You know how white people urban fantasy always center the Christian god or whatever? I'm chuckling about that time I implied in my urban fantasy that (in my version, a lesbian) the Chinese god Houyi is the basis of Apollo myths and Chang'e is the basis of Artemis.

But in Apollo and Artemis' case they absolutely were *not* fucking, because Artemis despised the company of men Ironically, in this case you took a story and made it less lesbian

I basically wrote it that the Greeks were so misogynistic they couldn't perceive a butch Chinese archer god as a woman; she finds the part about dolphins confusing.

I mean my mom always said she believed the version of the story where Chang'e steals the potion and flies to the Moon by herself because Houyi was just a shitty husband As opposed to the more romantic variants
