"My pulse jumps, for no reason I can name. He has looked at me a thousand thousand times, but there is something different in this gaze, an intensity I do not know. " [The song of Achilles- Madeline Miller]

“I thought of how many nights I had lain awake in this room loving him in silence.

Later, Achilles pressed close for a final, drowsy whisper, ‘If you have to go, you know I will go with you.’ We slept.”

The Song Of Achilles, 118

[hellomugglesx]

I am currently reading "The song of Achilles", and I wanted to give my thoughts on why Patroclus' and Achilles' relationship works so well.

For starters I think their relationship works so well because Patroclus was the first person in Achilles' life that saw him as a person, a friend.Everyone in Achilles' life saw him as only a prophecy, an asset of war, they saw him as something that will bring great fortune, but never as a child.Achilles was never able to truly live his childhood because of all this pressure.Patroclus was the first person he could relax around and just be himself.

Similarly, Achilles was also the first person to judge Patroclus on his personality not on how fast he can run or how handsome he is.Unlike everyone in Patroclus' childhood, Achilles never looked down on him, never saw him as less just because he couldn't do some things as well as the other boys.

These two have been each other's grounding stones, their shoulder to cry on, and with the kind of things they've been through, I think they deserve it.

*lebanese journalist | could not find date of martyrdom

spent the whole day confirming all of these names and looking through multiple resources. the ones with dates are journalists who’s date of martyrdom and/or exact cause of death is stated by sources besides the government media office official list.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

So, I’ve just read the new chapter of this fic that I love and I’ve been bawling my eyes out. The non-linear process of healing and learning how to accept love even if you don’t feel deserving of it hits so close to home.

7th poem is from @halfof-mysoul !

Can we please talk about this goof ball? this absolute cringefest of a character? Because I adore him, I just cannot contain my glee when i see him, this is one of the most characters of all time.

He just wants to be usefull, wants to belong, and is so overjoyed by the idea that he's needed that he doesn't even hesitate before the idea that his (so called) friends are fighting world thretening aliens before hurling himself head first into danger. Fuck, as far as he knows he's he only awnser to his friends problems.
