My first idea hovers around the idea of "What happens if Hell froze over?" I'm imagining using Hades as my mythical being suffering from the effects of climate change. This centers around the phenomena of polar regions/the ice caps melting and having climate regions shift because of human emissions and behaviors. I'm imagining using Disney's version of Hades since he uses many facial expressions to describe his emotions as well as his sense of humor.
My second idea is using the African mythical creature Crocotta to discuss the issue of free speech and censorization. Crocotta is said to mimic the voices of human speech to trick and lure them to their deaths. I am considering using a juxtaposition of using hate speech of a white supremiscist group specifically the KKK and Crocotta since he is from African mythology. I feel comfortable approaching this topic in a respectful yet impactful way since I have lived experience as an African American that has experienced the effects of hate speech recently.
