I should have seen this coming but should I say I wasn’t expecting it so soon or
Dantalion calls out to William
And the first thing he says is
HOOOKAY WHAT???
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIS HAND? DANTALION?
Oh, okay. Maybe that’s not too bad, he seems to be a good guy-
Wait. What are you doing
D A N T A L I O N WHAT ARE YOU– *internal screaming*
*NOTE* Dantalion says: “Or even” in between, so the complete sentence is “or even to believe in demons or hell”, but the subtitles were so vaguely placed that I just skipped that screen shot.
He just kissed William’s hand, but okay, I guess that’s fair enough.
Dantalion just completed an epic, loyal speech, that probably riled about a million yaoi fangirls out there, so let’s see what William has to say.
*waits patiently for William’s answer*
I was. SO CONFUSED on rather I was supposed to scream, “NO YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG” or to burst out laughing, so I did both.
They were having a moment and William, the disobedient tsundere, just RUINS EVERYTHING. Ok thank you. I needed that.
And so to finish up this post, have Dantalion’s face that OBVIOUSLY says "is that seriously all you have to say to my dramatic proposal?“
Are these two legit or is the author screwing around (as do most authors)?
Dantalion facing his first ever rejection in his long life 🤣
a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:
-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings
-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn’t 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)
-there is no version of persephone’s abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that’s a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)
-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus’ name does not mean “spot” (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)
-zeus isn’t the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same
-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well
-gods are more complicated than simply being “god of [insert thing]”, many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped
-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn’t 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt
-titans and gods aren’t two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians
-hector isn’t the villain some people make him out to be
-ancient greek society didn’t have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it’s incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it’s also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it’s more complex than that
-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don’t understand the societal context in which they were told
-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn’t one singular “canon”, but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions
-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect
-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they’re much more entertaining than you may think
greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don’t go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!
