#read The Cremator
Text
You must understand my position, I don't want to be a hater, I don't want to dislike this fuckin thing, but it feels like it's laughing at me, it's making me feel too old to enjoy it, I am 22, do you understand how weird this is
#tmagp neg#sorry#It feels like it's been written for 17 year olds and people in their 20s who exclusively read fanfiction#Pick up a book GO READ SEA AND POISON NOW#read Samurai while you're at it shusaku endo's work is fascinating when you understand the circumstances#sea and poison has a scene that's just 3 pages long but it will absolutely wreck you#at least the czech translation is masterfully done idk about the english one#go play Anatomy it's a great horror game#read The Cremator#read yoshimoto banana#just read something please

Things I've learned about Ajax this week:
Heracles was his fairy godfather who blessed him with invulnerability
His myth of invulnerability predates Achilles'
Subsequently one of the earlier myths regarding his death was that Paris shot him in the heel with an Apollo-improved arrow
Other myths involved the Trojans simply burying him given they couldn't hurt him otherwise. If you can't stab a man into the Underworld, maybe just dig him door, shove him in, and block the way behind him.
His body being interred rather than cremated in the prevailing myths of his death by suicide might be a nod to that older version of his death
His method of suicide--burying the hilt of his sword in a mound of earth and then throwing himself on it--may also be a nod to earth being the only thing that can kill him. In this case, it killed him by wielding a sword.
#actually I've learned quite a bit more than this#but these were some of the fun ones#telamonian ajax#ajax the greater#it's funny I'd read a lot of essays about his death and had somehow missed this#like there is a lot of debate over why he was buried rather than cremated#I think it was Sophocles who suggested it was a punishment for the whole cow thing#but the cow thing wasn't part of every myth and Sophocles invented his motive for killing the cows#and interring bodies wasn't seen as a punishment#so yeah the idea that it's just like the only way to keep an invulnerable man down like just put him in the underworld and block his exit#tagamemnon

There are queer things told
in the deep space cold
by the ones who venture far
I seen horrible blights
and gruesome sights
too dark for planet or star
But none are as bad
or as horribly sad
to make even a Deathsinger moan
As when thralls got squished
and ol’ Three-Eyes wished
on her Ahamkara bone...
#destiny 2#poetry#the drifter#eris morn#I spewed this in discord yesterday and decided I would share it with you here#drifter storytelling by the fire#eris thinks he is insufferable#crow is roasting marshmallows#eido is delighted#glint is going to retell this later with embellishments#maybe someday I'll write the whole thing - but not today#cremation of sam mcgee is such a drifter-ish poem I can hear his voice when I read it#poem

alright this one is a bit dark but. current spin sooo . out of the following options how would you most like to be remembered & reasoning if you'd like
sentient ai of you in a big computer
tree grown out of your grave/with your body
ashes scattered (where?)
bones fossilized for display
buried regularly / mausoleum
used to grow biodegradable bricks out of mushrooms
traditional burial
other?
FOSSILISE ME CAPTAIN
#asks#ok but genuinely a lot of these are cool#sentient ai might be fun but i fear that my postmortem conciousness would be used for bad...#tree is alright!! but i would have a difficult time choosing the type of tree etc and it seems like a logistical nightmare#im actually more familiar with the process of cremation but its not really my thing...#regular burial is EXPENSIVE and also the whole thing where you have to go clean the headstones or nameplates -#is kind of inconvenient. sure i love cleaning headstones but i wouldn't wish it on anyone else#the bricks one is so interesting... mushrooms pale in comparison to museum though#and then yeah same thing for traditional burial its just too formal and boring to me#<- guy who's been to enough funerals etc#anyways MUSEUMS.#now that's a real cool thing#i have actually been to a museum near me that had people's organs and bones and even preserved muscles in there#and i was like woah hell yes. all of that is me#so yeah. scientific donation is for me.#and also if possible i would love a little plaque or note by my bones that reads like. idk something nice or thoughtful#anyways. intriguing ask thanks anon

