So how long have I loved you for? Womb to tomb, sweetheart. Since before I was even here at all.

One thing I don’t like about modern portrayals of the Greek myths is this tendency to portray Aphrodite as, essentially, either goddess Regina George, or a flat “girly-girl”, like honey no. (Again, valid interpretation- still not one I like)

This is a complex, multifaceted goddess - so multifaceted, in fact, that she had multiple forms and epithets, including at least one (1) male form named Aphroditus, usually depicted with an erect phallus

Aphrodite Ourania, the daughter of Ouranos, heavenly and spiritual and far separated from the works of man, goddess of the celestial love and homosexual desire

Aphrodite Apotrophia, the goddess of love in Thebes, who expelled from the hearts of man lust and sinful pleasure

Aphrodite Areia of Sparta, warlike and fierce, lover of Ares, the armored one. Worshipped through the Hybristica, when women took on the traditional roles of men

Aphrodite Pandemos, daughter of Zeus and Dione, goddess of common, sensual pleasure, worshipped alongside her companion Peitho, goddess of persuasion, goddess of heterosexual desire

She of the common man, whose sanctuary was erected by philosopher Solon and paid for by the escorts and prostitutes she was the patron goddess of - well, according to the records, mostly the hetairai, the high-class escorts, but I always assumed that that was because the pornai, their cheaper counterparts, simply couldn’t afford it

Melainis, the Black One. Androphanos, Killer of Men. Anosia, the Unholy One. Tymborychos, the Grave-digger, but also Eleemon, the Merciful, also Genetyllis, Mother, also Morpho, the Shapely

And so, so much more than “just a girly-girl” (not that there’s anything wrong with that interpretation)

Bela: Cassandra, keep an eye on Daniela today. She's going to say something to the wrong person and get punched. Cassandra: Sure, I’d love to see Daniela get punched. Bela: Try again. Cassandra, sighing: I will stop Daniela from getting punched.

Don't go tonight

Stay here one more time

Remind me what it's like, oh

And let's fall in love one more time

I need you now by my side

It tears me up when you turn me down

I'm begging please, just stick around

I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me

I know that your love is gone

I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy

Don't tell me that your love is gone

That your love is gone

MK Worldbuilding Rant Post

Okay so I got curious to see if there was any canonical maps for the realms since I want to draw maps for each of them and if there are any it'd make it easier for me. There are two different ones for Outworld but-

(1 from Deception Krypt and 2 from MKX phone game with edits from the Reddit post I found them from)

These are horrible in my opinion. Outworld has conquered a minimum of 5 named realms (Edenia, Osh-Tekk, Zaterra, Vaeternus, and Arnyek Islands. 6 if you count the unconfirmed Tarkata) and many more unnamed realms. So I ask- why is it so small???

There is a max of 9 continents (give or take) in it. But the land on the left is labeled "Lost Edenia" so those two landmasses are Edenia and the "Artic Plains" could also Edenia since there's a high possibility it's the cryomancer's homeland so the entire left half it just Edenia. Which leaves the whole of Outworld at just 5 continents. That’s stupid and doesn't make sense!

If Earthrealm, a realm that hasn't conquered a single realm, has 7 naturally occurring continents WHY IS OUTWORLD SO SMALL????

just saw a good post about how it's antithetical to assign strict determinism to top/bottom roles within mxtx fandom because tgcf and mdzs have tons of gender subversion but it made me giggle so hard because I don't think the post op read scum villain since it wasn't mentioned at all which is like. The quintessential ultimate gender fuckery role determinism meta critique that very clearly lays out what mxtx's status quo for character subversion and trope flexibility is especially within the bl genre

That’s got to be the best, most insane, most satisfying, MOST FASCINATING season finale I’ve ever watched in my life. Holy fuck.
