#the song of achilles

LIVE

Some of ya’ll didnt go riding into battle between greece and troy in ur bf’s armor and it shows-

I just finished Song Of Achilles and my eyes burn with the weight of unshed tears. Even though, I, as a greek myth fanatic, knew how the story ended, I still hoped against all hope that they would live. They had a love like no others; Achilles fought a river for Patroclus and Patroclus d!ed for Achille’s honour. Plz read the book so we can cry together….

“What is significant about fan fiction is that it often spins the kind of stories that showrunners wouldn’t think to tell, because fanficcers often come from a different demographic. The discomfort seems to be not that the shows are being reinterpreted by fans, but that they are being reinterpreted by the wrong sorts of fans - women, people of colour, queer kids, horny teenagers, people who are not professional writers, people who actually care about continuity (sorry). The proper way for cultural mythmaking to progress, it is implied, is for privileged men to recreate the works of privileged men from previous generations whilst everyone else listens quietly.”
