Troilus design! (ft best dad Apollo) He's around 12 years old here.

Researching Troilus' story is not an easy task because unfortunately most of the ancient texts focused on him didn't survive and others only survived in fragments.

This story is brutal even for greek mythology standards so please keep that in mind if you want to continue reading this or do more research on your own.

Something that all of the versions seems to agree on is that he was a Trojan prince, son of queen Hecuba and was killed by Achilles. His father was either Apollo or Priam (Apollo fits more with the context of the story though).

Most of the versions also focus on Troilus' young age and he's often shown to be visibly shorter than Achilles on the vase paintings depicting his death.

The most popular version of the myth (which is also supported by ancient vase paintings) states that Troilus and his sister Polyxena (she's not preset in every version though) went outside of Troy on their horses and while they were at a fountain Achilles ambushed them.

Achilles then chased Troilus who tried to hide inside of Apollo's temple (possibly seeking his father's protection) but Achilles caught up to him and murdered Troilus either inside or in front of the temple and then brutally mutilated his body.

There 2 alternative reasons given for the murder:

1. There was a prophecy which said that if Troilus reached 21 years of age Troy would never fall.

2. Achilles fell in love with Troilus, tried to force himself on him and was enraged when the boy refused his advances. (This version seems to have more surviving evidence)

It could also be that the only reason that Achilles killed Troilus was the fact that he was a Trojan prince and therefore an enemy but this does not seem to fit with the brutality of the act.

Here are some vase paintings that show Troilus' death at the hands of Achilles

So you know that thing that's floating around about Vivziepop not wanting to ruin people's fun by confirming Alastor's romantic orientation?

I was going to make a venty (untagged) post about how that's kinda queerbait-y* and arophobic. But then I was like "you know what, I should check the source because I don't remember the exact quote."

And it turns out I never actually saw the exact quote. Nor did anyone talking about it bother to include the context. And while I don't think either removes the queerbait-y* or arophobic aspects of the statement, they certainly make it better than it initially seemed to me.

Here's the stream (linked to the proper place): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ONxBZoR0A&t=3793s

And here's a loose transcript (it cuts out some less relevant statements in-between but loses almost no context as far as I could tell): https://www.reddit.com/r/HazbinHotel/comments/mle06e/alastors_sexual_orientation_aromanticasexual/

*I am keeping the actual word on the shelf, I just don't know a better one to use here. I think what she said is SIMILAR to queerbaiting but is NOT queerbaiting.

With the queerbait-y stuff, it still maintains the "aromantic people, tune in, this character may or may not be aromantic. We'll tell you eventually, just keep watching!"

With the arophobia, it still maintains the prioritization of shipping over representation, and treats aromanticism as a subsect of asexuality at best, and as flat out not an orientation at worst.

I don't think either is as bad as my original perception, but they certainly aren't good. And keep in mind, this was 3 years ago, any number of things about her beliefs could have changed in any which way since then.

But what gets me is that Vivziepop absolutely did not say that everyone should just let everyone else have their fun. What she said was to have fun and be respectful of his orientation and the people that are represented by him. She says that multiple times.

I'm not feeling this generous, but I guess you could say the fandom had some kind of Mandela Effect over what she actually said.

I think it's more likely that a few people, maliciously or not, spread the incorrect paraphrase without context, and the rest of the fandom, reasonably, believed them.

Anyway the lesson here is check your sources before you contribute to misinformation on the internet.

#hazbin hotel #neon's void #to be very clear: this post is just meant to correct the misinformation I saw floating around and believed myself #it is not a defense of vivziepop #nor is it a reflection of my personal opinions on shipping Alastor or any other aspec character #(my opinions on it are different than hers)

autism is not just social anxiety and being awkward and having an interest

ADHD is not just being fidgety or loud

some of you need to do some serious research on these conditions before claiming that you have them, because it’s getting exhausting correcting people’s misinformation

Actually I think we should all collectively work harder at misunderstanding TLoZ canon and simping for Ganondorf and I'm not even kidding.

