Song Of The Day!

song of the day!

this is so lonely core:

day 51- No One to Nothing {Mother Mother}

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!

that one time that I got so pissed at cartman in a South Park character ai 😭😭

song of the day!

in honor of my creating a vast oc:

day 72- Dream Sweet in Sea Major {Miracle Musical}

OMG ALSO NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW THE TRUTH?? LIKE HELLO?? I KNOW MUSICAL FALLS GOT ABANDONED BC INTEREST JUST FIZZLED OUT BUT YK WHAT? IM INTERESTED.

someone needs to restart musical falls

I just heard the full version of Trust No One and OMG ITS AMAZING

even if the full project never gets finished I NEED someone to make a fully fleshed out version of Trust No One BC ITS ACTUALLY FIRE

(also can someone please put trust no one on spotify I am literally begging PLEASE PUT IT ON SPOTIFY)

I had another idea for the Rich Old Man Squad roadtrip au

its not much but yk how on most roadtrips you rotate between drivers so one person isnt driving the whole time? yeah well tgat doesnt happen here, peter drives the whole time. its not just that though; all pf them have their own little spot and theres an unspoken agreement that everyone stays in their spot. so example elias rides shotgun the whole time, simon rides in the back on the drivers side, etc.

oh also simon is that little bitch who annoys everyone (mostly peter though) by going “are we there yet” every five seconds 💀

song of the day!
