When I think of Ares Laossoos (He Who Rallies Men) and Ares Alloprosallos (He Who Leans First to One Side, Then to the Other), I think of the history of war throughout all time, and about how ultimately, the goodness and wellbeing of humanity always prevails. There is no question about that fact. Lord Ares cannot take firm sides in war because He can and will change sides depending on what is best for uniting ALL men. He is not one to define himself by the team He’s on; instead, He picks and chooses the best qualities of each warring faction, and destructs all the other ideas of what isn’t ideal for All Men. Those who cannot understand this about Him would call Him “fickle, disloyal, savage, bloodthirsty.” But His devotees and worshipers sense a fierce protectiveness from Him for a reason: to us, He is innately good.
To support this, I see this from His Wikipedia page: “Ares's nearest counterpart in Roman religion is Mars, who was given a more important and dignified place in ancient Roman religion as ancestral protector of the Roman people and state.”
With that being said… when I think of some of His other epithets such as Ares Tykton Kakon (Complete Evil), Ares Mainomenos (Magnilant), Ares Deinos (Terrible) and Ares Brotoloigos (Plague of Mankind), as an Ares worshiper myself, I only think of this in relation to how His worshipers saw Him; I think of how Zeus (personification of Kings) spat these labels at Him, but His followers took them and proudly reclaimed them as symbols of His strength and power. Now, I am not saying that all Ancient Greeks saw him in this way, I made a related post about this earlier. But my point is, “Evil” can definitely be used objectively, but it can also be used as a harmful label. Of course someone who Rallies All Men would be seen as evil by Kings and those who uphold hierarchy.
I also see this on His Wikipedia page: “Although there are many literary allusions to Ares's love affairs and children, he has a limited role in Greek mythology. When he does appear, he is often humiliated.”
Of course Ares has been most depicted as being humiliated, this is a tool of tyrants, they use humiliation tactics as a tool to uphold an abusive and exploitative system. Yet, the general reputation that Lord Ares has is proof that this does not make Him any less of a mighty warrior. His “humiliation rituals” are told as tales of His glory and might, not as something shameful.
Lord Ares is impulsive and passionate. He acts first and asks questions later, because He is so moved in the moment to do what is right, He never bothers to stop and think about the implications of His actions (in the eyes of others) because He is someone who trusts His own instincts that much. This is what I admire the most about Him.
one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.
DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.
One of my college professors used to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.” I didn’t understand that for years because I didn’t do anything poorly, I couldn’t do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.
But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting. Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible. Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible. Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly… because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.
also if you are a student, any number of points on a badly or partially done assignment will be better than entering a zero. do what you can and turn it in. any amount of positive points is better than a zero

Those people who always insist that bi women can have boyfriends are, in my opinion, not even helping bisexual women by saying that.
It can be so fucking difficult for us to identify our same-sex attraction in the first place. The presence of OSA is often an eclipsing force.
And it is so so so easy to live and die in the closet as a bisexual. We can all come up with countless excuses that keep us afraid and hiding.
I like men so clearly what I feel about women must be platonic. I desire men so there’s no way I would like vulvas and I need to stop worrying about it. If I catch myself having thoughts about women I can replace them with thoughts about men.
Doubling down all the time on the fact that we can have boyfriends only makes that closet door harder to open for other bisexual women. Other bisexual women hear that rhetoric and nod and say you’re right, let’s keep hiding.
#bi woman are constantly pressured to prioritize m/f attraction and relationships#bi women need to be told that we can be attracted to women can date women can marry women#we need to be told that sex and romance with men is always optional NOT that it’s valid#normalize never mentioning cis m/f relationships during pride month because it’s actually very important that pride is never about them
...yeah, and it's not as though any bi woman has ever been pressured to "just come out as a lesbian already" or told she owes it to the cause to prioritize women or that if she's in a relationship with a man she's "basically straight" and should be quiet when the real queers talk.
Could we maybe consider that there isn't a single unified bi woman experience or a single package solution, and that telling fellow queers "actually you're not queer enough, your relationship isn't queer enough, and pride isn't about you" never leads to anything good?

