“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. [...] When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”  🩸

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” 🌻

Two souls, reunited.

(quotes from Madelline Miller's The Song Of Achilles)

just finished The Song of Achilles audio book thingie. The end chapter is absolutely devastating. Garments/ general look of characters may not at all be accurate to the book setting, apologies. Just trying to capture the vibe :)

Achilles: I always apologize when I'm wrong.

Agamemnon: I don't think I've ever seen you apologize before.

Achilles: I'm never wrong.

whenever someone reads a prequel or a retelling and complains about knowing how it will end since the beginning I'm like. bro. dude. bitch. however you prefer to be referred to.

✨THATS THE FUCKING POINT✨

It's about the tragedy of reading all the ways the characters are unknowingly building towards the very same fate they are so desperately trying to avoid.

ITS ABOUT THE BITTERSWEET JOY OF KNOWING THEIR STORY IS STILL WORTH TELLING.

REGARDLESS OF HOW IT ENDS.

if your story is only good when reading through it the first time? if the reading experience is spoiled by knowing what happens?? (pun fully intended) it's not that well crafted a story imo.

Sometimes it's not about what is going to happen. Sometimes it's about reinterpreting the characters. Sometimes it's about exploring themes through a story we already know.

Sometimes the storytelling is enhanced by knowing how it is going to end.

#which is always enhanced even more by a very unreliable (1st person) narrator imo #great example is #rebecca #daphne du maurier #the first thing we learn is that they are recluses. the first thing the reader finds out is *how it is going to end* #and it makes the tension in the end even higher. r they reclused bc they were caught and are fleeing? #did they manage to escape the accusations?? #similar thing with #wuthering heights #sry its just im listening to a booktuber reading #tsoa #madelline miller #and im not even a diehard fan #but they r complaining abt how the book maybe wouldve hit harder if thsy didnt know the original myth #and im like. NO. THE ENTIRE BOOK HITS HARDER IF U KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN SINCE THE BEGINNING ALDKFJSJF #(i know i am getting unreasonably upset abt this btw) #or ppl complaining abt #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #suzanne collins #OF ALL THE REASONS TO CRITICIZE THE BOOK #KNOWING HOW EVERYTHING WILL END BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN IS NOT A VALID CRITICISM #WHY DID YOU EVEN PICK IT UP THEN. THAT IS LITERALLY THE WHOLE DEAL OF A *PREQUEL* #and yes there is a difference between retellings like #circe #or all the hundreds of #Shakespeare #retellings like #romeo and juliet #where u dont only know how it is going to end but also all the major plot points that will happen. BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS. #like its fine if its not ur thing. BUT THEN DONT PICK IT UP ONLY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LITERAL *PREMISE* OF THE WHOLE THING. OH MY GOD.

Old Thetis explorations, from The Song of Achilles by Madelline Miller 🌊

She's gotta be my favorite character. The sheer power she has. Like some intellectual said I support women's rights but most importantly women's wrongs.

You said that Chiron ruined him. You are a goddess, and cold, and know nothing. You are the one who ruined him. Look at how he will be remembered now. Killing Hector, killing Troilus. For things he did cruelly in his grief.

Her face is like stone itself. It does not move. The days rise and fall.

Perhaps such things pass for virtue among the gods. But how is there glory in taking a life? We die so easily. Would you make him another Pyrrhus? Let the stories of him be something more.

"What more?" she says.

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

“Achilles was looking at me. “Your hair never quite lies flat, here.” He touched my head, just behind my ear. “I don’t think I’ve ever told you how I like it.”

My scalp prickled where his fingers had been. “You haven’t,” I said.

“I should have.” His hand drifted down to the vee at the base of my throat, drew softly across the pulse. “What about this? Have I told you what I think of this, just here?”

“No,” I said.

“This surely then.” His hand moved across the muscles of my chest; my skin warmed beneath it. “Have I told you of this?”

“That you have told me.” My breath caught a little as I spoke.

“And what of this?” His hand lingered over my hips, drew down the line of my thigh. “Have I spoken of it?”

“You have.”

“And this? Surely I would not have forgotten this.” His cat’s smile. “Tell me I did not.”

“You did not.”

“There is this too.” His hand was ceaseless now. “I know I have told you of this.”

I closed my eyes. “Tell me again,” I said.”
