Actually we should say that Cassandra screams outside of language. The scream is to gash the fabric of normal life, to rend it into strange tatters. Then it is open to prophecy. Then Cassandra lives in her own future.

the sphinxes were so fun i had to draw them again!! i'm floating the names Summer and Chaka... i don't think they're very good at this whole riddle thing. Summer doesn't give a flying fuck who does or doesn't pass by them, and Chaka has stage fright :(

I saw this and immediately thought of Dionysus. The girl on the left is Ariadne and the girl on the right is Apollo or Hermes minding their own gd business.

What’s a word you mispronounced for so long because you’d only seen it written and never heard it said

So their is so sO SO much wrong with the Lightning thief movie But I think my two favorite things that don't make sense are
1) apparently Percy's name is just 'Percy' because he needed help to name a third demigod and he had to look at the Greek to get the name 'Perseus'
2) for some reason their are Thirteen thrones on Olympus. It's goes (right to left) Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hera (a decision to put her here of all places), Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Zeus (at the head), Athena, Ares, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, EMPTY THRONE! Why 13? For Hestia? But she doesn't have a throne she gave it up. For Hades? He also doesn't have one on Olympus!

Gaia promising Hebe as a wife to Porphyrion (you know, the giant who tried to rape her mom) is not something I'd expect to read but here we are

Am I a daughter of Delta Nu? No.
Soon to be a fiancée?? Definitely not.
Has a man chosen me? Nope.
Can my life begin today? Absolutely! (If I put my mind to it)
Make a happy home? I can sure try!
Not waste hard earned wage? Well, my 0 hours contract job don't put me in very often and I'm literally only on for 2&½ hours next week so :/ I don't like spending big amounts of money, that shit is scary. My dad's bank account is safe :)
Strive not to look my age? I already look like a 12 year old with my hair tied up, I think I'm fine.

Okay I made this to represent a specific event but then I thought about it and realized that more generally soeaking this actually sums the exact dynamic I have with my fourth grade girls.
#like you guys don’t understand this is LITERALLY me and my girls#like. the example this was originally made to represent. I road the bus with [name redacted for privacy reasons] who is the apple of my eye#my incredible little girl who I have known for a year who I just adore.#I was taking the bus with her and she saw there was a security camera and asked about it. and it was like a 30 minute bus ride we had time#and I often will teach her about things I’m interested in even if they’re like. advanced right#so I was like alright have you ever heard of a man named Foucault?#i took the next 15 minutes to explain to her about who Foucault was and his essay about the panopticon and what that meant#described was a panopticon was described why he was talking about it talked about how that applies to us now#about how the police state is increasingly harnessing more and more technology to create an era of surveillance hitherto unknown of#and how this helps enforce the status quo etc.#she listened intently. nodding along thoughtfully. she quietly thought about it longer.#the whole time. GLOWERING. which is her response to everything.#I’m like. it’s interesting right? trying to prompt her to say what she was thinking.#instead of responding she just turns to the security camera at the front of the bus and very carefully puts up her middle finger#and then mouths ‘fuck. you.’#I could not be prouder of her but this is also just how all our conversations go#no matter if it’s about tattoos or Ancient Greek tragedy or Taylor swift.

idk I have this theory that if you're born female with a relatively "normal name" you're going to be the most favored person in the room wherever you go

Going Undercover:
Talia: Alright, you remember your assignments. We infiltrate the school as students, then we try to see what's actually happening.
Jacqui: We'll meet one another during a few subjects depending on our schedules to keep an eye on each other and to share info
Talia: Then we can-
Jess: UUGGGGH! We know! You reminded us like 120000 times now. Can we just get to the part where we pick our undercover names?
Laurel: Ooooh, yes please.
Jacqui: *sigh* Yeah, okay. But we'll go through the mission again later.
Laurel: Mmm, I wanna go with Samantha :)
Talia: That's just your middle name.
Laurel: I know :)
Gigi: Well, Gigi is already a nickname. And I don't really feel like going as Georgia so...Gabrielle sounds nice, so it wont be too much of a change and I'll still be able to use Gigi.
Klarienne: I'll just stick with Klarienne.
Jacqui: Same here. Or maybe Jacquelyn, or Kaley.
Laurel: Troy, Jess, how 'bout you?
Jess: I wanna go with Charlie Johnson, I'm a transfer student from another city after my parents planned to move to because of my dad's work but it turns out we moved because they're actually criminals on the run and-
Talia: We don't need to hear the whole story, Jess. Troy?
Troy: Mmm, well, Donald Troy's already a cover name. what are you gonna go with?
Talia: Birth name, Alexandria Alkane
Troy: Then, I'll just go with my birth name, too (headcanon). Paris.
Jess: Oh, like the city?
Troy: Oh, sure, NOW people think I'm named after a city (-_-)
Raven: Paris was a prince of Troy that fought in the Trojan War. He was the one who got to kill the Great Achilles who was said to be the greatest of the Greeks. It's why ironic why his name is Troy when he was raised by-
Laurel: UUUGH! Raven, leave the history lesson, we already have to deal with it while we're undercover.
Gigi, realizing something: Wait a minute. Isn't Paris the one that Helen ended up with?
Troy, realizing she realized: Well-
Raven: Technically, yes. But Paris died and she married his brother instead and it's a whole rollercoaster.
Klarienne: Doesn't Troy call you Helen sometimes?
Raven: Yeah, he does. What does that have to do with this?
Jacqui: ...Raven, I don't think you heard yourself right. You just said that Helen ended up with Paris
Raven: Yeah. And?
Talia, joining in: Raven, listen to me. Helen. Ended up. With Paris.
Raven: ...*blush*
Talia: Wow, you don't call him Helen because he's beautiful, you call him Helen because your birth name is Paris. Oh, Troy, you witty bastard.
