ANYWAYS, HAVE U GUYS SEEN THIS????

I feel like a lot of people in the fandom tend to forget this, so I'm just here to give a kind, thoughtful reminder :]

Ambrosius Goldenloin in the movie is an East Asian man (Korean-coded), his skin is tan, his eyes are monolid and his nose is big

He's voiced by Eugene Lee Yang - a Korean-American actor who also has Chinese and Japanese heritage. Eugene Lee Yang looks like this:

During the production, when Ambrosius was decided to be East Asian, artists looked up queer East Asian-American men, and based Ambrosius off of them. Ambrosius is literally drawn to look like Eugene Lee Yang

Please draw him as such, thank you

Since atla is again having an extra surge of popularity, I'm shooting my shot:

[ID: (Rest of image description in alt). At the bottom of the image sits the text: "Zuko: Okay. Well, I can't remember how it starts, but the punchline is "leaf me alone, I'm bushed."" ID end].

Did we ever find out what the setup for this joke was? I feel kinda haunted by it. If not- anyone wanna make their best or worst guesses?

edit: I now know what "I'm bushed" mean, but go ahead anyway 👍

"Ugh I'm a lesbian but [INSERT GENERIC MAN CELEBRITY] tho 😩👌🏻"

Absolutely the fuck not. No, not even Timothy Chalet or that guy who plays Lip in Shameless. They're all ugly and I'm not pretending otherwise.

I know people have probably made this comparison/connection before, but Turin is LITERALLY the in-canon version of the "I can fix him" meme,, he's the in-story (undeserved? lol) blorbo of many characters,,, Listen,,, "I can fix him" says the characters who like,,, end up dying [most likely by his hand],,

The One out of Two Times Sigyn Snapped

This is just a little thing I wrote about my variant/interpretation of Sigyn, who is morally grey, so this is going to get a bit dark. This is basically my retelling of the "Horse Myth"(I kind of share my thoughts and feelings in the tags about the myth as a whole. As well as some extra info about what I changed in the retelling) but kinda from Sigyn's perspective and what leads to her later actions :

Tw!: Dark topics, just the upsetting nature of the Horse myth in general, implied murder

Sigyn wasn't really one to snap despite her somewhat terrifying appearance. She was cool and collective most of the time. Sure, if you got on her bad side, she'd chew you out with sassy, but no God, not even her own spouse, never expected her to resort to killing someone the way she did. It happened after Loki's original plan to keep the bulider from receiving his payment began to fail. So they transformed into a beautiful mare to distract the builders' horse. That's the story that was told to Sigyn, but only part of it was the truth. Loki told Sigyn the real truth about what Svadilfari was truly a shapeshifter like herself and even after the incident wouldn't leave Loki be. When Sigyn learned this, she was furious she tried to bring this up to the other gods, but her concerns fell on deaf ears. Some gods even made fun of the situation. But some saw Sigyn was serious, and the others making a joke of this situation caused her to inevitably snap. So, Sigyn took matter into her own hands she disappeared into the forest for almost 3 days and nights. When she came back, she was bloodied, but it wasn't hers. However, when she come back, no God or Goddess dared questioned who or what she had killed. However, Svadilfari never showed his face around Asgard or anywhere again. It is unknown if Sigyn had killed him or not , only that she had returned with furious victory in her eyes. 9 months later, Loki had Slepinir and gave him to Odin. It still remained a mystery about what happened to Svadilfari. Yet, no God or Goddess dared to make Sigyn too angry again for the time being. That was until they decided to lock her spouse away and murder her children. They should have learned from their mistakes the first time when Sigyn had returned from the forest.

Just read fairy’s got talent

Faybelle internally: fuck, i hate this stupid pink bitch. What the fuck is a demigoddess???

Cupid internally: hmm i wonder if i can convince that cute goth cheerleader fairy to make out with me

Orome for @silmarillionno and @skippo94

can we actually take a moment and remember swan upon leda? can we actually shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down and think about our lord and savior swan upon leda because i'm tired of doing it alone every single day guys

sometimes i wonder why 'modern greek mythology interpretations' tend to look at the Aphrodite's Affair situation and settle on 'it was so girlboss of Aphrodite to cheat on her husband with his literal brother' and make jokes about Hephaestus being 'cucked' or 'an incel' when memes about publicly humiliating cheaters are absolutely widespread on the internet, and in the myth itself Hephaestus basically just does the equivalent of the 'welcome home cheater' on the bedsheets meme, it's VERY weaksauce in comparison to what his mother usually does

then i remember Hephaestus is a disabled man and i realize exactly why.

Im the funniest motherfucker on the planet

okay you know what? I think it's time for me to take advantage of the release of the Percy Jackson series to talk a little about the relationship between the Greek and Roman gods, because I have a feeling that we're going to have a new generation of people who are convinced that the Romans "stole" the gods of the Greeks and... um, I feel the need to talk and analyze this thing with you. Because the matter is much more complicated than you think

Like SERIOUSLY, the pjo fandom and Greco-Roman mythology enthusiasts in general need this chat.

First of all it is important to understand how the Italic populations came into contact with Greek culture, and who the first Romans were.

Southern Italy (Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Puglia) was colonized by the Greeks since the 8th century BC.

Like any colonization, the local population had to adapt to the culture, religion and language of the colonizer (in Italy there are still two dialects coming from ancient Greek. Griko in Puglia, and Grecanico in Calabria). Every part of the territory considered Magna Graecia (Megàle Hellàs) presents archaeological finds relating to the Greek colonies, and with them also temples dedicated to the gods. (So much so that in Sicily, at the beginning of spring the Antesphorie (or antephorie) were celebrated in honor of Demeter and Persephone, for example).

The entire Etruscan pantheon was strongly influenced by the Greek one. The indigenous deities were joined by the Hellenic ones, creating a new religion.

But still: who were the Romans? The legend of the foundation of Rome refers to Romulus and Remus, but from an archaeological point of view the Romans were probably the result of a mixture of Latin, Sabine (plus Samnites and Sabelli*) and Etruscan peoples. The latter influenced the initial Roman Pantheon the most. Just think of the similarities between the Etruscan goddess Menrva/Menerva and the Roman goddess Minerva.

The same applies to Maris and Mars, who among other things share holidays in March (a month dedicated to them moreover).

Unfortunately there is not much information on the Sabine and Latin ethnic group, but it is known for certain that Etruscans had contact with Magna Graecia, and the Greeks in general, so their culture was never unknown to the Romans.

So what does this tell us? That the Italic populations knew the Greek Pantheon, because they had been colonized and/or influenced by the Greeks. The first Romans can't exactly steal something that's already part of their culture.

*Samnites, Sabelli and Sabines were part of the same ethnic group, and although all three groups can generally be called "Sabines", I preferred to specify. At the same time it is not known how involved the Picenes and Irpinians were initially with the birth of Rome, so I have not mentioned them.

something i always find interesting involving the story of Icarus is that he was also warned to not fly to close to the sea. I understand that because he died trying to reach the sun thats the bit people focus on but it wasnt the only way he could have.

this isnt me disagreeing with you at all either! i love your interpatation of the myth and always love reading them!

-mongus anon

no yeah!!! i think there’s also a somewhat weird misconception with that, in a general sense. because the sun isn’t what killed him, even though it’s treated as his killer. it was the plunge into the sea that sealed his fate. both extremes played a factor in his death! you’re so right in the fact that the sea aspect of it is largely overlooked in comparison!! where are my icarian sea stans.
