Putting the Myth in Mythology part 02

[secondlina]

Mythology jokes will never die. Hilarious forever!

This one plays with the myth of Leda, who got to do it with Zeus in Swan-format, and also a little stab at poor Cassandra.

News wise. Well, I seem to be not sick anymore! But Link is. Tomorrow, i'm doing a late shift (noon to 8h30). Wednesday I plan to hang out with starmetal_oak ! :D I'm having a bit of trouble juggling seeing people. I want to have a nice social life, but drawing is so time consuming!

In Namesake news, the Launch date is fully set. October 5th is the day. Unless I break my arm or something horrifying happens. A few beta readers helped me and dqbunny  build a strong story and website... I really hope you guys like it! I'm excited and mortified at the same time!

A few of you might remember me talking about being dissatisfied at work. mostly because tech support felt a bit like a dead end for me. I tried looking around a bit and failed some interviews. I ended up talking to my boss and engaging plan "B". Plan "B" being, instead of leaving a job, discuss it and see if it's possible to move on up. Well, I got my annual evaluation today. People at my job like me. I earned some extra money as a bonus, which is nice, and also managed to get more responsibilities, mostly with marketing rather then tech support. So, good news for me. I can rest easy and not worry so much about jobstuff for now. I'm willing to give these new responsibilities the old college try. In part because this job has a lot of nice things (I like the people and the flexibility) and also because I despise looking for work and starting new jobs. Hey, stress away from work is stress I can invest in my art life instead. Wee.

In any case. Time for bed. :D

Isa doing good.

Zeus: Justifying men betraying their significant other since forever!

Seriously though, Zeus was all kinds of messed up. Of course I have to wonder about ancient Greeks who would want to have sex copulate with a swan. A swan! (Clash of the Titans even showed him approaching his victim as an eagle. What. The. Heck.)

Eat broccoli. Always eat that broccoli. (And see, there you go again sucking away your time. What am I going to do with you?)

Zeus wasn't that bad. Back in the day, he was part of daily rituals and all. Nowadays, all we have left of the culture is the mathematics and crazy mythology so of course we think he's weird.

Basically imagine that Christianity was a dead religion. And that only the stranger tales from the bible survived. It's about the same.

It was a terrible joke. Greek gods are still my favorite of the so called "dead" religions. Besides, Zeus was far better than Diana. She...was seriously twisted.
