Fun Facts
Easter has NOTHING to do with:
Ishtar
Ostara
Pagan holidays
A goddess called Eostre (Bede was a speculating idiot and he’s the original source for this nonsense)
Easter has EVERYTHING to do with:
The Jewish celebration of the Passover seder
The Christian celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
Nobody stole our shit. Easter was never pagan to begin with. Rabbit was considered “fish” by the medieval Catholic Church so that people could eat it during the 40 days of Lent, and eggs laid during the Lenten fast were hardboiled for preservation and then eaten during the breaking of the fast on Easter Sunday. That’s why we have bunnies and eggs.
Stop conflating Easter with pagan holidays, and get the fuck out of here with that casual anti-semitism.
Thank you and good day.
I knew that Easter was it’s own holiday, but I had no idea about the reasons for the rabbits and the eggs. I honestly thought it was something that kinda got brought with people who converted, like with a few Christmas traditions.
You learn something new everyday!
I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry.
Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?
And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?
Including the… epic hymn that first told this story? You know what’s in that original source material… right?
Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.
So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.
Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)
Here’s a link to another book that talks about Persephone’s rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.
Oh shit!!
Here’s a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!
Holy pug tacos Batman!!
Here’s another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!
All these fucking books! What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?
A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?
Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.
JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU
I don’t often reblog posts of people getting owned, but when I do…
man the ancient greeks didn’t dare to speak persephone’s name she was that powerful and venerated (they called her Kore, “the maiden”), hades didn’t get that honour
Rebagel for those book links, I find the Persephone and Hades stuff on here fascinating and I want to research it more
Book links, owning and the sheer badassery that is Persephone.
reblog forever
Reblogging for the links until this misapprehension finally ceases.
See also: Seduction and Rape in Greek Myth and Predatory Goddesses, both by classicist Mary Lefkowicz.
@thoughtsontomes you realize that every time I see Haides and Persephone I will be completely unable to not tag you, right? ;D
…okay, but now I really want Hozier and Florence to duet together because that would be multiple kinds of beautiful.

Attack on Titan is and always has been imperialist propaganda written by a Nazi supporter. The idea of the walls and their fragility is meant to criticize Japan’s antiwar policy, and the Titans coming back after 100 years is meant to imply that if Japan doesn’t start having wars and breaking down their “walls” and conquering the East again, other countries will come to terrorize the region. What bothers me most having watched the first season of it is the line about “Living like livestock”. It asserts the notion that to live without imperialism is a form of complacency, like somehow the country isn’t living life to its fullest if it isn’t out pillaging and raping the peoples of Korea, Manchuria, Indonesia, the Pacific Islands, etc. I will say that it’s actually really poorly written, so the ideas the writer has don’t come across super strongly, but it’s still seriously dangerous stuff.
Add to that the fact that so many characters have German names and that the setting seems to have a lot of european and specifically German vegetation and architecture becomes obvious that the writer wants viewers to feel nostalgic for the Axis Powers. It’s really infuriating to me as a Jewish person because it’s supporting a political climate under which the genocide of my people could resume even when we just now have the same Jewish population worldwide as we did pre-Holocaust. It’s fucked up and now that people are talking about it coming back for a second season after so long I want to urge you all to please boycott it.

Lol yes! Unfortunately it’s all true! For instance, the character called Dot Pixis is based on general Yoshifuru Akiyama, a famous war criminal during the occupation of Korea who Attack on Titan’s writer, Hajime Isayama, called “frugal and respectable” on his twitter account. Popular character Mikasa Ackerman is named after a warship in the Russo-Japanese war, a war over which power would violently occupy Korea, according to the show’s own damn official guidebook (Which I cannot link to because it’s a book) and wikia page.
In a separate reply to this post, a friend of mine has also noted that the character called Erwin Smith is named after a Nazi called Erwin Rommel who, despite occasionally defying orders he deemed “unjust”, was still a fucking Nazi and still took part in the Holocaust. I did find a source for this albeit not the best one. But it should also be in the official handbook as Outside Kou apparently claims that the origins of characters’ names are in that book.
And if you don’t find it bad enough that these characters are designed to be nods to imperialist/nazi history, then what ought to convince you the show should be boycotted is that it isn’t for shits and giggles. Hajime Isayama actually does support Imperialism. He named and designed those characters as homages to nazis and war criminals for a reason. Not because he thought the names were cool. He actually worships those military institutions. So I’ll say it again. Boycott Attack on Titan.
