FUN FACT FROM A ANCIENT HISTORY STUDENT
In one of the older tellings of the “Kidnapping” of Persephone, she just accidentally found the door way and walked in and sat on Hades’ throne and said “This is mine now” and Hades gave no shits. Demeter threw a hissy fit so she called Daddy Zeus and he was like “Okay I’m forcing a divorce-“ “TOUCH MY HUBBY AND I WILL KILL YOU!” “...How about you visit you mom for 3 months?” “That sounds fair.”
The newer telling, yeah, is the “r*pe” of Persephone where Hades does take her after Zeus AGREED and Demeter was like “UM WAT” and Zeus is like “OKAY OKAY ILL BRING HER BACK” but Hades is like “no she ate food here” “UM OKAY DEMETER, PERSE AND HADES WHY BOT 6 MONTHS.”
So In Lore Olympus how Persephone totally ran away to Hades and that theory she willing left and how it’s the start of the kidnapping part of the myth? Holds a LOT of weight right now.
Bonus fact: There is evidence that shows that Cerberus means spots or spotted.
This is what he would have wanted
Literally every ancient source ever: Apollo is a kouros. He looks young and beardless. He has long fair hair. He can have a muscular body, but it will still have that typical softness of the youth. In some cases, he can even appear as androgynous, having breasts or curves. He wears both masculine and feminine clothes. He will mostly appear as a young, beautiful boy between 15 yo and 20 yo.
Ancient sculptures: yup, exactly!
people’s fancasts for Apollo:
@ellakay69 for you😂
Thanks ♥️♥️♥️ Honestly it's amazing how the definition of perfect man changed after so many years 😂😂😂 (Although I admit Apollo how Ancient Greeks defined him is my ideal kind of man. I never liked men too much muscular)
Apollo is a twink and we stan.
There's not enough love and appreciation for Aesculapius/Asklepios on this site and I'm Not Ok with that
I mean ok Apollo is fine, He’s the Lord of illness and medicine, and Hygeia and Salus surely are lovely and caring to provide health and wellbeing to the individual and the State.
But Aesculapius/Asklepios*?
He’s the one who would stitch you back to life without asking if you did something good to deserve it. You can’t put Him in the rhetoric of “divine morals” because He is the Friend of Man and He is THE model we can look at when we decide to strive for perfection in any field.
He’s not the raging God who walks the battlefield to ruin the nations. He’s literally That Dude in the medic tent that tries to keep your bowels inside your lifeless body saying “R e a l l y man, I just saved you yesterday - how dare you trying to die again?” while deciding if He should put your appendicitis back where it was because Nature surely is wise and all, but that organ makes you question how anatomy works.
He was literally born out of death (Apollo cut Him from His mother's womb when she was laid out on the funeral pyre) and I'm convinced that just for this He is the thrice born - He died before experiencing life, He lived as a human and died, and was reborn as a God.
He learned His skills from Chiron and discovered the mystery of resurrection watching a couple of snakes and on an iconographical level it's so good because among many other things snakes are representations of the soul, so He directly learned His skill from the dead (*cough cough* necromancy *cough cough*).
He was so good at doing His job that He shattered the natural cycle of life and death and Hades had to walk His way up to Zeus to complain that souls no longer went to His realm because of Asklepios. Like, how good do you have to be in your job to piss off a God?
He is the fucking Resurrector, born out of a funeral pyre, killed by lightning and brought back by divine's will because yes He ruined the cycles but He did that because He reached perfection in his job. He is the one who decides who should follow Thanatos/Mors and He has a staff because He's perfectly capable of beat the shit out of death if it decides to show up when He's on duty.
He could've been the dreadful God of necromancy and be one of the scariest Gods in the pantheon but instead He decided to be the Soothing One, the Great Physician who helps mankind in its mortal journey, the One who listens to everyone's prayers, and He doesn't care if you're crippled (both physically and mentally) or if you're on the edge, waiting for a reason to jump.
Aesculapius became a God because He loved mankind and we completely forgot about Him.

