if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit
just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin
ḱerberos means “spotted”
that’s right
hades, lord of the dead, literally fucking named his pet dog spot

The Real Abandoned Overlook Hotel
Unlike the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, this hotel is really named the Overlook. The abandoned hotel is located in the small, wine growing town of Bernkastel-Kues in Germany. Other than it has been unoccupied for about 13 years, there is no information as to why the hotel was closed. All of the furniture remains and it looks as if everyone there simply left. There are rumors that the hotel is haunted. According to urban explorers who frequent the spooky site, cameras malfunction, sounds can be heard throughout the premises and items seem to move around the hotel by themselves.
Today at school:
Girl from my class: But suicide is kind of selfish. Do people who kill themselves even think about how much they hurt their friends and families?
Me: People who kill themselves have a fucking illness called depression. They feel mentally alone even though they may have friends or other people who care about them. They can sit in a room full of people and feel so lonely inside. Yes, they do think of the people around them. But they feel like those people don't need them or don't really care. Could you take it to feel lonely all the time? Could you take it to feel like everyone's better off without you? Could you take it to hate yourself for not being good enough for anyone? No, you couldn't and other people can't either. So don't you dare to say that suicide is selfish because it's fucking not.
