O' EVENING STAR ⭐

who let me have him, i made him into a dad (x2)

his particular magic gifts were considered too dangerous for ancient society

oh yeah i should mention my headcanon that hesperos was a prisoner of asphodelos before he was elevated to the position of keyward for his loyalty (and assisting in a murder)

writes a STRONGLY WORDED LETTER and compartmentalizes that anger and crashes out later

chat does he look intimidating?

LOUD ANCIENT POLICE SIRENS IN THE BACKGROUND WARDENS SCRAMBLING

They should add a savage only mechanic where there is a 1% chance that when Hesperos is about to use his tank buster he picks up the WoL and tosses them.

MANIFESTING that as an average puerto rican summer

having hesperos' soul be fractured when attempting to unfuse him from the vrykolakas, and sacrificing phosphoros to repair it would do the trick.

it reinforces the idea they both have that only one of them can be afforded happiness. which is also fun.

i think it'd be very fun if hesperos and his twin phosphoros were two halves of one soul. they certainly show it.

hesperos is an exceptional spellcaster, and phosphoros has immense strength and martial prowess.

I see that this has resonated with the "I want to be held by a big man" crowd, which I am very much a part of as well--

cuteness aggression...

im built indifferent. shit happens and im like "ok"

sketchy wip of hesperos tweaking out and about to use his keywarden magic to send erichthonios away while he fights the WoL (for erich's own protection, in his eyes)

FEELING THE FREE WILL TONIGHT, I CAN PUT SO MUCH MENTAL ILLNESS INTO THIS MAN

Superficially, Lahabrea seems to do the same. Though with Lahabrea I interpret his Hephaistos persona more in the vein of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

But instead of integrating it in a healthy manner, he allowed himself to be consumed by his shadow and indulge in his absolute worst behaviors and traits with delight.

I interpret Hesperos' vampire form as a more overt, physical manifestation of his "shadow", in a Jungian sense. It is all of the traits, behaviors, and feelings that he hides, due to the nature of the highly repressive nature of ancient society.

➤ SCH

After being granted a second lease at life, Hesperos is not quite sure what to do with himself. So he falls back on what is familiar; looking after dangerous beings.

➤ RDM.

Elegant and deadly. This is Hesperos' pure, unfettered vanity in full display, as he is eager to shed the shackles of ancient society.

Thread of Jobs I associate with my version of Hesperos.

➤ PLD.

Pure devotion, dedication. Ready to lay down his life for his liege. And a symbol of selfless sacrifice.

who let me have this man
i made him a dad

the second he feels that faith is misplaced, he will walk away. which is why an au where hesperos comes back and still struggles with his remaining feelings and obligations to lahabrea, but with time chooses to walk away and claim a life and identity of his own outside of others is like crack to me

(bITING MY HANDS) the way i write hesperos he.. he has always believed his life has no inherent worth outside of what he can provide for another. he has an uncanny ability to throw himself FULLY into something. be it an ideal, a person, or a cause.

but the, second that faith is betrayed...

cooking up a lahabrea and a hesperos in my brain has been a mistake because everything i pointed to in my hesperos portrayal became 10 times worse but also it all makes so much more sense

it is all terribly dire i'm afraid

nothing will ever be better or funnier than the p4s phase transition where hesperos dramatically removes his glasses and then proceeds to have tankbusters called "nearsight" and" farsight". girl put them back on ill wait
