"your Religion Is Evil!!!!"

I was wondering if hero worship (like worshipping Odysseus and Penelope etc) is any different from deity worship.

If so could you explain it a little for me? I’m really interested in worshipping Odysseus specifically and already worship a few Olympians. Tysm <3

Of course! So as always if anyone else has anything to add or any differing opinions, please do add on!

I have answered a similar ask before, also with some stuff about Odysseus, so here is that post. I think it would be helpful. I don’t think I articulated the role mode point very well but I also don’t know how to re-word it so we’ll just have to live with that.

I think the thing I see the most often in hero worship is that it’s really important to treat them like humans. You still have to be respectful towards them like with deities, but you can relax. I personally feel at this current time that my relationships with the heroes I worship feel more ‘casual’. Things that you might not say to deity, you could say to a hero (as long as you’re not insulting them or anything). Like I wouldn’t really call any of my deities my friends, but I do feel like my relationship with Helen is a friendship. That might not be true for everyone though! I think a lot of people do feel comfortable calling deities their friends, but still.

I guess on that note another thing to remember is that it looks different for everyone, so whatever feels right to you, do that.

Take this part with a grain of salt because I think other people would likely disagree and I don’t think this is historically accurate, but I pray differently to heroes than to deities. I don’t really ask things of heroes in my prayers? They’re not gods so I don’t believe they have the divine power to actually grant me things. Instead, I pray to heroes for inspiration from them with something that relates to their myths. So for example, a prayer I have to Odysseus asks him to remind me that my long-distance friends love me and to help me remember that I will see them again. Whereas if I was praying to Aphrodite, I would ask Her to give me an opportunity to meet up with or call that friend again. It’s different. I hope that makes sense? I guess a simpler way to put it is that I ask deities for concrete/physical things whereas I ask heroes to help with my mindset. I guess? It’s complicated. I’m really not great at articulating this stuff, but I hope that helps!

Reality Is Not Solid. You Are Not Stuck.

You are not trapped in your current reality like a fly in amber. You are not carved into the universe like a name on a tombstone. Reality is not concrete. It is water—fluid, shifting, taking the shape of whatever you decide it to be. So stop acting like you're stuck.

ʚ Why Reality Bends to You ɞ

Physics already agrees: what you see is not what is. Matter is mostly empty space. Your hand never actually touches a surface—the electrons repel each other before they ever collide. The world feels solid because your mind tells you it is.

You are already shaping reality at all times, effortlessly. You are the painter, the architect, the scriptwriter. But you’ve been tricked into thinking you’re just an actor in a set reality, following a script someone else wrote. Throw that script out.

ʚ The Grand Illusion of "Stuck" ɞ

Your current reality is just a collection of assumptions that have hardened into habit. That’s it. The moment you stop assuming, it starts crumbling. You are not "stuck"—you’re just replaying the same radio station because you forgot the dial turns. Shifting is just changing the station.

Stop waiting for the universe to "let" you. Stop hesitating like you need permission. You wouldn’t wait for approval to blink, would you? You wouldn’t beg the universe to allow you to breathe. This is no different. You want to shift? Then shift.

ʚ Time Does Not Exist the Way You Think ɞ

Clocks tick. Calendars flip. But time itself? It's a suggestion. A concept. A trick of the brain.

Quantum physics has already disproved linear time. Particles don’t follow time—they ignore it completely. They move backward, forward, exist in multiple places at once. If the universe itself refuses to obey time, why are you letting it chain you down?

You are not shifting "later." You are not "on your way." You are shifting now. Time is just an illusion you’ve agreed to. Stop agreeing.

ʚ Drop the Effort. Step Through. ɞ

Stop making shifting feel like climbing a mountain barefoot. You are not "breaking in" to another reality. You are not prying open a door with your fingernails. You are stepping through.

Your thoughts create. Your beliefs sustain. Your attention fuels. That’s the formula. That’s all shifting is.

Believe it’s easy. Assume it’s now. Live like it’s done. That’s it. That’s all.

Reality has never been solid. You are not trapped. Shift as easily as you breathe.

SITUATION(S) DO NOT MATTER TO SHIFT

THE LOCATION YOU SHIFT IN DOESNT MATTER

the location you shift in DOES NOT MATTER you can shift on the toilet, in bed, on the bus, in the shower, etc. anywhere that you can stand, sit, or lay down you CAN shift in.

THE SOUNDS DONT MATTER

those dogs barking, water running, people talking, random noises. don’t matter in the slightest, you can shift within a second so what does it matter?

THE PHYSICAL FEELING DOES NOT MATTER

the type of bed sheets you have do not matter, your skin / limbs touching don’t matter, the chair your in doesn’t matter. nothing matters.

ONLY YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF SHIFT NOTHING ELSE

Timebomb, a story in three parts (beware of Arcane SPOILERS) 🍃.

Not me getting absolutely obsessed with Ekko and Jinx and their storyline⏳💣. I must confess I wasn't expecting to be so involved with them, but here I am waiting patiently.

I can't wait to see what may happen in the future... I surely don't think it's the end...

arcane act 3 spoilers

my (depressing) headcannon is that sevika wouldn’t react after finding out about isha and jinx’s death.

she keeps on working through as zaun’s representative on piltover’s council and navigates her days like any other. like nothing’s wrong.

until like a week afterwards where the most minor inconvenience happens at her place— could be she drops her plate of food or there’s a loose screw in her mechanical arm. and it causes her to break down into heavy sobs alone in the middle of her living room.

Made an arcane fan animation hehe
