quick reminders about Greek mythology:
- Persephone is black/has dark skin
- Haphaestus is disabled and has some mental illness(es)
- Gaia is black/has dark skin
- Hades is disabled
- Zeus is a rapist [ on multiple occasions ]
- Eros is pansexual
- Athena is most likely asexual
- Dionysus is bisexual
- all of the nymphs are nonbinary
- Persephone is the goddess of spring growth
- Thanatos is the god of death, not Hades
whoever made this post knows jack shit about greek mythology and I would like to invite teashoesandhair to this party
how is hades disabled??? what mental illnesses does hephaestus have??
where are you getting that persephone or gaea is black? i mean gaea is the actual planet earth so like….I mean I guess soil is black so??? these are greek myths not african. it stands 2 reason that your greek gods are…greek looking. since, you know, they were invented by the people that used them.
artemis is asexual, not athena (hello, diomedes?). taking a vow of chastity is not the same as being asexual in the slightest. her entire shtick is being able to control her sexual urges through intelligence and wisdom which is why she was an archetypical ideal Greek daughter, remaining ~unspoiled~ and loyal to her father, Zeus
eros is pansexual???? im sure Pan is very flattered. nymphs? are all pretty feminine spirits of trees that’s basically their defining feature. (incidentally if you wanted a case for nb/androgynous gods, hermes would be a good bet) (OH!!! AND APOLLO IS ACTUALLY BISEXUAL BY TODAY’S STANDARDS AND I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU LEFT HIM OUT OF THIS POST) and thanatos is a daemonic personification of death, kind of like our Grim Reaper. hades is the god of the underworld, therefore he rules over the dead and is the god associated with the dead.
but we’re all forgetting the most important thing: that the ancient greeks had such different attitudes about sexuality, disability, race, etc that literally none of this would have made any fucking sense to them
congrats you’ve appropriated an entire culture’s religion for social justice points

i hate when people go “i dont credit fanartists as Real artists because its fanart and they should draw more original art” ok yeah that patronizing attitude is nice and all but you know like… every piece of classical art is fanart of the bible
im sorry da vinci, the last supper doesnt COUNT as real art because its not original art and you should make some ocs
I think I just found the most compelling argument toward fanart ever
tagging isnt about money !!! its not about being big !!! its not about making it and being hot shit !!! its about the message !!! its about the art !!! its about how you feel !!! how people feel when looking at your art !!! street art isnt about recreating pictures of celebrities !!! or photoshopping campbells logos on spray cans !!! that ! is ! not ! what ! street ! art ! is !
One time I tipped an artist I hired for a commission and they cried. They said I was the first person who had ever tipped them in their almost 2 years of selling commissions. They were so shocked that I liked their art enough to leave a tip. They said they never felt like their art was that good, or that their customers weren’t really happy with their art, until that moment. So, seriously, tip the fucking artists you hire for a fucking commission.
drop the idea that you need some deep philosophical meaning behind your tattoo, if you got a tattoo simply because its aesthetically pleasing and for no other reason then good for you
aestheticism is the theory of art for art’s sake, and was championed by Oscar Wilde with the belief that surrounding oneself with beautiful things can directly influence the person one becomes. im taking a class on it. so basically every time u get a cool tattoo or a brooch u find in an antique store or a pretty wall print ‘just because u like it,’ Oscar Wilde is nodding approvingly
My sole mission in life is to make Oscar Wilde’s ghost approve of me
