*listening to music* hey that was a fic title
you know that feeling of just being so incredibly proud of someone and just completely in love with them cause yeah its great. my girlfriend just technically came out to be about their gender identity, even if I was there the entire time so I knew before, its just more official now, or at least what they think might fit them best rn and I couldn't be happier for her cause its been something she's struggled with for a little while now. its been a struggle for a couple months so to just have it mentioned casually and then have that sink in has made them so happy and in turn made me so happy and this is just amazing and yeah I'm a sap but live with it, I can be gay. they've struggled with labels and finding one they're comfortable with has been so incredible and I love them so much so ahhhhh seeing them happy has made me so happy

REBLOGGING SO HARD.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Almost all the people who liked did it out of reflex, go on their blogs and you can see they also reblogged this
Of course they do
a list of some of the horrible things jan van eck did that get forgotten:
- Proudly fessed up to beating Wylan when he was a child as a method to get him to read
- Married a teenager TWO YEARS OLDER than his sixteen year old son and got her pregnant
- Watched unfazed as Wylan got tortured by gang members in front of him (not that he literally hasnโt tried to have Wylan killed several times but I feel this takes a certain kind of evil)
- Put his wife in a mental institution because she gave him a son who couldnโt read
- Kidnapped a sixteen year old girl and tried to break her legs with a mallet so itโd induce as much pain as possible (who the fuck does this)
Another reminder that Greek mythology is always somehow symbolic, metaphorical, allegorical, since we are dealing with anthropomorphic personifications and other embodiments of cosmic powers.
For example: Demeter has sex with both Zeus and Poseidon. Something-something about the relationship of the Earth with the Sky and the Sea (or the celestial and chthonian powers). ESPECIALLY since these relationships are said to happen at the beginning of the world, in the primordial times during which the world settled itself for what it is now.
Herakles' wedding with Hebe, the personification of youth, checks in with when he becomes an immortal god (aka, an eternally young entity). What better way to symbolize a hero escaping the clutches of death than by him becoming the husband of the spirit of eternal youth?
Why is Hestia never leaving Olympus? Something-something about her being the literal personification of the hearth, which is at the center of the house/community and does not move.
Why is Ares getting his ass kicked by Athena? Because Athena is civilization, and Ares savagery, and in the Ancient Greek mindset intelligence, wisdom and craft will always be above brutality, bloodlust and random cruelty.
Do I need to spell it out that the myth of Persephone-Hades-Demeter is about the cycle of the seasons, and how the earth renews itself and brings back life after a time of death?
And I wonder why Ares' companions during his mass-slaughters are called Phobos, Deimos and Eris - Fear, Panic and Discord... Why would the goddess that breaks harmony and sows feuds and chaos be depicted as the close sister of the god of the ravages of war and of the brutality of conflicts, what a strange mystery!
And I can go on, and on, and on. Remember, the Greek gods aren't just super-heroes or wizards (that's more in line with more "humanized" mythologies, like the Irish or Nordic ones). They are embodiments of concepts and ideas, personifications of natural forces and cosmic powers, they are living allegories and fleshed metaphors. Zeus wields the lightning because he IS the lightning and thunder. Dionysos is both the bringer of joy and madness because he IS alcohol. Hades is both the name of the god of the dead, and of the realm of the dead. Hestia's name is literaly "hearth" in Greek, Hebe "youth", Nyx "night", Gaia "earth", Eros "desire". You can write "Eris met Helios at Okeanos' palace" or you can write "Strife encountered the Sun at the palace of Ocean" and that is the EXACT SAME THING!
[Mind you to limit the gods to being JUST allegories is also a mistake not to make. Greek deities are much more than just X concept or X idea... But one part of the myths will always be, down the line, some weather metaphor or some natural cycle motif]
