#it was in 5th grade music...

[smile-files]

in elementary school they gave us letter grades, but not the typical letter grades. E for excellent, VG for very good, G for good, etc. i got straight Es except for that one VG i got for no reason (that's a story to tell). in middle school they gave us number grades, and at least a handful were under what you'd consider A-level (i remember a few 80s). but i did get grades good enough to get gold honor roll every semester, which is all that mattered to me! that wouldn't be enough for me now though :P

Feels like I should say, just for the record, that I'm not an expert in mythologies and classics in general, and I've never claimed to be. I draw what I want and enjoy what I enjoy. I assume most people here on Tumblr do the same, regardless of their fandom/content.

I've somehow managed to reach the endless discourse people have on here (funny to think about how we've technically been arguing over Greek mythology for thousands of years at this point, but I digress). I have my own takes and my own interpretations and preferences; I have plenty of annoyances. I'm not interested in arguing online over what I like and I'd like to continue to keep it nice and friendly.

I like Hades Supergiant, Epic the Musical, and I like Achilles, Patroclus, Hermes, Zagreus, Melinoe, and Artemis. I don't hate any characters (including those from the Iliad & Odyssey). Yes, I have read the Iliad; no, I haven't done research on every single variation of the myths. By all means block me and spare us both the time and effort. I'd prefer that over inviting yourself onto someone's blog/post to pick a fight.

(keep reading for more context)

Seriously. It's weird to send harass an artist for drawing a mythological character you hate. Even without taking into account the various nuances, many different versions & variations of myths, or that I'm specifically drawing modern adaptations, at the end of the day, this is a character. However they act will not matter in your real life. I and most people do not engage with mythology and fiction with the intent of copying it word for word.

I frankly do not care if you hate the characters I love or vice versa. Just don't bring that negativity to the post/blog/tag of people who do not share your opinion, much less send insults anonymously. It's basic internet fandom etiquette. There's no need for such hostility and ill-will. It's a waste of time. I'll still keep making and drawing what I want, and you'll keep disliking whatever it is that you dislike. Save some time and just avoid me.

what was your guys’ first music obsession

[shellofaride]

the one season = one shift format is actually perfect for fandom shenanigans because you can’t actually prove that whatever you want to be canon isn’t

rent is so great bc on first watch ur like “im not sure what just happened but that was awesome! im sure if i watched it more i would understand it” and then it’s like

angel got paid $1000 to kill someone’s dog (circumstantially). benny is like “yeah my girlfriend’s sad bc her dog died :(” and mark is like oh my god. should we throw a party. should we invite bella hadid. and then they do the most cuntwrenching song of the whole show about the culture that comes from a disenfranchised community which is just musical high after lyrical high after performance high and just when you start wondering how they could possibly end this song or if u even want them to an alarm goes off for two of the characters to take their AZT and that’s how they find out they both have AIDS so they can bang about it. and just before this is a spoken word poem song i used to dissociate during as a child but it’s so bad i’ve looped around to loving it as an adult bc yeah thats what live art is like

and it’s the best musical in the world

I thought there were a lot of plays in the world but my college keeps doing ones my high school did so I guess there aren't that many

shuffling my tangled & shucked playlist and forgetting about the shucked because it's played like 10 tangled songs in a row and suddenly i'm jumpscared by a 6 minute long song literally just about how much these people love eating corn

Ik ik 'you should let yourself be bad at things' and all that but everytime I make a mistake or am not good at something immediately I feel like I should be hunted for sport

The fact that acquisition of not only a ticket to see MICO, but also one to see Djo was successful fills me with a joy unknown to man kind - and the shows are like... within 2 weeks of each other.

My Teenage "Metal Or Nothing" Self is dying on the inside, but they were an angsty little brat and they need to let me enjoy things.
