wow some actual art here's Eros

[bugwolfsstuff]

Does Cupid shooting Apollo with a love arrow and Daphne with a hate arrow in the myth (that i'm displeased to find out is Ovid's version) not make Apollo also kinda a victim too?

one shaft that rouses love and one that routs it. The first gleams bright with piercing point of gold; the other, cull and blunt is tipped with lead. This one he lodged in Nympha Peneis' [Daphne's] heart; the first he shot to pierce Apollo to the marrow. At once he loves; she flies the name of love, delighting in the forest's depths, and trophies of the chase, a Nympha to vie with heaven's virgin huntress Phoebe [Artemis];

.............

And Venus' [Aphrodite's] son [Eros] replied : ‘Your bow, Phoebus, may vanquish all, but mine shall vanquish you. As every creature yields to power divine, so likewise shall your glory yield to mine.’

—Ovid, Metamorphoses 

Like...does that not mean Cupid's arrows overide all other feelings and therefore make Apollo an unwilling participant here?

Not to say Daphne also wasnt a victim, she definetly was but it seems it was non-consensual for both parties?

silly thing I made for Eros ♥

[mytelltaleheartt]

Cleaned and reorganised my altars. Still not that great, but definitely a big improvement and I think it looks kinda cool

[mytelltaleheartt]

I was using my pendulum to ask if any of the deities I worship would like anything specific as offerings or altar decorations, besides the things I already knew.

Cupid asked for almonds and it threw me off so bad because that’s such a random thing and nowhere near what I’d expect from him.

I’m just finding it funny atp but I go to the pantry just to check anyways, and then I find this massive fucking jar of almonds.

Lucky him I suppose 😭

Fun fact my PFP is from this :) tgese are some silly little deity gods i have

Sapie: basically sandman, like, sprikle dust in your eyes and you sleep really good and all thoae little things

Quepite: basically cupid, though its not like, instant love or anything, he basically makes people get crushes and reinforces already there feelings

Karme: karma, he makes pillows warm or cold depending on what type of karma you're getting, little inconveniences or conveniences based on good or bad karma, stuff like making one of your shies tied tighter, or if its good karma, toed just right, etc etc

Lowke: lil deoty of lucky charms lolol. Lucky pennies, coins, crystals, pair of shoes, etc etc. Any little object someone can consider their lucky item, he embues with actual luck. It keeps things like tripping over your own feet from happening as much, or you have a good hair day, etc etc he and Karme work together sometimes to achieve lucky outcomes for good karma people

Pathe: theyre the newest one and basically leads paths to good outcomes? Like, youre lost in a forest and you see a little twinkle out of the corner of your eye, you follow it, and you find yourself out of the forest type of stuff. They can lead you to good decisions and stuff too. Idk i cant remember my original ramble on what they do cause theyre new lolol 😅

But ye little sillies
