what if
when icarus fell
apollo caught him
before he hit the sea,
arms as warm as the sun,
but safer.
what if
when ariadne cast the rope
across a broken branch
aphrodite stepped in
with a reminder that this,
this is not the kind of love
you die for.
what if
when achilles
was ready for war
ares appeared with a smile
and said “you win well when you win,
but what are you unwilling
to lose if you lose?”
and achilles knew the answer.
if you could
retell the tale wouldn’t you want
to tell it kinder? wouldn’t you
want to give them peace, even love,
where you could?

just stumbled across Francisco Soria Aedo's work and first off: really good painter, super talented. He mainly did portraits and neoclassical but I really like are his expressions, which do show up in his neoclassical work. lots of people smiling and having fun and it's just very cute
this is one of my favorites
heres a couple more examples!
...i dont thing I’ve ever seen this style with people smiling...
still don’t really understand how some people have trouble just being nice
Oh my gosh you’re such a good person. Hey everybody come look at how much of a good person this is.
i literally cannot comprehend how you got offended by this but thanks for proving my point anyway
as much as i criticize jjba i gotta admit that kira yoshikage really is one of the best anime villains ever created if only because of how absurd his whole situation is. there’s no tragic backstory, no deep hatred for humanity, no critical “good vs evil” message in his actions, nothing. he doesn’t even have evil partners or an organization or any big motive. hes literally just a guy with a hand fetish who spends 90% of his fighting screentime running away from teenagers in a weird “catch me if you can”-esque way even though he‘s probably the most powerful character in the entire show
he tries SO hard to be discreet and not attract any attention as an office worker and be the most basic bitch to ever live (while killing women and cutting their hands off) and the reason anyone ever suspects him is because an 8th grader accidentally chose the same storebought sandwich as him. thats it. and suddenly the entire damn town is after him and for 47 episodes hes literally undefeatable. all his attacks are named after queen songs. he can blow any evidence up in seconds. he can remote-control bombs. when the heroes identify his face he.. just gets a new one. he can literally rewind time. he makes a fucking thirdgrader live through the same day 50 times a la groundhog day just because his david bowie looking ass didnt want anyone to find out about his hand fetish.
and guess what kills him. guess how he dies. a guy with an even stronger attack? the power of friendship? his long lost evil twin brother? nope. its an ambulance. a regular everyday ambulance runs him over on accident and thats how he dies. thats how the entire town is saved from kira “i fuck hands” yoshikage
i was playing pokemon blue on stream earlier at 350% speed and i got to thinking
what if the reason nobody in the pokemon world has any good teams is because its considered a dick move to have a proper team comp
like culturally everyone is like “haha pick the pokemon you want! if you’re happy with three geodudes, thats you and your life!” and then you’re supposed to just have a friendly battle with any other pokemon trainers and whatever pokemon they just happen to have
like the average trainer is probably just walking around with a growlithe because that’s their pet, or a hiker has three geodudes because the geodudes help him with hiking. and if this pet owner and geodude hiker meet, you’re supposed to have a friendly battle but nothing too serious
now imagine the 10 year old kid that has six pokeballs on their belt comes up. you’re like “haha, we’ll have a friendly battle!” and you throw out your geodude
and they throw out a fucking gyarados, and it one-shots your geodude
and then you throw out your pidgey you have because the pidgey helps you navigate mountains because you’re a hiker
and then electricity crackles around the gyarados and a thunderbolt flies off of this giant dragon and evaporates your pidgey
so you’re down to your last pokemon. you tell them you’re gonna send out your bulbasaur. the ten year old is like “oh okay in that case i’m gonna pull out my vulpix.” like not only is this kid walking around with an amped-up super dragon, but theyve also got multiple pokemon specifically for making type advantage counter-picks?
this kid’s a fucking asshole! really, kid? what are you trying to prove here? this is a friendly match between strangers for fun! why are you composing real-ass competitive teams? what a fucker!
i mean if you look at how npc’s talk about their pokemon, they’re service animals mostly. some of them are just pets. apparently they really enjoy sparring, so you let them battle other people’s pokemon for socialization, it’s like going to the dog park.
hell yes i’d be mad if i took my chronic pain support chow-chow to the dog park and some asshole with four rottweilers and a husky was like SIC EM THUNDERNUTS even if my dog enjoyed the tussle at first.
look, kid, the paras helps me weed the garden. it’s not a special forces attack paras. it’s just a bug that eats dandelions. please calm down.
This is precisely why Cooltrainers are exiled to the mountains
