Apropos of nothing, certainly not video games that just came out or anything of the sort, I’ve been re-reading Stephen Fry’s Greek myths anthologies, and I encountered what is, somehow, the old-queeniest thing I’ve read in a while*:

I am very fond of [Hera] and, while I am sure I would stammer, blush and swallow awkwardly in her presence, she finds in me a devoted admirer. She gave the gods gravity, heft and the immeasurable gift of what the Romans called auctoritis. If that makes her seem a spoilsport, well, sometimes sport needs to be spoiled and the children called in from the playground.

–Stephen Fry, Mythos

God keep you, Mr. Fry.

Also completely unrelated: I still can’t get Supergiant to confirm his voice was supposed to be this:

(Every time he opens his mouth I hear “Tell me, Melinoë…”)

But seriously, I love his nasaly, queeny voice.
