“I’m not a stable person, and often I encounter great difficulties in life, which often seems quite unbearable. There’s nothing I can do about that. But I love the world and life itself, and, even when in pain, I still have the pleasure of feeling part of a cosmic movement.”

andrew minyard’s greatest exy hits

- asking wymack to choose a number between 1 and 5 and letting the opposition have only those many goals before he shut them out completely

- the time he remembered that striker’s go to penalty shot and saved an impossible fucking goal by moving before the dude even caught the ball

- the ravens attempted ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY (150) goals (the actual fuck) and he only let in THIRTEEN (13),,,,,, sir

- when he made nicky instigate a fight on purpose so he’d get the ball from the penalty shot and rebound it to neil to make a goal because “the game was getting boring”

- also andrew stopping every goal in that second half and bouncing off rebounds off the opposition’s helmets just to rile them further

- the time he shut out the goal completely when neil asked him to and for the first time ever started talking to the defense and chewed them out and matt was straight up grinning like it was the most fun he’d had in years

- his mad gamble in the final raven match to switch neil’s position from a striker to a backliner?? (fucking genius). also him letting renee play the first half because he knew he could control the game in half 2 if she showed him how they played

and this dude “hates” the game. ok

When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

Patroclus liked the quiet found only in the early morning. It was the hush of a world left at ease. For the brief time he was awake before, seemingly, any other soul, he felt a sense of comfort.

He was happy. He was laughing. He was winning.

I think I can finally post the piece I contributed to the @madeofmemories-zine. A beautiful zine about The song of Achilles. Mine was a collab with the very talented @misplacedstraightjacket whose fic is just sooooo sweet and nice.

EDIT: I just added the link to the fic! Go read it!!!

Achilles didn’t shake the sea floor with his sobs, share a bed with a corpse, and willingly submit himself for death out of grief and rage over Patroclus’s loss just for you bitches to reduce the infamous Rage of Achilles to the Power of Friendship

Odysseus: What is more heroic than to fight for the honor of the most beautiful woman in the world?
