idk why, but I always pictured Tiresias in Epic the Musical as this guy from The Song of the Sea:

You were worried sick. Stomach twisting, and sick with distress and despondency as you sat in your Grandpa's old worn-out recliner wearing your pajamas, a mug of now-cold hot cocoa in your hands as you waited for your grandfather to come back inside the lighthouse. He had told you to keep an eye on the light for any ships lost out at sea as he went out to check something. You had noticed for the past few days that your Grandpa seemed sick, unnaturally dehydrated, and constantly muttering something under his breath about "she's coming" but whenever you'd ask about it, he'd always shut you down and tell you that it was nothing.

The storm raging on outside was getting worse and even though you were told to keep inside, you couldn't help but be worried for your Grandfather. Still, you had a job to do. Keeping the light on and helping ships get around was important and your grandpa would've wanted you to help others before going to check on him.

Making your way up the narrow steps of the old, rickety, wooden stairs; you set the mug of cocoa down on the desk next and get to work on looking for people with the big bright light that shined on top of the lighthouse for the ships out at night. . . And your grandpa, of course. No way were you going to just forget your Gramps.

────────────────────────────────────────────

As you walked along the shoreline of the beach next to your lighthouse home, it was early morning and the sun hadn't yet risen so you held a flashlight while you looked for any signs of life, still in your pajamas with no shoes on.

You caught sight of a man with dark hair and wearing a white tank top lying on the rocks of the shore, he looked unconscious, and without thinking you yelled out to the stranger. "HEY! You alright, man?!" You shout as you run over to him and check his pulse, silently praying that the man was still alive.

He lets out a quiet groan of pain, still out of it but that's enough to tell you he is alive and that's good enough, so you grab him and drag him over to the lighthouse while the storm worsens and the wind picks up, rain pouring down harder and you knew in that moment that you weren't going to find your grandpa tonight.

May or may not have gained a new special interest in selkie lore and The Song of the Sea. We'll see

(The Song of the Sea is such a good movie with so much good pagan symbolism y'all should go watch it it's so good)

[yellowdiamondsdaughter]

The song of the sea~

[leoremin]

I'm watching the Song of the Sea and like--THAT MOVIE WAS REAL??? I remember watching that but I couldn't really remember and its SO PRETYY

[ueko]

Yes sir. I did learn it from a animated movie tho.

Friend and I are debating whether something is common knowledge or not.

[honourablejester]

Oh, I didn’t know that.

I was listening to Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” on youtube, and browsing the comments several people mentioned …

Okay. The song is about the real sinking of the freighter the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior in 1975. And there’s a line in the song:

���In the Maritime Sailor’s Cathedral,

The Church Bell chimed till it rang twenty nine times,

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald”

Which references something that the actual Maritime Church in Detroit did in honour of the ship’s crew. And I just found out in those youtube comments for his song that when Gordon Lightfoot died in May last year (2023), the Maritime Church rang those bells again, this time 30 times. Once for every man on the Edmund Fitzgerald, and once more for Gordon Lightfoot.

That’s … That is a memorial I would be proud to have earned. And proud to give. I do like that. A lot.

Apparently, the Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior also lit its beacon in honour of him.

Sorry. I’m having … extremely maritime sort of feelings over here. Songs and memorials, bells and beacons, and the ways we carry memory forward. That’s … that’s a good memorial. I like that.
