fieldofheathers-stuff answered your question “Is it just me, and my mind muddled by the too frequent use of English...”

La dolce lingua di Dante e del Petrarca non è stata fatta per dire QUELLE COSE SPORCACCIONE, VALERIA, CREDEVO CHE ORMAI FOSSE CHIARO [risata maniacale da oh-mio-dio-cosa-ho-fatto]

Hehehe... Peraltro uno potrebbe sostenere che la lingua in cui Guccio Imbratta tenta di sedurre la Nuta si presti bene a descrivere roba simile! Tu, cara mia, hai creato un mostro!

For the siblings meme: Zeus's children b/c I'm a little shit (✿ꈍ。 ꈍ✿)

meme: Send me a set of siblings and I’ll tell you@fieldofheathers-stuff

Little shit? Far from it! I love mythology, Greek mythology is something I was a huge nerd about during high school! XD

The issue with Zeus’ children is that there are enough of them for three memes! (Oooh, I get why the “shit” part now…) So I’ll keep to the “divine” ones and only the ones Zeus had with Hera. Moreover I shall cruelly exclude Ilithyia and Hebe (even though I do not go by the lettuce myth usually).This leaves us with Ares, Hephaestus and Eris.

1. Who was dropped on their head as a child:Canonically Hephaestus was (ok.. leg. Still: leg, torso, head, when you fall for days the head is bound to hit the ground!) even though, I would guess that probably Ares too received a similar treatment. After all Athena brained him with a boulder, still that happened when he was all grown up, so..  2. Who dropped them. Hera dropped Hephaestus because he was deformed, straight down from the Olympus so I can only guess that either he had a hell of a stroke of luck or a very hard head. it is also true he is said to have fallen into the ocean, but that would have hardly helped since water is dense and he is said to have fallen for days, so he must have reached terminal velocity.3. Who reaches things on the tallest cabinet.Ares, still Eris hasn’t lost hope to make Hephaestus try and compete for such honour with him yet. To her chagrin Hephaestus just becomes extremely passive-aggressive after she has talked herself hoarse and Ares has a strange, almost superstitious respect for him.. She tries though, it’s her job, after all. 4. Who forgets to flush the toilet.Ares does and sort of admits to it. Eris never forgets to flush the toilet, she purposefully never flushes it, sometimes taking care to “readjust the plumbings” so that they may pour waste water back in and then enjoys the show. Hephaestus has crafted his own robotic toilet that follows him around, it’s especially constructed to swat at Eris every time she is nearby. She is annoyed, but oddly admired, even more admired precisely because she is annoyed. 5. Who starts fights.Is it a serious question?All three of them!Hephaestus does it in a passive aggressive way that is aimed at attracting sympathies and mainly consists of sulking while his new toy punishes the guilty ones. Ares does it by … whatever means necessary. Usually, though, he prefers the “running straight at you while screaming” approach.Last, but not the least: Eris, who does it best. 6. Who ends them.Usually the whole Olympus is forced to hold a meeting in which all gods desperately try to pacify whoever started this. In the case of something Eris started, though, not even this works. Becase when she starts something the chaos only ends when all participants are either dead or so utterly spent and ruined that they do not have any will to fight left. She is the professional. 7. Who is the rebel child.Define ‘rebel child’.On one hand Hephaestus could be considered one, because he has a steady job, and is quite adjusted (until he gets drunk and tries to have sex with Athena, but that was only once!). On the other Eris is quite a … an interesting character and not always the most beloved one among her peers. In one mythos she even assists Typhon in his fight against Zeus. Even though in the Omeric hymn Typhon is also said to have been the rage-child of Hera so… I guess she was supporting a sibling? No, most definitely not.  8. Who is more likely to cover for whom.Hephaestus is sick and tired of things being covered up, particularly the very instant he enters the room.Ares might try, but for a guy who spent more than a year screaming himself hoarse in a vase while everybody forgot about him he is remarkably bad at being inconspicuous. Eris… MWHAHAHAHA. You can count on her!9. Who can’t microwave their own food.Most definitely both Ares and Eris. Hephaestus has probably built one microwave for the specific purpose of giving them grief. It was a bad idea, likely. Then again Hephaestus’ idea of a punishment is likely to be a microwave that gets clingy and anchors itself to you… Hera, you did some damages there. 10. Who plays their music loud and who hates it.Eris, just for the hell of it, and EVERYBODY hates it. 11. Who was always in timeout.Eris. Guess why?

