How would the Greek Gods react if they read the "Percy Jackson" series?

Hell if I know. I haven't read the series, nor do I plan to.

I will always like crunchy peanut butter more than creamy.

One day I will be old and have false teeth and then it will be easier to eat my bread with creamy peanut butter, but I will still like the crunchy version more.

That's it. Have a nice evening.

[mythologyfolklore]

Desolée, je parle un tres, tres petit peux de français, mais j'essaierai.

Vali, about to slay Höðr: What, aren't you gonna put up a fight or something? I mean, just because you're blind doesn't mean- Höðr, seriously suicidal: Yeah, I could, but the last time I touched something close to a weapon, I accidentally killed my beloved twin-brother. I neither want nor deserve to live anymore. Vali: ... I'm just gonna kill you now.

Story idea, where all the gods exist, but religions all over the world have gotten them all wrong and the gods withdrew from the human world, because they got sick of it.

They have international god meetings, where they talk smack, diplomatics and politics and whether or not they should return to the human world.

Uhm, can others not see my newest posts right now or is it just me?

[mythologyfolklore]

Completely frustrated, because I want to draw my version of God.

But even if the heat wasn't killing me rn, the image I have in my head can't be captured with my meager drawing skills.

When an artist shares their work for free online, it can be easy to assume the art is free for everyone else to use too. So you grab it and include it in your own project, and all of a sudden an artist is mad at you, their fans are calling you out, you’re getting threatened with legal action—or even scarier, the artist’s publisher is threatening you with legal action. One-shot comics and minicomics are especially susceptible to this misunderstanding because often they are seen as viral memes instead of art, or treated as public property. But is this really the case? This guide will help you navigate using art you’ve found online. We’ll start with three basic questions: 1. Do I need to ask permission from the artist? 2. Do I need to give credit to the artist? 3. Do I need to pay the artist? After that, we’ll offer some tips on how to approach the artist.

I wrote an article for Cartoonists United! CU has a great collection of resources to help the art community, and I was really excited to contribute.

If you don't know whether it's safe to use a piece of art you found online, if you don't know how to ask permission to use art, and if you are unsure of how to approach artists, read the article!

And if you're an artist who frequently finds your work being used without permission, spread this around so more people know the etiquette around using art online!

So I got bored and ended up making one of these things

(I love ship bingos but this one caters to my shipper mindset specifically—)

If you’d like you can send me a ship in cause I just wanna be silly and sappy and just yap

(Also this is free to use if any of you want 👍)

Edit: As a result of having to block a few icky ass people I would like to emphasize this is of free use to everyone except pr*shippers y’all can get the fuck out

*1916 in France, Archangels Azrael & Samael are reaping the deaths of the Battle of the Somme* Azrael: This is awful! I'm going to be sick! Samael: Eh, by now this is just a Tuesday for me. Azrael: Sammy! Samael: *frustrated* Alright, fine, you're right. This 'Great War' is fucked. I've never seen so many fall in battle in such a short time and it's getting to me. I saw a few Valkyries reaping German soldiers earlier. They looked shell-shocked, can you imagine? Viking grim reapers! Shell-shocked! It's that bad! Azrael: Do you know, who won? Samael: In reality? No one. Typical humans, killing each other for nothing. Anyway, I'm taking these souls to Sheol, until Michael picks them up- Azrael: No! I'm taking them to Heaven with me now! *cradles the souls gently and protectively* Samael: *weary* Fine. Have it your way, Azzy. I haven't had a moment's rest in years, I'm tired.

Huaguang Dadi: Remember. More espresso, less depresso! Yuebei Xing: *Chugs a cup of offee* I still depress but now I'm fast,

Huaguang: Hah! I'm faster!

*and then they raced across China*

[mythologyfolklore]

Yuebei Xing: Ayo, what the FUCK is this?!? Huaguang Dadi, sitting down, surrounded by corpses: I won Mafia, that’s what.

Eh, it's the Chinese mafia, so he'd do the population a favour.

Leuke: *is just minding her own business being a dead Okeanid turned white poplar* Persephone: .... Persephone: I wanna uproot that tree. Hades: *sighs* Honey, no. She's already dead.

Ma'at: So the other day I sent Thoth out to get us some lamp oil. Ma'at: And instead of getting lamp oil, he got us novelty cookie cutters. Ma'at: Now everything we eat is shaped like a dinosaur. Ma'at: … Ma'at: I love him so much.

That's cute.

I wonder why Set got demonized after Upper and Lower Egypt separated.

National trauma from a few too many invasions, probably.

Liu Chenxiang: You know, when I first met you I thought you were a real bitch. Huaguang Dadi: What changed your mind? Liu Chenxiang: Oh, now I know that you’re a fake bitch. Why do you ask?

Liu Chenxiang takes no prisoners. He just goes straight in for the kill.
