#im a hypocrite because i dont care for any post christian sources because im too exhausted all the time to try and pick out

I’m thinking about UPG as a concept due to the project I’ve fallen head first into

I looked up the definition and it’s very… academic? Like it feels to me like upg is a term holding us back from writing and sharing new stories (which is terrible in my spirituality since telling stories is how we keep gods alive.)

It’s probably the want to only reconstruct and not add to the faith after the fact that holds the community to upg instead of tagging something as original content, as well as the ardent hatred some people feel about the idea of treating faith as a fandom in which you engage spiritually.

I used to be in the camp that cared only for the ancient sources and regarded the idea of Marvel Loki being a deity with scorn but like… the dionysia was a theatre festival and competition and yet we take primary sources from there; is that not the same? The Oresteia, Medea, Oedipus Rex, all of those very famous and well known myths were preformed at the dionysia festival (Medea didn't even win.)

On a separate note; isn’t “marvel loki” a kind of epithet?
