do you think this is a motherfuckin’ podrace???

I’ll admit that this one has cemented itself in my psyche

The fact that Julius Caesar burst into tears after reading about Alexander the Great because they were the same age but he could never live up to Alexander is one of the greatest things I’ve learnt as a classics student

and Alexander himself got upset over the fact that he would never live up to Achilles- he paid his respects at Achilles and Patroclus’ tomb, and kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. History is nothing but a long, long list of maudlin queers fearing that they’ll fail to live up to the maudlin queers who came before them. 

Lesson of the post: become your own maudlin queer and wreck as much shit as possible

girls loving girls is natural and right and what the universe intended

If you need me I’ll be in the bath watching lava on my television
