witchkylo:

being half native, i am beyond tired of this reoccurring theme. for all of you cryptid fans, the wendigo, thunderbirds, skinwalkers, etc. are NOT cryptids. they are a part of indigenous culture and are spirits/entities, and not anything like mothman. they are religious and cultural folklore, despite the fact that cryptozoologists try to classify them as cryptids. 

also, do not associate any non-indigenous oc’s with ANY spirits from native culture and folklore, as it is very insensitive (i.e. kylo ren wendigo, named “rendigo”) to the culture and considered white-washing. our culture, practices, and religion has already been stretched far and thin over the years. be respectful please.

i think my favorite thing about ovid’s metamorphoses (aside from being a great source for greco-roman myth) is the fact that, in the section about actaeon getting killed by his hunting dogs, ovid literally just. starts naming all of actaeon’s dogs. he names something like 35 dogs. roughly 17% of the section about actaeon is dedicated exclusively to naming his dogs (which, by the way, have names like whitey, barky, and spot) and i’d just like to say that ovid definitely has his priorities straight
