Ever since I first started reading Harry Potter, I have been trying on and off to develop an idea of how the Jamaican wizarding community might be, and considered writing a story about a Jamaican witch or wizard. Living in Jamaica, of course, not abroad. With the new expansions to the Potterverse in the form of the American, Asian, African, etc wizarding communities that Rowling has put on Pottermore and in the new Fantastic Beasts movie, I think there's pretty good reason to revisit that idea. 

I never really could come up with a conflict/plot worth expanding on, though... So... who knows if I'll ever write it.

For a long time, I've thought that the Egyptian God Cards/Cards of the Gods of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters were not... Egyptian enough. Not very true to the mythos. I mean, what does a sky/heavenly dragon have to do with Osiris? Why was the Obelisk chosen to be the Giant God Soldier? (Or Tormenter in the English verison.) Only the Winged Dragon of Ra seems to be a true reflection of the sun God; though it's a dragon, it looks avian (Ra is a falcon-headed god), has a spherical mode (a nod to the sun-disk), and has a phoenix mode (a nod to the daily resurrection of the god). 

So, what's the point of saying all of that? Well, I thought maybe I'd (re-)envision the idea of the Monsters of the Gods, and maybe invent some. I have the beginnings of concepts for monsters connected to Hapi (god of the Nile) and Ma'at (goddess of peace/order) already. Maybe, over time, I'll draw them and post them here. It should be fun!

Your ideas are really awesome :love: As a Harry Potter fan, I also wondered how the Brazilian community of wizards would be like :XD: 

And about your Yu-Gi-Oh ideas, they're really awesome! I would love to see a monster based on Hapi or Ma'at =P Actually I had a similar idea myself... I was planning to draw a card for Apophis and it would be called "Apophis, the Serpent of Chaos" as I believe Apophis was behind everything that happened in the Egyptian Arc
