#this is antigone's brothers

[thatfrenchacademic]

Characters that are dead but are *everywhere*. They haunt the narrative to the point of possessing it. Characters that move the plot forward like they are physically pushing it. That might as well whisper in the ears of the living. That people hesitate to mention because they their constant presence is so strong is becomes taboo. That are the anchor of every thread that got tangled together. They died and from that moment the plot marches on, and on, and on, and toward its inexorable end.

think what you want but I don't think Regulus tried to destroy the horcrux for morals or anything

I think he did it for Sirius

Do you think brothers are an interesting motif in both fiction and history?

I’ve watched all 15 seasons of supernatural, I have a sideblog that only contains posts about cain and abel, and one of my favorite epics is statius’ thebaid

i wholeheartedly believe familial dynamics have the potential to overshadow any romantic or platonic relationships fr like yes merlin and arthur have this great destiny together and gwen and arthur have a love for the ages for sure but imagine the sting of betrayal arthur felt when morgana turned evil. she's a sorceress. she was a comforting presence when uther's hand grew too heavy. she's a traitor. she knows his favorite places to hide in the castle. she hates him. she was one of the few people who's ever seen him cry. she's his sister. she's his sister.

I see a lot of people talk about Rudyard being autistic, which is totally VALID, but…I don't see nearly enough people talk about how much of a representation win Antigone is for weird, slightly off putting, lonely & isolated autistic women who have no idea how to connect with other people.

She is one of the only fictional characters I have ever felt legitimately seen and represented by in media as an autistic woman 😭 like holy shit that is literally me
