Greek mythology retellings that I like:

We updated this myth for a modern setting while keeping most of the story and major elements of the mythology intact

We made a story loosely based on or inspired by an old Greek myth, and we’re upfront about that

Greek mythology retellings that I don’t mind:

This is an adaptation for laypeople who have little familiarity with the subject matter, so we simplified some things out of necessity

This is an adaptation for children, so we kept it age-appropriate and handled the sexual/gory material in a non-explicit way

This is a ten-minute YouTube video that can’t possibly explain every tiny detail about this extremely complex topic, so we’re gonna stick to the basics

Greek mythology retellings that I loathe with every fiber of my being:

This is the Secret True Version of the original myth that historians have been hiding out of malice, and if anyone tells you otherwise they’re a liar who’s shilling for Big Archeology

The original myth was Wrong and Problematic and you’re Bad if you enjoyed learning about it, but don’t worry, I rewrote it to make it Good

I hate history, I hate reading, I hate the classics, and I especially hate ancient Greece. I did zero research whatsoever for this project and I have no respect for the source material or the field in general, and I’m very proud of that

#i think this is why i’ve always liked Hadestown but I hate those Hades/Persephone romance books #there’s a difference between making a play loosely based around an old myth #that incorporates existing mythology about Hades being the god of wealth/the ruler of the underworld and uses it to make a point #versus writing a romance novel and going NO ACTUALLY THIS IS TOTALLY WHAT THE ANCIENTS BELIEVED #EVERY HISTORIAN IN THE WORLD IS LYING TO YOU BECAUSE HISTORIANS HATE TRUE LOVE #this is also why I never minded kids’ series like the Percy Jackson books or that weird goddess high school AU #using Greek mythology as a framework to write a fun adventure story is cool!#but sitting there and going #UM these myths are Messed Up and hashtag Problematic and I rewrote them so now they’re Morally Okay to Like #is just obnoxious #basically #making not-necessarily-accurate-but-interesting mythology-inspired fiction is fine #but making stuff that attacks historians and archeologists #or spreads misinformation #or makes people feel bad for ever enjoying or wanting to study the original Problematic mythology #is just irritating.#anyway #classicsblr #greek mythology

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

#yeah yeah hashtag notallamericans or whatever the fuck #I’m just irritated watching people whine or centre themselves #like sorry your clothes smell like smoke gladys but people have lost their fucking homes #and the government does fuck all for indigenous communities #so you know who’s gonna end up getting more aid #but sure brad can’t go out for his usual morning jog because of the canadians #also all these fucking news articles making ir about america as if canada has somehow done this on purpose out of spite #someone buy me a punching bag for my birthday thanks #artschoolrambles

Ghost Kitchen (brought to you by criminal entrepreneur, Red Hood)

Danny’s got the easiest job in Gotham.

He works as a fry cook at a shoddily-run, independent burger joint. Hardly anyone comes in, despite prices being criminally low, and portions insanely large, and while the manager looks like the average tough-as-nails ex-con, he lets Danny mess around in the kitchen whenever the place is empty. (Which is often. This place has to be the city’s hidden gem or something!)

Mr. Manager’s the only one ever there with Danny, except for sometimes when his buddies come over to smoke and play cards. Danny would find it shady, except part of his job is not to ask questions. Literally, he was told during the interview.

(It was a weird interview. Why would they need to hire someone who’s been in a gunfight before? Like, he has, but Gotham’s idea of “hirable qualities” is so bizarre.)

So instead he whips up some killer burgers with the frozen ingredients, and basks in the praise as the guys tell him he shouldn’t have, he does too much for this joint, ain’t that friendly!

Now, Danny’s a chef on the newer side. As a teen he’d preferred the look of Nasty Burger over anything with Michelin stars, and he only really took up cooking after Jazz moved out for college. But just like ecto-exposure used to turn the groceries sentient, Danny’s low-level ecto signature imbues all his food with something historically haunted Gothamites just love! And Danny’s never been one to half-ass a job when it makes people happy.

With fresher produce, real meat, Danny’s sure he can take his dishes to the next level. It takes a couple months of badgering, but his manager finally agrees to contact the mysterious store owner, who keeps the place going, despite profits Danny knows have to be in the red.

Danny spends the morning prepping. He pours his heart into his food, eager to impress. The big boss will be here soon, and he wants to prove that despite the dangerous location, this place has real potential!

It isn’t until the Red Hood shows up that Danny realizes he’s been working for a money laundering scheme.

#ecto has a weird effect on them actually. a lot like how danielle drinks ecto to keep her stable #ecto has positive health benefits for gothamites! it boosts their immune system gives them a little more energy makes them less irritable #silly hc but i think its fun #also danny just. thought it was a normal ass interview. the person who hired him was heavily hinting at the criminal element of his job the #whole time. danny just kept thinking man i cant believe all interviews are like this in gotham. every one of the #m asks if im okay lying to cops. i am but its weird i never got asked this in amity #dpxdc #dcxdp #dc x dp #dp x dc #dead on main #ghost kitchen au #danny fenton #jason todd #kipwrite

POV your partner finally believes you about those 24 voices in your head but somehow it still doesn't absolve you of responsibility, damn it

#disco doodle #it just gives Kim more specific ways to get irritated with Harry #oh well it was worth a try #This looks really wonky #I might try again with this and add more stuff #The full time job and also doing art thing just got to me and I needed to do some drawing even if it's just this #Rip me #Kim Kitsuragi #harry du bois #harrier du bois #my art

sometimes fandom seems to struggle with the concept that...people can be kind/"good people" in some situations and very very not kind/not "good people" in others.

