Hey, I’m Aster, but you can also call me Aegis or Oleander. My pronouns are He/They for the most part, but you’re welcome to get creative.
Feel free to send me asks, writing prompts or just ramble at me! I love interacting with fellow fans
I am studying archeology and it’s also my special interest, so check out #archeology on my blog for pictures of cool artefacts!

This Etruscan mirror of Athena and Ajax is amazing because it’s a uniquely Etruscan conception of the myth where Athena literally urges Ajax to commit suicide rather than simply driving him mad. Today I got to see it in person at the Boston Museum Of Fine Art!
here’s the catalogue photo of it too because i can’t get over this motif!
people make too much out of the telegony. there. i said it

We actually keep this picture hanging up in our costume shop. If you have ever operated a sewing machine, this picture will speak to you on a spiritual level.

I legitimately cannot stop thinking about this book. I finished it too fast and I’ve been reading it again just because.
going insane about haymitch the rebellion’s sacrificial lamb. they saw a kid honor the dead and make a mockery of snow in a public setting and knew he’d earned himself a death sentence. so they recruit him. ask him to do something that will only increase the target on his back. maybe it’s heartless but it’s for the greater good. they can achieve their aims of rebellion and let him make his death mean something in the process. it’s the best they can make of an unbearable situation
but then it doesn’t work. the arena doesn’t break and haymitch doesn’t die and the world and the games go on. and the personal consequences are dire.
fast forward twenty four years and now haymitch is the adult and he’s got the same kind of teenager on his hands and the same heartless choices in his lap. how much do you think it killed him to feed her to the same machine, when he knows intimately exactly how high the cost of failure can be?

Hello hi twelve years old me would be so happy to know I’m twenty five and back into The Hunger Games. SOTR devoured me whole, I blacked out after finishing it and just woke up from it bon appetit.
I love you like allfire
