For every modern trans girl who wishes she could return to the days of being a sumerian eunuch temple priestess, there was a sumerian eunuch temple priestess afflicted by an inexplicable desire to play the synthesizer. These were interpreted as prophetic visions

Ive actually made myself kind of sad now contemplating the poor sumerian eunuch temple priestess having to make do with some sort of Flintstonian bone xylophone instead of a proper eurorack or 808

the power of this piece is so intensely raw and honest…. Children absorb EVERYTHING. they notice absolutely everything, but they lack the vehicle of self expression and autonomy to convey their feelings. That’s why the art they make is so important to me

genuine self confidence literally only comes with not caring at all if you’re ugly… like if it’s based around finding yourself beautiful it’s planted on fragile ground

like it feels Good to look in the mirror and say Wow i feel pretty, it’s a nice moment and i’m not condemning it, but it’s a tenuous position. if you position yourself to feel good about being pretty, you’re still vulnerable to Ugly, and pretty is not a sustainable state. no matter how far you extend the concept of beauty, it’s still based in rules established by societal standards that realistically one cannot be perfectly held up to.

actually this post i made a year ago that some random just reblogged is right and im a genius

Aeneid VII.1-106
Slow pan in on the region of Lavinium, as the Trojans reach Italy at last.

and we start book seven with… a random death that will never come up again! then some of the most beautiful poetry in this poem!

thinking about my professor pointing out that right after the end of book six, in which aeneas gets pumped full of propaganda to turn him into a killing machine, we get a representative death of aeneas’s childhood (his childhood nurse). thinking about that and feeling normal

ter conatus ibi collo dare bracchia circum; ter frustra comprensa manus effugit imago, par levibus ventis volucrique simillima somno.ALT

Both Aeneid II 792-795 and VI 700-702. Referring to his wife and his father respectively. Ummmm the past life you had is untouchable to fleeting, that life is a dream you had and hoped to hold on to but your real gods given life hasn’t started yet and you’ll wake up and the dream will fade. lol

feeling VERY normal about vergil choosing to use “caesarum” as his word for sacrificed here. feeling really normal about it

(image description: two screenshots from book seven of the aeneid, one in english [translated by a.s. kline] and one in latin, reading respectively:

when the priest brought
offerings there and found sleep in the silent night, lying
on spread fleeces of sacrificed sheep, he saw there many ghosts

in dubiis responsa petunt; huc dona sacerdos
cum tulit et caesarum ovium sub nocte silenti
pellibus incubuit stratis somnosque petivit,

“sacrificed sheep” and “caesarum ovium” have been underlined in red. end description.)
