#dorcas as achilles

[enbysiriusblack]

rereading the illiad rn and i cannot even explain how much dorcas is like achilles. achilles 2.0 fr.

like just. some quotes i noted:

(Dorcas to Dumbledore) "I have no mind to linger here disgraced, brimming your cup and piling up your plunder."

"What a worthless, burnt-out coward I'd be called if I would submit to you and all your orders, whatever you blurt out. Fling them at others, don't give me commands!"

(Dorcas after Marlene's death) "Achilles kept on grieving for his friend, the memory burning on... he longed for Patroculus' manhood, his gallant heart."

"How long will you eat your heart out here in tears and torment?"

"I'm sick with longing for you! There is no more shattering blow that I could suffer. Not even if I should learn of my own father's death."

"The gods have planted a cruel, relentless fury in your heart! All for a girl!"

"But then- enraged for Patroclus- brilliant Achilles will bring Prince Hector down. And then, from that day on, I'll turn the tide of war."

(Dorcas on the revenge spree)

"And his heart breaks but he courses after the hunter. Hot on his tracks down glen on twisting glen- where can he find him?- gripped by piercing rage."

"Achilles now like inhuman fire raging on through the mountain... like a frenzied god of battle trampling all he killed and the earth ran black with blood."

"Would to god my rage, my fury would drive me now to hack your flesh away and eat you raw."

"You are doomed to die by force, Achilles, cut down by a deathless god and mortal man."

dorlene being a patrochilles variant means state of grace is their song.

“These are the hands of fate

You're my Achilles heel

This is the golden age of something good and right and real”

[themoonandsaturnwrite]

Marauders Hades AU where James is Zagreus and Regulus is Thanatos??? Regulus popping over to help James through a room and being so mean to him as he helps kill the mobs while James is just grateful to see his green glow.

going to go ask my friend to go buy the same gay book together, read, and discuss

wish me luck!

[starinthemeadow]

dorlene being patrochilles variants 😭

[mycalamitouslov3]

Okay, so I have an ideaaa What if i wrote a tsoa au dorlene fic 👀 like THE PARALLELS!! The only thing I'm struggling on tho is who would be who?

Obviously, whoever gets most voted for as Patroclus, the other person will be Achilles.

24 Prompts til Christmas: Day 2

“Secret Santa” (Wolfstar)

“It’s time!” Lily calls out, clapping her hands excitedly.

Pandora and Mary sit on either side of her, whispering excitedly. James sits beside Sirius, Remus, and Peter. Barty, Evan, Dorcas, and Marlene sit across from them, talking amongst themselves with wrapped or bagged gifts in their laps.

“Okay, okay, who do we start with?” Lily asks, looking around at the group of friends. After brief silence and the group exchanging looks, Lily volunteers herself. “Alright, then I’ll just go first.”

Lily holds up a wrapped gift and smiles, leaning over to hand it to Evan. Evan grins back, taking the gift and gently peeling off the wrapping paper to reveal a hardback copy of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. He ruffles her hair. “Lils, you know I’ve been dying to read this!”

“Exactly, Ev, and you��re going to love it. It’s such a good read, honestly.”

Remus clears his throat. “I’ll go next.”

He hands a tiny gift bag to Sirius, but his hands are shaking and he seems… nervous to say the least. Yet, Sirius takes the gift from his boyfriend with a huge smile and wastes no time in reaching in the bag to find out what he got. He pulls out a folded piece of paper and his brows furrow. What?

He unfolds the piece of paper and it reads “look up.” Sirius obeys.

Remus is down on one knee, holding a ring box. “Sirius—“

“Yes!” He exclaims, throwing himself on top of his boyfriend— no, his fiancé.

“I didn’t even get to say my speech yet.” Remus laughs, pulling the other into a kiss.

They're so energetic but also so laid back

Pretty much all or nothing for everything (emotions, activities, relationship etc.)

