When I played the first global testfire, I never would have imagine myself to love this multiplayer shooter so much. Goodbye Splatoon 1 and thanks for all the irreplaceable memories.

I'm just waiting for someone in the tags to claim April Fools Day is a stolen pagan fertility rite. Can't wait to see all the mental gymnastics, I've got scorecards ready.

This was actually so different when I started it and I'm planning on posting WIP shots to sort my thoughts in a different post because I am TIRED and want to post this now. thank you for reading this far

Every few months twitterinas bring back the “carnivores are a problematic element of nature and we should feed them synthetic meat and make it so they don’t eat herbivores. this is completely normal, feasible and won’t have any kind of repercussion on the ecosystem” discourse

EDIT: Mercury is stationed direct on Jan 1st, 2024. The source I used which stated it was in retrograde until the 18th had a typo.

EDIT: Fixed the zodiac signs for the full moons using a new source.

It's great, everywhere people are making excuses why they should be mean to people, every day I hear a new reason that advocates to be evil to this particular group, but don't worry, this time, for realsies tho, they definitely deserve it :)))))

People wonder why they're so miserable, well frankly, I don't see them adding much joy to the world when they're just searching for the next acceptable target to vilify idfk

The warping of the story of Perseus and Medusa makes me angry. People act like the versions where Medusa used to be human are the only versions. People act like Athena did that to save her in those versions. People demonize Perseus.

He was a 15 year old kid trying to save his mother, was assisted in killing Medusa by Athena (in some versions), and used her head to kill the man attempting to force his mother into marriage.

He’s no monster. He’s a child doing anything he can to survive and keep his mom safe.

Medusa may have been a human in some versions but Perseus did not know that. The only way he would have known is if Athena told him. She didn’t.

Perseus is a victim too, in the older versions where Medusa is a born gorgon he and his mother are THE victims.

I read a post where someone was saying he hunted her for sport, killed her and used her as a weapon just because he could. How has the story become so warped that we all forgot that he was a child fighting for his mother.

Perseus was not the villain of the story.
