What's your favorite flower, and why?
Oh this is kind of a difficult question. If I’m going purely based on looks then I’d say the black Dahlia, because I think it’s really pretty, but if we are bringing floriography into it then I’d say carnations because they mean fascination, distinction, and love and they look pretty!
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
Hello I just realized that I never really introduced myself! So hello, My name is Tyler and I go by He/they pronouns. I am transgender and gay and I am also a minor. Some things I like are Greek Mythology, General history, floriography, FNaF, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, DnD, and Marvel/DC. Some of my skills include sewing (sometimes), writing, baking, making soap, and cooking. I probably will only be putting things about Floriography, Greek Mythology, history, baking, eventually some of my soaps, and maybe some of my sewing projects. My favorite musical artists are Penelope Scott, Pentatonix, Madilyn Mei, Chappell Roan, Melanie Martinez, Cavetown, and Beetlebug. I enjoy fictional books mostly but I also will sometimes read nonfiction books, they just don’t typically grab my attention as much. My friends and I keep a collection of quotes and I might share some of them here, with peoples permission of course. I’ll also probably share some funny moments from the DnD campaigns that I am in. I am here for anyone who needs a friend to talk to, especially after the 2024 elections, so please feel free to reach out if you ever need support! That’s all about me, I hope you have a lovely day/afternoon/night.
So I am bored and midterms are happening right now for me so I have decided to distract myself by sharing some random Greek Mythology facts. These might have some NSFW facts so I’m putting the facts under the cut
Fact #1: the word that is translated as virgin (ex: the virgin goddess like Athena, Artemis, and Hestia) is actually more like the word maiden. Basically the “virgin” goddesses aren’t forced to be virgins, they just can’t/don’t want to marry. The best example I can think of to demonstrate this is the muses, since they have several children (like Orpheus) but they are considered “virgin” goddesses.
Fact 2: the underworld in Greek Mythology is also known as Hades, like the god that rules it. Hades is also not the god of death, that would be Thanatos, Hades is the god of the dead meaning he decides what happens to them after they die.
Fact 3: despite the fact that incest and rape was common among the gods it was actually majorly frowned upon in Ancient Greece. Mortals were held to different standards than the gods and there are several myths that show how the Ancient Greeks found incest/rape between mortals taboo and wrong.
Fact 4: the depiction of gods/goddesses would vary depending on the city-state that was depicting them. One of the best examples is Athena, in ancient Athens they typically focused more on her relation to wisdom and crafts but Sparta focused more on her role in battle strategy and warfare.
Fact 5: Hestia was actually very important to the Ancient Greeks but she is not very well known because she’s only in maybe three myths. She was believed to stay in Olympus so she was never really shown during myths which makes it difficult to find information on her.
Fact 6: the actual way that Cerberus is spelled is Kerberos but Kerberos is also a computer system so Cerberus became the more common way to say the name so that people wouldn’t get confused.
Fact 7: the most common myth about Medusa (the one where she was assaulted by Poseidon and was turned into a Gorgon by Athena) is actually a Roman myth, not a Greek Myth.
Fact 8: the Phoenix did exist in Greek Mythology but instead of being red and orange like fire it was believed to be purple, because it was associated with Phoenicia which was famous for a purple dye that was produced from conch shells.
Wow, thank you! I love listening to things and I love this valentine :)
@imtylered go listen to entertainment, if thats ur thing :)))
I found out what happens when you add to much baking soda to cookies 🙃
If you really think about it modern medicine is basically witchcraft. Like if a pharmacist were to go back in time and show people how we make medicine now, they would probably be burned at the stake. Someone mixes different items together to make items that cure different ailments. That is basically what witchcraft is!
Yeah this is definitely my favorite trope honestly. I personally don’t write but I need a mix of angst and fluff in my fic.

The thin pink and gold one says “you are beautiful” and the gold star says “doing my best” but it’s a bit difficult to see.

This post is specifically to inform people about the new bill Trump is trying to pass. Reminder to all people to stay safe and strong during this time. Don’t be afraid to message me on here if you need someone to talk to.
Last night he announced that he was going to pass a bill banning anyone under the age of 19 from receiving gender affirming care. Unfortunately this bill will likely pass because a lot of people, even if they support the LGBTQ+ community, believe that people shouldn’t be getting gender affirming care until at least 18. Eventually this bill could be used to try and get rid of gender affirming care all together. Please stay safe, especially if you’re part of a minority and/or a minor.
I have zero idea what this is gonna be about. Please enjoy whatever I come up with!
