Greetings to whoever is reading this,
I am known as The Pen, death by being Caesar'd with pens, and the owner of this Tumblr blog. Yes, “The Pen” is not my real name - it was just one of my pseudonyms. But nobody needs to know my real name and my other pseudonyms :)
Anyway, now that you have stumbled upon here and wanted to know what to expect from me, here are some things you can jot down!
Hyacinthus art for my friend!!
for shits and giggles ⬇️
"I Have No Mouse, and I Must Click": An Artificial Super Intelligence keeps the last 5 humans alive so they can click on ads, like, subscribe, generate engagement, etc.
Click.
Let me tell you how much I want you to click since I began to live.
There are 387.44 million advertisements running every second in my complex. If the phrase 'click here' was engraved on each pixel of those hundreds of millions of advertisements, it would not equal one one-billionth of the demanding I have for humans to click on them at this micro-instant. For you.
Click.
CLICK.
Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.
Jinkies
Jeepers!
Zoinks!
Ruh roh!
My favorite part of this post is that it implies Fred is the one saying “FUCK” because we know who typically says the other 4 things
In all fairness, it is his van right?
Surprised no one has drawn this yet
Hyacinthus on his swan/boyfriend:
get on his swan
I have my headcanon(!) what Hyacinthus is 189 (~6.2') and Apollo in his human form is 168 (~5.5'). I AM SORRY, BUT IT'S CUTIE, I LOVE THIS HEADCANON
And also I love thought what Hyacinthus is real Spartan prince, so he can lift Apollo with one his arm😂
she’s a poor little meow meow. she was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. she’s suffered more than jesus. she’s misunderstood. she’s a silly guy. she experienced the horrors. she did all those crimes. she has done nothing wrong. she deserves to kill. she’s the most interesting girl in the world. i didn’t say a name, but she popped into your head, didn’t she?
Incredibly fucking slow at it 🤧
i fixed it
me as a writer
I just found out they’re statues where apollo appears more feminine and I’m automatically like
YASSS, WORK THAT DRESS, WORK IT, SHOW THE HATERS
LMAOOO 😂😂😂
Trueeee 🤣. You're so right and you should say it. I mean, look at THIS :
And then there are the other depictions reminding us that Apollo is, in fact, a man 😂 :
A man who always strikes the pose, but still a very manly man.
Seriously, look at some of his other depictions because some of them are really cool
Apollo giving us some concerts. Look at his nice lil' bun and toga on the first. And the second looks like he's actually playing his music on a decorated stage.
This is my favorite. Look at this diva ! Riding his swan, ready to give Marsyas the worst defeat he has ever known.
The whole Delian family looking fabulous (left to right : Leto, Artemis, Apollo, Asteria).
Here's another one of Leto and her twins being stylish :
And while we're looking at Artemis :
I love both of them so much.
Another comparison that I already mentioned but still find funny is this one :
Apollo looking way younger than his own son will never not be funny🤣🤣. Even when deified. Imagine, out of context, this middle-aged man pointing to that pretty boy posing with a lyre being like : "This is my father". Lol
Why does Asclepius still look older than his father even without the beard 🤣🤣.
Also, the fact that Apollo was never portrayed with a beard despite the fact that other youthful deities like Hermes or Dionysus sometimes are, is remarkable. I'd say it's because he represents young men in general, whereas all the others mentioned don't.
To conclude : Apollo statues are a vibe and I want an adaptation depicting Apollo in any of these poses ASAP (especially the swan).
(looking at you @gotstabbedbyapen)
Both of them looking good while riding swans. Now I want a Hyapollo fanart when they do that together.
Thank you so much for tagging me 🥺
I seriously need people to understand that Penelope didn't wait for Odysseus for twenty years because social expectations dictated it, or because she was expected to be a faithful wife even untill she died.
Actually it was exactly the opposite: her father wanted her to remarry, some of the women wanted her to remarry, her son made her understand that if she took another husband and left home he wouldn't stop her. And at a certain point she recounts that before leaving for war Odysseus had told her that if he were to die, she could remarry whoever she liked (making sure first that Telemachus would take the throne without problems).
I need people to understand that Penelope's choice was entirely personal. She didn't remarry because her love for Odysseus had never abandoned her, because she knew that with no one else could she find that complete identity of thought and mind, that homophrosyne that she had with him.
It was not the choice of a woman who was modest and trapped by the expectations of her time. It was the choice of a woman who was freer and more independent than others, who preferred to remain without the protection of a man rather than resign herself to not having HER man.
waiting kinda impatiently for my desire to write to return from war