(if you're still doing this) 🔥 female characters

meme: Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.@fieldofheathers-stuff

Ahhh, another very good question that will probably not win me any friends. XDI detest the fact that so many people on this site seem to be under the impression that female characters have to be presented as perfect, painted in a positive light, and you have to like them and never, ever, ever try to talk about their “less than perfect” side in any critical way. Because if you do so then you are being “a misogynist” (and often she becomes a ‘monster’). All of this is nothing more than utter nonsense repeated over and over again in the name of a ‘tumblr activism’ that means absolutely nothing, changes little, and, more importantly, takes any form or responsibility from a female character reducing her to a hapless minor until she is pissed enough to go “super sayan” on her enemy’s skin, which is completely believable, right? Exactly what the women-rights movement is about: taking responsibility from women because the world denied them equal rights! Last minute actions! Not a long and complex path that included responsibilities and mistakes.Each and every person should be held responsible for their own actions, the good and the bad, no matter their gender, and people tend to empathise with characters also because of the mistakes those characters make and their imperfections, defending them no matter what will only make them less relatable, less plausible, and much more disliked.

I perfectly agree on the fact that representation is important, but forcing one work of art to be about something that it is not about is not good representation at all, it can be an interesting exercise, absolutely, but it doesn’t add any artistic value (artistic, not political) to the work itself, nor it can it always work for everybody.Besides, I must add, making a woman perfect is nothing new and it has nothing to do with feminism either, it simply is another declination of a very old, quite dehumanising, trope that asserts women can either be saints or demons. A trope which denies female characters the right to be not only good, well rounded, characters, but also believable ones.One individual’s power is not always a sign of the whole gender’s empowerment, how they use it can be, but power itself isn’t.Moreover there is something irritatingly patronising in having female characters that just “know” better than any male one what needs to be done, no matter what experiences they may have had or lack.It does not work that way. Knowledge is acquired, not innate and without exercise it can also be soon lost.

//Join us soon for another chapter of the saga: “Osse tries to make Maedhros give him the excuse he needs to react violently.” Will he succeed? Will it be the excuse Ossë needs but not the one he deserves? Who knows! spoilers: Maedhros drowns should really stop messing with crazy Maiar.

Meeeeeh… the idea itself is interesting, but, the way I see Maedhros, the motivations you list here go a bit too far into ooc-land for me. Sorry ^_^“‘

//No need to apologize at all. :) In fact what you mention is the exact reason why I hesitate to make this A.U You are right: I would have to change the character drastically, not only in how he acts and thinks, but in his very personality. The Maedhros I extrapolated from canon (a.k.a. the one I r.p.and like) is very ambitious, prideful and, indeed, feels a deep bitterness towards his father for some of his actions and choices, but would also die before seeing him or his brothers harmed. He is extremely protective of his family, despite everything. Moreover, at his very core, he is extremely altruistic, even if selectively so; he has an tendency to self-sacrifice that can easily turn unhealthy. Besides having him surrender to Morgoth would take from the character one of the things that make me like him: how determinate and strong he is.  While, on the other hand the evil!Maedhros is, underneath all pretences and the lies he tells himself, a very egoistic and self-absorbed individual, someone that thinks he is self-sacrificing for his people and the ones he loves but actually he isn’t. He is in fact tormenting those he cannot let go of (see: Fingon and Maglor). Not that his situation is happy, because it isn’t at all and he has accepted compromises that hurt him deeply, still he has also gained from those compromises, unlike the ones he wants to think he is protecting.  So, yes, your objection is an extremely good one.

non credo che ne esista una specifica... il che vuol dire che abbiamo la meravigliosa libertà di scegliere il nome più ridicolo per la nostra! una freccia d'oro in premio a chi si inventa il pun letterario più pessimo da usare come tag!

... QUESTO E’ ANCHE VERO.

non avessi passato il pomeriggio a recitare in una versione in carne ed ossa del fumetto di zerocalcare dei vecchi e la tecnologia (risultato: ho un mal di testa atroce XDDDD) proporrei qualcosa ma immagino lo farò domani lol

DETTO CIO’ CHI HA PROPOSTE PROPONGA

They sure DO know how to blurt out the dictionary definition of feminism whenever they are cornered in a discussion, tho...

I know right? -_-’’’’
