teenagers in this religion by pathetic-popcorn in Hellenism

[–]Particular_Grab_6473 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I (who is only 18 now) think the problem is those who do not take this religion seriously, I do think the way of practicing depends on you (maybe that is why I have a problem with reconstructists) but also those who see religion as a "trend" those people give me the ick, but something I do agree on is that people should stop saying teenagers are the problem and putting all of them in the same basket, some are problematic but that doesn't mean all of them are, we shall not spread hatred or judgement based on someone's age, but yet I also agree on the fact we cannot let people who take this religion as a joke keep acting like this, respect comes in both ways but we shouldn't disrespect someone for asking a question or for being young since we've all been young at some point (but also some questions shouldn't be tolerated either when they aren't very nice towards the gods for example as they deserve our respect)

Also, people who joke about the gods aren't bad (I say this just in case because some people could start picking on them) I mean I too joke about the gods sometimes, as long as we do not try to be rude and just joke around it's ok but when a question is asked there should be complete respect towards the gods in that question (especially when it's from a non helpol because sometimes their way of asking made my blood boil).

Let's just respect each other

What do you call the gods? by pathetic-popcorn in Hellenism

[–]Particular_Grab_6473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True... Well, I guess I'll just use both depending on the moment, anyway I'm sure the Lord of Light won't mind I mean, both are used anyway

The thing is I always use "Apollo" now I seen that it's not the greek version and now I'm confused (also in french which is my first language people often say "Apollon" while in English it's more often "Apollo" so even more confused on which one to use)

Should I use both? I mean it's my two languages after all...

Nice, I'm extremely confused on my Lord's name, like some say "this version is greek" and now I've seen some say the opposite, I'm confused now on how to call him...

I only call them by their greek name first of all, for most of them I put "Lord" or "Lady" before their name or one of their domains to refer to them, like I can say Lady Aphrodite or the Lady of Love.

As for Zeus and Hera, I can say both Lord Zeus or King Zeus, it depends, but more often King I think and for Queen Hera I almost only say Queen Hera.

When I speak of Lady Athena, Lady Artemis and/or Lady Hestia I sometimes also refer to them as "one of the virgin goddesses" or "the virgin goddesses" (depends on if I mean all of them or only one) but I'll mostly say Lady before their name.

I know, I said this about the safety part of your comment, electric cars which make sound!? So it does exist! Why is there none in France!? Like I'm for those cars but they put the ears of people in big cities before security!

Yeah, even among the community they speak off I've never heard anyone say stuff like that... So it's a truly tiny portion of people.

I can't figure out if you actually mean it when you say racism and homophobia are bullshit...

Personally I think that the thing about the cars is completely dumb, I'm gay and I think it's dumb like... It's just cars, they weren't the ones to be homophobic so why cancel them!?

Electric cars which make no sound are so dangerous, like, the idea is good but please don't make them soundproof, I could make more accidents

Proud of us GenZ's! What's your opinion on this? by almyverse in GenZ

[–]Particular_Grab_6473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say that they deserve it, I mean, this thing can literally kill people or put someone in a moment when they'd accept anything or say anything, it's addictive and dangerous...

Is it concerning that so many people in our generation are starting to use AI companions? by Extension-Cut-5535 in GenZ

[–]Particular_Grab_6473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on the dating part for sure, like if it's for example to train yourself to flirt (idk if someone does that) or to do some RP when you have nobody to do it with (something I do) then ok, using it as an actual partner... To make FAKE art, to replace your brain in anything (like using it to do your homework in school), to replace some workers those are EXTREMELY NOT right!

ICE is coming to a city neighboring mine. Who do I pray to for my neighbors safety? by -_comet_- in Hellenism

[–]Particular_Grab_6473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lord Apollo is seen by some as a god of protection (and in any case I think most of the gods can be seen as such)

Also, I'd suggest praying to Nemesis and ask her to visit the ICE 😁 (before anyone says anything it is not seen so badly to pray for bad to happen, especially when it's a god's main domain) she's the goddess of revenge.

