I think there should be content of Zephyrus being Psyche's platonic male bestie

#He's more than Hyacinthus's killer. He's more than just a jealous god. He's more than that one myth. He can be kind. He was KNOWN to be kind #zephyrus #psyche #eros and psyche #greek gods #greek mythology #greek myth

Maybe the reason I tended to go with the version of Psamathe's story where she had some very unwanted intercourse in the shape of a seal is because of how cleanly it parallels Thetis's story, down to the fact the fathers of their children are so closely related

but then again there are pretty key differences, no one, certainly no god, told Aeacus he had to be with Psamathe, unlike how Peleus was explicitly ordered to marry Thetis, and obviously their respective sons could not be more different.

Should I just go with the Hesiod version that claims they were "joined in love through Aphrodite"?

#Blanche of Lancaster swan : Thomas Holland frog #I just realized I'm shipping cousincest marriages over the class difference fairytale romances WTF is wrong with me 😭 I usually hate incest #But in my defense Richard II mogs all the Hollands while Philippa & Henry IV mog all the Beauforts.

RIP Germanicus & Agrippina the Elder's entire bloodline

9 children... 2 grandchildren (1 who was murdered as a baby, the other who was the evilest Julio-Claudian Emperor)... they deserved so much better :(

Still wondering who is the mother of Daedalion and Ceyx

According to Hyginus, her name is Philonis, but no other surviving source names her.

There are no surviving myths about her.

Eleanor of Aquitaine fans/defenders are the fakest ass feminists out there.

this woman was the definition of luck but her influence gets hyped up despite her enabling her rapist youngest son, allowing him to murder her 16 year old grandson Arthur (who's birthright she encouraged John to steal), and imprison her granddaughter Eleanor of Brittany for life because she also had a more rightful claim.

The way she just allowed John to end her late son Geoffrey's bloodline like that (after he named his firstborn in her honor) is disgusting.

Richard II having to bury his mother beside her first husband instead of his father & Henry IV never getting the chance to bury his father alongside his mother :(

It must've sucked for both of them

Philippa Gregory is writing a book on Eleanor Cobham…

Henry VI I’m so sorry 😭 I know you did Eleanor dirty but you don’t deserve this, you’ve suffered enough

…Jacqueline of Hainault is also going to be portrayed as a major bitch to “justify” Humphrey leaving her for Eleanor isn’t she 😔

It’s unsettling and a bit creepy that Æthelred the Unready renamed Emma of Normandy to the Saxon name (similarly to how Edith of Scotland would later rename herself Matilda to fit in better with her husband’s people the Normans) Ælfgifu, which was also the name of his first wife.

#It’s no wonder she hated that man #aethelred the unready #aethelred II #emma of normandy #house of wessex #english history #history

What's Persephone relationship with dionysus considering he was her son at one point?

Idk tbh.

I refuse to consider Dionysus her son and prefer to ignore Zagreus's existence.

The Zeus/Persephone incest rape-conception in Orphic myth is revolting, keep that fatherdaughter shit far away from me.

Celebrity ex-relationship so private there are only there are only 15 16 images of them together on the entire internet

#Isabelle is loyal AF her sunglasses 😭 hiding her pretty eyes in 14/15 of these pictures #It's a shame these two insanely talented actors never made a film together & their only collaboration project was Gabe Day-Lewis #I would have never believed they were even together let alone for 6 years if it weren't for them having a whole child together as proof #I hate how he treated her but... they were just so stunning together I wish there were more photos of their joint slay #daniel day lewis #isabelle adjani #celebrity couples #famous people

Twitter discourse has pissed me off and I am once again reminded that Medusa didn't deserve what happened to her despite being born a monster nor would she have been in the wrong if she had successfully killed Perseus after he attacked her to save her own life.

If my estranged wife tried to visit me in France but I left by the time she got there only for her to get sick and die, I would never want to look our daughter in the eye and explain myself either (but still, screw John for being a deadbeat, I’m so pissed for Frances she deserved better wdym he chose to never meet her but she still named her son after him?! 💔)

William Henry Harrison was the OG example of why "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" is a terrible defense for racism.
