it is frankly queerphobic of my english teacher to assume I know bacchae well and quiz me on it in front of the class. he's right, whatever genderfuckery dionysus is performing is something I've spent far too much time thinking about, and looking for academic articles on, however sir, i take offence at the assumption. guess it was a high probability as an obnoxious queer and a classicist

homer was real and i fucked him. perhaps homer is made real by the action of me fucking him. discuss.

~Apollo

"homer was a real person" "homer wasnt a real person" "homer was real and he was a woman" enough of this debate. homer IS real and if youre currently reading the iliad or odyssey youre homer now

Apollo and I are in agreement. yet another girlboss. you go disintegrate glauke’s flesh. you watch it drip off her bones like pine resin. misunderstood girlboss using artsncrafts to their full potential.
