We have GOT to pick a better name for our galaxy than the Milky Way, if aliens ever come from the Andromeda Galaxy they're gonna think it's a horny thing

sorry but you’re gonna have to rename the entire concept of a galaxy if u wanna fix this problem

>discover humans

>they classify gravitational wells with a large number of stars as milk

>they call their own region of space a particularly milky milk place

>when they're born they need milk or milk substitutes to survive

>name their whole taxonomic class of animals after glands that produce milk

>whole entire industries dedicated to the production of milk

>leaves

Actually there’s a pretty cool reason for this! There’s this Greek myth where Heracles is taken as a baby to Hera by Athena, because he needs milk and his mother is for various reasons unavailable. Hera agreed to breastfeed him, but when he detached from her nipple a spray of milk went everywhere in the sky, creating the band of stars we call the Milky Way.

It must be super awkward if a Kelpie tries to drown a person wearing a weird coat then they get deep into the water and they have turned into a seal

Selkies actually uses them for transportation. Anyone that’s not a sea creature that gets on the kelpie backs end up drowning since kelpies automatically go into the water regardless of their riders ability to breath underwater.

Stories about Frederick's outfits in CPC

Frederick, the youngest Plaid Prince with the green color motif. The one that had outfits mostly in green color as well, with the exception is his academy era where he wear blue uniform with white tie. This post gonna entertwined some CPC story points regarding Frederick's outfits. For the starter of the everything, let's talk about his trademark Green Plaid Jacket (I have a theory about how the color of his jacket becomes murkier the more he knows about the engagement)

First we have standard male undergament outfit in the CPC universe, a pair of grey trousers and a pair of black boots in monochromatic style. His color is green, and motif of Plaid as part of Plaid Kingdom. His jacket like his brothers as have a pair of golden shoulder pads and a golden trim going down the collarbone part, with a three straps of golden cover with huge black buttons. The inner white shirts of the Plaid Princes modeled to each ones' character (Lance's carefree, Blaine's fancy)- which for Frederick he buttons up to his neck, making him distinct from his brothers, who leave their collars open. There's only some occasions where his collar opened, and all of those events is related to Gwendolyn in someway (discussed in later part of this post). The inner white shirt of him is a simple one with 3 white buttons, that the top is open

^ Second, we'll go from this comment from the webtoon - exactly from episode 146 when talking about how Frederick and Whitney now are like blank canvas and not related to their respected kingdoms. Here the most interesting part imho but also the longest, I do rereading and - voila?

I do rereading and realizes that all of intimate moments of gwenderick had him not wearing Plaid jacket 'properly'.. The comment from Sage person is very pretty close, most are having his jacket displace in some way - some where he opening it like to taking out his lucky charm the newt eyeball - while some didn't have him to wearing the trademark plaid jacket at all like wearing Jamie's change outfit, gala outfit etc

2nd middle part and the center of the post

The last part, gonna be entertwined with another theory 0.0

Frederick = the tiniest prince = little prince

Let's see that webtoon comment image back, one conclusion that I find very interesting that will related to Little Prince :

"In order to create closer and healhtly relationship with Princess Gwendolyn - Frederick needs to distance himself to being a Plaid Prince, and as long as he still keep the idealism (along with toxicities) of the Plaid kingdom he can't reaches Gwen. Gwen needs to see for who he actually is, and Frederick should become who he actually is - the true him"

This, goes hard with the epilogue part of the Little Prince.. Because the story ends with Little Prince looks like he's dying as he get bitten by the snake (and in the CPC, this refers to the Giant Serpent - that keep recurring in Frederick's dreams) so he could returns to his home where his lover the rose there

this means, in order for Frederick could 'return to his lover' = 'reaches Gwen' - he needs to be bitten by the Giant Serpent

The bite (be it literal or metaphorical), will make the little prince looks like he is dying - with several interpretations of little prince even thinks that scene as the prince attempting suicide. The CPC never show explicit suicide attempts BUT implicit scenes happened, with the recent example from Frederick himself that dares 'hissing' Blaine to kill him (ep158). I feel the incoming foreshadowings of some ugly dark scenes in the future that will happen, as Frederick doing something similar to what he dares to Blaine but now to the real Giant Serpent - but it seems won't ends well.

[ Here my further analysis about TGS, which likely Leland ]

So.. Frederick will and need to 'die' like the little prince then?

Me and @meritre24601 hoping for different take as seen the death not be literally as passed on from the real world but metaphorically. That's already happened canonically during the CPC intruder arc as the one that die isn't Renée but the bad parts of the CPC - with Nell's explanation...

This mean the metaphorically death. Frederick as the Plaid Prince is the one that die as bitten by TGS - but right after that he rebirth as simply "Frederick". Rebirth and transformation are good symbolism of snake/serpent that @saemi-the-dreamer wrote. As he indeed 'die' but got rebirth for new transformation of his life, where he's showing the true him that shown cleverly by LambCat in throughout series from his outfit, he could finally reaches Gwen - the happy ending of their reunion that we are hopes ;-;

This is a visualization of a Japanese proverb, which means to experience a stroke of luck!