I feel like there's this urge to either write off the positive behavior as "fake" or to find a way to ignore/explain away/write out the negative behavior. and I personally find this really really irritating in both directions, actually

#the really bitchy addition to this post i'm leaving in the tags: it kinda makes me wonder if they've ever met real people #this isn't just about villain police stuff either #but it's not not about that either #mostly it's just. characters can be more than one thing depending on the situation #just because a character kills somebody doesn't mean every time they're nice it's totally fake #and conversely: just because somebody does good things doesn't mean they can't also have taken very harmful actions #anyway. irritable early morning post i might regret later #lise's aggressively bitchy opinions about irrelevant and unimportant matters

#rottmnt #I am always very nervous when I draw commissions that are related to someone's story... how to explain it...#No matter how many times you might tell me that it's okay #I can't put it in the words because it sounds stupid and silly #but #you see #It's CAS #cass fanart tag #and it is commission #I ALWAYS FEEL NERVOUS TO POST COMMISSIONS YES I DID THEM FOR SOMEONE BUT they might be related to someone's story or comic and I sit and #think “Can I show it? Isn't it irritating? Am I even allowed to take commission related to it??” I“M SORRY I'M FIGHTING WITH THIS FEELING #ALL MY LIFE #okay no I can't explain it it's just my stupid brain that feels very nervous about such a topic and wants to hide everything related to it #You saw nothing but I just needed to put it into words to feel a little better about it #*hides*

parallels that deal me +10 psychic damage for every second I spend pondering them

#cameron is wilson in the way that amber is house #except the former goes unmentioned a lot more #both cameron & amber had the potential to fix house & wilson respectively #but that’s the issue #no level of well-adjustedness could root out this level of codependency. this particular brand of love #house and wilson are the antithesis of one another but in the sense that they compliment each other’s pathologies like a puzzle piece #not to use another hannigram quote again but. they’re identically different.#that’s why they’re soulmates <3 #house md #hilson #house/wilson #greg house #gregory house #james wilson #hatecrimes md #allison cameron #GOD just thinking about it #house became irritated with cameron’s pursuit of him #because he’s insecure and believes he’s fundamentally unlovable #and her pattern with falling for ‘charity cases’ did nothing but affirm her lack of genuine interest in him #meanwhile. when it comes to wilson #he’s actually elated to know that he’s screwed up enough to never leave him #and the same goes for wilson #when he goes mattress shopping with amber #she encourages him to choose something he likes. for himself #because she doesn’t want him to indulge her to the point of resentment #and so he gives in! because it’s the healthy thing to do!#but when it comes to house #when house tells him to choose furniture that fits wilson’s tastes #he ends up buying an organ FOR HOUSE. and the response? ‘I like what this says about you wilson.’

Sorry y’all the entire Clever Hans wiki article should be basic required reading at this point.

The “Clever Hans” effect, also understood as animals performing tasks because their handler/owner subtly and often unknowingly cues them that they’ll get a positive response is well documented. Hell, it’s been observed in drug sniffing dogs where the dogs will give false positives based on the dog’s observance of the handler’s body language. Scientifically that’s very interesting.

Dogs using buttons are not “speaking” they are using what they know will get them a desired response. Dogs do speak, to us and each other, in their own form of communication (body language mostly). We as humans are adept at being able to learn to read this just as dogs can read OUR body language (body language we often don’t know we are communicating btw). That’s neat as heck.

#dogblr #dog buttons #it’s just straight up anthropomorphism sometimes with button folks #and irritating that they are calling them ‘experiments’ and ‘studies’#when it’s one or two people with their individual dogs #like literally just clever Hans but dogs #like even koko the gorilla falls under this contex.#why can’t we just let animals communicate naturally? the human being is more than capable of learning that

Unless you're into clingy men, dating Gojo would be so annoying. This mf won't let you leave the room without asking where you're going. He's not gonna follow you, but don't take too long. Even if you're just using the bathroom, if he thinks you're taking too long, he's outside the door asking what you're doing.

God forbid you try to go out with friends who aren't also his friends. He'll tell you to go out, have fun, and he doesn't care. Until it's 3 hours later and you hear a very familiar voice from behind you responding to what your friend just said.

This man is never leaving you alone. You're stuck with him for life.

#i love gojo #thats my man #but i just know he would piss me off #on top of being a sagittarius #he's clingy and for someone that likes their space #he would irritate me to the core #jujutsu kaisen x reader #jujutsu kaisen imagines #jujutsu kaisen #gojo x reader #gojo satoru

Do you know how much media has been produced in the last decade? This really was the era of overstimulation where you never really could watch all the stuff there was.

So when people complain that TV will be bad now, so? Go back and watch all the stuff that's just rotting on streaming platforms it's not like it's 2007 and linear TV is your only option.

But most importantly just support the strike so that the people who make all the stuff you like can keep making it :)

#I'm not even from the US but I find this argument so irritating in the age of streaming #so what if entertainment sucks we literally just had a so called golden age of television it's not like theres nothing to watch #support the wga #writers strike #wga strike #also tbh I wonder if writers in Germany have a similar union bc maybe ir would do the entertainment business here good to have one
