“What I wanted to do was to fasten my index finger and thumb at the bolts of your collar bone, push out, spread the web of my hand until it caught against your throat. You asked me if I wanted to strangle you. No, I wanted to fit you, not just in the obvious ways but in so many indentations.”
— Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body (via foxesinbreeches)

I propose a new aesthetic - druidcore/druid academia.
I love dark academia as much as the next person, but it can be quite elitist and male-dominated. I propose the druid academia/druidcore aesthetic - a new aesthetic combining elements of dark and witchy academia with a Celtic and Arthurian mythology twist (as opposed to Roman/Greek mythology). This aesthetic is better for women as Celtic culture was matriarchal and the female figures are more developed and interesting than the love interests you typically find in dark academia. It could also promote the study of Celtic culture and languages, including languages that are under threat like Irish Gaelic.
But that’s enough background. Picture this:
Walking through the rain on your way to class, finding beauty in the way the mist falls across the road. Knowing which phase the moon is in at all times. Lying in forest clearings and on rooftops to gaze at the stars, finding constellations that correspond with Celtic mythology. Annotating The Poems of Ossian, revelling in the joy of reading something so beautiful and yet so controversial. Listening to poetry readings and harp music. Speaking softly to a lover in Gaelic. Continuing the living tradition of oral storytelling, feeling a thrill when you speak certain words that are not to be written. Arguing with Latin students about Boudicca because “she wasn’t a psycho, Julian,” and pointing out the shortcomings of Christianity both in the present and the past. Smashing the patriarchy with the power of art, going to peaceful protests and passionately advocating for social and environmental justice. Having tattoos. Spending time in nature, especially in forests and by the water’s edge. Listening to Hozier 24/7.

Try stuff. Put plants in your room even if you aren’t the best at caring for them. Attempt that dessert recipe even if it turns out ugly. Listen to that music you’ve been meaning to try for a while. The world is full of infinite sources of goodness and the best thing to do it to try and find as many as possible.

What makes Dionysus a trans icon? I need me a learnin
lots of reasons! dionysus in general is a god who frequently hops between boundaries (sanity vs madness, sober vs drunk, alive vs dead) and gender is one of those things he kind of straddles the line on. although earlier art depicts him as bearded and more masculine, later greek and roman art moves towards portraying him as more feminine- long hair, a rounded face, etc. (one of his epithets is Ανδρογυνος, or acting in both a masculine and feminine manner). his constant association with other gods and the multiple stories of his birth show a sort of fluidity of identity as well
one of my favorite sources is a story from apollodorus which says that dionysus was raised as a girl despite being a boy (it was in order to protect him from hera’s wrath but like. whatever)
a final source: im trans and i say so
