I have several pet peeves about pop discourse on greek myths, and the ones I find most 'most resist urge to scream in the tags' are:

Taking Ovid's 1000 year later alteration to Medusa's origin in order to make her a symbol of assault and loss of automomy whilst Danae and Andromeda's own cases of assault and loss of autonomy and Perseus' role in protecting them is swept under the rug for... reasons. Side note: Why do people dislike Perseus. He's genuinely just some guy. He's fine. His main motivation is to protect the helpless I mean come on.

Making the Hymn to Demeter about how Hades and Persephone's relationship was functional and healthy 'actually' and making it entirely about Persephone's independence (through the overbearing mother and sex=freedom tropes) and ignoring the woman who the story is actually about in the process.

Taking Calypso's rant about the double standard of male gods taking lovers and female goddesses should be able to do the same and that Odysseus doesn't deserve Penelope as a result where in reality Homer describes the man sitting crying on the beach every day for years wanting to go home to his wife but he is literally being held against his will be a goddess and the word 'forced' is used as in she is assaulting him ergo her rant ends up being less about the double standards of female sexuality and more "equality is being able to punch a woman after she slaps me" except its about raping mortals who have no consent to give.

Oddly, I think it's partially people having no idea what to make of mothers. They're in the way of the young women and their stories of sexual maturity. It is a similar thing to the Odysseus story. Young women and the sexuality at the expense of older men and women and the denial of their autonomy in return. It's all very radfem in tone in ways I can't quite verbalise.

The wizard saved the pirate in the five boxes?

HM.... i wouldnt say saved them exactly but i would argue that the wizard had a hand in guiding both boochbeard and gandry to where the pirate was being held... :>

i do like the implications of that, too, though – we didn't know them, and yet we made an enourmous impact on their life. by saving two silly pirates in our quest, we initiated someone else's call to action.

AND WHILE IT MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY LIKE THAT... the point of that post in particular was to appreciate how intertwined the fates of the wizard and the pirate are. idk i think thats kinda neat!

SO MAINLY its just my wording 😭 you can take it however you want

A self indulgent Koala redesign :)

Going for something cute that has the ability to look normal among mid to upper class civilians in case she needs to mingle with nobles, but just a bit more militaristic and practical for fighting! Thinking of doing a layer by layer breakdown for her outfit as well

i’m still figuring out how redbook works so i can’t share the video here yet, but y’all.

a woman made a post on tiktok talking about li hua, a pseudonym students in china learning english would write under to american “pen pals.” these letters were never sent. apparently it was crazy common, hundreds of letters have been written from li hua.

and people have started saying they feel like li hua is getting a response.

this woman posted this on tiktok and the comments were full of people writing responses, apologizing to li hua for not being in touch for so long. and one american mentioned how when they were a kid they dug holes in the beach and thought if they dug deep enough they could reach china all the way on the other side of the world, and that just awoke some MEMORIES. like, i did that. i dug holes in the sand and wondered how close i was. “as children we dug holes at the beach to try to get to you. we wondered what you’d be like our whole lives.”

the same woman made a post talking about THAT on redbook, saying it feels like we’ve both been just struggling to reach each other for so long. “i suddenly realize, this meeting was actually a two way effort. it’s like you’ve done a lot of hard work and come a long way before a date, and the wait was too long that you gradually started to forget the original intention of embarking on this road, and began to doubt, is your date real? suddenly one day, they really appeared in front of you and tell you i also made an effort to see you. and that’s a wonderful thing.”

idk that just made me cry a bit. i’ve seen a couple people refer to the feeling of being a little kid at the playground again, awkward and clumsy and sometimes hurting each other but everyone just eager to meet and share what they love.

best depiction of the batfam will always be "You grew up to be the person who would have saved you" but it applies to them each respectively and that's why none of them can see eye to eye and also get up their own asses about things and go to such great lengths to defend their personal brand of justice. Because they can never stop trying to save themselves from their own history.

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

bitchy superbat friendship but it’s just Clark flying up and interrupting whatever borderline suicidal coping mechanism Bruce thought up this week and going “really? [coping mechanism]?” and Bruce goes “some of us can’t go sulk on the moon whenever we’re having a bad day” and Clark is 1) horrified that Bruce knows about that and 2) instantly distracted by the sulking accusation. they repeat variations of this conversation until Bruce breaks a bone he actually needs to function (arguable) and Clark offers to fly him home; said offer is rejected immediately so instead he sits in Bruce’s passenger seat and tries not to — you guessed it — sulk. when they’re about to pull into the Cave, Clark sheepishly asks Bruce if him sitting on the moon is disturbing anything important and should he be worried. Bruce turns in his seat and looks at him like this 😐 nothing else is said
