WHICH TRAGIC CHARACTER FROM ANCIENT GREEK LITERATURE ARE YOU?

PENTHEUS.ㅤyou are pentheus from the bacchae by euripides, and you hold yourself so tightly wound together and so perfectly in place that even the slightest push will make you shatter.ㅤyou are determined, you are headstrong, and you are addicted to pushing yourself to your farthest limits just to see when you'll snap.ㅤyou find comfort in tradition, order, and authority, because that's where you are allowed to be blind to the darkness inside you.ㅤonce in a while, give into the temptation and the chaos you keep denying yourself.ㅤit's the only way to not be afraid anymore.

@highevar​   sent:   ❛ i hope you haven’t been standing out in the cold this whole time. ❜

they   had   made   up   from   the   events   of   the   night   before   ——   they   were   okay.   he   wasn’t   hiding   out   because   he   was   afraid   to   face   her,   but   rather   because   he   still   didn’t   know   how   to   even   begin   to   process   what   happened   during   the   events   of   the   landsmeet   days   before.

he   never   wanted   this   information   to   be   made   public.   he   barely   wanted   to   tell   elethea,   the   person   closest   to   him,   the   most   important   person   to   him.   he   was   okay   with   her   knowing,   but   with   every   noble   in   ferelden   knowing?   how   long   would   it   be   before   word   of   his   status   began   to   spread?   how   long   until   people   began   to   proposition   him   for   something   he   could    never   give?   how   long   until   someone   attempted   to   harm   him   over   this?   he   already   felt   their   gazes,   people   who   would   never   pay   him   the   time   of   day   because   of   his   job   and   tipped   ears   beginning   to   plot   just   how   king   maric’s   illegitimate   son   could   help   their   kingdom.

“   no,   not   the   whole   time.   ”    his   head   ducks,   hand   rests   against   the   back   of   his   neck.   his   ears   turn   red,   almost   embarrassed   that   he’d   been   caught   this   deep   in   thought.    “   i   just   needed   some   time   to   think.   there   was   .   .   .   a   lot   that   happened   that   i   just   needed   some   time   to   go   over.   but   i   think   i’ve   got   it   managed   now.   ”    he   didn’t   ——   but   he   could   deal   with   it   later,   once   elethea   had   fallen   asleep.    “   were   you   waiting   for   me?   lets   go   get   breakfast.   ”

his face expresses everything his mouth does notㅤ--ㅤan adorable fault that she had long ago taken note of.ㅤsomething was clearly eating away at him, though with their argument settledㅤ&ㅤmended, there were still hundreds of things that could have been troubling him.ㅤtheir most daunting task was still ahead of them, and beyond that there was much to occupy their worries.ㅤelethea was not well - versed in such matters, usually she would have been content to let him deflect and continue on with her day, but who knew how much time they had left?ㅤif these were to be their final days, she would not let him spend them swallowing his pain.

"i woke to an empty bed"ㅤshe explains simply, breezing past his attempt at deflection.ㅤit was unusual now to wake alone without his arms around her, or her head upon his chest.ㅤespecially after their few nights spent in anger, sleeping separately, she had been eager to make up for lost time.ㅤinstead, she woke alone.

pushing up on her toes, she drapes her arms about his shoulders, clasping her hands behind his neck.ㅤpulling him down so she might press their foreheads together, looking into his eyes.ㅤ"you think i cannot tell when something is troubling you?"ㅤshe whispers, nudging her nose against his before pressing a quick kiss to his lips.ㅤ"what is it?"
