I feel like there's a parallel phenomenon to Western fantasy novels not knowing how long a thousand years is whereby JRPGs don't know how big a continent is.

Can you explain anything about Poseidon’s Mycenaean version? I’ve heard some say he ruled the sky, sea, and the Underworld but I wasn’t sure since I couldn’t find much on him.

Knew I saw one of these in my inbox! Okay so uh...

We don’t actually have much information on this Poseidon, on Posedao (or Posedawone). We know for example that he was worshiped in Crete, in the Minoan Era, and was almost certainly a bull God at the time and the most important.

We know that there are Linear B tablets talking about him, and many of the other Olympians (Atana Potiniija=Lady Athena is also mentioned).

We know he has been portrayed in tablets as ruling the Underworld, while still having command of the Sea. We know Zeus (diuja) is portrayed as a lesser elemental deity of the Sky, which Posedao as the supreme God of the time would have command over.

We know he was extremely prominent as a Sea deity, and in a land which is surrounded by water with a very large coast line that makes sense.

We know he has been known as the Earth Shaker (Enesidaone) for a very very long time (and as this area is where tectonic plates have shifted, this makes sense).

But we don’t have enough information to be certain on him.

We don’t know what his name means, only that it has several possibilities. He could be known as the Husband of Earth (Posis Da), which would mean he was actually secondary to his wife (Posidaeja (Persewa) or Da (Potinija) (Matere Teija) maybe, there are Two Goddesses associated with marriage to him) (we have records of offerings to the “Sito Potinija” which is most likely Demeter (along with Da, or Potinija, or Matere Teija), associated with Poseidon in this time but not in later times so much, these offerings were to the two queens and the king (or the two queens and Poseidon) (wanasoi, wanakate).

Though Posis meant Husband, Lord, or Master, so it could also be calling him Lord of Earth, and Ergo ruler of the Earth as well as the Sea and Underworld. It may also be a reference to him being the Earthshaker, and ergo Lord of Earth, as that is his most common title (Enesidaone) at the time.

His name may also mean Lord of the Waters (Posei-dawōn), which is supported by most of his shrines being by the sea, and most of his notable mentions in later mythos being as the Sea God. But in the Bronze age he was not referenced as a Sea God nearly as much as the Earthshaker (Enesidaone) so... hard to say. It was a popular later translation though.

We know Poseidon was the Wanax, but that simply means King or Military leader. Indeed we do not know if there was a title for high king, as many of the individual city states of the time had a Wanax (but there is implications that can imply they also had a high king, but we have no proof of such unfortunately).

He was venerated at Pylos and Thebes, and well noted in Knossos (as the Earthshaker specifically). His partners (and many other Goddesses) were called Mistress of the Labyrinth (dapuritojo potinija) in Knossos, which as theorized by some that the actual palace of Knossos at the time was named Labyrinthos or something of that nature, would make sense as the deities being Patron Gods of their palace.

Now if one goes to Arcadia, then Poseidon was a horse God who was a river spririt of the underworld. He persued Demeter (Sito Potinija) who became a mare and from the union Arion and a Daughter “Despoina” are born (and once there were animal headed portrayals of the Gods, Demeter included, in Arcadia). It is quite possible this is part of the origin of t he Minoatur myth, the portrayal of the Gods with animal heads, and later worshipers with animal masks.

(Notably Artemis or Atemito or Atimite is a child of Demeter (Sito Potinija) here, and closely associated with Poseidon (Posedao).

A lot of what we “know” is theory, or conjecture. We do not have enough record to hold accurate knowledge of Posedao, or any of the Mycenaean Gods. So much has been lost in the Bronze age collapse, and unfortunately we may never hold enough information.

Maybe one day, if Linear A is translated, we can learn more. But as of right now we are limited by our knowledge, and Linear B does not hold enough information.

WiLL.wOUld bE a mOm fRIenD

You fools. You utter buffoons. You useless sunglasses.

Will would be the 'Ran out of shits and coffee' friend.

He's not the type making sure you don't drink at parties, no. He's the one who will hear you mention you wanna buy a redbull Tequila and he's gonna pray for your liver but be morbidly curious as to how long it'll take you to puke.

He's that friend who can and will wrestle an Ares kid into submission solely cause hes not caffeinated enough to care.

He's that friend who took one look at stubborn hissy Nico, and fucking hissed back cause Nico ain't special, the sass ain't special, Will can do it too.

He onetime let Lou try a spell on him cause "Best case, I die."

