I’m getting genuinely emotional y’all don’t understand how ISOLATING it can be when cultural dress for most other Asian countries are popular and represented and Filipino clothing barely is, LET ALONE PRE-COLONIAL?!

I- 🥹

I hope to find the time and energy to fulfil my dream of making the clothes and dressing like this

Which are your favorite comics featuring clois?

Hello! Thank you so much for asking...there's no way I can keep this one short, please forgive me for that. I've read quite a lot of Superman comics (but not enough) and to minimize it to a catalogue has been far from my mind, and is thus gonna be-indeed, hard. So, without much ado-here goes:

Anonymous asked:

Do you have any favorite clois fics?

This is such a hard one to answer, but here is a very small sample of my favourites/rec list. Most of these authors have written multiple fics, so if you like any of these, please check out their other work. Also, I wasn't sure which 'version' of Clois you were interested in? So, I tried to pick a variety. Enjoy!

Thank you for the ask! I'm sorry it's taken me a few days to reply. I always have to think about these answers, because I've read a lot of Clois fic through the years, and I don't want to make these lists too ridiculously long.

ARES DOESN'T DESERVE THE HATE HE GETS. 10 REASONS WHY:
  1. Apart from being the god of war, he was also the god of generalship, manliness and civil order, which means that he was the god responsible for the correct function of every ancient city in order of laws and politics.
  2. As the god of manliness, he was considered to be the patron of a fine man that every man looked up to. He was a fighter, not only as a merit from being the god of war, but he always fought for his beliefs, just like at the Trojan War when he complained to Zeus about Athena's unfair action. Also, he was the best father to his children and always supported them and their mothers, just like Cycnus fighting with Heracles, or when Aeropos' mother died during childbirth and he made it possible for the baby to drink milk from his dead mother's body.
  3. He was the only greek god that never raped a woman. All his sexual encounters were consensual and he always seemed to respect his lovers, because he kept his private life low key and none of them suffered or were subjected to tortures, unlike Zeus' or Poseidon's lovers did.
  4. He was the god of dance. Legend has it that before he was taught how to fight, Priapos, his tutor, refused to teach him unless young Ares knew how to dance. Afterall, war is considered to be the ultimate dance a man could perform in ancient times. Also, he appeared to dance for his daughter's Armonia wedding with joy, leaving behind the animosity for her husband Cadmus. Finally, in the feasts of the Gods, it was said that Apollo played the lyre, while the Harites, Artemis, Hermes and Ares danced with great joy.
  5. He was a forgiving god. Despite his enraged and bloodthirsty behavior, Ares knew how to forgive someone and appreciated what they were doing to gain his trust. After Cadmus slaughtered the Dragon, he was put 8 years under servitude to indulge Ares. Finally, Ares not only forgave Cadmus for his crime, but he also blessed his wedding with his own daughter Armonia. Cadmus, in order to gratify the god, built the city of Thebes and made Ares its patron god.
  6. He wasn't a coward. Many greek myths refer to Ares' lack of courage to face danger. This is far from true. At the Trojan War, when he found out about Ascalaphus' death, he disobeyed Zeus' order with the risk of his immortal life in order to go to the battle amd avenge his son's death. He was later stopped by Zeus' thunderbolts. Also, when the Aloadai were about to take Olympus, he was the first god to interfere in battle in order to save Olympus. Afterall, one of his epithets was "Olympus' Protector".
  7. He was sentimental. At the Trojan War he was seen greaving for his children's loss and always wanted to inervene for their safety. Also, he understood the rejection of his parents towards him and he was a lonely god that lacked love. But he found the love he was seeking to Aphrodite, and did not only lust her, but he loved her deeply. Together they had 8 children, and both of them were jealous about each other's affairs, because of Adonis and Eos. They also had an open relationship, because he never refrained Aphrodite from her nature, which was love and sex. Afterall love is not meant to be given to only one person.
  8. He was the protector of women. When Hallirothios attempted to rape his daughter Alcippe, he flashed in the scene and brutally killed the rapist. From that moment on, a temple in Athens was built for Ares "Gynaikothoinas", which means the one feasted/worshipped by women.
  9. He knew the feeling of loss. A war has two sides, the winners and the defeated. A war isn't always to be won, and everyone must learn what it is to lose. He lost many wars, but he also won many. That's why he is among the Olympians.
  10. He was a god of justice. That is because he was referred to be "Themis' Ally", which means that he was a helper to the goddess of justice. One of his least famous daughters, Adrestia, was the goddess of balance, justice and retaliation. Also, "Areios Pagos" or aka "The hill of Ares" was named after him because he was the first man ever to be tried for substatial homicide, for slaughtering Alcippe' rapist.

