We're back, baby! Happy Screenshot Saturday!

Phew... it's good to finally be back!

Hi! It's been a bit of a hot minute, right? Thank you for your patience with me! After taking a break after releasing ​Meri's Cafe (which you can check out for free at https://majimjam.itch.io/meris-cafe​), getting a new job with more hours, and university starting up again, I've been preoccupied with a lot! Thankfully though, my life's stable enough again where I'd like to try and begin posting again!

Right now, we're filling in the back half of Chapter 1! During my break I realized there were parts of the game that weren't super satisfying both in terms of the narrative and gameplay, so I took some time to rework things! Now that the reworks are set on, I'm working with the team to make them! I wanna make the best game I can, so that DOES mean sometimes you need to take a step back and rehash something out to help it shine!

That means working on the environments! This little statue's set in the plaza of West Hyades, and is meant to commemorate the workers that hail from there... West Hyades is the most populated part of the city, and there's a lot of people from there doing lots of different jobs all over the city... So even if a lot of it is thankless work, at least they've got this nice statue! Right?

In case you want to refresh your memory on HYADES though, try the demo! It's free, playable for download and browser, has some cute wolf boys in it.. What more do you need? Check it out at:

Thanks for reading!! Once again, I really am happy to be back... For now then, stay safe, take care, and have fun!

question

can you just fuckin dump all your Thoughts on the King in Yellow, Carcosa, and Hastur on me?

there's some things i wanna Comprehend but I think I need some other ideas first

Ive dumped a lot of them into tumblr already but the general Vibe I've got is this:

Hastur is the God of the Gaps. He's what's under the King in Yellow's robes. The King in Yellow is the King of Carcosa, a city that does not and cannot exist, but wants to. Carcosa was once Ythil. Carcosa ate Ythil. This is the plot of The King In Yellow the fictional play.

Carcosa, visually, is a mashup of different art and architecture styles but it's primarily Rococo, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau, as seen through a German Expressionist film. Also clockwork.

There's always a wild party happening and sometimes it devolves into bloodshed and massacre, but at the same time everyone wakes up the next day with a hangover even if they got their guts pulled out by someone's teeth.

At his core, Hastur is the "soul" of Carcosa. The city is very much alive, and he is the intelligence behind it. The reason he can't come into our world directly is because Carcosa is, again, not real and he is tied to it, not because he's imprisoned there, but because he IS the city.

As a God, Hastur's domain is creativity, decadence, and opulence. He wants everyone to have fun, as long as it's his particular brand of fun.

Don't ask me about the secret of the hyades. I don't know that either.

The Specter of Truth is an Emissary of the King and is also Hastur.

The reason you're not supposed to say Hastur's name is that it's Rude.

There are monsters in the lake. The monsters are not Hastur. The monsters are also not not Hastur.

The lake floods. The flood is mist and fog and it fills the lower levels of the city. Wealthy Carcosans are able to flee behind the Palace's walls, but actually getting into the Palace is by invitation only, unless there's a Masquerade.

The Masquerade is a reenactment of the Play, and it ends in a massacre.

Time is a flat circle.

(this gorgeous poster is the handiwork of our amazing host @sazanes!!)

Welcome to our second edition of the Hayden Young Appreciation Week! (or third, if we count the birthday celebration we hosted for them last year).

We weren't able to do a full-fledged week last year, because of clashes with other AWs, but this year we're back in full force to celebrate this amazing character!! 🥳

The event will run for five days, from Sept 25th to Sept 29th. In addition, we will be giving a bonus week for anyone who couldn't complete their works during the week but would still like to contribute. Keep in mind that we accept not just completed works but WIPs too. These are the themes for the days:

Day 1 - Sept 25th - Throwback/Indescribable

Day 2 - Sept 26th - Friendship/Relationships/Family

Day 3 - Sept 27th - Pizza/Road Trip

Day 4 - Sept 28th - Identity/Pets

Day 5 - Sept 29th - Happy Birthday Hayden!

