“You know how much I hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back just like that” and “I’m getting tired even for a phoenix always rising from the ashes” are siblings.
the connection between “but the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light” in peter and “remember looking at this room, we loved it ‘cause of the light / now, i just sit in the dark and wonder if it’s time” in you’re losing me has me spiralling
the modern villainisation of demeter will never cease to enrage me bc it wasn’t ENOUGH to just take a story of a girl being torn from her home from everyone who loved her and dragged away to be forced into marriage and twist and corrupt it until it was a romance story about female empowerment that wasn’t ENOUGH they HAD to take the original hero of the story the mother who went to every length to find her daughter again to bring her home and demonise her character until she was this horrific overbearing unloving mother. overprotective controlling without love. they turn the story of her grief at her YOUNG daughter being torn from her without her knowledge into the story of a misunderstood bad boy and a horrible cruel mother who won’t give him a chance and i really find it sickening. it’s ironic, that the ever misogynist age of hellenistic greece, has a better grasp of how disgusting and horrifying this situation was that a modern, self proclaimed ‘feminist’ era.
do you ever think about how we started with “even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me” and ended with “a pathological people pleaser who only wanted you to see her”