Stole* this 100+ year old book from the library today. Just because it has my grandfather's favorite poem in it, and just holding the book makes me feel close to him again.
In case you ever doubted that I'm a big sentimental fool.
*it was being taken out of the collection anyway
#comet comments#comet lore#his favorite poem was The Cremation of Sam Mcgee#my cousin read it at his funeral#my grandfather was a fucking character#I wish I had more reasons to talk about him

Mr Guston said hurry up
#g-witch#suletta mercury#the text reads as follows;#guel: Duel me for mior#suletta: OUTTA MY WAY BOY WE'RE COMITTING ADULTRY#the more i think about it the less i like the fencing bit#it doesnt matter!! schools out indefinitely and benerit group is facing dissolution#if they want delling's approval they can badger him while he lies pillowlessly#on a bed that looks like it could be slotted into a cremator at moments notice 😬#g-witch spoilers#drew this w my hands on my phones notes app

Went to the cemetery with my mom this morning to drop off flowers and clean the headstone where my Memere, Pepere, Uncle and Nana are all buried. No one else ever goes to drop flowers, we do because it was SO important to my Nana and we’d take her every year to drop the flowers for the 3 that were already there. Now that she joined them in 2019 no one ever goes. They just aren’t “cemetery people”, neither am I but I know HOW much it meant to my Nana and doing this for her helps me feel connected to them all still. And scrubbing the lichen off the headstone and engravings is extremely satisfying to me.
Plus I get to hear stories of family I never got to meet as my mother reminisces reading all the names of family that are buried there.
#cemeteries aren’t my thing either but it is something I can do even though they’re gone#for the record I’ll be cremated I don’t want to spend eternity in a box#plus going there and reading the dates of death reminds me that you need to live when you’re alive because you never know when it’s the end

oughh I agree so hard with you w/ death stuff. Tbf I've never actually seen a dead body close up or had someone close to me die so idk if my feelings will change after that but I think we're a part of nature and should return to nature after death
YA ive only ever seen dead bodies who have been prepared (in person at least, ive seen pictures of unprepared bodies) so yk. but ive lost a couple of family members and i just think likee. speaking from experience when you dont have the time with the deceased to process the death. it makes it sm harder to like. Feel your grief. bc yr so pushed into the like. Well the funerals over so grieving is done
#theres jusr sooo much.#IDK if yr aware but caitlin doughty (ask a mortician on youtube) has a couple of rly good books on death ive only read her first 2 (the 3rd#is on hold rn 🙏🙏) that i highly recommend ALSO obviously her yt channel... her videos r rly rly rly insightful#shes a huge advocate of green burial (she owns a green burial funeral home) so i think a lot of her stuff could be rly relevant to you!#specifically i recommend her video reacting to famous film corpses MAINLY rhe second half of the video#where she visits a facility (idt thats quite the word) where they make animal feed blocks out of cremated remains#i saw u mention youd like to be eaten by animals after death and currently with all the legal stuff i thjnk thats one of the best/only ways#2 do that rn :]] ALSO her 2 human composting videos r less abt feeding animals and more abt feeding plants obviously. but still very#interesting and ties into the returning to nature stuff...#APOLOGIES IF U ALREADY KNOW HER. shes one of my idols DNFNFJNF so i shill 4 her every chance i get#i love love love her videos basically. highly recommend her cannibalism trilogy as well.. a lot of her videos r judt very insightful#a2t

love new wave cinema… to symbolize how fucked in the head our character is we’re gonna depict them in a curved mirror like they’re in a funhouse looking at their own distorted body. and it means they’re not good in the head
#and they were so so right#sorry. was reading jonathan owen’s essay on the cremator#trying to think if persona did anything like that but i don’t recall any odd mirrors. definitely had the face tearing/detachment stuff tho#love that new wave hit different yet the same wherever it occurred
