Am i gay because i’m obsessed with greek mythology or am i obsessed with greek mythology because i’m gay? Tune in next week to find out

girl i saw someone on tiktok talking about the whole “christianity just stole their story from the ancient egyptian’s religion” and at one point the dude said that horus and jesus would’ve had the same birthday and ugh its so stupid cause the egyptians didn’t even have the same calendar as us, how did that even come to be?

Ohhh that old bullshit. The whole thing is bullshit as Egyptians don’t even seem to have documented birthdays, but I digress. It makes a mockery of both Egyptian religion, and Christianity, and I usually see it touted by a certain type of atheist as a ‘gotcha’. I don’t know where it came from, but it seems to have been around for a long while, much like the Ishtar/Easter thing which is equally bullshit. It usually stems from people who want to actively discredit someone’s religious beliefs by ‘oh you guys just stole everything from X religion’ so by extension you’re an idiot. None of the things listed as similarities are even true:

Virgin birth? Nope Isis and Osiris banged to get Horus. Admittedly postmortem as a bird and a reassembled dead guy, but it was definitely sex. Plus the Egyptians didn’t believe in virginity.

Same birthday? Even Jesus’ birthday isn’t December 25th. Egyptians don’t have birthdays, and gods certainly don’t. Feast days, sure. Not birthdays.

Born in a cave, heralded by a star? Nope. Horus was born and grew up amongst Papyrus reeds to hide from Seth who was trying to kill him because Seth was ‘king’

Horus was baptised? Lol no. Egyptians have no such thing

12 disciples? Nope. He did have 4 sons though

Performed miracles and exorcised demons? Well he can do miracles…he’s a god. But demons? Not really unless you deal with duat stuff. Even then it’s not exorcising them. The most documented thing he killed was a Hippo in a boat race with Seth. 

Horus referred to as a Holy Child? ahahahahaha that’s not even a phrase in the Egyptian language. Great god is, but not ‘holy child’. There is ‘divine child’ but that refers to any child of the gods, and also the pharaoh. 

Horus was crucified and resurrected? NOPE. It’s literally forbidden in Egyptian religion to talk about or portray a god dying or being dead. Even Osiris, who is a resurrected dead guy, isn’t referred to as being dead. Horus doesn’t die in any mythology, though I should note that in Egyptian religion gods *can* die. 

So y’know. It’s all bullshit. Elements and motifs of previous religions can make their way into newer religions purely due to the gradual change from old to new over the centuries. Some things just hold over. Is the ‘divine mother and child’ motif unique to either Christianity or Egyptian religion? Nope. Does that invalidate either of them? Also nope. Cultures can have similarities without them having ‘copied’ from each other. 

so on this post @an-absolute-failure tagged this:

and like??? YES???? I KNOW IT WAS ONLY A JOKE BUT IM KINDA INVESTED IN MY HEAD NOW

mcyt hairdresser au:

• dream team and sleepy bois are opposing hairdressers om the opposite side of the same street

• and in the beggining like objectively dream team does better cuts then sbi but like the sleepy bois just have such good atmosphere n the people who work there are nice so why the hell not?

• dream cuts hair so fucking quick. like bro why are you in a rush? chill. he still does a good job somehow

• george is a bit less confident in his abilities and is very methodical

• sapnap is younger than the other two and is almost like an apprentice to them but hes so good in customer service

• sleepy bois started out as phil and wilbur doin their thing

• wilbur does most of the actual haircuts n phils the manager

• but then they get this job interview with this hipster lookin ass 20 something year old with bright fucking pink hair and a mask with a pig snout on it because of course he does

• he obviously gets hired because how is that mans resume even possible??? hes barely an adult???

• after techno gets hired sbi's reviews suddenly spike and business is booming

• half because technos a tryhard and half because he looks like a hot shonen protagonist

• along with wilbur. wilbur was the main reason people became regulars

• dream and techno kinda have a friendly rivalry now but theyre both secretly rlly invested and has bets for literally everything. some random rich guy bet 100k to whoever could get the best customer satisfaction

• dream teams manager is bbh. obviously

• bads basically a father figure to sapnap. theyre adorable

• sap cant work all the time tho bc he has school tomorrow

• eventually sbi is stable enough that they could get some apprentices

• they hire these two teenagers because why the fuck not? theyll grt good experience

• turns out the two already know eachother and now they have this awful (amazing) power duo of over caffeinated sixteen year olds.

• tommy. how the fuck did he even get hired?? he literally threatens to stab customors with the scissors. hes stuck sweeping the floor

• youd think tubbo is much better but,,, not realllyyy hes only barely more trusted with scissors and doesnt shout at people (as much). hes a receptionist and is very passionate

• but the techno, wilbur n phil are already emotionally attached theyre legally obliged to keep them

aaand that is The End of my ramblings for now. please add if u wanna hdksjfks

todoroki made this post

Okay so hear me out

pov: elf hyunjin leads you away somewhere

what i said: this thing you’re saying makes me uncomfortable and i’d like you to stop

what my family heard: 

the name of the fic my amigo?

Okay so I know this was a while ago, but I was reading a fanfiction with kamishin that kept describing Kaminari as small, and I was kinda confused because I didn’t remember Kaminari being that much smaller than any of the other guys. But then I looked up The Picture, and

HES FUCKING TINY COMPARED TO SHINSOU OH MY GOD!!!

bunch of stalker scientists found me in my cave

Hold still. This creature was recorded going 2,569 days without moving.

Salamanders play the long game, with many species living surprisingly long lives. But among these enduring amphibians, there is one outlier – the olm, also known as the proteus.

It has been well documented that these small white cave-dwelling salamanders can live well into their hundreds, but scientists have now gained new insight into the creatures’ glacial pace of life.

In a study which makes sloths look recklessly hyperactive, divers documenting the movements of olms in Herzegovinian caves found that over a decade, individuals tended to move less than 10 metres in total.

However, one extraordinarily inert individual was found not to have bothered moving once in over seven years.

Olms have no predators, are highly resistant to starvation – able to go without food for several years – are blind and live in complete darkness underground and underwater.

They are apparently only compelled to move in order to mate, which they do on average around once every 12.5 years.

In the caves in which they dwell food is typically scarce, but when they are able, olms feed on small crustaceans such as small shrimps, snails and occasionally insects.
