Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Another reminder that Greek mythology is always somehow symbolic, metaphorical, allegorical, since we are dealing with anthropomorphic personifications and other embodiments of cosmic powers.

For example: Demeter has sex with both Zeus and Poseidon. Something-something about the relationship of the Earth with the Sky and the Sea (or the celestial and chthonian powers). ESPECIALLY since these relationships are said to happen at the beginning of the world, in the primordial times during which the world settled itself for what it is now.

Herakles' wedding with Hebe, the personification of youth, checks in with when he becomes an immortal god (aka, an eternally young entity). What better way to symbolize a hero escaping the clutches of death than by him becoming the husband of the spirit of eternal youth?

Why is Hestia never leaving Olympus? Something-something about her being the literal personification of the hearth, which is at the center of the house/community and does not move.

Why is Ares getting his ass kicked by Athena? Because Athena is civilization, and Ares savagery, and in the Ancient Greek mindset intelligence, wisdom and craft will always be above brutality, bloodlust and random cruelty.

Do I need to spell it out that the myth of Persephone-Hades-Demeter is about the cycle of the seasons, and how the earth renews itself and brings back life after a time of death?

And I wonder why Ares' companions during his mass-slaughters are called Phobos, Deimos and Eris - Fear, Panic and Discord... Why would the goddess that breaks harmony and sows feuds and chaos be depicted as the close sister of the god of the ravages of war and of the brutality of conflicts, what a strange mystery!

And I can go on, and on, and on. Remember, the Greek gods aren't just super-heroes or wizards (that's more in line with more "humanized" mythologies, like the Irish or Nordic ones). They are embodiments of concepts and ideas, personifications of natural forces and cosmic powers, they are living allegories and fleshed metaphors. Zeus wields the lightning because he IS the lightning and thunder. Dionysos is both the bringer of joy and madness because he IS alcohol. Hades is both the name of the god of the dead, and of the realm of the dead. Hestia's name is literaly "hearth" in Greek, Hebe "youth", Nyx "night", Gaia "earth", Eros "desire". You can write "Eris met Helios at Okeanos' palace" or you can write "Strife encountered the Sun at the palace of Ocean" and that is the EXACT SAME THING!

[Mind you to limit the gods to being JUST allegories is also a mistake not to make. Greek deities are much more than just X concept or X idea... But one part of the myths will always be, down the line, some weather metaphor or some natural cycle motif]

Bom, eu disse que usaria esse espaço aqui para postar meus estudos e tals.

Hoje eu não parei para estudar. Apenas vi dois vídeos de um assunto que a professora pediu para a gente revisar para entender o assunto que ela está dando.

Os conteúdos de cota inferior, superior, ínfimo, supremo, máximo e mínimo, eu entendi agora. Mas sei que para me sair bem eu deveria ter estudado mais.

Apresentações

Olá, meu nome é Samuel Jordão. Uma coisa interessante sobre meu nome é que apesar dele não parecer comum, se você pesquisar na internet você encontrará uns 50. Juro. Mas não quero entrar no tema nomes comuns senão alguma Maria José pode aparecer por aí. Foco na apresentação.

Tenho 30 anos, moro em Aracaju, Sergipe, e estudo licenciatura em matemática. Estou no último ano e tem sido bem estressante pois já era para eu ter me formado. Mas para não pirar, como estou pirando atualmente, eu tinha resolvido pegar poucas disciplinas em alguns períodos, por isso, algumas foram ficando para depois. Só que isso não apenas atrasou o curso mas também o tempo que estou na faculdade. Na verdade não é bem uma faculdade, é um instituto e lá tem curso de graduação, mas fica estranho quando falo só instituto, a maioria das pessoas não entendem que lá também tem curso de graduação, na verdade não sabem nem o que é graduação, apenas o que é ensino superior, e olhe lá... err... por isso eu falo faculdade, fica mais fácil pro pessoal entender.

Atualmente faltam 4 componentes para eu terminar o curso. Agora estou no final de período. Tenho menos de 9 dias para memorizar um conteúdo pra prova. Um conteúdo extenso. E eu não quero estudar. Então pra isso ~tã-dã-dããããã ~ que eu resolvi investir aqui no tumblr, rede que eu só usava para ver fotinhas e alguns modelos de letterings... e para baixar wallpapers de animes também. Sejam bem-vindos a minha jornada e que Atena esteja comigo.
