#his name is Troy btw

[the-silver-sparrow]

So I have a shark plushie that came with a tear on the bottom (don't be weird abt it), and I basically started saying that he's a trans shark bc why not

Today, I randomly decided I should learn basic stitching and fix him and some of my other plushies, which also had tears, playfully calling it their "surgeries"

Only after I was done did it dawn on me that I basically just gave my trans shark his bottom surgery.

Needless to say, I feel very accomplished

iliad and limbus enjoyer here, can i ask you about helen's and achilles' backstory in that limbus au of yours? tell me anything about them idc theyre cool

Heyo im glad you found em cool :D

Some context first. They're now working in a Limbus branch separate from Mephistopheles. The branch is basically Journey to The West themed instead of Dante's Inferno

I'm still kinda working on them (Iliad is so long help let alone adapting it), but to summarize it:

Helen:

She was born in a town called Sparta in a Nest (its probably close to A corp or C corp)

Castor, Pollux, and Clytemnestra are her siblings. Castor died, Pollux went missing in action, and Helen haven't talked tp Clytemnestra in many years

Also Helen had years of combat training thanks to being Spartan

Suitors come to marry Helen. Helen ended up marrying Menelaus and had Hermione.

Life was alright for her until Paris and (disguised) Aphrodite visited Sparta. Helen was made unconscious by Aphrodite and Paris took her to Troy

Helen was mind controlled and manipulated by Aphrodite during the Smoke War. She didn't like Paris either. Helen became more and more self loathing and distrustful

After the war, Menelaus tried to kill her. She was also shunned by people in the Nest, with people attempting to murder her left and right. Helen got fed up, divorced Menelaus, ran off to the Backstreets far away, and ended up working for Limbus Company

As for others... Pollux is actually still alive and they will meet again. Meanwhile Hermione became a fixer to find her mom. Helen is now the only sane person in the bus aside from Saksi (and she's Not having a good time. There's a tension between Achilles and Helen and it's not a good one)

Achilles

Achilles is a superhuman thanks to Thetis' experimentation. Thetis herself was a researcher from B Corp. Thetis knew that the City is screwed up so she made sure Achilles could survive in this crapsack world

When he was a kid, Achilles trained under Chiron to become a fixer. He also has a childhood friends to lovers situation with Patroclus

Smoke war happened, he was drafted anyway no matter how much Thetis tried to hide him. Achilles wanted some of that sweet sweet glory even though he was still a teenager

He became a war criminal, basically. And also poster boy for his side of the war

Agamemnon and Achilles had a conflict over the war prize, which made Achilles sulk for quite some time... until he found out Patroclus was killed in the war and stepped in to avenge his death

Achilles still got shot by Paris with Apollo's guidance and died from that

As for how he ended up in Limbus, he got revived years later (with Thetis' consent). Achilles of course did not like this outcome and rampaged in the facility until he was incapacitated. He then (begrudgingly) agreed to work there as long as he can die for real after his contract ends

He just wanted to see Patroclus again, and that's why he's so. grumpy.

And if you wanna learn more about my version of these two and more art of them, you can check Helen's and Achilles' profiles on Toyhouse. I also have stuff for other limbus/limbus related OCs too there

[amiti-art]

I posted about Troilus last week so I decided to clean up my old sketches of Tennes, his sister and their father for this week.

Cycnus was the king of Colonae (located near Troy) and the son of Posaidon. (His name means swan btw)

He married the princess of Troy named Procleia (she was either daughter or granddaugter Laomedon) and had 2 childern with her: Tennes and Hemithea. Some versions say that Tennes was son of Apollo and he was only being rised by Cycnus (this is going to be important later)

At some point Procleia died and Cycnus remarried. His new wife Philonome, fell in love with Tennes and when he regected her she told Cycnus that Tennes forced himself on her (or tried to). A flute-player named Eumolpus confirmed her version of events.

Enraged by this Cycnus put both Tennes and Hemithea in a wooden chest and throw them into the sea (some versions say Hemithea shared her brother's punishment willingly).

They made it safely to an island called Leukophrys (it was later renamed Tenedos) and become the new rulers of the land.

