Breaking news: Local 27 year old goes on killing rampage alone after his boyfriend is killed while being a badass.

deleting dating apps and finding love the old-fashioned way (i’m a blond european prince who falls in love with a you, a guy that his (traditional) ruler and head of his family deems unfit for said love. I continue to defy this ruler for you, and create a love story that is so powerful that everyone who meets us can just sense it, usually before even we could, at the beginning. you have dark hair and are seen as an outcast by most other people in our (high) society. you also has a secret/are more than meets the eye.)
Imagine odysseus first meeting zagreus, knowing only that he is an escapee prince trained/raised by achilles. And then he meets zag he's so. Pleasant. Endlessly forgiving. Even keeled. Hardly prone to anger at all. He literally has to ask like hey kid you sure you know achilles? Tall, blonde, great with a spear? Obsessed with his bf? And zags like yeah!!! That's my mentor!!! He told me a lot about you :D
Odysseus is working on a theory that achilles was an evil twin
Random thoughts with
Jacob Frye pt.2
The whole family was watching an action car movie (it's all about family). Everyone sat in the living room together, some on the couch and some on the floor, Jacob sat next to Evie by the armrest of the couch as the movie went on with out any issues, it was then that Jacob, thought of the most random thoughts ever.
Desmond: *eating popcorn*
Jacob: . . . Popcorn is just explosions frozen in time for you to eat.
Desmond: *stops eating his popcorn*
...
Everyone: ...
Evie: *hard sighs* brother... pls...
Altair: *clenched teeth* ... not... today... Frye...
Ezio: is this what I missed when I wasn't at the dinner table last week?
Shaun: lucky you, yes. Not so lucky now though...
Jacob: Did you know, dinosaurs were more closely related to birds... so... since our creed's mascot is an eagle-
Malik: don't you dare Jacob-
Jacob: and if we were all from the prehistoric times-
Desmond: Jacob-
Jacob: *smug grin* Doesn't that make us-
Evie: Jacob I swear to god don't-
Jacob: Dinosaurs Creed! *wheezes*
Edward: HAHA!!! *wheezes* yes! That is exactly what we are!
Altair: no! No, we are not!
Leonardo: ... again, he's technically not wrong.
Shaun: Leonardo, listen we love you, but pls... don't encourage this any further.
Jacob: oh no it's far too late for that Shaun!
Claudia: can't we just watch this movie in peace, please Jacob...
Maria: *rubbing her head in irritation* yes pls, Jacob I rather not get a headache this late in the day.
Jacob: ... Dinosaurs are just pokemon with weaker evolutions.
Achilles: pls! Frye, just zip your mouth for more than five minutes for once in your life!
Jacob: fine! ok! ok!
Edward: Aw, you all are no fun...
Desmond: thank you, Jacob.
5 minutes later. The family seems to go back to relaxing and watching the movie, they are at a car chase scene.
Jacob: ... *smug grin is back* ... if lightning McQueen was real, would he get car insurance... or life insurance?
Edward: *snickers* Haha!
Arno: Oh mon Dieu! Do you ever shut up!
Alexios: well I know what movie we're not watching next. Thanks a lot, Jacob you just ruined cars for me!
Evie: I knew it was only a matter of time.
Achilles: And didn't I tell you to be quiet!? What happened to that!?
Jacob: yes, you specifically said "can you be quiet for five minutes." And I was quiet for exactly five minutes.
Rebecca: well how about literally longer than five minutes?
Jacob: nope! And did you know that the youngest photo of you... is technically the oldest photo of you.
Kassandra: remind me again as to why we have family events? If they're only going to end in disaster...
Haytham:... Is this how all the events usually end up being?
Connor: a good chunk of the time yes...
Haytham: huh, well look at that... I actually feel sorry for you for once son.
Jacob: if flys have their wings removed... are they then called walkers?
Ezio: Mio Dio, Jacob... stop.
Leonardo: here we go again...
Jacob: if a fire truck catches fire, it becomes the very thing it was sworn to destroy.
Desmond: Jacob don't make us have Altair kick your @$$ again.
Jacob: if the earth is the 3rd planet from the sun, doesn't that mean every country is a third world country?
