Rambles about Height

Has anyone of you search or know that Childe is taller than Aventurine!?

Childe 5'11" / 182cm

Aventurine 5'6" / 171 cm

Is this accurate? please someone tell me!! 🥺 

I mean just imagine Yan! Idol! Childe mocking Yan! idol! Aventurine because of his height the two of them would start to bicker in front of you [their shared manager] then Childe tells you reasons to drop your contract with adventurine as his manager. just to make you his and his alone after all he dont like to share what is his to anyone.

And then Yan! Aventurine will plead with you not to listen to childe, [imagine his begging damnnn!! Im down baddd] if you are taller he likes that and promise he does not feel insecure at all he even likes it when you just looks down on him and he is in the level of you boobs!!

he is a sucker for them I tell you! Though he would still act the same smug and confident aven you know. But if you are shorter than him please~ he likes it too! like he can hug you and cage you in his arms?! like it is also bliss whenever he hugs you he can always smell your shampoo and hug you tightly as he roams his hands everywhere in your back and then puts his hands on your hair sometimes teasing you as he grabs your hair tightly just to get something out of you. [and if you moan just a little it's game over for him~] [he will explore everywhere honey no exceptions]

And Yan! Childe, If you are taller or shorter he doesn't care after all he loves it if you sit on his lap face and he is a thigh man FOR ME AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY MIND!! Yan! Childe loves it when he just keeps his hands on your thigh and keeps it warm since his hands are pretty much always are cold, depends on the weather.

Imagine both yan! idol! in the same van with you their beloved manager in cold and unforgiving weather and stuck in traffic for some godly reason. what do you think will happen since yan! aven loves your upper and yan! childe loves you lower hmm~

THEY REALLY DONT CARE IF YOU ARE TALLER OR SHORTER SINCE HEIGHT DOESNT MATTER for this guys~

And I really imagine them as both Fox you know~ like having them as pets who waits for their master is just sooo addicting concept!!!

They would not surely not get along at first but if their lovely manager talks and gets interested on someone that is not them then be sure to have your punishment when you get home~

They both would surely have their positions at hand. if you know what I mean~

Dont stop feeding me!!

pleaseee 😩

one last before I dissapear for like 2 weeks for my monthly Exam🥺 

Need my number sir? I mean Im free~

DAMNED THE EXAM!! I DONT CARE ANYMORE THESE GUYS ARE JUST KEEPS ROTTING IN MY BRAIN!

I will not be shocked if I would end up answering each damn exam questions with their names 😩

Some VR photos from a recent avatar! The Digimon RP I'm in has gotten super interesting, and something may or may not be planned with my character involving this..

[modeus-the-misanthrope]

Supergiant has the opportunity to do something hilarious and great at the same time. In mythology, Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus but cheats on him with Ares.....however.....

If you make Hephaestus refer to Ares as "Our Boyfriend" in dialogue with Aphrodite. I will sing that games praises all the way from Mount Olympos, Greece. To Olympus Mon, Mars!

Sir Pentious 🤝 Stolas

Hellaverse characters who were originally conceived as antagonists played for laughs in their respective pilot episodes, only to be portrayed as more heroic, sympathetic and central to the story once their shows started.

Also, both are British, melodramatic, smart yet socially awkward softies who are in love with energetic, hard shelled, dynamite partners.

“Apollo is Zeus’s least favorite son-“

Me: *grasps you by the shoulders* NO. HE IS THE FAVORITE SON. LITERALLY WHO ELSE WOULD BE THE FAVORITE? ARES? THE GUY ZEUS LEFT IN A JAR AND SAID TO HIS FACE HE DESPISED HIM? HERMES? THE GUY WHO IS JUST THERE? HEPHAESTUS? THE GUY WHO AVOIDS OLYMPUS LIKE THE PLAGUE? DIONYSUS? THE GUY WHO IS CHAOTIC?

listen to me. LISTEN TO ME. *frantically shakes shoulders* THIS WILL SOUND BACKWARDS BUT IT MAKES SENSE.

ZEUS. PUNISHES. HIS FAVORITES. WITH. THE WORST. PUNISHMENTS.

therefore, we can conclude Apollo is the favorite and Dionysus as second favorite son.

also Apollo is mythologically the favorite son. so.

BIG OL’ PILE OF ANGST POTENTIAL!

Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.

Don't do their work for them.

