"Sleeping late?" - Achilles to Nathaniel

The truth is, Nate didn't sleep much. It wasn't until the sun was finally up that he managed a few hours of sleep. He still gave a tired smile to Achilles. The surgeon seemed less cranky than yesterday.

“Did you sleep at all?” Achilles asked, when he took in Nathaniel's current state, and especially the dark circles under his eyes.

Nathaniel couldn't really put into words how the silence in the bedroom he was given was haunting. He never liked silence, but especially not after he killed someone. Or worse, after he almost killed someone. The siren would've loved saying it was the guilt that kept him awake, and it partly was, but mostly it was the hunger. He wanted more. For a terrible moment, the daunting hunger made him horribly aware of the other living creature that was near - the doctor that gave him shelter. That thought made him feel sick; he almost ran away to find Ursula, but he never found her in those moments, she found him. He wouldn't know where to search. So he looked for a distraction and quickly found some poetry books. It soothed him enough to grab a few hours of sleep.

Of course, he wouldn't say all that to the man that helped him.

“I found some of your poetry books. They kept me awake. They tend to do that. I particularly enjoyed the Rûmî compilation. It's my favorite, I have it in my bedroom too.”

Achilles raised an eyebrow. “You have books under the sea?”

Nathaniel laughed. He quite like the direct questions that the man asked. Not many people talked to him like that. “Well, not a lot of course. I just have this one, really. The rest are on land, but I really love Rûmî and I wanted to have him with me always.”

“How does it not... You know-”

“Get soaked?”

“Yeah.”

“My big sister made it waterproof. I like to think it was a gift but really I was just being a crybaby and didn't want to go back without it.”

A silence followed, and Nathaniel would've given everything to know what was on Achilles' mind.

“There's breakfast on the table.” Achilles said after a few long seconds.

“I'm not really hungry.” Anyone who knew Nate would know how alarming this was. The prince could generally eat for five and demand a refill. “And anyway, I abused your hospitality for too long. I'll leave now.”

“You mean we'll leave.”

“Huh?”

“I proposed you a ride to the sea, didn't I? Besides, do you even have a carriage?”

Nathaniel smiled. He didn't, and that wasn't really necessary. But he found himself wanting to spend more time with the surgeon, so he accepted, and they both headed outside.

The ride to the water was surprisingly agitated. Both men easily talked about poetry together. It started with Rûmî but quickly went elsewhere. Nathaniel welcomed the noise, and the apparent normality of the conversation, despite the strange circumstances of their meeting. He was almost sad when the carriage stopped and they reached their destination.

When he stepped out of the vehicle, he felt a knot in his stomach at the mere vision of the ocean. He did not like that place, and he was in no rush to go back. So when Achilles got closer, and Nate didn't move, the surgeon was visibly confused.

“Are you not.... Going back to the water?”

“No. Not yet.”

“...Why?”

“I can't go just now. It's pretty clear that I fed on someone. My father will be angry, I prefer to wait it out a little.”

“Why would your father be angry? Isn't he a siren?”

“No he's not.”

“What is he then?”

The king of the sea was not an answer Nate wanted to give, so he just stayed evasive. “Just... something else.”

“... Okay, now I'm starting to think that you're just being intentionally mysterious to make me want to know more.”

Nathaniel laughed again. A true laugh, with creasing at the corner of his eyes. He looked at Achilles, noticing how beautiful he looked in the sunlight. Especially his eyes. Nate actually wasn't trying to be mysterious, there were just things he couldn't say to a stranger. But still, he went along with it.

“Is it working?”

“Maybe..” Achilles smirked. “But can you at least tell me why we have come all this way if you don't plan to go back to the sea.”

“I heard people really love the ocean. Don't you?”

“... We came all this way so I could see the ocean?”

“Well.... Now that you're saying it out loud it sounds dumb.”

This time, Achilles was the one laughing, which relaxed Nathaniel a little. The siren wasn't the type to really think before acting most of the time. He wanted to spend a bit more time with Achilles, so he just went along with it. And the beach was a great place to do so, right?

When Achilles sat in the sand, Nate figured it wasn't such a bad idea after all. He relaxed even more and sat next to him.

“It is relaxing. As a doctor, I often prescribe walks on the beach, for the salted air. Also, the view is beautiful.”

“It's certainly is.... vaste.... and wet, I guess.”

“Not a big fan huh? Don't sirens love the water?”

“Don't have a lot of good memories here.”

Indeed, his first memory was drowning, and then hurting so badly he thought he might die. He almost did. From that point on, it was only violence, until he found Malachai. And he did love his family, he really did. A little too much. So of course some memories hurt. Like the forced restriction, the everlasting hunger that made him feel like dying at first, his father beating him for his nature, his mother being executed, his sister excluded, banished and erased. The constant pressure of being a prince, knowing than at any moment Triton could revoke him, since he wasn't technically his blood. Knowing that despite that, he loved them all too much to even risk it. To risk them knowing what he did, sometimes, when he went away.