Altair: ... *grabs a pillow from the couch and proceeds to scream all of his rage into it*
Jacob: if you sweat in a sweater... does that make you the sweater?
Shaun: pls someone makes him stop!
Bakey: how do we make him stop!?
Jacob: Lawyers hope you get sued, doctors hope you get sick, a mechanic hope you break down... but only a thief wishes you prosperity.
Evie: *takes the popcorn and gets up* well then I wish you all prosperity. *leaves to her room*
Desmond: hey! Wait that was mine!
Jacob: how come your lips don't touch, when you say the word touch, but touch when you say the word separate.
Alexios: oh like how you're tearing THIS FAMILY APART AGAIN!!!
Edward: *just laughing on the floor*
Jacob: There have likely been times in history where a leader was believed to have been poisoned but probably just had a severe food allergy.
Arno: I- ... that actually explains quite a lot now that I think about it.
Jacob: your future self is spying on you through memories.
Everyone: ... *looks over at Desmond* ...
Desmond: ... can we not, go over this again.
Jacob: you have to pretend to sleep, to fall asleep.
Aya: I'm going to throw him out of this house if he keeps this up.
Jacob: two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do.
Maria: this nightmare will never end will it...
Jacob: Your Teeth are warm.
Altair: . . . that's it! *pause the movie* COME HERE FRYE!
Jacob: NOT TODAY! *Jumps over the couch and runs upstairs to his room*
Altair: *runs after him*
The chase is once again lead to the second floor of the house as the remaining group is left downstairs to hear the echoes of the chase from the living room.
Everyone: ...
Malik: ... well I guess that takes care of that.
Leonardo: and I'm guessing like before, we aren't going to help him correct?
Shaun: yep.
Rebecca: Oh absolutely.
Desmond: pretty much... damn it now I gotta go make more popcorn. *gets up to make more*
Edward: *coughing and wheezing* Haha... ha...
While Desmond went to go do that the sound of the chase echoed from upstairs as it sounds like Jacob almost made it this time... almost. Jacob's screaming can be heard from the upstairs and the sound of something breaking.
Jacob: *upstairs* EVIE HELP! SAVE ME!!!
Evie: *from her room* you made your bed, you sleep in it. *closes her room door*
Jacob: NO EVIE WAIT-
And then the sound of glass shattering is followed as Jacob can be seen falling from the second floor to the front of the house from the living room window as Jacob moans in pain outside.
Desmond: *comes back in with more popcorn* got more popcorn.
Altair: *comes down stairs and sits back on the couch* ... so remind me again on why we are watching a movie about cars again?
Desmond: cause it's all about Family Altair. *eats some popcorn* it's all about family. *puts shades on and continues the movie*

The Epic Adventures of Malik and Leonardo
Episode 3
After Malik and Leonardo had eaten, they wandered around the streets of New York, looking through different stores and places they never really had time to stop by too, they even had some time to stop by the park. Leonardo drew some of the animals there while Malik rested on a bench to take a breather. Soon the sun began to set and soon it was time for them to start walking back when a large man bumped into Leonardo.
Man: Hey watch where you’re going!
Leonardo: O-Oh apologize signor I-I didn’t-
Man: *grabs Leonard by the collar of his shirt* YA I BET YOUR SORRY! WHY DON’T YOU GO-
Malik: HEY! Leave my friend alone you al'abalah (idiot).
Man: and what are you gonna do about it cripple!
Malik: ah yes cripple, like I haven’t heard that one before.
Man: WHAT ARE YOU A SMART@$$?!
Malik: if I’m a smart@$$ does this make you the dumb@$$?
Man: *drops Leonardo*
Leonardo: *lands on the concrete sidewalk* Oof!
Man: YOU WANA GO-
Malik: *grabs man by the collar of his shirt and pulls him down* OK LISTEN HERE YOU qiteat min alqarf IF I SEE YOU HERASING MY FRIEND AGAIN, I SWEAR TO ALLAH I WILL SHIP YOU TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN WITH NOTHING BUT THE TOP HALF OF YOUR BODY AND NOTHING BUT A STRAW TO BREATH THROUGH FOR OXYGEN!!!
Leonardo: O_O
Man: ...
