Apollo is famously a twink tho... a blonde, skinny hairless boy kisser bro that's literaly his thing? Everyone agrees. I mean everyone. Not everyone can be wrong

Can't tell if you are being serious rn because it's like saying Poseidon didn't live in the sea, Artemis wasn't a lesbian or Aphrodite wasn't born from the sea 💀💀💀

First, the fact that you conflate being a twink with being blonde is fucking racist. Twinks aren't just skinny white gays. Any skinny, hairless gay guy is a twink, regardless of race or hair color.

Secondly, Apollo isn't skinny, hairless, or gay.

He's lean and muscular, just like how ancient Greek boys were expected to be. He has a luscious bush, just like ancient Greek men were expected to have. You call him a "boy kisser" (infantilize homosexual intimacy much?) but he has MANY more female lovers than he does male ones, and "Twink" is GAY SLANG SPECIFICALLY.

Never mind the fact that his relationship with Hyacinth is straight-up pederasty. And conflating pederasty with being gay is homophobic.

Artemis also isn't a lesbian. You are attributing identities to ancient gods that literally didn't exist in antiquity, LMFAO.

"Gay" and "lesbian" are identities that queer people deliberately assign to ourselves. They are identities that exist in context, and pretending that homosexuality existed in the same form that it does now in the ancient past is revisionist history.

According to this Forbes article as well, it sounds like they may not be actively hunted either, but are accidentally caught by fishing vessels, so hopefully population decline isn't a concern :3

Have you heard of Hàkarl

i dont think so

This was a survival food!! As stated in the above it has a VERY unpleasant smell and taste, so it's not exactly a popular dish but was created entirely out of necessity!

sometimes i think about the history of coffee culture in islam and how it spread like it’s so funny

discovered by sufis who decided it was a miracle from Allah since it allowed them to stay up late into the night for night worship

miracle beans = UNLIMITED DHIKR

cue scholars debating for years about whether it’s haram or halal and if it should be classified as an ‘intoxicant’ or not

fast forward to 16th century ottoman empire, where a woman had the legal right to divorce her husband if he failed to provide her with enough coffee

europeans called it the “mohammaden gruel” or “devil’s drink” bc they believed it to be a “bitter invention of satan and his followers”

fast forward to pope clement viii finally giving in and tasting it to see what the hype is about and then stating: “This Satan’s drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.”

pope clement viii then proceeds to BAPTIZE THE COFFEE BEANS

Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise it’s motivational-

• Those emotional scenes you’ve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you can’t articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesn’t mean it’s not impacting the reader. 

• Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasn’t necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now it’s gotta go. It doesn’t make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.

• There are several stories just like yours. And that’s okay, there’s no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story “original” is that it’s yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.

• You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But don’t accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Don’t be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things won’t improve, and that’s not you. It’s going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise you’ll like the outcome.
