I literally love this.

I couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes.

No joke.

This has the same energy as a writer desperately trying to make their insanely cool but devastatingly off the wall plot point work with the rest of the story

[happypeachsludgeflower]

The true blasphemy of literature is the romanticization of romance. They make it beautiful—all soft words, and elegant lines—and enchanting, with magic sparkling in the margins.

And you can feel it in the depths of your soul, an unexplored ocean of laughter and tears and dreams all melded together.

The yearning of a kiss that brushes against the steady and so so warm pulsing beat of life—against the smooth skin of a lovers neck. The desperation to touch another being and feel that they’re alive, right there next to you—right there, and never leaving.

To love and be loved is a jewel among treasures and all that we each seek—all that we each desire.

It burns and it burns and it burns.

“I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”

“Come home and break my heart, if you must.”

“Occasionally, Fate pulls itself together again and Time is always waiting.”

“And perhaps it is the greatest grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”

“By you, I am forever undone.”

“One word from you shall silence me forever.”

“A heart’s a heavy burden.”

“My sweet nemesis.”

“If you have to go, you know I will go with you.”

and then?

and then.

The book is over.

And you remember that love like that doesn't exist.

Not in the real world.

And all you can do is cry.

normalize reading a book without caring if the spine breaks, folded cover, misspelled annotations and just ruining the book completely as a form of art

— The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

[a-mermaids-heart]

I am once again spiraling about the song of achilles (I mean, I guess I'm never NOT spiraling about it.)

here are the lines stuck in my head today~

“Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only.”

"‘It is time to return Hector's body to his family for burial. You have killed him and taken your vengeance. It is enough.’ ‘It will never be enough,’ he says.”

“Achilles' gaze lifts to meet hers. She is afraid, but does not draw back. ‘I hope that Hector kills you.’ The breath rasps in his throat. ‘Do you think I do not hope the same?’ he asks.”

“His ashes settle among mine, and I feel nothing.”

[artofdyingslowly]

okay but when Madeline Miller said “I would know him in death, at the end of the world” and when she said “when he died, all thing soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him” and when she said “i am made of memories” and when she said “i feel like i could eat the world raw” and when she said “he is half my soul, as the poets say” and when she said “this and this and this” and when-
