Adoration of

Selene's Wisdom

Latin:

O dea Selene, lucis et noctis regina,

Te adoro sub caelis serenitate divina.

Tua dona, intuentia et sapientia,

In cor meum descendat, tua potentia.

Adintra me, Selene, in tenebras mentis meae,

Ut lumen tuum inveniam, per teque laetor beae.

Sub caelo stellato tuae noctis clare,

Da mihi sapientiam, in lumine tuae lunae.

English:

O goddess Selene, queen of day and night,

I worship you under the divine celestial light.

Your gifts of intuition and wisdom, so pure,

Descend into my heart, your power to endure.

Enter within me, Selene, the depths of my mind,

So I may find your light and be joyously aligned.

Beneath the starry sky of your radiant night,

Grant me wisdom in the glow of your moon's light.

here's a list of affirmations in Latin dedicated to the Greek goddess Selene, along with their English translations:

i sing to thee, poseidon — o lord of the everdark waters — to him who moves the earth, who feeds from the fruitless sea,  o savior, helper, destroyer, & god — i sing  to thee. give me the heart to look upon  the storm ; give grace to my feet, let me  step through upon unbroken water & let the earth tremble with your strength. lord  of the sea — vast and endless is your glory as radiant as sunlight through gentle tides ;  bless me to be as foam upon the waters —  spray upon the wind — my boat unshattered and constantly sailing towards your sharp horizons —

I’m going to name my twins Rugrat-One and Rugrat-Two because it’s not illegal and it would make everyone they ever meet giggle

I feel like this season of the boys should’ve abbreviated a lot of its content thus far. We have two more episodes and the only important material that’s come out is a basic evil plan that’s only begun to be explained through. We better be seeing major character deaths left right and center by this last episode.

Analyzing The Abilities of Characters From The Boys Pt. VI

🐍Zoe Neuman🐍

Zoe, growing up in both a multiethnic and affluent home, is both marginalized and privileged in a myriad of ways. Her ethnicity, along with her mother’s, is never acknowledged outright on the show. For all we know, the directors could have cast white actresses for the both of them and the core of my analysis would be null and void, but I believe the fact they aren’t white provides a certain layer of tragedy to Zoe’s character in particular.

Going off of personal experience in uppity East Coast spaces, Zoe’s presumably one of few ethnic children in her social circle. While she’s debatably white passing, this would undoubtedly have led to numerous instances of her facing prejudice and most likely teasing of various kinds.

This is where her unique ability of generating snake-like tentacles from her mouth presents itself. Her being injected as a preteen means her body analyzed her current surroundings and decided what she needed most at this stage in her life was some form of aggressive defense that could come from her mouth. This most likely resulted from her being mocked, teased, harassed, or discriminated against, and wishing there was a way her “sharp tongue” could actually cut them. Now with these serpents that expel themselves from her mouth, she’s capable of holding her own against anyone who wishes to insult or berate her.

Her being subjected to Red River felt like karmic irony, Victoria injecting her in adolescence* because she decided having any ability at all would be better than being powerless. I’ve mulled over this decision from Vicky, but ultimately settled on it being near sighted and power hungry on her end. She knew full well that Compound V resulted in the death of her own parents, and could very well have given Zoe a disastrous mutation, if not killing her in a long, drawn out body horror scenario. Even Stan Edgar was repulsed and horrified at the idea that Victoria would stoop so low as to inject Zoe with V, which put the gravity of the situation into perspective.

Vicky additionally knew that, while she was getting herself tangled up in Vought and Homelander, that her life was on the chopping block, and if she died, Samir wouldn’t be able to fend off Firecracker, let alone all of Vought’s forces. This would, assuming Homelander didn’t execute her daughter, land Zoe in the same place Vicky ended up after the death of her parents, which is exactly what happened.

While this seemed unfair at first, I saw it more so as a cautionary tale of what corruption does to a person. Vicky wasn’t satisfied with what she had, and strived for absolute power at the expense of her daughter’s well being. The shift from a loving mother willing to give her child the world to a power hungry tyrant injecting her daughter with a potentially lethal drug to turn her into a #girlboss didn’t happen randomly. I can imagine every thought that went through Vicky’s head as she decided to this to Zoe, especially explaining away the consequences as trivial costs to her daughter’s safety.

My response to that, aside from it not panning out how Victoria intended, is to look no farther than Kris Jenner with Kim Kardashian. In both mother-daughter duos a power/money hungry mother mutates/exposes her child all in the name of giving her a “better life” at the cost of robbing her of her agency and ultimately her humanity. Society blames Kim for perpetuating beauty standards, all of which were thrust upon her by a mother who just wanted a bigger mansion.

*The horror of Vicky’s decision stems mostly from the fact that the older you are, the worse the mortality rates/negative mutations are with V injections. Stan and Vicky already knew this, and it’s why people were contemplating whether Ashley would die at the end of S4 or not. Babies appear to be more malleable, and while some gain adverse mutations, they’re hardly ever lethal, and may even be tailored to Vought’s liking (so it seems).*
