I can't stop thinking about Patroclus and Chiron. I just can't

Thinking about Patroclous following Achilles to the training in the mountains, wondering if he's gonna be welcome. Thinking about Chiron being so confused bc he's supposed to train the prince, but Achilles refuses to go without the other boy so Chiron just have to accept It.

Thinking about Patroclous learning to heal from Chiron, listening to his stories around the campfire with shining eyes. Thinking about young Patroclous helping the centaur in any way he can, always wanting to know more, but still being so kind. He's almost as strong in combat as Achilles, and the two love spending every second together. But it's still Chiron that Patroclus seeks comfort, knowledge, and peace every day. Thinking of Chiron slowly seeing Patroclus as his own son, taking pride in him not only for his feats in combat, but also for the heart of gold that made him so human.

And then I start thinking about the day they left. About Patroclus having to say goodbye to his father figure, about Chiron giving his boys up to a war he knows they won't return from. Wondering how Patroclus would call himself Chironides, not prince of Opus or lieutenant of Achilles, but the son of Chiron. Did Chiron spend nights around the campfire, wondering how they were doing? If any of them would make it back? Did he find himself praying that Patroclus was safe?

Did his heart break into a million pieces upon learning of his death? Of the incessant mourning of Achilles, the boy did he once see so bright?

I really can't stop thinking about their dynamics please send help

First of friends, dearest to my heart, my prince, my lord, my dear Patroclus

I've been thinking about Reyna lately. Specifically, about her romantic interests. Like, how she was supposedly in love with Jason before the swap, but did nothing when he disappeared, and then developped a crush on Percy in like three days. I know i'm not the only one thinking it's a bit weird and out of character for her, and i had a thought on that.

Headcanon alert: Maybe becoming Praetor isn't just about leading the legion. Why are there always two praetors, a boy and a girl? What if New Rome expects their praetors to get together, after their service? You gotta understand, yes there are many citizens in New Rome, but the thing is, there are very few actual demigods, those people are almost all legacies, several generations after an actual demigod, and almost none of them have any real power anymore. Maybe New Rome needs to insure they keep having powerful warriors to fufill their leadership positions. What better way to insure that than artificially putting two of their most powerful warriors together?

It's not necessarily obvious, more like an unwritten rule, but when two praetors are chosen, they know it comes with expectations. Praetors are good at meeting expectations, after all. And New Rome's senators are there to remind them of those expectations. To make things easier, when picking their next two praetors, sometimes, the Senate chooses two teens who are already a couple, if both are powerful enough. Sometimes, they may pass over a potential praetor if they explicitly refuse to be a part of this kind of engagement, or if their parents want to protect them from that. And sometimes, the Senate picks two powerful orphans, one who spent his entire life following the rules and trying to meet expectations, and one who just lost her family and would do anything to belong to a new one - bonus points if one is an extremely rare son of Jupiter, they'll definitly want to insure that this specific genetic will be passed on to the next generation.

So. I don't think Reyna was ever in love with either Jason or Percy (at least, to me, it really didnt' feel like it when reading her pov chapters). I think maybe she was just expected to be, so of course she tried to be. Reyna has always been a rule-follower, after all, she always does what is expected of her, she understands the hierarchy's needs. And maybe she longs for a family of her own, too, and Jason is a really good guy, it would be a really good match, so if that's what the legion expects of her, why not go for it.

Edit: more under the cut

Also, it would kinda explain Reyna's reactions, i think? Even though she's not in love with Jason, she still likes him, they're friends, and they have both unexplicitly agreed to this match when they accepted the role of praetors. So when Venus tells her that Jason will never end up with her, Reyna just... doesn't get it? Why wouldn't they end up together, that's part of the deal, right? Why would Jason change his mind? Reyna probably already knows he's not in love with her like she's not in love with him, but that's never been a problem for her, and it wasn't gonna be a problem for him either when he took the praetor badge, so what changed? Does he actually dislikes her that much?

So yeah, she's a bit hurt by that. She thought they had an agreement (unspoken, prehaps, but still, for her it was quite clear).

But then Jason vanishes. No one really knows what to do, they don't even know what happened, did he leave? was he kidnapped? is he dead? Of course Reyna is worried, he was her friend, but she has an entire camp to run, all by herself now. She also thinks, that's what Venus meant after all, doesn't matter if he's dead or if he left willingly, he'll never be a part of her family, the family she's been longing for. Reyna probably thinks she's cursed to be alone now, the forever-alone single praetor, what a depressing thought. But then comes Percy.

