"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious
Enthralled by the creature of the lake

"This story is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way."
being a cashier is so stressful i’ll be like “hi! how are you :^)” and the customer will hand me a screwdriver and say “my granddaughter had a miscarriage this morning” and I’m like …………………..i’m so sorry that’s $2.33
Deadass I once told a customer “Have a nice day!” and he responded that he couldn’t because it was the anniversary of his wife’s murder
when I worked at Michaels a woman was returning a bunch of flowers (nothing unusual) and I brightly asked her the standard “any particular reason for the return?” (i.e. damaged, etc.) and she stopped, looked me in the eye, started choking back tears and said “the wedding is off.”
stories where the past is a wound that refuses to heal
ok stories where the past is an itch you keep absentmindedly scratching and wonder why the burning is getting worse
all i’m saying is: the past is a bodily sensation
sometimes "i am not normal about them" means I could write a dissertation about their relationship and sometimes it means i have nothing to add but am pondering their existence very much

Sharing a recent commission that holds a very special place in my heart 🥹🫶
My commissions are still open!!
[ID: A digital illustration of Barbie winking and smiling to the side, wearing a sleeveless layered dress with each layer being a different color of the ace flag: Black, grey, white, purple. A hat with fluffy feathers and those colors sits on Barbie’s head. Barbie raises an arm to present a heart with the ace flag. Both hands have white glove, and Barbie wears a white scarf. An artist signature in the corner reads “Cheesy Crypto” end ID]
What do you mean? Barbie has always been my entire personality!
