poemsforpersephone:

what if
when icarus fell
apollo caught him
before he hit the sea,
arms as warm as the sun,
but safer.

what if
when ariadne cast the rope
across a broken branch
aphrodite stepped in
with a reminder that this,
this is not the kind of love
you die for.

what if
when achilles
was ready for war
ares appeared with a smile
and said “you win well when you win,
but what are you unwilling
to lose if you lose?”
and achilles knew the answer.

if you could
retell the tale wouldn’t you want
to tell it kinder? wouldn’t you
want to give them peace, even love,
where you could?

There is categorically no trend on Twitter that will ever ever ever beat this ‘girls do it better’ thing we’ve got going because honestly it’s just meaning we’re getting photos of beautiful girls recreating this look and my lesbian ass is living for it

Seeing as you guys are loving this as much as I am, let me bless your eyes with some more beautiful girls creating this iconic look. Creds of course to all of these wonderful ladies

When Anne has a will, Anne hathaway.

I think we need to add her to the immortal list.

Confirmed. Likely a very modern one, due to her lack of period affectations. She’s just kicking this journey off and has plans for centuries. 

Counterpoint, from @if-i-am-not-for-me, she was married to Shakespeare.  She’s just pretty good at keeping up with things.

Further counterpoint, 

She’s still married to Shakespeare

She’s known Keanu and Taika and Jeff for YEARS, they all get together to drink wine and laugh about technology
and also they’re all really worried about how John Mulaney is handling his immortality

I’ve always had this hc that Harry could be half-Arabic… and then I found this model.

I was shooketh to the ground by how perfect of an instagram au this would be!

I mean, just look at him:

If this isn’t real life Harry James Potter, then who the fuck —

SLDKFJGH

Meanwhile, Draco is (dead) hyperventilating on the floor: “Pansy, we must figure out how this instagum thing works and for the love of Merlin, stop laughing at me! This is no joke. How dare he? Stupid Potter, with his stupid scar and his pictures… ”

Omfg @goldentruth813 !!!

He’s tonimahfud on instagram if anyone wants to go thirst follow him

But yes – if I had to recast Harry, we’re casting Toni

this makes me want to cry

First of all, “…they were surrounded on all sides by echoes and images of themselves, in a world where image and object had not yet torn themselves apart” is one of the most poetic phrasings I’ve ever heard.

Second, here’s the original source, “What the caves are trying to tell us” by Sam Kriss.

Third, the original opens with:  “Every so often, I get the urge to drag someone into a cave, and show them something unspeakable.”

I had another point, but it got lost in the artful prose of this article.

I feel like “every so often, I get the urge to drag someone into a cave and show them something unspeakable” is something that’s okay for a paleolithic cave art expert to say, but like, absolutely no one else