Any form of creative, original work is welcome - fic, art, meta, edits, moodboards, interactive media, headcanons...even screenshots of your favourite Hayden moments! The only rules are that they show a positive depiction of Hayden, and that the works center Hayden as a character. We will also accept WIPs and it is not necessary for the pieces to be put up only on the day of the theme. We also have a specific day for throwback pieces where you can share older stuff and even take us through the process of creating it if you like (here's an ask list that may help!)

Make sure you tag @haydenyoungappreciationweek, as well as hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your content. It would also be helpful if you used #haydenyoungappreciationweek and #HYAW in your tags!

The myth of Dionysos (8)

And to conclude this long overview of the mythical figure of Dionysos, here is the remaining parts of Félix Guirand's analysis/recap of the deity.

III/ Birth and childhood of Dionysos

After the earth was fertilized by the benevolent water of the sky, it needs to suffer the dry burning of the sun. Only then will theplants reach maturity, only then fruits grow – and only then will the grapes appear on the vine. This seems to be the deeper meaning of the myth of Semele, usually said to be the mother of Dionysos. Daughter of Cadmos, the king of Thebes, Semele attracted the attention of Zeus, who seduced her and made love to her – the god frequently visited her within her father’s palace. One day however, Semele followed a pernicious advice given by Hera disguised as the princess’ nurse: she begged Zeus to appear before her in his full Olympian glory. However she could not stand the intense and burning light of the divine form of her lover, and the fires that surrounded Zeus’ true shape burned her alive. The child within her belly only survived thanks to a miraculous thick ivy that had wrapped itself around the palace’s columns, and that shielded with its green leaves the unborn baby from the divine flames. Zeus took the baby, that was not yet fully formed, and placed it in his own thigh so he could finish growing. When the birth was due, Zeus (with the help of Eileithyia) removed the young Dionysos from his thigh – and this is why ever since he was called “Dithyrambos”. Zeus then gave his son to Ino, Semele’s sister, who lived in Orchomenos with her husband Athamas.

This was the most common tradition, but other tales recall how, when Cadmos learned of his daughter’s pregnancy, he locked her in a wooden chest that was thrown into the sea. The floating chest want to the seashore of Brasies, in the Peloponnese: when it was opened, Semele was dead, but the child was alive, and it was taken by Ino. Still filled with jealousy, Hera continued her vengeance by turning Ino and Athamas mad. Zeus saved his son once again by turning him into a young goat, and he gave the order to Hermes to carry Dionysos to the nymphs of Nysa. Where was Nysa? Was it a mountain of Thrace? It is impossible to pinpoint the exact location of Nysa, because every region of Greece where the cult of Dionysos settled claimed to have their own Nysa.

Dionysos spent his childhood on the legendary mountain of Nysa, taken care of by nymphs whose efforts were rewarded later on, as they became the constellations known as the Hyades. The Muses were also said to have helped with Dionysos’ education – and so did the Satyrs, the Silenes (Seleinoi) and the Maenads. Finally, in Euboea, it was said that Hermes had entrusted Dionysos to Macris, a daughter of Aristaeus that fed the young child with honey. Crowned with laurel and ivy, the oung god spent his time exploring the mountains and the forests surrounded by nymphs that laughed and screamed happily. The old Silenus also taught Dionysos how to be virtuous person, and gave him a great love for the concept of glory. When he became an adult, Dionysos discovered the fruit of the vine, and how from these grapes he could make wine. He visibly first used it without any kind of moderation, as the legend says he was struck with madness by Hera – but it was only a temporary derangement. In order to be cursed from his insanity, Dionysos went to the oracle of Dodona – on his way there he had to cross a swamp on the back of a donkey. To reward this animal, he gave him the power to speak. Once his mind was healed, Dionysos started travelling throughout the world to teach mortals the art of winemaking. Numerous fabulous adventures happened to him as he went from country to country.

