It sounds like the monsters realm from stranger things but given what is taking place its probably your love letter thread Now now, the demigorgon is a dungeons and dragons original I've been playing a lot of neverwinter Downe in the bottome of the deepe Abysse Quoting: wikiWhere Demogorgon in dull darknesse pent, Farre from the view of Gods and heauens blis, The hideous Chaos keepes, their dreadfull dwelling is. — (Book IV, Canto ii, stanza 47) Demogorgon is the central character in Voltaire's 1756 short story "Plato's Dream" - a "lesser superbeing" who was responsible for creating the planet Earth. He is also the protagonist of an opera Il Demogorgone, ovvero il filosofo confuso ("Demogorgon, or the Confused Philosopher" by Vincenzo Righini (1786) with a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, which originally was written for Mozart.[10] In Moby-Dick, the first mate of the ship, Pequod, Starbuck, describes the white whale as the demogorgon of the ship's "heathen crew" (see ch. XXXVIII, paragraph 2). Demogorgon also appears as a character in Percy Bysshe Shelley's Prometheus Unbound. In this lyrical drama, Demogorgon is the offspring of Jupiter and Thetis who eventually dethrones Jupiter. It is never mentioned whether Demogorgon, portrayed as a dark, shapeless spirit, is female or male. The theory of Demogorgon's name originating from Greek demos and gorgos may be the foundation for its use in this text as an allusion to a politically active and revolutionary populace.[11] Shelley's allusions to the French Revolution further support this.[original research?] In the poem "Demogorgon" by Álvaro de Campos, the writer is afraid of becoming mad by learning the true nature and unveiling the mystery of life.[12] Demogorgon appears as the name of a demon prince in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. |

I have this place I guess I just call it space for name sake but I like your proposed name, so just like that, I get to name this little piece of space in my head, the Demigorgon's library. My reality has bent a tiny fraction today. Keep up the work. I was thinking about creating a space on GLP called my laboratory but that's for another time. |

Quoting: Light of my Little Left Eye ok.. you want to hear this story and i was going to give you a story about a girl, gravity and a life path but this is not my story, this is your precious story, your precious experience. To tell you my perception would be ego. So.. If you want to know this story, it might start with going back to the little child, that little ball of Joy, the light of their parents eye, and the first time you ever felt alone or unloved. How old were you, what was it...see it. no need to tell me but see it, when did your heart start to close to Joy There are 2 words that stand out, FORGIVENESS and SELF LOVE, if you take steps with these words, that which you are will take steps towards you and in those moments you will know what you know. Maybe sit quietly in a gentle space, putting your hands on your heart and smiling your smile to your heart, seeing your heart smiling back. Bewing there in that space. If you want a guided meditation for this i can give one. Be gentle on your self :) |
