A collection of ancient ceramic paintings depicting Achilles in a blanket being miserable and pathetic.

That's the post. Sorry that some of these are mircowave quality.

I can't really pick a favorite, I like them all equally. They're just so silly looking.

Hey, just binged all of Ilium in the span of one day and noticed the last update was two years ago (character transmedia too) to my ongoing despair and queer agony. I’m guessing that’s because lockdown ended, but is there any chance of a revival/continuation happening?

Hi hello! Zoë (writer/creator) here! Basically what happened was I (and about half of the cast and crew) graduated college in May of 2021 and the project kind of fell by the wayside. We filmed a few episodes past what we released, and I really want to make the rest of the show.

The difficulty is that people have jobs and/or grad school now, and we live all over the place, so it’s going to be even harder to get everything filmed than it was when we were mostly college students finishing our degrees online.

Basically, I/we do plan to finish Ilium. It might take a while and will likely look different than we planned, but that’s okay! Knowing that people still care is really encouraging. Please feel free to share what currently exists of the show with your friends and to follow us here and on our other social media for updates.

Anyway, sorry for going silent for two years. Now you know what happened.

More support for the show means more show is more likely!

A Message from the Ilium Team!

We’ve been loving all the memes, and hopefully y’all will keep them coming!

Also, if you make any gifs or fan art or anything, or if you write a review or recommendation, feel free to tag us in those too! 

However, if we ever get any fanfic, we will not be consuming or sharing that because even though we’re a tiny indie show, reading fanfic of your own work can lead to legal and ethical nightmares.

We’re almost a third of the way through the show now, and the response has been lovely so far. If you’ve been enjoying it, share it with your friends! Send us an ask! 

Also, we’ll be taking a short break after the next two episodes, so if you’re behind, next week would be a fantastic time to catch up. 

Thank you all for watching Ilium, and we can’t wait to share the rest of the story with you!

Yes there’s a new Ilium episode and it’s v good. The memes will come at some point. I’ve just exhausted my meme vocabulary and need to beef up my memery/take episodes in chunks.

But I’m still very much here shipping the good ships. (aka not Helen/Paris)
