I hate it when I talk wistfully about the ancient world and then people are like “you wouldn’t survive back then” yeah obviously I would die immediately but do you think achilles would be able to survive in the modern world if he had to send one polite email? no

AITA for refusing to fight cause my boss took my girl?

i (24M) won a girl off the trojans and she was my war prize. my boss (43M) took her and i refused to fight until he gave her back. all my friends are dying in the battle but im still standing my ground. my boyfriend is kind of mad at me but i want my war prize back. AITA?

feel free to elaborate on what shade in tags if you want because tumblr only gives 12 slots get me out of here

#red #probably because of the twin flames fanfic #y’know fire #fire reminds me of red

My friend: All the characters you could like, all the wonderful options out there, and you choose this mess of a man who commits countless atrocities and would likely kill you on sight?

Me: But he was doomed by the narrative and his boyfriend is sweet—

Took a break from college apps to cry over dead gay Greeks Listened to Interlude I from Aristos Musical on repeat ☀️

Sometimes I forget that Achilles was just a kid when the war started... just a kid

heyyy long time no see.

i feel like being a bit more transparent about this project because... well people keep visiting this blog so

my real fans will remember this poll i made back in October and. WELL! remember how I said I was just 'planning'?

not anymore

well. sort of

ive detailedly outlined up until chapter 10 because i found myself stuck and decided, "maybe if I start writing now, I'll get ideas and I wont be stuck anymore when I go back to outlining"

and so far my theory has been proven true because I keep making shit up *as I write* that I did not plan so I'm like. maybe I don't really need to plan up until the end just now... I'll just... figure things out as I go

that screenshot up there? that's chapter 2. chapter 1 is done and has gone through a very brief second draft which is literally just me spraying it with some grammarly corrections. some. because this is a robot and it's tailored towards emailing so its a bit stupid when it comes to creative writing.

i will probably get a beta for this. most likely. was browsing @/needabeta and found some mythos folks in there which is great news!! then the beta reader edits will be the third drafts. at least that's how I want to do this dance

when will it be posted? uhhhh. when it's finished. sorry. I've come to realize that posting stuff as I'm writing makes me really stressed bc of the pressure that naturally comes with it so I think I'll preserve my sanity if I decide to only start posting after it's fully done. plus some beta readers prefer not to work with WIPs, so there's that too.

now here's a whole bunch of treats! of all flavors. angst, achilles being a jerk, discreet fluff, casual stuff. and a cat.

this fic is actually very mundane. i read a fic like that and had an amazing time. makes the characters feel more like people, at least to me.

also, for the record:

nearly the entire iliad crew is present

nearly the entire hades game crew is present

several cameos from other myths (hyacinthus, icarus, etc)

some argonauts will show up too most likely

okay thats my update for today. see you in... however long

#you don’t #you stare at the blank space and then give up #it’s a great philosophy

Sorry about the communication issues, sir, we had a prob– yes, sir, it was the slugs, the psychic slugs– well, you see, sir, the problem is that the psychic slugs have unionized.

The Iliad is goofy

Agamemnon and Achilles were having beef the entire war, but when you sit down and think about it a 40 SOMETHING YEAR OLD MAN WAS HAVING BEEF WITH A TEENAGER. A TEENAGER.

everyone says that patroclus would have dark, self-deprecating humor. i have to humbly disagree. because one look at the fact that he cracked a joke about a dying trojan being a great diver in the middle of battle and the fact that he used his final breaths to diss hector - i have a very clear vision of what his humor is and it's definitely not self-deprecation

Hello friends!

Something i struggle with whenever i deal w mythos stuff is figuring out the timeline, since its... A mess

I'm writing a longfic full of characters and i needed some help w this

What are other stories that happen close to/during the events of the Iliad/Odyssey?

Im asking bc i wanna stick to characters close to that time period instead of just. Completely random ones

#there are other books in the epic cycle like the cypria for example #but those have a lot of the same characters so i’m assuming you don’t want that #i might be wrong about this but i THINK that the myths revolving around Oedipus happen somewhat close to the start of the trojan war #so like antigone #seven against thebes #oedipus rex #haha that sounds like a dinosaur #then there’s the argonauts #castor and pollux/polydeuces were helen’s brothers #telamon and peleus were the fathers of ajax the greater and achilles respectively #orpheus was also an argonaut and i think that happened before he was married so the myth of orpheus and eurydice was a little closer #OH I COMPLETELY FORGOT #there’s also the trojan war heroes coming home around the odyssey’s time #i don’t know how many of those stories survived but notably there’s agamemnon #electra #the oresteia #you might have to do some digging for the rest of them #idk i did my best so i hope this is of some use

Thinking of the Myrmidons at camp in Troy, making dumb jokes about Achilles but they're all Chuck Norris-style:

"Achilles sleeps with a pillow under his spear"

"Death once had a near-Achilles experience"

"When Achilles chops onions, the onions cry"

"A snake once bit Achilles. After five days of excruciating pain, the snake died"

"Achilles can kill two stones with one bird"

"Achilles doesn’t need to shave. His beard is scared to grow"
