Still Cannot Get Over The Fact That There Are Lots Of Animals Contributing To The Ecosystem That Are

Still cannot get over the fact that there are lots of animals contributing to the ecosystem that are slowly going extinct, yet we still care more about pandas and koalas. If this isn't proof that looks can get you everywhere then I don't know what else it could be.

I'm not 100% serious right now and this was partly made for my broken sense of humor, but sex ads should be considered sexual harassment. You receive an explicit content right in front of your eyes without your consent. I do not care that you want to make it grow with three inches or that Anne is only two miles away from me! I just want to watch anime in peace, okay?

Athena being a headache again.

Tantalus: So how's the food everybody?

Zeus: Son what the hell is this?

Tantalus: That is meat of the highest quality.

Poseidon: You just served us your own son!

Demeter: What??? 🤢🤮

Tantalus: Don't you eat people?

Zeus: My father ate my siblings, I don't eat anyone!!

Athena: How did my mom taste? 😒

Zeus: You, hush!

One of the things about dissection that should be a no-brainer and yet for one reason many people fail to understand is that you're not allowed to take pictures of the corpses. These people didn't give their consent during the time when they were alive. And even when you're sectioning their body parts you're not allowed to cut any areas other than the ones indicated. Imagine the fact that all the bodies you're practicing on were very much alive once and decided to donate themselves for educational and scientific purposes, not for you to profane them.

As if stealing from the cemetery wasn't already enough...

In Greek Mythology Persephone had strong connections and friendships with a lot of women, from Athena and Artemis to the Oceanids, Nymphs and Horae. She deeply loved her mother and it's safe to assume that she and Hecate became close to each other after Homeric Hymns to Demeter. The only woman whom she punished was Minthe, who was a homewreker, and in some versions of the myth it is Demeter the one who turned her into a plant instead of her.

So seeing her no longer spending time with her old friends, constantly bellitling other women and seeing most of them as a threat on top of treating Hades as the centre of her universe in many retellings is far from her character in my honest opinion. I would rather see her befriending the mortal souls of Semele, Ariadne, Eurydice, Iphigenia etc. in the Underworld and comforting them than putting other women down for no reason at all.

Now, there are also individuals who bring up into discussion her rivarly with Aphrodite in the myth of Adonis, but if you think about it Aphrodite and Hera were also rivals for a while due to the Judgement of Paris, and yet when Hera asked Aphrodite for her girdle during the Trojan War she's all like: "Sure girl, take it!💅". For one reason or another people are aware of the fact that just because two gods had a dispute once that doesn’t mean that they couldn't have reconciled in time, but when it comes to goddesses they no longer get along and they deeply hate each other for the rest of their eternity.

I like when people reference Greek Myths or Mythological Characters in their books as long as these associations make sense or add more nuance to the story. For example, the full title of Frankenstein is "Frankenstein, or the new Prometheus". But then there are books I didn't really enjoy, and I cannot tell wheter or not the problem is me or the author. A while ago I read a book titled "Procustes' Bed" for my exams. To resume it shorter, half of the book is the narrator going through an existential crisis, and the other half are the sex scenes, both real and imaginary. In Greek Mythology, Procustes was a bandit and murderer who used to cut his victim's legs if they were too tall, or take their legs from their limbs if they were too short, so that they would fit perfectly into his iron beds.

This story could serve as inspiration either for a horror or detective novel, but somehow someone looked at it and said: "Nope! This is philosophical porn!" At least make a likeable character, dude, not an insufferable one with the highest superiority complex I have ever witnessed.
