jack and janet drake were honestly so revolutionary for creating an only child that was a middle child from birth

One of my favourite little things about Apollo is how casual his and the Fates' relationship was.

Now, this isn't to understate how grave the Fates were in any way, as a matter of fact, it's written multiple times about the complex interplay between the Fates and Zeus (Stobaeus even wrote that the Fates were given the seat closest to Zeus' throne so he could better give counsel on all things from their machinations)

Indeed, even Zeus was beholden to them and even though the Fates usually left things up to natural course (and Zeus in his position as Moiragetes - that is, the Leader of Fates could even intercede on these events, even interrupting when a someone was set to die) in a lot of ways, there are many, many things that even Zeus could never interfere with, things that were above even the King of the Heavens. Some really good examples are things like Persephone's Abduction which the Fates ruled as necessary for the propagation of the seasons and his marriages to Themis and Hera.

By all accounts really, the Fates were incredibly stern, incredibly grave deities who presided over law, order, birth and death and even worked with the Furies to punish those who broke the sacred laws!

And then you have Apollo who was also known by the title Moiragetes (In Delphi, there were only two Moirai depicted and in place of the third was Zeus and Apollo Moiragetes according to Pausanias) but who did things like, checks notes, send the Fates to be the midwives of his paramour Evadne when she had to deliver his son alone in secret (by the way, he also sent the actual goddess of childbirth to help. The Fates absolutely did not need to also be there, he was taking every precaution:

and get the Fates drunk so they would agree to save his bestie Admetus' life:

Keep in mind btw - this con Apollo pulled for Admetus was multi-layered and even included getting Heracles to wrestle Thanatos and keep him still so Apollo could proceed to help Admetus cheat Alcestis away from Fates when Admetus expressed regret for making his wife die in his place:

And I cannot stress enough that Apollo faced zero consequences for this nonsense. NONE. The Fates weren't even cordial with other Gods - they're almost never referred to directly, they were often depicted apart from other deities or described as old, ugly and unable to walk (though, generally speaking they were artistically depicted as young maidens!) and apart from comforting Demeter by going to personally explain what happened to Persephone in some versions of the story, they didn't really get humanised the way most of the other gods or spirits did. Usually they're referred to euphemistically, or someone will speak distantly about a prophecy they once heard was designed by the Fates but Apollo? Apollo knew the Fates! He was good friends with the Fates! And I think it's even cooler when you consider that both instances of Apollo showing off his Fate's Favourite privilege have to deal with birth (of Iamus) and death (of Alcestis/Admetus) which were the two points most deeply associated with the Moirai and why there were usually depictions of them as a pair over that of a triad.

(Excerpts sourced from Theoi, Aeschylus' Eumenides, Pindar's Olympian 6 and Statius' Silvae; though just a note, one instance of the Fates' involvement with Apollo is misquoted on Theoi - that is the Fates being present for Apollo's birth, that's actually a misinterpretation of Evadne's birthing of Iamus.)

Death doesn’t feel glorious.

It just hurts.

Hurts and hurts in the back of his skull until he feels like he can’t go on, and even then it keeps hurting.

Death doesn’t feel like the stories of brave soldiers dying in war or heroes sacrificing themselves for the ‘greater good’.

Tommy doesn't feel brave, or like he’s doing anything good for the world as he gets his head caved in.

Nothing about it is serene, there’s no acceptance, no peace, just the agony of getting beaten to death.

He doesn’t get the chance to think about what is really happening, to think unspoken goodbyes, he’s too busy screaming in anguish as he hears his skull crack.

His last thoughts are ones of frantic rageful pleading of a child who doesn’t wanna die, not really, not like this, not by his hand.

Death is not a brave thing, not when it is taken from your clawless hands with force and without permission.

I think the worst thing about the gadreel situation is that dean doesn't even try to understand why sam is upset. which then leads to him never feeling guilty for the reasons he should be. like he feels guilty for trusting gadreel, but he doesn't feel guilty for lying to sam for months. he feels guilty that kevin died and that gadreel got out of his control, but he doesn't feel guilty for letting an angel have basically unlimited control over sam's body.

I keep seeing posts about b'elannas like love of passion and stories and I think that sude of her really got to shine in muse like even though she was stranded on a strange planet and injured with z broken ship and obviously alot if her attention was devoted to that she still became engrossed in kellis' play and made sure it had a good ending and the way she adapted all the stuff she knew about voyager to an epic style was so smooth and cool AND it was obvious she was doing it continuously and with dedication even when she was trying to fix the shuttle because of the way kelos described everything, like the way he described vulcans and the way he told his performers to play the crew made it clear that b'elanna didn't just give him a simplistic explanation of the stuff on voyager he was asking about (which would have been alot easier! She was trying to do complex engineering work on a damaged ship and Kelis was definitely stressing her out!) but she told him a story. Anyway muse fucks severely

Lol remember when I found out he was trying to talk to me via Spotify playlist titles and also trying to convince me to meet him in Tennessee via Spotify playlist titles that was pretty fucked up lmao

Actually, nah. I've recently changed my mind. Blacklisting tcest is clearly not enough in this fandom. I have to do HARD BLOCKING to get those repulsive, violating dipshits off my blog.

Brought my construction safety class to a screeching halt today when my teacher overhead me talking about how much I'm being paid. Turns out my employer owes me, uh, a load of money. So my teacher just went on a rant about how shit the apprenticeship system is while I wrote a complaint to the local union. All while in class. I'm sure construction safety wasn't that important to begin with

I saw someone call to @humans over the @charlottan deletion, so I clicked on their @ to see:

Which, like... are they? Your bots were proven to disproportionately target LGBTQ+ content, and those bots were... made by humans. They didn't come up with that bias on their own.

honestly i find it far easier to answer questions about specific stories i've written than to answer questions about canon, bc i spend most of my time writing canon divergence of various flavors. i make an effort to base my characterizations off of my understanding of canon, but there is by necessity some extrapolation taking place in basically everything i've ever written.

OCD is wild I will be going through my day and suddenly my brain starts insisting I've been abusing everyone in my life forever and they don't realize it either because I'm a master manipulator and asking them to make sure I'm not is manipulative too because again they're not aware of it and I also want them to say yes which is a sign I'm aware of what I'm doing and saying anything at all about it is inherently manipulative for the same reasons- like dude we are eating lunch where did this come from

You ever remember some random guy you didn't know very well and have since lost touch with and think "i wonder how she's doing now"
