i know Theseus isn't really like evil or even assholeish cuz lets be honest in like most of his appearances in plays, he is incredibly empathetic and kind but damn I fucking love asshole theseus like hes so good as a menece lmao like yeah I like him abandoning ariadne cuz fuck it let bro wig out after killing the minitaur.

Yeah, he hates his son cuz he's a vegetarian. I love it. i don't see him as evil I see him as someone who can lock in when the time is needed, and then lock out.

yall forgetting he had to deal with a bunch of insane serial killers when he was a kid of course he's a bit unhinged after fighting the minotaur.

Every time I remember Thalia's actress in the show is British I laugh. Please keep her British. I need to see Percy making fun of her accent like "bit sad innit pinecone face" when he gets pissed and Thalia electrocuting him with four lightning bolts in a row. It would be extremely in character

Y'all ever think about the way video game bosses are designed to lose? How the bombastic soundtracks, the impressive displays of villainy, the teeth-rattling power of their attacks, are at once engineered not just to sell you on how unfathomably strong and vile they are, but also to make the player's inevitable victory all the sweeter?

Viewed this way, a boss battle is more like a choreographed dance - they call, you respond and counter-call. The trick is to learn the steps - once you know where to move, when to strike, when to defend and how to best allocate your resources, victory is not just achievable but actually almost impossible to avoid. You cannot help but recite the winning plays, over and again, because that is what the dance demands of you both - and is there not a savage sort of beauty in such a thing?

Is it any wonder then that we look back on these bosses so fondly, almost as if they were old friends? We danced together once, and oh what fun we had while doing it!

that softness is fucking devastating btw, speaking from experience

To Zeus Eleutherios, the Liberator

Zeus Eleutherios, divine liberator of mankind

You who breaks chains and brings freedom to the masses

It is you who gives us the strength and the understanding to free ourselves from tyranny

And it is you who intervenes to free humankind from the yoke of slavery and oppression

In these times of trouble I turn to you, that you might grant to us your guidance and intervention now

To you I pray, oh lightning-wielding patron of the freedom struggle

I beg of you, bestow upon us the strength, the skill, the power, and knowledge to free ourselves

To free our world from the tyranny of fascism, imperialism, and zionism,

To overcome and destroy oppression in all its forms

Grant the people inspiration, that we might be able to rise up and defeat those who hold us down

That we might be delivered from all those who exploit, murder, and marginalize

Just and Revolutionary Zeus, who with your son Dionysos, carries the title of Liberator

May all the enemies of the people be laid low, may they be disarmed and disempowered

May they pay for their crimes in this life, in this generation, and not the next

Bring swift justice and vengeance on those who deceive us,

and upon the forces that render us complicit in violence and the destruction of our siblings

May all who defile the Sacred Earth with bloodshed and pollution be cast into the deepest depths of Tartaros

Oh great King of the Heavens, wolf-like and serpentine, avenging the wrongs and corruption of mortal leaders

It is to you I pray, that we shall arrive at freedom in our lifetimes

And that through your divine inspiration we may build the struggle to create a better world

Strike down with your shining scepter all those in power who subdue the coming of justice

That our path to freedom be one not far from us, but near at hand

Oh Lord Zeus, you who delivers freedom and justice, hear this my prayer

(Art by Heinrich Friedrich Füger)

I just went to YouTube to try and search for "evidence against creationism." Halfway through the word "again," the site suggested "evidence against evolution."

When I searched for "evidence against creationism," let's just say the results were disappointing. Here's a list of the first fifteen videos that came up:

What’s the evidence for a 6,000 year old Earth? (pro-creationism)

The Definitive Guide to Debunking Creationists Part 1: Cosmology/Planetary Science (anti-creationism)

Shortest Scientist vs Creationist debate ever. (stance unclear)

"Creation Scientist Shocks Joe Rogan with Mind-Blowing Evidence Against Evolution!" (presented as pro-creationism)

Why Evolution Is FALSE (pro-creationism)

SIX Biological Evidences for Creation - Pt.1 (pro-creationism)

Richard Dawkins: One Fact to Refute Creationism (anti-creationism)

Creationist Stumps Evolutionary Professors with ONE Question! (pro-creationism)

7 Scientific Reasons why Darwinian Evolution is a Myth (pro-creationism)

Oxford Mathematician DESTROYS Atheism In Less Than 15 Minutes (BRILLIANT!) (clickbait title, video is of a theistic scientist talking about his beliefs)

6 Reasons Not to Believe in Evolution | Proof for God

How old is the Earth --- 6,000 years or 4.5 billion? (anti-young earth creationism, though the creator claims Egyptian mummies are 200,000 years old, so...)

Evolutionary Biologist Reacts to Young Earth Creationist Arguments (anti-creationism)

This Is the Absolute BEST Evidence for Biblical Creation | Ken Ham (pro-creationism)

We Challenge All Evolutionists to Watch This Video! (pro-creationism)

So out of the first fifteen results for "evidence against creationism," only two of them have any actual relevance. Nine of the videos are straight up antiscience propaganda pushing young earth creationist pseudoscience.

The trend continued to hold after this, with some relevant videos here and there but most of the content promoting young earth creationism.

This is bad. Very bad. The purpose of young earth creationism is to turn people into Christofascists and to deny the reality of anthropogenic climate change.

