Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.

So you know.

This might be the real one, y’all.

I made some fanart of Billy :D

Was Nerites a lover of Aphrodite?

Could be a dumb question but the story I’ve heard when I was researching sea deities in Greek mythology. when I saw nerites and saw Hesiod’s story about him, the theoi’s translation was “ Doris the daughter of Oceanus bore fifty daughters, The Nereads, to Nereus the sea-god, whom to this day we always hear of as truthful and unlying. Homer also mentions them in his poems. But they do not state that one son was born after all that number of daughters, though he is celebrated in mariners' tales. And they say that he was named Nerites and was the most beautiful of men and gods; also that Aphrodite delighted to be with Nerites in the sea and loved him. And when the fated time arrived, at which, at the bidding of Zeus, the Father of the gods, Aphrodite also had to be enrolled among the Olympians, I have heard that she ascended and wished to bring her companion and play-fellow. But the story goes that he refused, preferring life with his sisters and parents to Olympus. And then he was permitted to grow wings: this, I imagine, was a gift from Aphrodite. But even this favor he counted as nothing. And so the daughter of Zeus was moved to anger and transformed his shape into a shell, and of her own accord chose in his place for her attendant and servant Eros, who also was young and beautiful, and to him she gave the wings of Nerites.” Everyone saying that he’s a lover of Aphrodite but he doesn’t seem to have stated to have been in a romantic relationship with Aphrodite. He seems to be the first crush Aphrodite had and when he rejected her gift, it was like rejecting her affections and that’s why he was turned into a snail/shrimp. Am I interpreting this wrong and I’m just dumb or??? Is there an alternate translation on this story besides the ones with Poseidon. just the Aphrodite ones? because this translation of Hesiod’s tale seems to be implying that they were childhood playmates with one of them having a one-sided(?) crush on the other. Is there any other translation for this myth that says they’re specifically lovers? or is being a lover of Aphrodite just means that she has a crush on you?

Who else things Wanda is overhyped?

I love the scarlet witch as much as the next guy but some(some not all) of her so called “stans” are getting really annoying. Every time I see an argument about the strongest avenger(both comics and MCU) They say it’s the scarlet witch (I don’t disagree with the MCU bit) but they keep bringing up her “no more mutants feat” and the HoM storyline AND THEN proceed claim that they read the comics like bruh. Why didn’t you bring up her 2016 solo series? or Avengers disassembled? Avengers vs X-men? Children’s Crusade? HoM isn’t the only comic she’s in. Like I get it, you like her ( I don’t have a problem with that) but at least don’t over exaggerate her capabilities like she’s some Mary sue who doesn’t have a human body.

and before any of you claim me a hater, she’s my favorite female superhero and her son as my fav male hero(I literally read all the comics he was in as soon as I found out he was gay and the son of the scarlet witch). I just got cranky because most of her fans are 9 year olds claiming to read comics but only watched a 30 minute long video explaining her powers, completely ignoring her flaws and weaknesses.

Wandavision spoilers

Just me sharing my thoughts and connecting similar details in wandavision with the comics.

I think the concept of Agatha’s ability to steal magic came from the 2016 Scarlet Witch solo series. Where we are introduced to the Emerald Warlock, a warlock who is displayed to drain magic (like what he did to Ireland, attempted at wanda-making her age-just like in Wandavision, and what I assumed he did to hekate)

Wanda also was able to defeat the Emerald Warlock by being clever and uno-reverse-carded him by stealing his powers instead of him stealing hers just like what she did to Agatha in Wandavision.

Can we also mention the fact that MCU Baron Mordo and MCU Agatha are both stealing other mages’ magic? pretty sus but I don’t think it’s connected just a weird coincidence.

Note: I actually screamed “THE RUNES” at 10 PM when Wanda “missed” and hit the hex’s wall--because I re-read both the 2016 Vision and the 2016 Scarlet Witch solo series when Wandavision aired and it reminded of this scene^

Can someone expain to me why Ebony is alive in Strange Academy when Agatha like killed him back in the 2016 Vision series???

Theory with a bit of spoilers

I was just about to sleep then I remembered that it’s possible for either both Ghost rider, Blade and a very powerful witch to be the mysterious cameo since

#wandavison spoilers #wandavision #marvel #vision #wanda maximoff #ghost rider #mcu #billy kaplan #tommy shepherd

Okay I have a theory. Remember when Agatha said she killed Sparky? How though? Now go back to the time when she claimed that sparky "ate" those poisonous flowers.

This really reminds me of #3 of the 2016 Vision comic( A comic that heavily influenced WandaVision), Where Agatha feeds her cat( Ebony, her familiar) a petal of a flower, then proceeds to kill Ebony, eat a petal of the flower and then eats Ebony's stomach to see into the future.

Maybe she killed Sparky so she can do something similar but not in the exact same way she killed Ebony cuz that's too dark for Disney or maybe it was just a way to see if Wanda can really bring back the dead and I'm just reaching here becuz episode 7 is making me panic over the twins.

And I'm 50% sure that that book was the Darkhold or at least a copy of it since Agents of SHIELD really isn't part of the canon anymore.

Edit: I think Agatha isn't completely doing this on her own free will or at least not doing this for selfish reasons. Agatha wasn't inherently evil in the comics, more morally gray. She does things for what she believes is necessary for the greater good. She aged pretty well over the years, from a witch who would sacrifice the entire human race for the superhuman race to a teacher at a magical superhero school filled with fairies and witches.

I am either suspecting Chthon to be the bad guy if the book really is the darkhold while the cicada gives me Nightmare vibes because of it's green and black colouring and it's introduction was horror-movie like. But It's more likely to be mephisto since he's being hinted at more than the other two candidates.
