Some Boyf Cuddles And Shit

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!

So I've had this idea/headcanon sitting around for a while about Rich; after the events of the story, his grandparents swoop in to take him away from his father after learning about the fire and all the other crap he'd been through. And after the school year finishes up, they fly him back out to their home in the countryside.

I dunno I just have a lot of feelings about Rich; I think he'd benefit from a nice quiet place where he can chill out and touch some grass.

And of course Jake comes to visit him

Yo, I just realised that the shirt Will Roland is wearing in the video for the acoustic version of Loser Geek Whatever has little USB symbols on, and yeah, thought that was cool and also appropriate lol

IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY by caswell on AO3

Jeremy Heere has had a lot of bullshit in his life. He’s been bullied, he’s struggled with mental illness, he was in a car crash that ruined his hearing- but he can cope with all of that at least moderately well. When he receives a letter from his estranged, domineering mother inviting him to her new home in Nacogdoches, though, the ground beneath his feet threatens to crumble.

Jeremy doesn’t respond at first. Should he tell him? Of course he should know, he’s his best friend, but… he’s not his therapist. It’s not like it’ll help. It’ll probably just be burdensome (because, after all, he is burdensome). Still, he finally answers, “I, uh. I don’t think I like my mother.”

Michael blinks, mildly surprised. “Really? When she left, you ran to my house sobbing.”

That’s true. That day was a blur- he remembers waking up, asking his father why he looked so sad and where his mother went, because it was Sunday, after all, so she should be home, and then it bleeds into the deep recesses of his mind and he can’t quite claw it up. But he remembers, too, Michael holding him in his arms, hugging him while he shook and sobbed and whined for his mother like a fucking baby. Michael, who had always been there; Michael, who always would be, like he’d promised him that day.
