I am attempting to devote myself to Hellenism and potentially Kemeticism, specifically toward Apollo and Sekhmet respectively, so this may be a journal of sorts toward that exploration. I have a double degree in Classical Studies and Zoology/ Evolutionary Biology. My main hobbies are drawing, writing, and learning to play my bass guitar. Minors, please be aware that I may include NSFW topics such as petplay in this blog. Tread with caution! I'm also an otherlinker/ potential therian! My linktypes are: Domestic canary Dawn glow fox (farmed)/ kitsune- type fox spirit? Peahen Lioness My other blog that I've had for years is https://www.tumblr.com/blog/luxcanaryfox, where I primarily engage in fandom and post my art/ accept art commissions. But I will post relevant art and accept art commissions here as well!

Introduction

Hi!

I'm Emily, or Lux, and I hold a double degree in classical studies and zoology/ecology. I use my other account to engage in fandom, so here's where I want a fresh, clean space to post about Apollo/ Greek deities in general, and post about my favourite animals. Don't worry, I'm an experienced Tumblr user lol. WARNING: I do not intend to be safe for work all the time; minors, be aware this may not be an appropriate place for you.

Please feel free to message me or commission art from me, I won't bite (much)!

I keep thinking about little Dionysus being raised with satyrs in the woods and having no idea he's any different from them.

Trans and intersex people in the UK need you to be loud and angry about the new "deception as to sex" guidance released which makes trans and intersex people legally guilty of rape if we don't disclose our gender identity and/or the sex we were assigned at birth to sexual partners.

This is particularly going to harm trans and intersex sex workers, who often have a higher number of sexual partners who we might keep our trans or intersex identity from for our safety.

Apollo, who is the leader of the Muses, once asked Zeus to give him the power of foresight, so that he could be the best oracle. Zeus agreed, but when Apollo was then able to provoke the wonder of all mankind, he began to think that he was better than all the other gods and he treated them with even greater arrogance than before. This angered Zeus (and he was Apollo's superior, after all). Since Zeus didn't want Apollo to have so much power over people, he devised a true kind of dream that would reveal to people in their sleep what was going to happen. When Apollo realized that no one would need him for his prophecies any more, he asked Zeus to be reconciled to him, imploring Zeus not to subvert his own prophetic power. Zeus forgave Apollo and proceeded to devise yet more dreams for mankind, so that there were now false dreams that came to them in their sleep, in addition to the true dreams. Once the people realized that their dreams were unreliable, they had to turn once again to Apollo, the original source of prophetic divination.

I think a lot of the reason there's not been a ton of big solarpunk-style media is because it's inherently utopian and that leads to a real lack of conflict. Which is a shame that there's not a lot, because I LOVE how Solarpunk looks! But A lot of it is very big-scale from what I've seen; theorizing about ways man can integrate technology with nature, but not really what man is actually doing after that. What are the kinds of lives people would live in a solarpunk city? Surely actual human stories don't simply end because a lot of our needs are met. There's gotta be something!!
