i‘ll love you ‘til my breathing stops

Patroculus this, Achilles that, what about Hector? What about the plight of being a hero and the sacrificial lamb of your people? what about having your corpse desecrated after your death, your homeland destroyed, your infant son killed and your wife enslaved? All because you couldn’t defeat a demigod in a war that you didn’t want? What about making all the right choices and still losing? What then??

you know What’s really sad? Hector of Troy will never be king. Hector, break of horses, Hector the Just, crown prince and heir, Hector, who loved his family more than his life, Hector, who dreamed of his son becoming greater than he, a thing very few heroes wished for, Hector, fairer than any of the Greeks, Hector. Hector will never be king, and his son will never become greater than he, and his wife cannot live a life of comfortability.

it’s actually not misogynistic to say astrology is bogus, and it is indeed way way more misogynistic to believe that things that can’t be proven rationally through science are More Female.

it’s so funny bc sen MASSIVELY minimized the sexual assault plot, made it very very clear kaine was under duress and was in pain the entire time AND arguably went too far out of their way to emphasize with kaine in the flashbacks that he never touched her without explicit consent & that was his main priority (at a certain point i was like…. okay…) and people are still acting like the book is about Rape Being Romantic. you people can’t handle anything.

Here is something holy and terrible

Keep making myself like choke laughing because I keep imagining a Netflix documentary following Augustus Gloop 20 years after the chocolate factory incident, heavily advertised across the platform and titled "Augustus: After the Gloop" like with his face in shadow or something
