my melancholy musings

I just remembered I'm still mad that Jane Hopper killed herself instead of getting to learn about the world or see her parents get married or have a healthy romantic relationship or be able to afford the clothing style she loves or watch Pretty Women or have a conversation with Max again or---

“tsoa achilles mischaracterizes iliad achilles!!” umm obviously… the book is patroclus telling all of his memories of their story to thetis. tsoa patroclus is so blinded by love and admiration, we really cant trust his image of achilles because he sees him as this perfect man that does no wrong and hopes for the reader to do the same, plus his memories are blurry as he’s retelling the story. he himself says "i dont know if some of my memories are even real.” lets not forget that not one person in the iliad nor the odyssey were good people, it wasnt just achilles

Shane calls Ilya a passenger princess one (1) time and after that, he will constantly say shit like “away to the carriage” and “by royal decree we must listen to Kendrick now.” Shane’s not even sure where he learned the phrase ‘royal decree’ but suspects Ilya did fucking research for this bit.

in their first year, sirius saw how remus always had his nose buried in a book, so i imagine tiny sirius surprising him with handmade bookmarks that he made, shyly pressing them in his hands, as his way of asking will you be my friend?

I do want Shane to interact with his fellow queers who know fuck all about hockey, if only so he can experience the supreme satisfaction of having SOMEONE react appropriately to the reveal that he's dating Ilya - which is to say, they take one look at Ilya before whipping back around to Shane, jaws dropped, and go "Holy SHIT!!" and Shane can FINALLY smugly proclaim "I KNOW right??" Let him have this, at least
