Do not worry! I WILL FINISH THIS CHALLENGE!! The last week of October is always SUPER busy with two birthdays and Halloween all within 10 days.

ANYWAY here's the exact moment Invidia returned home after completing the opening quest of Oblivion! She's upset with her twin brother Livio, seeing as he committed the crime she was imprisoned for in the first place, so it's kind of his fault that she literally went to Hell and back and didn't even get a t-shirt.

(She's not flipping him off, she's shaking her forefinger angrily at him lol)

On the fifth day of Saturnalia is the Divalia, the day dedicated to Angerona, she who soothes suffering and fear.

"Feriae dīvae Angerōniae, cui pontificēs in sacellō Volupiae sacrum faciunt. Quod angōrēs ac sollicitūdinēs animōrum propitiāta dēpellat".

'Holy day of the goddess Angerona, to whom the pontiffs sacrifice in the shrine of Volupia (goddess of pleasure). Because when she has been propitiated she dispels the mind's anxieties and worries. Macrobius.

O quinto día de Saturnalia é a Divalia, o día dedicado a Angerona, deusa que calma o sufrimento e o medo.

For the Pixel Dailies. Theme was ‘secret. So I did Angerona, the goddess who guarded the secret, true name of Rome.

It vibes with when a friend was thinking a bit about a story with a human trying to survive in an alien planet, and my immediate question was "what about the lives that already existed there? Are they really monsters or is that just the pov of the protagonist?"

Which is my way to say it sounds like a story I would buy front row seats for 👀

It is my favorite WIP at the moment, so THANK YOU for asking about it. YAY!

Yeah, the politics and worldbuilding here are complicated. Basically, humans have colonized space, and there are various factions. One of those factions, named Heritage, is ridiculously rich, they live for, like, thousands of years each individual, and they dwell solely in spaceships.

But. Thing is, they “provide worlds” for other humans to live on. They take a planet, terraform it, meanwhile collecting people from already existing planets. Those people pay them in various goods and treasures, for a chance at life in better conditions. The Heritage transports them, in stasis or hibernation, to newly terraformed planets.

Terraforming, however, isn’t really sustainable. Planets can be homes to the newcomers for, well, maybe ten generations? That’s like five hundred years? I don’t know, I didn’t do the math. It’s a short time for sure and as a result – Heritage has new customers! Yay for Heritage (not).

Anyway. As with any kind of oppressive system, people figured out ways around it. Angerona was a spaceship, in which people who didn’t have enough resources to pay Heritage, escaped non-survivable conditions on their world. They had illegally obtained information about a world under terraforming. And they illegally settled there, before terraforming was completed.

The problem is, terraforming wasn’t just not-completed. It was deliberately sabotaged.

Now. Some sixty years after settling on the planet, the descendants of original inhabitants discover there is life outside of terraformed zones. This life is most likely intelligent (no, they are not monsters, although they kind of look like they are ;) ). And on top of that, the Heritage’s Seed Ship enters orbit and their authorities demand Angerona people relinquish their meek installations and leave the planet.

What’s gonna happen now?
