Diana et Callisto; Federico Cervelli 17th AD

[sarafangirlart]

I know it’s bc it’s such an absurd concept but it really rubs me the wrong way how there are so many comedic adaptations of Alcmene’s rape, that shit is horror.

turf wars fr fr Featuring Callisto from @the-star-and-sea​

[bebemort]

Novel spoiler!

In the special chapters it was made known that Callisto ordered all men in the palace who had blond hair to dye it, including his assistant. But Cedric has dark hair from the first appearance that happened after the trial when the Crown Prince is still unconscious.

So... Is that an omission or the motherlover literally gived the order when he was dying from poison?

Just leaving the poor man here, appreciate his service more

We Need To Sign A Petition To Give Our Boy A Break

Ngl this panel had me cackling

Man needs a vacation and a pay raise XDDDDD

Calli, baby we love you, but if you suddenly run away from a meeting with out any warning like a total madman, I'm going to feel bad for our Cedric... (look at Callisto sprint out that door)

Also it's funny how Cedric's seriously discussed his concerns about Callisto's mental health with a physician before

And lastly...

If Cedric wishes for a lover -- even if it's just to get Callisto to stop teasing him about being single --

I'm open. He can take me. I'll even do some of his work. I'll also do anything I can to soothe his pains after putting up with a boss like him all day. I'll love him too even tho Callisto is the true master of my heart I mean just look at our sunshine in the latest episodes

[naivegh0ul]

(radio announcer voice) last night at dnd! our intrepid heroes have stumbled into a pirate gig and are setting a course for waterdeep, but not all is well in the hold!

captain is hot

both the old man wizard and the twunk drow barbarian are trying to fuck him UNTIL...

he appears to know too much about the barbarians past in waterdeep

he seems to be lying about his cargo, or at least not telling the full truth

he flirts with both the ranger (idiot) and cal (dyke)

but we agreed to join the crew anyway, against our better judgement, because we were given a tip telling us it's the right way to go to finish our quest (and the pay is 40 gold a week, that's more than half of them have ever made in their lives). ranger is acting navigator, we've got the wizard helping the ship medic, the barbarian doing whatever the fuck w the sails bc he's strong as shit, and cal and the monk (previously a pirate himself) acting as powder monkeys. things only got weirder from there

ranger has never seen barnacles before. he quietly tries to speak to them, in awe of this new creature, only to be sung at barbershop-quartet style

he's also hungover and has never been on a boat he's about to invent new kinds of seasickness

cal isn't great at being a powder monkey- gets fed up with how big and inconvenient the cannons are bc she can't clean them right. monk says they have to be that big to do damage to other ships. cal retorts that maybe there should be smaller cannons, like hand-size, but they could just use more of them instead. monk and cal invent the world's first gun

the captain calls cal calliope. she corrects him because she doesn't go by her full name. nobody told him her full name how the fuck does he know her full name.

(cal joined in part bc she thought you couldn't get arrested on the ocean if this motherfucker knows her or god forbid has met her enemy on the guard she's so fucking dead)

a storm rolls in and almost knocks cal and another sailor overboard. an octopus is flung onto the monk's face. she's screaming about almost dying, he's screaming about the kraken, the barbarian is rescuing people left and right like the cover of a romance novel

... and after it's over, a coffin bound in heavy chains is laying on the deck of the ship

it's gonna be a long way to waterdeep.

Hey everybody, meet Domino!

She’s a two-time teen mom down on her luck, but she’s left her bad home situation behind, gotten vaxxed, spayed and treated for fleas, and now she is ours!

The first time I saw her, I thought from her size she was probably six months old, but that’s what happens when dumbass humans let their four month old kittens get pregnant, and then don’t fix her afterward so their eight month old kitten gets pregnant again! Poor Domino’s body has spent most of her life growing other kittens instead of herself. She’s skinny as a rail and about 2/3 the size of Callisto in all dimensions, but she is sweet and brave and we all fell in love with her instantly. (Except Callisto, who is getting a supervised introduction, but we are pretty confident that these two yearling girlies will become friends and playmates.)

As for Callisto, she is very unsure about this new development, but she does like the “getting wrapped in a blanket” portion of scent introductions.

I once answered a question about who my least favorite god was. In my answer I said that I believe that each greek god is flawed, because ancient greek philosophers imagined the gods to have a human nature. I also added I strongly believe that each greek god represents a specific flaw. Well, I wanna share it with you guys!

The flaws each god represents are:

Zeus: adultery and disloyalty, we all can agree on this

Hera: jealousy and malice, I mean she was cheated on constantly, but she shouldn't make victims the one's who are not responsible, especially Zeus' children

Poseidon: egotism and feeling inferior, because if you think that he wanted Zeus' throne and he made Odysseus' life unbearable and impossible for him to return home, that's what it is.