Really good at drawing

normally types in all lowercase so he doesn't come off as intimating

Evan and pandora probably made fun of the pure blood stereotypes so much

(I've made by point abt this hc a lot but I'mma say it again) : Evan and regulus arguing over the pronouncing of different French words bc Evan is Canadian French and Regulus is European French lol

He's an introvert you can't tell me otherwise

Was almost put into ravenclaw bc he was arguing w the sorting hat and it was like "ok valid points, ur probably a ravenclaw" and then Evan told the hat to go fuck itself and it put him in Slytherin 💀

Definition of a keyboard smash idk how to explain it

Would have loved Pinterest

[mellows-mind]

.｡.:*✧ Marauders era Book AU ideas ✧*:.｡.

So i had this random idea for book inspired Marauders fanfictions/AU's and i want to share them with y'all <3

The Catcher in the Rye but Remus is Holden Caulfield

Carmilla but its Dorlene, Carmilla is Marlene and Laura is Dorcas (or Dorcas is Carmilla and Marlene Laura idc)

The Song of Achilles but once again, make it Dorlene, i would literally commit crimes for a Tsoa inspired Dorlene FF

Pride and Prejudice but make it Jily, y'all dont understand, i'm obsessed with this Idea of Lily as Elizabeth Benneth(was that her name?) And James as Mr.Darcy its so them

The Beauty and the Beast but its Rosekiller and Barty is the Beast and Evan is Belle

The Picture of Dorian Gray but Regulus is Dorian

But dont take that as inspiration to copy whole books! We dont do that here <3

Byeee

[enbysiriusblack]

Marlene 'poor, doomed' Mckinnon

Dorcas 'I'll cut the throats of a dozen, venting my rage on them for your destruction' Meadowes

[divkazkdovikde]

having thoughts about barty crouch jr

like what do you mean he escaped from azkaban thanks to his mother who took his place??

just to be then imperio’d by his father???

he basically spent most of his life in prison. you know, metaphorically speaking… (screaming crying throwing myself against the wall)

also on the other note: the fact that barty and james both had an ivisibility cloak???

not to mention the fact that he was obviously very fucking smart??? (the whole gof being the evidence of that) of course he was a fucking ravenclaw, his brains mate, his fucking brains

always kinda cackling about the way he basically went: yeah i’d like for you to die but mate my boss wants to kill you himself so i refuse to let you die before that so yes i will help you to get through murdeous tournament at all fucking costs alright just take it ask no questions trust me dude i know what i am doing

and then screaming crying throwing up because he survived all his friends. all of them. regulus, evan, dorcas, pandora. (he lost pandora and dorcas first, when they went the different way, after losing reg there was no more hope for him, but losing his evan made him lose his mind, made him the mad man)

(barty finally understood why dorcas went mad, basically all achilles, after marlene died. he finally understood the pain dorcas felt, when evan died in his arms. and you know how it goes, going mad with pain. he finally understood why dorcas laughed, when she took down no small number of death eaters in her madness, before voldemort finally stopped her. he understood it, when he tortured alice and frank, ones of those responsible for evan’s death, and he laughed too, madly, finally tasting the sweetnest of revenge. and at those moments he allowed himself for a moment to miss his former friend, to mourn her. and he let himself taste the bitter memory of her, of them, of who they used to be, of who they never got to be. just for a moment. and it was dorcas who he thought of in his last moments, when he finally understood the relief, she must have felt, as she was finally going to join the love of her life and above. and he died with the same little content smile as he thought of the girl who was once his friend, who went mad over her lovers’ death, whose doom was so similar to his, yet not really. he thought of dorcas and marlene when he finally reunited with evan in the afterlife. and in the afterlife, finally free, finally happy, finally not in pain, he hoped that in their next life, the doom would be fate instead.)

alright this escalated quickly, that was not the plan but eh, anyway, i’ll leave it there.

so yeah. barty crouch jr. want him in my pocket. he’s my bbgirl an i’m starting to go absolutely feral over him. hopefully i’ll be able to stop that train before it crashes, and there will be no faith for me anymore. (hehe delulu is the solulu)(i’m a lost cause already, who am i kidding)

also absolutely convinced he and sirius talked shit in azkaban. they were absolutely the prison buddies.

anyway barty. crouch… junior. (fr mr igor karkaroff had no business to say his name like that in the bloody movie) my mad crazy felon. i love him your honor.

