I HAVE NEVER SOBBED HARDER THAN RIGHT NOW, IN MY BED, LISTENING TO THE SOUNDTRACK OF “Achilles and the Sun”. I’M ACTUALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW. LIKE, TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE, HICCUPING, SHAKING AND CURLED INTO A BALL. IT’S… OH MY GODS. I RECOMMEND IF YOU LIKED “The Song of Achilles”.

😭

I don’t know…

Achilles: “…seeing that my dear comrade Patroclus has fallen—he whom I valued more than all others and loved as dearly as my own life?” Historians: So… platonic besties, right? Achilles: What—? No— I— I said I LOVED HIM. Historians: Yep. Platonic. Friends. Achilles: WHAT PART OF I LOVED HIM DO YOU NOT GET— DID YOU GET DROPPED ON THE HEAD AS A CHILD? IT’S NOT PLATONIC, GODS DAMN IT! Historians: *writing down how good of friends the two were* You were saying?

(Quote from Samuel Butler’s translation of The Iliad)

Getting to know your mutuals

Favorite color: purple, and if I have to pair it, it's with aquamarine, I think that looks pretty af

Last song I listened to: The Sharpest Lives by My Chemical Romance, which I think is probably my favorite song by them. I need to be in a specific mood to listen to mcr, and today I was in that mood.

Currently reading: shamefully, nothing. Work has been kicking my butt nonstop and I have focused more on writing than reading. I should be able to pick up a book soon, and my current plan is to read Geneva by Richard Armitage. I need a good thriller/crime book, I haven't read one in too long. Alternatively, I might go with a classic Agatha Christie book, because you can never go wrong with Monsieur Poirot.

Currently watching: Well, since the people over at Project Fear are super busy and not publishing a lot because they are still editing the videos, I'm catching up on their old show Destination Fear. I know ghost hunting shows get a lot of bad rep (mostly and rightfully due to Zak Bagans), but these four weirdos are fun to watch, the show is edited well, and the background history of the places they visit is super fascinating to me, I love abandoned places.

Currently craving: butter popcorn and an ice-cold glass of ice tea.

Tea or Coffee: Tea, all the way, always. I drink mugs of tea, not cups lol and multiple of them every day. I don't like coffee, but when I'm particularly tired I drink it for the caffeine boost. However, the way I drink my coffee is not exactly healthy nor Italian lol I put two espressos in a mug, then milk, almond syrup and ice. By the end, you can't even taste the coffee anymore lol

“‘Name one hero who was happy.’ I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason’s children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus’ back. ‘You can’t.’ He was sitting up now, leaning forward. ‘I can’t.’ ‘I know. They never let you be famous AND happy.’ He lifted an eyebrow. ‘I’ll tell you a secret.’ ‘Tell me.’ I loved it when he was like this. ‘I’m going to be the first.’ He took my palm and held it to his. ‘Swear it.’ ‘Why me?’ ‘Because you’re the reason. Swear it.’ ‘I swear it,’ I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes. ‘I swear it,’ he echoed. We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned. ‘I feel like I could eat the world raw.’” - Achilles and Patroclus (Patroclus POV, The Song of Achilles)
