4. Brutus sends a letter to Pandrasus.

So as their chosen leader Brutus summoned the Trojans and fortified Assaracus’s towns. He took over the woods and hills, along with Assaracus and the multitude of men and women who continued to join them.

Then Brutus directed a letter to the king, in these words:

“To Pandrasus king of the Greeks, from Brutus leader of the survivors of Troy, greetings. It was a shame that a people arisen from the famed kin of Dardanus should be treated otherwise in your kingdom than your nobles’ peace of mind required; we have withdrawn, therefore, to the secret places of the woods.* For we would rather live like wild beasts, sustaining ourselves on game and forest plants in freedom, than be cheered any longer by common comforts while beneath the yoke of your servitude. If this offends your royal honour, we should not be blamed but pardoned, since it is the fault of every captive to wish to return to his former state. May you be moved with pity toward this people, therefore, to return the freedom which you stole from them, and permit them to dwell freely in the forest glades they have now occupied in order to flee their servitude. If not, then at least allow them safe passage to join the peoples of other lands.”

This passage was interesting because the letter was written in quite a different style from everything up to now. I wonder if it was drawn from or patterned on some other work? Anyway sarcasm is hard enough in English so the asterisked sentence especially had me tearing out my hair, I just finally cracked it today. (My husband couldn't get it and neither could my brother-in-law so I don't think it was just me being dumb?)

I used the first person plural to describe the Trojans in the letter for clarity. Geoffrey/Brutus has it in the third person singular with gens as the subject.

I keep thinking about this discussion I was watching the other day where two people were talking about tattoos and how people say younger people shouldn't be allowed to get tattoos because "they might regret them later."

One of the people spoke up and said something along the lines of that if she got a tattoo when they were younger and regretted it later, they didn't think that meant they shouldn't have been allowed to get the tattoo.

Because her younger self deserved the right to get that tattoo and enjoy it, even if they didn't like it 100 evolutions of character later. Their younger self still deserved the right to make that choice, just like her [insert age] self deserves the right to get tattoos their 90 year old self would despise. It would be a disrespect to claim otherwise.

Your younger self deserved the right to your body just as much as you do now, even if you don't like or agree with what they did with it.

What a beautiful mentality that applies to so many things.

Hi I love your work! I was wondering who is your icon of?

emily carey as alicent hightower in house of the dragon!!

I love you all, but you have the wrong parallel. We love Rhaenyra asking Alicent to fly across the narrow sea and eat only cake, but it's Rhaenyra and this Alicent that mirror each other. It's the smiles, and that halting breath.

for as much as I love and adore stories where the power of hope and friendship is a blinding wonderful light, full of happiness and ease and laughter, something hits different about the way hope, in ffxiv, looks like this

covered in blood and dirt and limping forward. It’s probably been said multiple times before but isn’t it a reassuring image to know that hope drags itself through the mud just as much as you do and keeps fighting when it can hardly stand. and amidst deepest despair, light everlasting
