Suicide Squad has been grossly mishandled from a marketing standpoint. Point 1) no new song from Will Smith to promote the film

I just love the myth of Persephone, i mean the real, original version of it, because it’s not like she got kidnapped, no, this bitch was la-de-da-ing in a meadow and she just happened to find an entrance to the Underworld and she was like “Imma check this out”. And she just wanders into the Underworld and discovers that hey this place ain’t too bad.

Meanwhile Hades is in the background “????? UM??? PRETTY GIRL??? WHY ARE YOU HERE?????? YOU AREN’T DEAD???” 

And Persephone (who was originally called Kore just a little fyi) just looked at him and said “I like it here. I’m staying.”

And Hades kinda just went with it, until Demeter started throwing the temper tantrum of the millenium upstairs and Zeus had to intervene because this shit was getting out of hand and its actually his job to be admistrator of justice. Which considering the shit he gets up to is kinda histerical but that’s another story there. 

And basically Persephone wasn’t a prisoner or kidnap victim at all she just really loved the Underworld and her (eventual) husband, and the Greeks feared her arguably more than her husband because Hades could be reasoned with but Persephone was the one laying the smack down on sinners, and really, who wouldn’t be at least a little scared of someone who’s name means something along the lines of “the destroyer”

Basically, Persephone is amazing and everbody needs to get on her level

i think the best part of that myth is that Zeus decided to change Kore’s name to Persephone (basically “the one who brings chaos”) only because she wanted to stay in the underworld and SHE WOULDN’T FUCKING LISTEN then Zeus, all-mighty king of the gods, kinda gives up and goes “fine, but you’re going to visit your mom” “also, I changed your name” “get rekt”

Also, if I’m not mistaken, Kore means “little girl” so imagine going from that to “chaos bringer”

[parziivillains]

I mean, going from little girl to chaos bringer sounds like a p solid deal to me, sign me up.

The Iliad Drinking Game

Take a shot every time:

Zeus gets salty

Nestor complains about being old

Patroclus acts like Achilles’ bitch

Homer shoves in a strange metaphor

Someone is injured “by the nipple”

Greeks call Paris a sissy

A God intervenes unnecessarily

Achilles does something impulsive

Someone ignores perfectly good advice

Dudes exchange armour

Achilles kills someone and throws them in the river

thedas moodboards | the emerald graves

Long ago, a tree was planted for every warrior who pledged themselves to the guardianship of the Dales. Together, these warriors were the Emerald Knights, and the forest of their trees was named the Emerald March. Most humans in Orlais do not call this place by its true name. They refuse to see anything but wood and moss and leaves. But we of the People remember. The trees that once represented a mighty army are now living symbols of sacrifice — the Emerald Graves.

Just finished playing DAI. I owe this to my inquisitor who stuck with me for far longer than it should have taken me to beat this game.

Take this sinking boat and point it home. We’ve still got time. Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice. You’ve made it now.

I’ve journeyed deep into the Fade in ancient ruins and battlefields to see the dreams of lost civilizations. I’ve watched as hosts of spirits clashed to reenact the bloody past in ancient wars both famous and forgotten. Every great war has its heroes. I’m just curious what kind you’ll be.

Achilles: I think I'm hallucinating, because I'm pretty sure I just heard your biceps mocking me.

Ajax: No, that's possible. My biceps mock a lot of people.
