Astaroth

Astaroth is such an asshole. This one time he borrowed my Tropic Thunder DVD and didn't return it until October. Also, there was this one time when he kept on calling me a pussy 'cos I wouldn't go to Six Flags with him, but he ended up crying the whole time through the roller coaster. And don't forget that one time when we went camping and he shat inside our tent the entire time.

Man, I hate Astaroth.

Astaroth/Ishtar/Tanith is a she, dude. Maybe there was some kind of botched body transfer or something, but...

No, no, the Goetic demon. Not the Egyptian goddess.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-02 13:26:48

Babylonian goddess. Also the Goetic demon is basically a corruption of said deity, so the argument could be made that the demon should logically be female. Or at least a hermaphrodite or something.

Alduin · 2013-05-02 13:40:04

Don't look too female to me.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-02 13:46:36

Mignola is not Goetic canon!

Awesome, but not canon.

Alduin · 2013-05-02 13:48:04

Shit, so I was hanging out with a GIRL the entire time?

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-02 13:48:56

Yes.

Yes, you were.

I feel so beta right now. I should have totally picked up on her advances when I woke up to a steaming pile of demon feces in my face. Now I'm friendzoned for life!

Rereading the OP imagining Ishtar doing all these things somehow makes more sense.

Shame about the friend zone thing. She's a fertility god.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-02 17:35:38

However if she walked around looking like this:

Instead of this:

I probably wouldn't be very receptive to her advances either.

While we're on the topic, if more modern day cults involved sacred prostitution, they'd probably have a better wrap today.

Yeah, but at some point, they have to WRAP IT UP

Isn't that Ashtoreth/Ishtar/Tanith(/Astarte), not Astaroth?

The name Astaroth was ultimately derived from that of 2nd millennium BC Phoenician goddess Astarte,^[1] an equivalent of the Babylonian Ishtar, and the earlier Sumerian Inanna. He is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in the forms Ashtoreth (singular) and Ashtaroth (plural, in reference to multiple statues of him). This latter form was directly transliterated in the early Greek and Latin versions of the Bible, where it was less apparent that it had been a plural feminine in Hebrew.
