‘Zeit’ video...some rammblings...

Fascinated as I am by death mythology anyway, this new Rammstein video imo is very intriguing (and I hope there’ll be a making of..) and poses lots of interesting imagery...

Central seems to be 'Chronos’, in greek mythology personifcation of time, passage of time, and also of ‘lifetime’, at some point during the mittle ages, Chronos was depicted as being a bearded elderly person with a scythe and hourglass. (The name Chronos echoes back nowadays in several other words relating to time.)

This imagery finds it’s way back in several other mythologies, in German for instance in the “Sensenmann”, a skeleton with a long cloak and scythe, personification of death. The hourglas is clearly visible in the birthing scene, especially when viewed like this, with the top half of the hourglass mirroring the bottom half.

The scythe was used to cut the persons lifeline (in other words, then they die..), in the video, the scythe is used by farmers harvesting the wheat.

The farmer with his daugher, reminds vaguely of the German fairytale by the Brothers Grimm 'Der Gevattet Tod' about a farmer who has many children and has difficulty finding a godfather for his 13th child. He rejects God, rejects Devil, and chooses Death instead.

The Daughter in the video seems to choose to go freely to Death, having a 'death drive', in psychology referred to as Thanatos, from the Greek god Thanatos, personification of Death. Thanatos is often teamed with his brother Hypnos (personification of Sleep, or gentle death) and sister Ker (or Keres in plural, depicting Violent death). Thanatos is often associated with the color black.

In the video the herders of Time are also a triade. Another triade in mytholgy are the Moirai (personifications od destiny, Parcae in roman mythology), their greek names being Clotho (spins the thread of life), Lachesis (measures the thread) and Atropos (who cuts the thread of life with her scissors, and chooses how a person dies). The Parcae are often depicted as present at birth.

Often returning in Rammstein videos is a boat, this video is no exception, with the group rowing over rowdy waters towards death. In a way this reminds me of this painting of Charon, the ferryman who guide souls across the river Acheron which divided the world of the living from that of the dead. Charon is also a brother of Thanatos, Hypnos and the Keres.

I can watch this video for hours...even though it's only, what, 6 minutes, there's so much in there...

Just the fabulous sandsculpture, which shows all images of the video in one (before being destroyed)...the Rammstein echoes of 'Asche zu Asche, Staub zu Staub'...

..and a glimpse of one of Paul's lesser seen tattoos, on his wrist (where he usually wears a watch or bracelet), at the birthing scene.

Did I mention I love this video? 🖤❤

[bigfan-fanfic]

Thor and Loki both falling with a Primodial God from the greek pantheon. I bet they're also gonna be intiminaded by him cause Primodial Gods are said to be INSANELY powerfull. Btw you are also my favorite writer, have a good day or night!

Ooh, which one, anon? (And omg I’m so happy to be your fave too!!!!

Okay, here are all the male-identifying primordial deities. 

Erebos, the primordial Darkness - Loki was probably saved by him when he fell from the Rainbow Bridge. Wrapped safely in darkness until he could recover, Erebos shows him the tender side of the dark, how it can protect and preserve. Loki is afraid of the deep endless dark of his lover, but Erebos tells him that in the dark, nothing else but their love for each other matters. In the dark, they can be their true selves, without the judgment the light brings. 

Aether, the primordial Light - Thor has seen Aether every time he looks at the Bifrost, not knowing that the beautiful man he watched in his visions was whom he would one day be with. Aether takes Thor away to his realm of endless light when he travels between world, a place that somehow exists in all light at once, and offers to let him stay there. Thor of course refuses, but Aether promises to be with him always, and Thor can feel the airy, insubstantial presences at all times, like breath against his ear.

Ouranos, the Sky, the Supplanted King - Loki understands Ouranos’ fury, both of them betrayed in the past. Not a healthy relationship by any means, both would be using the other to grab more power, Ouranos to restore himself to his throne from his grandson, Loki to gain the power to take back Asgard. It’s rather less of a disparity of power, considering Ouranos was weakened almost completely by his son.

