I have a question

Ok.

the Drawing is really cool , but I want Undestand how!

what Happend inside this AU and why Odysseus is become...the Poseidon Horse??

there is a story about this? I'm Really curious to know this!!

The story is in my Brain and I try to terribly explain it in my tags but this is like the third at most time I am posting about this one I believe?

Alright so explanation, I have a habit of making aus where Odysseus is either, blinded in one/both eyes, turned into something or just already is something…

There might be more to that but I can’t remember atm oop.

Oh yeah angst.

Anyways.

Okay so, basic story is, Odysseus gets turned into a horse just as he’s nearly finally near the lands close to Ithaca, just as he’s about to reach dry ground. Poseidon desires death is a too kind fate, and binds him eternally to the sea as a wild stallion unable to cross to dry land. Cursed to run across the waves. To never step foot upon his home again.

Of course, he isn’t just an ordinary sea faring horse, no no. He’s FAST. And Basically Poseidon wishes to make the punishment even worse by having him take him on his back across the seas whenever he pleases, he manages to jump on his back and Odysseus runs around wildly through waves and storms for three months straight, with Poseidon never once faltering and managing to stay on no matter how much Odysseus attempts to buck him off, once he’s tired out, Poseidon requests Hephaestus to make him a bronze bridle and reigns that wouldn’t break no matter what. Since Odysseus could dearly a normal rope or chain. This Bridle actually also keeps his eyes covered, so he doesn’t know where he is going without Poseidon leading him.

I like to call it “The Trojan Horse”

There is of course a whole lot more to the story!—

And of course Prompted Worssmith (Smitty beloved)….knows all of it and contributed a great deal in our dms

what's with the weird glorification of smoking that's come back lately

like

I've seen so many posts that paint opposing smoking as some impossibly Loser-ish or puritanical stance and I really don't get it

it makes you, your house, and your clothing stink, destroys your teeth, and gives you lung cancer. opposing it is. Correct. obviously addiction is very complicated and quitting can be hard, but just saying "smoking is gross and harmful as a practice (including vaping)" is True and Right actually

some of you have never grown up hearing about how some beloved family member died a slow, agonized, wasting death of smoking-induced cancer, or watching it firsthand for yourself, and it shows

Update: The claim that Hergie Bacyadan spoke out against Imane Khelif seems to be misinformation. I apologize for spreading it, no one is immune to propaganda etc. This does not change the fact that the trans community has an intersexism/interphobia problem that is being made incredibly obvious by this olympics discourse.

Seeing the recent bigoted comments by transgender Olympian Hergie Bacyadan, it's past time for the perisex trans community to address the normalized intersexism/interphobia that so many of us spread.

The intersex community is constantly used as a prop by the trans community. The most frequent way you see trans people speak about intersex issues is just to remind transphobes that sex isn't binary, which is meaningless when the trans community still strictly enforces intersexist binaries like AMAB vs AFAB and TME vs TMA and Transfemme vs Transmasc, all categories that many if not most intersex people, trans or cis, cannot fit neatly into. The trans community uses the intersex community to win arguments and than makes next to no effort to make our intersex siblings feel welcome.

When talking about HRT and gender affirming care for minors, the trans community almost never uplifts the voices of the intersex community who are often forced to undergo HRT as children and surgery on their genitalia as actual babies against their will. It is important for HRT and gender affirming care to be available to transgender children, it is just as important to keep these same things that can be life saving for trans children from being forced onto intersex children who do not consent.

I implore all perisex trans people to do some reading into the history of intersex activism, and the sad reality of life for intersex people today when so many governments and health systems are still bigoted against intersex people. Uplift intersex voices, always.

Reblog for emphasis.

Sometimes it’s ok to use metaphors

They don't have to outline and spell out everything for the underlining message and point of the story to still matter.

it’s so funny seeing people refer to Across The Spider-Verse talking about a “trans gwen theory” and whether or not they believe it. buddy it isn’t a theory it’s clearly in the text. she’s obviously trans if you have any kind of visual media literacy. the only “theory” you need here is film theory. good lord you guys don’t watch movies you just see them huh?

What would Peri’s power level be if he didn’t have his inhibitor/stabilizer wand and just went apeshit?

While Cosmo deals with too much magic in his body, Peri suffers from a slightly different issue. Cosmo has the greatest amount of magic in Fairy World. Peri is incapable of regulating his magic.

Peri cannot, not then as a child and not now in the present, control his magic. Without his inhibitor, he can easily destroy an entire realm- just as he nearly destroyed Earth as a baby. This fact has not changed, although it is less plausible today than back then.

Peri's taken extra measures in the present-day to ensure it cannot happen.

I have a somewhat odd question. In June, I was part of creating an online Pride Shabbat for queer Jews unable or unwilling to go to Pride in their home area due to the rise in antisemitism, and as part of it, I wrote a memorial/Kaddish meditation about queer people across time and space. It’s fair to say I couldn’t have done it without MQH, which featured heavily in my research of historical queer figures.

I want to share the piece on Tumblr because I think some folks with progressive synagogues might like it, or may simply find it personally meaningful. Here comes the question: in any other time, I’d find it absolutely abhorrent to share it without crediting you for the time, love, effort, and care you’ve put into MQH that made my job so much simpler. But times being what they are, I don’t feel it’s right to do so indiscriminately, because I’m all too aware you may face splash damage for being associated with a filthy Bad Jew who doesn’t disavow all of Judaism etc. etc.

As a result, I feel obligated to ask if you’d prefer I omit your name from the post, especially since you’re trying to make MQH financially solvent. Please let me know, so I can decide how to structure my post.

Okay this is a complicated question. I will admit I was initially quite confused by the second paragraph of this, until I checked your blog. I realized quickly that you are refering to the fact that you're a Zionist.

I feel like I have been very public about the fact that I oppose Zionism, but in case I haven't been obvious enough, I want to say it clearly:

I learned about anti-Zionism and the movement to free Palestine from almost exclusively Jewish voices. People who have been referred to as "self-hating" when I post about them. They are voices I didn't seek out for their opinions on Palestine, but who shared their opinions with a level of love and passion that I admire deeply. They have gifted me with time and education, and they are the only reason I believe what I do today. Without these Jewish voices, I do believe I could have lost myself in the deliberate obfuscation that happens around this issue.

All of this being said, yes, please do share that I was able to help share queer stories that informed what you have created. But know, that everything I have made comes from a deep love and passion for justice that includes the Palestinian people.

Was inspired to draw this by an Ed Vebell piece! That will be under the cut. I saw it and immediately thought of those two with it in some way. Was originally going to be nicer with flowers, however the horrors seemed more fitting

The mentioned Ed Vebell drawing!
