SEND ‘🥓’, THEY HAVE TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY. IF THE EMOJI CANNOT BE SEEN, SEND ‘Bacon’.
" MY FATHER WAS an intelligent man. An intelligent man who, unfortunately, couldn’t be stopped when it came to his own ideas. “
Beneath the wraps on her hands, Athene could almost feel the rough canvas of his lab-coat on her palms, entwined in her fingers as if to catch his attention. And the slow turn of his head as, with a huff, he reminded her that ‘he was working, and could not be disturbed right now.’ Of course, followed up by a second grumbled statement : ‘Why don’t you go ask your sisters for help?’
Much different were the memories of her mother. The feelings associated with her were all warm ones, reminiscent of a cup of hot chocolate on a winter day. Her little hands brushing through her mother’s feathers, being held in those protective wings, having everything turn out alright --
Ah, weren’t those the days.
“ But I won’t say much. He provided a lovely life to my sisters and I, after all. In fact, I think I could refer to him as a ‘good parent’. “ She waved her hand as if to dismiss someone. Or perhaps the thoughts in her mind. “ But he wasn’t social with me, and with all his other family members to care for, how could he be ? “
SEND ‘🍳’, THEY HAVE TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE WHO INSPIRES THEM. IF THE EMOJI CANNOT BE SEEN, SEND ‘Fried Egg’.
“ AESTHETICS-WISE AND not, I find myself being inspired by actresses in older films. Specifically, ones who didn’t fear dressing differently. Those who didn’t fit the bill of ‘thin, tan, and blonde,’ but made their own way regardless. One that comes to mind is Maila Nurmi, perhaps better known as ‘Vampira.’ “
“ At the time of her career, dressing darkly was seen as completely subversive. Actresses needed to appeal to the male gaze rather than look how they wanted, or they’d hardly make it past their debut. Seeing her was a breath of fresh air, especially as a child with interests in the odd and mysterious. “
Athene quiets down a bit, noticing how she’d hyper-focused on the topic at hand.
“ Ah, but I’ll step off my soapbox now. If you wanted a lecture about changing times and changing social norms, you’d go take a class on it instead of hearing my rants on the topic. “
