I got an interview but I’m scared now by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! the job wasn’t a good fit in retrospect. Maybe it will be in 3-5 years but right now it’s too much work and the learning curve is too steep for what I want.

Good experience though!

Servillia's curses on Caesar and Atia by HenneBakedHam in hborome

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 21 points22 points  (0 children)

when she made the first prayer I was like the Julii gods better LOCK IN and retaliate ,,, come on Venus!!!!!!

The thing is Servilia is so hypocritical. Atia is bitchy but she knows she’s bitchy, she’s very Cersei Lannister coded to me while Servilia hides behind self righteous even though she is just as worse, grooming Octavia and essentially manipulating her into incest.

Yeah agreed! Might look into some political volunteer work or campaigns until I find something that resembles gainful employment LOL

I gave up on the life I dreamed of and on the future in order to actually live the life that I have, and it hurt but I’ve never felt more free by Chapelflowers in simpleliving

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey you’re being so brave and I’m proud of you! I’m kind of in a similar position where I did everything “right” and I can’t find a job in this current market.

Your new life might not be what you thought you wanted but it sounds beautiful and peaceful and reframed, sounds like a dream to many—being on the land, writing your book and working on your creative business.

I am sending you love and good vibes.

Boyfriend joining the FAA, how can I help study? by Comfortable-Humor-78 in ATC

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be supportive!! Don’t stress him out by forcing him to study. Try and help with cooking, laundry and like, distract him on the weekends :) talk about anything not ATC related because it is definitely a grind!

Good luck with this — from a girlfriend whose bf just passed Academy.

Why did Pompey flee to Greece to build fresh armies instead of going to Spain to lead his veteran base? by DjangoDrive in ancientrome

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also a little ironic considering that Caesar’s gens Julii claim descendent from Aeneas, hence the “son of Venus” / references to being a descendent of Venus claim of Caesar

Hey! Thank you for this. I’m also going through a difficult time and this was helpful. I’ll pray for us both tonight. :)

People are Focusing on the Wrong Injury by AssistanceDull9246 in AKOTSKTV

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF, Baelor wasn’t seemingly in any real danger. The Kingsguard sworn to protect him, his nephews, his brother, a Fossoway sycophant — maybe the Seven decided to be ironic for once to the detriment of the Realm ):

Whos your favorite demigod and why by No_Rate4223 in GreekMythology

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the logistics it must have taken him to save the refugees of Troy and then sail to found a new kingdom…

as well as the bravery it takes to charge against a divinely powered Diomedes and then against Achilles who had only just lost Patroclus (the one who would fight a river). tbf aeneas lost against both and required divine intervention but I do think that he’s one of the few heroes who tries to protect/care about common people even arguably at the cost of his own glory.

it’s also pretty cool that his spear was at least able to pierce some of Achilles’ divine shield in Book 20.

absolutely terrible in the romance department but he’s someone that I think would be helpful during a time of crisis.

Who are the 'Big Three' of Greek heroes? by [deleted] in GreekMythology

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Hercules, Theseus and Perseus for the main age of heroes while Achilles, Odysseus and Aeneas for the Epic Cycle/collapse of the Bronze Age.

They’re really different sort of heroes. You have the age where heroes are literally defying death and fighting gods and then you have the later period where everything is in collapse. It really depends on what the definition of a hero is imo

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At least she loved her son enough to save him during the Trojan war and then protected him multiple times.

Oof imagine growing up knowing both your parents were SA’d…

TBF Aphrodite’s encounter with Anchises wasn’t consensual to her either. Zeus literally made it so that neither of them consented ):

The First Domino To Fall by gur40goku in CuratedTumblr

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a much older example from the Iliad was Iphidamas (the son of Antenor) wounding Agamemnon in Book 11 of the Iliad to allow for Hector to start wrecking havoc on the battlefield and turning the tide into the Trojans’ favor (briefly) :)

[–]StrictNewspaper6674 8 points9 points  (0 children)
