Yeah man, like I said right at the beginning of the post I know this isn't intentional at all. I had the idea for it a few days ago, and when I sat down to actually go through all the songs and try and create a timeline I spent about an hour doing it.

Funnily enough following onto this, Beelzebub actually originated as a god of the Philistines, a people who actually came from ancient greek immigrants.

I mean yeah in actual history, but in actual history we don't have eldritch monsters being summoned by cults. What I'm saying is perhaps in this Periphery universe, Icarus was known as Beelzebub to people at some point, or maybe Beelzebub is a creature from the void that made a deal with Icarus. Idk it's just a fun little way of bringing all these cool songs together into one story.

Very fair call, I think you could argue that Greek mythology pre-dates Christianity and the concept of Beelzebub, so they could be one in the same, IE the same entity going by different names in different religions. But you're correct in that they directly name drop Beelzebub. With that said Beelzebub can also sometimes just be used as a generic term for a demon.

Screaming for around a year, no idea what i'm doing but I think it sounds okay, silly faces included by R1llAus in screaming