Malik: >=/ ...
Man: ... fine...
Malik: *let’s him go*
Man: *speed walks off*
Malik: tch! @$$hole. *looks over to Leonardo* you ok? *offers a hand*
Leonardo: si, I’m alright, thank you Malik. *grabs his hand and pulls himself up*
Malik: it’s no trouble Leonardo. *grins*
The two continued on their walk back home and threw half of their walk Malik kept that same grin on his face. To Leonardo, this was greatly concerning.
Leonardo: what?
Malik: nothing *still grinning*
Leonardo: ... *chuckles* ok wise guy what is this about?
Malik: if we are still on the topic of mental weaknesses, I think I might have found what yours is.
Leonardo: oh? And what would that be?
Malik: you, my friend, are too soft Da Vinci.
Leonardo: Oh come now, surely I'm not that soft.
Malik: Oh yes you are. You always put other people’s problems before your own. When conflict erupts in the house you are mostly silent about it, depending on the manner, I'll give you that. And when someone breaks something of yours, for example, like how Jacob keeps on breaking his hidden blade as of late. You always say the same old thing with the same old smile with- and I quote “Oh don’t worry about it, I don’t mind fixing it, really.” When I can tell you're getting tired of it.
Leonardo: first of all, when conflict erupts in the house I only stay out of it because a large percentage of the time they’re physical conflicts. I mean just last week when there was a conflict in the house they brought kitchen knives into the mix. Kitchen knives Malik!
Malik: ya that was not a good day for Shaun to have brought home new kitchen supplies that day.
Leonardo: Si. Secondly, I don't mind at all fix your gear. I really don't, I enjoy working on them.
Malik: uh-huh, well either way my point still stands, you are too soft da Vinci.
Leonardo: hm... I have proposal.
Malik: and what do you prose?
Leonardo: What if I helped you with learning to let go and you teach me how to grow a spine in return, deal? *reaches his head out*
Malik: ... *sighs* Alright, deal.
The two shake hands, once they parted a man where black running at full speed came running from behind Malik and ran into him causing Malik to lose his balance and fall on his end, as the guy in black continued off running.
Leonardo: MALIK ARE YOU OK?!
Malik: Grr... I’m fine.
Leonardo: *helps Malik up*
Malik: WATCH IT, NADHIL!!!
The man keeps running down the other end of the street.
Leonardo: hm... I wonder what that was all about?
Malik: I don’t know and I don’t care. Come on, we’re at the secret opening of the house anyway. *shuffles through his pocket for the keys* So let’s just... 0_0💧
Leonardo: ... Malik?
Malik: ...
Leonardo: Is everything all-
Malik: The drive is gone...
Leonardo: O_O ... the wha-
Malik: THE DRIVE IS GONE!!!
Leonardo: CHE COSA?!
Malik: *shuffls threw his pocket aggressively* IT’S NOT HERE!!!
Leonardo: okay! Let’s not panic... uh... maybe you left it at Mike’s cafe?
Malik: impossible, I double checked my pocket to see if it was still in my pocket and last I checked. It was!
Leonardo: Well then maybe you left it-
Malik: Leonardo I double checked my pocket everytime we left or went somewhere just to make sure it was there and as you can see... IT’S NOT!
Leonardo: *jumps a little* Ok, ok, well where else would... it... have...
Malik: ...
They turn in the direction where the man in black was running and watched as he got into a van and on the back of this van there was a bumper sticker on it that said Abstergo industries on it. The van then proceeded to drive away in a flash as the two assassins were left just standing in paleness.
Malik and Leonardo: 😨
The two then turn to face each other.
Malik and Leonardo: TEMPLAAAAARS!!!
Meanwhile inside. The assassins decided to watch some of the T.V shows that Desmond had shown them, this one, in particular, was their favorite cause they made it into a game of their very own.
Game show host: ok, we asked a survey, what items would you bring on a deserted island?
Jacob: A PLANE!
Evie: what is a machete.
Player: *presses button* what is a machete.
*Ding* *Ding*
Jacob: bloody hell!
Game show host: Good work. What is the most common outfit trend, do people prefer to wear.
