Can't Wait To Replay Peak Today 🔥🔥🔥

a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

Hello dear!

Sorry for bothering you, but it's important to remind you to turn off your asks for a few days! Bad things are going to happen on Tumblr soon...

Don t know anything about this but BETTER BE SAFE EVERYBODY!!!!!!

i always kinda knew you'd be the death of me

house talis family portrait because can't a girl indulge herself with they're alive and married au?

Can I assume your friends call you Doc Ock? — My friends actually call me V. My enemies call me Doc Ock.

...and then jayce b. parker got thrown around the room for 20 minutes and didn't even try to help ekko morales steal the hextechmax head scientist viktor octavius's computer

thank you twitter user LEXHTTPS111 for planting the seed of doc ock viktor in my brain. i will be thinking about this for the next seven years.

no offense but u dont exactly have the "rights" 2 any historical figures bc they were real ppl n if sum1 makes a clone of the same person mayb dont act like they stole from u ? lol

I don't?? I'm talking about designs! I made these designs, so no, I don't own the people. So when I see something similar to my design, yeah, I get kinda mad.

The person who's done it has had a history of stealing and tracing, so yeah, i get a little worried when a character with a similar design shows up from them. With a figure like Yuri, you don't see him a lot, I only knew about him for about maybe two years, but those people are kinda hard to find when you're in the States.

I know I don't own these characters, but when the person is a tracer, proshipper, and just steals. I do get worried. I'd love someone to share my love of these people, I really do, but I can kinda tell. There's few others of Neil and Yuri, and I like them. I think they're cute!

I don't own these people. No one does.

That is all I say.

No longer fighting to be known.