[nettedtangible]

Really need an ancient greece au. Lily, Dorcas and Mary would be gods. Sirius and Regulus would be some helen-of-troy-esque noble beauties that have captured the attention of the gods. Remus would be some mythical half-man beast that's misunderstood with a tragic backstory. James and Marlene would be an achilles style greek heroes. Pandora would be an oracle. Barty and Evan are basically hades. Peter would be a satyr.

DC Comics Characters as Mauraders

So this initially stemmed from my bi yearly harlivy brainrot session where I thought "oh my god, Dorcas and Marlene are so Ivy and Harley." Specifically Dark Knights of Steel Harlivy (I would bury an army for you) (In return you will live here with me/ In return you won't fight in the war. This again? This always) . Want me to explain- gladly. Marlene "dive in head first, my blood runs red and gold, if I go, I will drag you to hell with me" McKinnon, working for The Order and thinking "hey this is kinda sketch, I don't know if we can trust Dumbledore" and Dorcas "every acquaintance is a new connection to better myself, killed by Voldemort personally, I will slither on my stomach if it means I can slice as your Achilles tendon and watch you fall" Meadows being the Anti-Heroes needed to end the Voldemort. They know they must fight in the war, they just need to fight on their own side.

And then I thought- why stop at them. So I present, the Mauraders as DC Comics Characters:

Starting off strong, James and Lily as the Iconic Blue Boy Scout and Pulitzer Prize winning Lois Lane. Do I need to explain? The Kal-el is so James/Mirrorball coded, and if James ever became a supe, Lily Evans would be the first to know.

After this, we have Remus and Sirius as Bruce and Selina Kyle. Remus is so Bruce Wayne- an orphan with a bad experience with animals at a young age. Reserved and quiet but a commanding authority figure that eyes turn to in times of need. Like, Remus is so batman but Brucie- oh that all Remu. Remu is a cassanova that everyone has a crush on, the life of the party that drinks iced tea at Gala's and is always limping or wincing over something. Sirius, well for a second I did switch the two and have Sirius be bruce but no, Sirius is so Selina. Sirius steals diamonds from museums, knowing that he has the money and Remus could buy them if he really wanted because "well where's the fun in that Moony." (Sirius has a huge platonic obsession with Superman and when Remus makes the Justice League he is ELATED. He loves going to HQ and telling embarrassing stories to James. He even let it slip that he calls Remus Moony and now all of the Core Members do it too. He loves hates it.) (Also, Sirius is friends with Marlene in any universe and he loves that it annoys Remus a little bit. When Harley/Marlene finally joins the league, they celebrate by breaking into a new art exhibit)

After this we have Pete as Barry "I could have finished this myself but that wouldn't be as fun" Allen. Pete is kinda just at the meetings as a favor to James and doesn't understand why Batman won't just let him take care of the Joker himself. Peter is nice and always a bit confused as to what is going on. Batman used to scare him, but shortly after learning about Moony, the two started bonding over nerdy shit together.

With the Arrowverse being the origins of my love for D.C (yes, I know it isn't comic accurate, but middleschool me loved it so fuck off), I have to make Mary as Dinah. I don't know much about comic accurate Dinah- a problem I plan on rectifying in the future- but her general "I'm done with this shit" vibe is matches Mary "i'm leaving the wizarding world and not turning back".

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Alice and Frank as Hawkman and Hawkgirl

Evan and Barty as Penguin and Riddler (Gotham's Penguin and Batman 2022's Riddler because yes)

Regulus as Jason "Do I look like Batman? Musty Bitch" Todd

[imagineacoolusername]

dorcas meadowes having to be personally killed by voldemort shows just how powerful (and unhinged after marlene's death) she was. the only people i can think of that had to be killed by him was james and lily cause of the prophecy. so I'm honestly 100% believing that if dorcas had lived (which means if marlene had lived), then dorcas could of killed voldemort/ended the war. but tragic lesbians turning into an achilles/patroclus-esque thing and dorcas got furious and reckless and vengeful and bloodthirsty and careless with her own life.

gonna be honest never thought about that before but you are so right robin. had she had more time she would have single handedly ended the war and looked pretty doing it and properly avenged marlene
