Bring Back Tumblr Ask Culture Let Me. Bother You With Questions And Statements

Truly I am becoming so sick of people treating my religion like a fun quirky irl Percy Jackson. (I've ALWAYS been sick of it but oh my gods)

This is a REAL AND ANCIENT RELIGION. These are GODS. Not your silly best friends that are just constantly chilling around you. The lack of respect towards their divinity and weird mortalization of them I've seen in some spaces (not as much on Tumblr but tiktok and SEVERAL discord servers I'm in) is so uncomfortable and angering.

The prevalence of "deity identification spreads" as if they're trying to figure out their godly parent in PJO, the constant "what god is reaching out to me?" questions I see from beginners who barely even KNOW hellenic polytheism, and the constant treatment of the Theoi as fun friends that just sit around on altars at someone's every beck and call. It's so upsetting? It's so uncomfortable?

Yes, the gods love us. Of course, they care for us. But where is the respect? Where is your kharis? How can they love you when they don't even know you? And how can you claim to love Them when you hardly know Them?

You MUST research in this religion. There are no cutting corners. You must must MUST learn. Because without understanding how sacred the practices are and their significance of them to their time and who these gods truly were, you run DANGEROUSLY close to religious and cultural appropriation.

Hello a dearest critter!! Do not feel pressured to do this!!

But may I ask of a Dhole moodboard thats very nature and ‘whimsy’ based? Like pretty green forests, magical elements, and basically anything thats considered whimsy? (I adore all aesthetics of whimsy, but perhaps make it warm based to match my kins fur?)

Thanks so much again :3, very thankful to be moots !!! - Whisp

Hihi !!! I pushed myself a bit with this one!! I think I'm gonna start adding names to moodboards :3

Anyways, here you go!! Hope you enjoy moot!

i know the traditional interpretation of the Yorick skull scene is the classic one handed held out dramatically pose, but consider- Hamlet gently cradles the skull of an old friend with both hands, holding it with respect for the life that was once within it, as he considers the nature of death and his own mortality.

One scene later, as Hamlet dies in Horatio’s arms, he loses the energy needed to move himself and Horatio tenderly cradles his head in the same way so he can continue looking into his old friend’s eyes as he goes. If there was time left, Hamlet might consider how as he loses feeling in his flesh, all that’s left is the hardness of his own bones, and in time that’s all that will remain. It’s the same sort of contemplation, but now he’s on the other side of death.

A bit of a health rant / vent.

I keep having heart palpitations. They aren’t strong, its more like a fluttering. But tonight they are worse. Ive been awake since 2:10 AM (3:26 rn) They DO go away and have gone away for weeks before. I just hate when they come back.

I think it’s just my way of life that causes these. Im dehydrated and not active, but hopefully that’ll change by the afternoon. I also think stress and strong emotions are contributing to it— I hate having to pay attention and to find triggers for it.

I’m tired- exhausted. I have school in less than three hours and I can’t lay down. I can’t handle my bed currently (Overstim, associated with health issues and oddly making me itchy). So I don’t know if I should just sleep on the floor or just stay up. The proper day hasn’t even started yet and I don’t want it to. I’ll overcome this, I know I will.
