This Is A Really Beautiful Answer.

This is a really beautiful answer.

would you rather the greek gods did or didn't exist? in your wildest dreams, would you want even a little of mythology to be true?

Who are we to say it’s not? There are people to this day who worship the deities of Greek religion. I think that mythology has the truth that you give it. 

I’m not a personal believer in any of the religious attributes of the myths, but I think they all hold at least a kernel of truth, depending on the person who reads them. Medea is the truth that betrayal and revenge shouldn’t always go hand in hand. Ariadne is the truth that thanks aren’t always given readily. Antigone is the truth that strength of character is celebrated and desecrated along lines of gender. These are my truths. They aren’t the same for everyone. 

Embodiment and Empathy and my sprawling ideas...

So somehow my thesis on explaining how comics is an inherently empathetic medium has descended into an interdisciplinary dissertation that encompasses the fields of neuroscience and cognitive processing, medical humanities, disability studies, art therapy and the theory of art. The application of these theories seeks to analyse the embodied aspect of comics, but I feel like my tutors will be surprised when they read it given that it is the final piece of coursework towards my Masters in Literature.

Also, you can tell I've got a high word count, because I'm talking like this. ^

THERE ARE NO GIFs FOR HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW

I accidentally reset my chrome browser and I have lost ALL my bookmarks. This is like two months of diss research that is GONE. There were hundreds of AMAZING articles, videos and interviews, all organised into files. The deadline is in less than a week and I was doing SO WELL. 

I guess you haven’t heard the news that David Cameron face-fucked a pig.

In the news today; a man doesn’t sing the national anthem. Never mind the ongoing refugee crisis, or the child tax credits cut though, yeah?
