to find art of Hephaestus that doesn’t depict him as ugly or show him hating his mother. 😭 140
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Good heavens, Aphrodite's mother is in danger of overshadowing her daughter. 140
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 09/08/2026It’s fantastic that you included the detail of the key with which Janus was depicted. Excellent work. ❤️❤️❤️ 130
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I meant to write "Bellona says: two are better than one!", referring to the fact that she's with both Mars and Ares. I don't know why autocorrect changed the name. DX And let's not forget the MILF Anna Perenna 🤭 010
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I'm speechless! It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful! I want more! ❤️❤️❤️ 130
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Helios and Hephaestus. People often overlook the fact that the two are great friends. 030
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Athena, Artemis, and Persephone. Damn, that’s such an underrated trio, yet there are several stories about their friendship. Zeus, Hera, and Mars (I know, you’ve drawn plenty of Zeus/Hera pairings, but it’s time to show that there are versions where Zeus appreciates the children he had with Hera). 020
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Hephaestus and Hera reuniting after his return to Olympus. Zeus and Janus (I imagine them having a heated political discussion XD). Poseidon playing with the infant Apollo (in the Metamorphoses, it's said that Poseidon considers Apollo his favorite grandson). 020
PlanNo @kiryu-1.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I was about to write this under the post where you ask which ship we’d like to see, but I’ll write it here instead: it would be nice to have more scenes showing friendship or family dynamics among the gods. Some proposals (I have to double-post due to the 300-character limit): 330