Percy is powerful. He's another very rare demigod. He's brave, strong-willed, a natural leader - all important qualities for a potential praetor. So when he succeeds his quest, brings back the golden eagle and saves Camp Jupiter, of course he is chosen to replace Jason. Reyna thinks, is this her second chance? Percy is also handsome, funny and kind, he would be just as good match as Jason.

But when Percy agrees to become praetor, he has absolutly no idea what expectations comes with it - it's not like anyone ever takes time to explain, everybody just usually knows about it, it's tradition and what not. So when he tells Reyna he already has a girlfriend, of course she's disappointed, her hopes for family and a sense of belonging are shattered, again.

My point is, what Reyna had for Jason and Percy, it was never about love. It was mostly about rationalizing New Rome's expectations, and a little about wanting to belong, to be a part of a family of her own.

hey gang how do we feel about solangelo

(lou ellen and cecil designs by @suremaybeiguess)

[dysany]

You know, looking at a Cap identity reveal from the perspective of the hero community is so sad. Like, imagine that you’ve known this guy for however many years. Grown with him through the heat of battle. Fought alongside him and trusted him to have your back.

He’s always willing to help with any problem you’ve got. Members of the JL have trusted him with secrets and problems that they can’t solve and he just…has the most simple solutions that it’s laughable. He doesn’t judge, never has. He’s a bright light in a pessimistic room.

He doesn’t judge you for your mistakes(unless they’ve hurt others). He’s so empathetic it’s hard to imagine him being angry.

He’s like a godsend(pun intended) for heroes with sidekicks. Which is why he had a brief stint with the JSA. Everyone leaves their kiddos with him and they all just…listen to him. He’s goofy, but not stupid. He takes their problems as seriously as he does their mentors’.

No one knows who he is despite him having no facial coverings. He has no civilian identity. There’s no trace of a lover or an adoptive parent.

The magic-users are tight-lipped when it comes to him, treating him with the utmost respect. It’s rlly just them giving back for all the crap they’ve put him through as their champion. Everyone in the magic community knows that if the hero community finds out they’ve been led/putting their problems on a kid, they’re all being shunned.

Cap is invited to various heroes’ civilian homesteads for holidays. He rarely takes them up on the offer. He’s got his own home to get back to, his own friends and family waiting for him. Supposedly, at least. He doesn’t tell them much. It hurts, but they try not to show it. He doesn’t HAVE to say anything.

Then they find out he has kids, or siblings? He hasn’t specified. A girl and a boy. They do less hero work than he does, and they have basically the same powers as him.

Their relationship is different from others in the hero community. Usually with sidekicks there’s a heirarchy. A way they talk to each other. In the end, the sidekick usually listens to their mentor(not without putting their own spin on the plan, ofc). But with the marvel family, their relationship is something that teen heroes become jealous of. Cap treats Mary Marvel and Jr. like he would another hero. He doesn’t follow them to make sure they’re safe, he doesn’t order them around. He listens to what they have to say. There’s no need for either of them to sneak around. Cap just trusts their intuition and thoughts like a REAL teammate!

When other teen heroes interact with Mary and Jr., they’ve got a bunch of questions. Surely these two aren’t as tight-lipped as their leader?

Nope, they’re just as secretive. A little less so, but still.

So, rounding this all up, with how much of a pillar cap is in the hero community, quickly getting all the love and praise.

There’s always this wall, though. Almost every other hero has someone they can talk to about civilian problems. Personal problems. Cap has none of that, people quickly notice. He doesn’t say anything about his home life, his parents, his work.

Does he not trust them? Is that it?

So, you can imagine the immense shock, despair, and horror that implodes the hero community when they find out that Captain Marvel is…barely eighteen. Could be a magic mishap, could be a desperate detransformation, could be just him turning eighteen and thinking “fuck it, no reason to hide it now”.

Everyone is…taken aback. Everyone is confused, horrified, and ready for whatever kind of joke this is to be over. But it’s not. It’s not a joke. This is real. The hero community has unknowingly been talking to, almost harboring, and taking care of, a child.