Cycuns somehow learned that his wife's accusations against Tennes were false so he buried her alived while Eumolpus (the flute-player) was stoned to death.

After founding out that his childern survived Cycnus sailed to Tenedos to ask Tennes' forgivnes and take them both home.

Tennes however didn't care for his apology and he cut the anchor ropes off the ship with an axe so Cycnus couldn't step on the land.

Tennes ruled his island for some time, he established a law which stated that the folse accusations were punisheble by death by an axe (Tennes really liked axes, didn't he).

Also flute-players were forbided from entering either the temples or the entire island.

Okay remember when I said earlier that Apollo was Tennes' real father and it was important? Yeah we're getting there.

When the Greeks were traveling to Troy they stopped on Tenedos. Thetis told Achilles that he can't kill the king of the Island because whoever kills Tennes will be killed by his father Apollo. Achilles however tried to force himself on Hemithea. Tennes tried to defend his sister but he was killed by Achilles. When Achilles realized who he killed he also killed his servant because the servant (who was sent to him by Thetis to remind him not to kill the king) failed to inform Achilles that he's about to kill the man he's not supossed to.

Some versions also mention a bigger fight and say that Tennes was also protecting his country. Most of the sources don't mention what happened to Hemithea afterwords but one text claim that she was swallowed by the earth which saved her from being violated by Achilles. Another says that she was killed by Achilles but don't mention anything about the assault.

It was forbidden to say Achilles name in the tample build after Tennes death.

Meanwhile Cycnus joined the Trojan forces and fought alongside Hector (who was his first wife's nephew btw, which means that Hector and Tennes were first cousins). Like his childern he was killed by Achilles, on the first day of the war.

On Diomedes of Argos.

Typically, when people think about their favorite heroes of the Trojan siege, they think of the likes of Achilles, or Odysseus, or even Agamemnon (or if you’re based, Hector.) And while these are all valid to whatever extent— because let’s be real, no one is choosing favorites based on who has the purest moral standpoint— they’re not exactly remembered for the noblest of reasons.

Achilles spends half of the Iliad inside his tent as a sulky burrito, and the other half slaughtering Trojans and crying over the consequences of his own actions. Odysseus is a chronic liar, and Agamemnon is Agamemnon. But at the end of the day, they’re still remembered (for better or for worse, really.)

Though, on the topic of Homeric heroes, I feel there is one who is often overlooked despite achieving great feats over the course of the epic; Diomedes of Argos. (Note: arguably the most metal of the Achaean heroes at Troy.) So, let’s rant talk about him!

Diomedes was one of the key players in Homer’s Iliad— a recount of the last year of the Trojan siege. Being summoned to fight under oath, Diomedes headed his fleet of 80 ships to Ilium. As well as having a whole chapter dedicated to how kickass he was [read more about that whole thing here], the king of Argos was also a master strategist, and extremely noble— not just in his war efforts.

For example, there are multiple points in the Iliad where he checks the leader of the Trojan expedition, Agamemnon, calling him out on his cowardice or for otherwise being an inadequate leader, [Book 9; ‘Agamemnon, I will begin by taking issue with you over your proposal… do you really believe the Greeks are the cowards and weaklings you say they are? If you for one, have set your heart on getting away, then go.’] [‘Zeus has granted you many things… He gave you the sceptre of power and the honour that comes with it, but he did not give you courage— and courage is the secret of authority.]

And one instance where he truces with the Trojan hero, Glaucus— both of them exchanging armors (on an active battlefield, btw) to honor the fact that their grandfathers had been allies, [Book 6; ‘So let us avoid each other’s spears... And let us exchange our armor so that everyone will know our grandfather’s friendship has made friends of us.’]

He is also one of the only soldiers in the war who avoids committing hubris in the entire epic, which is probably the most telling of all his virtuous traits.

Diomedes also has a proverb named after him! ‘Diomedean Necessity/Diomedean Compulsion', which basically means when someone does something for the greater good (despite the reluctance of the person in question.)

This is taken from the myth of Odysseus and Diomedes taking the wooden statue of Athena— dubbed the Palladium— from Ilium. During this heist, Odysseus tries to stab Diomedes in the back to steal the acclaim of taking the Palladium for himself.

