Artemisia

shoutout to my nature loving, spiritual, esoteric girlies who have obsessions with media like botw, princess mononoke, avatar, and lotr because they cater very specifically to our view of an Ideal World

Something very darkly academic about writing first thing in the morning, a la Donna Tartt, curled up in bed with my laptop, a French press perching precariously on my grandma's wooden nightstand, where I have to reach over a stack of books taller than my mug (currently, its Robert Fagles' translation of The Iliad, Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar, and The Goldfinch) to delicately transport my mug of coffee to me without damaging my lovely books. to be messy is to have greater things to concern oneself with, Howl Pendragon is exemplary in this.

What do you mean I have to pick a major ????? What do you mean I can’t study philosophy and classics and English lit and creative writing and environmental science and biology and botany and anthropology and history and every single language ever and medieval and early modern studies???? What do you mean I must specialize in something? What do you mean I must write a single senior thesis paper?? Why can I not learn about everything and anything that captivates me?? Why can’t I have ten million degrees in every subject area that interests me?

No babe you look wonderful your black great coat makes you look exactly like a cross between Jack the Ripper and a student prince
