Obsessed, much?
Aug. 23rd, 2007 11:11 pmSo half of my state is under flash flood warnings. It's been raining nonstop for over a week. Sucky. I really miss the sun. And the air not being so stifilingly humid.
GO HSM2! I finally got to see it! SO awesomely gay. Like Chad and Ryan? New otp. And Troy and awesomely over the top falsettos and dancing around by himself on a golf course? Zac Efron, i love you. You somehow made all the cheese, and stupid lessons, and glitter awesome. Disney you kill me.
I really hope now that the poor boy will be able to go on past HSM and get out of the cheesy tv musical thing. He has a great future ahead of him (hairspray, anyone?), but Disney will only typecast him, and make it impossible for anyone on the network to be taken seriously. I mean dear god, the girls from Sister, Sister are still doing Disney movies, and they're almost THIRTY.
Lately, I've been finding myself getting back into mythology again, especially early Germainic, Scandinavian and Celtic myth. I love looking at Welsh and Irish mythos. The Welsh have fantastic early king sagas, and often have references to some of the earliest Arthurian legends, or at least Merlin mythos. And of course the Irish have the Ulster cycle, the cattle raid of cooley, cuchulain, and the Tuatha De Danann. I'm not abandoning my Germanic heritage (cause mapping the differences between continental Germanic myth and Scandinavian Germanic myth will always be one of my loves), but Celtic myth is seriously awesome. It's so familiar, and has a lot of similiarities to Germanic mythos, but is so powerful and well developed and well preserved. So much of continental Germanic myth dating back from the barbarians that sacked Rome has been lost, and a lot of what survived is distinctly Scandinavian flavored (like the Volsungasaga).
Sorry, got a little sidetracked there. Except now I want to write a whole bunch of Supernatural stories featuring Celtic myth. Like ones where the boys see the Wild Hunt, or run into bards, or Finn McCool.
You know what would be awesome? A story that starts; "Dean always knew that Sam was...different", and turns out to be about how when Sammy was eight or so, a Cwn Anwnn followed him home, and it turns out that the boys are somehow now tied in with the feuding gods and mortals of Wales and eventually Ireland.
And Sam somehow needs ties with Gwynn ap Nudd, and Dean has a lot of similarities to Mabon (really, any god of the hunt, and of humanity and the flesh. Dionysus, Baldr, sometimes Thor, a lot of the great heroic mortals, etc.)
Man, I just really want to create a whole mythology!Verse for SPN, where each series takes place in a different area of myth.
Seriously, I DO NOT NEED to get into this. I need to focus on school, not on hobbies and hot men. Damnit, that is so not going to happen.
