Many Things Led To This Day, For All Of Us. A Forgotten Son, A Vengeful Mother, A Brother With A Long

“Many things led to this day, for all of us. A forgotten son, a vengeful mother, a brother with a long shadow, a strange mutation. Together, they’ve written a tragedy.”

…you’re lucky I’m a stubborn asshole because these took way longer to make than I’d like to admit.

Mythology Aesthetics → Kvasir 

Kvasir was the wisest of all beings. There was no question for which he did not have a ready and satisfying answer. He took up the life of a wanderer, dispensing his wisdom to all whom he met along the road. When he came to the house of two dwarves, Fjalar (“Deceiver”) and Galar (“Screamer”), they killed him and drained his blood into three containers. They told the gods that Kvasir had suffocated from an excess of wisdom. The two dwarves then brewed mead by mixing Kvasir’s blood with honey – the Mead of Poetry.

‘Through Eros, Nyx and Erebus came together to produce Hemera which became the Day, and Aether which became the heavens, the upper air, the breath of the gods and the border between Tartarus and Gaia. […] Desire was one of the more pleasant of a decidedly mixed bag of Nyx’s children, which included Geras (Old Age), Hypnos (Sleep), Thanatos (Death), Eris (Discord) and Nemesis (Retribution), as well as the dread Moirai, or Fates, who wove the destiny of men and gods alike.’

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t often like.