Jacob: OH! WHAT IS UH... TOP HATS!Aya: what is T-shirt.
Player: What is T-shirt.
*Ding* *Ding*
Game show host: Correct!
Jacob: DAMN IT!
Evie: You can’t even get that right! This is the modern era Jacob not the-
Both Leonardo and Malik rush into the house screaming their heads off as Malik goes running upstairs and Leonardo went to go grab one of the van keys.
Jacob: Bloody hell! what the matter with you two!
Leonardo: TEMPLARS STOLE THE HARD DRIVE!!! AND NOW WE HAVE TO HURRY TO GET IT BACK!!!
Everyone: WAHT!?
Achilles: I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOSE IT!
Leonardo: We didn't! It was stolen!
Kassandra: You need any help!?
Malik: *comes back down stairs with his robotic prosthetic arm on and his gear* no! We'll take care of the matter ourselves. We lost it, we have to return it.
Maria: do be careful!
Leonardo: we will!
The two-run to the Large garage where three vans used to be now there were two vans, Desmond's motorcycle, and Shaun's car.
Malik: Quick Leonardo hand me the Keys!
Leonardo: *Hands Malik the keys and opens the garage door*
Malik: *Unlocking the van* QUICK GET IN!
They both get in the van and buckled their seatbelts and began speeding off in the direction the other vehicle had driven off too. It was now nighttime.
Malik: DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT! WE'RE NEVER GONNA FIND THEM-
Leonardo: MALIK! *points to the right* OVER THERE!
Malik: *looks in the direction*
They both saw the Abstergo van driving alongside a different street close by.
Malik: ... Hold on tight Leonardo! *swerves the car towards the Abstergo vehicle*
Leonardo: *is tightly holding onto the car door and his seat*
The Abstergo van was driven at a normal pass, with the two templars inside the van.
Templar: *talking into an earpiece* We got the drive back.
???: Good, return it to us at once and as soon as possible and are You sure your not being followed?
Templar: I assure you boss, we got in and out as quick as lightning.
Templar 2: I bet they didn't even see us coming- ... uh oh *adjusted the review mirror* Uh, we got company.
Templar: *takes a look*
In the review Mirror was Malik and Leonardo speeding behind them.
Templar: SH*T!
???: What!? What's going!?
Templar: it's nothing to worry about, but uh... we might be a little late. Gotta go.
???: WAIT DON'T YOU DARE HANG UP ON-
The templar diving hung up the call and began speeding down a narrow road. Malik made a swift turn and followed them.
Leonardo: Malik may I suggest that your drive a little less like Altair is when we are in the middle of a car chase!
Malik: Oh please! My driving skills when comes to car chases are nowhere near as dangerous and disoriented as his! *speeds up on the gas*
The assassin van collides with the back end of the Abstergo van.
Templar 2: SH*T THEIR GONNA OFF ROAD US!
Templar: YOU DON'T THINK I SEE THAT!
Malik ramed the van into backside of the van, but the Abstergo van was still holding on.
Malik: HANG ON TIGHT LEONARDO!
Leonardo: YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!
Malik moved the van a bit to the right then increased the speed of the van. Soon both vans were neck and neck.
Malik: *rolls down his window* HEY!
Templar 1 and 2: * quickly turn their gaze to the right*
Malik rammed the van into the other causing the Abstergo van to be pushed completely off the road and onto a dirt ground before tumbling down a 5-foot long nonvertical slop before their van hit the ground laying sideways with a crash. They crashed into a canal area, any inches closer, the Abstergo van would have fallen in.
Templar: *kicks open the remaining van door off* *cough* *cough* DAMN IT!
The templar helped the other one out the sideways van and they both stood there as they watched the assassin van make a screeching stop at the top. Malik and Leonardo got if out of the van and carefully slide down the slope to the two Templars. Leonardo stood next to Malik but Malik stood a few inches forward just in case.
Malik: *holds out his metal arm out like iron-man making a small barely audible click of a gun* Don't move! We got you right where we want you thieves!
Leonardo: Please, all we want is the drive back. We don't want any trouble.
Malik: *rolls his eye*
Templar: *lifts his hands in the air* look, your friend has a point, we don't want any trouble either. Please spear us, surely we can come to a reasonable conclusion.
