Edit: I know there are already black gods and goddesses in mythology native to Africa. And I’d love to explore those characters and their personalities. Like many bookworms, I loved Greek mythology when i was younger and I thought it’d be cool to cast them with black people in the roles to celebrate blackness. Plus, greek mythology has been interpreted and reinterpreted in so many many ways. And let’s face it: they’re gods. They can look however they want and baby: black is beautiful 🤷🏾‍♀️

A short story about Persephone’s myth that I wrote this summer.

Norse mythology fails to convey the sense of terror that must have hung over Asgard every time Loki was gone for longer than eight months and three weeks

#okay but imagine the betting pool #is it gonna be half undead?#horse with too many legs?#a giant fuck off snake?#who knows! ( @much-ado-about-mothing)

Loki, holding up the newest baby Lion King-style: IT’S!!!!! A WOLF!!!”

underneath the rock: *dozens of creatures from all over Nine Realms muttering quietly, exchanging money*

“Why does Tumblr romanticize Hades so much?”

Idk Clarice, maybe we’re just tired, and life is uncertain, and we like the idea of a stable husband with a steady job and a big dog and his own place away from all the loud, shapeshifting-kink party gods.

Nordic mythology is so fucked up.

I was reading Hammer of Thor and this story was referenced and i just ran across this and honestly i can’t think of anything else

ok but don’t leave out the part where Thor almost gives himself away by eating the entire reception buffet and Loki’s like “errrr she’s been dieting”

this is one of the myths that still enjoys great popularity in scandinavia and it’s easy to see why

usually-confused:

People who make hades the bad guy and only unattractive god in a movie are cowards, its 2018, it’s time to grow up and blame zeus for everything