Pontus, the Sea - Thor is definitely noticed by Pontus. The Sea and the Storm have always gone hand in hand. Thor thinks he can be called the Thunderer... but Pontus is Storm and Deep and Wave and Tide. He is the great power thrumming inside Thor’s heart, and Pontus can help him ride the waves of emotion inside him without being lost. Thor fears the great power, fears what will happen when he gives himself over to the constant tide within... but knows Pontus will never let him be lost in its depths.

Tartarus, the Abyss - Loki may visit the Place of Punishment on his journeys to find someone to help him retake Asgard, and Tartarus would form before him, endlessly powerful. Tartarus is a place of evil, yes, but Tartarus is not an evil being. Tartarus is twisted and scarred, but he is a jailor, not the imprisoned. He keeps all the evil within himself, so that it does not seep out across his beloved Gaea, nor into Chaos. Tartarus would consider keeping Loki in Punishment, but he can tell that Loki is not truly evil, that he can be redeemed. As he guides Loki out of his realm, the place that is both of him and is him, he lays a kiss upon Loki’s lips - a blessing that Loki will never return to Punishment, as too many souls do. But Loki already wishes to return, to show the Jailer the love he has shown him.

Eros, Love - Thor senses something in the air as he breaks up with Jane. The “mutual dumping,” as it were. And Thor just looks so lost and heartbroken... Eros doesn’t even need to prick himself with his arrows. He falls hard and abducts the god as it was in the ancient days. Thor fights, but he is felled by soft words and promises of endless love. He spends what feels like centuries wrapped in silks and covered in kisses, given pleasure and adoration in equal measure, and giving it in turn. And Thor looks forward to each night, when he and Eros can spend eternities of love in the midst of a few hours of rest, and be together in body and soul.

Aion, Eternity, the Endless One - Thor has never considered anything to be truly endless. But he has never met the vastness that is Aion. Aion is time, laid out and endless in both directions, in all directions. There is no beginning and no end, there just is. It is terrible for any mortal mind to comprehend, and Thor, though long lived and powerful, is mortal. Aion pulls Thor into his endlessness and protects his mind from the impossibility of eternity. Thor cries like a baby, cradled in Aion’s arms as the primordial being repairs his psyche, and as Aion peers into Thor’s short life thus far, he smiles at what he sees. Such bravery and heart. “Spend eternity with me, fair one,” Aion whispers. “Let me keep you in my arms...”

Chronos, Time, the Passage - Loki is keenly aware of the fluctuations and vagaries of time, the rise and fall of ages, and Chronos definitely appreciates this. Sometimes young, sometimes terribly old, Chronos is not just Time, but its passage, the cycle of the days and years and eons. Chronos is Change, and Loki both desires and fears change. Chronos’ implacability and inexorable nature is terrifying, but Loki cannot help but be swept up in his wake. With a kiss, Chronos can rebirth him, or end his life, or transport him a thousand years into the future, but each time Loki continues to kiss him. Change is inevitable, he knows.

Moros, Doom and Destiny, Brother of the Fates - Thor frequently tries to fight against Fate. And Moros laughs. Mortals cannot seem to comprehend that all is ordained. Even the mighty struggles against fate are all within the great plan, directed and orchestrated. Moros is the author of Fate, the only thing keeping Chaos from making and remaking the universe to its whim at any moment. His sisters enforce the outcomes he decides. Though Moros is ill-humored and dark, he is not immune to love. “Your Fate...” he muses. “Shall be to fight Fate for so long, and finally succumb to it.” For anyone else, it would be a death sentence. But the Moirai, Atropos, Clotho, and Laechesis, Moros’ sisters... are not without their senses of humor.

chapter 1: apathy

pairing: taehyung x reader

genre: fluff, eventual smut, ANGST (whoo boy)

greek gods au, poseidon!taehyung, marinebiologist!reader

tags/warnings: none!

summary: it’s difficult being a god. what with all the immortality, the decades bleeding into each other and losing every human being you come to care about. and he’s lived, or whatever it is gods do, for a very, very long time. he thinks he needs help but the fates are being the mysterious, useless hags they’ve always been. they think the solution lives in jeju at the blue side marine conservation. turns out Y/N is the only mortal he’s met who’s ready to challenge him head on. of course it’s not like she knows her new intern is king of the sea, maker of horses, the earthshaker, poseidon himself after all.

next ; series masterlist

Taehyung doesn’t know what’s wrong with him.

