U will always be famous in my mind friend

Listen in my mind you're always gonna be That Famous Friend. Ever since Les Mis in Fresno.

orsay is truly fantastic, i mean abandoned train station turned museum, who could ask for more ?

i honestly have no words to express the exhaustion i have at somehow managing to get embroiled in a controversy in the less than 10 days since ive had this blog, so can i please just answer this once and once only:

hellenistic polytheism is an existent practice today and i have no desire to disrespect that or delegitimize it as a faith

i can find, so far, zero sources condemning the use of greek gods as names from said faith, although i did find a lot of people whose neighbors or sisters had greek god/dess names

the moniker nix is a nickname borrowed from a dnd character and is also a german word meaning nothing; nyx or nox is the night goddess and has no relation

iacchus is an old nickname which is both/either the name of a greek god and/or a noun referring to a type of song

neither of these are my name, they are just convenient nicknames, and i couldnt honestly give less of a fuck if anyone uses them

if your religious beliefs find it problematic to call people after names that have also been used in hellenistic polytheism, then dont call me that

i do not care if you dont want to use them and am fine with you not doing so

i have no interest in furthering this discussion into a federal fucking issue; i am not invested

Prodding you about this!

hell yes

oooh the characters look really cool, anon (though I would probably not have the drawing up online because people steal art for tattoos like there's no tomorrow

@ohfantine replied to your photo “hi! i’m the anon from before. basically this is what i made but i’m no...”

also sorry to butt in but you may want to consider the durability of this type of tattoo. using shading to create stand-alone lines means it will probably fade and/or thicken/"bleed" quite a bit as you get older, especially in an area that will most likely be stretched quite a bit throughout your life. faded tattoos are of course part of the process, but you may want to ask your artist on the best way to make this design work on skin on the long run.
