once again thinking about the parallels of Neil going into the Nest over Christmas break for Andrew and Orpheus going into the Underworld for Eurydice. hows your day going though.

#its minuscule and maybe a bit of a stretch but they're one of my favorite Greek myths so obviously i have to connect them #thank God only one is a tragedy though. one can only handle so much angst. #andreil #andrew minyard #neil josten #riko moriyama #the ravens #the nest #the raven king #all for the game #aftg #nora sakavic #orpheus and eurydice

Idc if it's realistic.

Hades has special places in Elysium reserved for Thalia and Percy once they get there.

(baby hermes voice) stop stealing apollo's cattle? ummm well im literally neurodivergent and a minor so

#infant hermes crawling out of his crib to commit crimes is truly one of my favorite myths #tagamemnon #greek mythology #queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

[gods-favorite-autistic]

A list of things in Greek mythology that I think are funny:

Bellerophon killing one (☝️) lion and deciding he was a god

Demeter just kinda putting a baby in a fire nightly to try and make him immortal

Niobe going “I’m a better mom than Artemis and Apollo’s mom because I have 18 kids” and the gods going “no you don’t” and killing her kids (stop challenging gods people did we learn nothing from Arachne and Psyche and Marsyas)

The idea that natural disasters were just the gods having a bad day (lowkey the way people explained natural phenomena back then without all the modern day science we have right now is actually pretty cool but also Poseidon is pissy so he leveled my fuckijg town-)

That one guy who was like ‘I’m a god’ and Zeus responded by just turning him into an eagle

Apollo having just fatal levels of negative rizz

Midas being given donkeys ears because his music taste was ass

Athena throwing away the pan pipes because they made her look weird

Medusa getting her head cut off and just like a fucking flying horse popped out

That one guy who came home from the Trojan war only to immediately get killed by his wife and her side piece

The way Dionysus just had a group of fangirls following him around more often than not

The way my study packet called Procrustes a “scoundrel” in one of the questions

The fact that the Milky Way is supposedly just Hera’s breast milk that was supposed to feed Heracles (which is not her child mind you)

Anyways that’s it

#also for the record I understand that a lot of Greek myths were supposed to be like cautionary fairytales essentially #I just think it’s funny just how many of those were like ‘check your ego or the gods will do some shit to you’ #madurday night live #greek mythology #the way people tried to explain things they didn’t understand back then was actually really fascinating #one of my favorite myths is the myth of the changeling #your child is a little bit odd (autistic)? well they must be fae of course! #the way you can tell how long neurodivergent people have been around but people just didn’t understand it #if you don’t like Greek mythology what are you doing with your life #anyways greek mythology rules #greek myths

need more cannibalism in art & stories i won’t lie…

the meaning of it so fascinating too like in “the song of achilles” after patroclus’ death, achilles chokes out to hector, “there are no bargains between lions and men. i will kill you and eat you raw.” and to be so inundated w immeasurable grief & anger that he would do something like cannibalism (something that was only reserved for divine gods) just goes to show how far his love & devotion goes for his beloved & how grief will make someone do heinous things/things they never considered doing before.

#now i need to make a fic w suguru & reader and themes of cannibalism #tsoa is my favorite book of all time i wanna get ‘i feel like i could eat the world raw.’ tatted on me #my ultimate goal in life is to write like madeline miller like no one can write like HER… #fav author of ALL time i’m so serious i can’t wait for her new book i think it’s a take on persephone & hades #and i LOVE me my greek myth i really do… #hades one of my favs i always got him as my dad on the pjo quizzes 😭 either him or ares ndjdjdjd #personal

If he conquered her, he was to be rewarded with her hand, if not, he was to be put to death by her. This she did because she was the most swift-footed among all mortals, and because the Delphic oracle had cautioned her against marriage.

#my art #atalanta #greek mythology #greek myths #greek heroes #classical mythology #my love my one and only #she's been my favorite since i was 11 #i would love to be put to death by her tbh

I hate when I see people hating on the gods because of PJO, it makes me so sad and angry

Also. The amount of people calling the female gods "a bitch" is insufferable. First of all, lazy insult, second of all, these characters are fucking ancient. They have years of history in them. You can't just think of their character as "a bitch". NOT EVEN THE BITCH, JUST A BITCH — AS IN, AN INSULT

#see i'm okay w ppl insulting their favs as a joke #i do it too #but (n it might just be me loving these characters) watching ppl insult them bc they hate them is #it's just so weird to me #like #i'm not explaining myself well- #calling the character out on all the shit they've done (the gods have done some very fucked up stuff) is okay #i love to do that. criticizing my favorite stuff is one of my favorite hobbies #the problem is when ppl treat their character like absolute garbage without knowing anything about them #“athena is a bitch who supports SA 👿👿” they say when SHE IS NOT??? #HER CURSING MEDUSA BC SHE WAS SAd IS ONLY ONE VERSION OF THE MYTH #and (as far as i'm aware) it's the roman version of the myth too! so not even the og #also the greeks have some very bad history w SA. bc of the way they treated women #like have you ever actually read about the greek gods? they SA people all the time #and that's what i like to see ppl shit on them for #idk if i said that right #i like to see people shitting on them for that while still knowing that they're very deep characters #w interesting stories that were made in a time where that kind of stuff was normalized #this also goes for the “u can't like the greek gods bc they've SAd women!” ppl #i don't like them as PEOPLE buddy #i like them as characters bc they are fictional and interesting and fucking ANCIENT #did i said fictional already? #anyway. it is 2024 cut it out w the greek god hate #greek mythology #Greek gods #the olympians #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #rrverse #avis' post

@shalluraweek2022

Day 2: Fairy Tales/Folk Tales - Cupid and Psyche

This is more of an AU idea than a cosplay, but I just love this myth so much and it's an excellent fit for Shallura: Haggar would be the jealous goddess who resents Allura for her beauty and alchemical abilities. Haggar sends her Champion to destroy Allura, but he falls in love with her instead and spirits her away to marry her.

I'm not sure who would be a good fit for the person who convinces Allura to check that her new husband isn't a monster, probably someone more well-meaning than a jealous sister, but the oil from the lamp would burn Shiro's arm, giving Haggar an excuse to replace it when Shiro returns to her, heartbroken.

And then Allura goes on a heroine's journey to be reunited with him!
