this piece was kind of cursed......... and took days of throwing it all out and redoing it, but it ended up really pretty so it was definitely worth it ^^
*So last minute that it is already 4th. I tried before midnight but the stupid mastodon client on the iPad did not want to connect and passing it to the laptop took me some minutes.
Today I'm starting early (04: 31) with my #Oddtober contribution.
#Cerberus
The three headed dog, a creature that has been shown in all manners of its cursed existence ... except (maybe) one... hope you brought a bag.
tai: when kit's playing with his rope we just go and read stuff on our phone or watch some TV! it's kinda relaxing though...
kit: sometimes i just need to get rid of all my extra energy ^^; i got a lot of different toys to play with for that reason. it's most fun when we play together though!
hiya!! from left to right, we are kit, tai and ike! we're a husky cerberus!
KIT: "i'm kit! :3 i love tennis balls and i love food and i love playing fetch! without me my brothers wouldn't have any fun in their entire lives for sure!"
TAI: "and i'm tai! i love to research and learn stuff, and i have the most focus of my brothers >:3"
IKE: "zzzzzzz....... oh.. i'm ike! i'm the creative one and have a great memory, and my brothers can always rely on me for my support ^^"
expect to see lots of art about our daily life with 3 heads ^^ and you can also send us asks over on cohost:
So, a few years ago, a post was going around (on Tumblr I think), where someone stated that the linguistic root of "Cerberus" translates to "Spot" or somesuch and painted a cute scenario in which Hades named the dread dog of Hell Spot.
I was absolutely infatuated with the idea and painted this - only once I'd finished it did I think to google the Cerberus = Spot thing and immediately figured out that it isn't true 🤣 still, here's some puppy Cerberus!
Why is Europe’s latest heat wave called Cerberus? It’s complicated.
Multiple reports about the blistering heat wave, which has pushed temperatures up to around 40 degrees in Spain, Italy, Greece, and other countries, have cited the Italian Meteorological Society as the institution that chose the name Cerberus for this dangerous weather event.
But there’s a problem. The society had nothing to do with the heat wave’s dramatic christening.
Southern European countries are reeling under heat wave "Cerberus".
Italy, Greece and Spain are grappling with scorching temperatures, with most of Italy under a "red" alert warning.
The European Space Agency (ESA), whose satellites monitor land and sea temperatures, said Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland were all affected by scorching temperatures.
"The #HeatDome is likely to expand as it strengthens in the coming days, possibly spreading as far north-east as central #Europe and bringing highs of more than 30C to parts of the continent each day. #Spain will be particularly badly affected and is likely to hit the low- to mid-40s celsius daily, particularly across southern regions."
"#Greece's civil protection ministry warned of the risk of #ForestFires in five areas and told people to avoid tasks such as burning weeds for fear of setting off blazes. #Wildfires also hit parts of #Croatia close to the Adriatic coast."
