put that hot topic spider punk merch down immediately and get out your diy supplies or i swear to god
lbr he (and i) would get a lot of glee from seeing marvel and sony and any company they partnered with gain absolutely 0 dollars in merch sales from one of the most popular characters in their movie because his fans opted to cobble together their own merch or commission directly from artists
I hope Barbie is so good and successful it makes every executive that’s turned everything bright and fun made for young girls into edgy boring teen dramas for the last ten years spontaneously combust into flames
In many versions of the Sisyphus story he’s punished in the underworld and Thanatos goes to pick him up in the first place because he’s made a habit of murdering his guests. And in that case, yeah. Gross violation of the rules of hospitality. Terrible manners. He had it coming.
But. In some versions he gets punished because Zeus was trying to steal a nymph and turned himself into a rock in Sisyphus’ backyard to hide from the nymph’s dad and Sisyphus told on Zeus so the dad could go beat him up and get his daughter back. And in that particular version of the story Sisyphus did nothing wrong. I think we all want to punch Zeus.
My favorite version is when Thanatos comes for Sisyphus who upon opening the door immediately ambushes and knocks out Death himself, and keeps him locked under his bed.
I like when Thanatos makes the mistake of having a chat with Sisyphus first and Sisyphus is like “Oh man Thanatos are those chains of death actually unbreakable? I thought that was impossible? I’ll bet if anyone could break out it’s you because you’re so strong and all”
And Thanatos. Frickin. Falls for it. And lo and behold. They are unbreakable. Good job, buddy.
Also the only reason anybody noticed Thanatos was missing was because Ares stopped for a second and was like. Hey. Have any of you noticed that nobody is dying. In this war?
You can say a lot about Ares. And you should. But. He was the only person with the awareness to be like hey I don’t think it’s normal for people to be walking around with their heads off and all their blood gone. Logically doesn’t this mean that somethings happened to Thanatos?
jason todd reads classics & damian wayne reads warrior cats and they’re both constantly beefing with jason acting like he’s all high & mighty and damian explaining every single plot line in warrior cats to convince him that warrior cats can be sophisticated, like there’s “racism & heaven and hell & a complex religion & class structure” and jason always responds with “they’re talking cats”
And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.
I wrap this blessing around you like a shroud, so that no ill can find you, and every warmth is held close
