I Have No Idea

Hi, I'm laudatenium, um, you might have seen me on ao3. I haven't changed. You can call me Lau, if you want.

statius is trying very hard to make his thebaid tragic(TM) but sometimes the drama(TM) just veers into the comedic. a baby's entire face is eaten by a snake because his nurse just straight up forgot about him. a son of heracles thinks it's a good idea to race with cannibalistic horses and is disqualified when he has to pull them off track when they try to eat another racer. statius bemoans the fact that polynices didn't die in said race and just had to go die at thebes and be left unburied instead of mourned by all his fellow racers. this entire time oedipus is living in the basement of the palace of thebes just. being blind and miserable I guess

It's easy not to become a fascist if you're in their outgroup. It's a lot harder when they tell you that people like you are inherently superior and that you are under threat from degenerate enemies and that you belong with their movement. That's one of the many reasons why refusing to believe that you're better than anyone is an important part of moral hygiene.

i HAVE to stop looking at shelter cats until i'm moved but BUNNY

bunny is still there and apparently hasn't been adopted because she's very skittish and shy but so AM I

i assume they don't put cats on layaway but i might go this weekend to see if i can say hi, at least. and then bring her home on, like, june 5th when i'm all moved and settled if she's still there.

bunny 1.5 years and a few pounds later

Dealing with my fear of rejection by never asking for anything, and my fear of being a burden by never doing anything that involves other people. Foolproof.
