I am known as The Pen, death by being Caesar'd with pens, and the owner of this Tumblr blog. Yes, “The Pen” is not my real name - it was just one of my pseudonyms. But nobody needs to know my real name and my other pseudonyms :)
Anyway, now that you have stumbled upon here and wanted to know what to expect from me, here are some things you can jot down!
1. I am an everything enthusiast.
This is a fancy way to say that my content is very inconsistent. Most of the time, I brainrot over Greek gods and heroes and everything in between, especially Apollo and Hyacinthus. I'm also interested in other mythological pantheons or non-mythology topics, which you'll come to see.
But my hyperfixation of something does not make me an expert. Everything you see on my blog should only prompt you to learn more about the “new thing” I just discovered, not accept it as a fact right away. I might be wrong. I might be missing something. I have a lot to dig through, and so do you.
2. I am a professional shitposter.
If the discoveries are too complicated and must be written in an essay with the 1000 words minimum to fully explain them, fear not! I cannot write lengthy analyses without my pea-size brain exploding, so I will make them into memes to be more digestible.
Other than that, I will be writing incorrect quotes, doodling fanarts, and cooking other shitposts and shenanigans for no reason at all!
3. I am an amateur writer.
If the incorrect quotes are too long, I will write them into oneshots, long stories, or even series. I'm trying to improve my weird grammar and wording because English is not my first language, but I promise nothing.
My works are on Archive Of Our Own (GotStabbedByAPen). Also, also, I'm currently writing an Apollo/Hyacinthus fic trilogy called Singing For A Flower, so check out that introduction post if you're interested!
That is all you need to know for now. Whether my blog is educational or entertaining or neither is up to you to decide. I still hope you have a good time here!
Thanks for sticking to the end. Don't forget to stay safe, stay sane, and keep making the good stuff!
you can see the atmosphere. that halo around the edge, that's my air. the green on the upper right is my aurora. those are my clouds, my sunlight.
and its yours! this is your home. this is the home of everyone you ever heard of and everyone you will ever meet. every animal you've been curious about. every plant you've ever picked, and sniffed. its mine and its yours and its theirs. everything is here. its all that i have. its all that you have too.
im fucking crying ragatha was so terrified by the vague image of her own mother that she didnt even flinch when that last knife hit her. more people need to talk about this because it so accurately represents the fear victims have for their abusers. even being stabbed with a literal knife isnt as terrifying as the person who controls you
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.
Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.
It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
When you give out assignments, have you ever thought of putting all of task descriptions, instruction guidelines, marking criteria, and any other information regarding said assignment into ONE SINGLE NEAT FILE instead of scattering them all over the place and make the students go on a side quest just to collect all of the pieces by themselves?
Oh, and have you heard of the word CONSISTENCY before? Because the instruction guideline and marking criteria contradict each other so much I'm sure as hell they're written by two people who have never met or communicate but both share the goal of fucking student all over for a good laugh while raising our university fee every year.
