one thing about me is that i’m an orestes-electra-pylades defender. if you don’t hear them being defended anymore that means i am deceased
#something something about them being linked forever
#none of them being redeemable all of them being innocent
#about this sister who was refused love all her life and who kept it all inside her to give it to her little brother
#who loves him so much that the lines blur and we don't know if she's sister ; mother ; father ; or lover even
#because who could love him more than she does ?
#about this brother who grew up with nothing but rage
#rage towards this man he was given to ; that man ready to sell him into slavery
#rage towards his mother who got rid of him
#rage even towards this father that he has to kill for despite never having known him
#rage towards the gods who set up his own curse and let him suffer for a good long while
#and apollo did not tell him that no holy ritual will ever truly wash all the blood from his hands
#but despite all this rage has chosen to love
#to love this sister that he only knew the name of
#and who welcomed him with more warmth than three suns combined
#who had more fight in her than him and who urged him to do them justice
#that's why he did not really hesitate when he killed clytemnestra
#because he had seen his sister - a princess - reduced to rags and is skin on bone
#and about this friend who became the definition of devotion
#who voluntarily chose to follow his friend whom he knew was damned
#chose to share the burden of killing with him
#and who followed him on every corner of the earth they went to
#and i know those three took such gentle care of each other
#i know that electra and pylades both refused to go to sleep while the other tends to orestes having his fits of delirium caused by erinyes
#yes their hands are bloody
#but it's the same blood that's running through their three hearts attached by a red string
#and the red of blood looks a lot like the red of love
