had a dream i posted a poll to this blog that was like 'DECIDE MY FUTURE' and the options were 'banishment' 'beheading' 'sent to sea' 'become medieval reenactor' 'titanic' and i was out front trying to desperately rally for being sent to sea when everyone kept voting beheading
I've been seeing that quote go around and while making this I think I managed to track it back to "An Oresteia" by Anne Carson
[Image description taken from alt: Image 1: Black and white comic with simple digital drawings.
Panel 1: A person with a square head and a person with a triangle head sit next to each other, talking.
Triangle: I'll take care of you
Square: it's rotten work.
Panel 2: Close-up of the triangle head person looking towards the other. They have dot eyes.
Panel 3: The person with the square head with a stoic face but looking up slightly with attention lines to indicate them listening.
Triangle: Hmmmm… maybe sometimes.
Panel 4: The person with the square head tussling good-naturedly with the person with the triangle head. They are both smiling with open mouths and closed eyes.
Square: Hey! You're supposed to say, "not for me, not if it's you!"
Image 2: Panel 1: The person with the triangle head laughing and prying their friend's hand off their head.
Triangle: hey, listen!
Panel 2: The person with the triangle head smiling and talking.
Triangle: You shovel your horse's poop, right? Even if sometimes it's raining and you're grumpy and tired
Panel 3: Silhouette of the person with the square head patting a horse in the rain, holding a shovel with their other hand.
Triangle: You still love your horse.
Image 3: Panel 1: The person with a square head looking down in thought.
Panel 2: The person with a square head looking up at the person with the triangle head and saying, "oh" as the person with the triangle head smiles back.
