#Aphrodite is so cool

[apollosbisexualass]

‘I’d rather be a lover than a fighter’ why not be both? Like Aphrodite. Goddess of love but worshipped like no tomorrow in Sparta for being a warrior

i know it's a while off, but ...

i wonder how they're going to do aphrodite in the show. like, her appearance is CONSTANTLY changing, right?? because she looks like each person's ideal beauty, basically.

so i wonder how they're going to make her face and hair and everything shift and change all the time.

because one second, to percy, she looks like annabeth. the next, like someone else.

i wonder how they're going to edit that and have it transition between each "look" that percy sees her as.

will it flicker between shots and she'll "change" between each one?? or will the shot move to percy's face and then back and she'll look like annabeth and then someone else???

#i cant stop thinking about it #like HOW #hopefully this made sense #manifesting a pjo season 3 with this one 🤞🤞 #aphrodite's constantly changing looks is smth thats so cool #i really hope they add it #like if they dont i'll be so disappointed #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #percy jackson tv series #pjo series #pjo #pjo fandom #percabeth #annabeth chase #pjo spoilers #aphrodite

✿༉ reader core in upcoming shunsui kyoraku fic, back at your door

#⊹˳⁺ ♡ 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓇 𝒸𝑜𝓇𝑒 #if you guys can’t tell reader’s spiritual powers are very aphrodite coded #which i came up with her powers due to the fact that aphrodite used to change forms/shape shift #which i thought it was cool because if you think about x reader fics #you basically imagining so many different readers #in this sense of my fic black readers #similar to or as if reader shapeshifts #which we aren’t a monolith from our personalities to our looks #sobs i will go into more detail of her powers another time #it is hinted in the fic that she stepped away from soul reaping for motherhood #and due to how dangerous her bankai is #which i do feel like for this fic could stray some readers away because not everyone wants to be a mom or have kids #but sis is still a badass

why does the pjo series have to unnecessarily villainize goddesses (hera & athena) or show them as silly ladies (aphrodite & demeter) BUT posiedon and apollo are somehow shown as the coolest/most likeable gods, even though arguably, they're right after zeus on terms of corruption?

ares shown as the worst god after zeus and hera amuses me. last time i checked, he was the patron god of amazons and literally killed a man for attempting to rape his daughter but guess who cursed women for rejection? apollo. guess who raped women when they said no (aside from zeus)? posiedon.

#all the gods and goddesses in the greek mythology are flawed in their own way #it doesn't make sense why the books were so unnecessarily biased towards certain gods? #it bothers me specifically that hera and athena are SO unnecessarily painted as villains #while posiedon is ‘cool’ dad ‘great’ lover ‘decent’ god ‘reasonable’ than other olympians #i get it he's the main character's father of a children's fantasy novel so rick painted him in a good light #but my man? then why are you painting other gods who are arguably just as bad as him as WORSE #shut up i feel strongly about it #i love the percy jackson series #but i hate how the gods are portrayed #is trials of apollo a good series? yes #does it make sense why he's shown as a human-like god with redemption arc #while hera is reduced to ‘evil stepmom’ and ‘bitch to annabeth’ even if apollo is JUST as bad as her? #no #and aphrodite is not some ‘silly fangirl’ whose personality revolves around shipping percabeth #she is powerful terrifying and cunning who can bestow some of worst revenge on those who offend her #demeter is not a silly crop goddess #her love for her daughter was so strong it almost ended the world and destroyed mankind #shes in charge of harvest and agriculture without her humanity will starve to death #shes just as powerful as the big-3 or at least she should be #posiedon is not this cool perfect rational god #medusa would disagree demeter would disagree pasiphae would disagree odysseus would disagree #apollo cursed women posiedon raped yet ares killed a rapist BUT nooo let's make ares the bad one #percy jackson #rr crit #greek mythology #heroes of olympus #trials of apollo

POV: you are eridan

#lofaf art #lofaf bloodswap #feferi #eridan #blood #ask to tag #SO some details about feferi specifically.... #i wanna lean away from the poseidon association with her and focus more on aphrodite symbolism and imagery #a god also very influential on the pisces symbol #who is also a goddess of fertility so i.e. muddergrub #i initially wanted to make her weapon of choice a big scallop shell shaped like a shield #but i kept the culling fork bc that just seems like an actual tool thatd be used in the caverns #honestly i was thinking about her potentially making bird puns as her new gimmick bc of aphrodites association with doves #and like itd be funny but do i know enough fuckin bird puns #ALSO all of her bracelets and necklaces are the arts and crafts from her now dead cloister and the wrigglers she took care of. yaaay. #anyway yeah i like jadeblood feferi a lot i think itd be cool if she undied #this does spell out bad news for violet kanaya though. stay tuned.

