#Fit for the Gods

Greeks excluded and rejected yet again from a Greek myth "inclusive" retelling anthology

(source) + a very insightful comment pointing out what Greeks have been saying forever

Then you other the Anglophones in the conversation who claim Greeks don't have a right to their heritage (which includes knowing the line of respect for their old gods) because today they are Christians, or claim we have a low literacy rate. This is untrue because most of us speak English very well since we are forced to be bilingual. Also, Greeks constantly win international awards in literary magazines and write in English quite often.

"Has to contend with the Greek literacy rate" FUUCK OOOFF! Greece has education issues but not literacy issues, especially in English spaces! As another Greek pointed out:

Judging from the excerpt, the accepted work is not of very high quality either. Oh, and it also has inaccuracies.

Part of the excerpt I want to comment on:

Writing of this caliber is just unreachable for the poor illiterate Greeks 😢 Also... cringe. Cringe statements about Zeus and feminism, as in, they feel preachy and on the nose. Stop reading the myths like they're kids stories! Give them the cultural nuance they deserve, and stop playing the card "omg i care so much about ancient Greek womeeeen". If you don't understand a cultural thing, don't alter it to fit your "feminine rage". Find other outlets ffs

He's a bounty hunter. He's into DnD. He somehow doesn't know about cosplay or how to improv despite this. He CAN dance. He fell for the Doctor so hard the only coherent thought in his head under stress was proposing to them. Within the hour he'd kissed them, sacrificed himself, and said "find me" after making them catch a goddamn marriage bouquet. He's a nerd. He's socially awkward. He listens to Kylie Minogue. He's a sweetheart. He's a Killer. He's engaged to the Doctor. He is the moment. He is the Rogue.

god i love people watching breaking bad for the first time and being blown away by aaron paul as jesse. like u can go in knowing Everything, knowing about the awards and acclaim and posts and scenes, but nothing can prepare u for the actual experience of seeing a completely real, fully fleshed-out person spring out of that actor's forehead fully formed. aaron paul would go on set, absolutely body scenes like no one else has before, and then leave like "ahaha idk man i just do it, ive never done an acting class i just fucking do the acting". its unbelievable.
