Well worth reading to the end of a thread combining the mythology of the Old West with the "real" fiction of the new movies.
My Darling Clementine is the best Wyatt Earp film & among the least accurate, despite John Ford knowing Wyatt Earp personally. Contrary to Ford's claims, his film wasn't based on Earp's own account of his time in Tombstone, but rather an earlier film whose director also knew the lawman. A 🧵

Okay, #skystorians, here's a literary question for you:
The most famous setting for the historical romance genre is Regency England (Georgette Heyer, etc).
My guess is that #2 is the Old West, with World War II coming up close behind as it moves more into mythology than memory.

I've been obsessed with Kingfishers for years. Their nature, aesthetics, related mythology. Big attitudes in small packages.

Book Suggestion: The Island of Forgetting
This is an intimate saga spanning four generations of one family who run a beachfront hotel. Loosely inspired by Greek mythology, this is a novel about the echo of deep—and sometimes tragic—love and the ways a family’s past can haunt its future.

I made this for the kid who was supposed to end up in the NICU years ago. It was my riff on those little jellyfish everyone was making for NICU babies. The stuffing is hideous and lumpy by now, but they refuse to let me refill it.

Sköll & Hati spend their days chasing the sun and moon. They believed that they were the ones who made day and night change. They are destined to eventually catch and devour the sun and moon, this cycle only ends at ragnarök.
