kallowayTo be honest, especially with revelations and canon changes/additions since I wrote this, I'm posting this more for general amusement than anything else.
Back nearly a decade ago, as a soon-to-graduate senior in college, I took a combined Religions/Women's Studies course about goddesses. Of course there are two ways for a class like that to go. Luckily, it ended up being a blast. An educational blast, of course, but a blast nonetheless. It often involved things like fanfic and the instructor giving us grenadine to make us all immortal (at least for the duration of class).
For our final paper, we had the option of writing a non-academic paper on a goddess-related subject of our choosing. I am fairly sure that meant 'it is May, please write something that fills a few pages and enjoy getting an 'A' on it, we both have better things to do.' I had played Final Fantasy VII the semester before and was just finding out about all of the other FF games.
It is a good thing that cites weren't required... Most of them would have been Geocities or 'my friend told me'. Which is also to say that there may be some errors or points of contention - I'm certainly not going to stand behind it at this point. (But I might point and laugh.)
Anyway, enough with the introduction...
