thoodleoo:

“no offense but why would you follow dionysus if that means you have to party in the woods” “why wouldn’t you?”

*after learning about the chimera*“dude what you can’t be a lion AND a goat AND a dragon that’s too many”

“in fairness, if apollo wanted to date me, i’d turn into a tree too”

“she can’t be his wife, she’s his sister” “that didn’t stop zeus”

*after learning medusa gave birth to pegasus” “OUCH????”

“is there anybody zeus didn’t get pregnant”

“like seriously i had to make a mythology family tree for english class and it’s literally all zeus”

“hera’s kind of a jerk” “dude she literally threw her kid off a mountain because he was too ugly what did you expect

“why is everything about horses”

“oh, he starts eating people! typical”

“so basically you shouldn’t ever interact with a bull in ancient greece ever”