[deathlessathanasia]

Everyone hates Ares and yet Aphrodite loves him, Poseidon convinced Hephaistos to release him from the net where he was caught with Aphrodite and even offered to pay himself the adulterer's fine if Ares refused to do so, Hermes saved him from the Aloadai, Apollo and Artemis didn't get revenge on him for persecuting their pregnant mother. And, shocker, Zeus and Hera's attitude towards Ares can vary from source to source: in Kallimachos' Hymn to Delos it is stated that Leto alone was to bear to Zeus a son dearer than Ares, and in the Dionysiaca Hera and Ares are close and on good terms.

[pro-sipper]

"- 'proshippers' or whatever the fuck you people are calling yourselves now -"

It's. It's still just "proshippers". It's you guys (antis) and the fence-straddlers trying to have their cake and eat it too that keep creating random new phrases to "other" and distance themselves from us. We're here, unchanging, same as ever, in our corner with our silly little stories. We aren't the ones interested in coming up with 500 new labels for people who know that fiction isn't reality.

[groven4]

I don't ship securitywaiter (mike x ness) but I am very tempted to write a fic where Ness tries breaking into Freddy's to gather clues for his investigative true crime podcast (or whatever the equivalent of that would be in the year 2000) and Mike catches him and it's just a silly little meet-cute with some silly little breaking and entering.

Okay, let's finally talk about EPIC's Apollo

I feel very compelled to say, first of all, that I do not dislike Epic. In fact, I am very fond of Epic and have been following its production and status very eagerly! I attend all the launch streams, I watch all of Herrans' update videos; I am, at the end of the day, a fan and I want it to be known that my words are spoken out of love and passion as much as they are spoken from a place of critique.

So really, what my problem with Epic's Apollo?

In the briefest possible terms; the choice to have Apollo be defined by his musical aspect in God Games is thematically strange. And not in the 'oh well in the Odyssey, Apollo was important to Odysseus and his family so it's weird that that wasn't kept in Epic' strange, strange in the sense that Odysseus' character arc since My Goodbye has been getting more and more obviously Apollonian and so it is positively bizarre that when we get to meet Apollo, the god seems entirely disinterested in him and his affairs. So much so that he is not even defined by any station that would indicate that he has been watching over and protecting Odysseus and his family.

What do I mean by 'Odysseus has been following an Apollonian arc'? I'm so glad you asked!

Remember Them is the last song in which Odysseus explicitly uses his sword until Mutiny where he must use it to defend himself against Eurylochus' blade. He uses it to help enact the plan to conquer Polyphemus and, due to Polites dying in that battle, Polites who wished for Odysseus to put the blade down entirely and embrace a post-war life, Odysseus also retires his sword. This is an action that symbolically separates him from Athena - and the image of Odysseus as a traditional warrior set for him in Horse and Infant - as much as My Goodbye physically separates him from the goddess and her war-ways - from this point onwards, Odysseus will no longer be leaning on Athena's wisdom or methods to solve his problems. Likewise, he will no longer be able to rely on her protection.

Odysseus thusly solves most of his upcoming problems through diplomacy and avoidance. He approaches Aeolus - a strange and ambiguous god (both in gender and in motivation) and appeals to them for help. Circe too, he approaches not with wishes to conquer or for revenge, but for the safe returning of his men and an alternate way forward. In all of these scenarios, there is some Apollonian element which is subtly interweaved alongside the influence of other gods; it is with a bow and arrows that Polyphemus' sheep is slain (and thus it is this Apollonian element which is at the root of Odysseus' spat with Poseidon), it is a vision of Penelope that warns Odysseus that his men are about to open Aeolus' wind-bag, Circe's peace offering to Odysseus is to refer him to a prophet of Apollo who has since died.

In this way, Apollo is walking alongside Odysseus for all of his journey after Athena departs - even in the Underworld, he is guiding him. It is Tiresias' proclamation that is the last straw for Odysseus, it is by the power of a mouthpiece of Apollo that Odysseus decides to embrace his ruthlessness. It is with the bow and arrow that Odysseus subdues the siren who sought to trick him, likewise, Odysseus does not attempt to undermine or escape the fate of paying Scylla's passage price - he knows of the doom about to befall the six men and quite unlike the rest of the journey until this point, he does not fight against it. This all comes to a head on Thrinacia where it is a blade which sacrifices the sun god's cow and brings destruction upon the crew once more.

