TheLashuntaFromCastrovelGuess What Day It Is?
Lashunta Sari Tuesday! Seeking inspiration beyond the Euro-Western stereotype!
Maybe just a casual scene in a municipal setting, featuring a housewife - but remember: housewife among lashunta means the head of the house!
Lashunta Inspirational Memory - 2 years ago
Artist: Alfonso Azpiri
Some pictures tell a story, and this pic told me this one...
Back in the Age of the Sage-Queens, a Korasha hero, the plucky stalwart type, became ensnared in a Witch-Princess's harem, who everyday trapped him in a mindscape and made him fight all kinds of fiendish creatures, ere she set his mind free at night to serve her, only to trap him again in the mindscape for the next day. At the heart of the mindscape lay a riddle, which, if he could fight through the monsters and solve, would let him escape during the day while the Witch-Princess slept.
What was the riddle?
New Word: ~Hivaemeraule~ - Witch-Princess!

Maybe this is something that approaches the polychromatic variety occurring in Lashunta appearances. Literally, all the colors of the rainbow, plus more that are not featured in this painting.

I've learned that dancing girls figure heavily in Chinese Art. This is just a smidge of a sample. What interests me is the floral emulation their dress exemplifies. Despite all its rainfall, Castrovel is a highly flower-ridden world, a motif the Lashunta could easily emulate as well (just add antennae).

Lashunta Inspirational Pic of the Week
Artist: Paul Thuman - Amor & Psyche (1900)
If this myth were retold in a lashunta version, would Eros's whole reason for staying invisible and keeping his identity secret be to avoid being caught under the Matriarchy's power dynamic, especially as an immortal in love with a mortal?
What if, on learning the truth, Psyche had banished him? What if Aphrodite's displeasure and the trials she sets for Psyche are based on Eros's banishment and her overall objection to her son being bound to a mortal?
In Lashunta Theology, ~Yue~ - erotic love - is one of those changeable, sex-shifting, clade-shifting figures, female or male, damaya or korasha, according to their whim. Thus the depiction here of a young male with a slim damaya building embracing ~Vae~ - Soul/Life - may not be inappropriate.

One of my prevailing archetypes, especially for Damaya outriders, is Diana Prince/Themyscira. In so many ways, she is all Lady Vaeol aspires to be.
