y’know, I know that tumblr gets a lot of shit for being obsessed with a Persephone, how they make her into something that she’s not supposed to be and misinterpret the actual myth etc. etc, but honestly? The fact that the people who are changing Persephone into who she has become to tumblr– the young woman who claims agency over herself and isn’t half so helpless as men would make her out to be, the woman who licks her fingers after every pomegranate seed, the woman who walks into hell with sunlight in her eyes, flowers in her hair, and hard ambition in her heart, –the people who do that are most often teenage girls themselves. It’s an act of reclaiming a piece of what’s practically pop culture and adapting it to the times, just like myths have always meant to be. It’s taking the story of a victimized girl and making it the story of a queen.

“Francis sent me a six-page letter about how bored he felt, and how sick he was, and virtually everything he’d had to eat since I’d seen him last.”

One likes to think there’s something in it, that old platitude amor vincit omnia. But if I’ve learned one thing in my short sad life, it is that that particular platitude is a lie. Love doesn’t conquer everything. And whoever thinks it does is a fool.

komedie brute for the @sixofcrowsnet hunger games for @wyvils

“jesper figured there had to be at least one hundred mister crimsons flooding the bridge and the stave, singing the chant that accompanied his entrance in any of the komedie brute plays, tossing coins into the air. sometimes the coins were real. it was why he was a crowd favorite. people were laughing, whirling each other around, grabbing for coins, chasing after the mister crimsons as the stadwatch tried in vain to keep order. it was glorious.”
