i finally finished the aeneid and even in the very last lines aeneas is absolutely haunted and hunted by destiny. i found it disturbing
in the iliad the presence of destiny is felt in the way the heroes throw themselves at fighting and death in the name of eternal fame, kleos etc, they are aware of what awaits them and they’re running toward it. achilles comes to troy knowing for certain that he will die, his destiny is inescapable but he is fine with that, he wants eternal glory, he will die for it, he accepts that before he even sets sail for troy. hector knows and accepts that his fate is intertwined with troy’s fate. aeneas is different from these other heroes, he wants glory of course like everyone else does but he never seems to want more than to defend troy. but after troy falls, he’s propelled forward by the will of the gods and nothing more. he wants to die in troy like hector and paris but the gods don’t want him to. they show him his destiny—to found rome—and he doesn’t want it, he tries to fight it. it never works.
he falls in love with dido, he starts to build homes for his people in her kingdom, the gods send messengers and portents to push him toward italy. he reaches acestes’s town and starts to build homes there and the gods send him messengers and portents again. he is always aware of his destiny and still he tries to settle down anyway! he keeps starting to build a home somewhere and has it ripped from him over and over!
when aeneas gets his special armor from aphrodite, there’s this really beautiful moment where aeneas looks upon the special shield created for him by the gods and sees upon it intricately carved patterns of stories of his future, the roman empire and all the heroes and achievements of people he will never know but has sacrificed everything for against his will. and he takes the armor and with it the “fate and fame of his descendants” even though he doesn’t know what that is. it’s sad reading on about the battle that he fights and loses so many faithful friends to later, fighting for rome and not knowing what rome is, a pawn of the gods until the very end of the poem

ok so on one end i’m actually really sad you’re not going to write eren fics for a while because you’re my favourite eren’s writer here on tumblr, but on the other end knowing you’re going to write for JJK makes me absolutely ecstatic and i can’t wait to see what youre gonna write now!
I'm your favorite eren writer? omg nonnie 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much for saying that 😭😭😭
well I mean I still want to finish Never Let Me Go so I'm not saying goodbye to the AOT fandom just yet. It's just that I haven't found the energy to write for AOT again these days 😭
I've been obsessing over JJK for months now and I've been wanting to participate in the fandom for a while (but I was too busy dealing with IRL stuff since I just gave birth and all), and now that I have a little bit time to myself, I wanna try to write something fun hehe

Lmao why is that anon so mad? Chris has always been an good actor but when you compare him to other great actors you can see the difference. It’s also not bad to acknowledge when someone’s acting was not the best especially for movies like these where in all honesty needs a certain type of actor in my opinion…..
I think Chris is genuinely a good actor but he chooses the dumbest movies with the worst scripts. And no matter how good you are, if the script is weak then it’s bad. And I KNOW this is an unpopular opinion but that’s why Lloyd came across cringe (in my opinion) The script was weak, the lines were AWFUL (“my sexy Tamil friend” and with that pronunciation of Tamil 💀)and he tried his best but like… yeah
