Dionysus and Ariadne 🖤🍇

Medusa’s story is already tragic as is with her being the only mortal in her family, so why add rape to her story? It feels more like torture p*rn than anything else and besides there are tons of victims of sexual violence in mythology so why add more?

You want to know who was a victim of patriarchy and sexual violence only to be demonized in later tellings? Helen of Troy. She was extremely sympathetic in the Iliad yet ppl treat her like she’s a whore both in antiquity and modern times

Also Athena wasn’t “helping” Medusa stop passing that around as fact.

do you have any recs for horror by Indigenous authors?

Do I ever!

Never Whistle At Night is a collection of short stories that will chill you to the bone. A wonderful collection that includes several Indigenous women authors.

Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline was definitely a fun choice to bring on a camping trip last year. The ending had me feeling all kinds of conflicting emotions.

And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott is a WILD ride. More Thriller than Horror and I feel that Native readers and Non-Native/White readers will have very different experiences reading it. I don't want to give too much away because figuring out what's going on as you're reading it is definitely part of the appeal.

Mexican Gothic is exactly what it sounds like. A scary remote village in Mexico? A big scary mansion run by a rich colonizer family? A badass Meso-Indigenous main character trying to figure out a mystery? It's all here. The build up is slow but as soon as shit starts getting WEIRD it's nothing but thrills and fun.

Anoka by Shane Hawk is another collection of short stories. It's a short read but each story is as fun and creepy as the next. Read at night <3

White Horse by Erika T. Wurth is for all the urban NDNs out there. The main character is a certified badass. I love the NDN/Punk rock feel of it combined with the horror of the supernatural.

Taaqtumi: An Anthology of Arctic Horror Stories. Terrifying. Scary. Dreadful. Cannot recommend it enough. Read it alone or at night when all is quiet to get the most of this experience. You'll have nightmares. lol

I am still alive, I’ve been super busy with both College and mental health and have either of those let up? Ha! No. But I need to come back and bring up a very important point.

Respect Greek culture.

It is insane that needs to be said but if you decide to study the Greek gods then with that you have to study both Ancient and Modern Greece culture and the country as a whole, the Gods do not exist in a vacuum, they are a part of many peoples culture and heritage and respect should be given to those people.

The way Greek culture is repeatedly taken so regularly is insane, and no one ever says anything?? No, the Greek Gods are not living in uptown New York in a Penthouse eating your product placement, they’re Greek just let them be in Greece it is not hard.

I will link to the account @margaretkart they are Greek and speak on this discussion and issue regularly, helping people to understand why it’s an issue and what to do to be more respectful. Check them out at and also while you’re there follow them and check out their amazing art! (Seriously it’s so good and informative, TWO FOR ONE!)

And seriously, have some respect when discussing peoples culture. It is, y’know, PEOPLES CULTURE??

50 people in the rain cheekily asking me "miss the summer yet?" No. I Have Done Nothing But Pray For The Age Of Sun's Downfall. May The Gloom Eternal Take Us All

Everyone who lives in London says how horrible it is to live there and how they can't wait to move out of there. I've had to move into my nans house in some desolate place and it's hell!

Brain function gets worse the longer I'm away, these people will drive me crazy.

I wanna go back to London, I hate it here, I'm getting withdrawals, I need to breathe in the pollution.

Hi there 👋,

My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

"My son welcome.. to Olympus" ⚡

Dionysus had ever since he was (twice) born, he had to be hidden and run to safe places to escape from Hera. His family in Thebes dishonoured him and his mother and later Hera drew him mad for him to wander until he snapped out of it.

Then he had a large following and when he grew stronger punished those who wronged him. Then his fame equal to a god, he became an Olympian.

He had his own γολγοθά (Calvary) to win before he finally earn his place in life and i think that's wonderful.

Hm. Your interpretation of this character displeases me. Guards! Take them away! Make them read the source material once more, and if that fails, the stocks.

there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago
