GOD sometimes it genuinely irks me that stories like Orpheus and Eurydice or even Adam and Eve are criticized under a purely logical and heartless eye. "Why did Orpheus turn around" because he loved her. "Why did Adam eat the fruit" because he loved her. They both chose love over God. And they were punished for it and eternally cemented as fools.

Do you really think that Adam doesn't know what the one goddamn thing he's not allowed to eat LOOKS like? Do you really think that Orpheus would feel better if he hadn't turned around only to find Eurydice's cries for him were real? These stories are about pure love. They're about being punished for the sin of a love that conquers all else. They're both about forsaking God(s) to that end.

TLDR: If a God is going to forsake you for love than they are not a loving God. And they are directly to blame.

#it's controversial thoughts like this that got me time outs in empty dark rooms in primary school!#jokes on them I'm neurodivergent I liked being left alone like that #tw: religion #just in case #not marvel related #good news for the gays tho #diversity win! God hates EVERYONE! including the straight couples!#anyway this is a wildly different genre of post than I normally make but I've literally been bugging myself to make it for *years*#I could go on to talk about the blatant disrespect these stories give Eve and Eurydice #(ahem their importance in the stories boil down to women = bad women = weak women = stupid women = evil seductress)#but there's so many posts like that already I'm sure so I just wanted to shout out my boys Adam and Orpheus #who just love their wives. so goddamn much.
