I think some folks MAY have gotten the wrong idea about how I feel about Circe with some of my posts. So, to clear the air...
Homies, I love that fucked up sorceress.
I love how we're never given a reason why she turns people into animals. That's so funny and so awful. And another potion-making magic gal?!?! I love that she's just basically vibing on an island doing whatever she wants. I even love the fact that she scares Odysseus shitless! She's morally gray and that's why she's FUN.
I just sincerely hate when people try to girlboss her or have her be a victim of SA when she never was Looking at you, Miller. Especially when she was actually the one who coerced Odysseus in exchange for his men being transformed back into humans. And even then, while he was clearly afraid of her, (it's in the language of the Odyssey) she likely meant him no harm after a certain point. He just didn't know that.
Why does she need a reason to do awful things? Why can't she just be a goddess who does whatever she wants? That's the reason why I love her!!! She's fucked up!!! :D
I hate what the Telegony did to her as well! >:( You're telling me, this sorceress goddess, who makes potions (!!!) wouldn't have magic contraceptives??? Would WANT CHILDREN?!?! WITH THE PATHETIC WIFEMAN?! No. Fuck no. Eugammon of Cyrene, I have beef with you š¤¬
Anyways!!! Understand all the "#anti circe" I have is simply Anti "Girlboss Circe" or the book. I genuinely think she's neat af as her morally gray, fucked up sorceress self and just get frustrated with...everything :'D

i got some items that were on wishlist due to the ag summer sale!
favs: maryellenās model rocket kit (so cute!! and it works?!!!), courtneyās shirt and tie (itās actually super soft and nice and the tie is easily removed. and the buttons are real!), and gwynnās skating outfit (the material of the main outfit is super lovely and soft, and the tiny skates are adorable)
i am only disappointed in two things: the bottoms of claudieās tap shoes are plastic for some reason š, and the guards for gwynnās skates will NOT stay on lol

People in my country are canceling an american girl because she was complaining about the āhorrible soundā of a music box played in Mexico city which is part of our culture and she was calling this noise pollution. People were mad about this, cause one thing about Mexicans (or any country Iām sure) is that weāre very proud of our culture lol
People called her out and she didnāt give a fuck, she was joking around and said she didnāt regret anything about what she said. Someone also found her twitter account and she had a looooot of xenophobic tweets about Mexicans which made people get more angry about the situation.
This is a sensitive topic for us since gentrification is impacting our cities, is making locals to move out of their cities because itās getting so expensive since our laws suck and thereās no one regulating the prices on everything, thing that is not really affecting to foreigners cause they be gaining in US dollars/euros and our Mexican peso is not as valuable. Another thing that makes us mad is that all this foreigners are always criticizing our culture, they donāt want to learn our language but get mad if people here donāt speak english, among other things that hurt us as locals.
Thankfully she got fired from her agency here in Mexico since she was being xenophobic towards Mexicans and sheās so cancelled at this point š« š«
WHAT I DONT LIKE about this situation is that some people are using this as an excuse to be racists, since sheās a black girl. This makes me really mad cause MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOUāRE LITERALLY BEING AS DISRESPECTFUL AND HORRIBLE AS HER. This is not an excuse to be a racist piece of shit, this is not a competition to decide who is more of an asshole. She did wrong and sheās paying the consequences by getting fired. That doesnāt mean you have to be racist towards her. This doesnāt mean you have the right to be an awful being as well. People like her and this racist motherfuckers are the ones that give bad reputation to entire countries. Theyāre just making things worst for everyone, itās a shame and itās very sad. Iām personally ashamed of this situation and I donāt share the same thoughts as them. Theyāre hurting our country with this kind of behavior. Ofc we donāt deserve the xenophobic comments but she totally donāt deserve racists commentsā¦. Ugh, this is so mad. Why can people just shut the fuck up if they donāt have nothing good to say?? :( Iām soooo ashamed.

the very nice guy who works at the centre was asking me abt my art and i was so anxious the entire time bc i didnt want to ramble or talk more than i was supposed to, but he kept asking questions and didn't seem like he was in any hurry to go talk to other members so i just kept talking and I'm like. so scared I did smth wrong w the amount i told him but fhdksl I didn't know how much I was supposed to converse with him and I was trying to be so careful in case he needed to go talk to other ppl but he hung around for so long (probably not even ten mins in reality but it felt like absolutely ages, i never get to talk that much with a person in a setting that isn't strictly one-on-one,,,, that was wild) so I guess ,,, i was okay ?? idk, im going to be overthinking this for the rest of the day now augh š
