This just screamed Ariadne and Dionysus to me, so here’s my take on them!

"Girls Gone Greek" (Sakhi Thirani) / "Greek Maenadism Reconsidered" (Jan N. Bremmer) / The Dance of the Bacchantes by Charles Gleyre (1849) / "Ugly, Creepy, Disgusting, and Other Modes of Abjection (Jela Krečič, Slavoj Žižek) / Nymphs Dancing to Pan's Flute by Joseph Thomanek (1920)

Hail Lord Dionysus🍷🍃

I am beauty, I am brutality I am a love bite on the neck, I am the ripping out of a throat I am the swaying of hips to the music I am the hearty laugh, the drunken tears I am madness, I am ecstasy I am pleasure, I am pain I am the stitching of a wound, the rage of a bull I am comedy, I am tragedy I am Dionysus.

[hymnoeides]

To the some that asked for Dionysus :3!

context: The gods each experience different side effects when they suddenly use way too much of their godpower at once:)

Dionysus' childhood.

Behind him are the dead temporary caretakers, and Hermes is about to take him on the next leg of his journey.

"Go ahead, brother, '^^! I shall get back to the crowd. See you soon! Heh,"

*Hermes laughed, before darting off through the air.*

Open Starter: A Party In Olympus!

*Hermes was throwing a party for... Quite literally no reason. He was bored, so, why not?*

*He had invited all the Gods and Goddesses, and people in Olympus in general. He had also invited a few Gods and Goddesses from the Underworld, and a few others, if they ever wanted to make an appearance.*

*Currently, the God was flying around. Checking to see if everyone was happy, talking to old and new friends, etctera. His winged sandals carrying him, as he had discarded his winged helmet for his sunglasses.*

[This will be spanning as a Open Starter on my other divine and divine-like accounts as well. Some souls may even show up, like Polites. I will be tagging people on that account's tag list as well!:

thank You, God of Feasts and Festivities all the amazing parties i've had so far in this semester. my birthday was exceptionally great, which im extra grateful for 。.:*:・'°☆

[chthonic-cassandra]

Dionysus as a festival god can simultaneously invert and subvert these cultural categories: language, the role of the sexes, classes, and political hierarchy. To understand Dionysus is to understand that the order imposed upon the world by human culture is created by that culture, and that the permanent potential exists for a reversal or collapse of this order. To accept him is to understand that festival and ritual can offer this knowledge in a form that ultimately supports rather than destroys the existing social structure.
