Hey everyone! I'm really excited to announce that I will be participating in a Greek Mythology art zine called Sing, O Muse!

We're illustrating a selection of the Homeric Hymns, of which I will be illustrating Hymn V, to Aphrodite. There are a ton of amazing artists on board and it's going to be a great collection of myth-related artwork. The other artists who have tumblr accounts are:

@alibonbonn @coloricioso @danpoharyskyiillustration @davidluongart @flaroh @greekmythcomix @kleioscanvas @mikeybooch @sarafangirlart @tylermileslockett @wolfythewitch

I'll probably post some updates on my contribution here when I'm allowed, but if you're on twitter or instagram I encourage you to follow the zine account singomusezine for more frequent updates.

Any zine related content from me and the other artists on here participating will be tagged using #SingOMuseZine.

It's the time of the week when somebody follows me and I feel like I need to do more than just reblog so get ready for some light post spam before I disappear for 3 weeks again!

My love language is ruining my sleep schedule just to stay up and talk to you, the friend I talk to multiple times a day and see 3-5 days a week.

It’s time we accept that Percy Jackson is an unreliable narrator. He’s not dumb. He’s just insecure. He’s not clueless about his and Annabeth’s feelings. He’s just in denial. He’s not clueless about Rachel’s feelings. He just doesn’t want to do anything about them. His mother isn’t perfect. He just loves and respects her more than anyone in the world. That boy contradicts his own inner monologue all the time. Do not trust him!!

Watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the 5th day in a row. One of the best movies of all time.

I bought the version that’s in color and saw it for the first time earlier this week. I grew up on the black and white version, which is such a classic, but it’s so amazing to see the film in color.

things i wish i had known when i escaped my family household and couldn't ask my parents for help

invest in a good mattress early on. there are many other ends you can save on - sleep is not one of them. this is key to how much energy you'll have throughout the day

you don't need a bedframe but you do need a slatted bed base (even if it's just pallets)

opening a bank account is easy

there's youtube tutorials for everything. how to install your washing machine, how to use tools, fixing stuff around the place. channels like dad, how do i? are a godsend

change energy provider as soon as your old deal runs out. you'll get better offers elsewhere and avoid price gouging

assemble a basic first aid kid at home: painkillers, probiotics, alcohol wipes, bandages, tweezers, antihistamine tablets - anything you might need in a pinch

and an emergency toolkit: flashlight, extra batteries, a utility knife, an adjustable wrench, multi-tool, duct tape

set your fridge to the lowest temperature it can go. the energy consumption is minimal in difference and it'll give you +4/7 days on most foods

off-brand products are almost always the same in quality and taste, if not better, for half the price

coupons will save you a lot of money in the long run

there's no reason to be shy around employees at the bank/laundromat/store; most people will be happy to help

vegetarian diets are generally cheap if you make food from scratch

breakfast is as important as they say

keep track of your budget in a notebook or excel file - e.g. rent, phone and internet bills, food, leisure so you'll have an overlook on your spending over the months

don't gamble

piracy is okay

stealing from big stores and chains is also ethically okay

keep medical bills and pharmacy receipts for tax returns

also, file your tax returns early

take up a hobby that isn't in front of a screen. pottery, music, going for a run every now and then, stuff that'll keep you busy and sane

and most importantly... you're allowed to get the stuff you want. treat yourself to the occasional mundane thing. a good scented candle. a bath bomb. that body lotion that makes you feel like royalty. the good coffee beans.

you're free and you deserve to be happy.

I literally don’t get people who complain that other people are just projecting onto characters like “you’re just using that character to explore and actualise yourself” well done james that’s what stories have been for for centuries what the fuck is your point

I love you people going into "useless" fields I love you classics majors I love you cultural studies majors I love you comparative literature majors I love you film studies majors I love you near eastern religions majors I love you Greek, Latin, and Hebrew majors I love you ethnic studies I love you people going into any and all small field that isn't considered lucrative in our rotting capitalist society please never stop keeping the sacred flame of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and understanding humanity and not merely for the sake of money alive
