Top ten moments on this site

from grammatical context I feel it is more likely anon was implying that environmental racism is when plants are bigoted, which if anything is funnier

you walk into your local gardening center and a potted monstera calls you a slur

wheat is definitely bigoted against people with celiac, but I would not call that racism, no

the idea that the wheat is doing that on purpose

Peanuts are acting out of ignorance, but wheat knows what it’s doing.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

shout out to my fave under-appreciated unbreakable transgender hero

The thing that gets me is he didn’t ASK for the impenetrable skin. Poseidon was just like “cool cool but you know what you need? skin of IRON. don’t worry bud it’s on the house”

so… Poseidon made his trans boyfriend bulletproof.  alright.

I’ve been thinking about that last thing all day and

I’m pretty sure I have a new ship…

Sharing this here because everyone seemed to really like the first one and I’m so pleased with the way my dumb drawing came out

You know what the ABSOLUTE BEST PART of this is?

Caeneus wishes for a man’s body– and Poseidon doesn’t sigh and half-ass it, doesn’t break up with him for no longer having a female form, doesn’t even simply carry out Caeneus’s wish to the letter.

No no.

My boy Poseidon decides to give his boyfriend something EVEN BETTER just because.

It’s like he couldn’t contain himself; like he couldn’t even deal with how in love with Caeneus he was.

MALE FORM? DONE. WHAT ELSE CAN I GIVE MY LITERAL FAVE? I KNOW. I KNOW. I WILL MAKE SURE NO ONE CAN EVER, EVER HARM HIM. FOR ANY REASON. I WILL KEEP HIM SAFE EVEN BEYOND THE REACH OF GODS AND TIME. I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

Okay I don’t know if we’re all looking at the same image or not but it says that Caeneus was raped by posedion. It goes on to say that the wish was to have a male form so that they couldn’t be raped again. And then Poseidon proceeds to make a joke of it by giving him impenetrable skin, so that Caeneus can’t be penetrated. This isn’t a “oh by the by I’m trans and want to be seen as man physicaly” this is “oh hey so that no one every forces themselves upon me agian I want to not have a vagina.” And if I have to explain the reason why the skin that can’t be penetrated, it’s a joke about rape y'all :/ This isn’t Percy Jackson, it’s actual Greek mythology and actual Greek mythology can be terrible.

Though I mean I do like this version that Tumblr has made, I feel like it’s important to not bury the fact that this was a rape by making the these two male lovers. Let’s have Caeneus be a trans icon separate from Posiedon if anything.

i was about to have a stroke because everyone was ignoring the RAPED BY POSEIDON part

listen, representation is good but please dont…. dont make them be lovers when it is pretty obvious poseidon was a huge piece of shit

I noticed that and was like increasingly becoming more uncomfortable as I went through the post

ok usually i don’t reblog discourse-y stuff but this is the WEIRDEST glitch i have seen on tumblr- some people are reading a post that has completely different wording than others

The wording here says “he was abducted by Poseidon, who fell in love with him.” So the implicated here is that he was first kidnapped, and afterwards Poseidon fell on love. But on mobile:

This is the version says “he was raped by Poseidon.” and that he wanted to be a man “so that he may never suffer the same thing again.”

I have no idea how this has happened. This is the same post, not edited, being viewed on the same blog, on desktop and mobile. There’s discourse going on in the notes about the fanart, but the person who made it has probably only seen the desktop version and not the mobile version. 

This is such a wild glitchy discourse, I’m honestly fascinated by this. Neither side knows what the other is talking about.

This is INCREDIBLY weird. I see different versions when I switch between app and browser, too. How would that even happen? Did the OP upload one screencap and later updated it with a different screencap, and for some reason Tumblr is disseminating both images as one?

Anyway, there’s a lot of outrage in the notes that only makes sense if you see the mobile version. On mobile it appears that people are blithely romanticizing a rape when they are in fact interacting with an innocent version of the same post… how weird.

(Note: there are a lot of versions of the same Greek myths that were often told very differently by different storytellers, so if people are free to create consensual and minimally creepy versions of Hades and Persephone, I think the same liberties should be permitted for other myths.)

Genuinely thought I was seeing the absolute worst of Tumblr before that explanation
