Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus

They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her

I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.

Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. 

Odysseus: Regret it why?

Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.

Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in. 

*A couple of months later* 

Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit. 

Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure. 

Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family. 

Cassandra: Penelope, I’ve had another vision.

Penelope, sighs: Go tell your father.

imagine if you teleported to a big multiversal hub of every version of you from every parallel universe and like 99.99% were just minor variations of some weird beetle alien and it turned out being a human made you one of the zany gimmick versions

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point

don't think i ever posted this kim anywhere? i might have on instagram but i can't recall. this is based on his main portrait of course :D

I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.

noticing trends in your own ocs personalities can make you stare at your keyboard like. okay motherfucker take it to the therapist office not the toyhouse profile.

Im not Christian nor religious whatsoever but I will admit that the story of jesus, from a purely narrative perspective, goes fucking hard and if it were a fantasy novel my atheist ass would've eaten that shit up in junior high

When the Bible says it it sucks because it not only implies that others must accept this as the truth, but those who don't are ontologically evil.

When some midgrade fantasy series says that some woman was the pure-of-heart maiden to carry the ultimate chosen one who would usher in an era of forgiveness and compassion towards our fellow man, by ending an era of cruelty and evil, but in order to do that he had to take on the burdens of that cruelty and pay the ultimate sacrifice for those who wanted him dead, even though he deserved it least of all? Immaculate. You're telling me one of his closest allies, a man he trusted implicitly, was the one who betrayed him? No notes. He was made to carry his own torture and death device through the streets for others to gawk at and laugh at the same guy who was trying to save them from themselves? He still forgave them for it as he slowly died of exposure? He was fucking resurrected through the power of love? Would've drawn him as a warrior cat on my math homework.
