Cydippe with the Apple of Acontius (c.1640). Paulus Bor (Dutch, 1605-1669). Oil on canvas. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

This scene is taken from the Heroides by the Roman poet Ovid. When Cydippe went to make an offering at the temple of Diana, Acontius, who was secretly in love with her, threw an apple inside with the following words written on it: ‘I swear by the sanctuary of Diana that I will marry Acontius.’ Cydippe read the words aloud, thus turning them into a solemn vow.

Kydippe: Hera, great goddess, please do your faithful priestess a favour and grant to her two sons, who helped her honour you properly, the best possible thing for human beings.

Hera: Sure, here you go.

Kydippe's two sons: Die that very night.

Kydippe: ...... Thank you?

As a person who is already pretty mediocre about communication, how can i explain complicated, not well known about issues without sounding whiny and self absorbed, or should i even bother at all? Thanks.

If your intention is to explain issues and not to whine then you probably would do a better job at it that you are giving yourself credit for. You can try to anticipate the reactions that you will get and address them in advance. You have to keep in mind that if the people you are talking to are unreceptive or combative in the first place, it doesn't matter how much effort you put into your explanation, it won't get through to them. But that has nothing to do with you.

HOT DAMN YOU ARE GOOD AT SPRITING. Do you have any tutorials on homestuck sprites, and if not, do you think you could make one?

Thank you! It's really a matter of practice/time spent working on them like all artistic things. I am not great with tutorials but I did write up a short post with some of the important things to keep in mind when spriting: http://fantrollhell.tumblr.com/post/74067381618/

I'd be happy to answer any specific questions anyone has as best as I can, though.
