Hey fellow Tumblrs, welcome to my little corner of the community. I'm Christabel (Chrissy to my friends) and I'm a writer. I started writing at school and have been doing it ever since. I've written a bunch of stories and poems, but so far, only two have been published (😔). As soon as I sell anymore, I'll let y'all know... once I'm done with the excited squealing. I'll also be sharing pics of me cosplaying. If you like the cosplay stuff, please consider supporting me at ko-fi.com/christabelq. I'd be super grateful. My other interests include live performance (seeing and creating), music, ancient Egypt and dressing in black. I live in London with my gorgeous girlfriend and our black cat.
Another Tank Girl cosplay shot starring lil old me and my rocket launcher. As you can see, this one is kind of cheeky, and no, the logo isn't a permanent fixture. I ❤️ cosplay, so there's definitely more to come. You can also find me at ko-fi.com/christabelq
Marble Grave Stele of Parthenope the Dog
3rd century AD.
Found in the Castro area (acropolis) of Mytilene, Lesbos.
The epitaph tells us that:
'Here an owner has buried his playful dog, Parthenope, in gratitude for the happiness and mutual love that she brought him.'
Parthenope then addresses us directly:
'Having been a friend to my owner, I deserved this grave. Take the example of this memorial, and find yourself a loyal friend who is both ready to love you while you are alive and also care for you when you die.'
