My texts at three a.m.

"I just really love you and if you don't know that before I go to sleep I'm doing something wrong

Not a normal, "I love you"

Like a

My world would shatter if you asked it to

My universe would cease to exist on your command

My heart would follow you for a billion miles and carry you on the way back

Type of vibe

And if you don't understand that then I've failed"

thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love

[meduseld]

“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?” ― Ovid, Metamorphoses

[dean-winchesters-clit]

This is true no matter the version you're reading.

1. Eurydice trips and Orpheus turns to help her because he loves her.

2. Orpheus cannot hear Eurydice behind him, and fearing that he's been tricked, turns to make sure she's there.

3. Orpheus makes it out of the Underworld, and so full of love and excitement to be with Eurydice, turns to embrace her, forgetting that they both need to be out of the Underworld.

No matter what happens in the story, Orpheus loses Eurydice because his love for her compels him to look.

Orpheus, I can forgive you, then, There’s not a soul alive who wouldn’t have looked back

The Descent, by Tyler King

[princesssarisa]

Don’t forget Gluck’s opera, where Eurydice doesn’t know Orpheus is forbidden to look back, Orpheus is also forbidden to tell her, she assumes he must not love her anymore, and Orpheus finally looks back to reassure her of his love because he can’t bear her anguish.

In that version in particular, but possibly in all retellings, a part of us wants Orpheus to look back, because his failure proves his love.

[forestkodama]

I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found I'd be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee That made him turn around (Hey ya) And I'd be the immediate forgiveness In Eurydice

the fact that im not being cuddled rn is homophobic

concept: going on a late night drive with your girlfriend, no destination in mind as you follow wherever the road leads you, the windows down as you dance and sing along to all of your favorite songs as loud as you can with the wind in your hair and the stars above you.

That teacher is working so hard to keep his cool but I am a teacher, I speak teacher, and that man is having the best day of his entire career

[panicatthefandomboy]

This is the kind of shit teachers sign up for.

Dudes enjoying a kid taking the class serious all prepared for a full on combat discussion.

If you’re teaching that topic and a student walkes in with a full prepared diss track you’re secretly hyped as fuck.

It’s stupid how we forgive someone just because we don’t want to lose them, even when they don’t deserve it.

I want to write you a love letter.

That isnt the title of the next dumb poem I wrote about my depressing love life. I want to write you a love letter. I want to write you something beautiful about you. I’ve always wanted to write a love letter, so message me your address if you’re down. If you want, include a picture so I can tell you how gorgeous you are. Help me achieve my dream to write a sappho-style letter of adoration. Maybe you’ll even want to write back? I just think it’d be really cool. All are welcome, there are no requirements. I just love love letters. If you don’t want to give out your address to a stranger, no worries. I can write a love letter to an email address too. Whatever works for you.

[mysapphicdesire]

Refreshing ya’ll’s memories because I’m really bored but with added bonus of maybe doing Christmas cards? Message me an address and I will pour my heart out in ink. I’ll do it, don’t doubt me. If you’re out of my age range to be madly in love with, I’ll happily become your best friend instead. 

[mysapphicdesire]

Are you okay?

thinking about how very cool and nice it would be to hold a girl’s hand right now

[pastelparrotlet]

Reblog this if you’re pro-receiving a brown paper package containing one (1) handwritten love letter, a small jar of strawberry jam from the farmers market, and a smattering of pressed flowers.
