Long ago in Ancient Greece, Athena drove a young woman to suicide for her pride over her marvelous weaving. After death, the girl was changed into the first spider, and all her descendants have been marvelous weavers, in spite of Athena's attempt to still the girl's hands...

Welcome to Athena's Curse.

1.) No stealing lineart. This lineart is copyright Sarabi Adruenna with edits by whitekitsune. Respect that. Art thiefs will be found, caught, and reported.

2.) Be nice. Y'know that old 'golden rule'? The one in the Bible, not the other one? Yah. Be nice to everyone, and I'll be nice to you. Got it?

3.) I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. I don't care who you are.

4.) No whining, begging, pleading, etc. That's a fast ticket to the Blacklist.

5.) Customs will be decided on by the colorists, the lineart editor, and the manager.

6.) Come to this shop with an open mind, please. Your pet can be homosexual and have a partner and even have children if they so choose. If you have a problem with that... you shouldn't be here. Flaming on those grounds is a faster ticket to the Blacklist.

7.) This is a PG-13 site. If you want to RP mating, go to PMs. Thank you muchly. We don't want to have the thread shut down.

8.) Don't piss me off. That'll get you blacklisted quickly too. Note: Any member of my staff can enforce these rules. I'm not always a b***h, but I can be. Second note: Ask raven before you do things. She likes control. In addition, raven can be extremely a**l retentive. Keep that in mind.

9.) If you offend other regulars here, you can be Temporarily Warned (Grey listed). If you offend too many of them, you can be Blacklisted. If someone's offending you, PM this account--note: THIS IS THE ONLY TIME TO PM THIS ACCOUNT UNLESS I ASK YOU TO.

10.) DO NOT PM THE STAFF UNLESS THEY SPECIFICALLY STATE YOU CAN

11.) I can add to these rules at any time.

What's a custom flatsale?
Well, you can choose what the final adult stage is-- by name, please.

Do we have tp RP?
Nope. You can RP here if you want, but you don't have to. There might be perks for RPers though. ninja

What's the deal with the donation item thing?
Well, if you donate to the store, then your pet will receive an item-- much like the Gaia donation item. This will start out with an envelope and then on the 25th, it will open to be an item. You won't know what the item is ahead of time-- at least, not to start out with. That month's donation letters will not be available after the letters have opened. You will have an inventory which raven will keep track of and then you will be able to equip/unequip items from your pets.

So... how do I donate? And how many items do I get?
You donate by sending gold via a trade with subject line: "Athena's Curse Donation" (or something like that with the words "Athena's Curse" and "Donation" somewhere in it). You send this trade to GreenStone. Just go up to the Bank and choose a new trade and type that name in. You will receive one envelope for every 1.5K you donate. There is no limit on how many envelopes you can receive.

Can I sell my donation items to other people later?
You can sell your donation items to other people who may want them more under certain conditions. If you sell it for more than 1.5K, I expect that you will send 20% of the profits to the store since I'll need to change certs and such.

Can I direct link?
As long as you don't mind losing your cert? Of course. I'll host the cert for a week or so after each stage-- meaning that every time it grows I will post a new cert in the Materializations post.

OMG I LOST MY CERT!!!!! WHAT DO I DO????
At the risk of sounding like a book: DON'T PANIC. Post in the thread that you need a replacement cert, state which pet it is, and send a trade of 500g. Once I've gotten the gold, I will re-post your cert.

What's the deal with RPing?
Ok, so I already said you don't have to RP. But you can. There are a few rules when you RP though-- just to keep it nice for everyone.

RP Rules]1. Spiders only. On rare occasion, we'll have an event where the owners interact, or where other pets can interact with them. Rare though.
2. Basic RP rules apply. No God-modding, no puppeteering, no flaming, etc.
3. Keep OOC and IC separate. ((Parenthetical like this works very nicely.))[/i:zoa26mt

Every spider starts from somewhere-- an egg sac, hanging on a web...

User Image

Finally wriggling out of the sac, the newly hatched spider wanders about. At this stage, they are unable to communicate via human speech, but they can, of course, speak to others who understand the same language... there is no difference between males and females at this stage-- which means no crushes and so forth.

User Image

Full-fledged adults, at this stage, the Spiders can finally breed. At this stage, there are six possibilities of appearances-- three for the female, three for the male. The girl styles from left to right: Lydia, Lena/Leda, Arachne. The males from left to right: Glaucon, Er, Thrasymachus.</center>

Arachne, a young girl from the polis of Lydia, was the most talented weaver in all of Greece. Her finished tapestries and cloths were prized above all others, and even watching the act of her weaving entranced those whose eyes gazed upon her. Even the ever-playful nymphs and satyrs would abandon their revelries to watch Arachne.

There were whispers that Arachne must have been taught by the Goddess of Wisdom, the Patron Goddess of Wisdom-- Athena-- but Arachne only laughed at those claims. She proclaimed to those who dared say such things that Athena herself could do no greater weaving than Arachne could.

But the Gods hear all.

Athena came to Arachne in the guise of an old woman, warning her against the sin of Pride. Arachne told the woman that she would welcome a challenge, a contest against Athena. Thus, Athena revealed her true form and the contest began.

The theme of Athena's tapestry was the contest between Poseidon and herself for the city of Athens. Poseidon's salt water spring, Athena's olive tree, and those who would become Athena's followers-- every aspect appeared upon the Goddess' work.

The mortal, chose to weave a scene of Zeus-- in part. A tapestry showcasing some of Zeus' infidelities appeared upon her loom as she worked. Arachne's work was so exquisitely beautiful, Europa appeared real upon the bull's shoulders as he swam across the tapestry, Danae shone, bathed in the golden rays... and in the end, even Athena herself admitted that Arachne's work was flawless.

But the Gods are jealous.

Athena tore Arachne's tapestry to pieces and destroyed the girl's loom so she would learn her lesson. Touching her hand to Arachne's forehead, Athena made certain that Arachne felt guilt for what she'd done. Arachne's guilt began to consume her frail mind until she hanged herself.

But atonement is not so easy.

Using the juices of aconite, Athena brought Arachne back to life-- but in another form. The spider, Arachne, would be forever a weaver, and forever trapped in a form hideous to most who looked upon her.

Arachne's descendants began to strive to regain their human forms-- in different ways. Now there are two categories. Those who align themselves with the Gods beg for mercy from the Gods and Goddesses, and strive to further the words of the Pantheon. Those who align themselves with the Self strive to make their own way in the world, and have forsaken the Gods and Goddesses. The two Stands hate one another with a vengeance.
