why is achilles the only demigod who's Like That? like he's my boy but u don't see memnon or aeneas or sarpedon acting like him on the reg. why is he so maladjusted? like specifically? I saw his mother once and was so terrified by the sight of a goddess I flung myself to the ground and hid my face in the dirt til she left but I still don't think that accounts for it idk

I was the one who wrote the achilles/agamemnon 100k slowburn enemies to lovers rpf and put it on the group chat but now patroclus is calling me 'agachilles boy' and laughing about it and asking if I can proofread his mock bardic epic where all his dogs are heroes and killing people, so I fear I've made a mistake. I also can't look achilles in the eye anymore... but honestly I've never seen proof he can read so I might be safe

imagine being the achaeans and your best warrior gets killed by PARIS, after everyone else had awesome deaths at the hands of sarpedon or hector or memnon... like that's literally so embarassing I just know achilles is fucking fuming down in hades rn. I bet the achaeans are gonna put around that paris was guided by apollo, or that paris happened to hit his only weak spot..... anything 2 try and make it less cringe.... lol lol we're popping the biggest bottles tonight. hope helen's there

#oh yeah #I was stuck with temu achilles in the trojan horse for six hours #and by hour two agamemnon had suggested killing and eating him #and odysseus was threatening to 'send him to meet his father' #and it's not even like there's any kleos in killing priam!!! #anti neoptolemus #neoptolemus defenders dni #vent tags

#taking a break from my actual academic essay about the iliad to make this terrible terrible post #I don't think there's any proof everyone hated neoptolemus. BUT.#but if I'd been at troy for 10 years and achilles' fuckass teenage son pulled up with the bloodlust of an xl bully I'd have been. displeased #iliad #the iliad #trojan war #achilles #ajax #odysseus #homer #epic cycle #unreality #tumblr simulator #greek mythology #my post

classics fandom is hilarious as a concept bc sometimes you see a post and go "he would not fucking say that" and it's about marcus cocceius nerva caesar augustus, emperor of rome from 96-98 AD and first of the Five Good Emperors

#tagamemnon #mostly it's posts about the gods and achilles tho #queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

house md is wild because house tells wilson that he’ll sacrifice many things but never himself and then he sacrifices himself for wilson. and then he sacrifices himself for wilson. and then he sacrifices himself for wilson. and then he

#also like. this is the guy who said that 'people dont change' for the majority of his life and then when wilson is dying hes like 'i can cha #nge' its that he doesn't talk about his feelings and he cannot bear to show weakness until it seems that he is losing wilson and then #he will literally say anything to keep him its that he is shown repeatedly to be a vicodin addict and that hes destroyed relationships over #his pain and his need for vicodin but he'll give wilson his own pills and go without to make sure wilson has enough meds its that he is #old and cynical and his beliefs about humanity have been written in stone and his walls are topped with turrets and barbed wire but the gate #s fucking open for wilson time and again and wilson is the exception to the rules time and again its. so fucked up #wilson is quite literally his anchor in humanity wilson is his achilles heel wilson is his entire support system the foundations of gregory #house's life have been built around one james evan wilson from the moment he saw that twink throw a bottle into a mirror. am i making sense #here. do these words mean anything #house #wilson #hilson #house md #hatecrimes md #house is a very very carefully constructed facade and wilson is a fucking sledgehammer.

"Have you no more memories?"

I am made of memories.

"Speak, then."

#qsmp fanart #that quote is from The Song Of Achilles #beautiful book #HUGE spoiler warning #in the last scene of the book patroclus and thetis are sitting together at achilles' grave watching the sunset #patroclus has just finished recounting the entirety of his life with achilles to thetis #and despite how much the two hated each other; and despite how much disdain thetis had for patroclus for being a human #for the first time in her life thetis understands how much those two meant to each other and how much achilles loved patroclus #and so she lets patroclus travel to the next world to be with him; she sends him off so they can be together #“go” she says. “he waits for you.”#that's basically what I'm thinking of here #an AU wherein which Fit and Madagio find themselves in each others' paths again and Madagio sees that Fit's grief hasn't swallowed him whol #Madagio is curios because he has never understood how to deal with grief in a way that isn't revenge #and asks about it #he asks about the rosebushes and the goggles #and after the two sit for days in a far-out reach of the wasteland; fit talking and madagio listening #madagio decides maybe he can spare the time and effort. maybe he can find a way to reunite fit with pac and ramon;#even if it's just for a minute #qsmp #fitmc #fitpac #madagio #qsmp madagio #54625art #holy shit sorry for yappin so much #mcyt #mcytblr

Tim: Stop. Stealing. My. Clothes.

