Respectfully, I don’t understand why they keep writing Dionysus as this clean ass party drunk… well yes he is but he’s ALSO a freak. A murderous freak. Don’t take that away from him!
No lies detected, this is the truth. I don't get it either. He's so cool and freaky, his stories are absolutely wild and yet they're never adapted 😭
Dionysus being a stupid drunkard or a pacifistic pushover is the death of me, istg.
The pacifistic pushover agenda especially, there are a lot of pacifist deities to choose from, why do it with the god who can literally make families kill each other at his whims?
You know the correct notion of not judging Zeus/Hera without reading the Wooden Bride Myth? Don’t write Dionysus without reading the Bacchae.
I usually hate reading quizzes, but we should make a new rule : the writer of an official adaptation about Dionysus should be able to ace a reading quiz about the Bacchae. At least 80/100 imo. Like a "Driving license" for Dionysus if you will 🤣.
Not obligatorily super complicated analytical stuff, just basic questions like "what kind of duality does Dionysus represent in the Bacchae" or "why and how did he punish Pentheus". Or heck even "who is Pentheus" at that point 😅. Just so I know they've read it.
And if they say the duality is between alcohol and parties, then it's an automatic 0/100 😂
(Same for everyone else. Achilles and the Iliad, Andromache and her play, Odysseus and the Odyssey NO THE TELEGONY DOESN'T COUNT, Apollo and actual stories about him instead of Lore Olympus, etc...)

Take these pose studies of Odysseus and Penelope while I gather will to draw another comic LMAO
Fighting art block right now, and the only way I know how to attack it back is by going back to my fundamentals and practicing ToT

yesss!! Ned and Cat come the closet to resembling Hera and Zeus’s dynamic and I’m speaking on behalf of the book more than the show. (Although the shows version is very cute) Cat serves as Ned unofficial advisor and he entrusts her to run Winterfell while he’s away. Which Zeus would 100% do with Hera. They also both have the bastard haunting their marriage and have very lovely sex. 🤭
also Ned built Cat a sept and that’s sooo sweet and something that Zeus would do
Zeus and Hera are the cutest and no one can change my mind.
you are spot on, anon :D
Plus the struggle Ned (based on the show) has with duty, and its conflict with his marriage, is very similar to Zeus' role as Father of Gods and Men conflicting with his role as Hera's husband. Despite their marital strife, both men make compromises and love their wives deeply. Catelyn and Hera are prone to disobey their husbands but end up always in their good graces because with their husbands they are too lovable to be mad at for long

Your relationship with religion and spirituality are personal things, and the same goes for others. Your experiences will vary from others, and their experiences will vary from yours. It's difficult to give and receive exact advice because of this sometimes, and something that needs to be emphasized more is being ok with the fact that you may not ever have all the answers you need. You may not ever have the advice you're looking for. You may have to try things entirely on your own, without any guidance, and it may result in trial and error. You WILL have to discover some things for yourself. There is not a direct answer that can be given to you for every question, and it's extremely important that we're all aware of this fact.

Just noticed this tiny parallel regarding Helen’s looks in Euripides Helen
Teucer when faced with a stranger with Helen’s face immediately becomes negative, even the mere resemblance to Helen sets him back to the war and inadvertently insulting the woman in front of him.
It makes sense: He’s the stand in for the Greek soldier who blames Helen (and specifically her beauty) for causing the war.
(His haterism is so so funny if it wasn’t for the expense of Helen’s mental state)
Comparing to Menelaus who after the shock of seeing a stranger with Helen’s face, said stranger claiming to be his long lost wife when his “real” wife was in a cave, almost leaving said stranger, still had this to say:
“You have my blessing for your resemblance to Helen.”
Menelaus, telling a complete stranger who shares the face that launched a thousand ships, the stranger he cannot believe, a farewell because she looked like Helen. Not that murderous creature, not disaster’s architect. Helen.
Because even if she was not Helen, she still looked like the woman he loved. His soldiers could do it, but he can never really scorn the face of his beloved wife.