Rather than punishing Odysseus on account of betraying his ally for personal gain, Diomedes ties him up and drags him back to camp instead, because he knew the Greeks couldn’t win the war without Odysseus’ wisdom.

Anyway, why the rant? Sure, I could sit here and convince you that he’s the coolest Greek hero, but what would I be trying to accomplish in doing so? Well, it’s simply because while every other Homeric hero is recognized and represented in modern media, Diomedes isn’t.

He wasn’t even mentioned once in Troy (2004), the film adaptation of the Iliad! Despite him being the focus of multiple chapters in the book, as well as playing a big role in the Achaean army’s over-all victory.

I’m sick of everyone (and by that, I mean most modern media) depicting him as though he was just some dude™ in the Iliad when he was actually (from a mildly biased standpoint) one of the best of the Achaeans at Troy.

TLDR; Diomedes of Argos = Based. He solos ur favs (probably. He almost killed Ajax the greater at Patroclus’ funeral games 💀)Put him in more movies/shows/games so me and the other two Diomedes fans can be happy.

[bloody-lasagne]

Cressida & Greek Mythology

So like I've noticed this when watching the show, but Cressida seems to be very closely associated with Greek Mythology. I've seen some people discuss it, but I don't see it discussed enough. Here are a few instances that I've found. Feel free to mention more if I missed any.

1. Let's begin with Cressida mentioning the story of Eros and Psyche to describe Polin's relationship. The story goes with Eros falling in love with Psyche when his original goal was to match her up with an ugly creature by order of his mother, Aphrodite. She referenced this because Colin and Penelope are in the same situation.

2) The scene with Lord Greer, with the pomegranates clearly being emphasized. My guess is that it's a reference to the goddess Persephone and the god Hades, and how he forced her to be with him against her will, dragging her to the underworld and trapping her there with pomegranate seeds. It shows that Cressida was being forced into a marriage against her will.

3) Finally, her name. Cressida. There is a Shakespeare play in 1602 called Troilus and Cressida. It took place in a Greek Mythology setting at Troy in the Trojan war. The story goes as Trolius and Cressida fall in love, but Cressida gets traded to a Greek camp because of her father and is forced to see another man. I'm not really sure if this is too much of a stretch, but there are parallels in both Shakespeare Cressida and Bridgeton Cressida. They both did what they did out of desperation. Not to mention the daddy issues btw.

[trophywifetroybarnes]

thinking abt that one post where op was showing their s/o an old childhood picture taken of the little kid soccer team their father coached during a game years ago (the picture being from when op themself was a child) only for s/o to find out they they themself were there, in the picture background, on the opposite team, and this being a woah moment for both of them.

also thinking about the bluey ep fairytale (s3ep25 i believe? fairytale spoilers ahead btw) where bandit tells his kids a "real life fairytale" which includes what he claims is the first ever meeting (short as it is!) he has with chili (his wife) from when they were kids during a vacation at a camp site. thing is, chili doesnt remember it happening although she does say that her family vacationed there often and so timelines do match up, even if she has no recollection of it. so its left open-ended (popular fan theory suggests that the girl bandit met (he didnt get her name, it was a few seconds meeting where she returns his hat to him) was actually brandy, chili's older sister)

but god, im actually thinking about troy and abed now, and how abed wanted to find moments in the study group history where they could have interacted/did interact prior to greendale. and troy's iconic "you were out there somewhere and you weren't looking for me?" to the point where i now want to write a fic where ten year old troy goes, with his uncle and cousins, to a campsite for vacation (maybe troy's parents are there, maybe his nana is there, idk i havent thought it all out yet) only for troy to have a short meeting with an older 14 year old kid. its a small thing, its a big thing, its bandit being jinxed and unable to talk until this girl reads his name off his hat and gives it back to him before walking away. its nothing. its a kid troy wont ever see again probably. its everything, because he can talk now. its forgotten because hes ten and he has a lot of things to say now that he can.

he doesnt know this kids name, he doesnt remember this, and its not until troy has sailed away, and abed is going through some old scrapbooks in apartment 303 that troy brought with him when he first moved, and he's looking at a picture of ten year old troy, arms around his cousin, big wide smiles, at a campsite, only to find there, in the background, walking across the green to his father, is abed.

its gonna wrinkle troy's brain when he finds out

[whatsagoodusername]

I just woke up a week ago and became obsessed with Greek Mythology.

