my special interest mainly covers ancient greek tragedy + its reception, as well as greco-roman norms of gender and sexuality, and some aspects of ancient greek religion. i also write short stories retelling myths. i think about kallisto, antigone, kassandra, iphigeneia, and elektra daily.

i haven’t been talking / posting about anything other than this fic for weeks and i am aware it is very annoying for everyone and i need to find other things to talk about but writing something will really make it take over my entire brain. and finishing and posting it only makes that worse apparently. time to write something else so i can speak about that instead maybe?? i wish i were a less obsessive person & i wish i had interesting things to say about different topics. unfortunately,

#iphis.txt #would people prefer philomela posting. maybe i should write about her so i can philomelapost instead

one part of my own artistic philosophy, which has real moral and political meaning for me, is that the most important task in depicting any human individual, no matter how horrifying, is to track an honest attempt to understand their own motivations and belief system and interior reality, despite how supposedly unaccountable or hard to understand or difficult to confront this may be, and then to communicate that with as much rigor as possible.

#exactly this. and aside from the moral and political implications it usually makes things a lot more interesting than a refusal to #understand a character’s motivations would #writing tag

i wish i could write fic for our share of night but i think all i can do is read the book again and use it to write for other fandoms

#an unknown color is about supernatural not our share of night except for how it’s almost about our share of night. you know #iphis.txt

and what if the character wasn't directly rejected but at every turn they were made to experience situations that made them feel completely irrefutably unwanted. what then
