all this talk about you being a snapewife but when last i looked my name’s not severus snape, so
YOU ARE RIGHT. Everyone, this is my beautiful wife—Kels. She is one of my two beautiful wives. They are the only people I am meeting on an astral plane, thank you and goodnight day.
I am a Kelswife and a Bwife only.

I saw it in your tag game post that you're also fond of the Apollo-Heracles conflict 👀 for a myth that appears in only a couple of sources, it sure has a lot of presence in the vase paintings (no seriously, everytime I think I've seen the last of it, I find ten more)
SO do you have any favorites among the paintings that represent this story??
OMG OMG THIS ASK IS A GIFT. IT IS A GIFT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LETTING ME TALK ABOUT THIS
I also think it's extremely interesting that it's a story so popularly portrayed by vase paintings and in such a variety of ways!! It's certainly one of the stories that gets left out of written compilation of Heracles' legend a bit (which is a shame, I think it's a fantastic story) but Apollo had a very peculiar relationship with Heracles in general that I just kind of find amazing (and very, very funny).
Apollo is not a god with any legitimate grudge against Heracles, but he does argue with the mortal a bit like he argues with his favourite brothers 😂Part of why I love the story of Apollo and Heracles fighting over the tripod so much is that it is such a little brother thing for Heracles to be upset with the proclamation his elder brother has given him and so, he throws a great fit, taking up the chair and declaring that he'll just give himself a better prophecy! And Apollo, instead of being a marginally professional big brother, decides to fight him for it until their father has to break up their cat-fight. Like was that not just the plot of the Homeric Hymn to Hermes? Is this not exactly how Apollo treated Hermes when he was a child and now those two are inseparable? 💀
Because of this, my favourite vase paintings tend to be the ones that highlight the personal squabbling between Apollo and Heracles the most. There are some very elaborate ones that have the full host of them - Athena, Heracles, Apollo, Artemis, usually a dog and a doe, I've even seen a couple that had birds and plants etched on them, but the simplest ones that show Heracles about to bonk Apollo with his club out of frustration or depict Heracles nyooming away from Apollo while Apollo (presumably) yells curses about how he's going to fling Heracles head first into Tartarus for daring to take his things? Yeah, those are the premium big brother/little brother things I'm looking for.

Also the one in the Theoi.com archives is a real classic - perfect energy.

Being in this very community saved me. Thank you all so much…
Being an ex-anti of, heh, well literally everything had been the core bane of my existence since middle school. Being suckered in with the promise of protection and recovery only to soon uncover the horrid truth behind being an anti—mostly the manipulation that came with it, the fact that I had been groomed into thinking harassing and pushing literal children to suicide over silly cartoon animal costumes and fictional characters is okay and acceptable because, in their eyes, “it’s the right thing to do.”
Thank god I got out of that mindset when I entered high school because, hey, let people do what they wanna do. If it’s not hurting me or anyone else, I don’t care.
Don’t worry, this is just a message saying thank you to all the proship/profic people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, and anyone else in particular: the freaks, the weirdos, the pervs, and the like. Ya’ll are cool!
No longer do I have to hide!

HMMMMM. Let's talk about THIS right now, because WTF.
Is Tim in my walls?
BABES.
Let's delve into this.
First of all, I WAS SO RIGHT ABOUT THEM MEETING IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN BOBBY BRINGS A PATIENT AND I AM GAGGING OVER THIS HOLY FUCK.
@thetangycheesemanwithaplan called the stalker AA plot which is posted below, for ya'll to see, which we just saw in the promo for 7x08 and I am FERAL OVER THAT.
SO NOW, let's delve into the fact that I...
Called Bobby wanted to gain his forgiveness, which is hinted in the promo.
PROTECTIVE ATHENA LIKE LOOK AT HER FACE IN THAT PROMO ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!
The entire revenge plot like come on, I CALLED THIS SHIT SO HARD.
Amir losing someone in the fire, potentially a wife or fiance..... I SAID THAT I ACTUALLY SAID THAT!
NOW, onto my cheeky lil ideas for the next two episodes because I have some more thoughts... Again, these scream AO3 but, let me fantasies okay because that episode and promo did things to me.
Picture this.
Bobby walks into his lil AA meeting and low and behold, there is Amir, ready to throw all Bobby's troubles at him, and Bobby spirals because damnit he wants to make amends with this man and he is making it so. damn. hard.
NOW, Athena is like, you stay the hell away from this man Bobby or so help me GOD I will tie you to this goddamn dining room table with your firehose. So he listens....
UNTIL
He gets a text message from Buck, but no, it's not Buck, ITS AMIR, because AMIR HAS KIDNAPPED BUCK AND IS HOLDING HIM HOSTAGE IN AN ABANDONED EASY MOTEL IN THE DESERT.
"come get your boy. come alone."
Buck is all like "Father help" and Bobby of course is like "OH NO MY BOY" (if you understand this reference I love you, if not, it's okay you made it this far I still love you.)
Bobby shows up and he is READY FOR A GODDAMN FIGHT (Kenneth did day a conflict for Bobby in episode 8 and we did see this man put a LITERAL KNIFE TO BOBBY'S NECK) so if this does not scream fight (WHICH I ALREADY PREDICTED ANYWAY) then I don't know what does.
Buck is all tied up and a bit battered and bruised but mainly concerned about the fact that he can smell FIRE and Bobby is fighting this man while OH NO, THE EASY MOTEL IS STARTING TO BURN AND FUCK THIS IS NOT GOOD.
Tag Amir winning/getting an upper hand on Bobby and him and Buck both end up stuck in this motel burning down.
Queue, Ashes Ashes 7x09.
Now, we all saw the helipad in the sneak peek pictures of them filming in the desert so, imagine, IMAGINE, Tommy, Buck's sexy hot as mother fucking firefighter pilot boyfriend coming to save his Boyf and soon to be father in law.
SCREAMING.
Okay I'm done. Someone take tumblr off me.

Breathe. You're still loved.
Breathe. That little child in you still loves you.
Breathe. The child that didn't have anyone to them loves you for not becoming something you faced.
Breathe. The world spins and with it, so do you. You're alive.
Breathe. Somewhere out there, someone wants to be like you.
Breathe. With blood or fire, this is your rebirth.
Breathe. You can make things better for yourself.
Breathe. Time will change.
Breathe. You suffered and lived. You will live again.
Breathe. The fire in your lungs will dwindle.
Breathe. The urge to throw up will ebb.
Breathe. You know your name. Shout it to the void eating away at you. You can overpower it.
Breathe.

I'm so maxed out on social interactions right now. I've talked to what feels like two hundred people in the last five days. Slept in three different houses. Travelled literally thousands of miles. I'm physically tired and emotionally exhausted and—oh look, it's time to eat AGAIN!
I just want to sit in a quiet room and stare at a white wall for four hours straight.
