scrapped painting,, thought i might as well post it

i want to put my thoughts behind this: this was supposed to be a piece for pride month, titled "you were loved". the sky is the color of the aroace flag (just upside down)!

basically, i wanted to show an aroace person — an old aroace person, to be precise. being aroace myself, i am always told that i will forever be lonely and miserable if i don't get a partner. so showing grace, who is aroace to me, as old and happy and fulfilled and oh so loved by his best friend, was really important to me <3

#ouchie ouchie ouchie old grace always gets my feels #beautiful #literally so beautiful bro

can you explain how Teucer and Eurysaces are similar?? You talked about it in another person's asks and now I'm curious lol

Hi they're pretty direct mirrors of each other simply because of their similar birth circumstances 🩷

Teucer was born to Telamon and Hesione, Hesione was a Trojan war prize awarded to Telamon. Teucer often faces discrimination for his bastard + trojan blood

Eurysaces is born to Ajax and Tecmessa, who was also a Trojan war prize. This puts Eurysaces in an almost identical situation as Teucer, and I'm sure this mirror is very intentional!

I feel like we as a society don't talk about Eurysaces enough. Like people always talk about characters like Telemachus and Hermione who grew up during the war, which sucks don't get me wrong, but Eurysaces was like 10 AT MOST growing up in a literal war camp. And then his dad kills himself too. Someone please take this boy, wrap him up in a blanket, and give him candy

Baby you've come to the right house you're safe here. Yes I absolutely agree I don't know who u r my beautiful angel but it is so rare to find people who give a fuck about eurysaces I love you.

I think another fun thing about Eurysaces is how he's a direct mirror of Teucer but Ajax isn't a mirror of Telamon and it shows!! It's very cruel of fate to have Ajax die because in a twisted way it feels like they're telling us that even if you have good intentions, pain like the discrimination teucer faced WILL be perpetuated to the next generation whether you like it or not. I feel like that fits well too cause one takeaway from the Iliad I've always loved is how much you feel like a bystander in the poem to everything horrible that's happening.

But yes GROWING UP in a war camp, with a mother who tells you about how she was attacked by men like your father, and having to watch your father go off to cause more suffering then come "home" to your war tent and suddenly he's kind? Very conflicting childhood. Definitely detrimental to his development. Going back and seeing Teucer, who is SO much like him, get turned away for who he is and for not having Ajax with him? Even worse. Eurysaces is an INCREDIBLY complex case of childhood trauma that we really overlook.

"I hate Achilles!" "I hate Hector!" "I hate Odysseus!" ALL OF THEM suck. All of them suck. You hate what they did but that shouldn't blind you enough to hate them entirely as a character because they are such interesting and well written characters. I love them all. Never catch me saying I hate a bitch. I will point out their faults but I LOVE their faults. I will only ever hate a faultless bitch.

Anyway fuck Thersites

that-faerie-in-the-corner

if i hate on a classics character i probably dont actually hate them because they likely didnt do anything morally worse than characters i do like but they were really annoying one time so now i bully them

except thysetes and atreus. FUCK thysetes and atreus genuinely they can die

the current administration would totally fall for the Trojan horse. they'd take promo pictures of it on the white house lawn and the president would be on TV talking about how it's made of a big beautiful American lumber or some shit.
