The 6 Levels Of Gift Shopping Hell.

[anice-meme]

Some meduka + text posts here u gO

Story concept: an orphanage/group home for chosen ones whose families were killed by ~destiny~

[xenosaurus]

It’s run by a chosen heroine whose adventure was 2 decades ago and the sweet team-mom healer from her team, who she has since married.

[xenosaurus]

It’s mostly trope comedy with moments of real emotion, here are some ideas for kids:

—two teenaged boys who WERE barreling towards a tragic rivalry that ends in one of them falling to darkness… until one of them confessed that he was just trying to show off because he has a crush on the other one. They’re now dating and the comedy comes from the universe CONSTANTLY trying to get them to fight and failing.

—an eight year old who keeps tattling on the demons who are whispering to her and then getting into sibling fights with them

—a brooding, edgy fire-wielding boy and a brooding, edgy fire-wielding girl who can’t figure out which mystical signs belong to who

—like six kids named Hope who go by names like “Pink Hope”, “Hope the second” and “I’ve been told I’m not allowed to shorten my name to ‘Ho’ so I will now be going by Dick just to spite them”

[xenosaurus]

IDK if I’m going to write this but it’s fun to worldbuild so here’s some more!

The two fire kids have a big age gap, with the girl being 10 and the boy being 17. They spend so much time together trying to untangle their destinies that they wind up developing a brother-sister relationship. The girl is one of the Hopes and the boy’s name is Fox, which results in the following exchange being commonplace.

A: so then Hope—

B: which Hope?

A: oh, baby fox.

[xenosaurus]

Oh, character consolidation idea: Fox is also one of the boys who dodged a fatal rivalry, obviously being the ‘tempted to the dark side’ half of the equation. His full name is Foxglove, and his boyfriend’s name is Raven. Raven is the one to confess and Fox was so shocked he needed to sit down for like 5 minutes to re-evaluate his entire perspective on reality.

[xenosaurus]

Fox is the EPITOME of “oh shit, I didn’t hate him, I was just gay.”

Fox two years ago: Whenever he laughs I get all sweaty and agitated, and that stupid ‘oh look at me I’m so handsome’ grin is so obnoxious it bothers me for hours after I have talk to the guy! God, Raven’s the worst.

Fox now: yeah, turns out the only thing I hated about Raven is that he wasn’t kissing me right that second

[xenosaurus]

The owner’s wife is a subversion on the “cute, sweet, gentle healer love interest who dies in act 2” trope, and her name is Maribelle. She’s just under five feet tall and built like somebody replaced all her bones with toothpicks— she’s TINY.

She is also, as the villain discovered in spectacularly violent fashion when he kidnapped her, the most dangerous member of the party by far.

Because she ISN’T a cleric and she wasn’t using light magic at all. She uses raw magic, which is a rare talent for humans because it’s hard to control and tends to destroy the weirder before their enemies. Maribelle’s love for her friends was LITERALLY the source of her healing magic, because she uses her emotions to shape her spells.

On the other side of that, the emotions associated with trapping her and threatening to kill her girlfriend? She WRECKED him and took the whole hideout down in the process.

[xenosaurus]

OKAY I named the woman who runs the place, her name is Summer!

A lot of people just know her as “the farner’s daughter” because her particular journey of heroics started with a prophecy that said a farmer’s eldest daughter would bring about the death of the tyrannical king. Which, uh, she did, except that it was Maribelle who killed the guy in Summer’s defense.

A prophet rolls in on wheely shoes with a starbucks Frappuccino: IT TECHNICALLY WASN’T WRONG!

Shenanigans at Mount Olympus

[antibutch-deactivated20180507]

Thats what happened in canon.

[magical-girl-kyra]

Depends on the canon.  There are versions where Hephaestus was born to Hera alone, similar to how Zeus “gave birth” to Athena.  Then when Hephaestus tried to protect Hera from Zeus’s advance, the skygod hurled him off of Olympus

[lawful-evil-novelist]

I think it’s pretty striking that the version where Zeus throws Hephaestus not only makes more sense considering Hera’s traditional traits, it is also not the Athenian version.  It is part of the Spartan mythology, as Sparta had a much more favorable view on Hera (who had a very good relationship with their patron gods, Ares and Enyo, as Ares was her son and Enyo was her daughter-in-law).

Like Athens had a pretty vested interest in never showing anyone but like, Athena and Zeus in a positive light.  I have at least 7 separate rants about how the Athenian depictions of Ares and his wife Enyo are just Athenian propaganda against the Spartans because Ares and Enyo embodied a lot of Spartan ideals about masculinity and femininity (particularly devotion to family, which the Athenians did not believe was a man’s job, and respect for women as equals, as the Athenians believed women to be subhuman) and even more striking, Ares and Enyo had married for love, which most Athenians thought was a completely frivolous practice.

