I love the fact that, in real life, you can tell when I get excited because I do this thing with my hand that makes my bracelet jingle.

He is blind. He swindled Apollo. She is a woman, he is a man, he has given birth to children. Aphrodite turned him into a mouse. He prophesized about Narcissus's fate. She was a priestess of Hera. He was this close to telling Oedipus he was sleeping with his mom. He is Hera and Zeus's marriage counselor. He saw Athena naked. He changes genders like they're clothes. Apollo killed him in one of the most bizarre hits in the mythos. He is the prophet with the answers you seek. Tiresias you will always be famous.

I wish at the part in Death Note where L and Light have their tennis match and the teacher wants them to join the tennis team that he successfully convinced them and the whole story just abruptly pivoted to a sports manga

I just slammed my wrist in a barn door while I gave the horses hay. I have bruises on both sides of it now.

The Olive Tree

I think it was really fitting for Odysseus and Penelope to have met at that specific type of tree for multiple reasons.

Olive trees are meant to symbolize longevity, rebirth, endurance, and peace as well as being a sacred symbol of Athena. All of those qualities fit with the pair. Longevity and endurance because of how their love never faded despite all the years apart. Odysseus comes back to Ithaca after all the tragedies had changed him, something that you could argue is a rebirth of sorts.

Peace was the hardest one to think of but I settled on it being symbolic of the peace that is now in the palace without the suitors. Apart, there had been over a hundred men threatening Penelope and Telemachus and disrespecting their hosts’ home. With Odysseus returning, there is no longer that danger that had been lurking and peace is restored to the halls. The Athena part is pretty self-explanatory.

I completely missed this but I'm so glad I found it

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

Why Telemachus Wasn’t Trained to Fight

Learning how to be a warrior was typically a fairly important part of an Ancient Greek prince’s education. That would likely be the case in Ithaca too as we can see with Odysseus even as a boy. No untrained child would have been able to defeat Athena’s boar so he clearly was taught to fight. So why was Telemachus not given the same? There’s perfectly able guards so it wouldn’t be from a lack of people to teach him.

Then I started thinking about how much more threatened by his presence the suitors would be if Telemachus could hold his own in combat. His mere existence is already a claim to the throne but they see him as unfit and too soft for the crown. They might not have waited so long to try to get rid of him if that perception didn’t hold. So Penelope might have intentionally withheld that part of his studies to make him seem less dangerous to the suitors.

No one would have thought twice about pushing around someone they knew could take it no matter their age, but the way that Telemachus says that they’re “getting” dangerous in ‘Legendary’ implies that it’s a new development. Sure, they could just be tired of waiting (which certainly still plays a part) but fighting an untrained twenty year old sounds much better than fighting an untrained fourteen year old.

Ninjago au where the serpentine still see lloyd as an annoying little brat but also recognize he’s still just a kid and that given the chance Pythor would absolutely eat him alive so the rest of the season is the ninja and the snake generals trying to protect Lloyd from Pythor and shenanigans ensue

Also the serpentine and the ninja refuse to communicate so they both think that the other is out to hurt lloyd/put him back into Darkley’s boarding school.

Morro

So.. is there like a canon reason why he’s still obsessed with being the green ninja after all these years? I’ve always just assumed that it’s because he died and is now forever stuck in the mindset he had when it happened with no chance of ever growing and becoming more than he had been. But let me know if there’s an actual reason that’s been stated either in the show or by the creators.

The Elemental Dragons

Okay, so everyone knows that the elemental dragons haven’t been used for a while (Season 8 was when they stopped if I remember correctly). The usual explanation is just that the writers forgot or thought they made the ninja too powerful. But! What if the ninja can’t use them? The dragons are all about facing your insecurities and problems then accepting them, but they’ve all been earning enough trauma over the years that they aren’t able to do that anymore. It’s all been piling up until the dragons began to refuse their call.

I accidentally put body wash in my hair last night and WTH?? Why is this the softest my hair has ever been?

I am extremely honored to take part in this tradition.

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

Tumblr Code.

So I was just in the shower, thinking about lines to use for one of my WIP fics, when what will probably be my best one ever hit. “You tread a very dangerous path. Pray that you can trust the light guiding you.” And where the hell did that come from?! It doesn’t even have anything to do with the story???

So one of my friends just had someone tell them that their friend had a crush on my friend. The response? “I’m gay.” It was wonderful to witness.
