That Which You Are Fighting For

Stray Gods is a story about change. It's a story about choices and consequences. And overwhelmingly at the start of the musical, the consequences are very clearly bad.

But this is also a story about family. About repairing relationships that have gone horribly wrong, or at least setting them on a less self-destructive path. The early songs establish what could happen when these relationships fall too far. And as a result, there is a sense of directionlessness. You know what you are running away from, but not what you are running towards.

Enter Asterion and Hecate, and the joyful disaster that is You Cast A Spell On Me. It's fun, it's awfully sung on purpose, and it is heartwarming, if you play your cards right. This song proves that there is a hope for the idols.

Let me explain.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Cast A Spell is not eloquent or well sung. I need to get this out of the way because it is one this song's chief criticisms. The reason I want to address this is because this isn't a flaw, this is the entire point of the song. Yes, the song isn't going to be played at any karaoke parties, but a song's worth isn't limited to how well you can sing along to it.

First up, lets break down what this song is doing. This song is about a whirlwind romance between two nerds, and that isn't an obvious decision for the writers to make. The minotaur and the goddess of fate. Why these two?

I said that Stray Gods is about family, and so it draws upon myths with that theme in mind. The Minotaur is part of that. Possibly an original way of rationalising earthquakes (According to Matt Kaplain's Science Of Monsters, published in 2012), the minotaur's story picked up its most iconic form from the Roman Poet Ovid, a man known for having some strong views on authority. The story is very likely to have predated Ovid, but other than artwork, which is notoriously difficult to quote, Ovid is the earliest source I could find (If you have an earlier one, please let me know).

In any case, the story goes that king Minos of Crete prayed to Poseidon for a beautiful bull to consolidate his power as king, in exchange he would sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. Poseidon agreed, but when the time came for the bull to be sacrificed, Minos bailed on the deal. This lead to Poseidon conspiring with Aphrodite to make Minos' wife, Pasiphae, to fall in love with the bull. I will skip the next part of this, to keep things PG. But the footage refocuses, and Pasiphae has given birth to a son, named Asterion, that's our minotaur. This minotaur, however, has a penchant for eating people, so Minos imprisons it in the labyrinth and sacrifices people to it once every few years.

You still following me?

So the minotaur is a child of a truly weird and messed up family, and with the Stray Gods decision to skip over the cannibalisation bit (with the exception of notorious bell-end Theseus), it becomes a family who cast him into the labyrinth for no fault of his own. That theme of messed up family dynamics is here in full swing.

Hecate doesn't have a concrete origine, in mythology or in history. There are theories that she was originally an epithet (regional form) of Artemis, although this doesn't really hold up, and there are theories that she originated in Egypt or Anatolia. It is unclear, and that fits for a goddess of magic and mystery.

She is also sometimes represented as one of three goddesses, according to Pausanias this is because of a sculpture that is now absent, but it's a visual that has stuck around. It's why she has those three faces on the front of her outfit.

Another thing to note are that Wikipedia notes her as a household deity alongside Zeus and Apollo, although the citation for this is dubious, so I would advise taking this with a grain of salt.

In any case, Hecate is mysterious, at least in our modern age. Compare that to the Minotaur, which is iconic, and you have a unique pairing. This is what I am getting at. These two are so incredibly different from each other, in a romance that is so storybook it is bordering on cliche, that it contrasts with the rest of the story. If you can help these two get their happy ever after, what can you do for the rest of the cast?

Next, let's talk about the lyric writing and the singing. Because in my opinion, they are terrible, and I love that. This is a world where you can magically make people start singing, and this song points out that not everyone you do this to will be able to sing well, or improvise lyrics, for that matter.

And this is meant to juxtapose with the rest of the cast. Athena's songs are eloquent and perfectly imperfect (I do not mean this as a compliment), Aphrodite's vocals are filled with pain and regret, and Apollo and Persephone's music is rich with passion and anger. Contrast this with Asterion and Hecate. Hecate isn't bad, by any stretch of the imagination, but her music isn't elaborate. It's simple, direct, and effective. Asterion meanwhile stutters and stammers, its cute and heartfelt, but its not powerful. Asterion isn't a singer.