Malik: yes, so give us the drive back and we might consider spearing your lives!
Templar 2: *is a little shaky*
Templar: very well then. However it seems we have lost it somewhere in the van, and as you can see *gestures to the tipped-over van* it's a little tipped over at the moment. So, mind giving us a hand?
Malik: *glares with distrust at the Templars* ... Leo.
Leonardo: Si?
Templar: (just as I suspected it to be.)
Malik: mind getting the drive from the tipped van please?
Leonardo: huh!?
Malik: la taqaliq , sadaqni. ln yatluquu ealayk alnaar ya lywnardw. (don't worry, trust me. They won't shoot you Leonardo) So Leo, will you please go get it?
Leonardo: ... *nods* Mhm. *speed walks over to the van and searches it*
Templar: *has a small smug grin on his face*
Malik: *still holding up his metal arm in distrust* ... I'm warning you two!
Templar 2: *jumps a bit and is sweating a little*
Templar: easy my friend, we have nothing to hide.
Leonardo: *searching the van* come on... it must be here some- oh! *Hops out the van opening and runs over to Malik holding the still sealed drive in the plastic baggie* I found amico!
Templar: *pulls out the gun* thanks for the help *aims it at Leonardo and clicks the gun* signore Da Vinci.
Leonardo: *gasps And jumps back*
Malik: NO! *quickly rushes over to Leonardo and pushes him out the way*
Templar: *shoots Mailk*
Malik: GA- *Lands on the ground with a thud*
Malik hit the dirt ground and Leonardo landed on his back, still tightly holding the sealed drive in his hand he quickly scurries up and crawls over to Mailk.
Leonardo: MALIK! ARE YOU OK?!
Malik: *heavy grunts* I'm ok... he got my metal arm.
The metal are had a small dent in it and the was bullet stuck in the metal.
Malik: shukraan ribika. (thank you rebecca.)
Templar: *has his gun pointed at Malik* MAT! GRAB THE DRIVE FROM DA VINCI!
MAT: *a little shaken up* I-I-
Templar: Oh calm down! Everyone knows that Leonardo Da Vinci is a pacifist! He won't bite!
Mat: ... o-ok Grey. *walks toward Leonardo* h-hand over the drive!
Leonardo: *is just as shaken up as Mat*
Leonardo holds the drive tightly to his chest. He wasn't going to give it up.
Grey: DO IT! OR I'M PUTTING A BULLET IN THE ASSASSIN'S LEGENDARY RIGHT HAND MAN! And it an't going into his metal arm this time!
Leonardo: (what am I going to do!?)
Malik: don't do it Leonardo! Run! Run back to the Van and back to the others! Leave me! My impact on history is not as important as the one you are going to fill! Run!
Grey: HA! Like he would leave a helps bird to die alone! He's to passive to do such thing! Even if he did, it be more fun for us to torture you back in Abstergo labs! I bet the boss would love to poke around your DNA and memories for the pieces of Eden.
Leonardo: *looks back and forth at Malik and Grey in a panic motion*
It was then at the corner of his eye he saw the canal. The canal was full with dirty city water that drained from the street of all it's last weeks rain water that flooded the streets in a 3 inch puddle.
Leonardo: (I'm most likely going to regret this)
Grey: we can't wait any longer! Mat just grab it from him!
Mat: *jumps a little* y-yes Grey! *is about to snatch the sealed drive away*
Leonardo leaps back a bit, grabbing Malik and then quickly standing up.
Leonardo: hold your breath Malik!
Malik: Leonardo what are yOU- DOING!?
Leonardo with the drive hight in hand he leaped into the Canal, but not before hearing a gun shot go off behind them, then hearing a loud splash as they jumped into the canal waters. The sound of only rushing water filled their ears as they tried to kick and swim to the surface. The two gasped as they breached the surface and were quickly swept away up stream and about to go under an overpass.
Grey: damn it their getting away! *aims his gun is getting ready to shoot*
Mat: GREY STOP! *Grabs Grey's arms and moves them upward*
Grey shot the gun and the bullet hit the concrete overpass as the two in the canal were swept away under it.
