The Dress

[tiny-b3r]

So I just finished reading The Song of Achilles, and forgive me if I'm stating the obvious but . . .

About two thirds of the way in, Thetis tells the boys that there is a new prophecy, that "the best of Myrmidons will die before two more years have passed." And at first they're afraid that it's Achilles, but then Thetis tells them that he will be alive when it happens

The first time I read this, I didn't understand. It was only when I read that passage again, after knowing what happens, that I realized the prophecy was about Patroclus

The book even acknowledges it later on, when Briseis is saying goodbye to him . . . "'Best of men. Best of Myrmidons.' She places her fingers to my lips, stopping my objection. 'It is truth,' she says. 'Let it stand for once.'"

In the first half of the book, a lot of Patroclus's pov is dedicated to describing how beautiful and amazing Achilles is. And when you see how ordinary and pathetic Patroclus makes himself look in comparison, you almost start to wonder why Achilles loves him in the first place

But Patroclus was the best of all of them, even better than Achilles. No one else had his kindness, his tenderness, his unwavering care for others

And Achilles knew this. Further on, Briseis says that Patroclus was worth ten of him, and Achilles doesn't disagree

It’s the middle of the night. Chiron should probably get some sleep. Looking out of his window he sees two boys, they’re stargazing. Achilles! He thinks. Patroclus!

It’s only then that he realises that Patroclus’ skin is way too white and as glorious as Achilles was, he definitely didn’t light up like a glow stick in the night. It’s not them. It’s just Nico and Will.

It’s been over 2000 years, they’re dead, Chiron, they’re dead.

Never understood the collective vehement resentment of small talk lol i hate the painful grind of small talk as much as the next person but i think id rather shrivel up and die than be denied nuggets of joy found in standing in an elevator and having a middle aged woman compliment my nails or bonding fleetingly with a cafegoer over the city's temperamental weather it's so integral to nurturing & cultivating the soul i think

You know what, I'm super glad for the bagginshield fandom. It's a lovely little pocket of kind, funny, talented folks, who are all just out here screaming excitedly about a gentle-hobbit and a dwarf king!

Whoa, hey!

Obviously when everyone else is thinking how cool Falin is as a monster, Senshi is thinking of what a nutritional meal full of protein she’d make.

I love drawing in this style, it always makes me want to paint. I would love to do massive oil paintings that look biblical, but instead of depicting Christianity it’s just different anime. People would be all is that Jesus, and I’d be all no it’s Goku from Dragon Ballz.

I think I could be more off-putting if given the chance. Release me from my enclosure

Musing out loud in your inbox, so pay me no mind, but I really think that Ivan's primary emotion in round 6 wasn't love, but resentment. Something along the lines of, "My life never mattered to you, so my death shouldn't matter to you either, even though this means so much to me." His first, final, and only "fuck you, dude," the kind you can only give to someone you genuinely care for. Ivan has always been waiting on the sidelines and behind-the-scenes to everything in his own life, passively observing it all, and I think round 6 was meant to be him finally taking active control of his own life, doing something just for him, selfishly, no matter the cost or consequence. So, the first emotion he blatantly expresses in the round is resentment, and then he is shot, and only then does he get his light back as if "oh, no, the love is still there, it didn't go anywhere." And then he smiles.

his first, final, and only "fuck you, dude" 😭

This interpretation is really interesting in the way that it hit me in the chest with how I kind of related to it (no context).

I think the "my life didn't matter to you, so my death shouldn't, either" sentiment was very present in Ivan's mind during that moment. Viewing this scene as one fueled by that specific flavor of resentment is actually one of the most unique interpretations I've heard so far. Not sure that I agree with it, but I resonate with it in some weird personal way. In Ivan's situation, certainly the feelings of resentment would be there. We're only human, after all. Some people can't help but feel it deep inside. I don't think his resentment overpowered his love, though.

"the love is still there, it didn't go anywhere." what if i shriveled like a raisin
