[ sobs ]+ I'm sorry I thrive off malewife tears

They giveth and they taketh away...such was the cruelty concentrated at heaven's rotten core. Sure, they'd given him a sick pad to live in- but wait, he didn't meet the tenant requirements after the fact and had kicked him out on his ass. He'd refused to let that get him down and built his own patch of paradise in the territory called 'as good as it gets'. Even made himself a flock of sorts, and for what? For them to take both his sons from him in a squabble and eventually Eve too when it was just decided that having them both in the same cup of eternity's balancing scale would be too much for it to bear. Instead they thought he should bear the weight of their decisions. So, when Sera thought it was such a hard but wise decision to pry his lieutenant away from him next-...having decided that neither of them were fulfilling the purpose in which she even gave him her services having decided that he would be better off with another fresh Exorcist that could start the training effort back up again for his unruly soul-...fuck that. He went a little feral over it.

He'd lost it in the sense that heaven's embassy now had a steaming hole in the far wall- vaporized by a burst of energy akin to the desperation a cornered animal might lunge into when a step too far was taken. Thankfully nobody was hit, but unleashing holy lasers on a holy building like that earned him the wing cones of shame which clamped at the base of where the appendages met shoulder blade and kept him booted from the air for a time like a vehicle with an outstanding warranty for missed property taxes.

In the poor lighting of his apartment- also a wreck because if he wasn't able to fuck up heaven's embassy with lasers, then he was going to knock every little thing that came into his line of vision onto the floor, stamp and kick at it for good measure, he seethed to her while pacing wildly. "Can you BELIEVE this? Thinking she can separate us- if brains were tits she'd be the flattest fucking bitch, I swear-" Another hour or so of vicious lashing out at anything and everything finally came to a close with him backing her into a corner and just-...slumping down to sit with her, wings rising just enough to cover the fact she was there- a part of an awakened dragon's hoard.

The tears were an angry sort, wrenched from the corners of his eyes as his teeth grit and ground and his fury flared between vicious and exhausted. The wing clips were heavy and he'd been very animated even with them on. Exhaustion was creeping up on him and he hated it because what if they decided his tantrum wasn't enough and they came in the middle of the night to collect her? No way. No fucking way. Sleep was a myth now and never happening again. "They can't take you from me- I'll peck their fucking eyes out, man. The awful FUCKS-" And it was with that final fuck that his voice cracked just enough to convince more golden tears to well and trail down a clenched jaw which he shoved down and into the crook between her shoulder and her chest, grinding away to blubber and hyperventilate to the tune of an assortment of biting slurs.

If he could have anything...fucking anything at all- let it be her.

AKI HINA

He has the powers of: Papa Ghede, Brave Ghede, Ghede Nibo, and Baron Kriminel

ANGELICA LUCILLE

Angelica Is a fun loving and promiscuous girl. Her origins are mysterious, born an orphan, her very first memory was being lost and alone in a forest being chased by wolves and blacking out.

She's social and flirty but is able to provide levity wherever she can

The man,

The myth,

The malewife,

MYRTLE DAD!!

things we learn from the odyssey:

telemachus is hot (he has inherited odysseus’ eye and face/head shape and also his hands)

telemachus is shy and bad at socializing, cannot start/hold conversations

telemachus has two dogs

telemachus loves his mum, thinks she’s beautiful and takes care of her loads

and his dad! he wants to know everything he can about him

telemachus “why can’t you be more like your cousin” ithacides. telemachus and said cousin have never met.

menelaus regrets having started the war

hermes does not like working (who’s surprised)

odysseus is survivor of sexual assault

nausicaa looks like artemis

odysseus is the second best archer in the achaean army (after philoctetes, hercules’ bestie, aka the guy that killed paris)

circe sings while she works!

odysseus and his crew join/leave circe in autumn

agamemnon and achilles are continuing their feud in the afterlife through their alive sons

athena likes to show herself as a man to mortals. like. she does that a lot.

telemachus has trouble sleeping

menelaus displays symptoms of himbo malewife

telemachus has autism. i don’t make the rules.

the odyssey supports homeless people. fuck you america.

telemachus sneezed and penelope interprets this as an omen of death.

odysseus has, like, a dozen “that’s my girl” moments regarding penelope and it’s the cutest thing ever

odysseus was named by his grandad, and his name means “the annoyer”

there was wedding music playing during odysseus and penelope’s reunion <3

it took a month to get odysseus to leave for troy

[cheerstotheelites-if]

From the ask list you reblogged 6 for the cast and 10 for Fleur,Weylyn and Cooper 👀

From this ask list

6. If your character was from a novel of a literary canon (doesn't have to be western canon), who would they be?

Weylyn: Jonathan Harker from Bram Stoker's Dracula. He has that vibe, and if you've read Dracula—yeah, you get it. A gentleman, and a little pathetic (affectionate), but still willing to help out.

Fleur: Icarus from The myth of Icarus. It just fits a stubborn, prideful young woman who wants to achieve it all and reach higher than she should, no?

Zephyrine: Juliet from Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Zeph is the type of woman who will risk it all and act on impulse and feelings, only to end up in an even worse situation she can't back out from.

Eliseo: Jason from the Euripides' tragic play Medea. Man, ego and mansplaining manipulating malewife-ing with a bad end from karma for being an absolute ass.

Cooper: Robin Hood from the Robin Hood Ballads. Robin Hood's a goofy and rebellious character in his first renditions, and it screams Cooper's chaotic good vibes, especially with the "steal from the rich, give to the poor" rendition in the next centuries.

Ophelia: Mordred from the Arthurian Legends. Ya'll already know who Mordred is and what he does in the Arthurian mythos.

