I’m Really In My Hawks Era Now

me too nonnie <3 

Is it so hard to some people in their late 20s or just idk dumb people in general to not belittle someone for liking something? If I cry to a song I'm cringy, if I a have a Yoongi pc on my desk I'm cringy, if a Yoongi's selfie makes me happy I'm cringy I have a life outside of bts too like they love to proclaim but I just enjoy things and like to show them and feel things is that something bad?

people who shit on others interests or others reactions to things they enjoy are genuinely the worst people ever and it says something about them not you you are allowed to find joy and do your own thing without others critiquing your every move most of the time simply for the sake of being assholes,,,keep doing u i love u and if u ever wanna yell or cry abt yoongi im here and available to listen :’-)

when you turn off the light, everything but you turns black @jjongsoft

Justin Foley-Jensen Adoption Headcanons

This was not requested, and I have requests I need to fill, but I’m feeling extra about this rn so I’m doing it

After Justin and Clay have their talk, they share the news with Clay’s parents

Lainie beams and embraces both of them

Matt just smiles and claps a hand on both of their shoulders

They ask Justin if he’d like to make their guest room his room

And he says yes

But it’s on the first floor and it’s too quiet and lonely at night

So he ends up sleeping in the upstairs hallway one night after a particularly bad nightmare

Clay wakes up early and literally trips over Justin’s head

Once Justin explains what happened, Clay just rolls his eyes, and says, “Jesus, next time just come sleep in my room. It’s not like I mind.” Then he shoves Justin good-naturedly, and says, “Listen, you fucking detoxed from heroin all over my bedroom floor. You should know by know that you can come sleep in my room whenever.”

Lainie is the one who notices Justin’s been using again

She finds his stash when she’s doing the laundry one day

When she asks him about it, he denies it, but once she shows him what she found he knows he’s busted

And then he just cries

It’s like everything that’s been building up for so long, and the shame within him for relapsing after he promised to get clean just hurts so bad

They took him in, and he feels like he doesn’t deserve it

She just hugs him for a while and rubs his back, which makes him cry harder because he never really had comfort like this from his mom (or a mother figure) before

She tells him that they’ll get him into a program for recovery from substance abuse

It slips out before he can stop it, “Thanks, Mom.”

It surprises both of them

But Lainie just smiles and kisses his forehead. “You’re welcome, honey.”

When Clay finds out that Justin is going into a program, he tells him of when he had to sign up for a substance abuse program because of the weed that was planted on him at school

He assures him that the program will be good for him

Because obviously Clay knew he was nervous

Clay and Justin seem to have an intuition for each other’s feelings 

Matt is the one who tries to get Justin back into his hobbies

He offers to shoot hoops with him, even though he’s really bad at it

He helps Justin with his homework and is always patient with him in a way Clay sometimes isn’t

They have family game nights and family movie nights

They’re always disgusting adorable and cliché

Matt never stops making dad jokes

Matt teaches Justin how to cook

Justin discovers that he really likes it

And he really likes having a family to cook for

On his adoption day, they all dress up and take lots of pictures (much to Clay’s and Justin’s dismay)

Justin decides to hyphenate his last name because as he put it, “I don’t think I want to forget my past and where I came from but…I want to commit to this family, you know? I want your last name. You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me”

It’s a very emotional moment

A big family group hug ensues, started by Clay’s mom 

They throw a big party for Justin’s adoption day with all his new relatives and friends

After people are starting to clear out, Justin and Clay are sitting on the side by themselves

Clay says, “You know, I kind of always wanted a sibling growing up. Being an only child can be kind of lonely sometimes.”

Justin just smiles and punches his arm and says, “You’re tellin’ me.”

They both just laugh

The Jensen family never felt so complete or whole

Even if they argue, they love and accept each other at the end of the day

And they make each other better people

Dating Justin Foley Would Include

sometimes you guys have lazy days where you sit in his bedroom in your underwear listening to music

random adventures

teasing clay together

clay has walked in on the both of you multiple times and he won’t look either of you in the eye for days afterwards

cuddling on the couch

matt and lainie inviting you to family game and movie nights

justin will fall asleep in minutes if you play with his hair

walking to classes together

helping his through his nightmares

it takes awhile but after you finally convince him it’s okay, he starts to call you in the middle of the night if he has a nightmare and can’t go back to sleep

sometimes if the nightmare is really bad he will show up at your house and climb through your window

cooking together

spending weekends bingeing shows and movies

helping each other with classes when one of you is struggling with it

you go on dates to rosies and study dates at monet’s

your lockscreens are of each other

neck kisses

him hugging you from behind

he gushes about you to anyone who will listen

clay eventually gets annoyed, matt and lainie think it’s adorable, zach only half listens because they’re normally playing video games and he definitely takes advantage of justin being distracted

you’re his whole world

he still flirts with you even though you’re already together

anyone:

Poseidon rapes Medusa. Rape is evil. Therefore Poseidon is not a god. Correct?

Not really.

There are many things implied with this logic. The first thing that's wrong is that it assumes ancient myth literalism.

Myth literalism is a normal thing in our society because of christianity's fundamentalism. The bible in christian traditions is read sometimes literally, and even if its not, the stories told there are of vital importance to the religion. However, this doesn't happen in all religions, specially in pagan religions.

