"He is half of my soul, as the poets say"

Been a while since I posted but here's a book cover I made for one of my favorite books, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller for an illustration course I did.

Greece legalized same sex marriage today, and someone under one of the announcement posts commented, “Congrats to Achilles and Patroclus. This is what they would have wanted” and now I’m on the floor.

HEY FELLOW BRONIES (yes i used that SHUT UP!!) i got A BOOK!! :D idk if that ask mentioning books with a t-boy main character sent in by me was answered yet,,, BUT!! i got one out of the two i wanted!! ^_^ the other one is called The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, also by Andrew Joseph White!! :D

a warning for anyone who wants to buy it, though!; the main character is also running from the cult that raised him!!

i read this a bit ago and it was really powerful. that’s the best word i have for it. does contain heavy religious themes and cult themes

there’s a pdf of it online for free if you can’t get it anywhere else btw

"Whatever we did—or, more crucially, did not do—it seemed that so long as we did it together, our individual sins might be abated. There is no comfort like complicity."

Had to make a presentation for my creative writing class and I liked these slides enough to post them ehe :)

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell;

I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth.

In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless heavy dusk.

Their hands meet and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

We were like gods at the dawning of the world.

Our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.

Our joy was so sharp we did not dare to breathe.”

Every book I read in 2023: Children Of Fallen Gods by Carissa Broadbent

"You were the one who wanted to save the world,” he said, quietly. “I just wanted to save you."

one thing about me is if i love something i’m going to collect as much of it that i possibly can. my favorite book of all time is A Separate Peace my John Knowles and i wanted to share my current collection of different covers/editions + related things.

I'M SORRY the quality kinda looks like dogwater in pic 1 (have no idea what happened) 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

But ahh!! Here are some doodles!! I was thinking of doing a few for Bullet Train as well~ :")) YEAH I was pleasantly surprised by how good the story was. Is the movie accurate to the novel or completely different? haha

Oh!! And also!! There's a third book in the series and it's called The Mantis. It's pretty interesting as well!! You should definitely read it if you have time!! It's quite different from BT and TA since it's centered on 1 character: Kabuto (who is honestly very wholesome despite his career choice lolol)

Thank you for reading!! I hope you liked the posttt :DD Have a good day or night!!
