DO NOT BE AFRAID

this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.

I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!

idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

There needs to be a scientific study done on how Rockstar Games' Arthur Morgan is able to provoke the most earth shattering emotions I didn't even know I had in me

I wonder how the clones handled the transition from squeaky-clean sterile Kamino that probably offered them normal toilets to the filthy plumbing-less frontlines. Am I seriously at the point where I'm contemplating how my blorbos would shit on the job? APPARENTLY.

Anyway. Whenever my dad tells me of his outdoor days in the People's Army he also tells me of the Donnerbalken ("thunder bar") which was just a beam of wood over a big hole where soldiers would sit right next to each other for their business and. I can just picture it so well. Domino squad would do this. I don't care that modern armies cart around neat little toilet shacks or whatever. I want to believe that the clones arrange their thunder bars in an open rectangle like they're Roman foricae and have deep philosophical discussions while they sit down. Please

After this episode, I genuinely need to see that stoic neglect dad Ryuken losing his absolute shit on the fact that his son is starting to possess the same fucking eye color as his wife's murderer

i hate this stupid ass fandom cause i’ll go ‘dean’s behavior towards sam is often abusive’ and people will get annoyed and talk abt how people are so sensitive and block me like oh my god i’m not saying it as a criticism i’m not even like insulting dean and i’m certainly not saying it in a way that means u shouldn’t like him i adore dean it’s just true………….

Understandably So no one mentions charles when talking about the Logan movie and again Understandably So This Aint Bout Him however i do confess that as someone who had never seen Logan until like. a month ago when i was binging all the movies and without knowing a single thing about it aside from laura i cant lie i was in fact jumpscared by him being there. especially for at least like 3/4s of the movie