Demeter: stubbornness, because you can't make the whole world starve to death. I know that losing your child is a big deal, but still tge poor mortals shouldn't have endured her rage.

Athena: feeling superior, and for me it's not a good thing to have. She took Zeus' permission to hurt Ares and when she defeated him she pointed out how inferior he was.

Artemis: she was cruel for killing her companion Callisto, when the one to blame was Zeus for taking the appearance of Artemis to seduce her.

Hermes: cleptomania and lying, he was a sweet talker and a trickster and never hesitated to use those against anyone, be it serious or just have fun.

Apollo: Killing Koronis because she was unfaithful, while she was pregnant to his child is beyond cruel. And let's not forget that no greek god was faithful to their lovers, so it's kinda hypocritical.

Ares: Not putting his mind to work and always being spontaneous and sentimental. Also, he was indecisive and never cared about consequences, because he broke his promise to Hera and Athena about his side on the Trojan war, but it's not really his forte to choose sides on a war.

Hephaestus: He wanted so badly to be accepted by his family, that he lost reasoning when he trapped Ares and Aphrodite on his bed. Not that Ares and Aphrodite were right, but if we take the myth that Ares and Aphrodite had children and were together before the incident, then it was cruel of Hephaestus to separate them to marry Aphrodite.

Aphrodite: Full of herself, she couldn't accept that someone was more beautiful than her, and also vindictive towards Helios daughter and Eos.

Hades: Doing whatever he wants. You can't just abduct Persephone taking Zeus approval and let Demeter suffer.

Dionysus: alcoholic. We can all agree to that the god of wine constantly drinks wine.

Hestia: Nothing about her. She never meddled in drama or caused any problems!

That's my pint of view about their flaws. I don't want anyone to get offended if they like a certain god, this is just my opinion based on events. I bad-mouthed everyone here!😂😜

What do you think? Is there anything else you may wanna add? Write it in the comments!

[brotherslayer]

@artistic-nobody Where did I say that his trauma gives him the right to hurt others? I never said it was black and white. If it was black and white I wouldn't have written that he was not a flawless victim who makes mistakes. What he did to his own countrymen was unforgiveable. Iklies isn't blameless but the majority of the fault lies within the Eckart Duchy + the royal family + to an extent Leila. I don't feel the need to point out what he did wrong and write endless essays on it because those essays already exist and Iklies is a villain for a reason (how dubious the decision may be). The heroes Callisto and Cha Siyeon on the other hand did far worse things than the villain. Their actions can't be excused with "but the villain did it too." Heroes and villains can't be held to the same standards. If the heroes act just like the villains, do they even deserve the title of a hero? Even more so when they wronged the other first.

Cha Siyeon being an abusive victim doesn't mean she can't be abusive. And Iklies being abusive doesn't mean he isn't an abusive victim. This post is about how Iklies' trauma is being invalidated, even outright denied, by the fandom while Cha Siyeon's trauma is used as a shield to protect her from criticism.

The thing about Iklies being abused by Cha Siyeon is that people think for that to be true Iklies needs to be a flawless perfect victim who never does anything wrong. Readers frequently bring up Iklies' behaviour after his abandonment by Penelope as a proof that he is dangerous, unstable and mentally ill and think it somehow cancels out what Cha Siyeon has done to him. Reactive abuse occurs when the victim reacts to the abuse they are experiencing. Abuse victims may scream, toss out insults, or lash out physically at the abuser, act manipulative and even threaten self-harm. Iklies could murder the entire duchy in cold blood and this crime wouldn't make the horrors of slavery, grooming and emotional abuse that he experienced any less real. When you commit a sin it does not absolve the one who wronged you first of his own sins against you. Nor does it mean you had it coming. The dehumanization that you experienced in the past cannot be seen as rightful punishment for things you will do in the future. Nothing you do in the present should be used as justification of the abuse of your innocent self in the past.

Calisto doodle dump!!!

I love her so much she is my poor little meow meow mech pilot.

She has the ace playbook but is absolutely terrified of connection with her mech

[neptuneishereforfun]

im here:D

It's my first comic LOL

In this episode I can't belive that Triton is love Callisto so much even he is dreaming about her.

But poor Io he's the third weel 😭 I feel bad for him (he's single like me💀)

And why is Triton have to yelled at Neptune it's deffinetly not his fault he captured hím.

But despite this I really enjoyed this episode too.

[yallemagne]

So I finished the first season of X-Men: The Animated Series of course. Highlights?

