"It is also clear from these monsters that the loss of a child (or the inability to have one in the first place) was not thought of solely as a personal tragedy for a woman - it was a failure of womanhood. Lamia and Gello may be sympathetic, but they are monstrous nonetheless. Lamia is, fundamentally, a woman who is unable to keep her children alive, and whilst there might be understanding of the pain this causes her, she is nonetheless demonised for it. Gello, meanwhile, is tormented not just because she died young, but because she never married or had children. There is no suggestion that her lost life could have taken a different path - she is not driven to furious murder because, had she lived, she could have composed great poetry, or written works of philosophy, or become an athlete. The failure to marry or have children, or to keep existing children alive, turned Lamia and Gello from beautiful young women into monsters, demons who were entirely outside of civilised society. They had failed at being women, to such an extent that they were women no longer."

thinking about how aiglamene has a shitty bone prosthetic leg. notably, i'm thinking about the "shitty" part and what it implies. because you can't convince me that harrow wasn't capable of giving aiglamene a perfect replacement by the age of like. seven. nor can you convince me that harrow wouldn't offer, even if she disguises it as pragmatism. so that leaves the conclusion that aiglamene refused. and the best explanation for why she would do that is: that leg was made for her by a necromancer she cared about.
aiglamene is an old soldier, capable of teaching the rapier, and claims to have seen duels involving a cavalier primary in her youth. so. yeah basically what i'm saying here is that aiglamene was probably someone's cav. and there's a good chance her necro died in combat and made her that leg shortly before

*carefully picks you up and peeks into your conch snail shell*
Ehm... Sorry to bother, but... Could we, maybe, possibly... see Vasco's wife and her lover pictured by your hand? Sorry again, thank you for listening. Take care.
*delicately lays you back into the water to prevent any stress or dehydration*
Unfortunately I don't have her lover figured out yet, but I think Ludovica looks something like this:

going back to psych season one immediately after finishing the show (or god forbid the movies) is extremely jarring.
who the hell is this toothpick— oh, that's our main character. harrowing! looks like i could throw him like a javelin. lassie's face looks like it's been well-sanded and put through three rounds of industrial buffing. some sinner also removed all the salt from his salt and pepper?!?!?? VICK IS PREGANT??? and then of course jules and gus look the exact same except gus doesn't seem nearly as tired which makes sense bc he hasn't had a gun pointed in his face at all yet at this point.

really gets me pissed when men see my frustration as amusement. thinking abt how i would get genuinely angry about something w my ex (unrelated to him in these cases, like getting cut off in traffic, etc) and he would look at me w this little smile on his face and say something along the lines of “youre so cute when youre mad” shut the fuck up i will rip ur fucking face apart

“is g/t like a horny thing or a fluff thing for you?” buddy my latest OCs are a mage and the living battery for their power who are locked in an unending cycle of killing and resurrecting one another. it’s about the psychological weight of holding someone you utterly loathe in the palm of your hand while also devoting your entire existence to protecting them. “horny or fluff” buddy we are way past that. there is a third secret option and that is “psychologically fucking up my OCs via size dynamics” get on my LEVEL

The real question about Greek mythology is who hates it more?
‘Feminist retelling’ authors looking to make a quick buck, Hades/Persephone shippers or DC Comics?

The Raven Queen came to the god of death before her in his frozen enclave. They danced through words over the years and while at first he may have seen her as a disciple, eventually they became friends, and she thinks she loved him at the end. They worked together to craft the Ritual of Ascension, and now he is at peace, though his ghost may live on in the cold of winters, in the darkness at the corners of the world, and she cares for him still in the way she cares for all beings

Girls listen!
When I say you’re my friend that means:
I want to hear you ramble and rave, to know what special interests you crave. I will sit for hours listening to you tell me about it and I will enjoy it the whole time.
I want you to be weird. You don’t have to mask and pretend to play “normal” or whatever society taught you to be with friends.
I want to know what’s wrong! Don’t bottle it up and be afraid to share what you’re struggling with. I’m not going to think any less of you. Even if I can’t directly help I want to be able to support you however I can.
Friends aren’t just a title I throw around on people I know. It means I care about you. I WANT to be your friend! I am extremely selfish and obsessive with the people I like and want them to know how much they mean to me.
Thank you for being my friend!
