every single Angel ever deserves to be pet i think

"i would find you in any universe" but it's very clearly intended as a threat

in school I used to wear fake glasses while doing writing assignments so that the teachers would think I was smarter and grade my tests higher (this actually worked, for the record)

this kind of backfired in a pavlovian way because now I literally have to put on a pair of glasses and activate Smart Mode when I write anything longer than a few paragraphs

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction

let me open my mouth and show you my fangs and maybe then you’ll see i’m not quite human

*shaking, covered in each other's blood* i'm so glad this experience could bring us closer together

imagine going on tumblr, the weirdo website, just to hate on weirdos. its like walking into a pigeon coop and then getting mad at all the pigeons because you dont like pigeons. like my brother in christ you walked into pigeonland. you are a pigeon now

On tiktok, I kept repeating how much I hate tiktok. On tumblr, we all hate tiktok together.

Something I remember from my life as an angel, I would be taken to one of the realms of heaven, but I don’t know if it was one of the 7, or a secret 8th one or something. I would be summoned there by god to have a discussion. It was this weird, liminal paradise or space. Sometimes it would be in a desert or beach, a garden, or a river, sometimes on a mountain or cliff in what looks like ancient Greece with columns and pillars, or sometimes it would just be an all white platform with pillars in the clouds, to “mimic” a sort of heaven. There would always be some kind of lounging / seating / standing area with a view. We would talk about my duties, my progress, my relationships, where I’ve been and how things are with other angels or humans. I would be basically interrogated, it seemed like he was trying to find something out by using me and what I’ve seen around Heaven. He knew something was off, he knew someone trespassed into Heaven. He knew. And I just so happened to find that man. Well, he found me.

But, that’s another story. That’s all I want to share tonight so that way I have more to share another time. Ask questions if you have any! It’s been fun, toodles!

⚔️ A GUIDE TO ARES WORSHIP ⚔️

So you decided you wanna worship Ares. Great! It's kind of hard to find information on him right away, so I'm here to help you out with this masterpost. It may be big, but covers up just about everything you need to know for a start.

WHO IS ARES?

In hellenic polytheism, Ares is the god of war, bloodshed, courage, battlelust, civil order and rebellion. He is the patron of soldiers and personification of strength.

Ares has been shown in media and in most greek myths as a hotheaded, stupid, sadistic jock who only cares about harming others and causing chaos, but obviously, he is a lot more than that.

Ares is angry, I wouldn't dare saying anything different, but he isn't out of control or mad. Ares is one for minorities and for women, he is a passionate god that inspires us to be brave and keep fighting whenever we feel like we can't anymore.

Most of mythology does not offer an accurate depiction of Ares' character, but that's not the case with the myth of Alcippe.

To sum it up, Alcippe was one of Ares' daughters. She was being raped (in some versions, was about to be raped or generally being sexually assaulted) by Halirrhotius, a son of Poseidon. She cried out for her father, who showed up and killed her rapist. Poseidon wasn't happy with the murder of his son, so the first trial took place. Ares was considered innocent and the hill where his trial took place was named Areopagus after him.

Another time his mythology did not fail him was the myth of the amazons, warrior women who were daughters of Ares. They fought side by side on many occasions and from what I noticed, he's giddy at any mention of them.

I'd describe Ares as an amazing father, a seeker for justice and someone who will be there for you when you need it most – wether it be as the hand on your back, supporting you and urging you on or as the final push of strength you didn't know you had in you.

SACRED DAYS & FESTIVALS

As Ares is connected to Mars, his sacred weekday is Tuesday. Tuesdays are associated with action, physical activity, sexuality, the color red, passion, strength, vitality, raising motivation and anger. Perfect match, right?

Ares had few temples, but was always honoured with special rites in times of war or before battle. Unfortunately, I haven't found many resources for festivals honouring him other than one celebrated only by women and one celebrated only by men.

The one celebrated only by men occured in Geronthrai, in Lakonia. Ares' cult in this village happened yearly, when he was asked to bless those who would serve as soldiers and asked for their victory.

The second festival honored Ares Gynaikothoinas, Ares Feasted by Women. It originated in the Lakonian war, after the women of Tegea set up an ambush for the Lakedaemonians. They won the fight and celebrated by giving victory sacrifices to Ares on their own account, without the men.

I think it's important to say that while the festivals were separated by the gender binary, that doesn't mean that Ares only accepts male or female followers. Being non-binary myself, I know that's not the case, but it's not like centuries of cisgender and heteronormative historians didn't do harm... Anyways! What I mean is: Ares loves every single one of his followers, whether they're cis or not.

TAROT CARDS

The tarot cards associated with Ares are The Chariot and The Emperor.

The Emperor upright means masculinity, stability, fearless, passion, fatherhood, authority, discipline and regulation.

The Chariot upright means advancement, mastery, assertion, willpower and control.

WHY WORSHIP A GOD OF WAR?

For me, life is war.

I don't say it to sound cool or edgy or whatever may be going through your head right now. In my country, trans people have a life expectancy of 35 years.

I didn't choose for it to be like this. I didn't sign up for a war. This is just my life. I just wanted to live it. I don't want to be fighting a battle every single day I go outside, but I am.

Can you imagine that? Your life being an incessant game of tug of war? Fearing everyone that looks at you funny on the street because oh well, this might be curtains for me?

All I know is war. It may not be the ones that get written down on history books and people make movies about, but it's war. It's terrible, but it's all I know. I can't imagine how my life would be without it. Sometimes, I wonder if there's anything to me but it.

Ares understands. He makes it better. I'm not sure he knows anything but war either, but he doesn't act like that's bad. War is all consuming, and Ares knows that better than anyone. Having him with me, every step of the way, makes it easier.

I was raised with a perfect God. A God that only cared about the beautiful, the perfect, the holy. The rest was shameful and should be cast aside, hidden.

I spent a long time ashamed of myself for it. Ares frees me from this.

He wants to know the ugly, the bad thoughts, the things that hurt and make you ashamed. Ares doesn't mind getting dirty. He'll hold you, bloodied and all, even if your tears wet his clothes.

Ares knows how bad humans can get. He's seen us at our worst, so he won't shy away when you're at the bottom.

He understands that we're flawed. I don't think he minds.

He isn't looking for perfect little angels, free of sin and guilt. You can come to him with with your evil, tell him all that's bad about you, all your past mistakes, all that makes you disgusting and ashamed, and Ares won't even bat an eye. He's seen worse. He might say it's okay, if you're scared. He won't be.

Ares will know all of your flaws and shrug. He will help you with them, loves seeing his followers grow, but won't think less of you for them. If you let him stick around long enough to learn all of your qualities too, Ares will love your bad and good all the same.

what do you MEAN they FUCKING MISSED???