The reason why is simple. This is a metaphor for one of the main struggles of the rest of the cast. They are stuck in pomp and ceremony, in fantastical displays, in lies and deceptions, and here is a pair of characters who don't really care about that. Sure, Hecate is quirky and has the whole Dr Manhattan thing going on with her sense of time. But its deliberately simple to foil off the Olympians and their flaws.

And that's kind of what this song is doing. While everyone else is singing the same songs over and over again, Asterion makes a choice, sings something new, and gets consequences that are beneficial. Not all choices lead to death and sadness, sometimes you need to take a risk.

If you want to fix your life, you need to first get over yourself and start actually making choices.

My top 10 korean OSTs of 2022.

Hope you had a great time celebrating the new year! I was supposed to post this last week but last year I really was the worst at keeping up with my tumblr. I guess the whole working adult thing is draining me already of my hobbies. Anyway, hopefully I'll do a better job this year. Here's my favorite OSTs of last year.

10. Suzy- Inevitable. Extraordinary Attorney Woo Young Woo was one of the most popular dramas last year and this soft cute ballad by Suzy was such a joy to listen to.

9. MINO ft Gaeko- City+++. So I usually only include OSTs from korean dramas but I really loved the korean movie Seoul vibe. I don't know why I wasn't expecting much of Mino's debut as an actor and he really delievered as the courky nemesis of Yoo Ah In's character in the movie. He also co-wrote this OST and the song is so much fun.

8. Sole- La vie. This is such a cool song in english with crazy vocals and was my favorite Little Women OST.

7. Minhyun-Tree. So technically this song is from Alchemy of the Souls Part 1 and 2 but since it was released as the soundtrack of Part 2 I'll give myself and pass and add it as my favorite song of Part 2. I loved Part 1 and I am enjoying Part 2 of this epic drama. The OSTs are all so great but this one is one of my faves for sure. Minhyun's sweet vocals are just so beautiful. Ailee's I'm sorry was recently released and it's a great listen.

6. Melomance-Love Maybe. Business Proposal was a hilarious drama to watch. I've always loved Melomance's vocals so it was great to listen to this song over and over in the drama (Kim Sejong's acoustic version is also great). Bam bam's Melting is also a fun listen.

5. TAEYEON- By my side. The drama Our Blues was not really for me. It's well done though. The lyrics and Taeyeon's voice hits you right in the feels. By the way there were several songs from this drama that are amazing including Jimin's and Ha Sung Won's With you, Heize's The Last, NINGNING and Winter's Once Again, 10 cm's For Love, Punch's Bye bye and Davichi's Remember me.

4. SOHYANG-Luminous. I have to confess I only watched the first two episodes of Poong, the Joseon psychiatrist however the OSTs were so good. Sohyang has such an outstanding voice and it's so well suited for a historical drama so it was no surprised I loved this ballad. Make sure to check out Solji's By Your Side and Standing Egg's She.

3. CHEN-An unfamiliar day. Chen came back from the military on april of 2022 and by june he had already released an OST he's such an OST king! He also released another in november but it was this one from the drama Doctor Lawyer that I really loved. The drama was intense for sure and so were the OSTs. Make sure to listen to Freedom by Lee Changsub.

2. DOYOUNG-Unable to love. I was watching the web drama Dear X Who Doesn't Love Me, a slow burn friend to lovers drama with a supernatural spin to it, and I was really into Doyoung's portrayal of the unrequited love he has for main character and I was really emotional envolved so when I went and listen to the full live song I was overwhelmed by his delievery of this song and it really became one of my most listned OSTs of the year.

1. JEONG SEOWOON-Just watching you. This was the most iconic OST of Alchemy of the Souls and I think we have stablished by now just how much I loved the drama so this became my favorite OST of the year for sure. The epic feel of the drama was perfectly portrayed by Seowoon's vocals and the beat. Please check out the rest of the songs for this drama because there's so many great ones like Scars leave beautiful trace by Car, the garden, Aching by Kassy, Raindops by Gummy and Breath by Kim Na Young.