...

..

.

THE ORDER OF THE BEST GODS ARE

1 HERMES

2 APOLLO

3 ATHENA

4 GANYMEDE (Ok so technically he's not a god but he did get immortality and eternal youth by Zeus so I'm counting him)

5 ARTEMIS

6 HEPHESTUS

7 HERA

And that's all folks, those are the only one's with rankings, tell me your favorite Greek god, Percy Jackson, or Epic the Musical character in the comments below.

Also by the way this is supposed to be Ganymede if you've never heard of him. Basically the gist of his kidnapping across the various versions is that he was a son of Tros (A ruler or Troy). He was tending to his sheep when all the sudden Zeus as and eagle OR Zeus' eagle (Depending on the version) kidnap him. Why you might be saying? Well duh it's 'cause this immortal 1000+ year old man thought he was the most handsome mortal ever. Then Zeus basically said "Well you're really hot and handsome and I love you so you can be our cup bearer instead of Hebe (Goddess of Youth) because, well, like I said you're really hot." For all my non-ace's in the audience I tried to find an attractive depiction of him and I think this one might be it but most of the time he just looks like this...

Here are some more funfacts about Ganymede.

Ganymede and Zeus' relationship as stated a bit above is ....weird to say that least. Right? If you didn't say yes you've been reading way to much old men Yaoi. Well unfortunately this was a very common practice primarily in Japan (Specifically amoung Samurai) and ancient Greece. This practice was called Pederasty. Which was when a young man and an older man well... they did it (Dear all fanfiction writers this is weird don't write old men yaoi about this) I believe that this tradition comes from this so like Zeus didn't even know about this process and just said it was ok.

This one's for my astrology girlies and guys who just love space so much! The largest moon in our solar system is also named 'Ganymede' being 3,273.5 mil across ( 5268.18758km I looked that up BTW) is orbiting Jupiter. Jupiter is the Greek name for Zeus, I assume you know where this is going. It was fittingly named for their relationship with each other. The funniest part of this whole thing is that Hera, you know Zeus' wife AND SISTER! Isn't one of his 4 moons Ganymede, Lo, Callisto, and Europa. That's just tragic.

i love thinking about apollos anatolian origins 😵‍💫

It stews in the back of my head too :3

There was this really good podcast on Spotify I found about Ancient Greece, and I listened to his Apollo episode first (because I honestly can't stomach the ones who paint him as 'terrible assaulter'/'epitome of the patriarchy'. Can't stand it. Seriously, there was this so-called 'feminist' mythology podcast i found and I Noped out of there as fast as I could - she didn't even mention Eros's involvement in the Daphne myth! She immediately went 'Apollo: the man who doesn't know the meaning of No' and I was like I'M OUTTA HERE.)

(It's very hard to find good Apollo content out there when you have educated yourself on what he's actually like :( )

(At least you immediately know those people didn't do their research shrug)

Thankfully, this one had a really good, really in-depth discussion about Apollo; his origins, his domains, his myths, ect!

COMPLETELY FREE OF BIAS TOO! HE JUST GIVES YOU THE FACTS, THE SYMBOLISM OF THE MYTHS, HOW THE CULTURE INFLUENCED THEM, ECT!

On my first (and only rn) listen I was like "damn i need to take notes on this sometime" that's how in-depth it is!

Here's the episode link if anybody is interested, btw!

What's cool is that he said that before Apollo came along, oracles and the like weren't as common in Greece - they existed, because Gaea was a thing - however, when he was imported in (possibly also with Leto! She has Anatolian origins too!), oracles became more of a thing as Apollo's popularity skyrocketed!

If you look at the number of Oracles Apollo had, you'd also notice that a lot of them are in Anatolia (Turkey today)!. Didyma, Miletus, Claros, ect ect! I think this just adds to the theory that Apollo's main origins come from Anatolia! When he moved to Greece, oracles came with him!

