Ok, so I know it's not my usual fair, but I just got my Hestia statue for my Altar, and I'm really really happy 😁 she actually came in, I think, a little earlier than expected, which is great 👍
For reference, this is what my Altar now looks like!
So, the statue is pretty obvious, it's definitely the only statue there so far, and it's in praise of Hestia, goddess of the Hearth. Also for Hestia is the big ass painting(made by one of my absolute best friends in the world who is unfortunately not on this app but made it for my birthday 'cause she's awesome like that!!!), and then a couple of basily, minty smells for the wax melter. I also have a more official altar for Hestia that sits on the mantle piece; it's a little mini forest candleholder thing that I made a while ago with a candle that really just reminds me of Her.
The car is for Hermes, god of Messengers and Thieves. It's mainly there because He helps me a lot when I'm driving, and it felt fitting, but there's also a sticker with the number 4 on it(his sacred number) and four flowers that seemed like his vibe. There's also a strawberry because it's one of his sacred foods, but low-key I always forget that, even though I'm constantly eating strawberries 😂 He has some wax scents, but not too many, just because there weren't that many that spoke to me for him.
Right now, all I have for Apollo is a sun sticker with seven crows(both his sacred number and his sacred bird. Fun fact about that, when I was looking for stickers to decorate the altar with, there were exactly seven crows, and I think that's pretty cool), a few scents(mainly summery fresh ones, right now I have a honeysuckle scent that just really spoke to me.), and a ring I got from my grandmother that isn't shown.
I do have a few items such as the ring holder, the smaller painting (made by the same girl who did the big one), and the heart that just seemed to fit. I don't directly pray to any deities that find those items symbolic, but it couldn't hurt to keep them handy, right?
Anyways, I have a bracelet for Hermes coming in the mail that's supposed to come soon, so maybe I'll post that, too. Have a good day!

Not to be obnoxious, but like, I always say this! First, to get this out of the way, the only one I might argue on is Kamala, just because I'm pretty sure there have been team ups and stuff, but also because the young avengers each stand for someone who has lost something. Nate feels like he's going to lose his future, his choice. He stands for people who are shoved in a box and left to rot. Cassie is for those who have lost their tether, who need to climb away from their pain. Kate is for the people who feel like they don't have tge right to feel this way, who feel wrong about their pain. Eli stands for those wronged by rascism, and Kamala could fit there, because unfortunately there are people who ignore that rascism is a lot more than just being mean to black people. Billy and Teddy are those who feel like who they love is wrong, and personally I feel like tommy represents people with mental health struggles that most overlook, such as ADHD. Even Vision 2.0, he represents the people living in a shadow, expected to be someone/thing they're not. They're also teenagers. They're YOUNG. They were there to remind everyone that we struggle too, that pain can take many forms and to believe in the kids. Yelena is a fully grown adult. Peter, while he starts at 17, is about a good 5-7 years older than the original team when they first start out. I don't know enough about Harley to point anything specific out, but riri, she's part of her own group, doing their own thing to help young readers feel comfortable. Let different teams be different and let each hero be one in their own respective right. Everything these characters do shapes us, but we need to respect where they fit in, and what the catagories we want them to fill actually mean and do for the people who read these and connect, who find a little bit of themselves on those pages. Billy eas the first Jewish Queer character I had seen, and i felt seen. And when I first read Ms. Marvel, I saw a young girl about my age struggling with the same mental health struggles and persevering. These characters are special each in their own right, don't take that away by doing the very thing all of them fight against, don't stick them in a box they don't fit in. Let them thrive, and let them stay special ♥️
MCU Young Avengers blogs are why I'm heterophobic actually
I'm both lol 😭

i had to
When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes!! I need to see this
why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees
Why are straight men the gayest people in existence?? Like, I know people have said this before, but like. It's so fucking funny
This would be absolutely the best way they could play this!!! It would be amazing!!
It’s season 3 of the PJO show AKA The Titans Curse. Percy (Walker) is sitting in front of Aphordite Goddess of Love and Beauty who just so happens to look like an older version of his best friend Annabeth (Leah) totally unrelated we’re sure.
Then he blinks and the beautiful woman in front of him changes….now she has brown hair and blue eyes she smiles, its Alexandria Daddario movie Annabeth. Just a split second cameo and then she’s gone.
Now a different woman is sitting in front of Percy, a woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes Kristen Stokes Lightning Thief Musical Annabeth. She shifts and changes again.
The final and last woman we see before Percy has curly blonde hair, tanned skin, and stormy grey eyes it’s book Annabeth.
Percy doesn’t realise it but we do. The Goddess of love shows him every version of the girl he loves from every universe he loves her in. It’s beautiful, it’s cinema, it needs to happen.
