You never seen a girl so sad and sorry as I was
The boys in town are all my kin and my father is the pa
If this continue I shall die a single miss
So I'll go to mother and complain to her of this
Oh daughter, haven't I taught you to forgive and to forget
Even if this all is true, still you needn't fret
Your father may be father to all the boys in town, still
He's not the one who sired you, so marry who you will
But it would also cripple a bunch of innocent people who use Microsoft to simply get by. Such as artists, or college students, or high school students. Not to mention the world ramifications so please as someone who uses Microsoft to just like do half of the things I need to to actually pass highschool college and get a degree please do not firebomb their servers
When i was 10, I sent a letter to Lemony Snicket. I didn’t receive a personal reply, but I got one of these. 7 years later I realized that there’s a message
The images are of a reply from Lemony Snicket, an author known for his A Series of Unfortunate Events, a book series aimed at older children. The reply is written in the voice of his narrator character. The narrator shares his pen name and frequently writes in vague references to the reader, who is included in the mystery as the correspondent to whom Lemony Snicket is sending his information.
The reply is titled “via VERY FAST DELIVERY.” The letters V.F.D. play a big part in the series. The note reads:
nly two things are more hazardous than writing to me during these times. They are eating mussels in July and receiving a rep y from me, both of which may leave you feverish, shaking, and alone.
However, it c n also be very uncomfortable to wait day a ter day for a reply that never comes, as I have since my last letter to a dear frie d.
Consequ ntly, I m sending you a lette containing Very Few Details.
Accept my hum le thanks and fervent wishes for your continued safety, as well as the safet of the familiar-looking neighbor with whom you have never spoken.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
Several letters from this note are deliberately missing. If the reader wrote down each letter that was missing, they would spell out: OLAF NEARBY
Count Olaf is the major villain in the series. Lemony Snicket is writing in code, suggesting that he can’t be candid because Olaf may be observing him or the reader. Creepy!
So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.
Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)
Here’s a link to another book that talks about Persephone’s rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.
Oh shit!!
Here’s a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!
Holy pug tacos Batman!!
Here’s another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!
All these fucking books! What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?
A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?
Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.
man the ancient greeks didn’t dare to speak persephone’s name she was that powerful and venerated (they called her Kore, “the maiden”), hades didn’t get that honour
Reblogging for the links until this misapprehension finally ceases.
See also: Seduction and Rape in Greek Myth and Predatory Goddesses, both by classicist Mary Lefkowicz.
EDIT: Finally put together a bibliography of scholarly works about Hades and Persephone with the help of @coloricioso to help refute these old, tired accusations: https://honorthegods.tumblr.com/post/174794576611/honorthegods-hades-and-persephone-side
i would also like to add that discourse about Hades and Persephone is a BIG RED r*dfem T*RF flag. they LOVE to bring it up. (no idea if OP is, but just keep this in mind). they love to make uneducated takes about ancient greek stories in general. if you see a post about it, look at it on desktop and check if the blog is marked by the shinigami eyes extension. check in the notes if an ancient greek history scholar has provided additional context. thank u to the commenters for correcting this one.
Oh thank god finally someone owned them. The pure Euphoria. Dad isn’t a bad guy. Neither is my stepmom. Thank fuck someone finally defended them I was two minutes away from biting out someone’s jugular.

No, The phrase “No shit Sherlock” is used sarcastically as an insult yes. However the actual word Sherlock is rarely ever used as an insult or a compliment
