Minos When He Saw Baby Asterion For The Very First Time:

Minos when he saw baby Asterion for the very first time:

I've read somewhere that the main reason why Apollo is unmarried is because he loved the Muses, but couldn't marry all of them. Yet I cannot remember where is this thing mentioned.

But if this is actually real then it would be hilarious af.

Will never get over the way IrenHorrors draws Greek Mythology Characters

Athena, Aphrodite and Artemis

Nyx and Semele

Eros×Psyche and Orpheus×Eurydice

Charon, Melinoe and Thanatos

Hades and Persephone

Medusa, Hecate and Eris

Pandora and Lamia

I wish she wouldn't have followed some common modern perpeceptions, such as the shipification of Hades and Persephone or depicting Medusa as a beautiful woman (there's a difference between being terrifying and being unattractive). Otherwise I love her art.

For more context:

Perhaps one of the spiciest chapters from history (which sadly isn't taught in school) is the relationship between Victoria and her husband Albert. Here are a few informations about it:

Victoria held a secret diary in which she wrote about Albert and her *ahem* fantasies with him. Here is one passage from it:

"My dear Albert came in today from the rain; he looked so handsome in his white cashmere britches, with nothing on underneath."

I think we all know what happened moments later.

She once sent to him this spicy painting of her (see the picture).

Back then disheveled hair and visible shoulders were considered alluring and sensual.

She also bought him a quite erotic painting from artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter's which depicts a group of bare-breasted women preparing to bathe.

The couple is said to have installed a special button in their bedroom at their huge holiday house on the Isle of Wight. The idea was they could lock the doors from bed so they would never be disturbed in flagrante delicto by a footman bearing a tea tray.

Victoria hated being pregnant and having kids, but LOVED sex. That's why she ended up having nine children. Unsurprisingly, Albert was the one who took care of them.

There are persistent rumours that Albert was so well endowed that he had to wear a special ring around his "little Prince" so it could be pulled to the side and thus not bulge in an unseemly manner in his trousers. This may be where the "Prince Albert" comes from.

After giving birth to her last child, Victoria's doctor told her: "You know, ma'am, you shouldn't have any more children.", to which she replied with: "What, Doctor, no more fun in bed?"

Unfortunately, Albert died in 1861, 32 years before she passed away. RIP Sex Button.

The more I think about Perseus and Andromeda having nine children together, the more I'm starting to imagine their sex life resembling Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's and this is not okay.

I hindsight, inserting a nightmare fuel picture in my post instead of just adding a link was probably a horrible idea. Now I'm getting random jumpscares every times I'm opening my Tumblr. 😭

The idea that there could be any sort of connection between Athena and ants is actually quite fascinating.

There is a myth of a woman named Myrmex whom Athena was in a relationship with until she pretented that she invented the plough. She was then turned into an ant by the goddess. Furthermore, I've seen some people on the Internet claiming that Zeus ate Metis after he tricked her to turn into an ant, yet I cannot find any sources that state this version so I'm not going to take it as valid.

But the main reason why I like the idea of Athena being associated with them is because they resemble her to some extent. Ants are known for their intelligence and complex social structures. They built their own cities, farms, garbage dumps and cemeteries. They have 250.000 brain cells, which is quite a lot for an insects and also one of the reasons why they're considered some of the most intelligent ones to ever exist.

At the same time though, they are SCARY AF. They are the only animal besides humans known for domesticating other animals and keeping them as pets. They also have slaves. And they also kill their old friends after they turn into "zombies" (old story). There's also an ant speies where there are only females. They're not reproducing themselves through sex, but through a process similar to cloning.

Also, they can carry things 50× times heavier than them, so it would be enough for them to be the size of a cat in order to wrestle the shit out of you.

Also also, here's how ants look like under a microscope:

Anyway, I'm not sure where I'm going with this post, but Athena being associated and/or having connections with ants would be an interesting concept in my honest opinion.
