@KeepingIt_101 THE SKIN HORSE. A+++ best reference, Ilyse.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@saul_mondriaan Ooooh, yes. Another possibly fruitful avenue!

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@saul_mondriaan I know this is picking up a thread from two and half years ago, but I've been chewing on this recently, and I'm curious about your thoughts. Hercules w/ or w/o Ares makes Martial sense, but also: have you tried the hymns to the Kouretes for Mars?

@mpgPhD @KeepingIt_101 All views are one View, Megan, and all viewesses one Viewess.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@mpgPhD @KeepingIt_101 Apparently it's just your *views* that are Wiccan.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@popelizbet As is right and good! 😁

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@popelizbet @mpgPhD Pope, this is so fucking good. Io, Pan the all-Queen.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@saul_mondriaan 1. I'm sure this is objectively true
2. You just became the Cool Teacher (more than you were already, clearly)
5. Fnord.

@AuchNeal I loved *Comfort Me With Apples* by Cat Valente - it's a novella, with both fairytale and biblical/apocryphal grounding, and I ate it all up.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@ProfIRMF @mpgPhD Ahhh, alright. This is a fair point. In that case, yes, the comparison certainly works.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@mpgPhD @ProfIRMF Clarity, however, does not feel lush and welcoming on my skin. Cashmere does. I feel like this is an important difference.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@mpgPhD See, this is why Dionysians are the best.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@mpgPhD MEGAN YOU ARE GONNA MAKE ME CRY.

(...I like it.)

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@Penemues_Quill However. Wikipedia reminded me of THIS: "At the end of the novel, when Peter flies back to find an older Wendy, it is mentioned that Tinker Bell died in the year after Wendy and her brothers left Neverland, and Peter no longer remembers her."

So. There's that.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@Penemues_Quill If this is so, it's from a later interpretation - in the original book/play, it doesn't get mentioned.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@mpgPhD A FAIR POINT

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@mpgPhD Oh no. Oh NO. Now I need Con O'Neill as a Parisian gamine, making sad heart eyes at...well, anyone really.

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@sqiouyilu I think about "Far From Holy" on a semi-regular basis, and cry pretty much every time I read it. (Erotica that makes me cry is one of my favorite things ever.)

[Joy @Joy_Shines]

@rmvirtues @artistfuly Yes! The thyrsus carried by Dionysos and His retinue is generally topped by a pinecone...though sometimes, large bunches of ivy leaves are substituted. This definitely looks like a more-spread-out, fabulous pinecone option.

@mpgPhD @histori_an_ca I AM ONE OF THESE PEOPLE
