#I’ve somehow just lost it

Just finished the “Jekyll and Hyde experiment” with @definatelymrhyde and while I won’t say much until the formal post from him, the smallest amount of context I’ll give of how it went is I seemed to accidentally turned the goofy tally hall og mucka blucka into a vocal stim

I’m gonna take a break from Downfall Brennan and go over to Dropout for some Never Stop Blowing Up Brennan and then when it is time for sleep I will set a timer for 45 minutes of Worlds Beyond Number Brennan.

if anyone does anything that makes me feel even remotely out of control it changes my brain chemistry about them forever even if I know they mean well and want so badly for things to go back to the way they used to but they can never go back and I hate myself for that

Was thinking abt my slugcat hcs and decided to doodle some scugs and ramble a smidge abt them. I’m not very happy with my hunter and arti designs atm unfortunately, but I like my concepts for them still

As the weird mythology-obsessed kid growing up, I have countless times been disappointed by how little most people know about mythology, even in spaces where I thought people SHOULD know a bit more than the basics. (Namely, college level writing classes. Not just the students, but the teachers. At a top 20 liberal arts college. Literally just. Actual literature professors of mine not knowing relatively known stories like that Aphrodite cheated on Hephaestus with Ares. Reader, I was gobsmacked.)

The fact is, at least in the US, your average person on the street, NOT ON TUMBLR, but I mean like actually outside this bubble, doesn’t know much mythology. They might know Zeus, or Hercules, or “Mighty Aphrodite” based on recent TV shows or the Disney movies or the aforementioned song.

I’m reminded of this XKCD comic which really nails it:

This also applies to mythology. More people than you, the reader of this, probably don’t know who Orpheus and Eurydice are than you might think. Hadestown returned those names to the sort of mainstream and even THAT niche of musical theater is still, well, pretty damn niche.

Thor 3 has Zeus in it, and Hercules, and obviously Thor. But the Thor franchise is wildly inaccurate to actual Norse mythology is probably the biggest influx of mainstream knowledge of mythology where you MIGHT be able to talk to the average person about who, say, Loki is. But it’s doubtful they’d know a single historically accurate myth, unless MAYBE they’d also played God of War. But again, these are still very nerdy niches within the general mainstream culture.

I dunno. Maybe there’s no point to this. Just that sometimes I see people on here, especially in the Sandman fandom, kind of surprised by mythological knowledge not being more widespread. But in my personal experience, even in very nerdy circles, it very often really, REALLY isn’t.

This is mun again-

Ho boy, I feel so honkin’ awkward about this buuuttt lately I’ve been getting some asks about horror/creepy media and unfortunately, I’m a little uncomfortable with it. I do appreciate the asks and I will answer to all of them as best to my ability, but the thing is… as mun - I simply am too much of a fraidy-cat to be searching up certain media (as I also have paranoia-)

Though I really can’t handle horror and one of the asks I’ll have to simply skirt around in order to answer it; some creepypasta might be okay?

Just- yeah. I don’t know what I’m saying

me core is working on a new drawing and not even saving the project to my desktop or clip folder until I’m like three hours deep

[mollysails]

and if i went crazy and started translating and adapting the entirety of the beetlejuice musical to spanish, with changes to the jokes that would make sense within the pop culture…

what then

[pilonciillo]

i genuinely don’t know how i’m supposed to act at my age

My vacation was better than I could’ve dreamed like it wasn’t even the festival lineup so much (though I did meet another of my top 3 journalists) even as all the people I interacted with in D.C. and the museums I saw this time that I didn’t last time like I cannot tell you how free I felt during this trip..

Also DO meet your heroes. They will be fantastically excited to see you again and treat you like an old friend even when you’ve only met once before and they will find you just as intelligent, interesting, talented, and dope as you find them and give you a massive hug because they’re so speechless because they think you’re a brilliant artist and are that honoured by your gifts
