ancient literature summed up in limerick form
the iliad
achilles’ pride went to his head
when he was insulted he said,
“now fight without me;
you will fail, soon you’ll see-
oh shit, now my boyfriend is dead”
the odyssey
the trojan war came to an end
towards home did odysseus intend
but he pissed off poseidon
and hurt his one-eyed son
and now for his life he must fend
the aeneid
the people of troy lost their home
with aeneas as leader, they roamed
but juno was mad
and the journey went bad
what a burden it was to found rome!
medea
jason abandoned his wife
an act which created much strife
medea, distraught,
said she’d let the man rot,
introducing their kids to a knife
the love poetry of catullus
lesbia was my dear lover
until her affairs i discovered
i condemned our passion
in true roman fashion-
with makeup time under the covers
oedipus the king
oedipus had a life like no other
killed his father and married his mother
he made himself blind
and from kingship resigned
now from freudian theories we suffer
livy’s histories
i wrote many books on the past, see
(though few of them now still outlast me)
some of it’s history
the rest is a mystery
i just put it together- don’t ask me
"That’s when I realized we were nothing more than two average people until the day we found each..."

i just stalked your instagram and your boyfriend is adorable and he writes books with you. literally goals
Ahhh thank you anon this made me smile ^^ He’s not really my boyfriend (the whole ‘he lives in Italy’ thing. but everyone ships us. so yea.). But he is adorable and my favorite. I mean.
We’ve only met twice IRL. Last time was October. We had a book signing together. I could tell you a gazillion and two stories.
We got matching tattoos because that’s how we roll.
we’re cute as heck
Anyway yea I love him and he’s one of the best things in my life. Our book came out in September.
Also this summer when he gets time off I might be going to NEW YORK (where he’s from) and meet his family and do fun things and I’m dying of excitement.
