me when I show up to the hating Paris competition but HECTOR (HIS OWN BROTHER) IS ALREADY THERE 😭😭

it’s the way Athena canonically mogs Ares 💀💀

the way the gods are lowkey just D1 rage-baiters, especially Zeus and Hera like omg 😭😭 get a divorce or something holy moly

the day I rewrite a part of Greek mythos, it’s over for you guys

they call performative the way I defend all these women /j

the way Greek mythology canon is mainly constructed by male writers, I can’t help but think of all the ways Helen is used as a device in the narrative; she reminds me of the way Stockholm syndrome isn’t even a real thing — Helen *as a person* and as a women is lost to us because she was written by men for men like ugh 😔😔

I actually don’t care, I’m a hardcore Hera defender til the day I die BECAUSE ZEUS IS AN ABUSIVE CHEATING FUCK AND IF HE’S ALLOWED TO HAVE FLAWS, SO CAN SHE.

should she be taking out her anger on the women her husband continues to bed? no. BUT HER ACTIONS ARE CREATED FOR MALE ENTERTAINMENT BY MALE ENTERTAINERS AT THE EXPENSE OF FEMALE VESSELS SO I DON’T GAF 🤬🤬🤬

reading for a class, really love the informative introductions so far, especially because my only prior experience with Homer’s work is Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey (which I will be reading again for the same class, yippee!!; major bummer I won’t be reading her Iliad translation for this class though 😔 that’ll be on my own time)

cannot describe how absolutely thrilling it is to do a Raven Boys reread through this graphic novel!!!

I wish every book had a graphic novel adaptation because it makes a reread so much more profound and interesting when all I am able to consume is the dialogue between the characters without the prose (and with an artist’s interpretation of events at that!!!)

I’m actually fucking obsessed, I don’t care

Sas Milledge, the artist that you are, UGH!!!!

delectable reread through the eyes of an artist, trust that I’m staring at every panel and ooh-ing and aah-ing

im gonna need everyone to ignore how crazy i spammed my “want to read” (I cleaned up my screenshots 🧍)

heavily distracted by the way Macbeth’s bangs shadow over his face every time he shows up on the page (it looks so good, I want to chop my hair like his 😞)

just found out why Angelica says “screw your courage to the sticking place” in Hamilton and it was from reading this line-by-line manga adaptation of Macbeth, are you joking 😭😭

HEY. SO. WHAT THE FUCK?????? /POS