V/ The travels of Dionysos

Coming down from the mountains of Thrace, he crossed Boeotia and entered the Attic land. There he was welcomed by king Icarios, to whom he offered his grapevine. Icarios carelessly offered wine to his shepherds who, upon feeling the effects of drunkenness, believed they had been poisoned, and killed Icarios in revenge. Her daughter, Erigone, searched for her father and thanks to her dog Maira discovered his grave. Despaired, she hanged herself on a nearby tree. Dionysos, to punish this tragedy, cursed all the women of the Attic region with a furious madness – meanwhile Icarios was brought to heaven with his daughter and the faithful she-dog, where they became constellations. Received in Aetolia by the king of Calydon, Oeneus, Dionysos had sex with his host’s wife, Althaea. To reward Oeneus for pretending this never happened, the dog offered him the very first grapevine, and from the one-night union of Dionysos and Althaea was born Deianira. In Laconia, Dionysos was received by king Dion, who had three daughters. Dionysos was in love with the youngest, Carya, but the oldest two tried to prevent their romance by warning their father about it. Dionysos punished them first by making them mad, then by turning them into rocks. As for Carya, she was turned into a walnut-tree.

After continental Greece, Dionysos visited the islands. It was during these travels that, as he walked by the seashore, he was kidnapped by Tyrrhenian pirates who imprisoned him on their ship. Mistaking him for the son of a king, they hoped to get a ransom from him. But in vain they tried to tie him up with ropes: they kept falling to the ground, and the knots unmade themselves. One man, feeling Dionysos’ divinity, became scared and encouraged his companions to set their prisoner free, only for his crewmates to refuse. Then a series of miracles happened: a strong wine started pouring from the ship, vine grew onto the sail, and a dark ivy surrounded the mast. The god himself became a terrifying lion, and the terrified sailors threw themselves into the sea, where they were turned into dolphins. Only the man that had tried to set him free was spared by Dionysos. Finding himself on the island of Naxos, Dionysos saw a young woman asleep. It was Ariadne, the daughter of king Minos, that Theseus had brought back with him from Crete but had just abandoned. When she woke up, noticing Theseus’ absence, Ariadne fell into a violent despair – but Dionysos comforted her, and soon after, he married her officially. All the gods were guests to the wedding, and they covered the couple with gifts: Ariadne gave Dionysos three sons, Oenopion, Evanthes and Staphylos. The Homeric tradition, however, gave a different record of this tale: in the Homeric texts, Ariadne was killed by Artemis as a young woman, and Dionysos only married her after her death. A grave of Ariadne could be found in Naxos, where the Homeric tale was commemorated through dual celebrations: one was a sad celebration about crying for Ariadne’s death, another was joyful and centered around her wedding to Dionysos.

The travels and adventures of Dionysos did not limit themselves to the Greek world. Followed by satyrs and maenads, he went to Phrygia where he saw Cybele, and the goddess initiated him to her mysteris. He then went to Cappadocia, where he banished the Amazons from Ephesus, and to Syria, where he fought against Damascos – for having destroyed the grapevines planted by the god, Damascos was flayed alive. Dionysos then went to Liba, where he met Aphrodite and Adonis (even making love to Adonis’ daughter Beroe). After ruling for some times over the Caucasian Iberia, Dionysos followed his journey to the East, crossed the Tiger river on an actual tiger sent by Zeus, he united the two shores of the Euphrates by a rope made of vine and ivy branches, and he went as far as India where he brought civilization. He was also seen in Egypt as a guest of king Proteus ; and in Libya, as the one who helped Ammon regain his throne, usurped by Kronos and the Titans.