Grey: DAMN IT! *pulls his hands away from Mat* THEY GOT AWAY WITH THE DRIVE! DAMN IT MAT WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?
Mat: *moves back, shacking* I... I... I didn't... I didn't want you to accidentally hit Leonardo Da Vinci. Y-Ya w-what if you had hit him instead of Malik? And it was to hit something vital! R-Rember what could happen if that was to happen, history as we know it could be totally erased! A-and h-he can be useful too!
Grey: ... *sighs* your right... I'm sorry I snapped at ya Mat.
Mat: your good brother.
Grey: no... no it's not... *sighs* you really need to learn to take initiative sometimes, ok?
Mat: *nods* yes brother.
Grey: guess we better come up with an excuse to tell Oliver, huh?
???: oh he already knows ragazzi.
Mat and Grey: 0_0💧
Malik and Leonardo struggle to keep their heads above the water as the canal slowly swept the two to the other side, there the water quickly became calm.
Malik: *cough* *cough* Leonardo! Are you ok!?
Leonardo: *gasp* Si! I'm ok!
Malik: where's the drive!?
Leonardo: *pulls his hand out the water with the drive in the plastic baggie* right here Amico!
Malik: HAHA! Excellent work Da Vinci! And quick thinking too.
Leonardo: *light blush of flattery* *chuckles* Thanks amico.
Malik: so where does this stream take us?
Leonardo: oh, that depends. What day is it?
Malik: Tuesday, why?
Leonardo: ...
Malik: Leonardo?
Leonardo: ...
Malik: ... Leo, where is the canal-
Leonardo: the open ocean...
Malik: O_O ... WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN-
The sound of falling water in the distance starts to fill the quite air. The two glanced behind them to see a rushing waterfall coming closer and closer into view.
Malik and Leonardo: ... AAAAAAHHH!!!
Malik grabs Leonardo by the wrist with his metal arm and starts trying to swim in the opposite flow of the currant.
Leonardo: Malik wait! WE HAVE TOO- WATCH OUT!
A large log crashed in to Malik from the side causing him to go dizzy and unable to swim properly. His movements were to weak and began to Let go of Leonardo's wrist.
Leonardo: MALIK! *sees a near by plastic bag*
Leonardo grabs the plastic bag and ties the bag quickly around his wrist and Malik's right organic wrist. Leonardo then prepared himself as he got into possession to face the waterfall that was now a goit away from the two.
Leonardo: HOLD YOUR BREATH AND COVER YOUR FACE MALIK! *does that*
Malik: huh? What- OH NO! *Quickly holds his breath*
They begin descending down out of New York's concrete walls and down into the deep blue ocean. Once the two resurfaced they began to try and keep their heads above the water but struggled with the battling tides.
Leonardo: MALIK! I- I CAN'T-
Malik: HANG IN THERE LEONARDO I'LL- *gets hit with a heavy wave and is now unconscious*
Leonardo: MALIK! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!? PLEASE- ... oh mio Dio... please help us...
A gaint wave swallowed the two whole as Leonardo soon passed out from exhaustion and the cold ocean water.
FINALLY I FINISHED MAKING EPISODE 3! Well I hope you enjoyed it, I know it was super long, but hey. Worth it 😎👌 also stay tuned for the next episode.
Previous - Next (next episode is now available)
See the first episode here
Friendly daily reminder that Achilles’ very first reaction upon seeing Patroclus’ body was to reach for his blade to slit his own throat, and that Patroclus said multiple times over that he did not intend to live after Achilles was gone.
Neither of them hesitated in deciding with themselves that they did not intend to live if the other died.
One of the most obvious arguments in favor of a romantic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is simply that it makes sense from a writers perspective. Want to absolutely destroy your main character? Bring them to their breaking point? Punch your reader in the gut? Kill the love interest.
I mean, come on, the greeks were the inventors of the tragedy for a reason. What's more tragic? The death of cousin/comrade or the death of the person you are irrevocably and maddly in love with?
Petition for a remake of Troy where they just let Achilles be gay
Thought that I was going to have a nice evening and then remembered that when Patroclus died, so did Achilles’s last tie to his humanity.
