really love imagining a bunch a kids and teens on their pokemon journeys staying the night on the couches and floors in the lobbies of pokemon centers, having long talks about their experiences and feelings sharing funny and scary stories and myths about legendaries and trading items and sharing TMs along with sugary snacks and pokedex chargers all while their pokemon are out of their pokeballs and all bundled up in blankets sleeping soundly next to their trainers while they stare up at the stars shining through the glass ceiling over their heads
I have read (and see) something about Hades and Persephone having chickens in the underworld, but this is really a fact or is something invent?
Chickens were indeed sacred to Hades and Persephone and an example of this are the terracotta votive tablets from Locri -the ones of the pictures-. There are some books about this subject like Iconography of Religions by Bianchi or Locrian Maidens by Redfield.
The cock/chicken “became the chthonic bird, and was used on tombs, as emblematic of the hope of a reawakening to life”. (Peters) and it is also refered as “an infernal animal of passage” by Bernabe in his book Instructions for the Netherworld: the orphic gold tablets.He also says: ”Cocks allude to the world of the afterlife: as intermediaries between the soul and the Beyond, they intercede between the world of the dead and that of the living”.
Remember Persephone was the goddess of renewal, so at least in Locri, the cock was an usual attribute of her. And in other cultures cocks-chickens were seen as animals related to renewal and life (eggs have that symbolism tooo).
😀 so. chickens for Hades and Persephone all the way.
ONE OF THE REASONS THE GRINCH HATES CHRISTMAS IS THE CONSUMERIST CULTURE THAT SURROUNDS IT. IN FACT, HIS VIEW OF CHRISTMAS IS OBFUSCATED TO THE POINT THAT THIS IS ALL HE THINKS CHRISTMAS IS! HIS RELEVATION AT THE END OF THE BOOK IS THAT CHRISTMAS DOESN’T COME FROM A STORE AND THIS BRINGS HIM FAITH IN THE HOLIDAY! HE WOULD NOT EVER FALL IN LOVE WITH THE ONCELER, A NOTED CAPITALIST.
Hey my brain just provided me with the sentence Grinch and Onceler are kismesis and i need someone to track my location and kill me
sometimes there’s videos that make me happy to exist on this planet
i’d reblog this even if it was a still image
I know it’s a sesame street clip but seriously, who is the target audience for this?
Parents watching it with their kids, I guess?
kids are perfectly aware that shakespeare is a thing, and “to be or not to be” is one of the few things they know about shakespeare. my nephew used to giggle like a fiend when my mom would talk all elizabethan to him. “what sayest, child, hast thou no cake? o injustice, sharper than a pokey stick! whither have the fairies whisked thy cake?”
Magnus and Barry wake up at the crack of dawn just to jump into freezing cold water, and Taako, Lup, and Merle are just like “They must be going crazy or something. There’s no way that someone would willingly jump into icey water for fun-” and then Lucretia goes barreling past the three, yelling, “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ASSHOLES JUMPED IN WITHOUT ME.” And the three go run to Davenport to say that all the humans they’re stuck with are certifiably insane.
Taako: Magnus put a damn shirt on.
Magnus: It’s not even that cold out.
Taako: It’s literally snowing.
Lup: Oh, babe, don’t eat that. It’s a super acidic fruit, it’ll dissolve your flesh.
Barry, confused: Lup this is a pineapple.
Magnus breaks both his legs in one cycle and the three basically invent street cross country skis to get him to move around and everyone else is terrified
“shouldn’t you be resting???”
“you think two broken legs will stop me?”
“IT SHOULD”
Lucretia: Humans have two sets of teeth.
Lup: you’re lying to me.
Magnus: Im gonna eat this blue glowing fruit I found
Davenport: You can’t do that, we’re two weeks into this cycle and you’re our security officer
Lucretia: Yeah, let Barry do it; if he dies, then he’ll just be a lich.
Davenport: No, no one is eating it
Barry: [has already eaten half of it]
i wish i could draw because i desperately want to draw the last exchange.
complete with ending on Barry freezing with half the fruit already in his mouth like a fruit goblin.
