;-; It’s wrong to say “i am a fan” c it’s a horrifying story, but I read it as a young teen and it made lasting impression on me… i have had art of them in my bedroom wall in Brazil since forever

I replied:

Oh, interesting! I do actually like Procne and Philomela (when Philomela is ashamed of looking Procne in the face and Procne is just like, no shame, only VENGEANCE I was 😍), so … :)

actually there’s a bunch of mythology stories that were so fucked up that they “stayed” with me forever sbhndjdfn Medea for sure, and, not nearly as gruesome ofc, but Ariadne being abandoned by Theseus in that island also fucked me up forever

I replied:

Yeahhhh. I’ve been taking pretty exhaustive notes on everything bc I don’t know what I’ll forget, but tbh I am pretty sure I’ll remember all three on my deathbed.