Someone kill me
I just had a dream. I don't entirely remember what it was about but it started out with me sorta watching from the POV of zagreus from the Hades game. At some point during the dream he had a nightmare or something about being an eyeball and he woke up when Achilles came into his room hearing him have his nightmare, it turned out to be some kind of threat or something.
Anyways I don't remember much about what happened in between but there was two dudes Thomas and Tom both were teenagers. At some point Thomas figures out that three of us were dreaming zagreus apparently wasn't dreaming but the rest of us are and so there was this confusing back and forth between zagreus, Thomas and sort of me where we were trying to figure out what the heck he was saying. there was more stuff that I don't remember and time passed we where doing something else when I figured out what the heck was going on and I wrote how did you know that I was dreaming before signing my name on a piece of paper and suddenly that part of the dream ended.
Then I ended up in some dark void where one of my friends voices was trying to explain to me what the heck just happened but they kept fading in and out and started speaking gibberish at some point before they faded out and I was left alone before I somehow ended up sitting at this desk with a very nice lady who explained to me that I accidentally hijacked the dreams of several different people across dimensions trying to have my own dream and that I wasn't in trouble because it was both my fault and their fault. It's partially my fault because apparently peoples brains here are powerful enough to power several super computers with how much storage space we have and apparently we can hijack other peoples dreams across dimensions and effect realitys temporarily. But the thing is, normally this isn't a problem because our dimension is cut off from others but occasionally we slip through on accident somehow and that it was partially their fault for not redirecting me when I slipped through.
Apparently the reason that Thomas was able to tell that I was sleeping is because he's from a dimension with magic and he's felt someone's presence in his mind before which has some interesting implications.
Apparently when I slipped through into zagreus's dream and he woke up I also dragged Thomas and Tom through into the dream/reality thing and temporarily turned the house of Hades in that dimension into a YMCA style cabin/lodge. Which was really weird to learn but also explained some things. The lady reiterated that it wasn't my fault that that happened and it was simply an accident as I faded away before I woke up.
Little drawings of some of my favourite ships
patrochilles doodle on my roadtrip yesterday :)
Listened to Paris the musical and I LOVE Achilles's depiction in it, he is so unhinged and it's amazing.
Also I did not check if the clothes were period accurate I just went with whatever.
here I tried to combine digital with watercolor
Quick piece of Briseis praying to Apollo during the Trojan War
The Silence of the Girls By Pat Barker
i want to see an adaptation of the iliad that accurately portrays achilles’ grief over the death of patroclus.
i don’t want to see achilles act out in anger and violence as he realizes that patroclus died in his armor.
i don’t want to see achilles remain stoic and emotionless as he carries patroclus’ body back to camp.
show me achilles collapse to the ground when he hears the news. show me achilles sob so loudly that his mother on the bottom of the sea hears him and thinks him dead. show me how another warrior must hold down achilles’ hands so that he does not cut open his own throat to join patroclus in death.
show me achilles carrying back patroclus’ body and sobbing into his chest. show me achilles refusing to leave patroclus’ side to eat or sleep because he can do nothing but cry. show me how achilles looks his mother in the eye and say how he no longer cares if he dies when only a few days prior he said that nothing is worth his life.
i want to see achilles, the most powerful warrior of the greeks, to be completely undone by grief.
I will love you so hard. Achilles will weep.
Maybe Apollo. They have a few similarities. Aphrodite might, too, and she and Apollo are both on the Trojan side.
It looks like Gawain is standing by Hector. Then again, if Hector is de Maris, that would make Lancelot Paris, Guinevere Helen, and Arthur Menelaus, so it makes more sense for Gawain to be an Achaean on Arthur/Menelaus' side.
In that case, Gawain probably has the best Achilles parallel: fighting out of a furious desire for revenge, sometimes at odds with his commander (though Arthur is the opposite of Agamemnon, at least in Morte, since he doesn't want to be fighting the war), and killed due to an injury in a specifically vulnerable place (Gawain's re-wounded head, Achilles' heel). That being said, I think the gods on the Trojan side are a better fit for Gawain than the gods on the Greek side.
If Sir Gawain could time travel and dropped into the Trojan War, which Greek God(s) would start supporting him?
You know what? Fuck you
