— Isaiah Henkel (via perfectquote)

Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and passion. Her main powers catered towards love and desire which allowed her to easily seduce any person of her choosing. She was the subject and model for the famous sculpture 'Venus de Milo'. Aphrodite was directly responsible for the Trojan war. She sided with the Trojans in the Trojan War because Paris and her son, the hero Aeneas, were Trojans. She also persuaded the god of war, Ares, to support Troy during the war. In book III of Homer's Iliad, it is told that Aphrodite eventually saves Paris when Menelaus is about to kill him.

it seems my obsession when i was younger has dissipated from my memory.

What Dark Academia actually is: Young people who were told they were smart when they were little, tied their entire self worth to that, and are now trying to motivate themselves to actually do well in school, having the fourth mental breakdown this week while trying to finish 6 overdue assignments and writing a poem/story at the same time to help themselves cope as they keep getting distracted by all the books they want to read and the language/instrument they want to learn while wearing turtlenecks and tweed for the aesthetic and who are on their third cup of tea/coffee of the day.
