i saw some ppl on twt drawing these guys as kids and i find that very endearing actually

I did go into why I think Pyrrhus is more tragic than I realised. As I said prior I only thought of him as a one dimensional monster. I have always seen him as a mindless brute but last week, I thought about it.

He was born on an island surrounded by women to a father he most likely never met. He grew up revered and was told of his father’s prowesses and how he should live up to them or be ashamed.

He arrived in Troy after his father’s death and once more he was cast in his shadow. But the thing is that he was not sheltered on an island, told he would be just as great. He was on a battlefield amongst people who knew Achilles, loved him, hated him…. it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that he had to be enough and never could be.

Achilles was a beloved baby, a lover, a friend, an enemy. He was a hero, he had a destiny, he was awaited. Neoptolemos was never a person. He was just a shadow of his father, a remnant of the fear Achilles struck in people’s hearts. He was a ghost and monster. So he did what he thought was wanted. He killed and killed. Nothing was too violent, nothing was too cruel. He went too far trying to live up to expectations.

Neoptolemos… the 'new war'. Took up after his father… Arrived towards the end of the war. What good is a ‘new war’ when peace is afoot? He was doomed to be obsolete… unwanted… rejected.

He was first treated like someone’s son and then like a vile beast to be feared. He was treated like a monster and acted like one. A murderer and not a man. And then he died… to the hands of people he didn’t know. He didn’t even consider.

He was born silenced, grew up to be famous and yet unknown and died alone.

No wonder he was the way he was. Treated like an animal, man becomes beast.

Telemachus and Neoptolemus (and Argos)

*Pat is making it the exact same way*

My modern au take is that Pyrrhus is an absolute menace to everyone except Patroclus who he absolutely loves and he drives Achilles crazy nitpicking everything he does bc ‘Pat does it this way’ lmao

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3| Part 4| Part 5

au where bones is a witch, spock is a runaway prince and jim’s like, the chosen one or something (they don’t talk about it)

( prompt fill for @mcspirkevents bingo card prompt “fantasy au” ^_^ )

the biggest problem with tos’ episodic format is that the episode usually ends pretty quickly after the conflict resolves and then they never really talk about it again - no matter how intense or harrowing it was

which means that we don’t get to actually *see* the interpersonal fallout of bones being diagnosed with and cured from a previously-incurable terminal illness (that he didn’t even want to tell jim and spock he had), and then just four episodes later drugging them so that he can go be tortured (and likely die) instead of spock, and so jim doesn’t have to make the choice between them.

did they talk about it? beyond just a standard debrief and a “never fucking do that again bones i swear to god i mean it this time”? did they make it the captains’ quarters for the debrief, only for mccoy to be pulled into a crushing, trembling hug as soon as the door shut while jim tried to assure himself that bones was still here, was still breathing? spock hovering nearby - a hand gently coming to rest on his shoulder?

why didn’t mccoy want to tell them about the xenopolycythemia, anyways? to try and hold onto a few more normal-ish months before every time they looked at him their eyes would be filled with grief - mourning a man they hadn’t yet lost? the same reason he ran away; to spare them what he went through with his father?

only for him to immediately turn around and throw himself back to the wolves to (almost) die right in front of them anyways

i don’t really know how they handled it. whether they talked about it and attempted to soothe the hurt, or just resolutely tried to bottle it up.

but i do know this: spock eventually came back from gol because jim simply (though accidentally) called out for him in a moment of need. bones only came back because jim personally drafted him back into starfleet

Let's make a deal (ft Bill playing with Ford's feelings)

what if i said unrequited prongstail in the 'if you showed up at my door in fourty years i'd invite you in and tell you its been too long' way, in the 'i tell you that i love you and you smile and say it back, but i know what you really mean' way, in the 'all my friends say love made them soft but its only made my heart harden with steel' way. yes im a slut for the 'im not in love with you anymore/i didnt know you ever were', the 'i love you. you can tell me you dont love me back, this once/i dont know what you really want me to say'. but come ON. what if i said that.

I am so bad at the sneaking around in the second level too T_T

Its so hard and for like no reason

I have a problem where chants of sennar is an incredible game with an incredible art style with an incredible concept and I love it so much but I am so. So bad at it. But the thing is I'm not bad at the using context clues to translate the language part in fact I think im pretty decent at it its just that the other half of the game involves actual puzzles that do require you to solve them outside of just language translating and I don't think I have solved. A single one I am still in the first area of the game.

I can’t stop thinking about this tiktok so I’m sharing it here to watch whenever I please

I have never read a warrior cats book but I agree completely

i would be a kittypet all the way in the warrior cats universe. if i heard a bunch of guys were in the woods killing each other for survival and they think i'm the lame one for getting mediocre banquets i would be like you guys are stupidd and then when the thunderclan medicine cat comes by my fenced lot to pick yarrow i would be like what are you doing and shes like medicine so my clanmates don't die and i'm like wow you guys really have it that rough. and she keeps encountering me and one day i'm like why don't you come inside there's plenty of kibble and she averts her eyes shyly and is like ...no that would be against starclan and i'd go To have a little kibble? and she's like You know what i mean. and i do. 5 moons later she is getting adopted by my people and visions of her ancestors still haunt her and she is from time to time like Did I do the right thing...? how could i be so selfish...? and i'm like my toy mouse squeaks

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

barty and evan have that phineas and ferb dynamic in which barty literally cannot shut the fuck up and evan says maybe 10 words a day to people who aren't barty

One of my favorite tropes will always be James just solidly thinking that Barty and Evan are dating, then being beyond confused when Barty mentions being single or something because like what do you mean they haven’t been in a slightly unhinged and much too codependent relationship for years?

i feel like in the past few weeks rosekiller has started to seem like a basic golden retriever/black cat vibe and i just want everyone to remember that they are both freaks. they’re both insane. that’s why they’re great, they’re not like every other ship. they’re insane.

Some sketches of all 14 (unless I've somehow forgotten one) fears turned into stickers! Will post the finished drawings once I have them all (so far I only have half done) :)

Tragedies of the Labyrinth

Icarus & the Minotaur

🦔

This is Charles. He wants to go on a journey around tumblr. could you show him around?

sorry yeah ive got a bad case of Thinking About My Friends. im afraid its incurable. symptoms include happiness and love and wishes that they will have the life they want to live.

James was the mum friend in a "wraps you in a soft blanket and makes you tea when you're not feeling well" way.

Sirius needed someone to love him.

Remus needed someone to accept him.

Peter needed someone to value him.

And James made sure each of them went to bed smiling.

Regulus was the mum friend in a "chasing you around the house screaming at you to not put forks in the plug sockets" way.

Evan had no regard for safety, his own or others.

Barty has no impulse control.

Pandora did dangerous experiments on a daily basis.

Dorcas would do just about anything if you paid her enough.

And Regulus was just trying to keep those fucking idiots alive.
