My hate for tumblr users knows no bounds. Do you know how fucking weird it is to defend being a fan of a guy and his media bc you have depression. When he has a plethora of allegations going back decades. Get a new interest oh my goddd

I continue to be in the foulest of moods so here are some Zeus + Apollo headcanons because they make me happy :)

(Important note: this is largely specific to my original work and is not me making inferences from mythical or historical texts)

Zeus and Apollo spar. Like a lot. Like a lot. A big reason why Apollo gets so good at boxing is because he usually sparred with his father as a young god and getting hit with one of Zeus' punches is!! Not advisable. He focused on becoming fleet-footed to combat Zeus' more solid fighting style which was definitely helped by his dancing. Conversely, Hermes would later develop wrestling partially as a response to Apollo's annoying fleet-footedness in combat.

Zeus decides to tie his mind to Apollo's when the strain of Apollo's visions become too intense for him to handle alone. When Apollo first returns from his exile after slaying Python, his visions are so severe that he suffered from 'time-blindness' where he could only percieve the future and was completely unable to see the present. Zeus shoulders some of that strain until Apollo becomes strong enough to handle prophecy on his own - though Zeus is careful not to give Apollo absolute prophecy lest he get overwhelmed again.

Despite their closeness, or maybe because of it, Zeus and Apollo argue quite a lot. Usually it's banal things like administrative work or squabbling over which of them should get the larger portion of a hecatomb, but they do argue about how prophecies should be carried out quite frequently too. There's a general agreement for Zeus not to bring up Apollo's children after how messy Aristaeus' anointing was (and how angry Apollo was at Zeus' disagreement with his decision to make his firstborn son a god) but the odd occasion where it cannot be avoided is usually when they have their most grave spats.

One of Zeus' greatest regrets is his relationship with Ares, partially because Ares grows up seeing him dote and teach Apollo with his full attention. There is... a lot of himself that he sees in Ares. A lot of Kronos too and the part of Zeus that is a warrior before he is a king has done his best to keep the boy at arms length entirely because of that familiarity with the face staring back at him. It's another of the things he and Apollo have argued ceaselessly about. Naturally, Apollo has attempted to bridge that gap many times and while Ares is still quite close with Artemis, when it comes to Apollo, he is particularly sensitive.

Zeus is the one that ultimately decided that Apollo should never marry. Due to Apollo's love-curse and his already concerning tendency to be overly attached and committed to his mortal affairs and offspring, Zeus decided that marriage would be doom to Apollo's spirit and proclaimed him unfit for the ceremony and its status. Instead of the expected argument, everyone was quite surprised when Apollo merely bowed his head and accepted such an outrageous decision.

In honor of my last reblog, I wanna talk about Aphmau and Blaze

They are the platonic friends accused of dating ever of all time. They are so comfortable with each other and everyone outside of their friend groups (and even some inside on occasion) make the assumption that they're dating. That the level of physical comfort they show is only shown between them and people they date.

But Aphmau likes being physical with people, and Blaze has admitted he's very touchy and likes contact. They already bounce off of one another really well almost every time they're in any mini game together, and Blaze is probably the second most common person for her to flirt with during the Starlight era, Aaron obviously being the first.

They're just so chill with each other. Blaze leans on Aphmau because she's the right height for him to lean on, and in return she's allowed to ask him for piggy back rides. He loves picking people up this is totally fine, he'll rarely complain about it. They've slept in the same bed together and have never slept together. Or maybe they have I dunno.

All I know is that they don't want to date each other. That even if Blaze is prone to developing crushes on any of his friends, she's one that he got over quickly and comfortably loves in this platonic manner. She feels comfortable and safe around him and honestly what more could he ask for? She's one of his favorite people and she likes him enough to rest her head on his chest while they're watching movies and murmur her little bits of commentary before she falls asleep.

They're some of the friends of all time.

I want to make art for people that makes them happy but I also want to kinda make a little bit of an income off of it because it would be nice. How do u suggest to get into making cool things for people and getting ppl to see it (using tags never works for me rip)

I'm not sure how to answer dis, seeing as how I had managed to gain a little bit of a following before I started taking comms when I was 18. I also had very cheap prices (not feasible depending on your circumstances, but it worked for me at the time) and the following I had gained was all luck with my rare fanart-of-current-popular-media pieces gaining traction, on platforms that did not yet have suppressive algorithms or a big chunk of userbase jumping ship 😭

anyway, continuing to work on and post your art in attempts to build a following first seems best since thats the jumping off point for comms...if you Enjoy Media, make fanart. if you're an ocs person like me, you can build interest while refining your work as well. i wish i could help with the tags but i get embarrassed tagging my stuff for reach now

Every tarot reading has been scarily accurate but maybe every card is applicable so it doesn’t matter, but I’m on assignment to get the fattest tits this week so I’m serving y’all some snacks too enjoy this sketch dump because my mind is scattered like a dream AND a far off memory

Play The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog

I am not kidding you when I say that this game is awesome

It has amazing artwork, funny dialogue, an intriguing story and a bunch of characters come back for this game like Espio, Vector, Shadow, Blaze, etc.

It’s also free, so anyone can play it

You will not regret it :D

[angiestown]

so after using my free blaze for the month, my takeaway is that blazing a post isn't worth it unless your post is really good I guess. you get a few likes for 30 minutes and then nothing and also probably get silently blocked by a lot of people lmao

he’s got that glow… iykwim
