Multifandom Meme Time! but this time it's 80% Moral Orel.

Multifandom

Me when I switch my interests. One minute I'm a horror lover the next I'm more into friendships and comfort. Then out of nowhere I fall in love with stuff that aches the heart, soul, and brain. Then it goes around again (and I would add more stuff here, but that would be too much).

Moral Orel

Clay's development as a person/character in a nutshell. He just gets worse and worse.

Moral Orel

I hope everyone can agree to this, right?

Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared

The fandom in a nutshell. We take pride in our patients. (Yes I did use the same meme twice again).

Moral Orel

The amount of disrespect the boy has during and after the death of his own mother. 💀

No wonder Arthur wanted to kick his ass.

Moral Orel

That one montage in Honor in a nutshell.

Moral Orel

The moment I saw this meme I thought of that little moment. I don't think anybody remembers it or paid attention to it (they probably did idk).

Moral Orel

Y'know. Them.

Moral Orel

Bloberta manipulates this man to marry her and she was expecting him to be happy about it? He legit said that he would rather be alone. I can relate to Clay on that tbh.

Moral Orel

His reaction to shooting his own damn son isn't enough to satisfy me into believing that he didn't mean to do it. His expression wasn't readable. Damnit. He probably did mean to shoot him who knows. (I personally hope he didn't but who can tell?)

--------------------------------------------------------

And that's all for now. Let me know if it's annoying to put the fandom's name under the image please.

Also sorry if you were expecting more fandoms, I just thought of Moral Orel memes than any other. Who knows maybe I'll make more memes dedicated to DHMIS (if people didn't already create so many), or other stuff. Probably more Wordgirl or add in some Fairly OddParents or even Baldi's Basics, who knows.

Thank you for taking time off your day/night to look at these. Have a good rest of your day/night! :3

What is your preferred interpretation of Achilles' demi-god powers?

Do you think it's the armor that gives Achilles most of his abilities? Do you think he inherited god-like-superhuman powers? Do you think he's a hulking giant (like Ajax is usually portrayed)?

Thank you so much for this great ask!! Achilles' powers are something I've thought about a lot yet never before in relation to his armor. I gave this a lot of thought, so let's see what we have!

What is your preferred interpretation of Achilles' demigod powers? Do you think he inherited godlike-superhuman powers?

First of all, just to get this out of the way: I'm sure it's a pretty well-known fact, but in the Iliad Achilles isn't invulnerable in any way. The "Achilles' heel" thing and the impenetrable skin is from later myths and is not Iliad canon. Achilles bleeds like any other man, he's just better at not getting injured than most men.

Homer uses a variety of epithets to describe him, some of which are: swift-footed, breaking through men/armed ranks, lionhearted, and godlike. From these we can gather that he's super strong, super fast, far beyond what a normal mortal man would be since he's like to the gods, but he doesn't have any other flashy powers. He's a super-soldier essentially, and that is attributed to him being a demigod. So I do believe that he inherited godlike powers from his mom's side of the family.

Is it the armor that gives Achilles most of his abilities?

I admit I thought about this a lot and it made me question what I already know lol, because I didn't remember anything like that mentioned in the Iliad. So I went on a little deep dive for this, searching for any and all mentions of both of Achilles' sets of armor. The first one, the one which he gave to Patroclus and was then later claimed by Hector, I'm not sure where Achilles got it from (probably from Peleus? Perhaps it's mentioned somewhere and I missed it) but it's described as very shiny, very strong, very beautiful, but not as having any like... magical qualities of any kind I guess. It didn't give Patroclus any special powers (he's a beast all by himself uwu), and in the end it sadly didn't prevent him from getting killed, and it also didn't prevent Hector from getting killed, so I think it's safe to say it's a non-superpower-giving armor, however splendid and strong.

The second set of armor, the one that Hephaestus made for him, is a bit more interesting: it's described as extremely strong and durable, way beyond what normal armor would be, while also not being heavy or cumbersome. Nothing can really get past the shield, and the breastplate and greaves get their fair share of beating, but no sword or spear can pierce them. There's an interesting passage when Achilles is putting on his armor in the camp:

godlike Achilles made trial of himself in his armour, to see if it fitted him and if his splendid limbs ran freely; and for him it was as if they were wings that lifted the shepherd of the people.