#thoughts #ganondorf #tloz #zelda fandom critical #it's actually fine to reject and/or reappropriate an extremely flawed intended reading lens #I'd say it's even advisable #tbh I'm still mad at how most people were completely oblivious to totk's undigested orientalism/islamophobia #or that it wasn't a discussion point in the mainstream AT ALL #even among colleagues who honestly should have known better #and that people in here breaching the topic with as much delicacy and patience as they could muster #led to *entire sideblogs* being created to deflect this perspective #to “correct the misinformation” :)

Attention members of the

Spam Bot Resistance!

if we wish to eradicate the Porn Bot Threat we must first be sure we know how to Properly Attack a Porn Bot

Locate a Spam Bots Blog. Oftentimes a Spam Bot Blog will be apparent due to its Real Sounding Name, Link Blog Description, and Limited Content. you will most commonly find them Following Your Blog, do not let them stay there, instead:

Report the Bot. you do not want to only flag the adult content, as that will merely hide the Bots Blog, instead of destroying it. instead, you need to Report As Spam, this will get the bot investigated and (hopefully) executed.

Block the Bot. now that you have done your duty in reporting the Bot, you may cast it away from your homeland, making sure it gains no credence from following you.

Now armed with knowledge you may venture forth, destroying any Porn Bots that may foolishly block your path! good luck my noble comrades.

if you are not part of the Spam Bot Resistance fear not! any can join, be you Wizard, Skeleton, Mushroom or any other! we need all the help we can get in these trying times.

#skeleton war #skeleton war 2022 #spam bot resistance #skeleton posting #spam bots #please correct me if anything is wrong in this! we mustnt have any misinformation if we wish to win this war

On the one hand, the entire situation of James Somerton’s plagiarism sucks and I hate it, because I liked his videos, and I liked how he presented stuff. I hate that it took a 4h video from a YouTuber I’d never watched before telling me he plagiarized basically everything for me to realize. It makes me feel pretty stupid, you know? That I just took information at face value.

But on the other hand, I can now air out my main issues with stuff he’s said in his videos.

1) only the boring gays survived the AIDS epidemic

For the record, I’m not the best when it comes to empathy, all related -pathies, and emotions. But Jesus fucking Christ how insensitive do you have to be to say that?! Like holy fuck, have a little compassion or sympathy or whatever the correct term is! For fucks sake. It’s not that hard! The people who’ve survived the epidemic have had to see so many of their friends and family die. They’ve lived to see so many deaths, deaths that the government saw and did nothing about. How disrespectful do you have to be to boil them down to “the boring ones”

2) comparing sex to broccoli in a “you won’t know you won’t like it unless you try it” way

Fuck right off with that. I say this as an asexual who has never had, and never intends to have, sex, but that’s not how it works for everyone. ASEXUALITY IS A SPECTRUM! EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES! Some people have sex before they realize they’re asexual, some don’t. Acting like we all have the same experience is a gross generalization, one I especially hate to hear from someone who made an entire podcast episode thing on asexuality.

#james somerton #hbomberguy #rant #correct me if I’m wrong on anything I’ve said specifically the bit on aids I’m not that well versed in history #and unlike some people I don’t want to spread misinformation

I would like to publicly apologize for spreading misinformation on my blog. it was irresponsible of me, I should have made the proper research before publicly posting false information, and yet I've recklessly spread Israeli propaganda multiple times. I'm deeply ashamed for my actions now that I see the truth, and I will reflect on my actions and try to do better in the future.

Download from the Internet Archive here.

Download from Itch.io here.

You are encouraged to print or otherwise share these with as many people as possible!

[ID: A single-page pamphlet titled, "Mickey Mouse is now in the Public Domain!", with "public domain" underlined and bolded for emphasis. The body of the flyer reads:

"The copy-rights for the animations “Steamboat Willie”, “The Gallopin Gaucho”, “Plane Crazy”, and several promotional posters for them have expired!

But what does this mean for you?

Let’s start with the shorter list:

What you cannot do:

Trick people into thinking the art you are selling of Mickey Mouse is official Disney merch, or sanctioned by Disney

Sell art of Mickey that includes *specific designs* still protected by Disney’s copyright

What you can do:

Share, edit, remix, remaster, and sell the original animations that are now in the Public Domain.

Sell digital, traditional, and written art that you have made of Mickey, Minnie, and Pete, with no permission required!

Add new colors and patterns to Mickey, Minnie, and Pete’s classic outfits, or design them brand new outfits altogether!

