The Death of Orpheus (Henri-Léopold Lévy, c. 1870)
If you are a vampire NEVER feed from someone named Richard. 400 fucking years and everyone still calls me Dick Sucker
you when you get those question on like mental health positivity things where it's like, "make a list of people you trust" or "list all the things you like about yourself"
wtf do you actually write
people I trust: my mum? sometimes? maybe?
things i like about myself: my eyes, my...uh teeth???
like that just makes me seem more pathetic than i already am

If we are made in God's image then he must be the devil
As we are a violent, cruel and sorry excuse of flesh and bones that destroys everything bright and beautiful given to us
“your trauma doesn’t define you” no actually it does. it dictates every aspect of my shitty life.

People who have read "the song of Achilles" need to read "the silence of the girls" and Homer's Iliad, as in song of Achilles the story is told from Patroclus' perspective, someone who loved Achilles so he's incredibly biased and mainly focuses on how amazing Achilles was,
when actually he's the reason so many died during the trojan was because of his massive tantrum over Briseis (who would not have been like a close friend to them she would have just been a slave for Achilles to use)
Then again after Patroclus dies he commits horrific acts "in the name of love" but in Homer's Iliad the entire plot is off Achilles anger, it starts with his annoyance of being dishonoured and ends with his rage as his lover is killed because of his original anger.
