Indirect Kiss

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!

sketches i may or may not finish🫡

first kiss

first thing i’ve ever posted art wise here i promise it’ll get better lmao

I imagine Annie doing dirty jokes to Armin while having conversations. Why? Idk, ask hitch, her fault, she influenced Annie in the bad way. Like, let’s imagine he just teases her:

Armin- You know, you’re pretty short

Annie- then put some inches in me

Armin- what-?

Annie- Yours, preferably

Armin- EXCUSE me?

Annie- Nothing

Things similar to this at least

KAPSJAYSIKSLSÆPPAKSUSUWJAÅ

Anoooonnn xD!!!!!

THO YOU'RE RIGHT!!! In the early days of their relationship Armin is set into believing that he's the one with the dirty jokes (because he has suuuuuch a big vocabulary he comes up with filthy words a normal person would never have heard) and it's all well and good because Annie's shyyy and she blushes easilyyy and he enjoys the light slaps she lands on his mouth when he affectionately drops some dirty joke that is so bad it's good xD

UNTIL.

Annie løses her shyness as time passes and becomes comfortable enough to shoot all of those dirty jokes back - with twice the effectiveness. Because girl has a SHORT vocabulary and a brilliant poker face and maaaannnnn she's never enjoyed seeing a man in an apron frying eggs turn crimson in the face after telling him "to put some inches in her"

It's over for him from that point. He can't win. Losing streak. RIP.

(good for her tho 😌)

ship of theseus

with titan regeneration, at what point is the shifter no longer the person they once were?

have eren's cheeks been ripped of their flesh and regrown so many times that they have never once been held by his mother?

has reiner cut his palms so many times that the skin on them has never touched bertholdt?

do porco's hands remember being held by his late brother?

is armin even the boy he was before shiganshina?

but it isn't all bad. the regeneration heals more than just physical wounds

annie has only ever been held by her father in a comforting way, since she's no longer the little girl he pushed too hard

zeke, at the time of his death, had never been violated by marley. his hands were not the ones forced to activate the rumbling.

so apparently bertholdt is a racist now. anybody else seeing this 😭😭😭

Tweeting with AOT

will you guys still like these posts even if I haven’t made them in a minute? :(

Headcanon that the Scouts somehow manage to convince Ramen and Burrito to stay with them, and Hange kinda adopts them, because who wouldn't want to adopt titan shifter teenagers? It's a little awkward among the cadets, but hey, a dysfunctional found family doesn't sound so bad for these two, no?

Would never happen but idgaf I want them alive and on therapy

in this house we will always love and appreciate bertholdt hoover
