poemsandmyths:

“We need to hold deities accountable for their flaws and bad behavior!!”

1. We’re mortals, they’re Gods. We don’t get to make that choice.

2. The myths were man-made, some were meant to teach lessons or be metaphors, some of them you’re suppose to interpret, and even if they ARE true, who cares? It’s been 1000+ years, this is a different culture with a different society and I think the Gods understand that.

3. How do you expect to ‘hold deities accountable’, exactly? By scolding them? Giving them the finger? Not worshiping them or giving them offerings? Because we, as Hellenic polytheists, are suppose to worship them and give offerings, and if you think you’re ‘punishing’ our Gods by not doing those things, I’m willing to bet that the Gods will not be hurt by some mortal’s pride and arrogance. 

4. Take your hubris somewhere else. There’s nothing to hold the Gods accountable FOR. You’re going to ‘punish’ them just off of the slight POSSIBILITY that our myths are even true? How sad for you

AHHHHHH SO CUTE! ;A; ������

I know! We just went over our first lesson because she practically begged to go ahead and start before her birthday. Being as all of the stuff she has is hand-me-downs (in a sense), I decided “cleansing” was a good topic to start with. I have never seen her so attentive and enamored, Keys! The cuteness is going to kill me. ;A;

Omigosh that’s just the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard. 🖤😄

The Autumnal Asks are difficult to send you when I know the answers to just about all of them. XD The drawbacks of being your bestie. However! I do want to know “lantern – how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other?” but mostly the “impressions” being as I was, well, /there/ when we met. lmfao. Be blunt and harsh. I can take it! <3

Oh wow, that’s thinking back pretty far…

Well, for those that don’t know the story my best friend and I met at a small backwater bar where her, then, brother in-law was playing in a pool tourney. My husband, then fiancé, and her then husband had been working together for almost a year.

He brought her along so she could get out of the house and meet some new folks. When we were introduced it was crowded as I made pleasant greetings before bolting to the comfortof an empty corner to ease my anxiety. I kept feeling like I should go back over and talk and I felt bad for my abrupt retreat. I ended up coming back over to apologize/explain. After the nearly two hours or so we spent talking (including raving about astrology and being sarcasticly hilarious) my guy and I left, though I talked about her for literally days after that.

We were able to hang out again not long after and the friendship has endured and grown until Ellie is now like a sister I’ve never had and I love her dearly. 💜🖤

As what my impressions of you were, dear… I thought you were quiet, pretty adorable, and really interesting. I wondered why your hubs would drag you along when you seemed really uncomfortable, but to this day it’s the single best thing he’s ever done for me. I thought that I desperately needed to get to know you better and yes, I actually talked about you to Hubby for days after and how much I enjoyed talking to you. Overall my impression was a literal NEED to know you better because there was just something there I couldn’t put into words yet. I can now though… it’s called Fate and my life wouldn’t be nearly as wonderful if either of us hadn’t shown up that night. 🖤🖤🖤