-Stephen
EDIT: Tumblr is a fucked website, so the reply that was made by user ramen-catholicism saying “Lol no” that prompted me to make this addition is not showing up on my computer as part of this post. Also some links aren’t showing up underlined in the second paragraph so if you want them you have to hover over my words with your cursor to find them… sorry
astrolodew's "Astrology 101" series: The Planets
Rising/Ascendant: also your 1st house. just as important as your sun sign. the face you wear in public, your first impression. influences fashion style (along with Venus) and mannerisms as well as personality. this is how strangers see you. your rising sign manifests as the first personality traits you exhibit. it eventually blends with the traits your sun sign endows you with, and that acts as a shell for your moon sign (outside layer: rising, inner layer: sun, deep inner layer: moon).
Sun: your ego, the broad strokes of your personality, who you are. the side of you that is seen by acquaintances. rules Leo.
Moon: just as important as sun. your instinctual self, your inner emotions, the unconscious side of your personality. the place comfort, peace, childhood memories, anger, hate, jealousy, and fear may be found. even if you don't relate to your Sun sign, you will almost always resonate completely with your Moon sign. the side of you that is typically seen by only close friends and relatives. rules Cancer.
Mercury: your center for communication, reason, intellect, awareness. mercury can influence if you're extravert or introvert (or ambivert - in the middle), how you study, what your handwriting looks like, if you enjoy reading and writing, if public speaking is easy or difficult for you. a natal retrograde mercury can indicate issues with outward communication and learning, though it may also bestow you with a great propensity for introspection. rules Gemini and Virgo.
Venus: influences how you love, how you act in relationships, where you find beauty. contributes to your own personal style. represents sensuality (Taurus, ruled by Venus, is one of the most sensual signs), culture, romance, beauty, social appeal (Libra, ruled by Venus, is one of the most socially charming signs). in a man's chart, influences what kind of person you're attracted to. rules Taurus and Libra.
Mars: your animal instinct. how you approach sexual encounters, how you fight, why you fight, how you go after your goals. influences whether you're aggressive or passive, detached or intense. gives you energy, both negative (rage) and positive (passion). how enemies and sexual partners see you. in a woman's chart, influences what kind of person you're attracted to. a natal retrograde mars can mean that one must turn inwards for motivation rather than send their energy outwards into the world to achieve their goals. (example: Sigmund Freud was born with a retrograde Libra mars. he spent his life studying what went on internally to create the motives and sexualities of others.) rules Aries.
Jupiter: associated with luck, good fortune, optimism. can influence how you view new people, cultures, ideas, and passions. the planet one should look to when deciding whether or not to go with fate (as opposed to going your own way, relying only on yourself). rules Sagittarius.
Saturn: represents restrictions, limitations, authority. the parent figure of the planets, throws challenges your way to make you more responsible. shows you where you need to apply determination and willpower the most. this could be in a financial, material, or spiritual area. seen as the force balancing out Jupiter. rules Capricorn.
Uranus: represents change, innovation, technology, discovery, general progression. represents enlightenment, ingenuity. an entire generation can fall under the same Uranus sign due to how slowly it moves. most Millennials have a Capricorn Uranus, while most Generation Z (the group after Millennials) kids have an Aquarius Uranus. this is why you'll see a lot of Millennials working hard the way their parents worked hard...going to school and working lots of jobs, while their younger siblings take alternative education routes, push for social change, push out inventions and humanitarian programs (think Ahmed Mohamed, Malala Yousafzai). opposes your natal sun at about age 40, hence the mid-life crisis. your Uranus sign will tell you where you defy the rules, break traditions, refuse to follow. rules Aquarius.
Neptune: represents illusion, fantasy, dreams, visions, imagination. works mostly in the spiritual realm. can push you towards mysticism, magic, the occult, experimental drugs, delusion, deception, guilt if its influence is strong enough. also can add compassion, sensitivity, and a marked love for the arts (especially music) to a person. can soften the hard edges found elsewhere in your chart. another generational planet. rules Pisces.
Pluto: represents transformation, challenge, death, renewal. brings hidden/secret information to light, changing everything. often considered to rule the masses more than the individual. throws challenges your way to force you to change, to make you stronger. Pluto pushes for self-empowerment. the ends justify the means to Pluto when it comes to this. rules Scorpio.
Midheaven: also your 10th house. your Midheaven gives you some insight into where your place in life is, especially when it comes to your career. also relates to your social standing, your reputation as it often influences your public face (not the same one your rising gives you, though. this face is for teachers and bosses, people you want to impress). can also be used to gain insight into your spiritual and personal goals.
