#the goddess of the hunt
Text
i’m currently re-reading the percy jackson books si that i’m prepared and ready to watch the show. something that’s come to my attention, (reading the 3rd book, the titan’s curse), is that artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and her hunters, are all asexual. maybe not all aromantic, but definitely all asexual. anyways, i’ve always felt a special connection to artemis, reading abt her in the pj books and other greek mythology books. i could never put my finger on it, not until i realized i was ace. that connection to her that i felt was bc i saw myself in her and her hunters. i never wanted to be a demi-god, but i always wanted to be one of her hunters. and that’s why. the thought of being an eternal maiden and living with other women and girls who feel the same was so appealing to me.
anyway, thank you for coming to my ted talk, that’s just a revelation i had.

"He knew those wild, black curls and the obsidian star on a velvet ribbon. What he didn't know and had never seen before was the face. It was a face of rage and fury, the face of a goddess of vengeance, destruction and death."
Yennefer of Vengerberg, in black and white

The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology
Artemis (Αρτεμις meaning ‘Diana’) was the goddess of hunting, the wilderness, wild animals, the Moon and chastity in Greek mythology. She was also a goddess of childbirth, and the protectress of girls up until the age of marriage whereas her twin brother Apollo (god of prophecy) was the protector of boys. Together the two gods were also bringers of sudden death and disease with Artemis targeting women and girls, and Apollo men and boys. She was often depicted with her bow and arrow, signifying the wild and untamed aspects of human life. However it is also believed that Artemis was tricked into having a child after she offended Hera (queen of the gods), Athena (goddess of wisdom), and Aphrodite (goddess of love). She told Athena and Hera that neither of them were true virgin goddesses. After all, Athena had children, and Hera was the goddess of marriage. She then told Aphrodite that love was worthless since you would most likely have a broken heart in the end. She reminded the. goddess of love of the story of Orpheus and his wife Eurydice, who was pursued by another man but was accidentally poisoned by snake and died. The three goddesses were not amused and decided to plot their revenge. With the help of Dionysus (god of pleasure), they made every young man look like a golden stag. But really, they were the men of Athens. Soon Artemis was in childbirth, which was very painful. Hera (who was also the goddess of childbirth), made sure that the birth would not come easily for Artemis. Some say her daughter is Haley's Comet. Others say that she was is shadows of night. Most though, believe that the moon is her daughter, always shining down upon us.

YELLOWJACKETS + ARTEMIS AND ACTAEON
He is transformed into a deer with a dappled hide and long antlers, robbed of his ability to speak, and thereafter promptly flees in fear. It is not long, however, before his own hounds track him down and kill him.
[ yellowjackets, various scenes || artemis wrath: actaeon, metamorphoses, actaeon wiki, artemis wiki, artemis goddess of... || inspired by this post, by @maryblackwood​​ ]​

I think Slay the Princess is so popular partially because the *gets stabbed* "I'm in love" reaction is both intentional on the part of the developers and then they completely follow through on it.

fucking sad hunters of Artemis headcanon: when people join the hunt, after everything in ttc, any new recruits join, they write a death letter their family will get incase they die in battle or die in general. Thalia was the first to write one.
Thalias:
Dear Family, if you are reading this letter, it means I have passed away. And I wish I had one opportunity.. one more opportunity to smell, see, touch, and tell you guys how much I love you. First to my siblings, Jason... if i ever see you again, Annabeth.. You have no idea how much I love you. And I wish I was given the opportunity to show you how much I care. You are so amazing and precious, and beautiful. You have always inspired me, motivated me, and you have my whole heart. To all my siblings, by blood or by love, I love you all. I want to see you again. I want you to all have my spirit and never give up, no retreat, no surrender, and I love you.
reynas:
Writing this letter is hard. For those who read it, I know it's harder. Hylla, Nico, Hazel, Frank, Thalia, I love you so much. Please don't let being without me break you. Live bigger for me. I can't begin to adequately express how grateful I am for all the love I have experienced in my life. My friends and the family I had loved me and that's what's important. You made sure I had a life that was so complete, you all filled in the voids others left when they departed. Thank you. Wherever I am, I feel your love. Wherever you are, you feel mine.
