“I’ll take my leave of you, Kassandra.”
It would’ve been a lie to say that those words didn’t cause her shoulders to drop.
Kassandra had gotten used to Brasidas’ presence during their days in Arkadia that she’d almost forgot he wouldn’t be accompanying her to Boeotia, returning to Sparta along with her mother instead. She watched as he did a small bow as a parting gesture, like the gentleman he ever was, and tried not to let her disappointment show.
But then Brasidas glanced up at her—those soft, gentle honey eyes she would never have expected to find in a battle-hardened Spartan man before—sending her a certain look. And just like that, she understood the unspoken words behind them, and found herself returning his smile with one of her own.
I’ll be waiting for you back at home.
Because Brasidas bowing to Kassandra before they part ways in Arkadia always makes me soft.
Would you say maladaptive daydreaming about interacting with the Gods would be disrespectful?
No. As far as I’m aware, maladaptive daydreaming is not something you want or control.
A fun video about what some other languages have evolved to do. And English did not.
thinkin about my (openly gay) lit professor today saying, “one of my favorite historical anecdotes is the time that Oscar Wilde was in America, at the same time that Walt Whitman was active and writing poems about sticking his tongue down other men’s shirts, and Wilde went to Whitman’s house exactly one time and spent several hours there, and ever since all these historians have been like ‘what could they have been doing???? it’s such a shame we’ll never know…’ and I just…. we know. the only question now is who was the top.”
The Theoi are meant to be worshipped. And that means by anyone. If you feel so inclined to worship a deity, do it! Worshipping the gods isn’t like an exclusive club, they were worshipped historically by a vast array of people as just a part of life. So give them some offerings and some prayers and just go from there. We were meant to worship them, so don’t feel insecure about wanting to! The gods are already part of your life whether you know it or not, so just reach out!
Blood. As I shed one last red tear for my fallen sister, I realize the entire world now revolves around this singular word.
