what do you draw from when you're writing your songs? like virgin suicide, i would love to know the origins of that

director's cut genius annotations time! for virgin suicide specifically, i drew in part from lived experience (mine and my loved ones' alike), but i also took a lot of inspiration from the well of cultural cornerstones i have collected: in this case, namely, i was thinking of the ancient greek ideal of the maiden's suicide through hanging (think erigone and the aiora, the danaids, antigone), as well as the catholic iconography of sacred virginity and its defilement, and i wanted to do something juxtaposing the traumatic unwilling loss of that virginity-maidenhood with the desire to still consider your suicide as upholding that paradigm of purity, the desire to be unsexed-unraped.

i also, predictably, drew from the imagery of paternal incestuous abuse, but i wanted to show it in an oedipal light: the mother was there too, an accomplice and a culprit as much as the father, but the narrator can only bring herself to blame her father and hold him accountable without being able to do the same for her mother, whom she ends up apologizing to. the father "touched" her, the mother "loved" her: there's an intense dissonance in the way the narrator presents her abuse, and it's very much intentional. the sister is a sort of light at the end of the tunnel: no matter how much you've suffered, how marred and worthless you think your body is, someone will love you and take care of you, there have been happy times before and there will be again.

[HC] Santuario

Sedes Externas

En el manga original, Lost Canvas/Gaiden y Saintia Sho hay páginas que presentan las lápidas de Santos fallecidos. Si bien es cierto que el nombre de un Santo no siempre refleja su origen (ejemplos: Aphrodite, Isaac, Asterion), decidí investigar el origen geográfico y usarlo como base para mi teoría de que el Santuario tiene sedes externas donde recluta aspirantes:

(Disculpen el Espanglish, es mi modus operandi ^^Uu)

Europa:

Oeste-Centro-Mediterráneo:

Juan (España)

Serge (France)

Travis (Norman-French)

Algernon (Norman-French, "with moustache")

Pascal (French, from the Latin Paschalis)

Gilles (France)

Baraba (might be mispelled Barbara, Greek)

Kain (Biblical Greek, hebrew origin)

Cima (Venezian surname, could also be hebrew/aramic and mean treasure)

Ludwig (Germanic)

Hugo (Germanic)

Flavio (Italian version of Flavius)

Lauro (Italian version of Laurus)

Norte:

Gavin (medieval variation of Gawain, British Isles)

Tony (Roman Antonius, English version)

Edmund (Old English, British Isles)

Norman (English, from a Germanic version of "Nord man")

Sven (Old Norse)

Helga (old norse, Scandinavia)

Este:

Ivan (Slavic, could be Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Macedojian, Ukranian, etc)

África-Medio Oriente

Siroe (Sasanian/Persian  Empire - modern Iran)

Basile (Arabic)

Otros

Tess (diminutive of Theresa, Greek "to harvest”, most used in USA)

Basado en esto, planteo sedes mayores en Italia, Francia, y las Islas Británicas (el Santuario está oculto, así que dejo ésta última en las Tierras Altas de Escocia, específicamente).

Podría ubicar sedes menores en Eritrea, Azerbaiyán, Tailandia, Rusia Oriental, Suriname y Belice, meramente para tratar de distribuirlas alrededor del mundo.

Como dato curioso, los 49 Santos/Aspirantes canónicos de los cuales sabemos dónde se entrenaron se distribuyen de la siguiente manera:

Europa: 20 (Saga, Kanon, Deathmask, Aiora, Milo, Aioros, Shura, Marin, Shaina, Misty, Asterion, Algol, Jamian, Dante, Capella, Sirius, Orphee, Seiya, Ichi, y Cassios)

Asia: 9 (Mu, Shaka, Dohko, Camus, Shion, Shiryu, Hyoga, Isaac, y Kiki)

África: 5 (Alghetti, Ptolemy, Jabu, Ban y Nachi)

América: 4 (Alde, Aphro, Dio y Geki)

Oceanía: 1 (Moses)

?: 10 (Babel, Daidalos, Shun, Ikki, June, Jango y 4 Black Saints, todos entrenados en lugares inexistes)

