I still find it damn annoying! Mythology doesn't belong to anyone. There are stories based on metaphors and phobias coming together to make sense to things people wanted to explain back then! If we can't use golems, then this means we aren't able to use greek monsters, like Cerberus, or Thor, or even the words Angel and the Devil......
Mythology was made to be shared and people do make stories to share with the world. The book of Enoch and Genesis became works that inspire many! This is not cultural appropriation is appreciation! Artists use these mythological creatures because they don't need to explain whole new beings, because they are already well known.
Again, if we can't use these, then why are they publicly known and open. If this information shouldn't be made public and not be used by others then it should have been a Mystery School!!
And I hope no one gets offended by calling religious stories mythology, because it is the right term. Mythology doesn't mean that it isn't correct. Just look up the defenition!!! It means a collection of allegory stories, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition.
Thank you for reading my angry ramble!
Hope you guys have a good day
One thing I'd suggest is not calling him a golem specifically unless you're Jewish. Golems are apparently pretty dang specific to Judaism, and most of the answers I've gotten on "is it okay to use them in stories if you aren't Jewish" tend to vary from "Get a Jewish sensitivity reader first" to "No".
Then again, I'm not Jewish myself, so take that with a grain of salt, but I've seen a lot of posts from Jewish users complaining about people always calling every rock creature and fantasy robots a "golem" for several years now. I personally choose to err on the side of caution, though.
That said, Cementoss could still probably be a stone puppet or animate statue granted life.
Fuckening
Cultural appropriation is already bad now its just annoying when it's like "oh we've appropriated too close to the sun and now all mention of this word evokes the appropriation instead of the original".
I am saying this with frustration toward the people who yoinked the word, not those pointing it out.
Anyway yeah gonna need a new word but the creature description fits but also tbh Cementoss isn't gonna appear that much
My Emotes are done!!!
AHHHHH! THEY TURNED OUT SO GOOD! I'M SO HAPPY! ( ^ω^ )
AUTHORS I NEED A FAVOUR!!!!
I'm not sure why or when this idea popped into my brain. But I NEED a Loki Oneshot (or Fic) with a Reader/OC Spouse, where they have a similar relationship to Odysseus and Penelope.
Like the Spouse finds Loki after NewYork and then the scene would play out like in the Song "Would you fall in love with me again"
OR they met again in Thor 2
OR Lokis Spouse is in the TVA and they meet again there!!!!
I crave Angst like this with a happy ending!!!!!
(Funny Ending: Switch to see Thor crying happy tears seeing them reunite)
I finally painted the cover (and backside) of my Sketchbook!
Here it is! It's my Bnha Oc in the Fantasy AU
This is amazing!
Ares: Need a hand?
Telemachus: What’s going on here?
Ares: Is your plan to stand around? Or are you gonna tear them down?
Telemachus: I don’t know how
Ares: Then stop thinking. Feel the fire. Swing.
Telemachus: Woah, why am I burning up? Why do I feel so strong?
Ares: That’s the bloodlust kicking in.
Telemachus: This is insane!
Ares: No. This is war. Now go.
Ares: I've no respect for cowards, Those who prey upon the weak. I've bathed in war for centuries, And I know how the ruthless think. So paint this floor in crimson, Show them what you are One young wolf with sharpened fangs Against a herd of starving dogs!
how im feelin right now lads
I will fall in love with you
Over and over again
I don’t care how, where, or when
No matter how long it’s been
You’re mine
Don’t tell me you’re not the same person
You’re always my husband
And I’ve been waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, oh!
For you...
This is literally Y/N and Loki from Time after Time. This is their theme song, playing in the background in the last chapter. It's them.
I couldn't have said it better 👏
i just love this scene. the way geta is taken aback by the poetry. he's guarded, wary, trying to unpack the underlying threat - a wild animal faced with a machine for the first time. he knows there's something dangerous here, but he can't determine the extent of it.
caracalla, as he is one to do, breaks the tension. he doesn't sense the threat, not like geta does. caracalla is happy with the turn of events, so geta backs down accordingly - but not without a little threat of his own, just so lucius knows that geta isn't oblivious to the harm.
it's the same way acacius threatens geta w/ the consequences of more war. geta's gaze shifts to the side. he knows acacius is right. but caracalla chimes in, giddy about bloodshed, and so geta doesn't pursue the potential threat. he allows it to slide.
geta is the sharper twin. he can smell blood in the water. but he doesn't follow up on his suspicions, especially not when caracalla delights in the source of the threat.
caracalla was always geta's greatest liability and weakness. love killed him in the end.
