A Princess of Monsters

 She travels on foot through the mountains, living off lost children and wild green things, all mud and torn lace and red bramble scratches.

Celaeno

-

In Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas and his men who fled the Troy reach the harpy island. Men slaughter and feast on wild cattle that belonged to the bird-maidens. Enraged by their behaviour, Celaeno (the dark harpy) curses them. She says that Troyans will reach Italy, but until then, they will suffer from big famine.

" you shall go to Italy, and enter her harbours freely: but you will not surround the city granted you with walls until dire hunger, and the sin of striking at us, force you to consume your very tables with devouring jaws."

whenever i start to feel imposter syndrome creeping up on me, i just remind myself that imposter syndrome would require my having achieved some kind of status or real position in my career and i'm still scraping by on grunt-tier seasonal jobs. so i might feel inadequate but i'm exactly where i should be for that.

spanish films are weird as fuck in the way people THINK german films are, german films are lowkey simmering with passion the way people think french films are, french films are rather nihilistic in the way people think german films are. and italian films are all three and feature way more cock.
