do not ever let me start yapping about the way people talk about Hades and Persephone and Demeter because I will never stfu again

[chronicallyblonde]

my favorite thing about latin? finding out that hendecasyllabic meter, which catullus used, is also used in the first line of the chorus of weezer’s hit song buddy holly. thus, you can sing catullus 16 to weezer, and boy oh boy if i didn’t have fun with that one

hey so my fic is now published! It’s a kind of AU of the Iliad where Aeneas (the prince of Troy that diomedes threw a rock at) escaped the city and has a Odyssey type adventure where he ends up founding Rome (but not really it’s complicated)

#thank you so much to Octavian #made sure to bring you and your family line up in there dw #imagine he’s actually on here #mea scribens #Aeneid

This is the new statue me and my friends were commissioned to make. It shows Octavian Augustus triumphantly positioned, with depictions of gods on his chest plate representing his divine lineage.

No because I am FINE with my one Sabine Estate. Because if you think about it, we’re all going to die and end up in the same place anyway. So, like, am I mad that all my other homes were confiscated by the state??? Obviously not, why would I be

Hey guys and gals! Did any of you guys read @vergil’s fic and think “why didn’t Dido get mad at Aeneas and yell at him for leaving her”? (I’m not saying it’s sexism but 😬) So anyway I’ve updated my fic (where I take women from famous plays and poems and give them more agency) to have an Aeneid chapter! Link below the cut

yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"

yes conservatism is on the rise yes tradwife content is as popular as ever yes pink jobs and blue jobs are fucking stupid BUT there is still such a big change in how straight women are talking about relationships online.

they're talking about how they're no longer interested in dating because their female friends treat them better than boyfriends do. they're realizing that being single is always better than being in a bad relationship. it's becoming a lot more normal and fun and hot for women to be single at any age. the women who have settled down with truly good men in truly happy relationships are encouraging other women to not take any shit because the right man won't need to be "trained". they're talking about how their mothers and grandmothers warned them to get a job and not get married, and they followed the advice.

tradwife content is performance. it's propaganda. there are so few women actually living that life. but we know for a fact that more women than ever are educated, working, and single. and all I see (admittedly in my woke ass algorithm) is women talking about how they're done settling for mediocre relationships. and I love it.

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

Radfems talk about gender abolition but cling to the principle that there is a clear inherent biological difference between them and their male oppressors, something those patriarchal male oppressors also fundamentally believe. Gender is a social construct but so is sex; there are specific scientific differences between people that can be established (chromosomal, hormonal, anatomical, whether they are infertile, can give birth or can fertilise eggs) but how we group those characteristics together or what significance we give to them is 100% societally determined. Trans women are oppressed under the patriarchy because they belong to the social category of women; what chromosomes you have or not has jack shit to do with whether you are affected by the gender pay gap or catcalling or gender based violence

“there’s not one true myth to end all myths” okay, like, yeah, but also sometimes there kind of is and it’s the homeric hymn to demeter

[hakuuuei]

if the homeric hymn to demeter has million number of fans i am one of them . if the homeric hymn to demeter has ten fans i am one of them. if homeric hymn to demeter have only one fan and that is me . if the homeric hymn to demeter has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against homeric hymn to demeter, i am against the world
