Some say it's a force of cavalry, others of foot,
others of ships, but I say that the most beautiful thing
upon the black earth is whatever it is you desire.
It's easy enough to make this plain to all:
for she who was far more beautiful than any woman of mortal race,
Helen, abandoned her husband - the best of men -
and went sailing off to Troy; she remembered neither her child
nor her much-loved parents, but Aphrodite(?)
led her astray . . .
[This] has made me think of Anactoria, who isn't here.
Her step, which stirs desire, and the bright sparkle of her face,
are dearer sights to me than the chariots of Lydia,
and armed men fighting on foot.
Sappho, Fragment 16.

Or they used to belong to Rion and Jord and she kept them because she’s “terribly sentimental.”
some of you might think that the random children's toys in Nine Fingers Keene's high security vault are some things sentimental and deeply personal to her. Some of you might think that they're there to fuck with whoever might dare to break into the Guildmaster's personal vault. actually its where she keeps the holiday presents for Jaheria's kids because we all know Jaheria is gonna forget to buy them herself
Can any of y’all tumblrinas identify this bird? It is very loud and sounds slightly like a car alarm. Location: Eastern Virginia.
It’s driving me insane.
A hug from Karlach would cure my depression.
what’s a friend call if you’re not saying in increasingly desperate tones “i want to do unspeakable things to that old woman and the game won’t even let me kiss her”
