There is something bright, something soft, something warm about your very name; as if only uttering it makes the sun shine through. There is certainty in your wake, your gentle presence, your loving touch. You are molten gold and sunlit dripping honey; you are sweetness of oranges and steady smoke flow of burning cedarwood. You are encompassing, and all-embracing, and you are in all around for your music is heard in everything; and there is joy of your dance in each blow of warmth-filled wind. You are the sun, and there is nothing but love in your golden gaze. Shine on, o’ most beloved.

Basic Cognitive Functions Guide

As an MBTI enthusiast, I like making little guides and notes to help me visualize and process information, so here ya go!

Two Attitudes

Extroverted (E): Functions oriented towards the real world—views things as is without personal alignment and filtering. "Breadth."

Introverted (I): Functions oriented towards the subject's world—views things through personal alignment and filtering. "Depth."

Two Categories

*Judging

Judging Function (Jx): Reason—a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event—used to judge and decide.

Extraverted Judging (Je): Reasoning based on external effects. Looks at what should be.

Introverted Judging (Ji): Reasoning based on internal alignment. Looks at personalized principles.

*Perceiving

Perceiving Function (Px): Processes used in gathering or filtering information.

Extraverted Perceiving (Pe): Perceiving based on external exploration. Unfiltered gathering of information.

Introverted Perceiving (Pi): Perceiving based on internal narrowing down. Filtering information. 

Four Aspects

*Inter/personal ("emotional"): Human-based matters. *Impersonal ("logical"): Nonhuman-based matters.

Feeling Functions (Fx): Judgment metrics oriented towards people and inter/personal matters. Emotional reasoning.

Thinking Functions (Tx): Judgment metrics oriented towards things and impersonal matters. Logical reasoning.

Intuition Functions (Nx): Perceiving processes oriented towards intangible information. Abstract perception.

Sensing Functions (Sx): Perceiving processes oriented towards tangible information. Concrete perception.

Eight Cognitive Functions (putting it all together)

*Judging Functions:

Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Reasoning based on external inter/personal effects—emotional consequences. "What should be valued."

Extraverted Thinking (Te): Reasoning based on external impersonal effects—logical consequences. "What should work."

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Reasoning based on internal inter/personal alignment—emotional particularities. "What feels right to me."

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Reasoning based on internal impersonal alignment—logical particularities. "What makes sense to me."

*Perceiving Functions

Extraverted Sensing (Se): Perceiving based on external concrete exploration—unfiltered gathering of tangible information. "What is."

Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Perceiving based on external abstract exploration—unfiltered gathering of intangible information. "What if."

Introverted Sensing (Si): Perceiving based on internal concrete narrowing down—filtering tangible information. "What has been."

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Perceiving based on internal abstract narrowing down—filtering intangible information. "What will be."

Young Odysseus introduces his son to the goddess Athena

(Alternative title: Telemachus meets his fairy Godmother)

Creator’s note:

Does this picture look blurry to you? Like even if you click on the image to enlarge it? I don’t know why but I can’t seem to get tumblr to show the full resolution image. I worked hard to make faces that actually look like faces for once but now they’re just blurry blobs 😭. Anybody know how to fix? EDIT: thank you all for the feedback! I’m glad it is not blurry for you!

Straightway, great Phoebus, the goddesses washed you purely and cleanly with sweet water, and swathed you in a white garment of fine texture, new-woven, and fastened a golden band about you. - Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo

Still reading the Odyssey. How have I never seen anyone bring up a headcanon that Odysseus becomes scared shitless of the ocean after finally coming home to Ithaca? I'm talking mental-breakdown inducing phobia.

The man has spent TEN YEARS lost at sea. Each time he reached land, Poseidon was here to try to drown him. His twelve ships with six hundred men sunk. And later on, when Alcinoos' men sailed him back to Ithaca, Poseidon sunk that ship too. It just never ends. Odysseus has seen hundreds of men, friends, die at sea, he's been whipped by waves, choked by salt, he faced Charybdis on his own, nearly drowned more times than he can count, all of this to finally reach home knowing his journey has drowned hundreds of innocent people.

I'm telling you he'd never heal from that shit. After he finally reclaims the throne of Ithaca, maybe Telemachus mentions that some of his father's old friends are still waiting for news of him, that Nestor has no idea he managed to go home and that Menelaus weeps whenever he thinks of him.

So Odysseus agrees to follow his son to Pylos and Sparta, having to sail across the sea once again, and although the trip goes smoothly it's a living nightmare for Odysseus. The moment the ship departs, he prays Poseidon with all his might, begging him to spare his son. He can't stop puking and crying, choking on his own erratic breath, hallucinating and going paranoid. For a few days Telemachus really thinks he's fallen ill. The trip back is just as terrible and Telemachus has no idea how to comfort his father or to make him understand that the seas are safe for him now, as well as for all the people who travel with him.

Yet another reason why Odysseus needs to spend the rest of his life in a Penelope/Diomedes sandwich hug, I rest my case.

Is there any lore behind Furina’s ousia and pneuma outfits? I genuinely can’t find anything and am wondering if I’m missing something obvious
