I am Athie! I am a femme lesbian (she/her) by sexuality and gender

I write fanfiction under the username Diarunas (note I am currently on hiatus and I don't know when I'll start writing again), and this blog is my main blog, where I will post my art which is mostly of Greek mythology and my ocs

I am autistic and my special interest is Greek mythology, specifically the Iliad and Orphism

Use my askbox as you will! You can give me drawing requests, ask me anything, show me a picture, or ask to DM!

Find me as Diarunas on Ao3, Artfight, and Tiktok, and ilovepatroclus on Discord

I also talk about spiritual things related to my religion, Orphism, which is the Cult of Orpheus that primarily worships Dionysos

I use 4 tags: "diarunas yaps" for general text posts, "diarunas art" for my art posts, "diarunas fic" for posts related to my fanfiction, and "diarunas reblog" for my reblogs

My other blogs are cannibal-maenad for more aesthetic-oriented posts, as well as most of my other fandoms, athies-corner for more personal posts, ecstaticrebirth for oc posts, and pink-pony-supernova for posts about chappell roan

some context:

This takes place at the part of my story where Seer has gained enough influence as a prophet for him to be affecting the politics of Neojerusalem. On the first day of the 200th year since the Collapse, there is a celebration held to honour the day. After Haver, the queen's, speech implying herself to be above him, he throws her aside and screams of the miracles he can produce. Raising his hand to the sky as the moon eclipses it, he pronounces himself more important than even the sun.

the general consensus is that no matter how much you have one guy pouting about it in the background if you have an extended scene of just violence, it's very difficult to justify it as an anti-war movie. people have been saying this about more popular (and better) anti-war movies like saving private ryan and all quiet on the western front. it's still showing the fantasy of gratiutious violence EVEN with the moral behind it
