Do you ever just get the urge to buy renaissance era dresses? Because like would I ever wear it, is it practical in the least? No. But I still want to frolic around in my flowy dress

All my writings can be found on ao3 with the acceptations of some wip :)

Current favs:

The Rebel and The Performer (an echo of the past) - Hunger Games Au where Peeta can see Lucy Gray’s ghost, and Katniss can see Sejanus’s

people help the people - Twisters, Addy lives au except I steal her leg, and her family, but don’t worry, I give her a found family and a gf in the process so it’s fine.

come hell or high water, baby - Kate has a very bad day, and her not-bf helps her out (+ a not-love confession that’s totally a love confession) (communication is not their strong suit)

My Aimsey and Guqqie art that I started a while ago, forgot about and finished! Fitting for pride month 🏳️‍🌈 (also don’t look too closely at the eyes, I suck at drawing them)

Exert from The Strangers' Picnic

Let us be kindhearted! Take me to the sea at dusk.

Let me hear what the sea tells you when it returns to itself at peace.

I won't change. I will embrace a wave and say:

Take me to the sea again.

This is what the fearful do:

when a burning star torments them, they go to the sea.

1

The warmth inside you,

Burning with growing anger,

The heat will fight back.

2

Burnt marks on your arms,

It sets ablaze, set ablaze,

Then there is nothing.

3

Death so passionate,

Another lost to the dust,

Come on, say hello.

“Maybe that’s why you demonised them, turned them into monsters, because you think monsters are easier to understand than women who say no to you.” ― Nikita Gill, Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters

“And when they speak of Troy, they speak of Helen who fled with Paris for love, and this inspires verse. Not Briseis, who lost all, all she ever loved and was used as barter in a war that wasn’t hers. Not Cassandra, who tried to warn them but was called liar because of a Gods curse. Not Hecuba, who was forced to give all her children to this cruel beast she knew would never be satisfied. Not Andromache, who lost her beloved husband Hector to a battle he should not have had to fight, and her baby to the ruthlessness of the victors and their spite. I suppose as a woman your value in war is simply casualty if your face isn’t synonymous with devastating beauty, that powerful men wish to possess and claim so much, that they will launch a thousand ships in their own misplaced honour, yet blame it on your name.”

— Nikita Gill, Woman of Troy

“I have loved gods and I have hated monsters the way I was taught to, but no one ever told me that more often than not, they were the same.”

— Megara to Heracles after he kills their children, Nikita Gill
