Oc X Canon Ships Are So Cute I Dont Care I Love Seeing People Ship Their Ocs With Their Favourite Character

Thank you for this. I hate how people can't recognise the lack of consent within their relationship. It's coercion, kidnapping, and assault, plus they were both married.

[warning for rape and abuse]

I’ve been seeing quite a lot of pro-Paris posts on Tumblr of late, and can we just talk about this?

In the Iliad (and what survives of the cyclic poems), Paris is *not* a nice individual. He is cowardly, abusive, and refuses to take full responsibility for his actions.

First, his relationship with Helen is not romantic. They are not star-crossed lovers with all the world against them. He kidnaps her from her husband (who she actually chose from all the Greek princes) via what is essentially divinely powered date-rape. And when Aphrodite’s influence wears off, she hates herself for it, she hates Paris, and she hates Aphrodite. Or are we forgetting the end of Book 3 (‘κεῖσε δ᾽ ἐγὼν οὐκ εἶμι’, ‘I shall not go to that place [Paris’s bed]’)? Once again, Aphrodite has to force her into sleeping with him. Such a happy and well-founded relationship, no? Never mind that the only reason Helen is actually there is because she was used to bribe Paris in his position as judge of Miss Olympia 1200BC. It’s very telling that Helen thinks more highly of Hector than of Paris.

Let’s also look at how he acquired Helen: by taking advantage of his position as an honoured guest in the royal house of Sparta to steal their treasure and kidnap Helen. And as far as violations of xenia go, that pretty much trumps almost everything in the Odyssey apart from maybe the suitors. And then, when the entirety of Greece turns up clad in bronze and looking very angry on his father’s doorstep, rather than doing the sensible thing he acts like a spoiled child and forces the war to happen. Even ten years into this very bloody war, he’s only willing to give back the treasure and not Helen. He makes Agamemnon’s treatment of Achilles and Briseis look almost reasonable!

Shall we talk about Paris’s military prowess next? Despite being the cause of the war, he is conspicuous in his absence from the battle lines. He has no aristeia, and his battle tally comes to three minor Greeks, Nestor’s horse, and wounding Diomedes and Machon. Even Aeneas is more competent. Not only that, but with one exception, all of his hits are either from afar with the bow or while his enemy is fleeing. Even the one proper fight is won while Hector is storming along beside him. So very heroic. And when the battle resumes after his failed duel with Menelaus, where is Paris? Oh, he’s having sex with an unwilling Helen, rather than fighting in the war he caused.

If you want a nice Paris, go watch Troy or read some tragedy. Just don’t insist that the Iliadic Paris (coward, violator of guest-right, probable rapist) is a positive individual.

Help my family rebuild their lives🙏😭

‼️WE NEED YOU‼️

Hello, I'm Wasim, from Gaza. I'm 20 years old. My family consists of 6 members: my mother, father, 1 sister, and 2 brothers. We were displaced from Rafah to Al-Mawasi in Khan Yunis, under severe bombardment and destruction, without anything, in a small tent that can not accommodate 5 people without the necessities of life.😞💔😭

As was supposed, I was studying at a university in the month of October in which the war broke out, but my university was destroyed, and the universities in the entire sector were destroyed.

Help us and donate to us. Make a difference in our lives. We need you. We are without work and without home😭😞🙏

I am Kawthar Zeyad Ramadan from Gaza, I am 29 years old

I live every day war, destruction and fear, a feeling that can only be described by those who live it.

War is not easy, as I lost part of my family, my home and my work.

I graduated from university with a high grade and worked as a fashion designer and opened my own project because it was my hobby from the beginning.

I developed and succeeded in my field, but the war came and I lost everything in a moment.

My work was my source of livelihood for my family, so because of it there was no longer any source of income.

Also, my mother has been suffering from kidney failure for years and needs dialysis 3 times a week.

Because of the war, she suffered from going to the hospital in danger and long distances.

Also, the lack of adequate care caused her severe fatigue and hospitals became an unhealthy place because of the large numbers who needed treatment.

I had many ambitions and dreams that I wanted to achieve and succeed and become a famous fashion designer.

All we wanted was to survive the war. We were forced to be displaced more than 10 times at least.

We suffer a lot from the tent as we lived the summer with its extreme heat as it is made of poor quality nylon

And from insects and diseases

And now winter has come and we are drowning in the tents and the extreme cold

We fear death every day, we love life

To those who are begging for Miles Morales to join the MCU, just read a comic about him, play the games, just fucking watch any of the spider verse films. Don't let disney ruin him like they did to peter.

If they set up a poll for her death, I'll be like the person who flooded the votes. If she has 0 haters, I'm dead.

I never understood why people voted to kill Jason Todd in that phone poll until Tom King created Lizzie Prince

#Urgent | UNRWA Commissioner-General:

No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks, the longest period since the war began.

- Gaza's patients are without medicine, parents cannot provide food for their children, and hunger is increasing.

The threat of disease outbreaks in the Gaza Strip looms.

Last week, 8 UNRWA employees were killed in the Gaza Strip.

More than 140,000 people in Gaza have been forced to flee due to Israeli evacuation orders.

The blockade must be lifted and Gaza's crossings reopened for the flow of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies.

🍉 The ceasefire was stopped 🍉

⚠️ don’t ignore my text ⚠️

I am Mahmoud from North Gaza, studying computer engineering. I was working in a programming company during my studies. I got married a day before the war started and I was living in my house with my wife, but because of the war, things changed and I lost my house, my job and my father. 💔

It is very unfortunate and now my family has no breadwinner, so I desperately need your help. My wife is pregnant and we are suffering from famine. My child is my only hope in this world. I am asking you for a small donation so that I can provide food for my pregnant wife, please

✅️UPDATE 17/01/2025✅️

After the ceasefire in Gaza, hope has returned to us once again, giving us the strength to rebuild our lives.

now my wife is five months pregnant. She requires full care, including medications, vitamins, and medical attention.🤰👼

I beg you to help me and save my first child.🫀

My hope is for my child to come into better circumstances than these.

It is incredibly difficult for a child to be born in a tent, in the worst conditions, surrounded by insects and germs.

Please, help me build a new hope for this small family 👨‍👩‍👦
