” It’s a way to exteriorize all my shit. To scream and cry and laugh on-screen, it’s almost like black magic. You can do anything. I’m a dreamer, so that’s a good job for me. Onstage is the only place I can fully express myself.” - Eva Green
Greek Mythology Dreamcast - Thandie Newton as Styx
And there in Hades is housed a goddess loathed even by the immortals: dreaded Styx, eldest daughter of Oceanus, who flows back on himself, and apart from the gods she lives in her famous palace which is overroofed with towering rocks…and Zeus sends Iris to carry the many-storied water that the gods swear their great oath on … Such an oath did the gods make of the imperishable, primeval water of Styx; and it jets down through jagged country.

#shapeshifter stories where she doesn’t get to control the shape or the transformation #being punished for being too inconstant too disloyal #Would you love me if i was anything but what I am? #no one who has ever loved her has ever known the answer to that #too enormous to be imagined to slippery to be pinned in place #if she held still they would love her better if she had held still they never would have loved her at all

#she terrifies men because she forces them into their true shapes #she is the sea there is no room for pretense in her #she will not allow anyone to render her less than what she is #she will not allow others to be anything than what they are #barbossa is a corpse and davy jones is nothing more than shell and bone and ruin dredged up from the ocean floor #’calypso’ is greek for ‘to conceal to hide’ and that is her root#she is the truth waiting to devour you from beneath

“Bitter pain seized Demeter’s heart, and she rent the covering upon her divine hair with her dear hands: her dark cloak she cast down from both her shoulders and sped, like a wild-bird, over the firm land and yielding sea, seeking her child. But no one would tell her the truth, neither god nor mortal man; and of the birds of omen none came with true news for her.”
