#i should actually make this a tag

[dionysism]

okay i was yapping on priv twitter but you guys seem to enjoy my ramblings on here as i seem to be told so let me actually yap to all of you instead

i'm clawing at the walls of my enclosure over symbolism in the iliad like it's so delightful i want to yap about patroclus more but also hector.

going back to patroclus as the canary in the coal mine it's just so. the thing with the iliad is you know how Over it is from the very beginning. the iliad does not really consist of surprises, more things you know are going to happen but theres this small shred of hope that lets you go "well, maybe, just maybe not" and then it still does. every time. so this sense of "it's so over for troy" is actually always present. even when they have the upper hand & are about to burn the greek fleet it's present. but there is never, in the entire epic poem, to me, a stronger sense of dread and "oh my god its actually Really so Fucking Over" than when patroclus' body hits the ground. it's the killer of that last shred of hope homer has let you just barely have so far that maybe juuuust maybe it won't turn out this way. maybe fate can be changed. patroclus' death is the confirmation it cannot. and like yes technically the trojan horse is what Won it in the end & achilles was dead by then too but they would have never gotten that far had achilles not rejoined the battle and dealt so much damage & killed hector. and nothing but the death of patroclus would have made him do so. first, the canary has to die. and not only does this tell you many sons of troy, including hector, and ultimately the city itself, will follow him in death, but so will achilles.

and hector. goddd hector as not only a symbol of troy's only hope but also he is a trojan horse in his own way, by the end of the poem, which is something emily wilson said in her introduction. to quote her, "horse-lord hector is himself a trojan horse: he comes from the greek camp, enters the city, and foreshadows the end." which is like GODDDD you know i'm pulling my hair out. because he too, like patroclus, foreshadows the death of troy by dying himself. and death begets death begets death and it kind of never ends a daughter had to die to get here, an infant son must die before we leave again and on and on it goes. but anyway. you get it

was it casual when i sat in your lap in public? was it casual when i said "recently my heart is crying because you're leaving"? was it casual when we decided how your last name would fit with mine? ("yuki tsunoda-gasly" / "no tsunoda, only gasly" / "yuki gasly?") was it casual when we sang adele's "someone like you" together at your going away party? was it casual when i knew it was you just by touching your ass? was it casual when i knew it was you by smell alone? was it casual when "will you miss me?" / "for 2-3 minutes maybe" / "i'll take that. even if it's just 2-3 minutes, i'll take that"? was it casual when that bus was completely empty and we still sat right next to each other, all the way in the back? was it casual when i picked you up multiple times so you could dunk a basketball? was it casual when i begged to come over to your house multiple time and then you finally let me and we cooked fried rice together? was it casual when we played christmas twister together and i said "your big eggplant is touching my ass"? was it casual when we were pressed up against each other on a scooter going two miles per hour? was it casual when-

It’s IRONIC. god. Nobody understands satire humor these days

First attempt at drawing Gideon and Kremy went surprisingly well maybe I’m destined to become a scaly idk. You guys have no idea how hard it was finding a pose that was easy to draw with Kremy’s alligator mouth. I probably forgot like 400 fey curses I barely remembered gideons flower crown. I’m not drawing that thing but imagine the dulcet tones of the worlds greatest bard (morning Ross) playing in the background.

Guys you can’t blame me I just watched episode 15 and I was possessed and blacked out and woke up staring at this

Ft. Some drunk pixie wives and the only three people that cared about Thaco (I did not look up a reference I just drew a clown)

Anyways pose under cut

It had to be adjusted a bit