He knows he’s been feeling weird and detached from the world around him for quite a while, but it’s easy to forget something’s wrong with you when you’re constantly doing... god stuff.

He has so. many. things. to. do. There’s always mortals to curse... and mortals to flirt with. There’s wars to wage and thrones to protect! There’s the occasional thunderstorm to inflict upon foolish people that disrespect him.

Busy busy, y’know?

“It’s ridiculous, it truly is,” he thinks to himself as he waits in the reception area. The walls are grey, so is the furniture, and hey! so are the three ladies beckoning him into their office!

Taehyung suppressed a shudder that threatened to run down his spine. The three ladies really creeped him out. Especially Atropos with her glassy eyes, always snipping some poor old rascal’s thread of life at the most random moments.

He wouldn’t admit it out loud, never ever, but the Moirae gave him the heebie-jeebies.

He got up from his seat and smoothened out the lapels of his smart, dark blue suit jacket.

Clotho gestured at him to take a seat as he strided into their (grey!) office and plopped down into the (grey!) chair.

“So, what brings you to us, Earthshaker?” Lachesis asked, her wispy voice crackling as she measured the piece of thread her sister was spinning.

“Uh... just Taehyung or Poseidon is fine, Lachesis.” he said as he cleared his throat.

The three ladies, or whatever they were, looked on at him as if to say, “Go on now, we couldn’t care less.”

He shifted in his seat as he thought hard as to how to exactly explain what was bothering his immortal brain.

“I’ve been feeling really, uh- I don’t really know how to explain it but well... Y’know I just can’t—” Clotho cut him off before he could find the right words. “Stop acting a blithering idiot and speak up, Taehyung! You’re the god of the sea sitting before the Fates, not a pre-pubescent boy declaring his love to a maiden!”

“This is why the three of you are millenia old and still unmarried,” Taehyung muttered to himself under his breath.

“Tell us, Poseidon,” Atropos asked him with a look he hoped was meant to be calming, “What’s bothering Rhea’s second eldest?”

Taehyung let out a deep sigh and said, “I feel...apathetic. That’s the word. As if nothing is important enough or exciting enough to really bring me out of this slump.” His aura dampening with each word, he continued, “Every day is mundane, every party is the same, every mortal exactly like the one I met the night before.”

“Everything’s in a loop.”

Lachesis smiled, an unusual occurrence but appreciated nonetheless.

“You need a task, Earthshaker.” she said as she crossed her fingers on the desk before her.

His ears perked up as he heard this, quickly followed by a sharp snip courtesy of Atropos.

“What do you mean ‘task’?” he questioned, eyebrows furrowing in confusion, leaning forward with curiosity.

“We’ve sensed a very special soul’s presence down in South Korea.”

“The one with the dictator? Oh boy, I’m not going there, it’s no fun place for a tourist, I’ve heard.” Taehyung says with a cheeky grin.

Clotho sighs heavily at the juvenile behaviour, “No that’s North Korea you’re talking about. I spun a thread about 23 years ago for a life that demanded your presence. Since you’ve got nothing to do now we think it best you go down there and see to what’s needed of you.”

“Really? Another human? Didn’t you hear the part about the mundanity and the mortals? Why must it be me, can’t you send one of the lesser gods? Apollo loves mingling with the creatures, send him!” he whines, trying to escape his fate.

Lachesis glares at him, her eyes beady and glistening, “Poseidon, you will go to the damned place and do your damned duty or so help me Chronos I will throw you off Olympus myself.”

Taehyung gulped so hard it would’ve been almost funny.