Unknowingly. Thats the kicker. Billy Batson is freshly eighteen, practically a shoe-in for his boss’s position at Whiz radio when he retires, a hit with Fawcett street kids as a former one himself, and very well known in the magic community. Because he is known. He’s their champion. The magic community has knowingly employed a child to take care of them.

The hero community has been getting close to and confiding in and being cared by someone who should be getting care himself. And to top it all off, he’s explained that his role within the magical community is akin to…its protector? It’s legal ambassador?

Billy is, of course, scared shitless. He’s so ready to be told he’s getting kicked off the team. And with how some of these guys are looking et him, he might be. But those faces quickly soften when he looks at them.

He’s got his buddies, Ollie, Hal, Barry, Neal, acting like scared parents and friends who feel left out.

“Couldn’t you have at least told us, bud?” Hal asks with a wet laugh in his throat.

“I get it,” says Barry. “You felt like you had no one. But you’re…you’re one of my best friends. You know that? Do you know that? You know that, right?”

Diana’s got tears streaming down her cheeks. She’s a warrior. She’s a person. She’s a sister. Shes a daughter. She’s emotional and loving. She feels like crap. She has a brother. A small, gangly-shaped brother who looks like he wants to crawl into a hole and die. And he couldn’t trust her to keep this secret. Couldn’t trust that she wouldn’t think less of him. That had to be it, right?

The kids are restless. They’re older now, with more experience. Their mentors and older coworkers watched them. But who watched this boy? Who taught him? Who mentored him? Who held him as he bled and burned and promised him he would be okay?

Did he think they’d think less of him? In his baggy jacket and hunched shoulders?

He feels eyes boring into the back of his head with how many heroes are staring at him. The anger is hidden, placated more by the confusion, the horror, the realization, and the numbness of “holy shit, Captain marvel is a child.”

Was, he wanted to remind them. He’s an adult now. But that’s probably not going to help.

So it’s like this, when you’re looking from the perspective of the heroes and sidekicks and friends and (maybe) family that have worked with the captain for so many years. They’ve been through things. Good and bad. They had each other.

Captain Marvel is their friend, their brother, their teacher, their partner in crime. He wears his heart on his sleeve, yet he’s so good at keeping parts of himself from them.

And now they know why. It’s hard to put into words, the disjoint in the way they feel. Gone is the Captain, but he’s still there. There’s a teenage boy, talking like he knows them, and they suppose he does. Because it’s him they’ve been talking to.

But this boy has secrets on top of secrets. Dead parents, dead bodies, no clear home, and yet, a clear destiny.

These heroes, these beings of power and justice, they know they love this boy. They’re grateful for him, for his heart. But they also feel like everything they know is a lie. Like he let himself be pushed around all his youth and never said a word, never asked for comfort. Never trusted them to provide that comfort. And it tears them up inside.

Billy Batson is Captain Marvel, and Captain Marvel is their friend. But Captain Marvel is also a child. A hurt, lonely child. And, regardless of the outcome, no one will ever look at him the same again.

recently, i read the iliad for the first time and i made a "no one told me the iliad was a comedy??" list while reading it, so here's the list in its entirety!!!

- diomedes in all of book five.

- athena telling diomedes he shouldn't fight any of the gods that may show up on the battlefield, except for aphrodite, because what's she gonna do, fight back?

- athena then lecturing diomedes for NOT fighting ares, and diomedes proceeding to tell her "dude, you literally told me not to fight him, what do you want from me?"

- achilles and his pure hatred for agamemnon. someone give this man a shirt that says "number one agamemnon hater".

- achilles and agamemnon arguing the entire time they're in the vicinity of each other. every time they talked, it was like two kids coming up with every insult under the sun without outwardly cursing each other out.

- agamemnon essentially calling achilles a whiny bitch. kind of iconic.

- a popular favorite but: odysseus going around and beating the men who wanted to leave with a fancy ceremonial stick. it just never gets old.

- odysseus being that one guy who never shuts up about his kid while beating the living shit out of thersites. he very proudly calls himself the "father of telemachus" while verbally and physically abusing this man.

- odysseus once again referring to himself as the "loving father of telemachus" when agamemnon is trying to piss him off so he'll join the battle. i'm pretty sure this is a fairly common thing for odysseus to do, and you got to love him for it.

