[ID: 8 quotes and 2 pieces of art. The quotes read as follows, 1: “‘You’re all I’ve got now,’ he added, ‘Let’s be off. I’ve come to you. We’re cursed together, so let’s take the road together!’ / His eyes were glittering. ‘Like a man insane!’ Sonya thought, in her turn.” 2: “Orestes- Our cause is lost. / Pylades- Then I’m lost too. Friends share such things.” 3: “Why do you wave me off? You fear to pollute me? I don’t care about that. I’ll share your bad luck, I shared your good luck once.” 4: “‘I mean, look: there you go crying and putting your arms round me again - well, why are you doing that? Because I couldn’t hold out on my own and went running off to someone else in order to unburden myself: ‘You suffer too, and then I’ll feel better!’ And you can love a villain like that?’ / ‘But you are suffering, aren’t you?’ Sonya cried.” 5: “Orestes- O my poor man! My troubles are really your troubles, it seems. / Pylades- But I’m no Menelaos. I can bear this.” 6: “Orestes- Oh girl. How I pity the dark life you live. / Elektra- No one else has ever pitied me, you know. / Orestes- No one has ever been part of you grief.” 7: “Theseus- Why does he hide his head in his robe? / Amphitryon- Shame before you eyes. Shame before your kinship. Shame for the blood of his sons. / Theseus- But if I came to share his grief? Uncover him.” 8: “‘You’re a strange one, Sonya,’ he said. ‘You out your arms round me and kiss me after I’ve told you a thing like that. You don’t know what you’re about.’ / ‘There’s no one, no one in the world more unhappy than you are now,’ she exclaimed in a kind of frenzy, oblivious.” The pieces of art are as follows, 1: A painting of two vague, human figures, done in cool colors. They are embracing. 2: 3 human figures in a misty, expressive scene. They are closeby each other, perhaps walking together. End ID.]

When frankenstein's creature said accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? And when Judas said why didn't you make me good enough so that you could've loved me? And when wych elm said why did you do this to me? I was your baby. You made me. But then sophokles said, i am the shape you made me, filth teaches filth.

hello! i saw that your barty's knuckle tattoos spell anti n gone. i have to ask, are you referring to the daughter of oedipus, antigone or does it have some other meaning? also! if you are, may i ask why?

yeah i meant antigone! i see barty in her very much, at the very least as the patron saint of doomed characters. especially ones doomed by familial cycles… “we begin in the dark / and birth is the death of us” and all that.

considering crouch sr as the head of magical law enforcement & barty’s trial, i love the passage where antigone rails about the inadequacy of manmade justice and the chorus responds with “raw as her father isn’t she?”

"KILL GRANDPA" written frantically over and over. because it reminded me of iroh and azula so i wanted to redraw it. but i couldnt fawking find it. if i ever do though trust i will draw it

“Angel lives” AU, but she does not fucking overcome her dad’s glorious (genocidal) genes. She takes one step as a free man and immediately subscribes to some extremist ideology. Tbh. I give her max 30 minutes of roaming Pandora before she starts saying shit like, “Damn I think I gotta save this nation. How will I go about doing that? Don’t even worry about it. My heroic elevation of the wretched bandits vs my dad’s brutish colonization of the planet. I am nothing like him btw"

[ID: 7 images of quotes. 1: “My mother is where it begins. She and I are at war. Our relationship is hatred. And I live in this house.” 2: “Home is the first grave.” 3: “Strange. I don’t think of you as a mother at all. You are some sort of punishment cage locked around my life.” 4: “The thing about a mother’s hate is that it’s not different from a mother’s love.” 5: “Grief is killing me.” / “She is a dread goddess. But curable.” / “And fits of madness. Mother madness. Mother blood.” 6: “Two mothers exist in my memory—the one I preserved as a child, and the one I remember as an adult. They bleed and burn together like film strips melting in the sun. I loved my mother. I hate my mother. It’s impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.” 7: “Mother she is called. Mother she is not.” End ID.]
