Nick Robles is honestly out here like:
Umberto Eco's work on the philosophy of language is fascinating, but my hand doesn't appreciate the constant note taking.
Would you say maladaptive daydreaming about interacting with the Gods would be disrespectful?
No. As far as I’m aware, maladaptive daydreaming is not something you want or control.
When Apollo is rampaging out of your door, and you have no Auntie Hestia at home, ready to pamper you with cuddles, comfort and a safe cleansing with fire that will kill one by one each germ… Well, what to say, maybe it’s really the time to stay put at home.
Especially if you’d go to meet some very mortal, very sensible to disease-bringing arrows friends.
(you were wondering how come our Hestia is not a jerk as her family? Well, she kinda goes by the rule “Manners maketh the man”. She’ll snap her fingers and incinirate you with zero regrets if you get on her bad side, but with a smile on her face and saying thank you and please can you just move away from that rug it looks like it’d be a mess to clean like the polite lady she is.)
Do you want to hear my story?

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost
The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction
The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity
We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either
Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender
The gods didn’t actually have animal heads
Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)
The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous
Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”
Another day at the office

I’m reading a novel that was written in 1915 and has a whole paragraph just casually discussing sexism, objectification, asexuality and the impermanence of love. I don’t care if the characters are supposedly ‘despicable’, Ford Madox Ford was onto something.
‘The Good Soldier’ by Ford Madox Ford, on page 84 of 179.