- another popular favorite: agamemnon mourning his very-much-so-still-alive younger brother after menelaus gets shot by an arrow in the thigh. menelaus quickly realizes he's fine and asks his brother to stop lamenting his "death" because if he keeps it up, he's gonna spook the rest of the men and that's just not what they need right now.

- and then agamemnon immediately being like "oh, word? okay, but you need a doctor- SOMEONE GET THE DOCTOR!"

- athena grabbing achilles' hair during the argument between achilles and agamemnon in book one when achilles is deadass about to just kill agamemnon because he's mad as hell. she then proceeds to tell achilles to call agamemnon names instead and books it.

- helen being the bad bitch she is whenever she's on the page, despite her circumstances. not only does she flat out tell paris she wishes he had been killed, but she basically tells aphrodite to bed paris herself, which is ballsy as fuck and i have nothing but respect for her.

- speaking of paris: hector absolutely TEARING into paris after he flees from fighting menelaus one-on-one. he really just says that paris is only good for looking pretty and he wishes paris had never been born which, honestly, good for him.

- priam asking helen to point out the various greek leaders and immediately calling agamemnon handsome. idk why but it made me chuckle just a bit.

- priam also comparing odysseus to a ram, which is such a wonderful visual and i think about it a lot.

- antenor, one of priam's advisors, recognizing odysseus when helen points him out and immediately going: "oh, that motherfucker, i remember him. he looks like an idiot, but man, does he know how to use his words to win over a crowd."

- nestor essentially saying "back in my day-" every time he opens his damn mouth. i love him and he never shuts up once he gets going.

- diomedes telling glaucus he's "not one to fight the heavenly gods" immediately after fighting not one, but TWO of said heavenly gods.

- athena and hera wanting to throw hands with zeus in book 8.

- athena and hera ALSO being petty as all hell and actively ignoring zeus after he told them to stand down. deserved, if you ask me.

- diomedes calling odysseus a coward when asking for odysseus to help him save nestor.

- "stubborn odysseus" then ignores him, and runs back to the ships. honestly, don't know what diomedes was expecting, calling the guy a bunch of names.

- hector and greater ajax throwing ROCKS at each other in the middle of battle.

- diomedes scolding agamemnon for suggesting that the greeks retreat. the guy had it coming, and diomedes read him like a book and it was beautiful.

- odysseus not calling achilles by name after he and greater ajax came back from an attempt to persuade achilles to forgive agamemnon. he really just told agamemnon and the rest of the greek lords: "this guy is an asshole, y'all, he's still all worked up about it. ain't no way we getting him off his ass to fight."

- the entirety of book 10 feels like a fever dream and i'm kind of obsessed, regardless of what historians/classicists have to say about it. like wdym diomedes and odysseus go out on a little night time stroll while the greek camp is under siege, kill a bunch of men, and come back with some fancy ass horses and weapons??

- nestor kicking poor diomedes awake when diomedes was sleeping on the ground in front of his tent. like, damn old man, you could at least try to see if he'd wake up if you called his name or some shit.

- this is also funny as fuck when you consider that literally a few hours ago, diomedes busted his ass to save nestor's life. this is why we don't help people, kids.

- odysseus telling diomedes that there was no need for diomedes to praise him because "everyone knows i'm hot shit dude, let's just go and get this over with."

- diomedes calling paris a "sleazy flirt" after paris shot him in the foot with an arrow. he calls him a LOT of names, but he basically just calls paris a cowardly, weak-ass slut, which is spot on if i'm being totally honest.

- odysseus immediately trying to mentally hype himself up after diomedes left him alone on the battlefield. he really just stood there like "oh fuck, i can't run because i'm not a spineless coward but i'm all alone out here what the fuck am i gonna do!!!??" gotta feel a little bad for the guy.

- diomedes' and hector's beef. they HATE each other and it honestly cracks me up. diomedes is constantly ragging on hector for being babied by apollo and hector basically keeps saying diomedes is a rabid animal that's out of control.

- hector telling his horses they're lucky because andromache gives them the good wine first, before he gets any. he really said "my wife loves me but i guess she loves you guys more, how the FUCK did you get so lucky???"

- idomeneus and meriones running into each other in the greek camp while everyone else is fighting. fully imagined them just standing there and pointing at each other like: "yo, dude, what are you doing here?"