Lord Ares showed me that I can suffer, thrash, writhe, cry and cry, sob, dry-heave, scream, lash out, crash out, fall apart, lay catatonic, undergo humiliation, lose everything, and more, all over, and over, and over again.
As you may know, Hades does not really have any festivals or holidays in the way other deities do, so I’ve decided to start making them myself. I have decided that tomorrow, Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026, and every subsequent following Wednesday annually (June 3rd) will be the Feast of Season’s End, where we are marking the calendar of the year of when Summer is here and Spring’s final harvest has passed. So I have prepared a ritual event for that. I have cleaned up my shrine, I have set up and will perform a libation and ritual music for Hades. This is specifically to Hades the Lord of Wealth/Wealth-Giver. This is an abundance ritual holiday.
You can completely ignore this, or do it yourself, or ask to be included. As a note: I am not a voice of authority on when you can or cannot celebrate a holiday or make a holiday for a deity. I have just made this decision for me and my shrine, and how I do things. I offer prayer services regularly, but this is a special ritual for Hades specifically, and I'm doing this for me. You are not obligated to take this as if it was authoritative. :) <3 I just want Hades to have some celebrations too.
This is how the ritual works:
Your shrine should be as close to the ground as you can make it safely (if you have animals or children that might touch things and cannot place your shrine on the ground, that is fine. Safety first!)
First you must clean yourself, miasma is not allowed in shrine. While in the cleansing, you say these words as you wash yourself:
Hail Hades, foremost of the Dead, Necro Soter,
Plouton, I offer myself in honour and devotion.
Polydegmon, receive me as I cleanse my body.
When you are finished, adorn yourself in a black or dark apparel!
Bring your offerings (I suggest meat, particularly black sheep or cow, wine, coins, money, and bones) and place them on the shrine. Kneel to the floor and press your palms flat on the floor and forehead touching the floor and say this prayer while pounding your hands or fists to the floor (this does not need to be done hard):
Hear me, Lord Hades, I offer you (say what you have brought).
Plouton (or Wealth-Giver), I ask that your abundance is brought back to me.
Plouton (or Wealth-Giver), fill my life with an abundance of wealth and prosperity.
As I give to you, so you share with me the wealth of the world.
As I give to you, so you share with me the abundance of the world.
Plouton (or Wealth-Giver), (say your request here).
You may repeat this as many time as you feel needed.
Once you have completed this, allow any burning offerings, like candles or incense, to burn out, stay knelt on the floor. (A/N: If you cannot kneel to the floor, or cannot sit on the floor, you may sit in a chair and bow as far forward as you can without hurting or straining yourself. Lord Hades would NOT want you to suffer while you offer to Him.)
Once you have finished, consume the offerings that are edible, or save them for later in appropriate storage devices. Anything that is not consumable should remain on the altar, such as candles, incense, flowers, coins, bills of money, et cetera. If you cannot leave your shrine for a long period of time (such as you don’t have space), pack all the items together in the box. Anything you offered that is not at a stage to be thrown away or removed from the shrine remain together with the shrine.
During the year, you should take at least one coin a month from the shrine, until next year on June 3rd, when you repeat the ritual. Take the coin and spend it in some way, that could be giving it to someone else, putting it in a wishing fountain, spending it on something for yourself or for the shrine.
Anything you buy with the coin should be presented to Hades before consuming when possible.
As I am doing this as a state holiday, I will annually do this. Anyone who feels they want to be included in this offering, I will do. I already have a list of names, so if you would like to be included, you will be. Just EMAIL me or leave a comment.
As I have limited space, my shrine is much smaller than I’m comfortable with, however, we make do with what we have, and I am grateful that I have a space at all to put them in.
My offerings go up tomorrow, and so will my prayers to everyone who has said yes to being a part of this. Thank you for reading. I hope to make many, many more holidays for Hades over time.
Go forth and may the wealth and abundance come to you as you deserve.