Which is so cool because in my drafts I currently have a picture of a webchart I made of Apollo's (many) domains, and I narrowed down the ones I think are his Big Ones - and Prophecy is one of them.

Very cool that Prophecy has always been part of him <3

Also, Apollo has many cities he is the patron of in Anatolia - Troy is obvious, but the island of Tenedos was his too (his son Tenes founded the city there), and he was the patron of Miletus (the city where he met Branchus btw for my Branchus fans out there)!

And going to Leto real quick, her migration from Anatolia religion to Greece's is probably represented in the Hymn to Apollo! Sometimes myths about wandering from place to place were meant to symbolize the importation of a god (Aphrodite floating ashore of Cythera, for example), and Leto...well, she was doing a lot more than the typical wandering in the hymn, but it still fits!

Some versions say she was guided to Delos by wolves from Hyperborea, others say Boreas helped her escape Python, still others claim a rooster was present when she finally was able to give birth and thus became her sacred animal (also she apparently gave birth to Apollo as a wolf? I don't quite remember which version says that but it's something I've heard XD).

Also Delos was very self-conscious about Apollo being born on it because it was afraid he would judge it for not being up to typical island standards XD

Moving to Apaliunas now! He's a Hittite god, but I haven't been able to find out of what :( The main piece of evidence we have of his relation with Apollo is Troy - Apaliunas was the god of Wilusa, who has been found out to be another name for Troy! There was a treaty signed between Wilusa and another city, and the representative of Wilusa's name was commonly translated to "Of Ilios" - and Ilios was another name for Illium, aka Troy.

(Fun fact: The son Apollo had with Ourea was named Ileus, after Troy! They are but a footnote in mythology but I made them Important in my Troy fic XD)

Plus, Apaliunas's name was connected to the Hittite reflex of Apeljōn, which scholars have theorized to be an early form of Apollo's name - remember Apollon? :D

Apollo also has connections to various other deities - the Italian Etruscan god Apulu (Aplu), the Celtic god Grannus, his Egyptian equivalent is Horus and his Phoenician one is Resheph! He's also been identified with Baldur from Norse mythology.

Apollo be wearing that trenchcoat, and he is wearing it well XD

here’s a band I came up with in my head while listening to a song. They’re completely fictional btw. They’re inspired by The Move and The Beatles.

The Inserts (formed in 1965 in Birmingham, England)

Members:

Johnny Everglades (b. July 15, 1945) - Leader of the band and lead vocals. He doesn’t play anything. Went to primary and secondary school with Carter Greensfield and formed a couple of bands with him while they were still in school. He has brown hair.

Carter Greensfield (b. August 4, 1945) - guitar. He has brown hair as well.

Gevy Levy (b. November 25, 1944) - drums. His name is often misspelled in the newspapers. He got used to it. He has mousey hair

Troy McSorrow (b. March 14, 1946) - Bass. He has blonde hair

Roger Clearing (b. December 30, 1947) - Guitar. Youngest and newest member of the band. He has light brown and curly hair and puffy hair, although his curls don’t really show since his hair is so short. He’ll probably grow it out in either 1968 or 1969

they play this song (this was the song that inspired me btw)

in the music video for this song, I imagine Johnny Everglades to wear leather gloves and black eyeliner. And I imagine Carter Greensfield to wear red-tinted circular glasses. 

they’re all wearing colored suits with the same hairstyles. Same as this photo of the move:

towards the end of the music video, Johnny starts destroying the equipment with an axe and Troy sets the equipment on fire. Then they take a bow and leave.

The video takes place in August, 1967.

Let me know what you guys think!!

Any Jeff the killer general hcs?? Btw i love all of your headcanons so much!! :3

HOLY FUCK!! I’m baffled that people actually see meeee I will never get used to it smh

Jeff the Killer HCs Part 1

I have a small huge obsession with the OR in my au bc I love giving these boys a shit ton of ✨trauma✨

Really this is just an origin story with a side of head cannons

There’s gonna be a lot of sensitive topics again: SA/CSA, abuse, ignorance to abuse, gore?, $ui¢!de, Jeff got second hand trauma from Liu’s trauma

Least Sensitive > Mildly Sensitive > Most Sensitive

Background

An average spoiled American kid.

