Summary: Before Time and Space had joined forces, there was a great nothingness. One so great that even the Gods couldn’t break through alone.
Even after the Gods escaped and created a safe haven for their kind, the Great Nothingness still permeated their very beings. It seeped into everything, despite their attempts to stop it.
Or The story of how the Nothingness Wars began.
so y'all listen, I'm taking art history and basically what I learned is egyptians were the first furries. I rest my case.
DepressKitty/Depression Priest 🥲❤️😺🖤
My first try to make my own Smiling Critters Sona in Smiling Critters Space Raiders AU and make her as a Priest in the Prototype Cult and wearing Egyptian culture style clothes.
I won't reveal her face yet sorry.
Little about her :
DepressKitty personality gloomy, Genuinely Friendly to Sadistic and Ruthless, Loyalty, Serious, and kind.
She secretly a Egyptian Goddess in the Cult of the Prototype, none of the members knows except the Prototype himself, due they scent both of them are God Entity beings when first meet. The Prototype just open to let her join willingly because she would be useful in the Cult.
For years her role as a High ranking Priest goes by the name Depression Priest, she usually create new type Red Smoke Serum and spread the words of the Lord. The Prototype pleased of her duties and earned respect from him.
Most all members in the Cult afraid of DepressKitty due how powerful she in combat and has aura of depression as making everyone around her will make them out of control depressions until they can't handle it anymore then making them kill themselves, but this when she in state of traumatic or depression. Usually use the Red Smoke serum to calm herself.
No any Space Raiders or Cult members dare or willing challenge or fight DepressKitty because it will be death trap for them no matter how many or powers they have. One time a random Space Raider try to fight her soo he can prove everyone is wrong but the Raider got... Well let's just say he didn't survive or in one piece.
DepressKitty know about CatNap and DogDay as seen them like a demigods because of their celestial powers.

Oh dear lord... thank you so much for posting this, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. It drives me nuts that pop culture will set a show/movie/book (well, maybe book(s), not entirely sure on that one,) in Ancient Greece, or maybe will just use the Greek names of the Gods, but Heracles will be called Hercules.
I also appreciate that you pointed out how the Greeks also used syncretism
Listen, this is a very specific topic to be iffy about, but for your knowledge, the Roman gods are not the Greek gods.
The Romans were big on syncretism (the combination of different forms of belief or intellectual thought) and the adoption of foreign gods. The Greek deities were known since very early periods via the Etruscan culture, which was heavily influenced by Greece since the middle of the 8th century BC because of trade routes as well as the Greek cultural potential and would come to be completely engulfed around the third century BC with the Roman-Etruscan wars, but just like you’d see the Romans claiming the Germanic tribes worshipped their own gods under different names (the Germania by Roman historian Tacitus, written around 98 AD), the same happened here, and the fusion wasn’t 100% accurate.
While in the case of Zeus and Jupiter, for example, it worked well, Venus is far more motherly and political than Aphrodite (as Mars is the Father of Rome via the myth of Romulus and Remus, Venus is Venus Genetrix, Venus the Mother, and the only time you’ll see Aphrodite being motherly is in… the Aeneid, a distinctively Roman piece), Mars is an agricultural god as well as the god of war and has way more political connotations than Ares (he was a member of the archaic Capitoline Triad), Mercury is far more linked with commerce than the more pastoral Hermes, and the list goes on. Apollo was imported directly and very early (a temple for him, the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, was erected in the city of Rome as early as 431 BC), thus keeping the name but undergoing a very distinct Romanization of his attributes and worship. Janus, Quirinus and Terminus were very important Roman gods which had no Greek equivalent.
Isis, for example, was worshipped as herself, equated with a number of deities in both the Greek and the Roman worlds and some of her methods of worship and symbolism were associated with the Virgin Mary. It’s a far more complicated scenario, babes, especially when you consider Alexander’s conquests and the expansion of Hellenistic culture as well as its contact with many other cultures.
Syncretism is way more complicated than “the Romans just stole the Greek gods and gave them different names, the uncreative fucks”. The traditional date for Rome’s foundation is 753 BC and the Western Roman Empire would last until 436 AD. That’s over a thousand years of conquest, trade and growing and shrinking territories, and none of these factors are likely to leave a religion unaltered.
Besides, the practice of religious syncretism is way older and more common than you’d expect. The Akkadians did it to Summerian deities a few thousand years before this especially after the conquest of Sargon of Akkad in 2340 BC (“Mesopotamia: the Sumerians”. Washington State University). The Greeks were doing much the same with the Roman pantheon itself (Dionysus of Halicarnassus and Plutarch use Greek names for Roman cult), with the Egyptian pantheon and with the Scythian pantheon (Herodotus in both cases, though the associations would outlive him, such as the case of Zeus/Amon).
So, no the Roman gods aren’t the plagiarized versions of the Greek gods, and I could defend this in front of a jury.

MY GOD YOUR ART HAS IMPROVED
A LOT💜💜
Really over-worked my arm this week, but I was having so much fun sketching these out
![[ Non Sexual Nudity ] I Gave Up](https://64.media.tumblr.com/51cccf0d41e8966488f1065807a7b4c1/fec8469bdedfb2e7-6d/s500x750/414a576424f1704fcad8aa32d80869bd891abe96.png)
Happy to share this mythological entity I painted for Isfet, a miniature boardgame set in ancient Egypt.
This is Kherty, an underworld deity. He was said to be the one to carry the spirits of the deceased to the afterlife and protect them from evil spirits, similar to the Greek ferryman Charon. It may be plausible to say Kherty was the original underworld deity before Osiris attained divine status.
Please let me know what you think!
All the best,
JCH
Don't mess with Egyptian mythology fans, we are 4 and one of us died yesterday
I swear that something absolutely radical is soon gonna be finished, but I keep getting sidetracked and art blocked.
So while fighting my lactose intolerance today and eating a whole can of corn, have medjed.
Thank you to @pricklypinefawn for that one idea in the top right corner.
Ihyy♡♡
Ihy, the young god of music, is Hathor's beloved child, capable of bringing a smile to everyone's face with just a shake of his divine sistrum. The goddess of love is extremely protective of her son. Since the day she was separated from her late husband, she has found solace in his music, which can heal any sorrow. Ihy is a very obedient child who never leaves Hathor's side and would do anything to make his melancholic mother smile for him.
It's you, Osiris! Despite everything, it's still you...
I'm always thinking about how much he changed after being attacked by his own brother.