Do you have any resources for researching Ares?

orsialos answered:

Khaîre!

Unfortunately there are little resources outside of some pretty hardcore academic theses and dissertations I have about Ares. Most of the surface level resources will focus on the war aspects of Ares, his role in the Iliad, and other rather generic and, in my opinion, stale understandings of who Ares is.

With that said, the following paper is easy to find online:

THE ORACLE AND CULT OF ARES IN ASIA MINOR - this was actually THE PAPER that threw me head first into the world of Ares as understood by the ancient Greeks living in Angolia,, specifically Pamphylia and Lycia.

Now, if those other academic resources interest you then please let me know!! I only have PDF copies of these papers; most of them were obtained from my consistent but courteous requests to the authors. Two are in German that I have yet to translate (with the help of a dear friend). As such I do not feel entirely ethical sharing them for anyone and everyone to see, but I do have a private Google Drive i am willing to share if you (and anyone else reading this) are a mutual. If we are not mutuals send me a message and we'll figure it out from there ☺️

(I also have research papers on other deities and aspects of Hellenic life as well - most of those were found through various sites online so I'm actually in the process of making a different Google drive fo those so anyone can access them.)

So I guess the long & short of it would be this: I have a very heavy academic and historical interest in Ares and as such have some really hard to obtain papers but not much else in the way of other resources. I will say searching through my post tagged #ares or #ares deity will have some little excepts and my thoughts on the things I've read. If a particular post calls to you please let me know and I can share more about that specific quote. Below are some posts that you may enjoy which help show the lesser known side of Ares. Sadly, I have yet to find an easily accessible book with any of this information. Who knows, maybe I'll go back to school one day and do it myself!

Ares as a city protector

Harmonia as a complement of Ares & Aphrodite

Bound Ares - a protective ritual

I hope this was maybe of some use to you? I'm sorry i don't have more resources to share about Ares - there's sadly not a lot about anything BUT his war aspects that is easily accessible. But, sometime in the next few months i do hope to out out a lengthy series detailing my findings from the theses & dissertations I have. I will try to remember to let you know when that series starts!

Ares in Mythology:

  • Kills the guy who tried to assault his daughter and refused to apologize for it when he got put on trial (it was ruled justifiable homicide by Athena btw). 
  • The only time he’d been captured in battle was when he was protecting his mom from being captured by giants who wanted to forcibly marry her.
  • Found and Freed Thanatos when he was imprisoned by Sisyphus when no other Gods could
  • Helps found the Amazons by helping their founder escape her abusive husband and becomes their patron God.
  • Genuinely loves and respects Aphrodite as her own person
  • One of his epithets is “feasted by women”.

Ares in Modern Media: 

  • Meatheaded sexist asshole out of an eighties teen movie.

Conclusion: My boy is getting done dirtier than Hades in modern representation. Ares is one of the least problematic Gods in the pantheon (except for the murders, I will grant you) and ya’ll are sleeping on him.

elizabeth bennet said "i can't fix him nor would I for a million dollars" and fitzwilliam darcy said "wait she thinks I need to be fixed? .... she's right, I've gotta work on myself and learn how to be more understanding and generous" and then he did. and elizabeth was like "shit.... he's so understanding and generous now.... makes me realize that my stubbornness and pride in my discernment are obstacles in the lives of myself and others" and then they got married and that's why pride and prejudice has been a bestseller for two hundred years

On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

And the real trick to it is falling madly in love with literally everything. Gomez Addams isn't just madly in love with Morticia, he's madly in love with his house, with his train set, with his kids, with his brother, with his weird normie neighbors, with literally everything. Different kinds of love for each, but love all the same. For having such morbid tastes, Gomez is madly in love with life. THAT'S how you land a Morticia, by being unapologetically and madly in love with everything around you.
