Only you know your relationship with your god. Don’t second guess it.

It saddens me to see posts on here and on other sites about how having a causal relationship with your god is disrespectful and you shouldn’t give them nicknames. That just makes me so upset every time I see it.

Because one of the things I know for a fact is if a god felt disrespected by your behavior towards them, you’d know.

If xyz didn’t want you to treat them like a sibling, best friend, mentor, parent, (or even a lover. Not my place to judge.), you’d know. Just because you have that type of relationship with them doesn’t mean you don’t respect them or don’t work with and/or worship them.

They’re gods, yes. But they also love you and want to help you. You felt how they appeared to you, I bet you knew very quickly what type of relationship you’d have with them. What type of role in your life they would fill. Or maybe you didn’t and it happened a lot more slowly. All of that is okay. What’s also okay is if you have a very strict relationship with them, that’s also fine.

But my goodness don’t try to police or judge how gods are with other people.

99.9% of the time it’s the gods setting that type of dynamic in the first place so please be respectful to other dynamics.

You’re not better than other worshipers because you don’t joke around or call a god your bestie.

What inspired you to retell the myth of Eros and Psyche? 👀

originally i was playing around with it because i was super into greek mythology as a kid (it started with a big kid friendly anthology of the popular myths) but what really Motivated me to make it solid and eventually publishable...... l*re *lymp*s.

i had heard so much shit about it over the years i decided to finally go online and read it and document my live reactions on instagram. never in my LIFE have i been so fucking angry at any piece of 'literature'. i got fed up to the point i just quit reading it and said fuck it, i will do a greek myth retelling better -- similarly, Imperium was inspired by me wanting to make something better than Game of Thrones, my fae story from wanting to be better than ACOTAR (🤢), so on and so forth.

tldr; spite. also i wanted to write it in a way that wasnt making psyche a "not like the other girls" character and exploring Eros as the Elder Eros and not just Eros Cupido as told in The Golden Ass.

They do seem upset do they not? Eros & Psyche battling it out.

[sea-owl]

Philippa is a riot this season I love her. Her yelling for Varley to release the bugs aka the butterflies.

And we get even more Eros and Psyche parallels!

In the myth when Psyche ascended to godhood it is said she grew a pair of butterfly wings and became the goddess of the soul.

We can see that with Penelope at the Dankworth-Finch ball. She's stepping into the light and her full power. The butterflies being released then. Also with her holding up a mirror to the ton showing their true colors, their souls, sounds part of goddess Psyche's domain.

I do like that in the show revealing herself was Penelope's idea. Feels like giving her back some power. Also yes the team up between Penelope and Portia! Their screaming match which led them to understanding one another! I've been waiting for it!

I also do appreciate that even though they were fighting for a little bit polin still clearly loved one another. As with Penelope and Eloise.

Also called it, knew Penelope and Colin were going to have the first boy. I partially do think it's because they want to keep the Featherington House set. I know them sets be expensive. Though that baby looks rather close in age to his cousins. We sure that first time didn't conceive him?

Eros and Psyche by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1889.

[akiacia]

the myth of eros and psyche

[devastatinglygreen]

it really was very heavy handedly eros and psyche the whole time

eros falls in love with psyche after being sent to find her a husband

eros leaves psyche alone after she betrays his trust even tho he still loves her

and, in some of the stories, psyche's trials are made worse by eros in his effort to help her

psyche intends to sacrifice herself at the last trial

psyche is depicted with butterfly wings after being made immortal and granted forgiveness.

so then she and eros can live on in a happy marriage of equals

The intimacy of worship.

There’s something about walking through isles of a store and finding something that reminds you of your god. Or sitting down to write pages full of words detailing your love for them, giving them praises, talking about how they’ve helped you or how they’ve impacted your life. As a god, a friend, lover, sibling, or parental figure. Creating things in honor of them, dedicating pieces of art, finding silly things you just *know* they’d find hilarious, or helping others find their way to them just like you did.

Or finding them in everything you do.

I think about Hermes every time I’m writing, I think about Aphrodite every time I look in the mirror and bring myself to admire what I see, or how I think deeply about the type of love and devotion I’d want, my mind strays to Eros and Psyche. When I see and feel how much I hate certain emotions of mine, I think about how they can be expressed in healthy ways, and how I can lean on Dionysus and Ares without fear or judgement. When I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, I think about our sun gods, and when the moon takes her rightful place in the sky, I think about our lovely moon goddesses. When a thunderstorm happens, I know I can say a bright hello to Zeus. When I’m doing house work with a frown, I know I can think of Hestia to make it a little less tiresome. When I’m clawing my eyes out because I can’t sleep, I know Hypnos will be by my side to make sure I can get a few restful hours.

They’re in everything. Every part of life that you wish to see them in, and I think that’s beautiful.
