it should be illegal to make satosugu edits to mitski's songs with song of achilles quotes

#name one hero who was happy?#crying and sobbing #and perhaps it is greater grief after all to be left on earth when another is gone #i'm ending it all #nothing in this world belongs to me but my love is mine oh mine #ue ue ue (sound of crying)#satosugu #sugusato #stsg #sgst #gojo satoru #geto suguru #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #stsg coded

i don’t think i can physically bring myself to read books that have been released as paperbacks or real life physical copies, on my phone because... are you trying to act like my beloved fanfiction? do you think you hold an inkling to my little archive of fanfics and endless ao3 tabs opened in a whole tag group?????????????

#books #i did one test experiment #i started song of achilles as an ebook from an app from my public library #at first i was like wow :D #now i can read books on the go #so convenient and easy! :D #thats in theory.#because when i got to reading it on my phone #couldnt pass the first chapter #when i picked up the book (the physical copy)#i scoured that shit in 2 days #loved it btw #perhaps it is the greater grief after all to be left on earth when another is gone #love chiron fr #ebook #wattpad #ao3 #is this just me

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. [...] When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.” 🩸

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” 🌻

Two souls, reunited.

(quotes from Madelline Miller's The Song Of Achilles)

SatoSugu x Song of Achilles

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.

But most ugly of all are his eyes: blue, bright blue. When people see them, they flinch. Such things are freakish. He is lucky he was not killed at birth.

He is half of my soul, as the poets say.

He smiled, and his face was like the sun.

“Name one hero who was happy.” I considered…

“You can't.”

“I can't.”