~•~•~

10. What piece of moody poetry or novel quote best encompasses your character?

Fleur:

"She was always planning out her own development, desiring her own perfection."

- Henry James, "Portrait of a Lady"

Weylyn:

"Why not? Why not try to love? Why try not to live?"

- Clarice Lispector, "Near to the Wild Heart"

Cooper:

"And all thoughts disappear in a strange quiet excitement."

- Frank O'Hara, 'Poem', The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

Ok hear me out, Ganji and Mike accidentally crash into each other during a match or something and they drop their Red balls. They scramble to pick what they assume are their own items but we cut to Mike trying to flip over a rail and the ball bounces back and hits him square in the face, he's out like a light. Now zooming over to ganji he's taking aim then BOOM! his bats on fire, Ganji is now chasing the hunter with a flaming glorified stick,ganji is now banned from Duos

Holy shit yes oh my god 😭😭😭😭. Clusmy anime girls with toast in their mouth except, threats to the hunter that dropped their balls.

Raoul de Chagny (Mazm one maybe idk) is such a sigma male but also an L bozo. Mans literally cannot get manipulated by erik bc hes too stupid but at the same time he goes into eriks box to assert dominance only to pass out like an idiot. And the scene in the forest where he HAD A CELAR SHOT AT ERIK AND MISSED. L bozo.

Having finished Hyde and Seek like 3 days after release here are some of my thoughts. There's gonna be some stuff implied so read with caution, i wont say outright but ill talk abt the implications. Sorry most of this is Alan rambling I have brainworms and I'm ill.

-Alan is literally my malewife. Love at first sight, if Noah is my little meanwhore Alan is my malewife. I love their big boobs.

-Pollie>Sally. My heart dropped when Alan tried to ask Sally out like out of all people, Sally? Good news though hes single by the end.

-Pollie is literally that one tumblr post where its like let women be pathetic little meow meows too. She is the definition of a pathetic meow meow and i love her for that.

My #1 post of 2022

Alright so ive been seeing this going around, the lack of paint on Sam in ENG . I dont want to start shit though, im saying this as a disclaimer. And i want to say this as controversial as it may be: it was for the best probably.

Voodoo has a history of being portrayed as dark magic which is horrible. Voodoo is a religion not satanic not dark magic. It is as much of a religon as Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, etc. Respect it. I like the bone paint too, it looked cool, but clearly its more cultural appropriation rather than appreciation on Sam (voodoo practicers if you can please tell me if ive said something wrong).

"Cancel culture" isnt just an "sjw" thing, its used to talk about problems. Saying "twst shouldve just stayed in jp" bc of the problematic aspect isnt good. We have to address problematic issues with culture and racism. Twst has racist aspects you cannot deny that. It doesnt mean you cant enjoy twst at all, but stay openminded and listen to minorities when they speak. Cultures arent "aesthetics" :/

[official-saul-goodman]

The kidnapping and rape of Persephone is a myth about the treatment of women as objects and how mothers have to deal with their daughters being ripped from their grips by the cruel nature of men. A woman being kept as NOTHING more than a pet by a man she cannot fight against. You cannot take the misogyny out of the tale when it is crucial. It's about mothers and daughters being forcefully ripped apart by men and other patriarchal powers at the time, against their will. How women are forced to marry their rapists. This is transcendental through time and culture. Stop trying to change this and trying to make it more palatable to you so you can turn it into a romance. This is not a malewife girlboss coupling. For the love of fucking god stop turning it gay so that it's easier to digest for you.

#The Man, The Myth, The Malewife

[an-idiot-in-fandoms]

an essay about my type of man: a half assed self-study

i have noticed a trend in my taste of men, and in this self proclaimed ted talk i’m going to try and dissect it properly.

starting off, we’ve got Han Solo, who was basically my movie crush. what is he like? charismatic, pretty, witty, impatient, realistic, short tempered, self confident (to a certain extent) and funny. now at first i just assumed that i just liked people who could start a conversation with me so i didn’t have to do the hard work.

but turns out; it’s deeper than that.

secondly, we’ve got the man, the myth, the malewife, the murderer: Anakin Skywalker. what is this (disastrous) man like? i’ll tell you what, nearly the exact same as Han, except he’s indefinitely more emotionally unstable, can’t really ‘socialise’, and has a shit ton of mummy issues.

then, we’ve got Jason Todd, my favourite sack of muscles and trauma. again we can apply all of the adjectives above (he can be charismatic when he puts his mind to it, trust me). it’s clear that this is a pattern here.

let’s add on Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice to this list and whamo, i think we have some type of coincidental thing here. except Darcy can’t socialise for shit.

but what type of pattern? i’ll tell you what, it is the pattern of the Byronic hero.

in the words of dictionary.com:

‘A Byronic hero is a type of fictional character who is a moody, brooding rebel, often one haunted by a dark secret from his past. The term describes the type of main character found in many fictional works by Lord Byron, who is said to have had this type of personality.’

and here’s more damning evidence:

‘Often the Byronic hero is moody by nature or passionate about a particular issue. He also has emotional and intellectual capacities, which are superior to the average man. These heightened abilities force the Byronic hero to be arrogant, confident, abnormally sensitive, and extremely conscious of himself.’

are we seeing this? are we understanding it? of course we are, i know my audience isn’t stupid.

we can apply lots of popular male characters in media to this trait: Loki, Kylo Ren, Jack Sparrow, Battison, (possibly Edward Cullen if you stretch it...), Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights (if we must), Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre (again, if we must) and Snape (we’re going off of criteria here).

point being, there’s often trends in the most unlikely places, and they usually have a name. i didn’t really consider this until a couple of days ago, so you learn something new everyday, and occasionally, something new about yourself.

in my case, i learned that i’m attracted to emotionally damaged man-whores. but what can you do?
