ASCLEPIUS

~Greek God of Medicine, Healing, Rejuvenation, and Physicians~

Asclepius was said to the son of  Apollo himself or in some stories Apollo and Coronis or Arsinoe. He's said to be married to Epione. He represents the Healing aspect of medicine. Originally named Hepius he was given his new name Asclepius when he cured Ascles of a previously incurable eye ailment.

He was said to have been taught medicine by a mix of Apollo, Chiron, and a Snake which were thought by the Greeks to be symbols of wisdom, healing, and resurrection. He eventually surpassed Chiron and even his own father, Apollo, and could evade death and bring others back from the dead.

It's said that due to him bringing back the dead Hades was angered at him stealing his subjects. Hades went to Zeus to ask for his aid, and upon hearing of this Zeus was so worried Asclepius would teach his art to others that he killed Asclepius with a thunderbolt. Apollo was angered at the death of his son and killed the giant that made the thunderbolts for Zeus. Zeus temporarily banished Apollo from Olympus as punishment. Later Zeus is said to have both places Asclepius' body among the constellations as Ophiuchus, and to have raised him to Olympus as a God.




Having new issues with BoM where on high graphics textures seem to be acting off. Not sure what that's about. I probably just need to update something or fiddle with settings more. Definitely has me torn though. I love the very cute BoM skin and look that has going, but I do find I miss my Boataom skins too. Maybe this just means I need to start roleplaying so I can have an excuse to play around with both looks.

Figured a God of Medicine and Healing was fitting right now. I wanted to keep it cheerful with a more pinup look cause I just wanted to do something bright at a time when I certainly don't feel very cheerful. I'm honestly super happy with it. If I showed off any SL things to my RL friends this would definitely be a top pick. I think the only thing I'd change is which leg had the slouchy stocking, but now it's just nitpicky.

Got Animal Crossing New Horizons so if you're wondering why I have not been posting regularly like I thought I would...my little village is why. Just gotta keep busy and keep inside. I got a cheeseburger for the first time in like two weeks today, and it was amazing.

I love you all. Thank you so much for coming here or just looking at my picture in general. All the likes and even just views on my photos bring me so much joy. Looking forward to events in SL in the coming weeks. Take care and have a lovely day.

Hymenaios

HYMENAIOS

~Greek God of Weddings, Receptions, and Marriage~

Often referred to simply as Hymen he was said to the son of Apollo and one of the muses in some cases or an ordinary Athenian. His job was to attend every wedding, and if he did not the marriage was thought to be destined to end in disaster. Because of this, the Greeks would call his name and traditional wedding songs even called to him.

The Charites were Goddesses of beauty and their job was to dance and bring joy into the hearts of men. They were often seen with Aphrodite. Aglaea was the youngest of the three sisters.





I've started playing around with Bakes on Mesh now that I've got some time to do so. I picked up an Enfer Sombre skin that I really love, and I have to say that once you get the hang of it this BoM stuff really does make a world of difference. I especially like how well BoM and Applier things kinda meld together so I can use the applier of one and the layer of another in a nice cohesive way to create a look I'm really happy with.

I used that with Hymenaios to create a look I felt was very soft since his role is weddings and those are usually known around here for very gentle and elegant styles. For the dress I was actually inspired by a photo I saw of someone wearing a lolita dress as a wedding gown, and how just truly lovely they looked. I got this dress during a sale Violent Seduction had some time last year and I've been absolutely in love with it, but it was a case of all dressed up with nowhere to go. I'm glad that this finally gave me a nice way to wear this dress and have fun with it.

Thank you for being here with me today. I know we're all facing a lot of uncertainty and rough times going forward. I hope you all are well, and safe at home. My job is closed for 2 weeks at this time, but I count myself lucky that I may have a job to come back to once this has passed and that this may be the worst I face of this. I hope all your loved ones are safe, and that you are too. Things will get better, and as long as we hold out together in time we'll all be in a place where we'll be alright again.

Take care of yourself. I'll probably post quite a bit in the next two weeks, and I'd like to thank you for reading this and giving me this small place where I can take a break from daily life and just for a moment pretend that everything is fine. It will be fine again, but uncertainty is scary for all of us.