Last Greek Mythology post before I go back to my normal content

I need a show where the Greek Gods are living in todays world, but not like in pjo. I want them to live like normal people. Imagine:

-Aphrodite: *coming home at 3 am tiptoeing*

Hephaestus, who is used to it at this point, without even looking up from his extremely complicated Lego: soooo, how’s Ares?

-Hera, sobbing: he cheated on me again…

Hestia: what?? Again??? How can you be sure?

Hera: I went through his phone…

-Hermes (who is ceo of all emailing companies), picking up his phone: tf do you want?

Apollo: calm down! what’s the Netflix password?

Hermes: idk ask Dionysus, he’s the one who hacked Hades’ account

-Artemis, leading a strike for climate: fuck with nature and my dad will fuck your mom

Poseidon, every time he meets someone: Hi I am Ariel’s grandfather😃 What about you??

#please tell me you can see it too #like I need this so badly #a Greek mythology soap opera #Apollo is everyone’s cool uncle #greek gods #greek mythology #Hera #Zeus #Apollo #Hermes #dionysus #aphrodite #hephaestus #poseidon #Hades #Artemis #greek mythology memes

It's so wild being someone who related to Jason's Eldest Daughter/Gifted Kid SyndromesTM and Piper's If I'm Different Maybe I'll Finally Be Good Enough, But Being "Different" Makes Me Feel More Lonely on their first read through HoO/tLH (and being scared, confused and angry at how much it called me out since they were the first characters I saw myself in) VS seeing how much hate for their characters were/are getting for being "boring" kids with personality image issues hits different lmao

#jason grace #piper mclean #bit of a vent cause im getting annoyed #I understand not liking their POVs but c'mon guys #I also got annoyed by Piper's crush saga being that prominent but seriously #she's a kid! and a daughter of the love goddess! let her share her mum's traits (and let her hate them! I know I would if- #my mother was infamous for being low-key manipulative and associating her with fake Hollywood standards that ruined my dad. I'd be pissed t #like having Drew solidify Piper's stand and then immediately challenging it with the rest of the Aphrodite kids being decent people?? #Why can Percy can get away with being homicidal bc “oohh Poseidon's' rage is cool” but Piper + Jason having their parents' flaws not allowe #I could say more but I'm gonna be late so-

It’s the way y’all think anyone can force Aphrodite (of all ppl) into a loveless marriage as if she doesn’t have the power to stop Zeus from marrying her off.

#she could’ve made Hephaestus to fall in love with some random nymph so he’d want to marry her instead #she could’ve bribed/blackmailed Zeus since she has helped him with his affairs #maybe she didn’t mind marrying Hephaestus bc he’s a talented blacksmith who will make cool stuff for her #bc that’s what’s stated in ancient sources #do yall really love Aphrodite if you’re gonna declaw her like that #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #greek pantheon #greek goddess #zeus #aphrodite greek mythology #aphrodite goddess #aphrodite

Let it be known that I’m borderline obsessed with the Stray Gods character designs (and the music).

I want to hug both of them, but I can’t, so I will draw them.

#stray gods #stray gods persephone #stray gods aphrodite #Tech’s art #They make me feel so gay it’s not even funny. They’re just so pretty. #I’ve also never seen a non-pink Aphrodite design before #10/10 would wear Persephone’s outfit #Okay #thats enough nerding out over them for now #Stray Gods is supper cool #One of the only video games that I want to go out of my way to buy

obsessed with jason having blessings from random ass gods. he has a blessing from juno because his life is indebted to her. he has a blessing from lupa because she considers him her favourite child. he has a blessing from apollo because he sacrificed his life on that quest. he has a blessing from nike for coming out victorious in insanely challenging circumstances. he has a blessing from aphrodite for being such a beautiful human being. he has a blessing from kymopoleia for being the first to properly honour her in centuries. he has blessings from countless minor and disrespected gods for the same reason. etc. it's such an interesting concept and i love seeing it. it's just fun.

