hot take but the more i read and the more i see classics nerds online get mad about classics adaptation authors who dare to have not read every single ancient text before putting pen to paper, the more i think we all need to realise that classicist does not necessarily equal good writer.
there are classicists who are good writers and there are those who know nothing AND write badly but i genuinely think there’s nothing wrong with someone who writes an entertaining book about ancient myth characters and has read the bits of the iliad or whatever that they find relevant but who hasn’t written a dissertation on it. i think someone is just cranky that they did write a dissertation on it and people read a book from a bookshop instead of that. because of course they did.
like why does it matter? hm? who decided that a story needs to be perfectly accurate anyway? is it not enough to be an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon? i mean honestly a book that is actually perfectly accurate to ancient greek myths would be filled with plot holes and contradictions anyway, because the myths often don’t fit together all that neatly.
i know hating on things is fun but reading is supposed to be fun too guys.

Was listening to "Wouldn't you like" on repeat at the gym today, had to get these off my head (and also finally draw Circe-)
Also in the first one, Hermes is basically adding wood to the fire (with a saying that we have where I live) because I thought it'd be funny to imagine him watching the fight and being an annoying goof sakjdghag

MORE HERMES ART!! I felt jelly of everyone with cool caduceus staffs— so I drew my Hermes with his! Thought the fire was cool, perhaps how he prevents the dead from getting lost LMAO.

'Cause I'm stuck with your stories
#epic the musical#telemachus#odysseus#hermes#athena#circe#will I get beat up labeling this as another ‘rkgk’#ok technically the ‘stories’ Telemachus knew wouldn’t be of the odyssey but let me have my epic lyrical moment#I just needed to get this composition out of my head#in another universe I’m more patient to color this </3

Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.
As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.
If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.
No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.
As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.
If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.