“More mysteries.” Achilles said, making him come back to earth. He shook his head and focused his attention on the man next to him.

“Well what about you Doc?”

“What about me?”

“What's your story?”

“What makes you think I have an interesting story?”

“Let's see. You got a stranger storming into your house in the middle of the night, carrying a man he killed. And not only do you help him burry the body, you also offer him a place for the night AND a ride home. You can't convince me there's not a good story behind this?”

Achilles' smiled deepened and it occurred to Nathaniel that they both didn't stop smiling for a long time now. Achilles took some time to think, but somehow decided to be elusive too.

“Why did you try to save that man yesterday?”

“Why did you help me?”

“You're eluding my questions.”

“And you mine. I guess we both like to play the mysterious card, don't we?”

“I guess we do.”

There was that silence again. Not an unpleasant or uncomfortable one, not at all. A silence Nate didn't hate - he didn't think this was possible.

“I'll tell you what.” This time, it was Nate who broke the silence. He wanted to tell Achilles how much he loved his eyes, but he figured that was a bit too soon. “I answer one question, you answer one of mine. But first, I'm really hungry now. Do you have a place to recommend?”

Achilles raised an eyebrow. “Do you eat human food?”

Nate choked on his laugh. “What?”

“Well, I figured you said you weren't hungry this morning out of politeness, because you didn't want to say that the food wasn't really your type of diet. Was I right? Because, I know I helped you burry a body, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with assisting while you eat someone.”

“I... You're really a unique type of fellow, aren't you?”

“Or so I heard.”

“Don't worry Doc, I do eat human food. A lot of human food, actually.”

“Perfect then. I know just the place.”

He got up and held out his hand to Nathaniel. And even if the siren didn't really need it, he took it all the same.

It's truthfully so hilarious to me that people hate Odysseus bc he "cheated on Penelope with Circe and Calypso"(characters who he HAD to sleep with against his will) and then go love Achilles for only, ONLY being gay, completely ignoring his... (oh boy get ready)

1) his treatment of women (raping and enslaving them)

2) neglecting his son (ik l can't blame him but he didn't NEED to be in the war unlike others)

3) being a crybaby and not caring that his friends are getting hurt just bc his "girlfriend" got taken away.

4) demanding a human sacrifice AFTER DYING ( idk abt you but that seems like a jerk move)

5) cheating on his wife several times (the reason Odysseus gets hated for)

6) his lack of self-control

7) KILLING HECTOR

8) KILLING HECTOR'S 9-YEAR-OLD BROTHER

9) and the list probably goes on

In conclusion? Only despise Odysseus for being either dumb, narcissistic, or a war criminal.

Being Achilles is… weird.

I’ve already grieved. Back in the day, when I first lost him and my rage was what won us the war. I grieved extremely unhealthily, I caused bloodshed, I caused pain, I caused countless souls to take their one way trip to hades early. While it did feel like a massive relief to get all that raw heartbreak out, it also turned me into the worst version of myself. Then I go and get myself shot, killed and sent to the underworld. And for a long, long time, I couldn’t face him. I was ashamed of who I’d become, I was convinced he’d never want to see my face again. For years, years and years I stood in that hall and reflected on everything that lead me to this point. Dead and depressed, traumatised and full of guilt. It took me a long time to process it, but eventually I turned into this apathetic shade of a man known for his rage and whenever someone would come to me for advice on bravery and conquest I’d just tell them to never turn out like I did. Fight for your loved ones yes, but don’t become a bloodthirsty, revenge seeking monster like I did. It’ll wreck you. I came to see him as a past lover, someone I still held dear but would likely never see again. A fond, bittersweet memory.

And then I saw him again. And truth be told, I didn’t know what to feel. There was all that guilt again, but I was also in tears with joy that I could finally say sorry in person and say I love you even if it was for one final time before he told me I was a monster and never wanted to see me again. By the grace of the gods, things just… went back to normal. The normal before the war and before the bloodshed. When we were just dumb kids getting into trouble while we took a break from training.

And now, I’m ripped away from it all again and placed into a system to protect a group of people from all walks of life. Sharing a body, sharing traumas and feelings. And yet this time… I didn’t need to grieve. I already did, I’d lost him one, loosing him again didn’t hit me as hard. Like I’d let all that anger and sadness out back in my warrior days and there was just none left. Of course I miss him dearly, but I’ve come to accept, I’ll probably never see him again this time.

