how it feels to post on tumblr most days

I am hoping that this is some sort of exaggeration or oversimplification because this is just blatant erasure of a major element of Greek culture and replaced by a more Christian version and I want to bang my head into a wall. That’s not what xenia is, and you just erased a major part of the Odyssey.

update genuinely so doodoo ass. if you reblog from ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL POST, this includes reblogs without additions, INCLUDING SELF-REBLOGS, IT DOESN'T ADD TO THE TOTAL REBLOG COUNT. FOR SOME REASON. AND YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW THE ONES WITH TAGS UNDER THE REBLOG TAB ANYMORE WHICH IS LIKE HALF THE FUN OF TUMBLR!!!!

literally the only way to see the true reblog count atm is loading all reblogs in the reblog graph which is the most inconvenient shit ever. roll it back, tumblr, good lord. I'm seeing posts that in reality have like 6k reblogs only visibly having like 100 because of this, that's a SEVERE cutdown of notes

Insisting Christmas is ‘for everyone’ is Christian proselytizing. Send tweet.

guys. do you get the significance of what just happened? do you get it ????

stranger things is arguably netflix’s biggest hit Ever. it is a show with millions and millions of viewers worldwide. it’s basically the definition of mainstream media right now.

and will, a canonically gay character, has been repeatedly pushed aside by some viewers as “irrelevant” or just as someone who is “getting in the way” of the “meant-to-be heterosexual” couple.

but now, at the end of st5 volume one, the entire spotlight is on will. not only that—it’s on will accepting himself for who he is. it’s on him accepting he’s gay, accepting he’s in love with his lifelong best friend, and, most of all, accepting that it’s okay to be exactly who he is. and that is what empowers him.

this is so, so important because it’s way too uncommon for something like this to happen, with a confirmed lgbtq+ character, and especially on a show as big as this.

Now that the show made Sveta and Ilya childhood best friends, I’ve had this headcanon that she has helped Ilya sneak old pictures and relics out before his father and brother get rid of them. Like imagine 12 yo Ilya grabbing as much of Irina’s smaller stuff, the least noticeable but still important things, and handing off to Svetlana after the funeral. Or her grabbing an old stuffie of his because she knows it’ll disappear permanently if she doesn’t. Or after Ilya’s fight with his brother, when his mind is still fogged with rage and he just wants out, she goes back to his room for the last of it. She doesn’t tell him, and as the years went by he kept forgetting. One day she tells Shane, who then begs her to bring them over. They spend an entire day going through everything while Ilya is on a brand trip Shane couldn’t attend. He comes home to pictures of him Irina on their walls and toys he hasn’t seen in decades.
