i am so happy to live in a world where there are jugheads (plural)
never forgetting how hard middle school me cried during this scene
Y'all, I am so incredibly interested in hero worship, but I don't know where to start. š I really want to worship Achilles and Patroclus! Does anyone know of any good resources where I could learn more about this??? Thank you in advance! ā¤ļø
My man Octavian is frequent customer in Build-a-Bear. He got that mfing returning customer discount
I bet the employees know him really well. I bet heās friends with all of them
I bet they think Octavian is tad a bit weird cuz he keeps talking about how āhe canāt wait to cut the teddies openā
But they donāt mind cuz heās a nice nerdy fellow who likes talking about Roman History and Mythology.

has this been done
āThis statement has long been understood as reflecting a basic distinction in Greek religious practice between the different kinds of worship offered, on the one hand to the Olympian gods, and on the other to heroes, the dead and certain other āchthonicā (i.e. associated with the Underworld) powers. A god has a temple (naos), a cult statue and a raised altar (bomos), at which an animal is sacrificed with its head pulled back so that the throat is pointing heavenwards when cut; a hero usually has a shrine (heroon) at the site of his grave, with a low hearth (eschara) or pit (bothros), where the sacrificial victim's blood can flow directly down into the ground. To sacrifice to the Olympians is to āfumigateā (thuein), because the gods were thought to enjoy the smell of the fatty smoke rising and, after the kill, meat from the sacrificial victim is shared in a communal feast; when sacrificing to chthonians, one had to ādevoteā (enagizein) the victim, usually by burning it whole (a āholocaustā).
Recent scholarship, however, has tended to revise this traditional sharp opposition, preferring to think of individual cults as on a āsliding scaleā between the two extremes; significantly, it āhas been shown that many heroes received the kind of sacrifice which was followed by feasting, and that there is no clear distinction between types of altar before the Roman period.
At the same time, studies of Herakles have questioned the extent to which Herodotusā idea of a dual cult was ever put into practice, pointing to the fact that the majority of the evidence seems rather to emphasize his divine nature. Nonetheless, there remain some notable features in Heraklesā cult which cannot easily be explained unless we understand them as reflecting something of the ambiguous status he has in myth."

IMO Jughead is the most compelling character in this show and the more I watch the more tragic his character and arc are.
Where Iām at in season five it just really seems like heās turning into his dad (alien conspiracy theories notwithstanding) and itās horribly tragic mostly bc it seems very realistic for kids who grow like he did. Setting all the weird Riverdale shit aside, being abandoned by your mom and forced into homelessness by you drunkard of a father and witnessing a man get beaten to death whilst living under a bridge and being bullied at school and overwhelming not really wanted by anyone in your life are the kinds of things that leave a lasting mark. And on top of that people are a product of the environment they grow up in. Some people get out of it and take new paths and others get sucked back in no matter how hard they try to escape. And tbh Jughead probably wouldāve had more luck escaping if heād had a proper support system.
I like Bughead a lot but they were pretty toxic for each other after a while. They both brought so much baggage into the relationship on top of which Jughead doesnāt know how to set better boundaries bc heās never really seen a healthy relationship and Betty had way too much going on to acknowledge the fact that she and Jughead were making each other worse not better at a certain point.
The graduation episode I believe it is when Betty admits that she kissed Archie during hedwig is one of the saddest moments bc when she says āI need to tell you somethingā he knows exactly what she did and heās not even surprised. But he doesnāt let go. He just holds on tighter. Which again I understand bc sheās the only person whoās ever really cared about him, but this is at least the second time sheās kissed Archie while still dating Jughead and at a certain point you have to say this isnāt working anymore.
Side note but I also felt so so bad for Veronica when Archie tells her about the kiss. I donāt have particularly strong feelings for varchie one way or the other but she deserved so much better than that.
I feel like this is just an incoherent mess but im gonna post it anyways and see if any of yāall can make sense of it
non sexual nudity is fantastic and should not be treated like evil incarnate because itās a basic part of human existence but donāt forget that sexual nudity is also rad as hell
i forgot about jugheadās dead poets society secret history arc in season 4 what on earth
the lack of fluffy octavian stuff is kinda sad
