tbh the more time you spend around open, wild bodies of water like rivers, lakes and seas the more you begin to understand why pretty much every culture in the world has a similar eerie, hypnotically beautiful yet terrifying temptress figure who lures people into the depths to drown them and/or eat them in its folklore representing the seductive call of the water. it really is just like that.

#the figure from my river would be crotchety old man who doesn't like to be bothered #and i would absolutely run to him #i lov that guy #down to the river
