a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

Do you guys think that if Steve didn’t do the whole 70 years in the past thing Bucky would’ve kept growing his hair out and keeping more memories he made with Steve?

I think about them a lot.

It's a bit rough but that's all I got for now. 4231 has imprinted itself in my brain and I can't stop thinking about it despite the lectures I need to watch.

Song- Buried in Water, Dead Man's Bone

4231 belongs to the legendary Vandal.

I feel like SCPs would undergo a zoochosis like event after being in containment for so long. They would go insane right? Especially SCPs that are highly aware of their containment. (049, and 682 for example.) It would include slow behavior change, desperate need for stimulation and repeated stress relieving activity. Rocking back and forth, pacing, talking to oneself etc. I don’t think that the personal of the SCP Foundation would do much to help these SCPs, probably wanting to see the SCPs behavior when kept like this. I’m assuming that this would eventually make the SCPs have a violent outburst or something along those lines. Anyway I’m writing fics about it. 049 is first. Follow and stay tuned if you’d like to read them!

Unpopular SCP opinion go!

The older stuff is low key basic. (I like the old stuff.)

You can take that negativity back to where it came from.

I haven’t interacted with the SCP fandoms in so long… wdym there are new rewrites?? WDYM THAT THERE ARE NEW WRITERS!?? WDYM THAT THERE ARE MORE SCPS?? WDYM THE NEW PEOPLE DONT SHIP 035 AND 049 ANYMORE??? THEY WERE THE SHIT BACK IN MY DAY!!? I CANT HANDLE THIS SLANDER!!!!