We need to stop motherhen-ifying this kid and start letting him say "Well youre fucked if you do that. You should do it."

While out on my adventures the other day, I stopped at the farmers market to get some of their exceptional peach cider and a group of four college age girls all got out of an SUV, dressed somewhat identically (white face mask, gray or white top, dark bottoms, uggs) and headed up to the barn.

One of them shouted 'PUMPKIN' and pointed to one of the 90lb pumpkins they had out front and all of them ran to see it up close, taking turns with their phones to get a selfie each.

They were absolutely overjoyed to see pumpkins, turning every squash they could find over and over and taking pictures of it. They must have taken a hundred photos total.

It is entirely possible that this was their first time visiting a farm.

So I got my gallon of cider, some honey, and some fudge and those girls were in the line, each with a pumpkin held about belly height like they were six months pregnant with it.

Well... sort of.

Three of them were in line like that and the fourth of them ran up with a package of fudge. "Ladies look! Pumpkin Spice Fudge!"

"Oh my god where??"

So two of them went back to the fudge and got more fudge, got back in line.

Then another one went missing and came back with a bag. "Oh my god! Pumpkin Spice Popcorn???"

"I didnt think you could DO that!!"

"Where???

"Girls, we need a cart!"

This happened ad hominem until I think they had every single pumpkin spice item in the barn: soap, candles, taffy, cakes, breads, mixes... it filled a cart and was easily $300 worth of pumpkin spice stuff plus their pumpkins and they were so excited to have it all. It was treasure. It was a bounty. They had hunted well and their stores would be stocked for the winter.

And on the one hand I'm rolling my eyes because pumpkin spice is just... cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. But on the other hand.. they were so excited.

Like they were so excited to see pumpkins in a place that grows pumpkins and not at a grocery store and I suppose the takeaway is:

May you find unequaled joy in something as simple as a pumpkin in a place where pumpkins grow.

Can we call the Russian bot patrol something other than the IRA? For British/Irish people who aren’t children, the political context makes this doubled-up acronym extra confusing

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

oh my god, you remember the story with jane waynes baby! i wish she'd come back, and be the family wild child

How could I forget the story where Alfred is literally in a panic because he has no idea how to deal with babies, especially ones that are screaming, and Bruce and Dick just pass Junior off to him like, “Have fun! We’re going to get some milk!” Lmao. Poor Alfred. 

Imagine Jane just constantly dropping Junior off with Bruce and the rest of the family. “Cousin Bruce! So good to see you! Now I’m going to need you to watch Junior while I hop on over to Tahiti. I forgot to pack him any clothes, but I’m sure you can find some that he’ll like at the store. Alright, I better get going. Don’t want to miss my flight! Bye Junior! Mommy loves you!” 

And Bruce is just standing there like, “But... I am the night...”

I got Michael Yew and Lew Fletcher mixed up so real quick:

Hc where Michael Yew was a spy for Luke during the Titan War and when the bridge was destroyed he was actually captured/rescued by Luke or Luke's men, and he got to have a few moments of peace with Luke while he was recovering before Luke died a few days later. This is also assuming they are both appropriate ages, ofc

.................I just want to say that I've always had a special place reserved for Michael Yew and Luke is an interesting case to me so this headcanon just delights me to no end.

I like this better actually lolol at least Michael is alive. (I barely know anything about him but I'd love it if he was alive jasdhakjdka)

The part about Michael is a spy might be a fascinating factor for angst though. Because Lee Fletcher, his brother, died in the Battle of the Labyrinth. Which means that Michael is the spy for his boyfriend, who lowkey contributed to his brother's death.

Oh the pain this might bring---- this is a really brilliant idea! (o゜▽゜)o☆

A little HC of mine is Lee accidentally seeing Silena talk through her bracelet before the Labyrinth.

He was checking if others were in their positions and couldn't find Silena. He stumbles upon her and stands there for a moment, in disbelief, as he hears her talk to the Titan Army. Her face after she sees him looks like one of a person whose family was just murdered before them. Like Lee is the murderer.

He confronts her because how could she? She was his friend, she was camp's big sister, someone kids always went to when they had a problem or wanted to talk to. And there she stands, giving away their secrets?

They couldn't talk longer because they needed to protect camp (or Lee needed to protect it). He gave her one last look, one that told "We'll talk about it later," and ran to his siblings.

The last time she saw him alive, he was angry with her. The next time he had his skull bashed in. Her secret remained hidden once more.
