“Cassandra’s life story tells of repeated marginalization in every respect: sexual, social, cultural and linguistic. Even in the extant ancient texts that tell her story she is generally found on the periphery of the narrative, rather than at its centre. Her rambling narratives, wandering as they do backwards and forwards through time and space, are the product a prophet who is always displaced, no matter where she is. Yet even as Cassandra is repeatedly victimized and marginalized, she boldly resists every act of oppression she faces. Her speech, in particular, both heightened and hobbled in its reach, is the weapon with which she asserts her authority.”

— Emily Pillinger, Cassandra and the Poetics of Prophecy in Greek and Latin Literature

I love when ancient poets talk about how doomed & hubristic seafaring is. like yess lets surpass our natural limitations and travel to unknown places. let's test the boundaries between life and death with our human ambition. let's shipwreck ourselves and bring nothing but grief and tragedy to human history with our overstep. this is so sexy

signs someone is high-maintenance

they're a little bossy

they make everything about them

they're a mysterious plant you bought on a whim

they get one taste of your blood and immediately require more, more, more. you give them all that you have, but it's no use. you must kill for them. you feed them corpses, hoping it will stop. it doesn't. "feed me, seymour!" they say. everyday. it's never-ending. the only thing to do is to put yourself out of your own self-inflicted misery. feed yourself to the plant. everything will be fine if you only give up your body for this man-eating plant. all it needs is blood. you are virtually made of blood. sacrifice yourself. it's for the plant. all for the plant, this plant who has irreparably destroyed your life. so do it. get in its mouth. this is all your doing, anyway. it's the only way to end this. die for this alien plant.

they complain a lot

I love house md. it’s gay, its homophobic. it’s ableist, it has some of the best disability representation I’ve seen. medical malpractice and felonies are committed pretty much every episode, some of these aren’t even related to the case. for as bonkers as everything gets it never stops being a medical drama. it a fucking sherlock adaptation