Bernard: but they are just so comfy

Bernard, seeing the Robin outfit laying about: ooo 👀

Tim: Don’t you dare

Bernard: why not? Pleaaaaaase Tim

Tim: You ever read the Iliad? No, you can’t wear it.

#bad things happen when boys wear their boyfriends armor/hero costumes #Tim won’t chance it cause he learns from history’s mistakes #is that the message of the illiad? no #is that the message Tim with take from it? Yep #Bernard won’t win this argument cause Tim would totally go full Achilles in a heartbeat #this is the same kid who cloned Kon 99 times when even his own girlfriend had moved on like normal people dealing with grief #Tim would go batshit (pun intended) it would be a bloodbath cause morals are out the window #tim cannot handle being in a tragedy cause that boy would snap so fast from the grief to the point you question if he’s even a hero anymore #Batman may not kill but grieving Tim wouldn’t even think twice about it #tim drake #bernard dowd #timbern #timber #incorrect batfamily quotes #patroclus #achilles #patrochilles

has anyone gotten the idea that odysseus' storyline in hades 2 is a depiction/exploration of trauma over his SA and how he's blaming himself for things that were out of his control? because that's the impression i'm getting from what i've seen. he talks about "goddesses" as his "greatest weakness" and that "he's not one to say no to them"...

when mel invites him to the bath, he brings up mortals having different standards for intimacy than gods and how it usually has a more romantic/sexual connotation. she then asks if he's uncomfortable and he has a startled reaction and brings up circe and calypso again (but never actually by name)

(this isn't ship/romance bait btw. odysseus knew mel as a kid and they're stated in-game to have a sibling/uncle-niece relationship)

also he grew apart from penelope after his return, but the game makes a point of showing that his love for penelope and telemachus is what drove him on at all so that element of his character isn't brought into question

#i made a post abt it but deleted it bc it was speculating and i don't have the game bc i don't have a pc #but i found more screenshots and now.. i think it's a VERY real possibility they're going in this direction.#circe is in this game also. so i really need to see whether odysseus has any character specific dialogue about her #hard life when you can't even play the game and are hunting down bits of story from other people #hades game tag #hades 2 spoilers #sa mention #hades 2 #hades game #odysseus #penelope #i don't have any hard coping shipper brain on or anything but like. just. thinking about where his character can go given what we know #guaranteed penelope will be in this game too from how much she's brought up. we'll probably meet her on the surface #SO ITS LIKE. story wise. are we going to make a wife forgive her husband for cheating on her #or are we going to make a guy realize him being assaulted wasn't the same thing as him cheating on the love of his life #and i am heavily leaning towards the latter.#it's like if he genuinely did cheat on her and they grew apart what direction would his story go in.#how will us as the player help him in the same way we helped achilles/patroclus or orpheus/eurydice

with greece legalizing gay marriage and everything i'm so tired of people diminishing queerness in greece to "oh your ancient greek ancestors would be proud ! alexander the great would be proud ! achilles would be proud sappho would be proud plato would be proud" etcetc.

queer rights progressing in greece wouldn't make our "ancient greek ancestors" proud because they had an entirely different concept of marriage than us, viewed women as objects to be sold and traded and only accepted homosexuality between men, or even more likely, a man and a literal underage boy.

gay rights in greece aren't benefiting some people who died a few thousand years ago or are Literally Fictional. greek queerness isn't just some ancient dionysian fantasy of feeding each other grapes and reciting poetry to each other by the sea. actual greek people who do benefit from this still exist. it doesn't honor some ancient guy who condoned slavery. it honors greek queer people who were out there protesting at the controversy this law raised with the church and actually made the effort to win this fight.

ancient greece isn't the epitome of queerness, not even close. absolutely in no way when it concerned exclusively just gay men. the epitome of queerness is the trans kid from my hometown who insisted on cutting their hair and dressing masculine even within their transphobic high school environment and strict orthodox family, or the woman who taught me programming who was married with children and realized she was aromantic fifteen years into marriage, or the gay punks who kept cops out of the university's anarchist hotspot.

greek queer people aren't history or mythology, and ancient greece isn't the queer utopia you make it out to be. we're still here, and we're fighting against the exact ideas our ancient culture perpetuated.

#🧅#if i have to hear ONE MORE WORD about achilles and patroclus i'm gatekeeping greek mythology. don't piss me off.#ancient greece sucked ass. if i were born in ancient greece as a queer person AND as an afab person i'd actually just kms.#NOTHING about actual real life queer people fighting for their rights is about them. the people who were /oppressed/ by #ancient greek society sure. but nothing about it was queer friendy or liberating.

Do you think Achilles' horses talked to Patroclus more than they ever talked to him? Do you think every time Achilles walked into his own stables it looked like this
