oh good point! I would actually like to know

i answered this in my other thread hehe:

Q: how do you pronounce your username? and what does it mean?


A: "Tall-May". The link is in my sig, but "Ptolemaea" is the title of Ethel Cain's arguably most popular song, due to her intense scream around the 3:50 mark (timestamped in sig). It's also my favorite song of hers. The backstory fits in to her album "Preacher's Daughter", which I can link an explanation to (I already introduced another user to her through this song lol hehe).

Spoiler: tw

It's harder to understand without knowing the backstory but here's the song synopsis:

Under the influence of Isaiah’s drugs, Ethel begins to hallucinate. She confronts the darkness.

The song name is inspired from Alighieri’s Divine Comedy [specifically Dante’s Inferno] Ptolemea, named after Ptolemy, is a circle of Hell in which the traitorous reside. Maybe this is a reference to Ethel abandoning her family and faith – only to be met with a wrath far worse.

It's a symbol of not only feminine rage, but being a victim at the same time- and that's very powerful. Not being the victim of a path you chose, but the horrific outcome that came with it instead. And being enraged about it too. I can say that about many situations in my life sadly (thankfully not currently). This song is very unique in its storytelling sense and many don't get it because they find it scary, but that's what makes it so good. When I changed my username I wanted it to be something edgy that I liked, but also a bit of a personal "fuck you" in a sense (I won't elaborate lol), and that's why I chose it. I love this song bc it's what made me a fan. Live, love, Ethel. Blessed be the Daughters of Cain <3

I would never have guessed how to pronounce it, you do not want to hear how I said it before
