A jealous god creates a universe and places an androgynous creature that he separates into two complementary beings. In spite of the traps set by the atrabilic god, the creatures will not stop wanting to meet again.
Atrabilic should probably be translated as atrabilious or melancholic (the latter is a better translation, imo)
Lol had to look that one up myself, it’s how the author wrote it. Funny enough you said what the dictionary said. Language is an ever changing and morphing object. Any attempt to keep it static would be like trying to keep the ocean still by grasping at it with your bare hands.
Oh, absolutely. If people understand you, it’s successful language, even if you don’t vocab traditionally :)
I just suspect it’s a mistranslation from the original author because the only English existence online of this word that I can find is various postings of this animation.

Thanks, I’ve got tons of these saved. Just another refugee from reddit and looking to build a community here. I’ll slowly share more. That said you’re free to explore Vimeo yourself, there’s lots of gold in those hills.
