Greek mythology? Love that stuff. I'm game to geek out over some of it if the topic gets brought up

Steak cupcake wrapped in bacon with mashed potato "frosting" and bacon bits with cheese?

 

That's that **** I LIKE. THAT's my kind of "cupcake".

 

Lol, I knew you would like it! Five brothers, remember. 

 

Oh, I forgot to reply. Yes I wanna see! Show!

 

Oh, here she is:

 

 

Hair kind of annoys me though, with how sparse it is at the roots but I think she's pretty.

This thread is amazing. It's covered so many of my favorite things: Cocktails, cupcakes, goat cheese, goats themselves, Poison Ivy, Boom's fiction...

Now if we just talk about Greek mythology and the Twilight Zone, it officially becomes my favorite thread.

My second character, my human mage, was almost named Gaia, after the Greek goddess of the earth.  I decided against it because it was too obvious.  I'm drinking from the Well on this character.  She's named Terra instead.

 

As to your other subject, I've been really wanting a completely off-the-wall Fade romp.  Where just oddness and strange logic happens for the sake of, "It was just a dream."  Maybe a place where instead of a Blight, it's a Blessing that comes upon the land that the people pray for.  Instead of darkspawn and corrupt Old Gods, there is a similar race of gentle beings that are tasked with awakening the pure Old Gods.  These Old Gods always fall eventually, due to warriors dedicated to balance between Light and Dark.

 

To keep it a little grounded, at the end is a Desire Demon masquerading as an benign creature.  Complete with a false sense of calm and tranquility radiating from it.

 

This is not the Thedas you knew.  This...is the Twilight Zone.

Zeus is a ******. Thor's better and he's not even the head of his pantheon!

 

All hail Thor! Loki! Freya! My favorite, the god of sexy, Baldur! and Odin!

Excellent! Halfway to my goal.

My favorite is Eros and Psyche, but I also have a soft spot for Perseus, because the original clash on the titans was a favorite growing up. What about you?

Is it weird that I keep trying to convince myself that there is some epic love story hidden away between Hades and Persephone?

Nope, I've been wondering that for years.  I am sick of Hades being portrayed as some sort of evil jealous god, when frankly he's just a guy trying to do the job he was stuck with.  He's a rather neutral guy in much of the mythos and shows acts of kindness that don't seem forced from time to time.  He also has a sense of fair play, so long as you stick to the agreed upon rules.

Artemis, Hephaestus, and Hades are some of my favorite gods/goddess though I mostly feel bad for Hephaestus. Oh and Eris I also really like her but I'd have to say Artemis is my favorite. Even did about half of my school papers on her when given the chance didn't matter how much I needed to twist and stretch it to make it fit either Its been so long since I read any but most of the books I own are dedicated to Greek mythology.

Boom, she is pretty! You're so good in the CC.

And now Ive reached my goal!

This is now my favorite thread ever.

Hehee! Do you have a favorite episode? Mine is "The Obsolete Man".

Lmao, there's an epic rap battle between Zeus and Thor on Youtube, with lego versions of them. Have you see it?

Absolutely not! I happen to really like Hades so I try to do the same.

This.

Out of likes, all of you, or I'd be showering you with them.

I don't know if it's cheating or not, but it's from the 1983 Twilight Zone movie.  It's the segment where the very racist man walks out of a bar...and ends up in a Nazi controlled future.  The irony is so sweet.

 

I was more of an Outer Limits fan, especially the reboot from back in the 90s.  My husband and I bonded early on over our favorite episode: The Double Helix.

Thanks, hun.

Yay! I really like him too, definitely one of my favourites.    

 

Next question and not the best written literature but have any of you read the dark hunter series?

[Colonelkillabee]

The so called evil ones in religions often actually seem to be perfectly fine if you look at them, lol. "Melek Taus" who is called the devil by the ignorant in Yazidi religion is actually looked at as an example because his only "crime" was obeying god's word to the very end, and he was punished for it and later redeemed. But Muslims take him to be Shatan, and they're wrong.

 

And honestly, the serpent in the garden gave man true free will and self awareness. Honestly, even if you dropped and spat on it, I'd dust that apple off and savor each and every bite. Life's not worth much if your just bumbling around like a moron completely unaware of oneself.

