have you cried over patroclus and achilles today? 𝓲ntj 5w4 𝓼he/𝓱er

When Richard Papen said "I am nothing in my soul if not obsessive," I felt that.

[bitchout]

Anyone: Bro you ok?

Me: Yup…..No sometimes I think after Patroclus died Achilles rushed at killing Hector just so he could die sooner and join Patroclus instead of just revenge

*I looked at TSOA posts on Tumblr again and can’t move on with life again*

Here's my take on the zodiac signs of the greek class:

Henry - Scorpio or Capricorn

Francis - Libra

Camilla - Aquarius or Scorpio

'fuck you my child is fine'

your child: the reason the Shakespearean characters James and Oliver are compared to have a main character - sidekick dynamic is because thats what Oliver sees himself as in James' story.

[ladyminyard]

Oliver went to find him and there he was, James sitting on the beach waiting for him, they hold onto each other for hours, after 10 years they were home again. they lived a long happy life together full of poetry books and Shakespeare

[emilybrcnte]

this is the ending actually

[3atlimesbitches]

I finished if we were villains already, and I feel empty as fuck.

[emilybrcnte]

going through it right now

Your poets? Dead. Your history? Secret. Your darlings? Killed. You? Probably not straight

[emilybrcnte]

the medusa urge to objectify men

[valtsv]

also tumblr is the most rewarding place to do literary analysis because in academic papers you get peer recognition and approval but on tumblr you get gay people in the tags telling you they want to kiss you passionately with tongue because you recognize and understand themes and motifs