Create new stories with Mickey, Minnie, and Pete, as animations, movies, books, or comics, and sell them!

Some common misconceptions…

Some people think that you have to stick to the original designs to the letter, IE: keeping them black and white, not having gloves on Mickey, and not letting them talk – but this is just a misunderstanding of what the Public Domain is! You can design and use them in any way you want, as long as you aren’t using a *specific design* still protected by Disney’s copy-rights. They can have color outfits, gloves, and talk! They belong to all of us now! Have fun!"

Framing the flyer at the top right, middle left, and bottom right are three pictures of Mickey Mouse with red shorts, a tan face, brown shoes, and gold buttons, with a pink tongue when his mouth is open. In the first, at the title, he has his arms thrown into the air with joy. In the second, at the "what you can do" section, he is looking excitedly at something in front of him. In the last, at the "common misconceptions" section, he's wearing a black hat with a red stripe, posed with a smile as he looks at something in front of him. Each is posed to be facing the text, as though they are reacting to it with excitement. End ID.]

The whoever is more oppressed is right brain rot strikes again because Hbomberguy is straight and James Somerton is gay so therefore we must believe him.

By him I mean Harris but tumblr logic wants you side with James

"But James commited suicide"

WRONG James posted another video and faked his death three times

EDIT: was informed Hbomberguy is in fact bi. Post cancelled, go home.

#hbomberguy #james somerton #tw suicide #also as you can see by my bushnell tag I have little sympathy for sad bigoted white boys who kill themselves 'to make a statement'#correcting misinformation

Legend of zelda (if you like it) doc ock ! (Specifically like the guardians in breath of the wild)

"I've always found those wandering guardians to be quite fascinating, namely their legs. So! I took it upon myself to examine the remnants of the ones you've defeated and crafted something quite useful out some spare parts you've delivered! What do you think? A brand new personal mode of transportation! All the benefits of mobility, but with less stress on the body! Well.. among other nifty little things that they're modified to be capable of!"

How do these people lie so much and honestly believe their ship is real Stormy? How many things are even correct here? As far as i can tell the only correct thing is that Jk said Tae listened to Seven first. Everything else is either a straight up lie, mistranslation or something taken out of context. These are the things that taekookers believe to be true and somehow jikookers are the jokers?

Let's just do some super quick fact checks and correcting misinformation with links to proof to backup all my sources here:

"Jungkook said I want to join the special forces"

True! (comes from the last live before military service)

"Jungkook said Taehyung is my safe space"

False! Jungkook said that Tae was his common ground (comes from festa 2020 profiles is where they mistranslated that one from)

"Jungkook said my relationship with Taehyung is not for the cameras"

False! Made up by shippers in 2014, Proof here

"Jungkook said that the first person to hear the song Seven was Taehyung"

True! From Seven Spotify Interview

"Jungkook is the first person to hear Taehyungs album and record it in his house"

True! JK was the first to hear some of Tae's songs. And Tae did record A singular song at JKs house/studio. The whole album though wasn't mentioned specifically (but that might still be true) and only one song was recorded at JKs place I believe. Comes from JKs live and Tae's You Quiz interview

"Jungkook has a song he always sings to Taehyung"

False! I think they just made that up. I did a little searching anyway, lol but yeah no....

"The members said Taekook will never separate"

False! The members made a fortune teller joke where one said "so you guys can never be apart then?" As a silly joke about the color shirts they were wearing. Proof here

"the members said that if you want JK, call Taehyung (and vice versa) because they are always together."

False! The only thing said about JK was that he didn't like answering his phone and basically never did. Everything else was made up. From MBTI labs

"They went together to show the movie and were wearing identical clothes with strong lesbian expressions about their relationship."

(lmfao what) Sort of true.... (?) They did go to the movie premiere together! And Tae wore an Morrissey/Oscar Wilde shirt (openly gay and put on trial for being gay) and JK wore a jacket with scripture about two men being jailed for their practices and one of which many people believe to be gay/queer coded and a shirt with references to Taylor Meed's poetry (openly gay and wrote for a gay newspaper). Idk what the rest of that was about though lol

"Taekook in a luxury hotel dancing RUN BTS together and spending the night!"

True, they were in a luxury hotel and danced RUN BTS!

