I have this headcanon about Icarus and Ariadne, that really isn't supported by any actual ancient myth outside of them both being young people in Minos' court in Crete, but I like to think they were each other's first loves. Like that so-sweet-and-innocent, but yet still incredibly consuming and passionate puppy love, and part of Icarus' desperation in escape was about getting back to her, and then he died.
Icarus died exuberantly flying back to her, and she never really got over it.
So then Theseus came along, and woo'd her, and that was cool and all, she was excited to move forward, she helped him and was excited for their adventures, BUT THEN HE BETRAYED HER and straight up abandoned her in her sleep on Naxos. At this point, she's lost one true love to a tragic and prideful death, and one faithless love that had her betray her family and then dipped; she's devastated and just ready to die so that hopefully she might find Icarus again in the afterlife.
BUT OUT OF FUCKIN NOWHERE, Dionysus comes along and is just like "Ah yes, that beautiful flower, I want her to be my wife" And just *yoinks* her up to be his immortal bride. RUde.
And maybe overall he was good to her, and they were happy, but she never really got over what happened to Icarus, and she is constantly reminded by her immortal, godly life in the heavens that she is living his dream, which he was punished for chasing.
And yes, this idea started when I was listening to "I, Carrion" and I am currently being haunted by an "Ariadne's Version" of the song (see below)
I have wings now, love, and I always will I'm lashed and bound to life and so I carry on Cruel skies mock me with their brightest blue And it's the closest thing to you So I'll carry your carrion
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall I pray the ground to open up its arms to me

okay, so i'm sick and tired of this bullshit thing where people get mad at other people for what they call "talking shit". Let me explain something to you-talking shit is when someone starts spreading bullshit about you that isnt true. If someone is hanging out with their friends and they say something like "yeah alyssa* is a total bitch" that is not talking shit, thats just people who dont like alyssa* bitching about shit. theres a difference. so please stop freaking out if say a girl named meagan* heard someone talking about alyssa* like this and went and told all her friends and they come over and start yelling at the other person who was simply expressing his feelings to stop "talking shit" he wasnt. so chill
*names werent picked for any particular purpose if your name is alyssa or meagan nothing personal
