ROMAN HOLIDAY x MIDSOMMAR x ZENDAYA/TOM

Hunting her brainwashed, mortal-obsessed sister through the human world, a feral-girl goddess finds herself falling for a cinnamon-roll mortal. Or is that the 1st sign she's being brainwashed too?

Romantasy inspired by Mesopotamian mythology

A collage featuring an ancient lyre player, an arch with decorative designs, a woman dancing under a colonnade, tiled lions on a wall, an illustration of a river bank with palm trees, an ancient Egyptian depiction of three people underneath hieroglyphs, and an illustration of Semiramis, a queen of Assyria, in front of a winged Mesopotamian creature. Overlayed are images of gold coins, a wheel, a palm frond, an Assyrian winged figure, and a strip of cuneiform writing.

ZENDAYA & TOM x ANCIENT BABYLON

A lonely, feral-girl goddess blunders through the human world in hopes of reconciling with her estranged, mortal-loving sister. A shy, cinnamon-roll-boy bard makes the mistake of showing her compassion.

A collage on a stained glass cathedral background. Collage: a large monstera leaf, a group of people in purple and white robes with lace veils covering their faces, one holding a crucifix, a cactus with a pink flower, two nuns in black-and-white habits kissing, a close-up of red-liquid-covered fingers dipped into a silver cup. A three-panel image with clips from three movies. The left panel is labeled "The Little Hours" and shows a nun (Aubrey Plaza) screaming at an employee (Dave Franco). The middle panel is labeled "Good Will Hunting" and shows Will (Matt Damon) solving a math problem on a chalkboard. The right panel is labeled "Wicked (if Galinda & Elphaba kissed)" and shows Galinda (Ariana Grande) embracing Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) while looking in a mirror. A moodboard with nuns kissing, a leopard staring at the camera, a red ocean, a cactus with a flower, red fingers in a silver cup, foliage, purple-hooded people, and cathedral candles. Over the top, a white rectangle with the text: "A sapphic Good Will Hunting set in a prestigious magic convent. Spinoza is the middle-aged High Vestra of the most renowned magic convent as far as the rainforest reaches. As High Vestra, she’s responsible for communing with the gods. Except, ever since a sacrifice gone wrong three years ago, she can’t hear the gods anymore. Fearing irrelevance, she fabricates messages they send her. When her patron loses faith in Spinoza’s competence, she’s forced to select and train a replacement. Determined to prove she’s irreplaceable, she devises a selection trial that should be impossible to pass. Casuma is a young, rebellious maid at the renowned convent who resents her employers for deforesting her home and forcing their new religion on her family. To mess with the privileged acolytes, she completes a magical trial set out for them before any of them have even had the chance. But when her unprecedented success is discovered, she’s picked to be the High Vestra’s new apprentice. Though she loathes the High Vestra and everything she stands for, Casuma recognizes this as an opportunity to take down the religion from within. While Spinoza trains Casuma, they each secretly plot to undermine the other. As they spend more time together, their secrets threaten to come to the surface: Spinoza’s lie that she communes with the gods, that, if discovered, would make her an outcast, and Casuma’s plot of rebellion that could result in her death, as well as her secret affair with Pironella, a devout acolyte, despite the convent’s strict rules against romance."

If he didn’t want her here, he shouldn’t have invited her. How was she supposed to know that he’d offered her refuge in a prison for farm animals? She is no beast accustomed to sleeping on damp ground, nor is she a warden responsible for keeping beasts captive. The goat was bothering her. She let it go. So what? She tells him this. It does nothing to help him get over himself. Fine. Unsurprisingly, she must yet again show her magnanimity. She must help him solve his dilemma first. Then, once he is calm and rational again, they can get to work on her real problem.

CIRCE 𒉽 MIDSOMMAR 𒉽 Ancient Babylon

A spoiled muse strikes a deal with an innocent butcher: if he helps her take down a mysterious human cult, she'll heal his father. But when she starts falling for him—a common mortal—it's the first sign of her own indoctrination...

Imagine Tom & Zendaya, but he’s a vegan butcher & she’s a ruthless goddess

Facing punishment after stealing from mortals (how was she supposed to know they expected payment?) a selfish muse tricks an innocent butcher into taking the fall for her... then ends up falling for him.

ROMAN HOLIDAY x CIRCE x Ancient Babylon

For a muse, manipulating an innocent butcher should be simple.

𒐕: Trick him into taking the fall for her crimes ✅
𒐖: Persuade him to help her blend in among humans ✅
𒐗: Remember that falling for him could cost her divinity... oops

When a muse’s divine influence over her mortal playthings stops working, she goes to earth to investigate — but finds herself falling for the last mortal still under her influence.