Only that it wasn’t funny because he was very close to peeing his immortal pants. Did he mention before how much he was terrified of the Fates? Cause he was really, really terrified of the Fates.

Now he knew there was no escaping a task from the three crones, so he rolled his eyes, grabbed his staff from the floor and rose from his seat.

‘Stupid stiff leather always hurting my delicate tushy,’ he thought to himself.

He was almost out the door when he turned around to begrudgingly ask, “At least tell me where exactly in South Korea am I to go?”

Clotho smiled at him, eerily reminding him of the beastly Alecto down in the underworld, “Why, it’s the Blue Side Marine Conservation in Jeju Island.”

a/n: hey just a friendly little reminder that all of the info about greek myth and deities may slightly differ from your versions as mythology is complex and the versions we hear and believe are different! i’m trying my best to do as much research around marine biology, greek myths and how the ocean works to create the best possible story to share with you guys but please be gentle if there are any inaccuracies!

She suspected, by the way this Chronos glanced at this Clotho, that there would be something of the sort again, but not for some time, and perhaps not with this particular Clotho.

"Incarnations of Immortality: With a Tangled Skein" - Piers Anthony

[deathspinner]

hello hello hello! it’s me, hanna. most of you already know me since i’m also responsible for the group’s resident disaster gay hero achilles. here, however, is my second child atropos of the moirai / sonya winchester and oh my, what a boss she is. hopefully this introduction makes all of you love & fear her as much as i do.

ATROPOS.

is she a daughter of nyx and erebus? is she a daughter of zeus and themis? is she a daughter of chronos and ananke? we just don’t know !

not that it even matters, honestly. what’s important is that she’s one of the moirai, also known as the fates.

she doesn’t rly care what you call her or her sisters because it won’t change the fact that she, clotho, and lachesis hold everyone’s lives in their hands. and everyone means literally everyone, so @gods don’t think ur excluded or safe.

while the trio operates as one, atropos has the dominion over the manner of the individual’s death. she takes her job very seriously and proudly embraces her title as the inexorable one. no one has evaded death under her watch and, as far as atropos is concerned, no one ever will. ( she’s a bit of a perfectionist like that ).

generally she doesn’t get involved with everyone’s messes bc, well, she kinda decided what will happen & she knows it will happen so. there’s been exceptions, but not too many.

when she shows up and when she speaks, she expects to be heard and obeyed. disobey or otherwise slight her / the sisters? she won’t hesitate to fuck you up. and do you really want to anger the goddess in charge of your death? yeah, me neither.

SONYA WINCHESTER.

is she an orphan? was she abandoned? does she have a loving family somewhere? was she raised by a large number of nannies? sonya knows, but don’t even dream of her sharing that information with you. 

even if there was somebody to care and love her, no one stayed long enough to leave a permanent mark on the young girl. that forced / encouraged sonya to make the most important decision of her life: instead of letting others dictate her life, she would make herself into whatever she wanted to be.

so what did she want to be? ask her and she’ll tell you immediately that she will be the first female chief justice of the united states. to achieve that, she’s currently a law student @ nyu where she has quite the reputation. she’s a perfectionist whose talents and skills everyone can’t help acknowledge. if there’s a debate in class or a mock trial, no one wants to go up against her because they know she will win.

her intimidating reputation is further strengthened by her tendency to keep to herself. she would much rather work toward her goal than do something unproductive. she does not meddle in the affairs of others; she will not engage in activities she deems ridiculous. cross her, though, so just like atropos, she won’t hesitate to fuck you up.

is sonya aware of her reputation? yes, she is. will she do anything about it? no, because why should she? sonya winchester knows who she really is and she wouldn’t want to be anyone else. 

a sidenote:

in the event that your character regains their memories, do not have your character instantly recognize who atropos is ( unless it really makes sense for them ). 

the fates have traditionally presented as older women, but to adapt to modern times, they have modified their appearances drastically. so if your character has met atropos, she’s most likely worn the old lady face, not her current one.
