โLike you see yourself outside yourself? Sometimes I dream like that.โ Most of the time,ย even in her artistic brain, she was too grounded in herย emotions to lose her grip on reality completely.ย โWell maybe they do, but Iโm not from here and I love it. Iโve been waiting my whole life for someone to hold a boombox over their head outside my window for me.โ It was 100% her just being jokey, but she also had a hard time imagining a scenario where it wouldnโt sweep her off her feet.ย โOkay, Iโm down. What do you know about Cassiopeia? Iโm curious.โ She knew of the myth โ in fact, sheโd painted it before. But she wanted to hear his version of it.
โExactly like that. Itโs so weird, right? Sometimes I feel like I have memories where Iโm seeing myself outside my body. Itโs like my brain has got a faulty filing system.โ Dax shrugged, not really knowing an exact explanation, but he did believe in astral projection.ย โI would totally Say Anything you. Peter Gabrielโs In Your Eyes is such a feel good song. Perfect choice for that scene.โ Dax said adamantly with a nod.ย โWhere to even begin.โ Dax took a breath as he eyed the constellations above them.ย โWell, okay. Cassiopeia was always known as a vain or boastful queen, but it wasnโt just on herself, it was on her daughter. She said that Andromeda was more beautiful than all the nymph daughters of the sea god Nereus. This totally pissed off Poseidon so he took his wrath on flooding the country. Cassiopeia freaked out, and approached an oracle, which told her the only way to appease Poseidon was to sacrifice her daughter Andromeda. This is the major plot twist, after Andromedaโs mom chained her to a rock near the ocean for a sea monster to eat her, Perseus arrives to save Andromeda and kills the sea monster. Poseidon was even more pissed by this, so he placed Cassiopeia on a chained throne for the rest of her afterlife as punishment and symbolism that sheโd have rather sacrificed her own daughter than herself. Hence why the constellation looks like her in a throne.โ He said with a nod, taking a breath after the winded explanation.ย
