As Elon Musk Cements His Place In History As A Fascist Tech Overlord And The Rest Of The World Looks

day 6: modern au + shy kiss First kisses are always embarrassing <3

sleepytime..

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!

Ok so correct me if I’m just going crazy but Falco n Gabi parallel Bertholdt and Reiner right RIGHT

i fear i have a superiority complex over a vast majority of aot fans because i am one of the few who when watching season 4 in 2020 did NOT EVER HATE GABI now I lowkey think i'm better than everyone else because wtf you mean you hate this little 12 year old girl who is clearly severly traumatized and already has been shown to have been raised by a child soilder from the first episode??? this little girl who just watched her friends die and in response did the thing she was literally raised to do (FIGHT???) all this and then they defend eren bro there is no way.

AOT Angst Headcanon

Every night after the murder tragedy of poor Marco, Reiner would have a similar nightmare. He’s within Trost but it’s dark, and there is a body lurking nearby, and his face is familiar to him; despite only being half a head. It gets closer towards Reiner until…

Marco repeatedly blames him for his death.

Reiner sometimes wakes up in his warrior persona; constantly telling contemplating on if he did the right thing to protect his identity.

Other times he wakes up in his soldier persona; horrified on why his long gone comrade would blame him for what happened.

So: the letter-sniffing. I always assumed Historia was just like Marty from Grease, and that she hosed all her stationery down with Chaneldia No 5. What does everyone else think?

Please reblog for a bigger sample size, and also go wild with your comments/tags whether we know each other or not. 💕💖💕

I wonder what they meant by that

Bert died inside

haha he’s so sleepy so tired so stupid :3

good HEAVENS
