“Achilles and Penthesilea” In my art history class my professor showed us this pot with a painting of Achilles and Penthesilea (the second picture) with Achilles in the act of killing her. The myth goes that Achilles went after the Amazonian warrior queen Penthesilea and killed her and just as his spear went into her chest their eyes met and they fell deeply in love, but they knew that their love was futile because…Achilles had just stabbed Penthesilea and she was dying. I thought that the story was really tragic and beautiful and I wanted to redo the pottery painting in my own style (borrowing from the Greek style of design) and giving them actual emotion in their eyes so you actually believed they were falling in love and also feeling great sorrow because they couldn’t be together.

#crazy ex girlfriend #I mean probably not illegal but obviously there's always room for improvement #and I also really don't understand it too well #like soccer is pretty simple even if you don't know the rules and regulations #but you have to admit football is kinda convoluted but once you get past the basic premise it starts to make sense #but it's still confusing to follow especially since the game is always stopping and referees are constantly convening to discuss stuff #uh basically I find it overly complex and frustrating so it's too much for me #anyways moving on...

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.
