[the-only-useful-lesbian]

Athena gives you a really cool sword and armor.

Hera offers you a life long and happy

Aphrodite offers you the most beautiful woman in the world. She does not specify if this woman is married or not

[honeysider]

[the-only-useful-lesbian]

Uh oh, she's married to the King of Sparta and now all of her former suitors are after you and they all brought a minimum of 600 soldiers.

[honeysider]

[the-only-useful-lesbian]

Big horse.

No, I am not 'hoarding craft supplies.' I am sourcing materials for a very big project that will be revealed to me at a later date- perhaps in a dream.

[foxmagpie]

all my students in my dystopian film class think gale is a better match for katniss than peeta and i told them they were Objectively Wrong and they assigned me a slideshow for homework to prove it and—

look. these children are about to be destroyed.

[foxmagpie]

my speech was 17 minutes long and when i finished the boy who challenged me to make the slideshow pursed his lips and said "okay fine, you're right, but i'm docking you points for being biased when you called gale a brat baby"
