Whimsy Jack Kelly

their dad is a bisexual and a drag queen

A bunch of antagonists are transphobic butch lesbian teenage girls who try to get the mc to revert to being a girl to join their all girls lesbian academy

incestuous twins. (for comedic effect, used to mock/make fun of the fetishisation of incest)

A BANGER opening

And despite that and being a comedy it still covers deep topics such as life as a lower class citizen, life as an upper class citizen, misogyny, homophobia, losing somone close to you, fatal disease, domestic abuse, family pressure/abuse. (Some of these are manga exclusive, some are anime exclusive. The manga tends to be more serious while the anime is more lighthearted)

I’ve been on two boats (river boat and then a swamp tour) and I am TERRIFIED of being on the water for long periods of time, but I do also feel a very strong call to the ocean (I was probably a pirate in a past life) and I want to be on a ship soooo bad

Be yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks. Don’t hide who you are just so people will like you more.

hiii ~ of course i can!!

divider creator - requests open - like & reblog if you use!

I’ve seen different interpretations on how these two would first interact whenever Simon wakes up, so I’m tossing up my own finalized idea. Simon is just immediately scared and pleads for his life. After everything he’s physically been through and with how drugged up he was, he can hardly move. He’s stuck on the bed and only able to speak and cry. Which inevitably causes Ryland to breakdown himself as his last moments of earth replay in his mind. He understands exactly how Simon feels but can’t do anything to help. He just has to standby to be sure Simon doesn’t hurt himself. The chaos only ending whenever Simon runs out of energy and falls asleep. He virtually doesn’t speak to Ryland again for days. As well as avoids making any eye contact as much as possible. Going as far to even refuse to look at his face. He’s simply too afraid. If he can’t see his face, he can momentarily pretend he isn’t there.

So naturally their relationship isn’t good. But what about Rocky and Simon? Wellll

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

The brain worm of "aperture" continues to burrow in my brain.
