If Maomao got pickles on her food after requesting no pickles Jinshi would complain but if Jinshi got pickles on his food Maomao would tell him the service workers are doing their best and he really needs to check his privilege and if he doesn’t eat the pickles she’ll break up with him effective immediately and he better tip well

real adult™ tip from a real adult™ with executive dysfunction

do stuff while waiting for other stuff

like that sounds intuitive and vague but so much of the day is spent in a period of wait and if you struggle to motivate yourself to do things then this is the best time

waiting for your water to boil? bag up your garbage. waiting for your coffee to drip? wipe down your counters. roommate taking up the bathroom? scoop the cat box. waiting for your food to cook in the microwave? do however many dishes you can while it’s in there. 

waiting is the perfect time to do a limited amount of something for yourself where you would be otherwise just standing around doing fuck-all

It took me reading some academic papers to catch onto two things in regards to the moment where Athena makes fun of Aphrodite after she's been injured by Diomedes (very silly when it's obvious in hindsight), first, that it's not just meant as a similar callback to the actual situation of Aphrodite-Paris-Helen in Sparta, but that it IS that (specifically the "Trojans" that she so "terribly loves" is... obviously Paris in this context), and that the word Athena uses in terms of "terribly loves" is the exact same one Aphrodite herself uses when she says she loves Helen very much (and will hate her just as much if she doesn't go back to her and Paris' home).

And then you put that together with Zeus' comment about how much Aphrodite protects Paris, and Helen's whole... rant. I love how much affection Aphrodite has for Paris. <3

thinking about. diomedes telling sthenelus 'yeah im fooling around with odysseus' and then sthenelus goes. 'what. seriously?? seriously. that guy. that old ass ugly guy. when all this (one must imagine a large gesture towards himself) is right here.' and diomedes goes. 'ok but hes aged PHENOMENALLY'

The Iliad in a nutshell: War sucks. Go home.

i like to think thetis was a bit iffy about patroklos but immediately started to love him after seeing him and achilles hang out like 2 days later

[mt-isnothere12]

Odysseus probably sent in Antilochus to undermine the monopoly Patroclus had on Achilles as his boyfriend. Little did he know that Antilochus and Achilles were incompatible (both bottoms), so Achilles wasn't interested in him in that way. They did become besties in the end.

Posting the obligatory mermay art 🐟🐠

+A bunch of doodles of Fishilles and the glorious Patroclus

Do you guys think patroclus knew he was going to die that day? Perhaps his fingers slipped while putting on achilles’ armour or the horses were acting strange. Did he feel a shift in the air as the divine turned their gaze upon him? Did the sun shine brighter in his eyes? Burn hotter on his back? Was there something Off about it all? When he spotted hector through the chaos did he have to swallow down a dread he had never felt before?

As he scaled the walls of troy, did patroclus feel his thread of life running out between the fates hands and gladly accept it? Was he aware that his martyrdom would be a catalyst for something greater, and that he knew it had to be done?

Did patroclus know he was going to die, and proudly welcomed it because he knew it was always going to happen?

thinking about this again
