thinking abt patroclus and hektors bodies in the iliad and the aeneid. patroclus appearing to achilles as achilles loved him instead of as he died and hektor appearing to aeneas as mutilated even when we know apollo stopped his body from rotting. thinking abt the effect of the living on the dead

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.
if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

"I told you I would always come for you. Why didn't you wait for me?"
"Well, you were dead."
"Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."
"I will doubt again."
"There will never be a need."
True love! a bit ineffable, wouldn't you say?
I think that Good Omens is similar to The Princess Bride in that both are full of humor and maybe don't take themselves too seriously, but are also full of love <3
Happy Valentine's Day! Have a little silliness and a smooch!
more princess omens

Sometimes I think being otherkin is not a big part of who I am or I forget about it completely and then sometimes I'll just be a creature at the supermarket

it will haunt me the rest of my life that we'll probably never know the parents in eah real names. who were they, before they became just characters in story, no true identity of their own. just monikers and titles, nothing more. like, it's so horrifically tragic, to have to give everything up including your own name and it's kind of brushed aside. yes ik it's technically just a theory but who names their kid The Huntsman or The Queen of Hearts or Beauty (that's it! that's Briar's mom's entire name </3) those aren't names. but it's what they become upon graduating ever after high.

☾ The Age of the Stars ☾
Upon the order I envision. Mine will be an order not of gold, but the stars and moon of the chill night. I would keep them far from the earth beneath our feet. As it is now, life, and souls, and order are bound tightly together, but I would have them at a great remove. And have the certainties of sight, emotion, faith, and touch… All become impossibilities.
Which is why I would abandon this soil, with mine order. Wouldst thou come to me, even now, my one and only lord?