Describing the armor in such a way, it makes it sound like not only is Achilles' new armor uncannily light for how strong and durable it is, but it actually makes him limbs feel like they're wings that lift him. If we take this very literally, it could possibly mean that Hephaestus also crafted the armor in such a way that would give him bonus power, or something like that? So it gives him +10 dexterity as well as strength and a massive constitution boost lmao. It is epic armor after all.

However, the armor itself isn't indestructible, nor would it prevent him from getting killed if the enemy was stronger. During his fight with the river god Scamander, Scamander calls to the Simoeis river, his brother, to help him defeat Achilles:

Come, defend [the Trojans] with all speed, and fill the currents of your water from the springs, and stir all the torrents in the gullies, raise a great wave, stir a tumult of timbers and stones, so that we stop this savage man, who now is powerful and determined as a god. For I think his strength will not help him, nor at all his beauty, not that fine armour, which somewhere at the very bottom of the floor will lie buried beneath the mud; and his own body I will wrap around with sand, spreading more silted rubble than can be counted rubble in abundance, nor will the Achaeans know how to pick out his bones; so much silt I will cover over him.

Achilles was in actual danger of being killed by the river gods, and he probably would have been had Hera not asked for Hephaestus' help to burn away the waters, armor be damned lol.

So from all of these I think we can conclude that a) Achilles' sets of armor were both dope, the second one especially dope, but b) they do not, by themselves, give him any sort of special, magical power. Achilles was described as a force to be reckoned with since way before he got Hephaestus' armor, and after it he became (almost) unstoppable.

Is Achilles a hulking giant like Ajax?

I don't think so? Ajax's size specifically is mentioned in the Iliad a few times: he's referred to as "the bulwark of the Achaeans" and he is also characterised as gigantic and mighty. He also carries a huge-ass shield which is big enough to cover both him and Teucer in battle, and which he also uses to bash people's skulls if I remember correctly, so that alone gives the impression of someone who is built like a mountain.

Achilles' size on the other hand isn't really mentioned, I don't think? Like he's very powerful and must be of considerable height, but his superhuman strength is attributed to the fact that he's a demigod, not to his size. I feel like if he were a beast like Ajax we would have heard more about it, but since that isn't the case, I think it's reasonable to assume that he's impressive-looking, but he's not gigantic.

I hope I answered your questions! <3

I'm surprised they DIDN'T explore the Nelson and Marge pair up more later on, especially because I don't think they're really done an episode where Homer and Nelson are a duo causing mayhem and that almost writes itself (wait did they have them in like a Big Brothers plotline or something but even if they did CRIMINALLY underutilized)

As a matter of fact they actually did have them in a plot like that because the show has been on so long that not only did Marge and Homer separately foster the same kid who also dated Lisa and befriended and unbefriended Bart repeatedly, but Nelson is not even the only character you could say this about.

Send 💕 and my muse will use The Love Calculator to see how compatible they are.

sweating profusely because a random man's malevolent aura reminds him of his own damned father!

"I swear I don't have daddy issues."

"I don't think we'd work out. Because there's too many similarities between us and I'm scared."

New updated Comfort Characters and Kin List!! 💖

Not much coming for comfort characters but a lot more for my Kinlist ✨

I even have the light version AND the dark version. I like to think that my comfort characters get the light colors while my kin list gets the dark ones. But I used both for both instead. It might get updated again in the future. We'll see.

(note: had to sacrifice some fandom names to keep the characters' names since this is about the characters and not the games/shows/etc that they're from really 😁👍)

Imagine being a Trojan guard, finding the horse outside the walls of Troy, hearing shit coming from inside it, but still bringing it into the walls of your city anyway???

On: today i dreamt...

What started as a story about a group of gangster breaking into an abandoned (but not really?) prison to film their movie and being caught soon devolved into an international conspiracy filled with subplots about love and corruption, culminating with both groups that we thought were equally righteous finding out not everything was quite as it seems.

does Ares have the epithet of Philios? I mean, you can totally bond with someone out of hatred for a third person + it's pretty common to form some kind of camaraderie with your opponent in a sportive match
