Bug World AU Orgalorg's form! They crash at Liam's place while trying to figure things out about what they want to do.

After everything that's happened to them, with Simon and Turtle Princess, they feel kinda… empty inside.

Liam pretty much goes, "Ooooh you miss having family. Well guess what- you're apart of my family now." Liam's lil bug kids are just not used to this new being visiting, they get used to Org eventually. Going to be led up to through this heheheh.

god do any of you ever think about how Guru Pathik said "Love is a form of energy and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads love for you has not left this world, it is still inside of your heart, and is reborn as new love."

that shit hit teenage!me like a truck.

and then they showed the Air Nomads reforming into Katara first laying eyes on Aang and smiling at him, as if he's the most precious thing in the world.

imagine how immeasurable Katara's affection for Aang has to be.

these two invented love.

Why did Persephone kill an entire town.why did Rachel have to make it so that Persephone was a mass murderer of children,mother,and babies instead of just a few men that clearly disrespected her.

Honestly,like that it makes more sense for the audience to not only root for her(and for other examples of AoW’s being brought up in comparison) and for Helios not to report the crime to someone.

Also,perse is only really guilty until after she’s prosecuted.its very “only sorry after getting caught” vibes.

Remember how I wondered if the Apollo kids were bad at frisbee?

Well i remembered a myth that is literally just Hyacinthus and Apollo but instead of Apollo it's Hermes and instead of Hyacinthus it's this Arkadian youth called Krokos (Crocus) and Zephyrus isn't involved

So i raise you,

Hermes kids are bad at Frisbee

Instead of monsters, Thalia got taken out by Luke's skill issue.

I don't care much about some minute controversy on TikTok, but I care about saffron (greek: Krokos)! Saffron probably originated in Greece and today Greek saffron is very popular abroad. At the same time, countries like Spain and Iran are also cultivating large quantities of saffron. (Saffron bros!)

Our ancients used saffron to add flavor and color to rice dishes, sauces, and desserts. In medicine, saffron was believed to have analgesic and antispasmodic properties, and it was used for digestive issues and as an aphrodisiac. Saffron was also employed in perfumes and cosmetics. It held religious and ceremonial importance, often used in rituals and festivals.

According to our myths, Krokos was Hermes' lover and the god accidentally wounded him with a diskos, and Krokos perished. Where his blood fell, the saffron flower grew with the three red styles containing his blood. There are also variations of the myth with Krokos and the nymph Smilax.

"It's a dragon, a toucan, a parrot, a Disney dog, a cobra, a horse, a centaur (not to be mistaken with horse), an ostrich, a dinosaur, and a pentapod!"

"Oh yeah, the Ancient Greeks called the original one the Snalvos."

"Da fuq?!"

"Yeah! A servant of the Goddess Hecate who would illuminate ropes and lines for sailors and farmers and others toiling at night. One of the objectives in the Perseus gaiden was a piece of rope still glowing with the light of the Snalvos, but Perseus had to search by it for day in a pile of ropes that were all shining under the bright sunlight. He had to charm Nephele to get her to bring him a cloud to blot out the sunlight, and then after finding the right rope he had to get out of there in a hurry when Zeus was angered by the cloud marring his pristine summer sky."

"Wow!"

"Anyway, the Snalvos' descendants are counted in Greek mythology among the great τέρας."

"My girlfriend's name is Tera!"

"Well, she obviously has classical breeding and possibly five legs."

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!" 😰

okay so a couple more nuanced thoughts about the whole JayVik thing

if you're not satisfied with the ending we got for them, I get it.

I know ppl have been handing this around celebrating that all the queers get something in Arcane but. I mean, MAN if this lineup isn't a perfect illustration of where there's still work to be done when it comes to equal treatment of queer relationships in media.

but at the same time, personally, I'm still mostly satisfied with what we got. and not because of "let men be platonic friends". cause jfc how often do we have to say it: they are never anything BUT platonic friends. "the moment is stronger because it's platonic" look, as a whole ass aspec person: shut. the moment would not have been cheapened by a queer kiss. but I digress.

the reason I'm alright with this might be because I expected worse. like, way worse. that, and also this moment did not feel cynical to me, or queerbait-y, or like it was trying to satisfy all sides. it felt very earnest to me.

and I haven't kept up with creator interviews or anything, but from what I've gathered, there seems to have been a certain. lack of unity? when it comes to how the different parties viewed the relationship between JayVik, starting with LoL's notorious reluctance to confirm male characters' queerness, and ending with statements from writers and staff being pretty contradictory when it comes to these two.

so personally, this looks to me like a situation that might be a bit similar to Korrasami. it's giving "we all know what this is, but this is as far as we can/are willing to go."

do I still think that's kind of unfair? yeah.

do I have a couple other gripes with Arcane, and esp its ending? you know it! (mostly as in. Jinx is not really dead. right? you can't be fr about that.)

but when I add everything up, I'm walking out of this with a very positive tally. and that includes JayVik. and I think recognizing that there's still work to be done is important, but I also think if you're handed one of the most epic queer love stories in history, even if it doesn't dare speak its name, it's alright to be happy about it!

Jesus Had Boundaries by Julie Arduini

A friend recently looked at my Goodreads reading list and found it funny that for a fiction author, my reading consists of a lot of nonfiction. I love learning! This season I have been working through a lot of Bible studies and related materials. There has been Rebekah Lyons and Building a Resilient Life. Alisa Keeton and The Body Revelation. Laura Krokos and You are Unshaken. These books are…
