It's Ellyneart, or Nillya (from insta/fb) but since I don't really post my art here... Well. I changed my username

Upon being asked by toby fox not to publically post stuff about delta rune for 24 hours—to give everyone a chance to experience it fresh—north america goes out of its way to flood the internet with liveblogging stuff, data-mining results, and videos with jam-packed thumbnails called “ALL SECRETS. UNDERTALE 2?????? HIDDEN THING!!! WOW!!!! IS X CHARACTER Y? WHAT ABOUT Z BIG REVEAL???” meanwhile in japan. None of the thumbnails reveal anything, and 80-90% of videos about it are locked until the 24-hour period elapses. thus:

“premieres on 01/11/2018, 06:00″ exactly 24 hours after, in fact. it just makes so clear the difference between america and other parts of the world.

For what it’s worth I literally didn’t see a single person on any of my social media feeds post anything about it except that it existed for 24 hours

I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?

And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?

Including the… epic hymn that first told this story? You know what’s in that original source material… right?

Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.

So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.

Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)

Oh shit!!

Holy pug tacos Batman!!

All these fucking books!  What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?

A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?

Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.

JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU

I don’t often reblog posts of people getting owned, but when I do…

man the ancient greeks didn’t dare to speak persephone’s name she was that powerful and venerated (they called her Kore, “the maiden”), hades didn’t get that honour

Rebagel for those book links, I find the Persephone and Hades stuff on here fascinating and I want to research it more

Book links, owning and the sheer badassery that is Persephone.

reblog forever

Reblogging for the links until this misapprehension finally ceases.
