Song Of The Day!

song of the day!

ahhh sorry I didnt do yesterday’s I was traveling a lot and by the time I got home it was like five am 😞

I rewatched back to the future the other day and I listened to this song for the first time and you should to:

day 86- Back In Time {Huey Lewis & The News}

this very good song had been stuck im my head:

day 87- Welcome To The 60’s {Nikki Blonsky • Hairspray}

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!

omfg im laughing so hard i fell asleep on my keyboard last night and i just found this

okay this thought has been rattling around in my brain for like. two days now

so like, killing elias kills all the institute employees, right? heart of the institute whatever, we been knew. hard and fast rule, excluding ppl powerful in their own rights who could maybe weather the connection being severed

and the only way to quit the institute is to stab out your eyes, and sever the connection to the beholding that way.

so like. what happens if you stab out elias's eyes? if you steal jonah's eyes out of his skull after taking a knife to them? would that free all the employees? would that sever jonah's connection to the beholding, perhaps give og!elias his body back?

personally i think melanie should have gotten to at least TRY that. as a treat.

every night I think “wow this might be the night I go to bed early” and every time without fail I fuck it up

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

guys I’m scared for this fandom

ok I don’t want to get into any shipping wars but the things I saw while trying to tag a tma fanfic are actually wild 💀

I think my personal favorite wild ships I saw were -Stranger Entity Breekon/Stranger Entity Hope/Reader -Elias Bouchard | Jonah Magnus/Gertrude Robinson -Martin Blackwood/Jonathan “Jon” Sims | The Archivist/Reader -The Beholding/Jonathan “Jon” Sims | The Archivist -Gerard Keay/Gertrude Robinson -Elias Bouchard | Jonah Magnus/Jane Prentiss -Nikola Orsinov/Jonathan “Jon” Sims | The Archivist

and my two personal absolute favorites:

The Beholding/Elias Bouchard | Jonah Magnus The Once-ler (The Lorax)/Gertrude Robinson
