καλλίστῃ

she languors in silks, draped over chaise lounges, wine-stained red lips and gold and jewels draped over her luscious body. she is the picture of excess, she embodies lust, and her pursuit of pleasure is endless. she achieves it how she can; she knows it’s the only thing worth living for, and she is more than happy to gain at it at the expense of others’ pain.

Indeed, so, so much more beautiful. Although, there is something indescribable about the physical aspect of beauty... Don’t you think? The greeks found it to be the most terrible things, that were the most beautiful. The whole... Flower and serpent metaphor.

It was a frightening thing, to walk among the gods. The very same gods that toiled with mortals lives, one she use to have no so long ago.                                          Psyche had been lucky It had been by the grace of another god, Zeus, that she was alive … I m m o r t a l, now the envied Greek princess was a goddess and one that was still trying to find her place.  She was unsure of how the gods would react to this former mortal now walking among them. Psyche carried a flaming torch as she explored unfamiliar halls

And oh she adored the way the walls shifted in her presence, the way a room darkened ever so slightly, as if just her existence could bend time and space so perfectly, that only a blurry figment of a line remained between the two. Her being was vacuum of sorts, sucking out the life, magnifying it in complicated ways, she glowed with the aura of reckless abandon she permeated.  Her feet of course, had known just where to go to stir up the most trouble, and she had trusted them to lead her there. In front of her was the prize. The newest addition to the coveted walls of Olympus. “Dear, dear Psyche!” Her manic eyes reflected the golden light. She looked like a fierce cat, a coyote stalking its prey. “Lost little one?”

“Ohhhh….right - i’ve heard of it, silly me.” Andy felt her cheeks go red. Netflix was new to her and she only heard about it because of some of the models chattering away about it at one of her shoots. This was not blending in. “I will, it will give me something to do when I get home.” She told her.

“Most people have, darling, it’s alright.” She brushed away the slip casually, although it would seem odd to her, later on. “Do you live alone then?”

He bit his lip as the shiver ran through her body, leaning up to meet her lips as she pulled them together. Marcus slid his hands around to the small of her back, pulling her body flush against him. “I don’t see you complaining,” he grinned after leaning back to catch his breath. He settled back in his chair and ran his hands along her spine, smiling at this one small victory in his favor. “Admit it. You missed me,” before pressing back in to capture her lips in another kiss.

“Oh trust me,” She said, wryly. “If you could hear my thoughts, you wouldn’t be so sure.” Truth be told, she wasn’t complaining. Marcus’ hands knew exactly where to touch her, where it would affect her the most. She didn’t miss him so much, as much as his extensive knowledge of what she did and didn’t like. Though those had grown a fair bit over the last few years. Biting down on his lower lip, she told him this. “I didn’t miss you. Just your tongue.”

“Why would it be ironic? I would choose the ice. Death by fire is so… Horrible. I can’t even imagine the pain.”

[queeneris-blog]

“Well, yes. You’ve got a point there. Painful, but just so much more interesting than ice. in some places, people are already living in a world of ice, anyways, and yet no one lives under a roof of fire. Don’t you find that interesting, to say the least?”

mythology meme - two of two objects: the apple of discord

The wedding of Peleus and Thetis, a sea goddess, was a large event. The wedding was very popular, and most of the important gods and mortals were invited. One goddess who was not invited was Eris, the goddess of discord. She threw a golden apple into the crowd with the words “The Fairest” inscribed on it. Three goddesses, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all claimed the apple should be for them. To resolve the disagreement Zeus appointed Paris, a Trojan prince, to judge the contest. All three goddesses bribed Paris. Hera offered Paris control over Asia. Athena offered him wisdom and victory in battle. Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris picked Aphrodite for the title “The Fairest.” In return Aphrodite helped Paris kidnap Helen, wife of the King Menelaus of Sparta. Stories conflict as to weather if Helen fell in love with Paris (with the help of Aphrodite) and left willingly, or if she was forcefully abducted by Paris. In either case this event set into motion the Trojan War for the next ten years.

Definitely not. Although it’s funny to think there’s people who have not a clue to what we’re referring.

Darren reached into his wallet and dropped a hundred dollar bill on the bar. “Money talks, bullshit walks. People respect that,” he responded flippantly. “I’ll take the blame though.”

[queeneris-blog]

She glanced at the money with little disregard. “Well, that’s one way to make your point.” The drink arrived in minutes. “It’s interesting what people will do for money.” 

[howardplxtt-deactivated20150711]

It’s fine. You don’t have to apologize.

[queeneris-blog]

Understood. It was wonderful meeting you either way. I’ll be on my way now. 

[wisdomofgods-deactivated2015073]

I’m sure one of my friends can lend me a few dollars. I’ll just ask around.

[queeneris-blog]

Good plan. Well, it was lovely meeting you, Aina. I hope to see you around more?

“Deal. Hey! You,” he yelled at the bartender. “Get the lady a drink.”

[queeneris-blog]

She whistled lowly as the bartender hopped to work. “Impressive. Seems like you’ve got some pull over these guys. I like a man in charge.”

“Because I’m just such a fixer. What brings you around.”

“Oh, you know. Disease, famine, strife... Just kidding.” She smiled coldly and held up her drink. “Alcohol.”

I’m always right!” //*Rubs your shoulders* // [TEXT] I can’t stop thinking about all the times you told me you loved me… and wondering if they were lies. (tayricka)

“I don’t care. I don’t give a shit, don’t you get it? I don’t give a flying fuck unless it has to do with you. I love you.” 

His mouth opened slightly only to come to a close once again. She had to know that he felt the same, but this – whatever it was that they had, it wasn’t healthy. He wanted to just let go of everything that they once had, everything that they still had, and let it just dissolve as he had with his and Helen’s relationship. But Ericka was different, there was something about the brunette that wouldn’t allow him loosen his grasp on her. It was magnetic. It was electric. And even now when he was screaming at himself to just let her go and move on, he could feel his body moving closer to her – leaning in, closing the gap between them, and finally crashing into her.
