i don’t think you understand how obsessed i am with the concept of the forest as a mythic concept... like... don’t even know how to describe this... But like the forest has been this terrifying concept for centuries. It’s a dark, unknown place filled with dangerous creatures. Like honestly terrifying. Yet it’s almost always the place Heroes have to journey into in mythic stories. It just... it scratches some itch in my brain and i love it. ALSO THE OCEAN IT’S THE SAME THING BUT WATER the ocean was literally untamable thousands of years ago. People were subject to it’s whims. No wonder they associated with a god who was quick to anger and unpredictable.
