Hey and welcome! I'm just a big nerd tending to the memes on my little patch of tumblr. I love Latin, books, video games, dnd, Shakespeare, and being a walking trans meme. If you need a name to call me, Violet works, and they/them pronouns are the way to go. Stuck in my head: I guess this isn't quite the end. x

If Hadestown has a moral, she says, then it’s “you have to try, you have to have hope, not because success is a given – it’s not. Orpheus fails. We heroicise” – here she breaks off to apologise that jet lag has led to her making up words – “we heroicise Orpheus not because he succeeds but because he tries, and that endeavour alone is worthwhile. How to live, and not merely survive, is to believe things could change.”
Anaïs Mitchell on her musical Hadestown: 'I worked on it so long I was afraid I'd never make another record'

T4T love is holy whether its sexual or romantic or platonic or monogamous or polyamorous or gay or lesbian or straight or any combination of any of those things or even something more deeply personal and undefineable
