the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck
Eyyyyy! Am back
Y'all get to see this silly meme I made bsed off of @aquilaofarkham 's post on bluesky.

They did the thing-
i will be fucking INSUFFERABLE.
you’ve all been warned…
the countdown begins…
I'm sorry about the person I will become when black butler season 4 is out. The time to regress back into my middle school era is coming. The cycle is real.
even though i’m writing this as a try to ward off an anxiety attack and existential crisis, i just wanted to speak a few things into the void today.
this message is as much for me as it is for you, or anyone who needs to see this today.
without further ado,
i want to learn to let go. i want to master it to the point where it is as easy as breathing.
i know i’m not quite there yet, and how im feeling today is a testament to that. i’m so tired of feeling so exhausted from doing nothing.
i feel like i’m living my life half awake sometimes. i don’t want to be passive and numb to all the beauty in this world.
i want to learn to let go. i want to perfect it to the point where i don’t even recognise myself doing it.
my time on this earth is too precious, to hold on to the pain that comes with being alive.
my peace of mind is precious. i am precious.
i am loved, i am not difficult to love.
the more i let go, the lighter i’ll feel. the more awake i’ll become. the more i let go, the more i’ll feel.
the fact that this was my nickname for the entirety of my primary school years makes this 1,000 times better >:]
"I should kill myself": self-serving, reactionary
"we should all kill ourselves": building community and connection, ideologically correct
a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:
-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings
-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)
-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)
-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)
-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same
-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well
-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped
-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt
-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians
-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be
-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia
-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that
-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told
-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions
-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect
-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think
greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!