After those glorious expeditions Dionysos returned to Greece – but he wasn’t the rough god that came from the mountains of Boeotia. No, after having lived in Asia, Dionysos became an effeminate figure: he was now a graceful teenager wearing a long dress in a Lydian style. His cult had now orgiastic rites borrowed from Phrygia. And so, when he returned to Greece he was met with mistrust and doubt, sometimes with outright hostility. Most noticeably, when he returned to Thrace, its king, Lycurgus, declared himself the enemy of Dionysos. Forced to flee, the god found shelter with Thetis in the depths of the sea. However Lycurgus had imprisoned the Bacchants, the followers of the god. Dionysos cursed the land with sterility in retaliation, and removed Lycurgus’ sanity: the king ended up killing his own son by believing he was cutting a grapevine. Peace only returned to Thrace when Lycurgus, by order of an oracle, was trampled to death by horses on the Pangion mountain. Dionysos was not received better by Pentheus, the king of Thebes, who imprisoned the god in his jail. Dionysos easily set himself free, and he cursed with insanity Pentheus’ mother, Agave, as well as all the other women of Thebes. Transformed in Maenads, they went to the Citheron mountain to perform Dionysian orgies. Pentheus, who had followed them, was ripped to pieces by his own mother. This terrible tragedy became the subject of Euripides’ play “The Bacchants”. A similar adventure happened to the inhabitants of Argos, who had also refused to recognize Dionysos’ divinity: their women, possessed by an insane fury, ripped to shreds and then devoured their own children. Among the many punishments inflicted by the gods, the most famous is the one of the daughters of Minyas, king of Orchomenos. They were three sisters: Alcithoe, Leucippe and Arsppe. Since they refused to participate in Dionysos’ celebrations, the god appeared before them under the shape of a maiden, and he tried to convince them in a sweet and soft way. Failing, the god turned successively into a bull, a lion and a panther. Terrified, the Minyads were literaly scared out of their wits, becoming insane with fear – one of them, Leucippe, even killed with her bare hands her own son. The three sisters ended up transformed in nocturnals animals.

Now, no one would dare challenge or refute Dionysos’ divinity, and no one would dare prevent his worship from spreading. The god completed his glorious career by going into the Underworld to rescue his mother Semele. He then renamed her Thyone, and brought her with him to Olympus among the Immortals. The place through which Dionysos returned from the Underworld was supposedly located in Troezen, within the temple of Artemis Soteira. According to the tradition of Agos, Dionysos has rather learned the road to the Underworld thanks to the help of a man of Argos called Polymnos, and returned to the world of the living through the Alcyon sea. Within Olympus, Dionysos also took part in the war of the gods against the giants: the braying of the donkey he was riding terrified the Giants, and the god killed with his thyrsus a Giant either named Eurytos or Rhatos.

Books I Read in 2024 #4: The King In Yellow (Robert W. Chambers, Warbler Classics (originally F. Tennyson Neely), 1895)

The King In Yellow is a series of nine short stories and poems, linked primarily by the narrative device of The King In Yellow, a play and general text in the world of the story that is associated with madness and the forbidden.

It's fun to return to older modes of writing from time to time, especially the established classics. I've known about The King In Yellow for a fairly long time at this point as a touchstone of cosmic horror and an influence on H.P. Lovecraft, along with about a billion other people working in the horror space since the 1890s. My personal first experience with stories influenced by it is SCP-701, The Hanged King's Tragedy, which is an SCP object that manifests in the form of a Carolinean era English play that is associated with madness, suicide of its participants and the manifestation of a mysterious figure at productions of said play. It's a pretty direct reference point, but I did fall in love with the idea of a play founded on madness.

You see it referenced all over the place; Hastur (sometimes a place, sometimes a person), lost Carcosa, the Hyades, though these are actually borrowed from the stories An Inhabitant of Carcosa and Haita the Shepherd by Ambrose Bierce (but not linked directly, as the only thematic link is that the Carcosa of Bierce is that the city is a long-lost and destroyed city of antiquity), or most prominently after the King In Yellow's publishing, the Yellow Sign.

The fascinating thing to me is how broad the stories of The King in Yellow are. There are nine stories in The King In Yellow, but only 5 (or perhaps 6, if you consider the 6th story, The Street of the Four Winds, to be supernatural; it's mostly just eerie and affecting, to me) of them have clear or obvious influence of the supernatural. The final three stories of the book are simple romance narratives set against the backdrop of contemporary or recent (at the time) Paris and the French art industry, something Robert Chambers had long personal experience with as an American studying abroad in Parisian art schools in the years before.

This is the first novel in this list that I've gone back to read historiography about after finishing. Part of that is that there is not a great deal of reporting around modern novelists and their legacies for obvious reasons, but part of it is that this book was truly a baffling read for the final three stories.

