You're not Broken

Hey, I don't know if you need to read this today, But you're not broken. You're not crockery that needs to be sealed back together, Or a machine in need of repair. You are flesh and blood and bone And trauma does not break you, does not render you less valuable Because you're not an object with a use, a purpose, a function You're a person Your function is to live So you're doing great Even as you're hurting, you're lost, you're aching with the pain of a transformation thrust upon you Because that's often the consequences of trauma, the transformations we have no choice in and they are blistering and brutal for all the ways they come upon us when we're unprepared But even still, as you fumble with skinned knees and shaking hands You are not failing Nor are you broken You're a living breathing thing A human And a wild successful one at that

#hermes rants #poetry #Well I didn't mean this to be a poem but I guess it is now #I love you I hope you drink something warm and good today #I hope you feel grass against your skin today #I hope you find the little pockets of quiet to nurse the soreness today #I love you I love you I love you #dear stranger #and I mean it #good luck

I have fallen into Epic:the Musical hell and the lack of Hermes and Odysseus fics is appalling. There are none. None. Not one and I’m so upset about it. I’m not a writer but istg I’m gonna fix it myself if someone else doesn’t and it’s gonna be awful.

I swear to the gods I’m about to

Nico being on friendly terms with Ares because a lot of the underworld crew are friends with him versus Percy who is ready to throw hands with him at a moment's notice and does not understand why his boyfriend thinks he's "an okay guy"

OK so I’ve been holding this in for a while because honestly, I thought my opinion on it didn’t matter but I have too intense of an opinion on it to not share-

If Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are two sides of the same coin, then Percy Jackson and Luke Castellan are a heartbreaking mirror image!

I saw a post that said “The reason Luke is going to hate (jealousy) Percy is because of the unconditional love that Poseidon has for Percy and the relationship that Percy will have with the gods” but it’s honestly not just the unconditional love that Poseidon has for Percy, which Hermes’ love is definitely conditional and that’s fucked up, but it’s more than that! It’s Percy’s relationship with both of his parents as a whole!

Please read this entire post, I’m gonna link it, but this one part is spot on-

https://www.tumblr.com/brionysea/741416801371652096/i-hate-to-say-it-but-poseidons-parenting-advice

“i hate to say it but poseidon's parenting advice to hermes was spot on.” I know people give Poseidon a lot of shit for not showing up until he did or even more often than he did, but Poseidon legitimately stayed away because it was bringing danger to Percy and he specifically stayed away because Sally asked him to and both of them made the best decision possible for Percy not themselves but their son and that is selfless love that’s unconditional love that’s saying I’m going to do what is best for you not what is best for me and gods don’t do that! Hermes sure as hell didn’t do that! He was selfish and kept going back because it made him feel good, no matter what it was doing to them as a family and especially to Luke! But what’s worse is that mom’s should be the most selfless person in your life, and Luke’s mom wasn’t!!!

I saw another post that said that Luke is a mama’s boy and that’s why he’s mad at Hermes, but honestly, Luke’s mom fucked up even worse than Hermes did because Luke’s mom chose the gods over her son!!! And this to me is where everything really really matters- Sally chose Percy over everything!!!!! She made every single decision in her life based off of Percy and him becoming the best possible person he could be in the safest possible way he could while keeping him as close to her as possible! And Luke’s mom did the exact opposite!! Luke’s mom chose to attempt to become the Oracle, because it made her important and gave her a role within the gods not because it was what was best for her son! She risked her son, knowing how dangerous it was, because she was selfish!

So basically, it becomes this⬇️

Vs.

Percy‘s parents love him unconditionally and selflessly! Luke’s parents were the opposite!

Can we just accept that Hermes is a twunk, not a twink? He may be adorable, possibly the shortest and fast-talking cutie-patootie.. But oh mama, that man– no, GOD– has the most built thighs, he could crush your skull if he wanted (if you could even dream of being in between them)

Also, there was a myth that described how he lifted a whole ass HOUSE, crushing the nymph Chelone, and releasing an Update to Greece; the turtoise. A little overkill, but hey, he ran ALL the way across Greece and back, only for this girl to say no.

