Manic pixie dream girl of your nightmares

Always hooked and fascinated by this. To love a person so deeply that you feel your heart has died with them.

Nobody was doing it like Mary Magdalene. Tits out. Standing on a mountain. Holding a skull. She’s like the lesbian catholic hamlet. Aesthetically an absolute win for the gays.

the more you research ancient greek mythology the more you get a massive headache. Nobody sites sources properly. Information gets tossed around and mixed up into salads and everyone's theories and hallucinations have become this massive mess held together haphazardly by scraps of ancient findings spanning hundreds of years and a bunch of different cultures. I want to know the truth and the facts. nevermind how fragmented and incomplete.

To adress what @autopoion said in their tags, which is 100% correct: My post wasn't very clear, I did write it at like 2am with a horrible headache and nausea, but I did NOT mean the facts and truth about mythology as if it's a solid thing. I meant the truth and facts about the information we have. For example, people will write "the ancient greek believed eros came from an egg". Upon digging and digging you find out that this is 1 story told in aristophanes' "Birds". Or you'll see "Hera was asociated with lotus flowers and peacocks" but with zero information about where we get that from. And I've been digging and digging and staring at vases trying to find when we even had the first depictions of peacocks in the greek world, and how on earth the lotus flower with a natural range nowhere near greece is connected to her. Or the pinecone-tipped thyrsus idea which I have yet to find where it originates from and if it's just a misinterpretation of heavily stylized artwork. And then the layers upon layers of manuscripts and quotations of older stuff and the dating of everything. I am absolutely not saying researchers are trying to hide anything, I am saying that ancient greek myhtology becoming such a popular subject has muddied the waters so much, and so much you think you know from your surface level reading and learning ends up falling apart upon further research. I am certain there are very solid textbooks and studies and stuff out there but it's just a headache getting to the solid information as a layman who maybe doesn't know where to look or doesn't have immediate access to the right academic works on the subject.

no one on ao3 is catering to my vague non-specific desires :(

i love the part of making art where you feel like you need to go missing

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is and always has been fascist rhetoric everyone.