His parents fucking dote on him.

He pronounces Liu “loo” and Liu never corrected him, so that’s his name now.

Liu cooks for him, because he can’t do shit.

Origins: all the warnings from earlier

He became a serial killer at 15.

Randy Keith and Troy didn’t mess with him nearly as much as you’d think mainly cuz of Liu 😔

Jeff slowly caught on that something was wrong when he heard Liu crying in his room ever night and he tried to investigate

However, when Jeff figured it out…. The pricks kinda made him watch…. Liu did not know he saw anything

And that’s where the spiral starts-

After this traumatizing experience- the next time he sees them he rocks their shit! And, in typical(?) defensive older brother fashion, Liu takes the blame and gets sent to prison.

While Liu is gone, Jeff gets in another fucking fight with them, and gets covered in blood, bleach, and alcohol (which is highly flammable)

Aaaaannnnnddd he gets burned alive…

Liu gets bailed out by his mom while this is going on, so next thing she and Liu know: Jeff’s in the hospital-

Jeff is upset, ofc, and when Liu shows he lights up!! Only for Liu to grab his hand, say “I’ll see you again” and leave.

When Jeff gets home that day, he wants to see Liu- makes sense. But he finds Liu hanging from the ceiling fan.

Like a sensible person, he runs to his dad for help big mistake

His dad tells him to get over it, and when Jeff starts crying, drags him to the bathroom telling him to “just shut up and smile.”

He cuts a smile into his son’s face, then leaves him there sobbing on the floor- still begging for mercy…

I think we know the rest

Holy hell that was depressing-

Im gonna make a part two that’s less…. Sad…

Hope this ok, dear requester!

In honor of my graduation, here are my favorite stories to tell about my high school experience

In my first week of freshman year, I watched a kid snort cocaine off his desk. To this day, that is the most blatant in-class drug use I’ve ever witnessed.

Freshman year, ancient literature class, our teacher had a week where he was in a bad mood. We brought in his favorite candy to give him as we walked in the door. He was completely baffled and claimed he was never in a bad mood to begin with.

Sophomore year, AP Biology, I wrote a lab report on mitosis. I wrote the phrase “cells divide during this process.” My teacher counted me points off and wrote back “Cells can’t do math.”

Sophomore year, AP World History, our teacher mentioned she once had a class with a pet fish. She said as long as we took care of it and she didn’t have to deal with it she didn’t care. I brought a fish and a fish tank into school and our fish, lovingly named Frank, remained our class mascot for the rest of the semester. Name suggestions included: Beta Mussolini (vetoed), Beta Male, Sparta-fish

Sophomore year, our spring musical was High School Musical. The day of opening night, our male lead (playing Troy) got hit by a car walking to get food before the show. He still went on that night and our director didn’t even find out about it until two weeks later when the show was over.

My junior year APUSH teacher said that she wouldn’t panic if I died in her classroom (lightheartedly playing off a joke I had made), I thought it was hilarious. 2 months later, I had seizure on the floor of her classroom. Low and behold, she was perfectly calm the entire time.

Same year, same class as the above story. A girl in my class (a friend of mine) witnessed a guy get shot point blank at an intersection on her way to school. She came in was like, “I just saw a guy get shot😐.” Teacher sent her to the counselor.

my senior year calculus teacher had pet lizards and decided to start breeding cockroaches for them. in his classroom. sometimes he’d throw cockroaches at kids to scare them. he also accidentally bred an albino cockroach and that was pretty cool.

in a single day of school senior year, a student got run over on the crosswalk in front of our school in the morning, a teacher had a heart attack during first hour, and a fight broke out during lunch and the kid jumped on a lunch table and kicked the other guy in the face. (no one died btw) (it was also the day i got rejected from my dream school lmao)

another day in second semester, in the morning there was a four car accident in the school parking lot that took out an entire light pole. not one to be out done, three hours later our senior class president drove through a wall like three feet to the left of the first accident.

love a good american public school🤘🏼🤘🏼