Aiόra is the latest wine series of Moschopolis Winery. This greek word’s meaning derives from the name of the ancient Greek celebration for god Dionysus but is also a word equal for relaxation through levitation,as it is literally a synonymous word with swing. Instead of illustrating a narrative of this word, it has been chosen a perspective which doubts what is to be physically ascended, an oxymoron which brings a set of levitating rocks, the bigger standing and supported over the smaller, a floating synthesis, an overall metaphor in redefining what is known in what is familiar. — Aiόra / white / asyrtiko, xinomavro & sauvignon blanc Aiόra / red / mavrotragano, xinomavro & syrah — The Birthdays Design © 2018

So cool to have stumbled on this image coinciding with Erigone myth and the Aiora (the Swing) ancient festival, where virgins swung from the trees of Athens.

I'd love to hear a Greece update - how you spend your time, favourite places, etc. It all sounds amazing, congrats on having a good time.

I waited until l I had returned to answer this question and looking back at my month in Athens only makes me long for more time in Greece (though I’m keen to see areas outside of the capital, the islands especially but not only).

I actually spent most of my weekdays working (lol), because I can’t quite possibly take an entire month off and I was still on a full-time schedule in July. I tried nonetheless to make the most out of the hours I had free and loved every minute of it. I felt very much in tune with the Greek way of life, probably due to its similarity with the Italian culture. It’s the small things: being able to hang out my clothes to dry in the sun, eating out on the balcony, simple but great food, flavoursome fresh produce, slow middays, a glass of wine and small plates of varied dishes, old people playing the harmonica in the street or the radio blasting from two apartments down (and sometimes, music from my own apartment, after I developed a playlist of Greek songs based on whatever the people loved singing along during my bus ride to Epidaurus).

I started work at 10 (I'm working UK/GMT hours), which meant that I could sneak in a visit to a bakery (for tsoureki, my favourite breakfast food there, alongside a cup of Aeolian tea) or to one of the many bookshops around my apartment in the early hours. It’s a good thing I can’t actually read Modern Greek because there were countless of bookshops and so many interesting-looking books around. I found also a  couple of independent bookshops that carried translations (for example Aiora, where I got a book on Rebetiko). I also got a used copy of a tragedy (the Philoctetes, a bilingual edition Ancient Greek – Modern Greek).

I didn’t go anywhere for my lunch break except the nearby supermarket (AB because everything else is expensive) if needed, since it was hot (extremely so, in a way that’s unbearable even for Mediterraneans and that is very dangerous both for health issues and for the fires it leads to) and I need time to rest after eating. Food, by the way, has been incredible. I’ve ordered take away gyros more often than not. When I cooked, it was always fresh vegetables and fruit that I bought each Saturday at the local market, perhaps with a smoked sausage from the shop or tzatziki (or ktipiti, or melitzanosalata, or literally any other sauce and/or salad) with pita.

In the evening, sometimes I went out to whatever museum or site that was open until late (sometimes taking half-day offs). It was an amazing trip pottery-wise. I can’t quite sketch (yet) but I’ve taken many pictures for future inspiration. I took a bunch of pictures I’ll pour over in the next few months for inspiration.  Being 25 meant lots of reduced tickets thankfully. Alternatively, we just took a walk around the neighbourhood, maybe going up on of the hills (or my favourite, the Lycabettus) and then out for dinner at one of the tabernas nearby or Kurdish/Turkish/etc restaurant.

Two weekends I went to Epidaurus, once to see The Persians, once to see the Agamemnon, both of which were brilliant.

Saturdays it was for eating out for lunch and then the market which then exhausted me. Sundays instead was for spending more time at museums and such. I absolutely gushed over the Mycenean tablets  at the National Archaeological Museum (look! I was  looking at pictures of these a year ago and now they are here in person!!). However, my favourite was the Acropolis Museum, truly stellar. One of the best places I've ever been.

I miss it already.