I like this, but I absolutely adore James Woods' performance in the Disney Hercules. He is absolutely hysterical, the only thing that saved that movie from being completely unwatchable. All the mythology screwups and bizarre characterizations pissed me off, but Woods was worth it.

Apart from that, though, yeah. Aides was great, apart from the whole Persephone thing, which you can kind of explain away if you work at it but it's still pretty skeevy.

Agreed

[Grieving Natashina]

 

 

 

Agreed

I'd actually recommend his performance in the Kingdom Hearts games as well.  He's a lot of fun, especially outside of that rather goofy movie.  Don't get me wrong, I liked the Disney movie it was just...a little off.  

 

Speaking of things along those lines, Hera getting portrayed as this almost constant patient and loving type (especially in regards to Hercules) has gotten very old.  To quote Sera: "She's a b*tch and she knows it.  She'd better."  That's who Hera was, not that I blame her.

[Lady Artifice]

Hephaestus is a favorite of mine too. One of the reasons I dislike Hera so much. 

 

Hades and Persephone by Sandara

OMG! Moar! 

[HuldraDancer]

Yeah can't stand Hera because of Hephaestus. I mean I get why she's a ****** and angry I'd be too if the person I was with screwed anything they could and had a bunch of kids running around the place but can't really give her slack for what she did to Hephaestus. Don't like Aphrodite that much either since I like Hephaestus quite a bit.

[Lady Artifice]

OMG! Moar! 

 

 

Isn't Sandara great? Eluvianus' current pic of Dorian is one of theirs.

 

I'll find more. I know she has at least one other of the two of them...it's just less finished.

I love almost all of these videos, lol. So entertaining. This reminds me of a rap I wrote up when my Roman fanboy thread was talking **** about germans and "barbarian nations". Had to school him so he'd hush. Let me see if I can find it...

And this why Germaic tribes suck and Roman legionaries are awesome, 

http://www.badassoft...germanicus.html

 

 

Let me kick you something Balrog, that you probably should know, like rap, clap and Rome, I kill my foes slow,

This intrinsic desire of mine to dog the Empire, ever since the knowledge of their ****** status that I have acquired,

Let me retire this debate right now, put it to bed, so kick back young buck and hear what is flowed, what is said,

Hear what I say, okay? The words are painful to bitches, but if you let me sting you, I'll heal you like stitches,

 

Germanic tribes, goths, what you call barbarians, struck the heart of Rome, your "Egalitarians",

Equestrians and foot soldiers, came charging your borders in 410, that my friend was just the start of the end,

The beginning of fears, red Roman tears, the first time Eternal City fell in 800 years,

The last time was to the people of Gaul, ran through your region, your failure and your weakness a treason, comes with the season,

It's the reason that you're no longer breathen, I got you seethen, yea you mad but it's your fault for believin, in ***** legion,

 

Like you were Penn State, kickin out the scandals, more people sacked your city and they went by the Vandals,

Roman sandals beating feet, running, dying like vermin, and they were finally done in by barbarian Germans,

All my barbarian brethren, take your hands and throw em up, then take cover, 'cause like Odaecer, I'm about to blow it up,

Revolts, came with the ruckus, and cast down Romulus, and thus, there was no fuss, nothing left to discuss,

 

They'd never again rule anywhere in Italy, so listen to the lesson of Professor Killabee,

 

You can win a battle, but it don't win a war, we outlasted you, my dude, so what you braggen for?

You weren't prepared for what we had in store, and so do you want more? Do you want more?

We came, we saw, then we ravaged you raw, we don't like your prissy skirts, taxes or Roman law,

Germans suck? Ha, that's what the Romans are for, and yes we want more. Oh yes, we want more.

 

The name that's got you sweatin was Arminius, yo, he took Rome by the balls then made them his hoe,

He took all their teachings, used them for his attack, and like the day I left ya moms, he never came back,

You never got him back, never got even, and he's the reason Augy was screamin "Give me back my legions!"

Took your reaching and cut it off, so I'm sorry my lass, but Rome fell before they could ever get that Germanic ass,

 

That sensation's realization that these allegations you maken, are nothing more than machinations to cope with your laceration,

Your irritation, your twinge, the knowledge that makes you cringe, I opened up your ears and gave you a lyrical binge,

I gotta tear off your scabs so that you cannot diminish, the knowledge that Germans are the reason they're finished,

And now I'm finished, I'm done, it was fun, that's the worth. And ya best respect Germany, that's the place of my birth
