Walking, walking

If you follow/subscribe to me elsewhere online you'll know this already, but this is just a post to let people know that I'm not going to be using Tumblr any more. As far as I can tell, my blog has not been flagged (and so won't disappear), but the recent shenanigans made me realise that this platform has never suited me and there's no real reason for me to stick around. Anyone who knows me on Tumblr only is welcome to add me on any other platform, although if your username on those platforms is very different, I'd appreciate you commenting so that I know who you are. The following are places where I hang out, in descending order of how much I like them: Dreamwidth Instagram Twitter I'm also on Wordpress and Archive of Our Own, but I don't follow other people there and only interact in response to comments to blog posts or fic. See you around elsewhere, hopefully.

So, I am in the process of importing 10,000 or so Tumblr posts into Wordpress...

Yes, the death of young men in battle is a tragedy - I’d lost four brothers, I didn’t need anybody to tell me that. A tragedy worthy of any number of laments - but theirs is not the worst fate. I looked at Andromache, who’d have to live the rest of her amputated life as a slave, and I thought: We need a new song.

I listened and let it soothe me, that ceaseless ebb and flow, the crash of the breaking waves, the grating sigh of its retreat. It was like lying on the chest of somebody who loves you, somebody you know you can trust–though the sea loves nobody and can never be trusted. I was immediately aware of a new desire, to be part of it, to dissolve into it: the sea that feels nothing and can never be hurt.

me, the eldest sibling in a fairy tale: hey idiots, watch me own the hell out of the Devil. I’m gonna be so good at it

[maxknightley]

me, ten days later, draped over my youngest sibling’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes as they saunter out of Hell: I will admit that mistakes were made.

My mind is in a very Briseis place right now, what with the world being what it is at the moment (*gestures hopelessly at US political news*), and ordinarily I'd be hanging out in the tag, reblogging loads of relevant posts. However, the Briseis tag is a nightmare of Song of Achilles and Troy film stuff (to be clear, it's entirely reasonable that people who like those two things and the character of Briseis within them post their content on that tag!), so consider this post my alternative to doing so. (Disliking the Troy film is fairly common, but I seem to be the only person in fandom who doesn't adore TSOA wholeheartedly.)