- meriones, instead of going to his own tent, decides to take a spear from idomeneus and basically tells idomeneus "dude, my tent is so far, please don't make me go all the way out there and just let me borrow one of yours."

- idomeneus being totally chill with it, so long as they hurry the fuck up and no one sees them away from the battlefield because then people will think they're cowardly losers.

- patroclus.

- no further notes on this one, just patroclus. what a guy.

- agamemnon trying to convince the rest of the greeks to retreat in the middle of battle. AGAIN.

- and agamemnon keeps on doing this, throughout several books at this point, and it's actually kind of impressive. i guess he really just wants to leave troy because he's sick and tired of NOT winning all the time.

- odysseus having absolutely none of this and immediately putting agamemnon on blast. odysseus literally curses him and calls agamemnon pathetic and dishonorable. preach it, king.

- and agamemnon actually listens to odysseus and immediately goes "shit, you right, my bad."

- posideon and zeus beefing in book 15.

- specifically posideon basically saying that if zeus doesn't let the greeks win, he's never going to forgive zeus. peak sibling behavior.

- meriones and aeneas shit-talking each other in the middle of a very intense, very important battle.

- this is immediately followed by patroclus telling meriones to "stop yapping and throw hands".

- in retrospect, patroclus probably regrets saying that, given that throwing hands is what got his ass killed.

- patroclus throwing a massive rock at some trojan, effectively killing the poor guy, then proceeding to mock the way the trojan fell as he died. absolutely FOUL behavior and it made me giggle just a little bit.

- i should probably mention that this "poor guy" was cebriones, hector's current charioteer and half-brother. hector's proceeding crash out was completely understandable, when you think about it.

- odysseus reminding achilles of the importance of breakfast. eat your breakfast people!!!

- odysseus also telling achilles to "shut the hell up because i'm older and therefore wiser and i know what i'm talking about so zip it and let me speak".

- aeneas telling achilles to stop yapping on the battlefield when it was actually HIM who was in the middle of a good old homeric "this is my dad and this was his dad and his dad did this" speech.

- achilles damn near about to crash out when apollo kept protecting hector. this man tried to kill hector FOUR TIMES and apollo just yanked hector out of the way each time. achilles was like "oh, so apollo favors you? yeah, well, if any of the gods like me, next time i see you, i'm gonna FUCK YOU UP!!!"

- achilles beefing with a river.

- like dude, stop KILLING people in the water, you're clogging the river and that's just not cool. respect the environment, asshole.

- book 21 is really just "angry man yells at river before being swept away by the waters of divine fury".

- athena decking ares and aphrodite. she was really sick and tired of them at this point.

- posideon essentially calling apollo a little shit when apollo kept siding with the trojans.

- apollo sending achilles on a wild goose chase while disguised as a trojan. it's giving tom and jerry, i can't even lie.

- achilles beefing with apollo. just in general.

- this can also be extended to: apollo beefing with achilles. and we all know how that ends!!!

- hector being bamboozled by his own idea of trying to beg for mercy and understanding from achilles. he really was like "why the fuck am i trying to problem solve this, the guy wants me dead. ain't no way he's gonna listen to anything i say".

- a popular favorite that i think deserves a quick mention: hector and achilles running around troy three fucking times. tom and jerry part two????? except this is an alternate universe where tom catches jerry and it's not pretty.

- nestor giving antilochus advice on how to win the chariot race even though antilochus knows what he's doing.

- this is extra funny when antilochus turns around and cheats to get ahead of menelaus. an asshole move, but so incredibly real and i can't even say i blame him.

- apollo knocking diomedes' whip out of his hand during the race. out of spite.

- it's actually because diomedes had taken aeneas' horses in book 5 and diomedes was using them in the race, but still. petty and spiteful and i love it.

- athena immediately rushing to grab the whip to return it to diomedes. athena is playing favorites again and she's not even trying to hide it.

- lesser ajax and idomeneus bickering during the chariot race. SPECIFICALLY idomeneus telling lesser ajax "young man, you're real good at arguing and bitching, but man, where the fuck are your brains at?"

- the ONE TIME achilles is mentioned smiling is when antilochus is throwing a fit about not receiving his due prize and i think that's beautiful.

- achilles really saw his friend complaining and said "that's my bro how can i NOT give him exactly what he wants?"

