If you enjoyed this book you should read every other book in the world for extra textual context. All things are intricately related to one another.

hey (with the intention of making you go to the bookstore with me)

rummaging for an earl grey teabag like its a cigarette

why are greek mythology adaptations always so gritty when there’s so many weird ridiculous antics to pull from. helen of troy not knowing how to cheer up telemachus so she just drugs him unconscious and calls it a night. athena divinely intervening to curl odysseus’ hair so he looks sexy enough to successfully beg for help. aphrodite trying help her kid on the battlefield and having to run away immediately because she gets beat up by a random mortal. achilles’ horse prophesying death to him and then never speaking again

btw speaking of manuscripts did you all know that you can just go to this website that lists all the lancelot-grail manuscripts that exist and links to views for most of them, all of which are available for free to look at online!!! you can just go browsing and find your favorite arthurian characters :) a little hard to navigate + definitely helpful if you happen to know medieval french LOL but regardless you too can peruse medieval arthurian manuscripts for free whenever you want

in the furthest right column it also will tell you which manuscripts are illustrated and how much illustrations they have so you can easily see which ones have pictures (because some of them don’t.) this manuscript is one that i found that has pretty large and very high quality illustrations if you would like a place to start :)

and like i saw someone with their pictish beast fully off leash at the fishmonger's yesterday fleece mangy as fuck and it was snapping up atlantic mackerels whenever its owner had their back turned i'm telling you it's crazy out here

Really obsessed with this one like how old cameras worked making everyone blurry against the statue and just makes you realize how long the statue has been right. There.

i dont think my homunculus is coming back from this one
