“Similarly Problematic Is Baseline Resetting. With Chronic Sleep Restriction Over Months Or Years,

She was the goddess of women and marriage and I'm pretty sure the so called intelligent greeks at that time wanted to portray her as an evil figure, just so they could also point out that women were selfish and stuff. Like I'm just saying that the majority of the man kind had been the leaders of domestic lives and this whole goddess of marriage and women being an evil bitch was a good excuse for men to use in some situations-I guess? I mean obviously there were males who weren't like that but everyone knows that ancient times were already fucked up.

I wanted to write down my view of Zeus and Hera's marriage

Ok so I HATE that in modern movies or books hera is literally nothing but a bitch.

Like yeah she's cruel because her husband turned he that way , he cheats on her every chance he gets even though he says how much he loves her... like his version of love is so twisted it's weird that he doesn't straight up leave hera if he is so unhappy.

Then again, from othe fan stories I read people write zeus as a man that simply wants his wife's love and attention

And the only way to get that is to make her jealous! Her insane jealously proves to Zeus that hera still loves him very dearly.

But then again he still cheats after they stop fighting , eyes tend to wonder.

I feel like zeus is aware of what a terrible person he is but he is the mindset that because he is King and supreme ruler of the heavens that he can do whatever he wants and he expected hera to be an obedient little wife.

Which she isn't at all , she didn't even want to marry him the first place.

She was trapped into it and eventually ended up falling for him.

She is an equally powerful and outspoken women that turned sour from her husband and his bastard children.

Hera isn't a saint , a lot of us wish she didn't take her fury out on the children or the women that weren't willing but her anger always gets the better of her.

Besides there was MANY women that were willing to be with zeus and join him in his bed.

Nymphs , minor goddesses and mortals alike who were willing I say deserve the queens anger.

Those that knew zeus was married but spread their legs anyway I can't really have much sympathy for.

The ones that were forced to do such things weren't as deserving.

Anyways this rant is going on.

The king and queen of the gods marriage is a mystery on it's own.

And UGH I swear I hate that hera can't leave Zeus and be free because she's a goddess of marriage.

That just annoys me so much.

Can someone like..write a damn good story of hera being happy? I would love that.

Weird and Wonderful Irregular Galaxies

Spiral and elliptical galaxies seem neatly put together, but what happened to irregular galaxies? Irregular galaxies have one-of-a-kind shapes and many look like blobs! Why do they look the way they do? Astronomers think the uniqueness of these galaxies results from their interactions with other galaxies — like when they pass close to one another or even collide!

Looking back at the early universe with the help of our Hubble Space Telescope’s “deep field” observations, astronomers can peek at galaxies millions and billions of light-years away. They noticed that these far-away galaxies appear unusually messy, showing more star formation and mergers than galaxies closer to the Milky Way.

We also see irregular galaxies closer to home, though. Some may form when two galaxies pass close together in a near-miss. When this happens, their gravity pulls stars out of place in both galaxies, messing up the neat structure they originally had as spiral or elliptical galaxies. Think of it like this: you happen to have a pile of papers sitting at the edge of a table and when someone passes close by the papers become ruffled and may scatter everywhere! Even though the two galaxies never touched, gravity's effects leave them looking smeared or distorted.

Some irregular galaxies result from the collision between two galaxies. And while some of these look like a blob of stars and dust, others form dazzling ring galaxies! Scientists think these may be a product of collisions between small and large galaxies. These collisions cause ripples that disturb both galaxies, throwing dust, gas, and stars outward. When this happens, it pushes out a ring of material, causing gas clouds to collide and spark the birth of new stars. After just a few million years, stars larger than our Sun explode as supernovae, leaving neutron stars and black holes throughout the ring!

Not all galaxy collisions create irregular galaxies — our Milky Way spiral galaxy has gone through many mergers but has stayed intact! And for some interacting galaxies, being an irregular galaxy may just be a phase in their transformation. We’re observing them at a snapshot in time where things are messy, but they may eventually become neat and structured spirals and ellipticals.

Irregular galaxies are similar to each other, but unique and beautiful because of their different interactions, whether they’re just passing another galaxy or taking part in a dramatic collision. Keep up with NASA Universe on Facebook and Twitter where we post regularly about galaxies.

OK,I think this is a topic we all need to talk about. The way many writers and artists in various fandoms will constantly whitewash characters in them and when they are confronted, will just be like.. it's hard to research all this.

Its really not.

Many POC writers who do not belong to a predominantly white country have had to google and research stuff so that we dont get called out on our lack of knowledge on something we haven't even been exposed to.

Where I'm from, we don't have prom or school dances. Our grading system and education system works differently but I still made a point to just spend 15 minutes googling these details so I didnt make mistakes in my writing.

The sad thing is, we don't get that same respect back. When we finally have shows or characters that represent us, they are promptly whitewashed.

End of story: It's really hurtful and saddening so if you could please not do this.

Nothing is quite as beautiful as someone who has survived losing everything and still has a tender heart.

Who steps out of the shower half dressed and who exhales 'wow, I'm gay' to themselves ? For as many ships as you like!

🦝: blurb/ headcanons/ drabbles

Uh I'm not going to say *I'm gay* because I really want to do Jeyna. So is *I'm whipped* a good substitute?

So in the case of Jeyna:

Contrary to popular belief, whenever Jason steps out of the shower half dressed, humming some stupid show tune, Rey plays it super cool like it doesnt affect her at all. But inside her mind is just Wow Jason. HOLYSHITHOLYFUCK and shes mentally screaming because he doesn't know what an effect she has on him and like Jason totally knows but he acts like he doesnt notice and will basically tease her the whole time.

Thaluke (let's pretend these babies are alive/not immortal):

Its totally Luke. Luke is the definition of a simp. He will look at Thalia and his heart will just skip a few beats because he's like this beauty woman chose me of all the people she could be with. "Damn I'm so lucky" is a thought constantly in his head because he loves her so much, from her punk badges to the little freckles on her back.

Solangelo:

So it would be Will. Nico would come out of the shower and Will would be teasing him about using up all the hot water or something and then Nico will be like "for the last time, William" and turn to face him and Will's brain kinda short circuits because wow this guy is so beautiful and like he looks so good and holy fuck, hes so gay and he wants to marry Nico di angelo and his ghostly weebiness.

Tratie (this is canon, fight me):

I hc that they both dont start dating outright but more as like, friends with benefits or something. Then one day, Katie steps out the bathroom in a towel and she's yelling at Travis for finishing her shampoo and she's not completely got the soap off her body and her hair is all stuck to her head but at that moment, Travis is like wow. I love her. And then he just pauses and goes. Fuck. I'm whipped for Katie Gardiner.

Malcolm and Rachel (thank you @1ooo-w0rds for getting me to ship something that has 0 scope in this fandom)

Its Rachel. For sure. They're just roommates. He needs a place to stay close to his college and she doesnt really want to stay away from the world of demigods during the whole year she spends at her Art College. She walks into his room trying to ask him something and he's standing there in his towel and all Rachel completely loses her voice and she just mutters wow under her breath and she knows it's weird but she cant take her eyes off him and her mind is just doing a continuous chant of ohmygodohmygodohmygod I'm going to die.

Ahh I dont really ship anything else that much so I dont think I can just do headcanons randomly until you specifically request ygm

****

This sucks sorrryyy.

Feedback and reblogs are always appreciated.

I wish I could climb that one and scream to the world like- AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
