I Did Go Into Why I Think Pyrrhus Is More Tragic Than I Realised. As I Said Prior I Only Thought Of Him

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.

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

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 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
