I just wanted to say that I'll be forever grateful for your breathtaking Bellamort writing. We all owe the heights this amazing ship reached solely to you and Surrogate's author. No other ship that I know of ever had better and more dedicated writers in its fandom. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I was rendered nothing but a glistening cascading of tears

Your content about Bellamort and Voldemort were fantastic, I don't know if you will continue to develop it and I don't want to dwell on why you stopped but I really enjoyed it, it was very accurate and interesting. I loved every analysis about them.

This really warms my heart. I'm so glad so many of you still remember my Bellamort writings so fondly. There's nothing more I could wish for, truly. Thank you so much for your kind words.

In regard to whether or not I have consciously stopped, I can assure you I actually never did. Most of my metas usually come from my attempts to answer interesting questions I'm sent about the most various topics, and Bellamort is absolutely no exception. I'll definitely continue to do so for as long as people want my opinions on it (and, I fear, probably even after!).

If this blog is still active, first off hello! I love your stuff with Artemis and Apollo. Second, where have you gotten your interpretation of them from? You said in older posts that you’ve done research on them. What have you read and where have you read it?

Oh, hello back! Let me start by saying that I truly appreciate your support and interest! This has always been (and with "always" I sadly mean literally, since classical times) mostly a niche topic, but so dear to my heart I'm always delighted to see people falling, well, prey to it (figuratively or less figuratively lol).

This said, I'm afraid your question has no simple, definite answer. As uncomplicated as it might sound, I'm afraid my interpretation is simply my own, formed over almost a lifetime. I've studied the Classics (especially ancient mythologies, in both official and unofficial settings) all my life. I actually still do - and daily. I'm mostly kept together by ancient terrors and obscure palpitating riddles, so, I admit, I might know a thing or two about topics not many other scholars find it fashionable to rave about.

So, disappointing as I'm sure I'm about to sound, there exists no actual text solely focused on the topic of the Divine Twins and their relationship seen under the lenses I usually talk about. I've actually always been tempted to write one myself for this precise reason.

The best advice I can give you is to actually start studying Greek Mythology for yourself (and compare it with other ancient religions, this part is crucial) and try to connect the dots for yourself.

Those are some great volumes to start: Gods and Heroes of the Greeks, Karl Kerényi / The Greek Myths, Robert Graves (Graves was a genius, but he gave more gravity to his own interpretations than to supported facts, so always read him with a grain of salt) / The Greeks and the Irrational, Dodds / The Gods and Goddesses of Old Europe, Marija Gimbutas.

I mean, even in my mind, I was like 'Oh, there was a genuine connection between [Sauron] and Galadriel.' But, was there?

Yeah! [...] I think any person that he works with is, for his own benefit. So, I think he worked with Galadriel because, I think that he thought that she could give him something. — Inside S2E01, with Charlie Vickers.

*SCREECHES CRIES THROWS UP DIES* LYS YOU ARE BACK AND YOU JUST REBLOGGED SAURONDRIEL STUFF???!!!! YOU WANT ME TO COLLAPSE FROM HEAVENLY JOY??? Pls did you watch the premiere??? Have you seen the flashback and Gal's eyes??? What do you think, oh my god

Was it truly an innocent flashback only, though? Are you sure?

Could it be that the Brat Lord and Lady are now sharing minds through their bond and Nenya, and that little moment was in fact a shared memory the both of them were re-experiencing at the same time from the respective points of view? Mind palaces go both ways, and constantly, don't they?

Just asking.

I love the ground under his feet, and the air over his head, and everything he touches, and every word he says – I love all his looks, and all his actions, and him entirely, and altogether.

“I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free; and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them! Why am I so changed? why does my blood rush into a hell of tumult at a few words? I’m sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.”
