I am... still not really sure what I make of her brief but impactful influence on my life thus far. It has caused a few laughs, a lot of head-scratching, and more than one synchronicity-coincidence type of event that lead me to throw up my arms and say, "Well, I guess that's how it is, then!" XD
My impression of her mythology is that she gets a bad rap. In my experience she's not particularly out to cause anyone harm or help them. She just likes to mix things up, and if you need mixed up, you might come out better for it--and even if not, you'll at least laugh. It also helps that she inspires some of my favorite people.
Holy smokes. Finally someone also with a connection to Eris! I can totally relate!
I accepted Eris as an influence on my life one Friday as I was eating a corn dog and thinking about how ridiculous everything is. Up to that point it was like, "Well, maybe these are all good thoughts, but I don't know what to think about the-"
"NOPE. Gonna cut you off right there Chrys and make you realize that about 5 different things you just read about me apply specifically to you eating this corn dog in this moment, so you're gonna acknowledge that i'm a thing in your life now."
And up went the arms, "Holy shit!"
And there was laughter.
