Perverts is officially out. Thank you so much to Matthew Tomasi for his drums on Vacillator (and the boom on Amber Waves), Angel Diaz for the lapsteel and baritone guitar on Punish that makes my world go round, the upright bass on Onanist, and that lapsteel and e-piano also on Amber Waves, Madeline Johnston for her heavenly metal on Amber Waves (a track she served as an intense inspiration for), and Bryan De Leon for his acoustic stylings on Etienne. Y’all make my world go round.

I’d also like to think the natural drone music that exists everywhere in this world, in transformer boxes and powerlines on the side of the highway, in the radio static of an empty AM frequency, in the fan of my computer as my Ableton project files overloaded the CPU, and in the distant roar of the interstate on the other side of my favorite field. I love you, sound, you have always been there for me.

Thank you for listening, I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I lo

You cannot tell me after this episode that P isn’t a Mary Sue… It took 6 gods years to defeat Kronos yet she was able to do it all herself? Also where did those reporters come from - literally everyone was asleep in the Underworld.

[missfester]

You know what? I have a death wish, but I also have no vigor left in me - why do all the characters from that one series look like this?

Sorry if you like it, it's just... Well, I'm allowed to critique something that's making absolute bank.

I think..some nymphs..need to be put in their place-

Nymph racism isnt a thing-- its classicism if anything.

But also. Sometimes nymphs are annoying as fuck, fucking around with Gods and think they wont get their life snatched.

Friggin-- KNOW YOUR PLACE DAMN--

[cakelovemail-deactivated2024070]

yeah no thats racism. and also weird. “know your place” just got shifted back to 1960’s

[jennrypan]

They arent real, also its classism mostly-- Not that deep.

Also "of course its jennrypan" wheeze

Am I famous on here for bein 'rabid'?? I hope so

[cakelovemail-deactivated2024070]

famous? in your wet dreams, maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[glooaam]

did some people forget that fantasy racism is a thing, and has been for a long time? if you find that a story (and yourself) are constantly demeaning a group/race of beings, especially when they’re simply existing, there is very likely fantasy racism at play.

not to mention the intersection between class and race like come on 😭😭

Nitpicking art is one thing... it’s another when the characters facial features/structure, height, body shape, body type, color, etc. change several times in an episode or throughout the series. It’s straight up inconsistency. Just because someone’s art style changes and evolves doesn’t excuse the characters appearance changing on a regular basis.

[glooaam]

Bringing this back because I see too many people on and off this platform that come up with inane excuses for inconsistent art.

Underworld manufactures cigarettes, ergo, processes tobacco.

Hades uses unpaid, involuntary labor.

🤔

Credit to my friend @auraonloreolympus for finding this… disturbing connection.

[blinday]

Lol what would YOU have the sould do AND be productive? Yeah, Hades is SO horrible for finding use in shades that otherwise would be devoured or sent to suffer by the tartarus.

Such a monstrocity.

[liperium]

Uhhh, first of all, how are you gon' have on your blog that you don't tolerate anti content and then involve yourself in it? It's tagged correctly too, so don't pull the, "it's tagged as lore olympus" card, you just like to stir drama w/ ppl who have nothing to do with you, admit it. And secondly, are you seriously defending slavery? ☠️ Sounds about white. Please get gone and stay that way. You weren't welcomed here. Shoo.

[blinday]

So funny that I say a god using the creatures created by his fellow gods as unpaid labour isn't a monstrocity and then boom, I'm tagged as a slavery apologist. You guys do like to escalate things, huh? I won't dive into the lore, but if mortals are, for gods, like little lego dolls, I don't see why the escalation.

Also, I very often use tags as 'anti anti something' as a pun, since I don't want to tag just said anti thing. Just to clarify the confusion. I don't think you're gonna find any Blindays besides me either, lol.

And it's pretty fascinating that no one even thinks of checking the background. Latina, in one of the most mixed countries in the world.

[glooaam]

Gods taking advantage of other beings for no compensation, is in fact, bad.

Your ethnicity isn’t anywhere on your blog, not to mention that white latinas exist.

[hortensius-deactivated20240909]

as you might know i am fairly neutral on the matter of retellings and i only watch commercial Feminist Retellings TM from afar because they are not quite the kind of dialogue with the ancient i am interested in, but i Do have an active concern about them, which is that my impression is that they often come from a position of arrogance and unwillingness to listen to what the ancient has to say. the core assumption is that the ancient has nothing more to say as it is. the core assumption is that ancient stories about ancient women need to be reworded, reframed, transformed for us to be able to connect with them. that horror and violence have no place in these stories. as if the modern world didn’t know any helen, any persephone, any philomela and procne, any arethusa, any cyane and so on. engaging with the ancient means picking up a millennia-long thread. if you cut it, you are either doing something revolutionary or something deeply meaningless.

Can hagfish be the next underrated animal that gains unexpected popularity? I just really like them

[headspace-hotel]

[glooaam]

Idk who needs to hear this, but critiquing a work that markets itself as feminist when it isn’t *is not misogynistic*. Like please direct that energy towards the Perse super-stans that are actively misogynistic towards the other female characters.

That being said, if you’re at all curious about a critique or want someone to elaborate more, just ask!

[unfriendlyenergy-deactivated202]

it's so wild to me how many ppl, mostly white and even more so white women, have made it some kind of social crime to talk abt disliking things. the whole "if u don't like, don't read/watch/etc" is just extremely pathetic to me like they have so little personality that these pieces of media that they mangle for easy fandom-based consumption become the center of their identity and ppl disliking it feels like a personal attack. nobody needs a reason to justify disliking something but even when there are ample reasons to hate a piece of media (racism, transmisogyny, or something of that sort at its core) those freaks act like it can still be "enjoyed critically" despite the fact that any critical thinking and basic morals would make it impossible to enjoy. they grasp at straws trying to find any excuse to justify their fucked up dependency and it's wild. insane even.

[unfriendlyenergy-deactivated202]

no more "is this about [x]" comments i made this post abt white ppl and anyone who adopts their fucked in the head way of thinking not just one specific fandom/media. this is white culture criticism.

[glooaam]

(TW mention of SA)

The whole trial so far has been all over the place but I really don’t like how rachel is using the SA plot to distract from Persephone murdering and cursing people.

[glooaam]

(TW mention of SA and spoiler warning for fast pass)

After this I don’t want anyone to say that the author isn’t using SA to push the two main characters together cause wtf was this.

If anything this is another example of hades not being the perfect ‘gentleman’ that people love to paint him as. Like what provokes someone to ask that question out of the blue, especially to someone you really just met 3 weeks ago. Also what “genuine connection” is she talking about? He was blackout drunk…

Edit: Also yet another display of how Persephone barely has any autonomy in this story.

[glooaam]

Did Rachel forget her own timeline? Everyone besides Hermes and Ares knew Persephone for ~3-4 weeks, *not months*.

It’s taken ~44 weeks to progress less than 3 days in the story. Based on the last arc with the arrow, I can tell the trial is going to be unsatisfying, and possibly poorly executed.
