Stygius, the blade of the underworld
Stygian Blade: This sword was the first infernal weapon wielded by Zagreus in their ceaseless attempts at escaping the realm of Hades. Long before it was given to Prince Zagreus by his tutor, the blade was Lord Poseidon’s trusted weapon in battling the titans. When Poseidon was given dominion over the seas, he took up the trident as his favored tool and left the Stygian blade to gather dust in the depths of Tartarus.
I love a good action rogue-like, so I got myself Hades on the switch for Christmas. I love it. I could do a whole series of drawings just on the items in Hades. I might even do that eventually, but for now I don’t want to add another giant project onto my to do list, so I give you the Stygian Blade. The least spoilery thing I could draw from a game I thoroughly recommend.

I have been uncharacteristically quiet lately after the violent mob attempted a coup at the US Capitol during a ceremonial count of the electoral college votes. It is because I had prewritten the last blog post and been in a constant doom-scroll new binge to stay up to date on the teetering of American democracy.
I am both shocked and not surprised at all by the violent insurrection perpetrated by white-supremacists, alt-righters, conspiracy theorists, and Trump supporters. I whole heartedly believe that Trump and his supporters incited violence and tried to change the result of the election by violent means. Trump has actively lied about the results of the election and is not willing to peacefully surrender power. If you supported what the insurrectionists attempted in Washington D.C., you are on the side of nazis and that is the wrong side.
If you are thinking to yourself, “I wish I could just enjoy things without politics being brought up” you are in the wrong place. Existence is political, electing to not talk about politics is a political choice that supports the status quo.
Also, COVID is still a huge problem. Wear a mask, don’t tolerate incitement to violence, and be excellent to everyone.