Hera has the same demonization in the Athenian canon, because her traditional trait of being jealous, to the Athenians, was unreasonable, because Zeus was a king.  They also believed that her hatred for his actual born out of wedlock children was unreasonable.  Considering other Greek city-states made it very clear that Zeus was abusive towards Ares and Hephaestus, more so than his other children, many of whom he doted on.  I think a pretty telling thing is that Hera got extremely mad at Zeus when Ares demanded Heracles be punished for literally killing his son and Zeus said the basic equivalent of “You’re my least favorite and Heracles is my favorite so no.”  In most versions, i.e. Spartan and non-Athenian states, Zeus’s reasoning is seen as backwards and wrong, Athens sees it as totally fine and reasonable of good Zeus.

I think it’s important to keep in mind that during the time of the Greeks, the Athenians were hated by a large portion of the other Greek city-states because of how rude and capricious they were.

Also side note Nemesis fucking hated Zeus no matter the mythology so I think when the goddess of revenge thinks someone’s a dick it might be a good idea to agree with that.

[jhameia]

I’ve never heard of Ares and Enyo being married before… is there a good text discussing comparative depictions of them?

today i got some columbian food in the back of a haunted mall how was everyone else’s day

[sameboot]

ok i will tell the tale

so im taking this spanish class, spanish professor wanted us to go out to eat to practice. im all prepared, i punch in the address and drive 2 the place. turns out this place isnt really a restaurant so much as it is a small habitable zone at the back of a vast, empty mall

there was dead silence and darkness. 90% of the outlets were shut down and blocked off

it was 2 o’clock on a Saturday, but this mall was COMPLETELY barren. an air of powerful curses hung in the air. none of the escalators were working, i had to hike up one like stairs

of course once i got to the restaurant i had a nice time and some p good food and a guy with a saxophone serenaded us with covers of pop hits

my freinds, it was surreal

[sameboot]

so my plans got really mixed up today and i decided to revisit the cursed mall while i was in the area! it seems things have gotten even stranger

for the most part, it is still the creepy empty mall it has always been. but this time even less stores were open, even the columbian restaurant was closed.

the food court, which was slightly open before, was utterly barren, and for some reason slightly sped-up mexican sounding music played over the completely empty venue

this was a particularly strange outlet, where instead of the remains of a store, there was a neatly set up classroom in the display window

[sameboot]

oh

[incartis]

you’ve crossed into a place untouched by mortals and you need to avoid this place, or else the next time you enter that place, you may never return

[h-eckers]

No one talks about how seeing celebrities in real life breaks your brain.

For example, a few days ago, at a nice little bakery near Byron Bay, I ordered an iced latte and stepped to the side to wait, I was one of only a two or three people in line. A few moments later everyone else has their drinks, and a gentleman walks up to the counter with his wife and his dog.

It’s a cute dog, it’s a beautiful lady, it’s a handsome man.

Wait, that’s not a handsome man.

That’s a handsome Chris Hemsworth.

It occurs to me that this man is, in fact, the god of thunder, the cute dumb possessed one from ghostbusters, the huntsman from that one Snow White remake with Bella from twilight. Yes, that is Chris Hemsworth.

Now, I’m torn because while the counter staff are (understandably) fawning over the celebrity who they seem to have encountered a few times before, my iced latte has been forgotten. I’m standing to the side, two feet from Chris Hemsworth trying to decide wether to focus on him, or his dog.

His back is to me, he has a very cute dog.

I focus on the dog.

A while passes and Chris and his dog and his wife start to leave, and then they’re walking away which is fine. A lady behind the counter looks at me.

“You had the latte?” She says, grabbing the milk jug from under the steamer.

“Iced latte.” Her coworker corrects her, pouring my drink, “I’ve got it.”

He looks to me, “sorry for the wait, we were a bit disracted.”

“Yeah, I get it,” I say, “that was a really cute dog.”

They stare at me.

They think I’m serious.

I look like a fool.

“I’m kidding.” I say finally and they both laugh as he hands me my beverage, after fifteen minutes of waiting.

I wasn’t mad that I had to wait.

I get it.

But now, a few days later, a gif crosses my dash, one of Chris Hemsworth; a blooper from Thor: Ragnarok.

Before now I’d think “wow what an attractive man. Beautiful. Stunning.”

Now all I can think is “that man made me wait fifteen minutes for a latte.”

It’s fine.

I got my drink.

However, Thor in my mind is no longer Thor…. he is latte man.

My mom just told me you’re not a woman until you get blood on nearly every pair of pants you love. I was like, “what if you don’t have periods?” And she said “I didn’t say it had to be your own.”

[livingdeadpoetssociety]

I thought this was going to be cissexist and I was pleasantly surprised.

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

all you young anime fans with your attack on titans and your maid dragons will never know the sheer hell of the time The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya went in to a time loop story arc and made the same episode 8 times and broadcast that same episode 8 weeks in a row

they didn’t just air the same episode eight times

they made the same episode 8 times in slightly different ways

different camera angles, different shots, different outfits

eight times

eight weeks

the same episode

[shrineart]

this is a bit of anime history that i’ve never heard before but sounds horrendous.