But yeah, story of the moral.. He is adorable, but can absolutely DESTROY you.

Long ass rant yw. Tw!! Rape.

Welcome to my Ted talk. I will be beginning with Ares. Also my trashy grammar.

Ares is usually depicted as a cruel violent man who would abuse his children or not give a fuck about them. He is depicted as a villain, a terrible person, in modern literature/film. This is entirely incorrect here is why.

Ares is war. He is the god of War. Yes war is violence and carnage and hate but it is also loyalty, unquestioned rule follower, fighting for the ones you love, trust, kindness when needed, mercy. Ares would have all these attributes and he does in Greek literature. Ares is one of the 12 major gods meaning he should be very powerful but he is seen being bested over and over again be it by demi gods or gods this is because of his loyalty and care. Ares cares deeply for his mother Hera [momas boy] and his sister Athena he cares deeply for Aphrodite and all his children. Ares has purposely given up fights, decided to lose, etc. Just to make his family happy he has put himself into embarrassing situations to protect them, honour them, or so they do not have to suffer embarrassment.

In the Trojan war literature by Homer and many others Ares was meant to side with the Atheians he had wanted to be on the side with his sister and mother but instead he was convinced by aphrodite to side with the trojans. Since Ares is the God of War he is able to tell which side of War would win. Which means he put winning below his love. War put love first. This is important because it is the true meaning of War. War is fought over love. Pride is love. Your pride is your love for a certain hinf be it yourself, country, family, honour, etc, and Ares chose his pride and love Aphrodite and his family because he has had children with aphrodite making her his most important family member.

Ares is not a villain he is war itself he is an unwin war that's constantly being battled and yet he still contains himself he even puts his children at his side Deimos and Phobos instead of ignoring them or throwing them off a mountain or beating them he makes them equals.

Ares is also one of the few gods who have NEVER sexually assaulted or raped a woman or man. He himself has actually been raped when he was trapped in the jar by the twin giants. In many descriptions of Ares kidnapping and being trapped in the jar he was described to have been raped and tortured by the twin giants. Ares was only saved by Hermes, he himself could not escape. Ares would never ever put anyone through what he went through because for someone to use your body unrightfully is the opposite of honour it is horrifying and lives on with you forever as a traumatising.

So yeah. There's still so much I want to say but I think this is to long.🧍‍♂️✌️🐢

#weird rant but this is my favorite kind of shit???? like in pjo when they say ''olympic sprinters are children of hermes'' #idk why i like it so much lmao #wwdits #laszlo cravensworth #:)

[messengerhermes]

Look, maybe I don't need to worry about whether the "evil" character has earned their redemption/happy ending, particularly when the evil character is coded as undesirable and abandoned. Maybe I can enjoy the vicarious fantasy that even if deep abandonment and abuse drives someone to their worst, they can still come back from that and find belonging and love.

I want to be a little abby scuito but I'm actually terrified of trying to wear my funky earrings in anything other than a casual setting

#The closest I've gotten so far in my internship is wearing these funky shaped gold earrings #BUT THEYRE SO BORING COMPARED TO THE REST OF MY EARRINGS #like I'm obviously not gonna show up randomly wearing neon pink worm-on-a-string earrings but like #I just think the funky earrings would make my outfits 10x better #But I don't want to look unprofessional #hermes rants

I hate him I don't wanna see his face anymore no more of him get him out of here (lin Manuel Miranda)

#rehks rants #maybe he doesn't need to be in everything #he sure as hell shouldn't be Hermes #HERMES?!? #conservatives are getting mad at the kid casting I'm just mad about the Hermes casting #even Nathan fillian was so much better #pjo series #pjo series spoilers #that one margot Robbie quote recently why couldn't it be HIM

[lawluenvy]

why did everyone go from loving lin manuel miranda to hating him again???? like??? that was so weird. what happened?

i have 0 memory of him having done anything significant - the Only thing i think i remember hearing once was the classic leftist fallacy of "oh so he composed a musical about the revolution but made everyone black and suddenly it's all okay like he didn't still tout on about american patriotism?"

