milk, dagger, casket! (also ink if u want to)

ty!!! ilu!!!

• milk: your family

mom, dad, three sisters. sisters are all younger than me. very uncontrollable. today they were arguing about where manchester is (scotland??? england?? france?? who knows) while my parents played table football and i read hamlet and drank chocolate milk. we were at a nice restaurant. this is all you need to know about my family.• dagger: tell a secret that you have

when i was little i used to hide in the back of the history barnes and noble so no one could find me and i could read all day. this drove my grandmother nuts.

• casket: believe in an afterlife?

one of my main areas of specialization when it comes to history is the history of the catholic church and european religion so it’s pretty difficult to stay detached from believing/not believing but honestly??? i know there’s something out there; i just don’t know what.

• poem: ares, can you hear? do you see me beating at the walls of your battlefield? of mine? aphrodite, o goddess of the morning sun that lit me golden as if i was entombed already: where are you now? i’ll kiss her hand and tell her i am sorry with lips of blood: it is my fault, o my queen; give me strength and call out to the earth’s benevolent darkness, welcome at last after the heat, torment of fire- hades? can you hear me now?

what's your favourite movie adaptation of a book?

oooh that’s such a good question. it’s not a movie but I want to say first that my absolute favourite book to screen adaptation ever is the granada 1981 series brideshead revisited, which is honestly one of the best tv shows ever made. it’s beautiful, and every aspect of it is perfect - the script, acting, music, cinematography, all of it. but since you said movie, I’ll also mention a single man, brokeback mountain, atonement, and maurice, all of which I absolutely love to death and feel that they really captured the essence of the original books.

have you read the Aeneid? and, if so, who's your favourite between Aeneas and Hektor? (if not, who's your favourite between Patroklos and Hektor?)

I have! I got to study it in classics. That’s really tough though, because I love them both. My favourite part of the Aeneid is when Aeneas tells the story of the fall of Troy and how he goes back to find his wife when she disappears from their group, that always endeared me to him. But I also really love the part in the Iliad (book 6 I think?) when Hector’s wife Andromache begs him not to fight. I guess overall probably Aeneas because Hector did finish off Patroclus and I’m still a little angry about that lmao

ask me anything!

Night at the Museum!

i haven’t seen it but i can guarantee my favorite scenes would be the ones with rami malek because he’s gorgeous and i’ve seen him as patroclus in so many song of achilles manips. :p

hello i was just wondering if you knew that spookeurydice basically plagiarised your updates tab

!!!!

oh! um. 

...i don't really mind? i mean i don't code for a living or w/e. some of that stuff was a pain in the arse to do (fffffont familieeeees) but it's-- uh. it's not my pride and joy? 

yeah. thanks for warning me, anon! :D 

[slaymate]

i ADORE your hades artwork can i get it as a tattoo?????

(OKAY WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I'D GET THIS ASK ONE DAY AAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhH)

Here I was panicking and asking myself which of my shitty works someone would want to permanently adorn their body, but now I guess you mean that terribly old two-panel comic? Oh god, okay, oh god. Um, you have my blessing. And if you really go through with it, I'd be glad if you could take pictures to satisfy my curiosity!

That's all. Go ahead, I'm so overwhelmed, thank you for asking for permission first!
