#two weeks later. and i finished reading t//soa#yes i am embarrassed that i (expectedly) bawled my eyes out at a YA retelling of Illiad published 10 years ago#kinda wanna play hades asap to lighten the mood...but i know it wouldn't help#speaking of hades the game. im probably the last person to notice this but events of the game fit the narrative in t//soa#but flimsy happy endings conjured by the imaginations of latter day folks hardly matter. they offer little comfort#not to wax poetic but mythical legends are just that. legends. but it all comes down to the same old tales of loss. regrets and love#and there are etches of hurts that felt too real to be soften by anything#anyways. im glad i finally read it. i have had thoughts but none of them mattered now that i finished reading the book#all i wanna say is that. after patroclus died and his spirit lingered on. that last part of the novel reminded me#of a book i once read as a child. of a boy's spirit lingering on earth. visiting memory after memory. fixing his regret so he can move on#that book wasn't gloomy at all but it made me cry. there is a quietness in the wake of inevitable tragedies. that quietness was in that book#and it was there. at the end of t//soa. i guess i wanted to say. i wouldn't read t//soa again but i will remember it for years to come#mae overshares#anyways. it's like 2am. i dont stay up anymore these days. i should go. but my heart felt so full right now i had to say something#even tho i hardly talk on here anymore because posts easily end up in public tags lol
