"What do you want from a remake" I DON'T WANT THEM. I DON'T WANT ANOTHER SOULLESS NOSTALGIA-FILLED CASH-GRAB. I DON'T WANT ANY OF THEM. I DON'T WANT ADAPTATIONS THAT KILL THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE OF THE THING THEY WERE BASED UPON NEITHER THE SHOT-BY-SHOT DESATURATED RECREATIONS. I WANT ORIGINAL STORIES!!! NOT REMAKES OF MOVIES THAT AIN'T EVEN 30 YEARS OLD!!!​AAGGGGGHHH

youre not “bad at art” you just need to find a character to latch onto to where you draw them 1 million times and you improve dramatically

i know this community is like… 99% francophone (and anglophone, although that just comes with the territory of being online in 2025), but i’ve translated the entirety of 1979 «starmania» (along with its plot summary from the wiki page) into russian because 79’ version is best version and nobody can convince me otherwise (my sincere apologies to the 2022 version lovers, but we all have our biases: y’all love the «starmania» that has the violent mentally ill pretty-boy johnny played by côme, and i love the «starmania» that has the weird intergalactic jesus johnny played by balavoine — that’s just how it is). here’s the link to the docs file. anyway, i’m off to do other random stuff that makes me feel useful. ;p

Thus without knowing it Psyche fell further in love with Love himself, so that now inflamed with desire for Desire, she leaned over Cupid, desperate for him. She covered him eagerly with passionate impetuous kisses till she feared she might wake him.

tr. by A. S. Kline

Fu così che l'innocente Psiche, senza accorgersene, s'innamorò di Amore. E subito arse di desiderio per lui e gli si abbandonò sopra e con le labbra schiuse per il piacere, di furia, temendo che si destasse, cominciò a baciarlo tutto con baci lunghi e lascivi.

Sic ignara Psyche sponte in Amoris incidit amorem. Tunc magis magisque cupidine fraglans Cupidinis prona in eum efflictim inhians patulis ac petulantibus saviis festinanter ingestis de somni mensura metuebat

The one in the middle might be Psyche.

Her wings have a quite weird shape, but that's not unusual for antique art. Other than Psyche the only Greek deity who's depicted with butterfly wings is Zephyros (funny enough), but she has a cloth that fully cover her legs clearly signifying that it's a girl.

And a couple of other pompeiian frescos featuring her.

A team of Cupids work to make perfumed oil. Fresco from Room Q (Mau plan) of the House of the Vettii (VI, 15, 1) at Pompeii.

Eros and Psyche family life headcannons

Knowing what Eros has been responsible for, Psyche tries to convince him to be less of a jerk when it comes to matchmaking. But Eros responces that he might be the one who inflicts desire but mortals (and gods) are still the ones who are responsible for their actions.

To prove his point he sometimes lets Psyche to decide/shoot who's going to fall in love with whom. And adds that he himself can't be 100% sure himself whether the lovers will stay faithful to each other or not. Still with her he tries to be more wise with decisions. But when he's on the "hunt" with Hedone he goes for pure childish chaos.

Speaking of Hedone, Eros is a total girl dad.

Also Hedone has her mom's curiosity, her dad's mischeviousness and devilishly adorable looks from both.

Even though Aphrodite is still a bit salty about Psyche, she absolutely adores Hedone to the point she presents her as her own daughter. Eros ahems on the background while Psyche is just happy that her mother-in-law doesn't try to kill her daughter.

Upon gaining godhood Psyche received power to affect people's mental state. She can ease someone's grief but also send depression if someone talks shit about her husband.

Similarly Eros won't tolerate disrespect towards his girls and will make the one's lovelife a total mess.

Underrated trivia about Circe

In the Aeneid it is mentioned that Circe had fire-breathing horses by breeding mortal mares with her dad's divine stallions. Her son Latinus inherited them and later offered them to Aeneas.

[rinasunny]

Gonna add my personal headcannon: Eros' angry departure was culmination of his paranoia about Aphrodite finding out, Psyche's sisters plotting, maybe even Apollo try to get his revenge on him and obviosly Psyche revealing his identity with a sense of her betrayal (her trying to kill him). Then he spends several days being bitter and depressed to the point he's apathetic about Aphrodite's threats to kinda disown him. But then realises that he misses Psyche more than he's mad at her.

Eros and Psyche

I know the story of Eros and Psyche is often told through Psyche's POV, but can you imagine the same story told from Eros's.

This God of Love, who's never actually been in love before, but constantly harasses/bothers mortals and immortals alike, suddenly falls in love. And only then does he realize what he's been doing to others for centuries. Love this beautiful and terrifying thing. It makes him happy and miserable all at the same time. He doesn't want/need it but at the same time refuses to let it go.

So he asks Apollo what he sees in the future. Apollo, who hates Eros for the grief he's caused him, tells him the truth- that if Eros were to continue loving her, she would try and find his true nature and betray him, and ultimately would die herself.

Eros determined to never let this happen, but unable to let her go, decides to take her as his wife but never let her know who he is. He keeps her from the rest of the world, not wanting any harm to come to her.
