Having endured a traumatic rape and humiliating, torturous trial by the Italian patriarchy, Artemisia Gentileschi expressed her scorn in her artwork, which gained unprecedented popularity.
She used her platform to challenge traditional representations of women who were so often relegated to passive roles during her era. The raw emotion transmitted by her paintings, reveal a personal life story and strength influenced by degrading events she experienced in her formative years.

mythology meme: ares
❝ But Athena, eyes bright, taking Ares in hand, called the violent god away with: “Ares, Ares, destroyer of men, reeking blood, stormer of ramparts, why not let these mortals fight it out for themselves? Let Zeus give glory to either side he chooses. We’ll stay clear and escape the Father’s rage.” ❞ ― Homer, The Iliad

So many of Percabeth’s scenes feel so much like foreshadowing for a realization from Percy that he’s in an abusive relationship that it’s honestly really insane to me that it wasn’t intentional at all.
“[Rachel] was so much easier to be around … I didn’t have to watch what I said, or rack my brain trying to figure out what she was thinking.”
“She knew I’d been hanging out with Rachel, and I felt guilty. Then I felt angry that I felt guilty. I was allowed to have friends outside camp, right?”
“Annabeth didn’t mind making Percy a little uneasy. You had to keep your boyfriend on his toes.”
“For the record, I have my own healthy fear of Annabeth.”
This is just a couple that I could quickly find direct quotes of but there’s so many more.
If Rick was as good of a writer as his stans pretend he is, then he’d realize there’s only one logical conclusion for Percabeth’s relationship. A break up because of Annabeth’s toxic and abusive— yes, abusive— behavior.
If the scenes where Annabeth is toxic, controlling, hateful and abusive were treated as what they were, it could’ve been so amazing. A kid’s story showing how abusers aren’t always men? Showing how things often romanticized in media are actually unhealthy and abusive?
A story that goes ‘Hey, these behaviors are unacceptable!’ A story that shows kids a very common example of an abusive relationship and tells them ‘You deserve better than this.’ Kids need that. They don’t need yet another story where toxicity and abuse are romanticized and portrayed as the peak of romance, where it’s portrayed as the relationship end-goal to work for.

I need a book series of Jace Grace pre-HoO. I need to hear what the Romans were doing during the Titan War!

you ever see something on booktok that genuinely horrifies you and makes you wonder how some people managed to get published or is it just me?

Ah, me in my adolescent nativity.
I really loved the Infernal Devices series and was ecstatic for the Last Hours.
Then I read the first book and was like what the fuck!
Like who is the villain?! Is it Tatiana? Is it Tessa’s father? It is Lilith?
I’m so confused.
I believe that Cassandra Clare wanted to write this series and announced it. But then got bored of the project and didn’t want to finish it. But since she announced she has to finish. But she rushed threw it all together and published it.
And it makes no sense!
Shadowhunters Books
I have to wait till 20 fucking 18 for the Last Hours books to come out!! 
Aggggg!

The death for Chain of Thorns, I don’t find all the tragic. Literally rolled my eyes!
Will Cassandra Clare ever kill off a main/actually important character?
I can’t think of one actually tragic death in the books, other than Livvy.

Would love a book about Finnick and Haymitch’s games!
I love suzanne collins so much but I could kill for more content
Books from different perspectives or even a book with short stories/scenes from different perspectives
A show where each season is a different cast and is a new hunger games
More lore/world building
I say this as someone who's dived headfirst into so many YA dystopian novels because collins made the blueprint.

Get yourself a man who'll look at you when you're covered in blood and not giving a single fuck with heart eyes, who won't snitch on you when you sneak out and instead will quietly cheer you on, who will gossip with his brother about your relatives that you don't like, who will kick everyone's ass just to make it to your side, who will literally carry you away from the bullshit, who will worship the ground you walk on, who will keep your secrets, who will - you know what, just get yourself a Harwin Strong. We all deserve a Harwin Strong.

Come on now. The sky doesn´t lie. This is literally the third big, powerful and breathtakingly beautiful sign heaven has given us since both Philip and Elizabeth departed.
So let the haters talk all they want. The great divine powers of the Universe know more than all of them.
