Dionysus: Respect my trans homies or I’m gonna identify as a fucking problem.
So I wanted to make a design for Aristaeus - god of bee-keeping, son of Apollo and Cyrene (aka best couple 💅🏻).
But I found only 2 statues of him and both depict him completely different and now I'm not sure on which one I want to based the design on.
On one hand, the older version would be funny because yet another of Apollo's children looks twice as old as he does
But on the other I really like the youthful appearance
Maybe I could do something in between? Like make him look 30sh and give him really short beard? Idk
What do you guys think?
me: why are the pillows always so fucked up
my cat:
This looks like a painting with like the composition and lighting
And now it is :)
we are in a media literacy crisis
friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.
IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:
We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.
It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.
So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.
You're correct:
Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.
Apollo and Athena hanging out :3

God as cursed images pt. 2....
Once saw a pjo Fan comment that Ares was Zeus favourite son because of trials of Apollo and I died inside a little bit. So enjoy my rant about it
1. Apollo in nearly every single myth is described as his dads favourite. No beating around the bush that’s his favourite son (and highly likely child).
2. The Iliad (basic Greek mythology reading) has Zeus tell everyone in the council that Ares is his least favourite child (most likely in all the Gods too)
3. Ares is incredibly loyal to his mother and through many texts (that aren’t biased towards Athena) is seen to love his siblings a whole lot, no matter what his mother says about them. In the myth of him getting abducted by the twin giants who were threatening to r@pe his mother and sister (Artemis) and to force them to marry them. Ares was angered by this and scared for this and tried to fight them by himself leading to his capture, torture and in some tales even r@pe until Hermes rescued him
4. He is the only God (in my memory) to not have ever sa ANYONE. Every single relationship was consensual and is the only man in his family to ever do so with Zeus, Hermes, Hephaestus, Apollo, Hades, Poseidon and Dionysus all having sa people
5. One thing that boils my blood the most though in pjo is his treatment of his children. Ares was despised by his father and his mother put a lot of pressure on him to be perfect for her legacy, causing him to act out a lot and be perceived as vicious and brutal. In every myth though he never wanted his children to feel the same way he did and was apart of every single one of his child’s life.
Hope you enjoyed my rant!!!! And if not well then idk what you want from me
AGHHHH!!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AND I’M SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID SOMETHING!!
Zeus: My head is aching.
Hermes: HEPH!!!!! BRING THE AXE!!!!!!
Zeus: WAIT NO IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF HEADACHE-
Hera, muttering to herself: ..bring it in anyway.
