This line is one of my Absolute Favorites from this show, because it really digs right into the new world that the kids are in:

They're not kids anymore.

There's a furious man threatening harm to Bumpy and her friends, and Sammy puts herself square in the middle of the argument, turns on the charm and promises that she'll make it up to him...and when he doesn't acquiesce, she immediately turns Stern. She bluntly tells him to go home. As an adult talking to another adult.

She has her own property. Her own life. Her own world. She has authority now. The days where they're kids hiding from robots or businessmen or sneaking away from big game hunters and mercenaries are over. Sammy has land, she has responsibilities, and she's not backing down from them. Sammy Gutierrez is an adult woman, and she's going to act like one.

We really did cross the deepest void, the gulf between the very Galaxies, only to end up in a CGI rendition of South Wales.

Maponos “great son” 🎼🗡️🎶🎵

He was a young deity from Northern Britain though there’s evidence of him in Gaul. The Romans syncretic with Apollo. In iconography he’s depicted with a harp.

So maybe Maponos is a god of and healing, music?

Mabon ap Modron “son of mother”🗡️⛓️‍💥🎵🐕🏹

In the Mabinogi, Mabon appears in Culwch and Olwen where he is rescued by king Arthur and his knights. He’d been kidnapped when he was 3nights old and kept in Gloucester. His rescue was part of a series of “impossible “ tasks. They had to get him because he was the only one who could keep up with the hunting dog, Drudwyn who was the only one who could track the wild boar, Twrch Trwyth. 🐗

He appears to have joined King Arthur’s war band as referenced in the poem Pa Gur and The Dream of Rhonabwy.

There’s also a Mabon fab Mellt who “stained the grass with blood”.

Some think he may be inspiration for the Irish Aengus Mac Og. ❤️

There’s a female(or male) Cornish Saint Mabon/Mabyn/Mabena who is the patron saint of St Mabyn.

🎵🎶🏹🐗

In modern times many people call the fall equinox “Mabon”. Aidan Kelly chose the name Mabon for the fall equinox in the 70s. (Don’t know if anybody was using it before that). I guess he wanted to use a Celtic legend similar to Greek myth. He seemed to think the legend of Mabon was like the story of Persephone, Because they both got kidnapped? Far as I can tell that’s pretty much it. Mabon doesn’t seem to have any connection the harvest.

That said, I still tend to use Mabon as the name of the fall equinox too. I think it’s because I studied Wicca before anything else.

It's Friday, my good folks, time for another Song-To-Go poll!

If you're new, hello and welcome! Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll released every Friday where I present you with new, lesser-known songs to listen to while you scroll.

As always, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (and I try to make sure there’s always something you won’t know). If you like what you hear, go listen to the full songs, they’re yours to carry along on your scroll!

[last week’s poll, playlist of everything so far (in order) and other/future picks]

This week’s picks are some cool pop rock to sing along to, lofi indie from Vancouver (tbf Ekkstacy isn’t unknown in certain circles), Welsh indie, funky jazz— so funky they got the man himself Nile Rodgers to guest on it!!, a cool punk/post punk band and leading Mercury nominated junglist Nia. Guess this week is a bit of a bigger hitters list!

Happy listening! Pass it on and let me know in the tags what you liked this week :) I’ll be back with another next Friday!