Because a duck coming to you with onions tied to its back is like a soup ready to be made delivering itself to you! What luck! A duck comes bearing onions!

That proverb is also where Farfetch'd comes from.

That explains it!

We all love urban fantasy but we have to contend with the fact that if monsters were real, some of them would be normies. Your werewolf boyfriend posts on LinkedIn. The tentacled horror you've been thirsting after is a Disney adult.

You did it, you made unimaginable horror within man-made comprehension.

Started reading The Last Unicorn (can’t believe it took me so long to get around to it), and it made me wanna sketch my unicorn character, Iphigenia~

A concept: mermaids in wheelchairs

Another: shapeshifters with stretch marks

Religious vampires trying to find ways to balance their ideologies with their needs

Sirens learning sign language so they can communicate without enchanting anyone

Disabled fairies who can’t fly pushing for accessibility

Spirits helping save people from fires and other natural disasters because they can access areas too dangerous for the living

Dragons becoming foster parents and providing super safe homes for “hordes” of children until they grow up

Female werewolves with facial hair and body hair not letting anyone make them feel bad about it

Fae snatching children from abusive homes and raising them in safety while the changeling wreaks havoc

Liberated genies using their power to fight for human rights

Witchy cooking shows where witches try to make specific potions or find creative magical solutions to problems

Psychic psychologists and medical doctors who are able to figure out exactly how to help even if their patient is non-verbal, young, or afraid of being honest because they’re with an abuser

Psychic teachers knowing just what to do to help students with learning disabilities

Yes please. 

I just slammed the reblog button so hard my phone broke.

Hell hound service animals

Heck to the yes for them all

Who else wants to write all of these?

How about merpeople who use swimming jets/scooters to get around underwater because their tail fins are unable to help them swim

One possible explanation for the pomegranate tying Persephone to the underworld has to do with Ancient Greek Marriage ceremonies.

At the end of the wedding there was a procession between the bride’s old house and her husband’s house. Sometimes by foot, sometimes on a chariot. Oftentimes the groom would drag the bride back to his house by her wrist, performing a ritual kidnapping of sorts.

When the bride reached her new home with her husband she would be offered a fruit. What kind and the general purpose of this part of the ceremony is inconsistent. But the bride taking a bite out of the fruit generally signified her acceptance of her new family and completed the wedding ceremony.

So why does the pomegranate tie Persephone to the underworld? We’ll never know for sure, but it’s possible that she didn’t accept fruit from him at first because she knew that would complete the marriage ceremony. So her eating the pomegranate, whether on purpose or because she was tricked, completes the ceremony and seals her to Hades’ household, making them officially married.

Did Persephone eat the pomegranate willingly? Idk make up your own mind on that one.

Think of eating the fruit as equivalent to kissing the bride. Seals off the union. A public signal that both parties have committed to this for real and the wedding is over now.

I don't remember where the excerpt was from and I don't care to explain where I read it (I'm in the bathroom of a nightclub) but I remember reading a novel where Saint Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, got the miracle of getting pregnant by eating a single pomegranate seed. She was told not to bite down on it, since it was a human soul. Ever since, I have thought of Persephone's pomegranate as symbolic for having her marriage to Hades consummated. Dunno if the author was also inspired by Persephone's myth or if there was existing symbolism there.

Katharine Hepburn as Amazon warrior princess Antiope & Colin Keith-Johnston as Theseus in stage production of The Warrior’s Husband (1932) (Corbis)

ok. ok

all right I’ll allow it

Okay so some fun and interesting tidbits of info that @queer-taako gave me a while back regarding Katherine Hepburn: she may have possibly been either nonbinary or transmasc. She had a male persona, and gay men (as in exclusively gay men, men who only had sex with and were attracted to other men) had sex with her. They viewed her as just as much a man as any of them. In fact, the only reason I’m still using “her” and not “him”/“them” is because it was never confirmed (and let’s be real, it could have been very dangerous for her back then). But that information is out there.

This is a pretty good article going into detail about Hepburn’s identity as well as how the era sort of impacted her experience. She described herself later in life as “the missing link between genders” and even as a child, had a secret name for herself which she preferred to be called among friends (Jimmy) and the information she gave about her childhood like not getting why everyone seemed to treat her like a girl, not wanting anything to do with feminine things, having a secret name, at the very least resonates with gnc and butch women, trans men and nonbinary people.

We have no way of knowing what she really was, and we cant really ascribe an identity to her, but she had relationships with men and women and wanted pretty much nothing to do with womanhood in her private life. Being non straight and/or not cis in Hollywood, especially back then, was such a minefield to navigate, and there was virtually no language to express yourself if your identity was anything other than gay or straight cis person, and even the term ‘lesbian’ wasnt used as often as youd think.

I did not know this.
