Will Respost That On My Side Account Too Because It Is To Be Said On Both 😭 - Blog Posts

lets clear up a misconception!

Yes, you can like a retelling of a deity.

No, you can not incorporate that retelling into your worship.

We cant control what we find attractive. we're humans, we're complex.

For example, I am down bad for these three characters from Hades:

characters are Zagreus, Hypnos, and Moros respectively

What does this mean? It means I find these characters attractive, be it personality wise, or they're attractive, or I have gender envy. However I do not love the actual deities themselves.

mind you this is how they actually look like. except Moros is a drawing I saw on reddit because for the life of me, I cant find a statue.

So shaming someone for finding a character loosely inspired by a deity is flawed and very not okay.

And yes some people (usually not helpol) do simp for the deities. I've seen someone draw ship art of them and Apollon. and that's.. fine really! again, we cant control who we find attractive (and they did it respectfully.)

Separate the deity from the story, do the same for the media. Zeus is not the same in Hercules 1997, but he's not the same in that myth either. Hermes is not the same in Percy Jackson, but he's not the same in the odyssey either. Hypnos is not the same in Hades, but he's not the same in the Iliad either.

Be respectful.
