Music in Film: Romeo + Juliet (1996) dir. Baz Luhrmann

it’s so jarring in the song puppeteer when we hear eurylochus without his signifying backup of the crew members; the eeriness we get with it and the fact that it’s the first sign of trouble: as well as the first time we really see eurylochus at a loss

I haven’t posted on here in years, but please spread awareness and support for my GoFundMe for my best friend who desperately needs funds for his surgery. He is an awesome person and I want to help him by raising money for him. Anything helps.

genuine question:

i see a lot of people hate on song of achilles. the main complaints i see are that patroclus is too babygirl, achilles and patroclus are too soft, etc. etc. but the point of the book is that we get the point of view from an unreliable narrator?? like, of course achilles is seen as more soft and sunshiney, it’s 1) a hypothetical fiction book and 2) based off of a separate fictional poem. of course patroclus narrates himself as not a fighter, because he compares himself to achilles all the time.

it’s not meant to be a perfect love story romance: it’s a story of pride, ego, heartbreak, and yes, love too, but the center point is always that it’s patroclus’s story. and anyways, if we’re going to hate on greek mythology retellings, then why do i never hear about people hating on circe? is it just because song of achilles is explicitly queer? her story is also a dramatically skewed retelling.

i have a lot more thoughts on this, but i’m just confused??

i don’t really think anything could’ve prepared me for the vulture dimension

nex benedict was 16 years old.

when i was 16, i dressed the same, wore my hair similarly. i wasn’t out as non-binary then, but i had already known at that point that i was different from my peers, and that felt isolating.

when i was 14 years old, my family started to joke that i would not make it to 16. i think it was because i was depressed or wasn’t as good at school as my older sister, but regardless they would joke about it.

i feel sick thinking about how on my 17th birthday, my mom celebrated the fact that i had made it past 16 officially. i got to move out soon after that, and left behind my bigoted town.

nex, as far as i have seen, had a loving family. but they don’t get to make it to 17. they don’t get to keep their supportive and loving family, or maybe the friends that accepted them and made him feel seen. nex doesn’t get to experience trans joy as an adult, or explore their gender more fully, or grow up anymore.

that was stolen from him. and now the government and local officials make monstrous accusations towards him, and try to tell the world something different than what it was: nex was murdered by two girls because this is exactly what the state had expected/hoped would happen. making gendered bathroom bans leads to isolated instances of violence where murderers can easily get away with things, especially when the states that they happen in have harmful views.

nex benedict deserved so much more, morgan moore deserved more, and every trans child in the world deserved their right to live and be happy and it was ripped away from them.

so to any straight ally reading this: it takes no effort to protect trans lives. it means spreading awareness, standing up to people, correcting strangers, friends, family; educating the existing members of communities with knowledge that will support their youth’s generations. it means listening to trans folks, queer folks, and especially queer/trans POCs because it’s them that are being targeted the most, so it’s them that should dictate.

be kind, sharp, and loyal to your trans loved ones, strangers, etc., because if you don’t step up when they are alive then you’ll be sorry when they’re dead.

i can’t believe this was the post that brought me to my 5,000 likes milestone

so do we think that sally jackson told poseidon at one point that she was going to name percy odysseus instead as a joke?? cause in my head she did and it was HILARIOUS (to her)

CONGRATS TO IZZY AND BRENNAN FOR THEIR BABY!! they’re gonna rock this!

now that congratulations are dealt out, let’s just all remember to please respect whatever privacy and boundaries they, and any parents who are online, require!! that means no demanding baby pics, baby names, or pressuring/shaming for not doing so!! protecting and keeping children safe sometimes means not presenting the baby online, and that’s totally ok and normal!

percy jackson fans clocking out after a long night of looking for two little italian kids in the background of a casino

ok so the new dirty laundry episode with dndads F U C K E D! the chemistry between all of them?? the insane confessions??? the raw sexual energy that anthony burch brings into any space he’s in???? i’m truly in love with all of them, and it was so cool to see them on dropout!

GUYS, NOT A DRILL -

THE NEXT EPISODE OF DIRTY LAUNDRY HAS DUNGEONS AND DADDIES

I’M SCREAMING, CRYING AND GNAWING AT THE BARS

You know what makes my blood boil?

When there’s female reader for canon GAY characters and what makes it worse is that there’s barley any male readers

The iliad really is like (I bore you for sorrow, nursed you for grief) (none of it was to be. lamenting it was my slow death) (I wish every last man on troy’s dusty plains was dead, and only you and I were left) (he’ll call me his grey-eyed girl again) (may I be dead and the earth heaped above me before i hear your cries as you are dragged away) (but you’re hurting, and I won’t let you down) (I begin and end with you) (if you and I could only get out of this war alive and be immortal and ageless all the rest of our days) (it was glorious to see if you could keep from grieving all the pain) (he knew the fight was not going his way, but he tried to save his friends) (he prayed to apollo. the lord of bright distance.) (oh, if only the gods loved him as I do) (running in a dream. you can’t catch up and you can’t get away) (you and I have come to the grief we were born for) (achilles, etched in sunlight) (let us give in to grief, however briefly, in each other’s arms) (do not lay my bones apart from yours) (and even if in hell the dead do not remember, even there I will remember my dear friend) (I will never return home) (he needed me to protect him) (i’m going now to find the man who destroyed my beloved) (but now to win glory) (it was all for nothing) (I loved him, and I killed him) (death is everywhere and in more shapes than we can count) (two fates sweep me on to my death) (let me not die ingloriously and without a struggle) (every moment might be our last. everything is more beautiful because we are doomed) (you will never be lovelier then you are now) (it is his own courage that kills him) (come closer) (come back where you belong.) (dear heart) (beloved) ……and expected me to not go insane 

i would know you in darkness

someone dare me to read the illiad and song of achilles again