- menelaus tearing into antilochus and shaming him for cheating during the race in front of everyone.

- mans really told antilochus to swear on posideon that he didn't cheat so of course antilochus is like "shit shit i can't make that oath because i did cheat and i am NOT getting on the shit list of any god".

- so antilochus is like "okay menelaus, my bad old man, i'm just so young and spry that i can't help myself sometimes".

- and then he just gives menelaus the mare that was the second place prize to avoid making an untrue oath while STILL managing to insist he won fair and square.

- smart guy.

- menelaus also being like "okay, i forgive you because you are usually pretty well behaved so let's just chalk this up to like, temporary insanity or something".

- AND THEN menelaus gives the mare BACK to antilochus.

- menelaus is a softie at heart and antilochus knew it and absolutely took advantage of it and WON. bro played the long game and it was so worth it. this whole sequence was so entertaining to me, can you tell?

- nestor, the absolute icon that he is, once again going off on one of his rants. everyone say "i heart nestor".

- the footrace between lesser ajax, odysseus, and antilochus.

- namely odysseus praying to athena to help him win the race, which she does, of course. she gives odysseus a little boost and she TRIPS lesser ajax, which causes him to fall face first into a pile of cow shit.

- it gets in his mouth and nose y'all, it's nasty as fuck.

- i also think it's funny that odysseus is the oldest of the three of them, and even without athena's help at the end he was right behind lesser ajax the entire time.

- of course i have to mention lesser ajax whining about the fact that athena dotes on odysseus like a mother.

- and odysseus not saying anything to argue because he knew lesser ajax wasn't really wrong about that.

- antilochus also saying that the gods have a habit of favoring old men.

- old man odysseus for the win!!!!!

- it also cracks me up at how obvious it is that achilles favors antilochus y'all, it's HILARIOUS.

- antilochus goes after the race and starts talking about how "odysseus is an old man, but boy, he's almost as fast as achilles!" and achilles is over here like "yeah, he totally is, you're so right. here, have some more gold for being my number one hype man".

Barty, who loves every second with Evan, even though the world is dying around him. Barty who is unhealthily obsessed with Evan, and it's okay because it bleeds beautifully and it's mutual .

Barty having Evan's name tattooed across his spine, over and over. Just Evan Evan Evan one under the other until the end

I have been reading a lot of headcanons of the justice league, my favorites are when batman reveals his identity but only to....Green arrow

It's so fun because imagine if for any reason Batman is forced to reveal his identity and everyone thinks he will choose Superman or/and Wonderwoman (because you know THE trinity, the dream team) BUT NO, he chooses green arrow

at this point the justice league already put aside whatever they were doing and start questioning batman, that is to say without hate towards Ollie but he is not the most secretive, nor the most competent, I mean HE IS NOT EVEN THE CLOSEST TO BATMAN, so yes, even Oliver is wondering why him?

and then without anything else Batman does or says some kind of code, at that moment everyone thinks that he must have already lost his mind when they hear the BIGGEST gasp from none other than Green Arrow, now he is running to hug Batman jumping and holding on like a koala while screaming

"WHY YOU NEVER SAID IT BEFORE SILLY"

"so you understand?"

"OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND IT'S OUR SUPER SECRET SUPER BEST FRIENDS CODE"

That's when J'onn leaves the room because he's not going to deal with the nonsense that these supposed heroes are thinking, the earth is doomed with these fools

Flash is screaming terrified that someone replaced Batman and brainwashed Ollie

Aquaman and Captain Marvel are pretending to know whatever is going on because they totally didn't sleep for half of the meeting

Black Canary's eyes are so wide and she looks like she had an epiphany from something Ollie said

Green Lantern still doesn't get over the fact that Batman is revealing his identity? (of course in such a weird way that only one of them understands, fuck him) but at the end of the day revealing his identity?

Wonder Woman and Superman are having a crisis and they are GREEN with envy, because not only did Batman reveal his identity to Green Arrow of all people, but he is also HUGGING him (also, they are the Bat's best friends, thank you very much)

Then Oliver, oblivious to everything, finishes by saying

"Wait, this means I kissed THE KNIGHT OF GOTHAM, THE BATMAN?, wow B you are killing me"

everyone explodes

totally based on this amazing post