i only really remember in second half of first year uni everyone being fucking Obssesed with hamilton to the point that i made myself listen to it because while no else has ever done this or will Ever do this for me - when my friends really like something i will essentially force myself to like it too so im not left out (if i had a dollar for everytime i've done this through out my life i would not have student debt) and then what was it?? like a year or two later all of sudden everyone was saying he's super cringe??? like what did he do??? write the songs for moana??? are men not allowed to write musicals??? why is that cringe?

anyways i genuinely do not have any recollection of him being accused of anything serious - maybe i just missed it? - or maybe it really wasn't a big deal at all and people just Love hating on people Just Because! hipsters all of a sudden like "he's mainstream now so i no longer respect him as an artist at all"

like i doubt he's a perfect guy but is he chris brown??? did he beat up rihanna and try to pretend he didn't???? is he johnny depp???? did he drag his marriage into a publicized shit show playing victim and relying on his massive fanbase to hide that he was also abusive and alcoholic and beat a camera guy once??? also no????

i think i'm just so exhausted by all this shit. y'all loved this guy so fucking much that i made myself give a shit about broadway musicals for the first time in my life and now that i finally agree that he's a great lyricist y'all are constantly clowning on him???

it's genuinely pathetic behaviour. embarassing.

i've looked it up and still can't find anything outside of "oh since he's all big and successful now he's just a capitalist!"

leftists - y'all need to chill the fuck out. you're fighting the wrong fight. do more for palestine, do more to destroy the fascist regime of colonial states - and stop wasting your time on average celebrities.

embarassing.

Posting on here because I am actually going insane over this.

So in the Heroes of Olympus books, it's mentioned a few times that one of the punishments in New Rome is the death penalty, usually by weasels. The weasels are unimportant here. What is important is that New Rome is not affiliated with any recognized government. That means all executions carried out are technically extrajudicial.

You know, murder.

I just... this is never addressed in the books. There are canonically two fifteen-year-olds who straight-up have the power to command vigilante murder, and are implied to do so often enough that this is never seen as weird or bad. I cannot be the only one who is bothered by this.

#also it's bad that most of the Jewish children are children of Hermes #and one of them is described as 'always looking for potential payout' #that's bad. We can all agree that's bad right? #but that's a whole other rant #anyway #heroes of olympus #rick riordan #camp jupiter #new rome #🦙

People who don't know dog body language who have pushy sketchy dogs are so awful to be around. I told our housemates that their dog Klaus doesn't like me when we went out to watch the eclipse earlier today because I didn't want to go in the fenced yard with him out and they were like "oh no he's fine don't worry." When he saw me he charged up to the fence, high flagged tail, snorting and barking and jumping at the fence and they still were like "oh he's friendly, he just wants to smell you, see his tail is wagging". Like my dude... tail wagging does not mean friendly, and what about the noises he's making rn sounds friendly to you?

Selene's sister grabbed him and I thought she was going to take him inside because she acted like she was going to, but instead she stopped halfway and just held him back while I came into the yard and then let him go to run up and sniff me, which he had very stiff body language the entire time he did so. For a while after that he ignored me because of the kids calling him away and was chill, but still kept coming over and sniffing me occasionally and was very tense each time so I just tried to stay calm and sweet talk him and didn't try to touch him to help defuse the situation.

Then I walked a little away from the group to point out a plant in the yard to Selene's mom which was a mistake because once I was out of the little circle we were standing in he started body blocking me, tense face, stiff body, whale eyeing, and then jumping at me and barking. They tried to call him away and were like "oh he's just trying to get you to play, sorry he's so demanding of attention." I started trying to walk toward the gate to leave because he very much was NOT trying to get me to play and I did not feel confident in their ability to control him, and he immediately did it again. And again they tried to call him away. And I got maybe another two steps before he turned right back around and did it again. And they called him away again saying he was just trying to play. Rinse and repeat for a total of like six times of him body blocking me, tense and whale eyeing, and then jumping at me and barking. All while they're just laughing like "Sorry, Klaus just really loves playing". Dudes your dog is actually behaving aggressively toward me right now, please get control over him so I can leave he is NOT TRYING TO PLAY WITH ME.