Episode 1 & 2: Night of the Sentinels

Jubilee's father really fuckin sold her out huh? And holy shit the fucking sentinels. Dog, why did you MAKE THEM SO BIG. I had expected like that they started small and got bigger ones when the X-Men were revealed, but no, without even alerting the nation that they were making these robots, they sent a giant ass robot into a mall to capture one teenager.

Me pointing out "huh Morph is getting a lot of moments here, I like it" followed by them immediately dying. Like damn. They really did that. No wonder the creators backed out of having Thunderbird be in Morph's role, that would have just been insulting. Especially since he probably wouldn't have been brought back.

"Tell Cyclops... I made him a convertible."

Cyclops refuses to apologize for leaving without Morph and Beast but instead offers Logan an opportunity for revenge. It's so them. These petty bastards.

Episode 3: Enter Magneto

Beast... you're so silly. So, Beast refuses a rescue by Magneto (he's imprisoned) because "I'm awaiting a fair trial that will prove my innocence"... girl. You are a giant blue man. So, yeah, another case where Magneto was right.

Sabretooth is such a fake-ass bitch, I love it. So, he shows up at the trial causing a ruckus and gets injured and the X-Men take him in and start treating him like their pathetic little meow meow. This couldn't possibly go wrong.

"Come on, they're gonna kill him!" "Good." *turns around* "WHAT?"

"He's a threat." "He was near death." "Not near enough."

They just keep giving Wolverine all the best lines.

Episode 4: Deadly Reunions

Sabretooth, my poor little meow meow... all you did was a few itty bitty kitty murders... That's what Charles is saying at the start of this episode.

Xavier truly does try to get to the root of Sabretooth's anger with some super therapy, but alas, Sabretooth is just That Bitch. We do know that a competent telepath can temper his anger though, just look at Birdy.

They leave Jubilee alone with him acknowledging full well "this man is more dangerous than Wolverine... have fun babysitting!" He's restrained in a chair growling "let me at 'em" as Senator Kelly is being racist on TV and Jubilee very kindly turns it off and he's like "sowwy I'm twying to be a good boy... 😿" So of course Jubilee sees his restraints are hurting his wrists and releases him to help. Hahahaha. Oh girl.

If this were a show being produced today, I could totally see Sabretooth being accepted by the X-Men because "daww look he's angry just like you Wolverine" being drawn out into a longer arc where he actually gains their trust so it creates a genuine rift in the team... but also maybe he's not that patient for a scheme like that.

(also I know the show probably isn't going with the continuity that they're blood-related, but Wolverine telling them Sabretooth is nothing but trouble and getting hit with "but he's just like you 🥺" is very brother-coded okay?? Anyone who has a terrible older brother can relate.)

"Alright you egg-sucking piece of gutter trash. You always liked pushing around people smaller than you. WELL, I'M SMALLER! TRY PUSHING ME!!" << that's some little brother dialogue.

(… Morph would have listened to Wolverine about Sabretooth. Morph knows the Deep Lore.)

Episode 5: Captive Hearts

Callisto saw Cyclops and immediately said "I'm gonna make him my trophy husband", and while that is a valid reaction, no means no, hun.

They literally establish Storm as the Morlock's future Moses basically with her promising to come back for them when the time is right and they feel safe to breech the surface. And then they gave Magneto that role in '97. Ugh. He has the nerve to say Xavier just left them down there when it was in fact Storm that respected their right to self-determination.

Episode 6: Cold Vengeance

I love every time I see Sabretooth, he's just so silly-looking. No wonder everyone else imprinted on him like "hehe silly orange kitty" he's so BIG. He's incredibly top-heavy, just look at his bazongas.

We got through this with no sacrifice of Inuit life but a sombre sentiment that they'll be abandoning the old ways rather than rebuilding their homes.

Episode 7: Slave Island

Jubilee and Gambit have a nice little dynamic. He's the first person Jubilee used her powers to protect and she does it multiple times. I imagine he's like her cool older brother with street smarts.

No wonder Gambit was suspicious of Genosha in '97. Can't really trust that all is well when the foundation of that place was quite literally built with slavery.

This just makes Magneto's "tsk tsk Charles didn't use his wealth and resources to ship a load of UNWILLING Morlocks to Genosha for their own good" comment in '97 all the more frustrating. Man can be a dumbass.

Anyway--- CABLE CABLE CABLE. My silly little big boy.

Episode 8: The Unstoppable Juggernaut

Juggernaut is such a funny guy. I feel like usually, the big guys don't get to be the wise-cracking type, so this piece of shit was fun to watch.

Also just love Colossus, he's perfect.