And also False, they spent the night. No one knows, we just saw them do a TikTok dance. They made the rest up lol maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Can't make facts outta assumptions though!

Taekooks picture from their date that jokers said was OT7 but boom turned out to only be a date

False! Boom.... Was an OT7 dinner.... Lol Proof Here

And Bam that Tae raised and the photos he posted

True since Tae DID post a cute photo of him with baby Bam and made a joke about raising him. As did every BTS member with Yeotan.... Lmfao False due to weird exaggeration though

Taekook and their seven dance together

True! Tae danced Seven with JK on his encore stage!

youtube

Jimin said: Tae and JK love forever

True! He wrote their names in a heart in the sand in BV1 and that's the quote he said (sorta)

Jimin said Tae and JK share their music and everything and do not share it with the members.

False! I cannot prove a negative but the lack of proof of this quote anywhere ever should be enough. Lol they made this one up. Should've stuck with the tangible evidence that they shared their music with each other in these latest albums first instead of trying to take it one step too far and starting to lie lol

"they are the two closest members and they have special trips and a lot of real dates and like to spend all their time together and they like to stay up all night and watch the sunrise together and they share everything."

False! Lmao the more you read the more it becomes like fanfiction rather than evidence based facts

"Jungkook said he didn't know Jimin's number and hasn't seen him in weeks and months."

False! JK said he couldn't remember a GC nickname, he also mentioned during a different live that he didn't have Jins number saved. And JK clearly had been seeing Jimin at various points as they were signing up for buddy service in the military which takes a lot of prep time.... Lol but he still never said that, but he did say "I miss you" a lot, but that's not "I haven't seen him in weeks and months" lol Proof about the numbers here

"Jungkook will always choose Taehyung to spend private time with, a true relationship"

False! Wasnt said anywhere by anyone, just an opinion from a shipper lol

"Your ship is 0 without the company and the cameras and this is the truth, and in the solo era Jungkook spends all his time with Taehyung"

False! They spent lots of time together, but this is just a shipper fighting other shippers.... No facts, no ship or friendship in BTS will ever be zero either

And just more of that shipper fighting nonsense to finish it off. Sucks since they started off relatively strong with Taekook appreciation only to just degrade into shipper bullshit.

Anyway, this was fun. I wouldn't mind more true/false games in the future 🤣🤣🤣

Excuse me but since when is it spelled T.rex instead of T-Rex? double checking because even autocorrect says T-Rex is right and T.rex is wrong thank you in advance and have a nice day

T. rex stands for a genus and species name, Tyrannosaurus rex

we can shorten genera to their first letter to allow for ease of communication

leading to T. rex

in genus and species names, the genus is capitalized, the species is not

there is never a hyphen between the two

it has never been T-rex, or T-Rex, or variations thereupon.

It's always only been T. rex

autocorrect is wrong. thanks.

Hey, so I know the post about Eret is going around, but I want to be clear that they didn't say they were scared of Sapnap, someone took them out of context and totally changed their meaning.

I can't clip because I'm at work, but the vod is here:

twitch

(timestamp 1:07:23)

And a rough transcript of what they said (while practicing ace race) is:

"That was still slower? What! [It's okay it's practice.] True. Debating, we might Stream tomorrow depending on whose about and able to practice. Because um, Sapnap's on the team, and he doesn't like losing. I don't want to make people upset at me, that would not be fun. Because I'm not that great at playing the game, despite having played it for most of my life. Um. I'm not sure what to think about that…. nyoom."

His tone is very casual and he's talking as he's trying to practice/beat his prior time. It's pretty understandable from the context and his tone that he's talking about not being good enough for his team and people/fans getting mad at him for not playing well enough. This has been an ongoing issue that a lot of streamers have discussed of not liking being used as a "nerf" or being accused of dragging down better players (like Sapnap). It's an issue with the MCC community at large. It's also within the context of Eret's tone that this isn't something they're actually scared about, and it's said in a light hearted way. With sort of half laughs and stuff.

Someone took this out of context, totally striped the tone, and used it to try to go after Sapnap. Don't give those people what they want.

#sapnap #mcc #eret #theeret #dream team #discourse #sif speaks #saw this going around and wanted to correct the misinformation #if there's another clip going around #then I'll correct this #but this is all I could find
