#GOD DAMNIT THIS IS FRESHMAN YEAR HISTORY ALL OVER AGAIN#ykw fuck it im dumping here#So. There are these daughters of a goddess right. their job in heaven is to weave clouds and rainbows and shit#and they all decide to sneak out of heaven and go skinny dipping in a mountain pond#And a nearby cowherd hears the commotion and decides to steal all the girls clothes#when the daughters decide its time to go home they all panic because holy shit their clothes are gone#so one of them decides to get out and look for their clothes#the cowherd then reveals himself to her and states that he found their clothes and returns them#when they go back the girl is like ‘hey this guy found our clothes so y’all can leave but he say me naked so now we have to get married’#and they do that but after awhile their mother realizes she’s gone and basically drags her up to heaven and grounds her#with no regard for her husband and kids#dick move i know#they try to meet up via the river in the sky (because mythology) but the mother finds out and separates them with a wide-ass wall of stars#so they are eternally separated (except on a certain Chinese holiday where magpies bridge the gap for them to cross)#also did i mention that weaver girl’s name translates almost directly to weaver girl and the cowherd’s name is almost directly cow herd#n e ways watch overly sarcastic productions they’ve got tons of this shit#midnight speaks#midnight swears
