a little wicked.

She had the beauty to make stars weep tears of pearls. To make the ocean an immense burning stake with a smile. To reduce empires to dust, to mere memories with a laugh. And to make her enemies cry for ( M E R C Y ) as she marches. Vengeance in her right hand, Revolt in her left, D E A T H always to her side. No wonder men bow before her, worship her, venerate her. Her beauty is strength and power, sublime as a storm raging above the ocean, relentless as the tide, merciless as the passing of time. Persephone/Lyra. 19yo. ISFP. Brazilian. Chaotic neutral. Roleplay blog (1x1).

if you're in the throes of cosmic despair i cannot recommend museums enough. art or science or history it doesn't matter. oh we're all connected, all of us and everything, throughout all time and space, and no one, no one, no one is alone? awesome. that's what i thought i just wanted to make sure.
