So... um... John really does have the Chronic Hero Syndrome; it was not an act or an effort. Considering how the god tier conditional mortality works, that doesn't look too good for him.

And I start to ship Karkat <> Dave really hard. My brain is practically full of Karkat <> Dave AUs now. But I can't even write them out because of that stupid New Year Resolution thing.

I'll just go watch more photos of plump pigeons or something. Cute green pigeons. Bird porn can sooth my berserk brain.

The fact that Gold mentioned Silver's name individually during the rescue-them-from-being-statues arc in PokeSpe (I know it's called the Emerald Arc, but I didn't read it for Emerald) was... could it be ship tease? Gold Silver forever orz

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest slash fiction in humanity's history.

Long story short:
A part-god, part-human, all mortal king named Gilgamesh was this huge douchebag who made everybody's life hard. So the gods decided to make someone who's his equal to distract him and generally give him something to do. So the gods made Enkidu out of soil and mud. Blablahblah. Enkidu and Gilgamesh met. They fought and fell in love from the awesome fighting. Blablablah. Gilgamesh decided that they have fun together by killing sacred beings, which isn't a good idea. Blahblablah. Gilgamesh's mom gathered them before they go to bless them and practically adopts Enkidu.

Oh, did I mention that before Enkidu's arrival, Gilgamesh had a prophetic dream and his mom told him that the axe in his dream represents the arrival of the person Gilgamesh will love the most in his life. Seriously, that mom's a yaoi fan goddess there.

Apparently not all versions of the tale were that slashy, so some of the scribes must have been slash fans.

Yeaaaaah that. Also the whole "let me leave my hand on yours for several moments while handing you a bracelet", and his feral snarl when Guile baited him about Silver.


... I love mythology. I always thought people who study ancient civilisations and culture are in it for the sex and drugs, because sometimes it looks like that's most of what mythology's made of.
And gods yes now I see the parallels.
