Me: *Finds coins on the ground*

*Finds coins in the laundry*

*Finds coins in my hair* ?????

Hermes: Feel grateful, faithful devotee! What other God will pay *you* for your worship?!

Is there a special reason why you give the animals in your art those strange blank eyes? It looks awesome I’m just curious

Mostly it’s so anything that decides to haunt the paintings can see out of them. Just leaving room for those ghost-eyes!

“O Aphrodite Androphonos, who commands the hearts of men, plucks those dripping pomegranates sweetly smiling, bloody lipped like the silken petals of the fleshy rose, juice like jewels, blushed pearls, that golden ichor stained metallic staining soft skin- O seductive goddess, violent in passion, hear me. O Aphrodite Ourania, birthed of the heavens and the oceans, oldest of the gods, indulgent in the dark syrup of jealousy yet ineffable, risen beyond the sights of the shallow waters of myth, divinity weighted in every sighted caress upon that figure, of light, of darkness, of life itself- O lovely goddess, flawless in form, hear me. O Aphrodite Melaenis, subtle creature of the night, haunting dreams in shadow, cloaked, black silk and bright eyes, who steals my breath and my light only to reassure me in my darkness, empty, that I am not alone, tearful, that I needn’t cry, doubting, that she will sit here, remain, with me- O gentle goddess, ever eternal, hear me.”
