A/N: Part of my milestone celebration (drabble, my ass). Here’s another installment of the facm!verse. Thank you all for your love and support for this story so far, it really means so much to me. Gif made by @javier-pena​

The smell of food fills the air, wafting through the small apartment. The Game spins on the turntable, and you sway around the kitchen, humming along to the upbeat bassline of Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Tonight’s Wednesday, and that means dinner with Javi. Not that he ever really needs a special reason to stop by anymore. Javi spends more time here than he does at his own apartment. Almost every night, he can be found on your couch either watching TV with his head in your lap, or sifting through files with Steve. You’ve gotten so used to his random visits that you now leave an extra plate of food on the counter; and if he doesn’t show, you make Steve give it to him at the office.

Pedro, what are you doing? He's adorable.....

Okay so this photo has been floating around for a while

and maybe i had been seeing a different shot, because I never... I didn't notice...

Look at this sweet mans

Oh dear lord... thank you so much for posting this, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. It drives me nuts that pop culture will set a show/movie/book (well, maybe book(s), not entirely sure on that one,) in Ancient Greece, or maybe will just use the Greek names of the Gods, but Heracles will be called Hercules.

I also appreciate that you pointed out how the Greeks also used syncretism

Listen, this is a very specific topic to be iffy about, but for your knowledge, the Roman gods are not the Greek gods.

The Romans were big on syncretism (the combination of different forms of belief or intellectual thought) and the adoption of foreign gods. The Greek deities were known since very early periods via the Etruscan culture, which was heavily influenced by Greece since the middle of the 8th century BC because of trade routes as well as the Greek cultural potential and would come to be completely engulfed around the third century BC with the Roman-Etruscan wars, but just like you’d see the Romans claiming the Germanic tribes worshipped their own gods under different names (the Germania by Roman historian Tacitus, written around 98 AD), the same happened here, and the fusion wasn’t 100% accurate.

While in the case of Zeus and Jupiter, for example, it worked well, Venus is far more motherly and political than Aphrodite (as Mars is the Father of Rome via the myth of Romulus and Remus, Venus is Venus Genetrix, Venus the Mother, and the only time you’ll see Aphrodite being motherly is in… the Aeneid, a distinctively Roman piece), Mars is an agricultural god as well as the god of war and has way more political connotations than Ares (he was a member of the archaic Capitoline Triad), Mercury is far more linked with commerce than the more pastoral Hermes, and the list goes on. Apollo was imported directly and very early (a temple for him, the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, was erected in the city of Rome as early as 431 BC), thus keeping the name but undergoing a very distinct Romanization of his attributes and worship. Janus, Quirinus and Terminus were very important Roman gods which had no Greek equivalent.

Isis, for example, was worshipped as herself, equated with a number of deities in both the Greek and the Roman worlds and some of her methods of worship and symbolism were associated with the Virgin Mary. It’s a far more complicated scenario, babes, especially when you consider Alexander’s conquests and the expansion of Hellenistic culture as well as its contact with many other cultures.

Syncretism is way more complicated than “the Romans just stole the Greek gods and gave them different names, the uncreative fucks”. The traditional date for Rome’s foundation is 753 BC and the Western Roman Empire would last until 436 AD. That’s over a thousand years of conquest, trade and growing and shrinking territories, and none of these factors are likely to leave a religion unaltered.

Besides, the practice of religious syncretism is way older and more common than you’d expect. The Akkadians did it to Summerian deities a few thousand years before this especially after the conquest of Sargon of Akkad in 2340 BC (“Mesopotamia: the Sumerians”. Washington State University). The Greeks were doing much the same with the Roman pantheon itself (Dionysus of Halicarnassus and Plutarch use Greek names for Roman cult), with the Egyptian pantheon and with the Scythian pantheon (Herodotus in both cases, though the associations would outlive him, such as the case of Zeus/Amon).

So, no the Roman gods aren’t the plagiarized versions of the Greek gods, and I could defend this in front of a jury.

I second that

Not to be a slut but I wanna hold hands with Javier Peña.

DIN DJARIN SNORING DIN DJARIN SNORING DIN DJARIN SNORING

this is a very small detail but in the opening scene of ch14 when Din asks for the ball, he doesn’t actually grab it until Grogu offers it to him. like he waits patiently until the kid consents to give it to him before actually taking it, which is kind of remarkable because so many people don’t treat children like actual people, especially very young children, and don’t take their boundaries or desires seriously because children have very little way of enforcing them. and it’s like. this dude dressed head to toe in armour who kills people for money is very respectfully asking an infant to give up their toy for a moment and waits very patiently for him to offer it up willingly, and the baby DOES give it to him because this is very clearly an established boundary between them. Grogu knows Din will respect his wishes, even “trivial” ones like holding a ball, so he is okay with giving it to his dad because he trusts and loves him

Sooo, the other day I made a post about how much I'm in love with Lore Olympus then noticed that I misspelled something; so I edited it and when it said that the edited version was posted, I deleted what I thought was the original only to find out that it was still the same post😅😅😅.... So here's a shorter version of that post (since I can't remember what I originally said):

Sooo, Lore Olympus is my new favorite thing ever! I love Greek mythology, mythology in general is one of my favorite things but Greek mythology (well, technically it would be Greco-Roman mythology but I prefer the Greek versions) is probably my favorite, so Lore Olympus becoming a new obsession was pretty much a no-brainer. Hades and Persephone are so pure!! Zeus is every bit as much of an ass as he always is; Hera is Queen; dude-bro Poseidon is great; Artemis is great; Hecate is bestie; Eros is the best; Hermes is also the best; Cerberus is best dog... okay, I'll end my rambling there but seriously Lore Olympus is amazing!

Everyone look at Godzilla

Ares, Ares, Ares.... Why? Just why? Leave Persephone alone you butt monkey of the Gods...

First: while Ares is being gross, insensitive, and just terrible here; while Hades may not (or maybe is) Persephone's daddy, he most certainly is the fandom's daddy.

Second: Persephone speakin' the truth

O-oh... my heart!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So, in short: (squ)eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