Episode 9: The Cure

It's hard to feel bad for Warren when he's literally rich and funding a project that can be easily weaponized to hurt mutants. Sure, he was tricked and wasn't actually funding his "cure", but it would have been awful even if he got what he wanted. Just wear one of those collars for the rest of your life, jackass.

HOW IS NO ONE CHECKING IN ON THIS RESEARCH?? This experimentation on human beings is taking place with no government interference???

Pyro and Avalanche are fucking don't even try to convince me otherwise. Pyro, I don't care where you are from, I'm gonna be so weird about you calling every man you meet “darling”.

Episode 10: Come the Apocalypse

The public will see literally any villain and be like "A RENEGADE MUTANT!!" Like yeah sure I think Apocalypse technically is a mutant?? But like they really just profile all criminals as mutants.

Again, not sorry for you, rich boy.

Poor Rogue, having to absorb all these men's damage.

Episode 11 & 12: Days of Future Past

Bishop is a fucking traitor holy shit. Sure he gets better but damn. Girly was really like "The face-eating jaguars would never eat my face." and then was immediately told he was no longer needed.

"Someone... or something has come back through the time portal." "CHECK PLEASE! TIME PORTAL?"

"You kids better behave yourselves; I'm staying behind to babysit."

"Okay, ROUND BOY. Let's dance."

Wolverine has all the best lines.

Wonder why Mystique specifically chose to impersonate Gambit for the assassination. Perhaps he seemed the most likely? Perhaps a grudge against him for his relationship with Rogue?

Episode 13: The Final Decision

I'm so fucking disappointed that the fate of mutantkind lies in the hands of Senator Kelly because, dog, I wanna shoot him.

When you make a giant racist robot factory and even the giant racist robot factory is smart enough to recognize that mutant rights are human rights and so it resolves to protect humanity by replacing it with robots. Fucking dumbasses.

Honestly makes you wonder what the fuck Trask thought he was doing coming back in the new series. He knew that starting up another Master Mold would inevitably lead to the robots replacing politicians' brains with computers and he DID IT AGAIN ANYWAY.

Seeing Chuck and Magnus working together always warms my heart. And then they go right back to being enemies.

That Mister Sinister teaser at the end was... I'm not gonna say it.

[eloise175]

Scared Callisto and Penelope will forever be priceless, they look so silly 🥹

Villains are destined to die, preview of Ep. 121!

"If we don't leave now, we'll all be drowned!"

Penelope is shocked by the appearance of an unexpected person.

Waves hit them through the collapsing cave before they even have time to worry!

[sarafangirlart]

It’s fascinating how… indifferent, Perseus and Zeus are to each other… like we don’t really get any indications of their relationship be we (I) can speculate.

When Danaë was locked in a box with Perseus, Zeus sometimes orders Poseidon to rescue them, but sometimes it’s the nereids who rescue them out of their own volition. Also… why Seriphos? In antiquity it had a bad reputation for being poor and Roman emperors used it to banish their enemies so kinda weird. That’s not to mention that in some versions Polydectes straight up enslaves Danaë and Perseus, and does Zeus do anything about it since their predicament is his fault? No, granted this isn’t the only time Zeus abandoned his victim to be enslaved bc of his actions (look up Antiope).

When Perseus grew up, he never showed any interest in meeting his biological father, while his brother/descendant Heracles did. Guess Dictys was that much of a great dad lol. When Hermes and Athena assisted him, it was out of their own volition, not bc Zeus ordered them to, compare that to Zeus ordering Athena to help Heracles when he was in distress.

According to Ovid, Perseus made sacrifices to Hermes, Athena and Zeus, but sacrificing to a god doesn’t necessarily mean you like or dislike them (look at Agamemnon and Artemis) and it could be argued that he sacrificed to Zeus out of decorum rather than out of gratitude. But also there is a scene in the metamorphosis where Perseus talks to Atlas like “hey bro my dad is Zeus but if you don’t find that impressive I did this really cool quest, either way can I crash in your place?” Which idk is kinda funny, it implies he doesn’t mind that Atlas wouldn’t find being the son of Zeus impressive he just wanted a place to sleep.

Also it was Athena who turned Perseus into a constellation, not Zeus, it’s not like he can’t bc he turned his victims Callisto and Ganymede into constellations.

Ironically Hera seems to favor Perseus more than Zeus, but that relationship is mainly referenced in the Dionysiaca so take it with a grain of salt.

A lot of ppl point out that being a product of rape has affected Perseus, and that’s why he’s so protective of his mother and her agency, and why he has no interest in meeting his biological father, which I think is plausible.

Idk maybe I’m just imagining things bc Zeus is a dead beat to the vast majority of his children.