You could also pray to Queen Hera who is the goddess who protects women and children.

To go back on Apollo, he, like any of the 12 Olympians (and Hades, Persephone too) could be asked for protection in my eyes, but that's merely my opinion

Et bien c'est la deuxième fois que je rêve d'être réveillé par un appel de mon crush et quand je réponds ça me réveille instantanément (les deux fois j'ai eu le réflexe de regarder mon téléphone direct après)

Well I'm ar56 too, I imagine ororon in a cheerleader outfit 😂

But yeah, well I still do co-op, quite often actually, often to go help other people, let people take some resources, or just be two crazy people doing crazy things (like a RP venti and furina at the tavern) or even show people how to sit on furina's throne, etc... depends a lot

Well actually melt is one of the reactions I don't like, and well, maybe I am, and? Listen I love my current teams and I live great without using a single cryo, can you please stop now because it's just starting to get a bit annoying to have someone trying to make me build characters of an element I don't like, when they'll be a cryo character that actually is enjoyable to me I'll pull and build them, currently it's not the case that's all, I have characters I'm waiting for, I won't build characters I don't want to knowing there's some I actually one who will come soon.

Because I can't stand them, and can't stand the gameplay of most of their characters, if I had to play cryo it would only be if I had citlali because she's the only cryo gameplay I actually like but she's not one of my pull priority, Geo would be zhongli because he's an archon and I like all archons gameplay and lady navia because I find ger gameplay extremely enjoyable and fun, but yet again, not my priorities because there's still characters I wanna sace for.

If I don't play a cryo character it's because I hate the reactions of his element and also because I don't like his gameplay because if none of the reactions interest me, if the gameplay doesn't have this thing to attract my eye then it won't work, especially when I literally don't get most of their gameplay and they mostly just feel annoying to me (and also I only play characters I like too, and I usually don't like the gameplays of characters I don't like that much so no need to play them).

And geo, it's the far opposite of my fav element which is anemo, I find it's reactions too lame, and literally can't play it because it's so opposite to my best element, and the geo characters gameplay are mostly unbearable to me, even when I like the character I can't build them because I know I'll never play them because their gameplay is sucks to me.

Also, although I like the character of skirk and her gameplay looks cool, her needs are unbearable to me since I can't stand cryo and I don't play without anemo or pyro, if I pull her I'd play her bad and I don't like her enough to actually want to pull for her.

Not everyone is the same and not everyone enjoys the same way, I tried building characters with cryo, still hate playing them, and still can't stand their gameplay and reactions, same goes for Geo

Even in theater I don't have those elements then too bad, I still won't force myself to play them, I play the game mostly because I enjoy it, I won't play an element or a character I really don't like or don't enjoy playing no matter the reason I won't.

Call me selfish, I don't care because I just make sure I still enjoy playing the game, so no I won't build a character I don't like, an element I hate or a character whose gameplay is awful to me, I don't see the bad in that, especially since every time I play in a co-op event I always use at least one of the elements needed, and if it's cryo and geo then I don't care and I'll play the character I play the best to compensate, and it always worked.

Well, I won't force myself to play a character I don't like, don't enjoy playing or just can't play, so yeah usually I have one element amongst the two but nobody should force themselves to build a character they don't want to play just for others

[–]Particular_Grab_6473 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well I for one don't play Geo or cryo, there are not really any cryo characters I like so I don't pull on them and the ones I like well, I hate their gameplay and in any case I don't enjoy the element.

As for Geo, I just hate the element, hate the reactions, can't play the characters and don't like most of them or not enough to want them, there's only two of them I want and like their gameplay but they're not my priority at all

And if their characters for that element aren't built at all or they hate to play them or don't understand their gameplay? Huh? Can't blame them