*I’ll use both names because He’s the only God I perceive as the same both in the Greek and the Roman pantheon (and given His history it makes perfect sense)
every morning i wake up & get my coffee & i recite in my head this excerpt from ‘invitation,’ by mary oliver: “it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world.” & i just say it over & over again until it sticks to my mind for the rest of the day. it is a serious thing. i am alive. i am so lucky. this fresh morning i get the chance to live again & again & again

Prompt I will never do anything with: instead of being given to the Dursleys, Harry Potter is put up for adoption and is adopted by the Addams Family
Gomez, being forcibly removed from the stands of a Hogwarts quidditch match for the third time: MY BOY! MY BOY’S UP THERE! HE’S SEEKER!
McGonagall, sweating: Mr. Addams, how do you keep sneaking onto grounds
As I said to @door :
Wednesday is woefully jealous of how dramatic Harry's origin is and fiercely protective of him, only SHE is allowed to torture him
Harry's hair would be more slicked back and shinier than Draco could ever hope to achieve Harry still gets sorted into Gryffindor Morticia says he gets that from Gomez' side of the family
my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:
he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year
Chaotic good
NO! This is Lawful Good! He is following the LAW! Chaotic doesn't just mean cheeky!
this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work
malicious compliance is one of the best tools in the arsenal of civil rights activism
Just reiterating that the heart of witchcraft is (just like science) experimentation and documentation. Try things out. Get them wrong. Mess up. Do better. Write down your efforts. Make changes and alterations based on what you have access to. Above all, if it works, it works; if it doesn’t, then it’s no good. Witchcraft is a results-based practice.
Aesthetic offering for Hera
okay, so today has been an absolute wild ride, but I wanted to make a post and share what’s happened with everyone here, because it’s kind of a big thing.
I went out with my mother this morning to get some Necessities from the store. on the way back to the house, we found one of the outdoor stray cat’s we’ve been feeding, Dahlia, on the side of the road. she’d been hit by a car and hadn’t made it.
as heartbroken as we were, there was a bigger issue.
four days ago, Dahlia had a litter of kittens in the stormage ditch just off the side of our property.
pictured below, the ditch
it’s about twenty inches around, and twenty foot long. the far end of the tunnel is crushed and inaccessible. the kittens? fifteen foot into the tunnel.
below is a series of pictures of me, crawling into said tunnel.
second post with the rest of the story to come.
below is a picture my mother took from the outside of the tunnel.
this is right before I went in so deep, the flashlight couldn’t make me out.
there were six kittens in total. unfortunately, due to the confined space of the tunnel, and how the kittens were hunkered, I could only get them out one at a time.
it took me almost a full two hours of army crawling in, and then army crawling backwards out of the tunnel, to collect all of the kittens.
all six kittens, safe and accounted for!
they’re four days old, and presently don’t have eyes or ears open.
third and final addition to come!
I’m glad you saved them but crawling into that tunnel looks terrifying
it absolutely was terrifying. I went in so deep, my mom couldn’t see me even with the flashlight. those kittens were not easy to reach!
we couldn’t stand the thought of them just staying in there and starving, though, and i was the only one small enough to fit in the drain!
At a loss for words except:
Bravo, Katie! Bravo many times over!
This is amazing. !!!
holy shit you’re a fucking hero.
This is the kind of thing that warms my heart. Like. There’s a global pandemic going on but people are still out there saving kittens (and if you check OPs blog, they’re doing well and there’s links if you wanna help out)
ah I want to move to the countryside and start a family
my family being myself, several goats, a cat, all of my cool queer friends, my adopted gay dads that aren’t a couple, and my constantly increasing number of LGBT+ foster/adopted children

Yes, textile engineer. That’s not a fashion designer in any way.
You’ve obviously not watched the movie. She invented those fabrics to resist flame, turn invisible, resist high amounts of friction, and stretch infinite times, and avoid tear from bombs
she did a tad more than “design” them
(Id go so far as to say “tactical textile engineer”
And since the fabrics have to be comfortable as well, she’s a tactile tactical textile engineer.
And since the uniforms also had to look stylish and not gaudy, she’s a tasteful tactile tactical textile engineer.
And she’s the best at what she does, which makes her a talented tasteful tactile tactical textile engineer.
i can’t believe people actually came for Edna Mode like that
