This is driving me crazy but I swear I saw a post referencing the inspiration for the volume 1 cover, and it was a Greek or Roman myth painting?? It kinda looked like this, but the name doesn't match what I remember.

It was a resonance painting that had the same composition as book 1, but i don't think I saved it. Do you know what I'm talking about? And if so, could you give me the title or painter? Thank you so much. I'm going mad

Okay I hadn't actually seen this but I tried to google for a bit and I think I found what you mean?

Here's a quote tweet showing the process for the cover from the exposition

The painting is Faithful unto death by Edward Poynter. 1865

wnba recap 8/23

EXCELLENT night of hoops to cover tn 😮‍💨 i’m so ready y’all

las vegas aces vs minnesota lynx

we got to see this matchup again and i gotta say it feels like 2017 the way the lynx are so dominant rn. the fact that the aces are losing to them not once, but TWICE in a ROW… man. MAN.

a’ja was a little off her game - i rarely see her w out a double and shooting under 50%. problem with a’ja being off her game is it doesn’t feel like the rest of the starting five is stepping up. nobody even broke 15 points y’all like… this the back to back champs??? shitttt

like this is a team that is not taking care of the ball on either end of the floor. every single one of the starters turned the ball over at least 3 times except alysha, their efficiency was fine but come on. it’s the ACES. i’ve seen it way better, and considering this is a team they just LOST to??? obv we’re not even worried about playoff berth here - but damn! that should be an ego hit at the very least!

i just wanna talk about napheesa collier for a second. phee needs to be in more mvp convos. like in my head rn, the mvp ranking goes a’ja, phee, stewie. i don’t think that’s anything crazy, and obv i got AT up there, too.

look at what phee did tonight y’all!!!! i mean this shit is WILD: 27 points, 18 REBOUNDS??? ONE EIGHT?? EIGHTFUCKINGTEEN??? on 73% SHOOTING???? 50% from three y’all and 5 dimes and a couple steals like. that’s an insane stat line bro. it’s fucking NUTS. WHY are we not TALKING ABOUT PHEE??? maybe we are and i’m just not seeing it but… phee, man.

lord look at that husky

atlanta dream vs phoenix mercury

i cannot wait until the atlanta dream aren’t playing anymore bc i actually cannot stand watching them play. i got my stanny loyalties but haley jones is so painfully mediocre rn so i’m really just gonna leave it.

diana lorena taurasi a 360 pass is stupid. it’s STUPID. oh my god that shit is so dee i love it.

los angeles sparks vs washington mystics

hellooooo bueckers bowl!! paige watching this game, biting her fingernails, knowing she’s going to whichever team loses… man i love the w 💀💀💀

battle of the shitty franchises i fucking GUESS like… anyway slim had a gameeee (28 points), kira w a nice double double (14/11), ariel atkins with 15 too (you know i had to get my longhorn in there)

you know what LA’s fuckin problem is??? imma tell you what LA’s fuckin problem is. DOGSHIT efficiency. and y’all are like… yeah, no shit. but like ACTUALLY consider how ridiculous this is: they play a four-forward lineup and not ONE of their bigs breaches 50% fgp except rickea this game. WHAT the FUCK.

especially with THIS lineup?? clock the mismatch!!! you’re gonna have smaller guys on you - there is literally NO REASON they should be out scoring y’all in the paint.

OH MY GOD A1 FUCKIN TANK JOB LIKE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

chicago sky vs connecticut sun

clock how close this was y’all: 82-80 sun win.

then clock that marina mabrey got 24 tn to get the W over her old team.

you can’t even script this shit bro it’s just too good 😭😭😭

man just one more board for AT for the triple: 12/9/11 like she really like that bro.

speaking of stats… how angel reese had 20 BOARDS?? just wiping down that glass tonight HOLY SHIT

yeah this should’ve been an easier win. every day i wonder how the FUCK chicago could’ve given up marina and why the FUCK they did when somebody got their pick anyway… jesus christ y’all

anyway… excited for the rest of the season and the postseason. college football coming up, i won’t yap about it but i’ll be internally insufferable about being in the sec now 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 have a blessed night y’all

Last minute playoff predictions:

Liberty over Dream in 2 (with the caveat that the Liberty *cough* Sandy *cough* are very capable of being dumb and somehow not sweeping)

Lynx over Mercury in 2 (i'm firmly team Lynx but if the Mercury choose to suddenly be something they're not, they better win the whole thing for DT)

Sun over Fever in 3 (i would love love love for this to be a sweep but i fear it just isn't gonna happen but wouldn't it be lovely if it did?)

Aces over Storm in 3 (listen Storm please prove me wrong because now that A'ja has her deserved mvp i can want the worst for the Aces in peace thanks)

THIS IS SUCH A STACKED ROSTER MY GOD

Diana has a GIANT bruise on her face from the Lynx beating her up last Saturday...

She got clocked in the face four days ago and the bruise still looks bad. I remember exactly which play that bruise is from. She drove to the basket and made a layup. And after making the lay, Alanna Smith elbowed her in the face hard and knocked her down. No whistle. No foul was called. Diana had to just get up and stumble back on defense. She was too disoriented to even argue with the refs.

They also tripped both BG and DT in that game. No tripping fouls were called of course. And Reeve was just smiling the whole time while her Lynx were injuring her USA players. They didn't need to do all that to defeat Phoenix on the road. Fucking psychos. Cheryl has the refs in her pocket and she's super annoying about it.

I NEVER want to hear anyone complaining about Diana's physicality ever again. All she does is return the energy this league throws at her. JJ broke Diana's sternum in 2021. Dijonai broke Diana's toe last year. This is just the recent stuff. Diana has more contact injuries than non contact injuries throughout her career. The league targets her and she responds. It started her rookie year and it has never stopped.
