Cat And Mouse

just saw a post where someone calls Amaterasu “deviation from the usual solar/lunar gender roles” and i’m morbidly curious where do people even get the idea that there’s some transcendent universal idea that moon is female and sun is male since it’s virtually impossible to muster arguments in its favor Arguably the highest profile lunar deity in history of the world, Nanna-Suen was male. Not even the notion that gender of sun and moon deities will inevitably differ from each other within one culture rings true in any capacity, since ex. in ancient Egypt both sun (Ra et al.) and moon (Khonsu, Yah, Thoth) were generally male, same goes for Mesopotamia (Nanna-Suen, Shamash) or for contemporary hinduism (Chandra, Surya)… And the fact that Ugaritic Shapash is female even though Akkadian Shamash is male shows that even within one cultural sphere the gender of celestial bodies is hardly something defined on the deepest most primal level. On top of that female solar deity is hardly an outlier, Hittites had more than one including one residing in the underworld.

There are so many different Amazons (I am very sorry Wikipedia).

(I am not entirely sure what "vinaceous" means, was not in the dictionary. But I think it means "wine-colored".)

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 (2005)

My boy magolor for the ask thing

deceptive wizard time

favorite thing about them - ngl, his personality is a joy. even when he's a huge jerk, he's incredibly entertaining, one of the best written characters in the entire series

least favorite thing about them - id like him to like. actually play a Role in his re-appearances instead of having pointless cameos because he's popular. c'mon hal, you literally brought him back from the dead, use him.

favorite line - "You are such a cool dude!"

brOTP - uh. Well it's canonical fact that he really wants to be friends with Kirby, so let's go with that. I imagine he at least used to be buddies with Marx at some point.

OTP - Marxochilly gang ngl

nOTP - idk honestly? though people that ship him with kirby make me feel uncomfortable

random headcanon - the reason he returned to popstar specifically is that despite him having questionable moral compass, he STARTED to genuinely feel companionship with kirby, dedede, meta knight and bandana dee and wanted to make amends. like his star allies guest star description says, he wants to be friends... and conquer the universe together. he might be shady, but he's hungry for positive social interaction.

unpopular opinion - while i'm all for magolor redemption, people woobify him a bit too much a bit too often. like he did some genuinely shitty things in the past, he literally tried to conquer the universe, he backstabbed people that genuinely trusted him. he should be held accountable because his current attempts at making amends were not the greatest. (gifting theme park is not a redemption)

song i associate with them - "under my control"

favorite picture of them -

THE SECRET IS OUT

Kirby and King Dedede

are friends
