There is one right answer

[oliwithwings]

The longest web weave ive ever done (aka its the entire song)

Matilda - Harry Styles

this song fits Artimis perfectly and shes such an underrated character

[godsandalonelygirl]

I love how I can just go for walks and dedicate them to Artimis it's so easy to worship gods when you love them enough

[vncdraws]

Every time I remember these characters exits, my neurons just flare up.

astrobots really went lets have a cynical thoughtful determined robot catgirl sword mom protagonist and we are here for that:

anyone else on the edge of their seats w/ patient anticipation of what's going to go down in Astrobots #6? We are. the story so far lays out a complex world where mass produced bots r stratified by hardlined code thanks to humanity, hierarchy therein inherited from them too...

reading that in issues #1 and #2 alone for both atlas city & the persephone ship gave the impression that something was deeply wrong that would be the source of conflict (see: atlas being a jerk). also was nice 2 be able 2 see the overlaps between athenia & arcee, & references to transformers such as solus, scylla, and xaaron

#5 ends on such a massive cliffhanger. the conflict is laid out sure, but how is artimis going 2 be psychologically throughout the series? r her clashes with athenia going to have some level of homoeroticism, and can the latter help her? will atlas's bioessentialism end him?

his whole shtick of trying to make a genetically improved humanity without hate he learned from them & attempting to coerce a specific line of bots to do it may not seem like him being a misogynist at a first glance but when you account for humans making that line that way, well. a greek goddess-named line of bots who r sword wielding curvy bipeds w/ cat ears & hardlined coding to nurture with skills to raise humans no other line got (it is unclear at present if multiple genders exist per bot line or not, we genuinely hope for the former) sure does feel like humans had a particular idea about what kind of fierce parental figure they wanted to mass-produce that raise even more questions. one that leaves one realizing humans made the bots of all lines without thinking about programming modularity. frames too. they all have heels, no body type variety, gave us a feeling of the humans in charge not quite having humanity's or robotkind's interests in mind so much as perpetuating a specific kind of society especially since the one body type only thing is true of every other bot line because of adherence to an alienated concept of function (its still unclear whether the remaining humans in the sol system are capitalists or collectivists or what but we have a feeling which one it is). and atlas making the threats he does thus does come off as him having recreated a form of discrimination a few times removed from human context.

the other thing we like is that astrobots doesnt simply do humans vs robots. it is instead robots vs robots who are both custodians of different kinds of humanity, following up on conflict of genocidal reactionary humans vs robots and humans living in harmony responded to w/ dirty nukes, after exodus from earth.

we do genuinely think this very easily some of Furman's best writing. there's an earnest revisiting of older ideas with new ones in a new setting that carries a great deal of nuance and delicacy. Athenia and Apollo's insightul valiant outlooks are entwined, minor characters r fun

Introduction

Hi! It's so nice to meet all of you!

I've been thinking about joining Hellenism for a while now but since I've never really believed in a God I thought it would be weird.

But then I just kinda said "fuck it." Because it's my life and I don't have to live my life by rules some random person made up.

Of course if I'm being disrespectful in any way I would love for you to tell me since this is my first time in the community!

This is also a side blog since I'm kinda just dipping my toes into the community 🥰

Anyway! The main gods I'm considering worshipping are: Dionysius, Artimis, Hestia and Hecate!

If you have any suggestions or information you think would be helpful for me I'm welcome to hear it!

ok my thoughts are in order and i think i have smth to contribute to this gore discussion.

the original anon might have had a strong reaction to gore for a reason, just not the reason they thought it was. blood is naturally kinda scary and unnerving bc it's supposed to be inside of you - or another creature. when your own blood or bones are outside of us, we get a reaction bc that usually means we're hurt or dead (undesirable). if we see someone else's bones or blood, we might feel empathy for them, which leads to the same reaction as above.

we can learn to deal with this reaction, as we can all reactions and impulses, by not letting it control us and giving it the space to run its course. that's how we can meaningfully help people who are injured, or humanely slaughter farm animals for food, etc.

i could talk about like, as a Christian, we don't believe we were meant to die, not in Eden. but in this world now, we do die, and we have to live with the consequences of that (blood n bones and gore etc).

yea that's my 2 cents ty :)

100% agree. gosh that's a good point; blood and gore giving us such visceral reactions so that we can tend to injured people or want to cause as little suffering as possible to animals.

I think that blood/gore has gotten so. I don't know the word... stereotyped as being Evil itself, even that doesn't make much sense to me. I don't think organs or blood are corrupted; they're ridiculously complex inner workings God designed. it also has spiritual value as well; the Bible mentions blood and such many times when dealing with spiritual matters.

I have a lot of nuance when it comes to violent and gory media; I enjoy a lot of gory films, and I think body horror is interesting (doesn't help it's a special interest). I do believe there's stuff that simply shouldn't be considered (things that glorify hurting other people). I don't know. I just find it strange when I see Christians go as far as considering anatomy as disgusting in a sinful way.
