its been stuck in my head so:

day 54- Bleed Magic {I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME}

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!

Say hello to my Oc Asher! (Asher Finnegan Carson)

This is my little goober Asher, he is a recurring character that usually helps cartman in his plans

people get both their last names wrong with him getting called “cartman” a few times

he doesn’t like the the main four and I quote “I would rather jump off a cliff than have to date one of those assholes but if I was held at gunpoint to date one it would be Kyle”

he’s cool with the other 3 but annoys the living hell out of them (he killed Kenny like 24 times in the past BUT ON ACCIDENT) (only some of them)

He’s one of those kids that wears shorts and a shirt even in the winter and says “guys it’s not even that cold!”

Asher’s family owns a bakery and whenever they have shit that didn’t sell he just gives it to Kenny instead of throwing it away because he doesn’t like wasting food

him and Tweek know each other at least because their families work together since Tweek’s family owns a coffee shop

his best friend is this kid named August and they become friends whenever Asher found him eating mud in the corner of the playground when they were 6

Asher is a loud yapper who is louder than rock music at full volume and yaps like there’s no tomorrow and August is also a loud yapper, this is probably because both of them are diagnosed ADHD gremlins that professionally yap.

Asher also has a ginger Maine Coon cat named Ethan

every night I think “wow this might be the night I go to bed early” and every time without fail I fuck it up

this is very jon core:

day 74- The Lonely Life of the UFO Researcher (Tullycraft)

more Rich Old Man Squad ideas ✨

ok so somehow I completely missed it until now but on my original post one of my ideas was that at some point simon was allowed to play music and it was absolute chaos, and someone asked what he played

he played I wanna dance with somebody by whitney houston

i'm AWARE this is a stupid hill to die on, but like. trope vs theme vs cliché vs motif vs archetype MATTERS. it matters to Me and i will die on this hill no matter how much others decide it's pointless. words mean things

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