I don't say this as a criticism, but it replicated a feeling I get reading some fandom zines of the last few years, especially ones that include fiction. There is sometimes a breakdown that happens in a themed project where one author or artist doesn't seem to be on the same page as the rest of the team on what is supposed to go in the zine, but was nevertheless accepted. It's just funny to read stories like the first couple, stories of madness and loss, and then have a Parisian story of romance in the city of lights amidst a siege or art-school intrigue.

Robert Chambers' work is extremely evocative in its work about place and dress, giving a great deal of attention to mood and scene. His dialogue is very much of it's era, sometimes sharply funny, sometimes eluding me until I've repeated it two or three times to myself to find the cadence of what it was attempting to convey. It's far from unreadable, and even when it dragged the most I kept myself in the game by the strength of his imagery, and it felt surprising to me to see critiques of Robert Chamber's work from his contemporaries.

H.P. Lovecraft was undoubtedly influenced by his work, but also described his work as such:

Chambers is like Rupert Hughes and a few other fallen Titans – equipped with the right brains and education but wholly out of the habit of using them.

It feels a bit mean, but it's definitely not wrong. I think the grandest part of this novel is its legacy and the elision of detail for its major thematic work, allowing a great deal of expansion for the myth over the century since its published debut. The King in Yellow can be many things; it's been the subject of podcasts, stories and movies and television all drawing upon its influence to greater and lesser extents.

[vmprsm]

He mentioned the establishment of the Dynasty in Carcosa, the lakes which connected Hastur, Aldebaran, and the mystery of the Hyades.  - "The Repairer of Reputations" Arthur and John ascend to the plateau. There is more to the Great Gods than simply a body.

(With art from the FANTASTIC @energyember and @realityphobia!!! They brought our glorious, awful King to life. All my worship to these two great partners!)

Happy Screenshot Saturday! This time, NO CONTEXT ONLY READING

Hi, and happy Screenshot Saturday! Now that I've got your attention, let's mellow out a bit... 

We're still working hard on applying clean up to areas, really putting the strawberries on the milkshake! This book animation's been in the oven for a while now, but thanks to the hard work of neitheror (whom you can find his work at @neitheror​), we've got it in!

Why is there a book floating like that? Why is it so huge? WILL it force you into the summer reading program? I don't know... but one way to find out, right?

By... playing the game once it's out! Or by ACTUALLY joining the summer reading program! (You should do both, honestly!)

After you settle into a good book, why not check out our demo and read that too? There's a LOT of words in it, I PROMISE. (...I wonder how many?)

Check them out at:

GameJolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/HYADESRPG/415095

Itch: https://majimjam.itch.io/hyadesrpg

Thanks for reading! As always... stay safe, take care, and have fun!

Today is the first day of winter, the longest night, and the night when Yggdrasil, the Way of Birds (or The Milky Way, in classical parlance) will be at its most direct and impressive, towering over the land as a starry, glittering bridge between the worlds of the living and the dead. It is a wonderful night for looking at the stars as our ancestors saw them, and for telling the stories that our ancestors have passed down to us. Tonight is a special night, for it is tonight that Odin rides his chariot (Ursa Major) with the host of honored ancestors (Auriga) in the North. Fifteen hundred years ago, our ancestors would have seen the moon himself caught in the jaws of the wolf (Hyades) on this night, a night which, in the far North, would have seemed to have no end. Stay up late enough, and watch the stars long enough, and you will see the slow, steady dance of Thor (Ursa Minor) and The Great Dragon as they move through the sky right at the northern horizon (At least at my latitude -- it will be higher in the sky if you're further North.) Freyja (Pleiades) and Frigga (Orion) will descend toward the dawn in the west with the fall of the night while Loki (Sirius) raises his torch and climbs the bridge to find his prominence at the darkest part of the night. You can see them all tonight, see the way their stories play out across the sky, and do it all right from your own backyard. So bundle up, feast on something delicious, raise a drink for the ancestors and watch the cycle of their stories unfold across the stars on this, the longest night of the year! Happy Yule!
