Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
Not a dumb question at all dear. No such thing as a dumb question.
Basically a really poor summary I can give you is this myth/concept:
Hades and Persephone are both God/Goddess that come from Greek Mythology.
Hades is King of the Underworld and rules the realm of the dead.
Persephone is Goddess of Spring who later becomes the Queen of the Underworld when Hades basically kidnaps her, and makes her his Queen.
Persephone was said to be very beautiful and attracted Hades with her light and kindness (she liked to dance in fields of flowers and all that disney shit).
Persephone’s mother Demeter tried to get her daughter back by refusing to let harvest season come to mortal realm, and killing a bunch of people. At this point Zeus had no choice but to tell Hades to give Persephone back. But Hades did not want to part with her and tricked her into eating pomegranate seeds (the rule is that you must NEVER eat anything from the Underworld or your soul becomes bound to it). Bargain was then made that Persephone would stay in the Underworld for half the year (autumn & winter) and spring would be allowed to come when she returns to the word above.
Basically the reason we have the rotation of seasons is because needy husband of darkness and decay itself gets his soft wife back home :’))
Essentially Hades x Persephone is one of the most badass, ruthless couples in existence and I love them. Light and Dark balance especially.
Don’t be too quick to write Persephone off as an innocent flower or a victim. Persephone was an absolute badass, and was very much feared and respected. To a point her name was forbidden to speak because she was regarded as Dread Queen, and both gods and mortals alike actually feared her more than Hades himself.
A Christmas Carol is so wild to me because it takes not one, not two, but like four fucking ghosts to convince this dude not to be the biggest douche in the universe. Like, four fucking ghosts came back from the dead, rose from the Goddamn grave to be like, “I came back from the dead because you need to quit your shit.” Fuck. How big of an asshole do you have to be to have four fucking ghosts tell you to stop?
Have you ever met a rich capitalist
Also, one of those ghosts was a rich capitalist douche. He needed to reform Scrooge to work off his own sentence, didn’t he?
Marley’s ghost basically told Scrooge that if he kept being a greedy douchebag he would go to hell and Scrooge still needed convincing and that honestly is 100% believable to me
That an old rich white guy being told “Your going to hell unless you help the poor” would respond by going “I still kind of want to NOT help the poor tho?”
Charlie Dickens knew what was up.
Dickens had to work in a factory hos entire childhood. His father was thrown in a debtor’s prison. Thats why all his stories are about rich fucks getting owned.
“Oh I love roses! I try growing them myself, but they never get very far.”
“Would you like to know the secret to healthy rose bushes,” I asked, knowing that she would not like the answer.
“Do tell!”
Grin. “Blood.”
The customer paused, waiting for me to say that I was kidding. But I wasn’t so it never came. She became nervous.
And before I could explain that blood meal is a common soil fixer and fertilizer, she put her hands up, spun around and said-
“Bye.”
You want to know the secrets to a beautiful garden? You better be prepared for some weird shit.
Well someone felt like being the ominous witch in the small, mysterious shop today.
.
…also, tomatoes like blood too.
My interest in plants extends beyond ‘oh look a pretty flower’ and straight into ‘plants are fucking metal.’
Evidently, you’re supposed to plant garlic in the same places as your roses because the garlic will repel a rose-specific aphid.
So what I’m saying is that between the romantic symbolism of the rose, the bloodmeal in the soil, and the fresh garlic all over the place-
You could really set yourself up for an encounter with some VERY pissed vampires.
Roses really love banana skins, too. Just… stick one in there before you plant a rose bush or spronkle around one that’s already in the ground. They’ll adore you.
Mmm… blood banana.
I made tiny ass Home Depot Petunias blossom like magic that they’re nearly overtaking the trellises.
How did I accomplish this?
Once a week I bury a small amount of leftover meat in the soil.
My morning glories loved the crap out of the charred chicken bones I gave them. They’re already an enthusiastic plant, but the blooms I had this year were extraordinary.
