my favorite FAVORITE part of song of achilles is the dramatic irony. us knowing how their story ends and being so aware of that while Achilles and Pat have no idea. “What’s Hector done to me” “The never let you be famous AND happy, but I’ll be the first” “I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me”. The double meaning when achilles tells pat that if pat has to go, he will go with him. War and death. Chiron asking Achilles don’t you think it is the greater grief to be left on earth when another is gone, and Achilles simply replies with “perhaps”. not knowing. NOT KNOWING!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WORDS. I LOVE BOOKS.

#the way that this is such an effective tragedy. #us reading their love story and promises of lifelong devotion #knowing they won’t make it past the war #art. #it is art #song of achilles #madeline miller

literally some of the best content to ever be posted on the internet is the piece of the livestream where the camera does not work

Sometimes I think about all the guest kudos I have ever gotten on AO3 and wonder - how many people, maybe people who are new to fandom, have read my fics and smiled? How many people have come to A03 from my Tumblr? Has one of my fics ever been the first fic someone has ever read? Has anyone ever joined fandom because of one of my silly little fics? Read one of my fics on their phone under the dinner table or their desk at school or work?

Probably not. Maybe? I don't know who these people are; now many anonymous "guests" are different people? How many are the same person, reading through all my stuff? How many are people with an account that loved the fic so much they logged out just to leave another kudos?

I just went on AO3 and locked all my fics, making them only available for registered users. No more guests. It makes me sad; it feels like saying goodbye to all these faceless, happy little people who have found my stuff and left behind a fleeting trace of their essence to let me know they read something of mine and it made them smile. (Or cry? I don't know. They're just kudos.) It makes me sad saying goodbye to them, but I don't want the soul of my works, my soul, fed to AI. Mindless, devouring monster without a heart, black cloud of toxic fog darkening the bright horizon.

Always thought about TKJ whenever I picked up on the Joker's childhood implications across different comics. You know when Bruce said something like " Maybe ordinary people don't always crack… maybe it is just you". And man that STINGS in this context. Of course not excusing Joker's actions or blaming Bruce for his words there. As comics progress and new writers meta analyse previous adaptations of his character, we will surely get a deeper dive into his childhood and parallels with Bruce's upbringing. 'Tis the way comics tend to go. I don't think we will ever get a full picture and if we do it will soon be chucked back to the " Oh this? This is not canon, just a little thing on the side" pile.

Joker burning his home, killing his parents, never coming back, not having a support system, being abused. Bruce preserving his home, losing his parents, staying, having someone, being loved. And somehow both are as tragic. That's art right there.

Yes to all of this, basically.

Them being inversions and mirrors of each other is eternally fascinating to me. Bruce and Joker having opposite lives at every turn, but a very similar way of coping with powerful trauma -- the death of their family -- simply fits too well, and I prefer to read it like that no matter what new writers and new continuities bring. They've started from a similar event on the same axis, but their choices situated them at opposing extremes. In many ways they represent two broad roads any person can take when faced with the cruelty of the world, and the kind of trauma that shatters your trust in humanity; choosing to believe you can create meaning, vs. choosing to believe there's no meaning at all. 'I'll make sure this will not happen to anyone else' vs. 'I'll make sure everyone else goes through the same pain I did'. The conflict between Batman and Joker is, in the end, an essential human conflict (what do we do when nothing makes sense?), and that's why they've endured for so long and became such a staple of modern culture.

you are not a content generator. you are not a machine. you are not responsible for others. you are you. you are a creator. you are an artist. you must make what you want to make, for yourself, in your own time. anything else is stealing from yourself to feed others tbh. and sharing art is about the act of sharing your bounty. it is about being so full you start filling others. it is about having so much beauty and abundance that you must share it. it is not about starving yourself. i promise you this
