Idk abt y’all but one of my favorite things about Homers literature is thinking less about morality, since the culture and context the text was written in was wildly different from our own
This concludes my thesis on why Odysseus and Achilles are my favorite
Emperor Nero:
French fries? No thanks I only do that to Christian’s
whenever something especially good happens to me I like to use the phrase “and suddenly the world is a little bit brighter” and that’s not necessarily true but sometimes when a boulder is lifted off of your back and you’re able to stand up again, you realize your love for the color of the sky and the sweetness of air in your lungs. sometimes when you take a break in your climb up the mountain, you realize how far you’ve come and my g-d. the view from here.
Love how sky is just there living rent free in Victor’s head… guess you could say he needed a

watching supernatural for the first time, got to season seven, leviathan cas walks into the reservoir and basically drowns himself, dean finds his trenchcoat in the water
do you think he kept it? in case he came back? did he hold onto it when things seemed impossible, hoping divine cinematic magic would save him?
nvm was just dehydrated
If I could curl up in a ball and turn to stone as soon as possible that would be ideal thank you
Why am not ecstatic? I’ve done everything that’s supposed to make me happy. Such convoluted character development.
#52 for your ask game?
Yeah…
I look around on this lovely day and see no one. Do they not know the pleasures of the outside world? Are they, like I was not ten minutes ago cooped up in the comfort of their homes? Buffoons. Come outside and face the sunlight.
okay but what if. what if instead of starting a new show I rewatched that other show. for a third time.
So silly when straight friends slap my ass with a stretchy hand. Do it yourself, coward.
I have my qualms about certain churches past actions and beliefs, but I must admit they had some beautiful architecture
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I led you astray
I told you that never would I leave
I told you I would always stay behind
I told you that I wouldn’t deceive
That in me constant friendship you’d find
I didn’t mean to neglect you so cruelly
I must truly have just been distracted
I can’t have intentionally hurt you so unduly
I wonder, how must you have reacted?
Forgive me, my friend
Forgive me, I plead
If only to let my suffering end
And give me just one last good deed
blew
have you guys done that “what kind of reader are you” quiz and if so what did you get
Oh boy can’t wait to start the Aeneid by virgin my favorite forgotten boy

I love Hector and Achilles so much why’d daddy Zeus have to make them fight :(
Low-key I’d make such a good medieval knight
Except, like the religion part
Or the fighting part
But I’d eat that aesthetic for sure
I will acquise, with having Only read the Iliad and not read the stories where Achilles "falls madly in love" with Deidemia, it's very easy to interpret this man as being gay* and plainly not actually interested in women as anything beyond a status symbol. Sure he "acquires" women from Lesbos for himself and Patroclus, and is upset when Briseis is taken from him but it's easy to read that as expectation/obligation and his pride being hurt, respectively, moreso than him being genuinely interested in women.
Patroclus, well, i don't think we spend enough time with him to know but I feel like it could go either way, with him being either gay or bisexual
*i am aware that our modern terminology and understanding of sexuality is not the same as sexuality from any other time but for simplicity sakes i'm using gay and bisexual
I got that Frankenstein build - emaciated and sleep deprived
I am currently looking at a pc, a laptop, an iPad, and a phone. I have achieved peak unproductivity.
To the person I have known for most of my life and have spent more time with than anyone else excluding my parents:
“So, are we like friends?”
I’m so forgetful I can’t even remember to
Corban minixode
I get that Victor was irresponsible for leaving the monster on his own but if a barely alive eight foot tall glowing eyed man was looming over me yeah I’d just kinda run too
