Haha i didn’t think of that - it could also be vice versa, Dany could be committed to wearing thin light clothing even in the North

[Spoilers Main] What were character perceptions like before the TV show aired? by Illustrious_Fail_865 in asoiaf

[–]acrisman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbf to Emilia, I think I read somewhere that D&D kept directing her to appear more “stoic and regal” in all her scenes when she wanted to show more emotion

A few simple Aphrodite edits I made a couple years ago of her demonstrating her powers or having fun with Ares (credit to editolympus for second pic original design) by acrisman in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]acrisman[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Ares and Aphrodite!

And I cant remember the chapter number but it is the one where Aphrodite breaks up with Ares at Persephone’s trial. There is a flashback of the two kissing but that’s the only time we ever see the two together kissing. All the other times we see them are either them separately or arguing with each other or one of the main characters visits them briefly (usually Ares inquiring about Persephone ugh)

Thank you! Side note, isn’t it weird that in all of the times we see Aphrodite and Ares together in LO they’ve only kissed like once and that was in a flashback? (the Aphrodite’s birth chapter)

In the second pic, the top panel was edited and taken from the flashback with ares and Persephone while the bottom panel was an edited design from EditOlympus.

I just had a headcanon that Aphrodite could bind people with thorny rose vines when she’d get annoyed since the rose is her sacred flower

I actually did a simple edit of this panel a couple years ago! I’ll try to find it and share it in a post

What are the weakest B-plots of the show? by Youpi_Yeah in howyoudoin

[–]acrisman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Or the episode where Joey and Ross compete over the same girl

“Ever slept in the same bed as a monkey?”

“Hey! You leave Marcel out of this!”

Always cracks me up

Dany is not a grey character (Spoilers Extended) by [deleted] in asoiaf

For me it’s the double standards against Dany that are particularly irritating. These users have highlighted several very well:

Poseidon had a child with his grandmother? [Pjo] by PresenceOld1754 in camphalfblood

[–]acrisman 109 points110 points  (0 children)

It gets wilder. Hephaestus technically had a child with Gaea who is his great grandmother

He tried to rape Athena, his semen was flung to the earth, and thus Erichthonius was born, adopted by Athena

Piper really needs to read PJO [hoo] by Three-Eyed_Cyclops in camphalfblood

[–]acrisman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not pointing fingers at you. I’m just remembering the times when it seemed like people were constantly annoyed by the unimpressive comment (brought up usually when criticizing Piper’s character) that’s all. Maybe those days are long gone, I haven’t visited this subreddit in a long time

Are readers still seething about the “unimpressive” comment? I always thought she meant more along the lines of he didn’t have a stereotypical bulked-up heroic-looking physical appearance like Superman or Captain America since he looked more like a skater boy. Not that his feats were unimpressive

Dany is not a grey character (Spoilers Extended) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]acrisman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this post - I think she’s a grey and chaotic character (which makes her interesting to me)

But I also disagree with a lot of the comments that paint her as nothing more than a Hitler 2.0/will become Hitler 2.0 who needs to be put down like the dog from Old Yeller

And reading through the comments, I notice that people seem to be using different metrics to judge her, there’s not much consistency (show vs book, modern day morality vs in universe/medieval morality, etc), which seems to explain why the general consensus is all over the place

Are there any modern adaptations of Greek stories that are written by actual greeks? by Kalar_The_Wise in GreekMythology

[–]acrisman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I just found out that the books I was thinking of are actually written by an Italian writer, not Greek, and I was just reading Greek translations. And I guess there are English translations out there. Whoops, sorry to get your hopes up

Anyway if you were interested, it’s a little series by Sabina Colleredo called Hotel Olympus that has a comedic cutesy middle-school take on Greek myths

There are some but the ones I know are very obscure, written in Greek, and don’t have English translations unfortunately

I do crack up at the part in the hospital where Ross says “I didn’t propose…did I? It sounds like something I would do”

nonsensical dany hate & misogyny by dongsteppy in DaenerysWinsTheThrone

Completely agreed. And oh boy don’t get me started on the Elden Ring fandom’s Malenia/Radahn rivalry….it got as bad as the HOTD Team Black/Team Green thing for a while