My point with all of this is that when I heard the teasers for God Games years ago, it made perfect sense to me that Apollo would be Round One - he is not Odysseus' adversary and has no reason to oppose Athena's wish to free him. From other teasers about what will happen in the climax of Epic, Apollo will still be walking alongside Odysseus - it is Apollo's bow that Penelope will give the suitors to string. Likewise, it is Apollo's bow that will prove Odysseus' legitimacy and identity. That bow will be the power by which Odysseus hunts his adversaries and cleans out his palace - it is Apollo who is the avatar of Odysseus' ruthlessness, not Athena.

So tell me, truly, what was the point of having Apollo raise a non-argument in God Games? Why have him appear unconcerned, aloof and slightly oblivious? Why have him appear in his capacity as the Lord of Music at all?? And if the intention was never to make Apollo an active player in Odysseus' life like he was in the Odyssey, why keep Odysseus as a primary archer?

The answer of course is that Apollo is inextricable from the fabric of the Odyssey - his influence and favour exudes from Odysseus just as much as Athena's. In Athena's ten year sulk, it would have been Apollo who kept Telemachus and Penelope safe. It would have been Apollo protecting Odysseus from Poseidon's gaze as he travelled the seas (according to the Odyssey anyway)

Forgive me for not being excited about something that I thought was being purposefully set up. I was extremely ecstatic about all of the little Apollonian details that litter the sagas because I know where this story ends up (loosely) but all God Games did was reveal that maybe those Apollonian details were not intentional at all, but merely the ghost of the Apollo who persistently haunts those he favours, even if he cannot explicitly come to their aide in an adaptation.

So when I was listening to Six Hundred Strike, all I could think about is just how overpowered Odysseus was in this so I thought of an idea that I personally like more.

I like to believe that Ares helped Odysseus. After seeing how much Athena cared about this little mortal, Ares decided to follow him around just to see why. He wants to see Odysseus make it back home to Ithaca for more bloodshed like Athena promised, but when he sees Poseidon beat Odysseus, he decides to use quick thought (or what Ares’ version is called, I genuinely can’t remember).

I feel like this explains why Odysseus ends up opening the wind bag, Ares wasn’t really thinking of the consequences and just knew Odysseus would need to to get out of the water.

I also find the wind bag jet pack to be odd, like I physically cringed watching the stream and couldn’t take it seriously, so instead I feel like wings made out of the clouds would be cool for Odysseus, specifically owl wings.

After Odysseus knocks Poseidon down, Ares leaves Odysseus mind. He thinks Odysseus will be fine to figure out how or convince Poseidon to call of the storm, what he doesn’t expect is as for Odysseus to torture Poseidon like that. He can’t tell if he should be proud or terrified because that was real rage.

Whether or not Ares continues to follow Odysseus around after is not yet decided but I feel like at one point he reveals himself to him and Odysseus is just confused on why so many Gods are watching him.

These are all my own headcanons because I absolutely love Six Hundred Strike and it’s probably my favourite song from the saga. Also I apologize if any of this is confusing, I’m really bad at explaining my thoughts and if you have questions please ask and I’ll try to answer.

Please, just a moment out of your day, put our voices together.

I don't like getting involved in politics as much as the next person, but genuinely, a lot is on the line here. Way more than you'd think. Do your research, learn how late your polls are open, where they are, and above all else, stay safe 🙏

Forever mad that Rick butchered Ares' character by making him essentially a bully to his own daughter Clarisse, whereas in the myth he has proven to be the most loving, protective father to his children, be it demigod or godly.

[gremlingirlsmell]

queer tme ppl when they see an extremely transmisogynist TERF movement in a different country: "this is so punk rock" "based" "heck yea" "faith in humanity restored" "this is so cool to see" "literal history happening there right now"

[aficionadoenthusiast]

yeah there's some obvious problems with ares in the pjo series but i think some of them are actually on purpose. the greek gods are first and foremost the embodiment of their domain, i.e. poseidon isn't just god of the sea, he is the sea, or gaea isn't just goddess of the earth, she is the earth. ares isn't just god of war, he is war, and he lives in the us now. modern warfare in the us now is a lot different than ancient greece. it has nothing to do with glory. it's opportunistic. it's capitalist. it's gross and slimy and goes to the highest bidder, and it doesn't like to take responsibility. it takes and takes. if that's not ares in the og series, i don't know what is.