The second thing that's wrong is that it assumes the specific context of the myth. We may have a myth that uses the element of “rape” as we understand it to mean something else. But what we today understand as “rape” in ancient Greece meant probably these two things: 1. Abduction, 2. Sexual relations without the consent of the parents.

The importance of not reading myth literally (I mean, not regarding the Gods' actions in myth as factual, or their behavior as true to their nature) is that of independence. Being able to interpret myth metaphorically helps us arrive at different conclusions regarding the true nature of the Gods, and it also influence us philosophically.

See, a God cannot make evil; Poseidon is a God; therefore, Poseidon cannot make evil (he cannot “rape” anyone). But if Poseidon cannot rape, then the actions of Poseidon in myth are 1. False, or 2. Symbolic.

If Poseidon's actions in the myth of Medusa are false, then the myth serves no purpose but to entertain. However, if Poseidon’s rape in the myth of Medusa is symbolic, then it is illustrative of the God's power: perhaps, in the temple of Athena, one could experience Poseidon's presence unwillingly.

Remember what some historians used to say about Pythia’s moment of invocation? When the Priestess got possessed by Apollo? That sometimes she would get seizures? That the possession was so powerful her body could barely bear it? I imagine this is what “rape” myths refer to; experiencing a God (specially a deity regarded as “male” traditionally, for some reason) in an overwhelming rapture, perhaps randomly, without expectation. But this is a mystical reading of the myth.

There are not just mystical readings. Doing them takes time and attention, but they're often very illuminative. However, moral readings also exist. And even natural or physical readings. For example, in a moral reading, we could say the myth’s lesson is to not have sex inside Athena's temple, because that's a holy place, and it belongs to a virginal goddess. On a physical reading, we could say that Poseidon represents the fury of the ocean, and that Medusa is perhaps the earth, getting moved and assaulted by the tides. Or anything of that nature.

Understanding those conclusions is better than reading myth literally and ending up thinking those gods are evil (and therefore are not gods, and therefore must be demons; which is indeed one of many christianity's premises regarding pagan religions. These types of premises, as you may understand, feed intolerance and supremacy).

Arriving at satisfactory and philosophical conclusions with myths is a hard task, but it's really worth it. Even in ancient times, these incorrect ideas about the gods were widespread, and it was the philosopher’s, and the priest’s, task to teach people how to actually understand myth.

So, in summary; no, Poseidon is not evil, because Poseidon is a God and therefore cannot rape; furthermore, Poseidon's myth with Medusa is symbolic of a deeper, more mystical truth.

Ultimately, the myth of Poseidon and Medusa is explicative of Athena's and Poseidon's power when it gets intertwined. Oh, and, I forgot; you can also make a historical reading about this myth, or at least how it originated. The Athenians, who first told this myth, used to be devoted to Poseidon on a city-state level, until the cult of Athena arrived, and they instead made her their patron deity, removing Poseidon (there's another myth that tells this story, in which Athena and Poseidon compete for the patronage of the city-state, and Athena wins). Often times different city-states would create infamous stories about another city’s patron god in a political attempt. There's a theory stating that in other city-states Zeus’ wife would be Dione, instead of Hera, but in Athens it was Hera, and so some athenian would find it funny to imagine the god cheating over Hera (as a silly explanation of why theogony differed accross Greece).

Often times, myths are incredibly ironical. Like all of Zeus’ myths cheating over Hera as I stated before; Hera is the Goddess of marriage, so it is laughable that her own husband would go around cheating on her with literally anyone. So it is clear here that the myth is implying something deeper than what's is being told. One might have to think and reflect on why the greeks would choose to portray their Goddess of marriage in such a light, and their God of morality too. Perhaps they were hinting at something bigger with the use of hyperbole and irony; Hera never cheats on Zeus. On the other hand, Zeus is the Big Papa. So basically the whole world is of his descendence, because he is the Father of humanity, and putting it that way the greeks were explaining this.

Conflicting things about myths have always been conflicting. The greeks didn't like their gods going around raping people and killing others in those stories either, but the stories existed nevertheless. So they wrote a whole ton of treatises trying to explain to themselves the deeper truths of those myths, one of them was On the Gods and the World by Sallustius, which I recommend a lot when trying to understand both the importance and the metaphorical narratives of myths.

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

I have a VERY hot take for you all:

Straight people should never be regarded as LGBT icons.

Beyonce, Ariana, Taylor Swift, ect…. They’re not gay icons. They’re not gay. They shouldn’t be regarded as gay/lesbian/bi icons.

If their music resonates with you and you’re lgbt- cool idrc. But I hate that, like… they’re regarded as The Best Gay Icons when they’re not gay.

Lady Gaga? Actually a gay/bi icon. Janelle Monae, Freddie Mercury, ect. They’re LGBT icons.

Shut the fuck up about Ariana and Taylor Swift being gay icons.

ok i might as well do this since im kinda starting over on a new (side) blog but. could u guys give me a lil boost? im gonna keep posting my kpop content on @cherriki and i make gifs . sometimes. usually. anyway i ult enhypen and txt <3
