October Mood

There is something I’ve always been drawn to about the story of Hades and Persephone from Greek mythology.The unlikely union of such light and dark is so fascinating to me.

I also think it speaks to a universal truth, regardless of your spiritual or culture orientation. The story speaks of the few knows of this world; death, life, the power of women to create life, and the phases of all living things. Many people view life as opposite to death, but here they are brought together.

Also here is a maiden, mother, crone representation as well. Persephone embodies all 3; the maiden when Hades falls for her, a mother down the line, and a crone like figure as queen of the underworld. Or alternatively, Persephone as the maiden, Demeter as the mother, and Hades even as the crone figure. This too speaks to the universal nature of this story and the elements within it.

I believe that if you look deeply, you begin to see that across cultures the same energies are represented and manifested in different forms. I believe the same is true here, and in that way I view Persephone, Brigid, and many other goddess associated with Spring to be born of and embody the same power and spirit. Hades himself also has counterparts in other cultures, the first to come to my mind is Odin with his horde of the dead in Valhalla much like Hades with his underworld.

I think too for me, Persephone addresses a strange feeling and experience of being in love with this world but also very drawn to death. She is quite and interesting and complex figure and I believe one who can have a lot to teach us on appreciating life and embracing death. For without one another, each has no meaning on it’s own.

“Death is not the worst thing. It is His gift to us, and end to want and pain. On the day that we are born the Many-Faced God sends each of us a dark angel to walk through life beside us. When our sins and our sufferings grow to great to be borne, the angel takes us.”–George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows.

Happy Halloween everyone! I present to you Family Plot, the Beetlejuice The Musical (the musical the musical) fancomic.

I fell in love with this musical over summer, and the idea for this specific adventure built and built until I knew I had to make it. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve been super anxious to start posting this. It’s a one-issue comic of yet to be determined length, so hop on board for the next month or so and enjoy the ride as I post a new page every day. The comic will also be uploaded to Deviantart and Ao3. Search for *jameson9101322!

and instead of being productive I indulged….. what a surprise

pitbulls aren’t evil. they just want to be loved.

Don’t freeze.

One thing that I feel is too heavily slept on is that Virgil CANONICALLY says shit like “I have daddy energy” to Jericho. I know he’s a scary gross demon crow man, but also…he’s kinda silly sometimes. He’s a bit of a goofy goober.

Like, I highly doubt he does it often, but I can 100% see him doing it from time to time to confuse the ever-loving fuck out of Jericho (and everyone else whenever he responds verbally).

Virgil: I bet I could yeet that baby off the catherdral

Jericho: Virgil what the fuck are you talking about

Virgil: skibidi rizz Ohio

Jericho: *extremely confused scarecrow noises*

look out, ‘cause here i come

I can’t decide what broke me more, Crowley’s constant acts of service, always showing up to save Aziraphel or make him happier… or Az’s extremely in love expressions.

Like, listen:

a. THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM even when playing “enemies”

b. His smile when Crowley appears to save him in France? SOFT

c. WHEN HE FALLS IN LOVE

d. That cutesy smile and blush????

e. The way his gaze lingers after the sexually charged moment AND HE’S LOOKING AT THIS LIPS BEFORE HIS GAZE GOES UP??

f. “to the world” but say it like it means “i love you”