How about a crossover between Kimetsu No Yaiba and Saint Seiya in which the S/O of the gold knights is from the KNY universe and is isekaiated to SS and is a hashira/Pillar and time after the relationship begins they meet some co-worker, for example Aphrodite and her S/O meet Shinobu, Aioria and her S/O meet Rengoku, a very crazy idea? Indeed, can it work? With your talent I'm sure that yes ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧

Sorry this took so long to get out! I'm sorry if this is short as well. This one just picked at my brain and I couldn't think of a good way for it to go. this one sucked so bad. I hate the ending. Hope you still enjoy!

Aioria x Female Demon slayer Reader

Genre: Fluff

Reader’s sibling: Iguro

Reader’s best friend: Rengoku

Y/n was born during the time of demons. Her older brother is Iguro and she gets transported to the time of the saints and Athena and becomes a saint herself.  

Aiora could have sworn he was fighting Hades. He remembered the saints and Athena attacking him head on before he could do anything but now, he was just sitting in the middle of the forest dumbstruck and looking around. His girlfriend, Y/n was trying to figure out where they were before she stood up straight. Y/n looked around for a minute before realizing that she was home again. She grabbed Aioria’s arm and pulled him in the direction of where her home was. He raised an eyebrow but followed her anyway. 

Once they make it to what appears to be a big house, Y/n drops to her knees and bows. Aioria just stood awkwardly as he watched her. “I have returned, master.” She said calmly. A few moments of silence rang out before the sound of what sounded to be a sob was heard. “I am glad to see that you are unharmed, my child.” A young man walked out with two girls at his side. Aioira noticed that the man was blind and needed help getting around even though he was young.

 Y/n began telling him all about what had happened to her and why it had happened. She introduced her boyfriend to the master and later, to the hashira when they had arrived a few hours after Y/n had returned home. “Master, where is my brother?” Y/n asked as she searched the hashira. Mitsuri stood up and pulled Y/n into a bone crushing hug. “After you disappeared, he thought that you had died and ever since then, he hasn’t come to meetings and hasn’t shown his face for years. I know that you can get him to come back if you go over there. His snake will instantly recognise you.” Mitsuri said, smiling sadly at her. Y/n nodded her head and ran back to her brother's house. “I’m home brother.” She whispered.

{Time-Skip}

When she reached her brother's home, she could hear him softly crying. It hurt her heart to know that she had caused him this much pain. She opened the door quietly and saw Kaburamaru. He looked up and as fast as lightning slithered over to Y/n. She dropped to her knees and held her hand out towards the white snake and picked him up. Kaburamaru curled around her hand and pressed his face against her palm. She smiled and ran her fingers over his white scales. 

“Come on, I need to see my brother.” You whispered and the snake seemed to understand what you were saying and turned his head towards the area he had just slithered from. You walked into the room and softly knocked on the door. “Hey Iguro, I’m home.” You called out. You watched your brother's head turn at the speed of light. You thought he gave himself whiplash. He stood up and walked over to you before pulling you into a hug. Please don’t ever do that again. That scared me so badly. I thought you were dead.” He said. You smiled and hugged him back just as tightly.

You both walked back to the meeting for the hashira and when you entered the Headquarters, you saw Aioria and Rengoku, you childhood friend, talking and practicing together. Aioria was showing off his moves and was extremely impressed with Rengoku’s abilities. You smiled before Kaburamaru slithered to your arm and wrapped around your hand. You smiled at the white snake before walking over to your boyfriend and best friend. “I see you two have met and enjoy each other's company. I’m glad.” You said smiling happily. 

Rengoku grinned. He told you everything that he had learned from Aioria and vice versa. You sat there and smiled happily as the two got along. You watched everyone else talking amongst themselves. It also looked like it was gonna be a long day of explaining what had exactly happened to you. You chuckled to yourself before you joined the others talking. You sat down next to Aioria as he continued to talk with the others. Iguro was interested, seeing as his little sister had disappeared for a while before reappearing. 

Y/n smiled as she watched everyone. She really had missed everyone and couldn’t believe that she was back home again. She held Iguro’s snake and ran her finger on the snake's head and smiled when his little tongue appeared before disappearing. “I really missed this Kaburamaru, I don’t want to ever miss this again.” You said smiling as everyone became animated when Aioria began telling them about what he had to do. He showed them his power at full power and was just laughing when they stood there stunned.