This is the second time I've been invited into the yard while Klaus was out and the first time they kept telling me the same thing but he was actually following me around growling at me then and they were still like "oh it's just cuz he doesn't know you yet, he'll warm up to you, he's friendly". YOUR DOG IS SKETCHY. I DONT WANT TO INTERACT WITH HIM. HE DOESN'T LIKE ME. PLEASE JUST PUT HIM INSIDE WHEN I'M IN THE YARD WITH Y'ALL. And PLEASE learn some dog body language because nothing about his right now says "friendly" at all!!!!! Not even a little!!!! TAIL WAGGING DOES NOT MEAN FRIENDLY, ESPECIALLY A HIGH FLAGGED TAIL.

#i will not be going back into the yard while he is out #i only did this time because they made it seem like they were going to put him inside #but then didn't #i do not trust that dog #and they are oblivious and just laughing while he is actively menacing me #cant tell them shit about it though because they act like we're criticizing their parenting if we do and get offended #and then be like 'well your dogs are out of control so what do you know' because my dogs bark at strangers #like... okay your dog growls at and menaces strangers???? mine just bark at strangers who talk to them and try to rile them up #and i dont correct them for that because its not worth correcting and also not their fault #your dog is actually dangerous and you dont have control over him #my dogs are not dangerous and when i tell them to be quiet and get inside they do #so who doesnt have control huh???? #theyre just mad because theyre the strangers my dogs bark at sometimes and since i dont like how they interact with my dogs i allow it #because they are rude as fuck and do not respect my dogs' boundaries at all #and think that dogs shouldnt be allowed to have boundaries because they should be 'kid safe“ which really means shut down from punishment #thats how they are with klaus which is a big part of why i dont trust him too #because they have created a dog who gets punished for setting boundaries so that the kids can 'safely' climb all over him and annoy him #and to me that is a recipe for a dog that doesnt give a lot of warning before becoming aggressive because hes been punished for it #i do not trust dogs who have been punished for having boundaries #and i dont trust their owners either #also them doing that means their kids think they can do whatever they want to dogs and interact very rudely with them #so i dont let their kids interact with my dogs at all now because even with me constantly correcting them they ignore me and are rude #and that definitely is something theyre also salty about because their kids want to play with my dogs #and they also want my dogs to play with Klaus and there is mo way in hell I'd allow that which they also dont like #hes an intact bully who they have admitted can be 'really fiesty' with other dogs #and Hermes is an intact male who seems to have a 'kick me“ sign on him for other dogs and i just wont risk it #and it drives them crazy that i dont trust their strange dog not to be aggressive to my dogs and wont let them all be 'friends' #DOGS DONT NEED TO BE FRIENDS WITH STRANGE DOGS THEY DONT KNOW OR LIVE WITH #I hate ignorant pet owners that make their ignorance my problem #rant

any heartwarming personal experiences/UPG with Hermes (or any of the other Theoi) that you want to share?

wow this is so old but i literally just noticed i hadnt posted anything to answer it, sorry! i have the bad habit of not actually checking my askbox, just notifications, so i totally forgot about this one for months!

from the top of my head, there's been one specific episode of using divination with Hermes that always makes me go all mushy. it was the first time i tried using bibliomancy, almost two years ago, and i was upset over something that had happened- someone had asked me for help with a big responsibility and i didnt want to leave people hanging, you know? i really wanted to help but i also didnt want to overwork myself, so i sat down with Hermes to unwind, get out of my own head a bit. while we were ""chatting"" i thought i'd try out bibliomancy, and with it he called me a big softie. the quote was a dialogue that went kind of like "you're a good boy, you know that?" "yeah, and that sucks. i don't wanna be a good boy." "well, you are. and i love that about you." i almost died right then and there. after that i kept on trying out new things with divination, with dice and books and songs, and he was so nice and so sweet. i think about it all the time.

#💌 #rant alert!!! i love Him so much #i Do want to be a good boy™️ if its for Him tho <3 #askbox #love #divination #personal #hermes deity #hellenic polytheism #hermes worship #helpol