#the aphrodite one is mostly a crack idea but it's still very interesting and it's a cool ass thought #some of these are for specific reasons like. trans jason. #included disrespected gods instead of just minor so it'd include neptune for caeneus parallels #sorry about all the tags rip #jason grace #pjo #hoo #not tagging the gods suck my dick #allfatherly guidance

Aeneid Book 8

Virgil: The shield was so awesome I can’t describe it

*Queue three page long description of the shield*

#guess what I just did in my classics class today #that book is wild though it’s drops so crazy lore #Vulcan (Hephaestus) is just casually chatting to Venus (Aphrodite) and he drops a BOMBSHELL #“oh yeah Troy didn’t have to fall when it did and how it did like it was gonna fall but it could have been at other times #also it’s so awkward when Venus accidentally reminds Aeneas that hes an affair baby bless him #anyways what a cool shield #the aeneid #Aeneas #Aeneid #Venus #Aphrodite #vulcan #Hephaestus #Troy #Trojan war #virgil #Vergil #virgil’s Aeneid #Roman #classics #Latin #latin literature

I collect divination card decks. Not obsessively, not in huge quantities, but I do have a couple different tarots & a few oracle decks that I swap between depending on what info I'm looking for & which deck calls to me on a given day.

My favourite deck is a set of Tarot Mucha (a bit of a misleading name; there is no Mucha art in it, it's all Mucha inspired). There's just something about this deck's vibe that calls to me more than the other ones.

This deck is also a right bitch. Like real tough love kinda shit. Pretty much any time I feel called to do a reading with it, it just hands me my entire ass & tells me to do better.

& it's not just me. Three years ago, I felt compelled to do readings for my Birdfriend & Bestie as well (they both consented/asked for these readings), & it succinctly told Birdfriend that if they wanted a better life they had to take a step in the right direction instead of wallowing, & told Bestie that they needed to get over their shit & accept that they were lovable & that then good love would come their way. I have no recollection of what it told me that time.

(Birdfriend now has two semesters left of their degree in web design, a field they love, & Bestie is engaged to the most lovely person & finally has the healthy polyam relationship they wanted.)

Anyway, last night I suddenly felt a strong need to do a reading with this deck. I've been going through a personal journey of realizing that I might be inclined to polyamory & also realizing that I definitely have a crush on a friend, & thought that the cards could offer guidance.

Yeah, well, I don't know what I expected, but the cards basically told me to shit down, shut up, & deal with my self-esteem shit, or everything was going to blow up in my face.

So I reshuffled & did another reading. & you know what? It started to detail all the ways everything was going to blow up in my face if I didn't course correct.

& like. It wasn't anything I didn't know already, but damn. The cards really just fucking called me out & drove the point home.

I don't know what the point of this post is beyond I love my incredibly no nonsense art nouveau tarot deck.

#witchblr #stardust musings. #My immediate thought after doing the readings last night was #'Fuck I guess I better ask Aphrodite for help' #which is funny because I have NEVER been drawn to Aphrodite before. #Like she's cool & all #but I definitely pulled in other directions & assumed that Frigga or Freya would be where I'd turn for love help #But no #I guess Aphrodite is who I need right now & so it is to her I shall go. #(Also another fun story with this deck:) #(The one time I did a reading that wasn't just 'YOU CAN DO BETTER NOW DO IT.') #(It was shortly after meeting Birdfriend five years ago & my first card was the 2 of cups upright) #(& they were right. Birdfriend & I have been together the whole time & it's been cozy & stable & just fucking lovely.) #(Not to say there haven't been challenges.) #(But they've all been challenges that we needed to & were able to face together.) #(But yeah. I figured if these critical af cards were giving me the go ahead) #(It had to be something good.)
