A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. They can also be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.

The merman is the male equivalent of the mermaid, generally assumed to co-exist with their female counterparts.

i. spring

I was always taught Spring was a soft season.

The pastels, the flowers, girls with ribbons in their hair.

But what about the plants that push through hard, frozen ground

And trees that wake up after Hell freezes over?

There is nothing soft about giving birth and raising young

Hoping they’ll see the sun the next day.

So take your pastels, Spring, wear them like war paint.

Take your flowery thorns, and remember ribbons can be used to choke. | p.l

telephone wires orange with lamp light are beeping out a message just to me from the breeze--what does it have to say to me that it can't rest easy with the palms or the seas? doesn't it know my morse code is rusty for everything except for S.O.S and really not everything is the cry for help that I make it out to be.

requested by @astveria

Eurybia would be mother to three sons, Astraeus (god of stars and planets), Pallas (god of battle), and Perses (god of destruction). Thus Eurybia was grandmother of the Anemoi (Winds) and the Astra Planeta (Planets), via Astraeus; Bia (Power), Cratus (Strength), Nike (Victory) and Zelos (Rivalry), by Pallas; and Hecate (Witchcraft), by Perses.  Again, these grandchildren of Eurybia, could also be associated with elements of the mastery of the seas, particularly in the case of the winds, for movements, and the planets, for navigation.

Okay i loooved your new chapbook. I was just wondering do you have any books, poetry books, or chapbooks that you'd recommend that have mythology incorporated in them?

Thank you so much lovely anon. It’s always nice to hear that your work was loved and appreciated. I’m going to use this as an opportunity to actually promote my first chapbook Astrophilia which featured poems of several myths surrounding the constellations. I do also know a few chapbooks/books from other writers on tumblr that have had mythology heavily incorporated into them. 

@ibuzoo (who is an amazing artist) has had several works that have heavy mythology influences/incorporation into them. 

@illuminosity has a poetry chapbook based on a variety of characters from greek mythology. 

@astveria has a poetry chapbook with poems inspired by greek mythology as well. 

@dawnisgone has a poetry chapbook that focuses on Artemis, Aphrodite, and Athena

If anyone else knows of anyone I’ve missed don’t hesitate to add to this. I’m sure it’s not a comprehensive list.

It’s with great honour and gratitude to reach one thousand followers for my main/booklr/aesthetic blog. I’ve had this blog for almost a year, having that I accidentally deleted my old blog of 4 years. In the beginning, I was devastated that all my old personal blog that I’ve spent practically my whole high school life, was deleted and never retrievable but I with that, I took a deep breath, let go of that past, and started anew with this blog. A blog that I shared a specific passion in books, mythology and  other aesthetics with. This blog changed everything. With it, I met a lot of new and amazing people with the same passion as me. I’ve found more books to read, shows to watch, inspirations for art and above all, friends to connect with. And with all that, I say thank you to the following whom I admire and give praise.

To Michelle aka @perxephne Without you, none of this would have happened. You’re the first book friend I’ve met before this blog! I credit you to helping me get into reading more, being with me through happy and hard times, and for becoming my first best internet buddy who I actually met! You’re such a kind, beautiful, sophisticated young soul. The kind you read in a Donna Tartt book. Thank you for sticking with me all this time and helping me blossom this blog to what it is.

To Diana aka @kazzriel I am so thankful that our paths crossed and I got to know you and connect with our love of A Court of Mist and Fury along with other books like AEITA and SOC. I first reached out to you cuz we had the same name lol and being fangirling best friends makes this blog worth while a lot of the time. I want to thank you once again and a million times more for the package of books you sent me! It’s just really cool to think we’re so far apart from each other yet we’re this close. I’m so ready to fangirl about ACOWAR with you!!!!

To my GF squad aka @dirtyhandsnet You girls changed this blog for me indefinitely. I never knew I could connect with such amazing friends and create a kind of sisterhood (or girlfriend hood?) with you girls. We connect with each other on such a high level that I don’t think most networks have. I’m so glad that I have such a supportive, caring group like you. Thank you and NMNF.

To Allie aka @alohomra You’re such a refreshing ray of sunshine when I met you in person! I think we could have talked for hours upon hours more than what we had back then. You’re a small piece of inspiration as to why I’m going into Digital Media Design here in MB. You’re so nice and bubbly and really cool! Thank you for the being there for me!

To Jem aka @lovesclub Thanks mom (we’ve been mutuals for the longest time and you helped me get on my feet as a booker) You’re way cooler than me.

To Simi aka @ninazcneik I think you were one of the first 10ish people to follow me and definitely the first mutual I’ve had. You always stick out to me. I always have admired your blog and it gives a smile to see you ask for a blograte and my notes (I’ll definitely pick up The Diviners just for you, don’t worry!). It makes me proud to be close to a blog that makes beautiful edits and is so #aesthetic. We’ve silently been stuck together since the beginning so I want to credit you in the growth of this blog too!

Even though she’s inactive at the moment I want to thank Jolly aka @rhyesand I’m so happy we started talking to each other! We’ve got more than a month’s worth of Snapchat streak and let’s never stop! You’re so cute and cool and smart and you helped me go broke with all the book buying but without it, I wouldn’t have gotten ACOWAR at 50% off?? Like wow! Thank you for being awesome!

To @mythologicalnet , vixensnet , and mermaidntw I want to thank these Networks for accepting me! It’s great honour to be part of your networks too!

For the rest, I’d love to thank the following people for their blogs that help me build this one.

when they say “the world is your oyster,” do they mean

i can pull it out, screaming,

from its shell

or use it to mass produce a milky white pearl

that will sell for hundreds of dollars one day?

do they mean i can exploit it,

dig it from its watery safe haven,

put it up for auction,

people’s faces pressed against the glass, saying

“this one, this one will do”?

can i collect a whole galaxy’s worth of people’s oysters

people who just left them there in the dark depths

of the ocean in space?

can i cook them all up or eat them on the half shell,

my lips stained with the tears of their inhabitants?

i think i’d like to make a pretty penny

off these oysters,

if i can

just to taste

the salt of emotion again

Oysters $20 a pound

Oysters! Get your oysters here!

what are your favorite blogs that are purely ( or mostly ) myths and legends?

I know @mythologicalnet, @hynpos, and @fyeahmyths are completely myth. I think @zeuxs is also mostly (if not entirely) myth. Ummm. @astveria is. @fyeahhindumythology, @kissedbymorpheus.  I’m winging this off the top of my head, but I have a bunch of other myth blogs in my “blog recs” tag so you can check that out!
