Reading list subject: Greek deities doing weird shit

you know, I should have recs for this, but the things people find fun and humorous about the Greek gods are not the things I find fun and humorous about them, so most attempts at this mostly get on my nerves

To... do what??

[verdiprati]

Happy Lesbian Day of Visibility to those who are celebrating, and thank you Helena for reblogging the original. Seeing Lulu and Geschwitz again made my day.

🌟 💙 ✈️ ☕️ 🍪 📚

🌟 what do you like about yourself? (must choose at least 3 things!)

lmao.............. my intellect my slowly forming biceps and my memory

💙 what annoys you about some people?

lack of compassion and understanding, laziness

✈️ what is your dream city and why?

idk if i have one, especially given that i’m really not That well-travelled. i do very much like Munich bc it feels close to home in its atmosphere/architecture etc without the suffocating semi-fascism and slowly collapsing economy.

☕️ talk about your ideal day

my ideal day is every second i spend outside of Hungary and in good weather lmao but probs anything that involves me waking up to sunshine, having a nice breakfast, going for a stroll and getting to see an opera

🍪 what did you want to be as a kid, and what do you want to be now?

i really wanted to be a vet? now it’s opera critic which still seems moderately unattainable + professor which is probably less out of reach, i’m cool with either

📚 share 3 books that you love and your favourite quote from them.

1. Primo Levi - Se questo è un uomo

...Ma misi me per l’alto mare aperto.

Di questo sì, di questo sono sicuro, sono in grado di spiegare a Pikolo, di distinguere perché «misi me» non è «je me mis», è molto più forte e più audace, è un vincolo infranto, è scagliare se stessi al di là di una barriera, noi conosciamo bene questo impulso. L’alto mare aperto: Pikolo ha viaggiato per mare e sa cosa vuol dire, è quando l’orizzonte si chiude su se stesso, libero diritto e semplice, e non c’è ormai che odore di mare: dolci cose ferocemente lontane.

2. J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings

Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.

3. Paula Vogel - Indecent

ASCH: Ask her if there's anything in her charts that can map the disintegration of the Jewish psyche due to centuries of persecution?!

✏️🌟🎥🙈🌎🍴

✏️ Want any tattoos?

I really want a black fern, like this one, on my right arm! 

🌟 A wish you’ll wish for?

Stability, which I have, and the belief that my stability is true and lasting, which I don't have. 

🎥 Top 5 favorite movies?

I...don't watch movies. But I did like the Camelot musical with Richard Burton and Vanessa Redgrave, and La Grande Illusion made me cry (they're in Switzerland!). 🙈 What makes you shy?

Everything. I feel too big, awkward physically and mentally, I don't know what to say, I don't know how to progress from "hey how are you" to "randomly texting pictures of ridiculous shoes," I don't know what people talk about. 

🌎 A country you would visit?

I want to go back to Scotland! I want to go to the Highlands and hike and take pictures. 

🍴 Favorite food(s) to eat?

Ice cream, lamb, duck, raspberries, cherries, blackberries...