So what do we do?

We make noise.

We make a conscious effort to create and promote more pro-science content and educate people against this chicanery. We intensify any and all activism against Christofascist BS. We get up and kick this BS in the ass, that's what we do.

Reminder: disability support is for EVERYONE on this planet.

Anyone can become disabled at ANY time. Even if you have no family history of health issues, all it takes is one freak accident, one well intentioned misstep, one internal complication, one particularly nasty hit to the head, for you and those you love to become disabled.

Support isn’t just for those born with a disability, it’s for those who gained one later in life.

“Oh but it’ll never happen to me” it CAN. Doesn’t mean it will, but it CAN. It might not be you, maybe your best friend, your partner, your parents etc. expert athletes who take all safety precautions still end up with career ending injuries. People with no family history still have strokes. People who follow all the road rules still get into car crashes. ANYTHING can happen to ANYONE at ANY TIME. And if there’s no disability support, not only do people born disabled suffer, but those who become disabled later in life will too. You will too, if the unfortunate happens to you.

Everyone should be pro disability support, everyone should be against ableism, because one day it might be you who can’t work and needs money for treatment. You may not end up in a wheelchair or with a cane, maybe it’ll be internal, invisible, but you’re still suffering from its effects.

ANYTHING can happen to ANYONE at ANY TIME. Maybe at birth, maybe in 20 years, maybe never. But it CAN happen. Having the support there for those who need it currently and those who’ll need it in the future is a basic human right.

Repeat after me, folks!!

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be pro-Zionist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be anti-Semitic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be homophobic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be transphobic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be sexist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and hate on other minorities/religions.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be racist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be an asshole.

Xenia is such a crucial part of Hellenic paganism. Anyone who disagrees with any of these points can kindly fuck off my blog.

“Erm… You called for me, your highness?” The servant said awkwardly from the doorway. Odysseus did not recognize them.

“Ah, yes.” Penelope said, sitting up in their bed “Have they finished cleaning up all that blood yet?”

“Uhhh…” the servant’s eyes darted to where Odysseus laid next to her and quickly away. Good. “Nearly. There’s some on the ceiling we haven’t been able to reach yet.”

“Really?” Penelope said with a hauntingly familiar trill in her voice.

Odysseus blushed.

“I believe your son went to find them a ladder.”

“In any case,” She continued “I believe the chamberlain has had plans for a royal wedding in place for quite a while now. Flowers, feast, guest list and all that. Tell him to run it.”

The servant looked confused “Um, but…” his eyes darted to Odysseus again. But he would find no help there.

“You heard the Queen.” He said plainly and the servant flinched and scampered off like he’d screamed. “What are you doing?” He asked once he was gone, because he was just as confused

“I don’t know what you mean.” Penelope lied easily “Surely you heard my proclamation in the throne room. Whoever can string my husband’s old bow—“

“I am your husband.” He reminded her, sharper than he meant

“That’s not what you said.” She reminded him playfully. Completely at ease with him in a way no one had been in nearly a decade “You told me “I am not your kind and gentle husband.” Don’t tell me your memory is failing you in your old age.”

He went to say something but all that came was a little pained groan.

“You should be careful with such declarations. You’ve created two, equally awkward, possibilities. One, that you are the man I married, and thus a king. And when a king declares himself unmarried—well, I’ll spare you the details but suffice to say it gets old real fast. The other is that you are not my husband, but a different man entirely. In which case the only way for you to become a king is to marry me.”

“You told me not to say—“

“That was after you’d already declared you were not my husband. Marrying you resolves both potential issues quite handily.” Penelope countered, and took his face in her hands “And besides, clearly the matter weighs on you somewhat. As your wife, it would please me to take this burden from your mind. Regardless as to whether I am now or am about to be.”

Odysseus’s heart sang inside the cage of his chest. He turned his head and kissed her palm “Heh. Well in that case, I’d better go and find some place to sleep for the night.” He said, crawling out of the bed “It’s bad luck for the bride and groom to see each—oof!”

Penelope wrapped her arms (much stronger than you’d expect from a woman her age) around him and held him very tightly to her chest.

“No.”

“ Hermes is a momma’s boy !! ” ??

Babe, where??? In what hymn?? In what plane of delusion??

Touch some epithets.

Maia raised him for five minutes and then he immediately sprinted into the world to make sure Daddy Zeus noticed him.

Did we read Hymn 4 to Hermes? Because he basically looks at Zeus like ‘‘Dad. Daddy. Pater. Father. Pops. Look what I made. A lyre. And a crime!’’ and Zeus goes ‘‘aw you little shit’’ and immediately adopts him into the pantheon like it’s Bring Your Son to Work Day. And suddenly Hermes has a job, a house, and immunity from prosecution.

HE IS A DADDY’S BOY.

He’s the blueprint for daddy’s boys.

He is the president of the Daddy’s Boy Club.

He straight-up looked Zeus in the eye and said: ‘‘Hey, I made music, lied, stole, and got away with it all before my first tooth came in. Can I be your errand boy?’’ And Zeus is eating it up. Giggling. Encouraging. Enabling. Like that’s my boy.

Meanwhile Maia’s just in that cave like, ‘‘Do I get anything out of this??’’ and Hermes is halfway to the Underworld already.

Put some respect on his winged sandals.