Patroclus if you’re out there, I know you know this already but just remember that I love you, that I’m sorry for everything that happened during that stupid fucking war, that no matter where you may be, I’ll always support you in spirit. And please, find peace without me. I don’t think I’ll ever be fully at peace without you, so you do what I can’t ok? For your own sake. I love you, I always will. Don’t remember me as the bloodthirsty monster I became. Remember me as the stupid crybaby kid you’d have stick sword fights with after training. Back when it just just us, the big wide world, and no one to ever tear us apart.

okay this is anime called devilman crybaby. where this guy called ryo is sent when he was a kid as a mission on earth to invade and kill everyone hes basically devil/satan. in his kid years he befriends this guy akira whos very sweet and soft and starts crying at literally every minor inconvinience (me fr) and gets overprotective of him (you know hes very VERY GAY FOR HIM). but obv ryo is on a mission and as he grows up his first task is to pick weaklings and turn them into devils who are interchangeable with human form so that they can live among other humans and slowly kill them because they have been mistreated their whole lives so obv they hate the world and would go on a genocide if given the power (hence name devilman). and guess who ryo gives this power to first?? obv his beloved his achilles to patroculous akira. so akira turns to a hot devil but hes still a senstive lil bitch so he gets the name devilman crybaby but he tries to stop ryo but ryo has a will of iron hes ready to end the world. so akira turns against ryo and ryo begs him to let him kill everyone and he will spare his life only (do you see the goddamn tension). but akira is a goodboy the hero so he fights ryo but ryo is the mighty smexy devil so he kills everyone and despite being very gae he decides to kill akira so that akira dont hinders his mission anymore. so ryo ends the world and kills akira. his mission is completed and hes lying down beside akiras dead limbless body and he then realises there is no point in winning if love doesnt survive and he cries and he cries because hes so helpless and evil won but lost again to the goodness of love and gayness and love and love and gay and

OH MY GOD oh my god oh my god oh my god ryo ends the world and then kills akira and cries over his lifeless body oh my god WHY WOULD U DO THIS TO ME

Iliad book 1 first impressions

Surprisingly easy to read and grasp. Last time I tried to read epic poetry I found it so difficult and dull I had to DNF it. (Although I was reading an original text instead of a translation.)

I knew, obviously that views of women in the ancient world were not exactly progressive, but still I found the Achilles and Agamemnon fighting over what amounted to sex slaves a very unpleasant surprise.

Also Achilles is a fucking crybaby boohoo Agamemnon stole your sex slave fuck you Achilles.

Also, Zeus threatens to beat the shit out of his Wife?????? What the fuckkkkk. I knew he is an adulterous wanker but still, I did not expect this abusiveness.

HI (SHOOTS YOU WITH ASK GAME BEAM) cactus & jasmine 👀 ok bye

Cactus- Something your currently learning about!!

Ah, as of the last fewwwww months, ive been trying to learn how to skateboard!!! It has. Not gone well, mostly because i have a hard time finding the time for it!!

Jasmine- do you have a book or movie you loved but will never watch/read again?

Song of Achilles!! Beautifully written, i cannot recommend it enough, but holy shit if i was not the biggest crybaby the whole time i read it. I dont think i have the strength or the water content in my poor dehydrated body to cry like that again, BUT everyone should read it if they get the chance.

[queerwritersingerdramaqueen]

Ok ok, I'm gonna jump in real quick because oh my goodness this made me so happy.

First, I didn't know I made a song of Achilles reference. I got halfway through and never really got back to it.

Second, when I cast Bill, I meant Bill Hunting; BUT YOUVE GIVEN ME A VISION. TWO VISIONS TO BE EXACT. But I'll talk about that later >:)

Also, I love the way you describe milverton being the bad guy. It makes me laugh so much.

And OH MY GOD YOU LIKE MY ORIGINAL IDEA FOR THE UNDERWOLRD!!! I WAS SO CRYBABY FOR THAT SONG AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE GOOD BUT LOUIS IS ALSO GOOD, YAYYYYY.

And your input for the moneypenny/James conundrum is always valuable to me. It helps so much you have no idea. I really like your explanation and ideas!

I'm so hoping this all comes together and makes a cool ass fic that I could right one day! But it would be long and it would take A LOT of work.

But until then, SEVEN DAYS UNTIL THUNDER SAGA LETS FUCKING GO

I'm bored and I can finally chill out for a little bit.

SO IM GOING TO WRITE A LIST OF MY BRAIN THOUGHTS AND YALL CAN READ AS YOU WISH (FEEL FREE TO ASK ME).

In contrast, hating Pygmalion (Or just Higgins, everyone else is ok)

And oddly enough, hating the implications of the original Pygmalion but finding an inherent romanticism in finding love in your art. (If I have actually interpreted the poem right)

A game called preliminary model assessment and the scarily good voice acting and chilling concept.

I have many a thought but need motivation
