Thank you so much!
Before I offer compliments I must send you this meme I have. Fun fact: This was not my original idea for a Gilgamesh graphic novel. The original focused on Gilgamesh trying to reverse his immortality and, in the process, meeting heroes from other pantheons like achilles and cu chulainn. While some elements remain in the script, it got absorbed into this since I felt dissatisfied with that story.

Anyways, I really like the Flecks on Achilles in particular! Reminds me of blood but, beyond that, beyond that, it reminds me of the roses you use as apparel, which I really enjoy. You know what they say about how every rose has its thorns and how every demigod has a trail of bodies directly or indirectly killed by them... wait. I think I'm the only one who says that. But a very lovely, bloody Mirror nonetheless.
Patroclus is just as handsome! I adore Blackberry Fade and Blend so I'm really glad he has those as genes. For some reason, they remind me of Onibi and Hitodama from Japanese myths and folklore. The candles add to them in my mind. I also like how his armor contrasts Achilles' with the gold tones rather than silvers. If it is alright to say, I think he's both very pretty and very spooky!
And Pyrrha is just a cute! Maybe because when I was a kid, I made up a dragon protagonist named Pyro (she's changed a lot- including her name being Py[i]rite[/i] now- but someday she'll be included in a story of mine), but I think that's a very cute name for a dragon. She'll be a very lovely grey-purple once she gets the proper genes and I think she'll remind me of a statue. Also, as someone who just got my own first self-hatched Primal, congratulations!

Sadly no mythological reference here, but I do have my lovely pair of lesbians! Together they're my ambassadors for the Love is In the Air holiday.

Oh, I remember learning some about Gilgamesh in high school mythology class! I even have a picture somewhere that I drew of Gilgamesh and the challenges he faced (he is holding a blade, and in the reflection of the metal you can see various enemies). Forgive me for not remembering much, it was over a decade ago that I studied this. Still, super cool that you took inspiration from a less well-known area of mythology.
I do also love that particular skin! It makes me want to have an aberration in my lair just as a way to display the skin.
I actually decided my lore is going to revolve around a clan of women who found a type of magic that allows them to breed with each other. I'm grateful for silhouette scrolls, so all my dragons can be perceived as female even though the pairs can technically breed. Right now, I only have two permas, Viv and Pip. Speaking of mythology, I actually considered naming the mirror Artemis, but I wasn't sure who in mythology I would want to pair with her, considering she is one of the virgin goddesses.

Viv just needs her Flaunt and Sparkle genes, then I can breed the two.

When I read The Epic of Gilgamesh, I had a very straight, very cisgender, white male English teacher. Said teacher was the kind who, if they'd chosen to be historian rather than a teacher, would have read The Song of Achilles and genuinely thought, "Aww, they were such great friends!"
Anyway.
Point is, despite that teacher, I immediately saw the gay "friends" that were Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
Congrats on finally getting your lad!

I love the myth concept! The Epic of Gilgamesh is a good read; been a while for me, though. LOL
I have Bayou, who was born from the swamp, and Mudslide, who is from the mud in that swamp. They are my token (??) gay couple, LOL. Working on lore for the whole clan, so nothing is fleshed out.

I have this couple. They are inspired by Greek mythology and were named after Greek deities. I love how they match each other. As if they were made to be together!

I have Phoenix and Saint! Phoenix is an arrogant demi-god that reincarnates every time he is killed (which is a lot, he's not that good at fighting) and Saint is his mortal valkyrie(warrior) partner (who is much better at fighting) - together they combine and make a slightly above average fighting duo I guess LOL

i love how it straddles the line between an epic historical myth and a futuristic sci-fi version. and then pulling in the ideas of nature and a love story (both of which are biological) and contrasting it with a cold, calculating robot theme while trying to push humanity and what it means to be human, with a queer twist. literally everything i enjoy wrapped into one.
