Y’ALL

So, according to Tessa and Michael, there was a graphic sex scene in Creed II between Adonis and Bianca (Michael’s idea) and Steven (the director) went through with it, but the film crew said no because “they didn’t know it was THAT kind of movie.” We were ROBBED y’all. ROBBED. Hopefully they put it in the deleted scenes. Also Michael said the following to Tessa fjsbdjsbdn

Thread I posted on my Twitter regarding people slandering Michael for seeking help from a therapist after playing Killmonger. People are so sick.

1) He isn’t “weak” for going to a therapist

2) Even if you didn’t think he did a good job as Killmonger, that doesn’t invalidate his feelings/emotions

3) Again, regardless of if you thought he didn’t do great as Killmonger, he still had to go to a dark place filled with nothing but pain and turmoil in order to portray Erik, who is nothing like Michael in real life.

Y’all will literally find any reason to hate this man, whether it be because of who he decides to date or his decision to seek out therapy due to feeling depressed. He does nothing to anybody and it isn’t fair that he’s met with such criticism.

Anyway, I just needed to get this off my chest.

I was super excited to do this one, as I knew it would be full of dark drama. Ares; god of war, courage, and …civil order? (huh, who knew?) Here we have our raging, wrathful deity unleashing his fury in the bloodlust of battle. His sacred weapons glittering; the golden helmet, spear and shield.

Let’s dive into the symbolic imagery. I put a boar head icon on the shield to symbolize Ares turning into a boar and gorging the youth Adonis to death, after being jealous of the youth’s affair with Aphrodite. The serpents are creatures associated with Ares: the Colchian dragon (which guards the golden fleece in the sacred grove of Ares- from the Jason and the Argonauts myth) and the Ismenian dragon (which guards the sacred spring of Ares near Thebes)  

Flying above Ares shoulder is his daughter, the goddess of Victory, Nike. In the upper right are vultures, animals associated with Ares, and his sister Eris; goddess of discord. (the goddess who, unable to enter the banquet of the gods, threw in the golden apple inscribed “for the farest” causing strife for the women and ultimately bringing Paris into judge, as a precursor to Helen and the Trojan war). 

Galloping into battle below are three Scythian Amazon warrior women, the leader being Ares daughter; Queen Penthesilea, (who Achilles killed in battle at Troy and fell in love with her as she lay dying.)

Hope you all are enjoying this series. Please share this post, it would really help me get exposure. :) and dont forget my etsy store has all the prints available to purchase.
