The Persian SIBYL, also called the Chaldean or Hebrew Sibyl, or by her proper name Sambetha, was born at the Red Sea. Her father was Berossus and her mother was Erymanthe. She wrote 84 books, and prophesied of Christ countless times. The other Sibyls agreed with her, but everyone says she was the first.

Nicanor, who wrote the Deeds of Alexander the Great, recalled her. See Lactantius, The Divine Institutes, book 1, ch. 6; and Augustine, The City of God, book 18, ch. 23. This prophecy is attributed to this Sibyl:

Behold, O beast, you will be trampled, and a lord will be born on the earth, and the womb of a virgin will be the salvation of the nations, and her feet will be for the health of mankind, and the invisible word will be made plain.

This is genuinely apropos of nothing but I am thinking about how annoying I find it when people insinuate that shipping is like, somehow diametrically at odds with being invested in a narrative for its own sake because like……I have rarely ever been interested in a ship that was not itself an expression of the narrative themes and character arcs. Investment in the narrative IS the very reason I care about a ship.

I feel like it makes no sense to pretend like these are entirely separate activities (although I understand for some people they are/can be) when to me MOST of the time, for most of the things I seriously ship, they are inextricable.

Jean Paul Gaultier fall/winter (1994)

a continuation of Gaultier’s 'les tatouages' s/s 94' collection which björk made a surprise appearance on the runway, bewildering references that included men in skirts, hip-hop denim volumes, joan of arc–style armor, tattoo trompe l’oeil tops and yes, even corsets. a very controversial and bold approach to indian and african tribal nods played a significant role in this fierce outing of models.

The Delphic SIBYL, born at Delphi, known by her proper name Themis, is said to have lived before the destruction of Troy. They say that Homer included many of her verses in his work.

There are those, whoever, who sometimes believe that Sibyl was her proper name, which spread to the others, as I touched on above, on the Libyan Sibyl. See above on the Persian and Libyan Sibyls.

This prophecy is attributed to her:

Know him as your Lord, who is truly the son of God. Chrysippus also says that she prophesied this: A Prophet is born of a virgin, without his mother’s [matris] (or “her husband’s” [maris]) coitus.

potentially hilarious aspect of the Maddie-Eddie dynamic would be if Maddie is literally the only person who is completely immune to the Eddie Diaz Most Beautiful Man Who Makes Everyone Obsessed With Him effect.

Buck is like ok MAYBE i'm in love with Eddie, but everyone is at least a LITTLE in love with him so it's not weird. And Maddie is like I don't think that's true?? and Chim is like no actually he's right. And Maddie is just like ??? EDDIE???

He's literally just Some Guy to her. Like he's her brother's best friend, she likes him fine, but like. He's just a guy.
