How To Become a Myth

1.

Fly into the sun, defy anyone who tells you that you cannot love Him.

The ocean will break your fall. even if it is by drowning you.

(You knew he would burn you, Icarus you simply thought he was worth the risk)

2.

Get stolen by a God away from the meadows you once knew, wood nymph.

Become Queen of the Underworld. Turn the land of the dead into home.

(You knew didn’t you, Kore? How to survive you would become Persephone?)

3.

Turn yourself into an echo of the person you used to be, then fall in love with him.

And when he doesn’t notice you Instead falls in love with himself, pine away.

(Narcissus could never love you, dear Echo. Not the way he loved himself.)

4.

Become an indestructible monster. Become the thing that warriors speak of in hushed breaths in terror.

When you finally do die at someone’s hands make sure it is glorious.

(Theseus was the only end worthy of you, Minotaur.)

5.

When the Sea God assaults you, turn people into stone. Turn Gods into stone.

Turn anything that threatens you ever again into stone.

(Medusa, Athena turned you monster to protect you. She took your beauty to give you power.)

6.

Adore her so much that the world grieves with your broken heart’s song.

Almost save her from the Underworld. Almost.

(Orpheus, all you had to do was not turn to look at her.)

7.

Marry a God King.

Watch him betray you over and over again. Become bitter and cruel.

Recognise he will never respect you. Promise to make him suffer till he does.

(Hera, I know why you couldn’t leave him, it was all for love, it was all for love)

8.

Become an undefeated warrior in a war where you lose everything you love.

Even the one you love most of all. Don’t realise it. Keep fighting.

(Achilles, Patroclus’ love would have made you immortal anyway.)

9.

Be unhappy in your marriage. Find a dangerous Prince who promises you a real love.

Run away with him

Do not think of the consequences.

(Helen, you didn’t just launch a thousand ships you set kingdoms ablaze.)

10.

Destroy everyone you love in a murderous rage.

Go on a journey hoping it will kill you

(Hercules tell the truth, you hoped those tasks would be your destruction didn’t you?)

Addendum:

Don’t become a myth. Stay human.

Stay mortal.

It is less wounds.

I promise. It is less wounds.

“They still write about you, you know? In the history books. A hero, tragically lost. They call you foolish.” I tell you.

You roll yours eyes, a smile ghosting over your lips. “Why? Because I died?”

“Because you died in vain.” I correct.

You raise your eyebrows. “So did Romeo and Juliet.”

“But they died for love!” I protest.

You shake your head, evidently amused. “They died from miscommunication.”

I open my mouth to retaliate, but nothing comes out.

“The poets paint them in tragedy, weaving young love and sacrifice so beautifully that we forget the truth of what happened in the tomb.

But I’m the one who touched the sun. I didn’t go in vain, neither did I lose sight of the ground. I simply decided I’d rather fly.

Even if it was just for a minute.”

Cinematic Parallels: Luca and Tangled

Their official meeting comes with a funny scene of one trying to impress the other and the other being confused.

Luca and Rapunzel both have unhealthy relationships with their mothers. They are both very sheltered and afraid of the world.

Alberto and Flynn display false bravado, both having to adapt from being alone for so long.

Rapunzel and Luca both have breakdowns over disobeying their mothers.

A moment of vulnerability (in front of a campfire) that brings a confession out of Flynn and Alberto.

They both have a shared dream or at least have the desire to help the other achieve their dream even if it means sacrificing their own.

Alberto and Flynn put themselves in harms way to protect the person that means the most to them.

Luca & Rapunzel are willing give up their freedom to save the other.

At the end of the film Alberto and Flynn find that their dream was really about the person that hold dear the whole time. And they’re happy to take the action needed to protect that dream.

They’re both given the mom smile of approval at the end.

‘tis the night, the night of the grave’s delight

Then my last look shall be at you, Ye blessed things that I still cherish

Boys in the Trees | Nicholas Verso

So I was watching this movie called boys in the trees on Netflix and all I could think was, Bill is that you?

One of my biggest flaws is purposely triggering myself when I’m already in a bad mood.
