Round 1, bracket 16

Propaganda under the cut, feel free to add more in reblogs or comments.

The Song of Achilles – Achilles, a Demi-God, and banished prince Patroclus, are trained by the centaur Chiron, forming a bond. But it comes to an end when war breaks out after Helen of Sparta’s kidnapping, and the two are called to battle, as Achilles is doomed to die young and become famous or die old and irrelevant. Achilles seeks fame, and glory, even at the cost of his life.

Heaven’s Official Blessing – Crown prince of Heaven, Xie Lian is famous for his beauty, strength, and purity. After being banished from the Heaven’s once more, eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to Godhood a third time, angering many. He is sent to the mortal realm to hunt demons and spirits, where he meets Hua Cheng and falls in love, without fully knowing him.

Soooooo my friend and I were talking about Percy jackson and the gods and Greek mythology.

And of course, the famous century long rivalry between ares and hephaestus.

This got me thinking. And I'm so sorry for where this going but does anyone here think they could've maybe possibly slept together during this time to relieve tension between the two, and it didn't work?

have you ever read anything about patroclus and achilles? very different from bible stories but i see them kind of like lucifer and micheal and they’re my favorite greek mythology gay couple

Shockingly, no! I've never read Song of Achilles or consumed anything related to those two! I do know the story just by osmosis of being in queer book spaces, though! Guys are gay, plot stuff, Patroclus dies, and Achilles is very upset about it. Their story actually reminds me a lot of David and Jonathan in the Bible; I recommend reading up on them if you have an interest in a more similar parallel.

I'm personally not into Greek mythology, so I don't have a big interest in exploring them, but they seem neat! Some stickers (?) of Achilles and Patroclus were included in the box for the Fox&Wit special edition of Angels Before Man, so! They seem like a nice couple I think

#sometimes i feel like the only gay that doesn't care for greek mythology but before i am gay - i am mexican #and i don't care for European mythology much these days #mine #ask #im actually not huge on classical studies in general... sorry to seem deeply un-dark-academic #well i do like The Satyricon (that's roman though)

not to be controversial but i absolutely hate the term achillean. i would rather die than be compared to bitchboy achilles he’s my nemesis idc if hes gay id throw hands with him immediately

#achillean #all u bitches worshipping him clearly havent read the actual iliad and only the uwu gay boy retelling #i hate that man with my entire heart and soul #this is coming from someone who has spent a lot of time reading retellings and the original #like ok i hate most greek heroes #but mostly him #find a better mlm icon #like oscar wilde. does anyone hate oscar wilde??#and if it *has* to be greek find literally anyone else in greek mythology #listen. finding unproblematic queens in history is impossible but like there are so many better options #alexander the great was gay (macedon predated greece ig)#julius caesar was gay (at least a little)#so many chinese emperors were gay #one of the uk kings was gay like. lets get a little diversity here #greeks weren't the only fruity ones #sorry im just an angry classics major. t has given me anger and i will direct it all at achilles now #i want that Twink Obliterated #sapphics can't have all the fun i want a good mlm name that doesnt fill me with primordial rage #mlm #nblm #gay #lgbtq

for my mental health i just need to ACCEPT that asterius/theseus in certain circles of the hades fandom is controversial in terms of asterius being way too good for theseus and them being gay at all. this is a video game, aka theres always going to be Those People. and i should not spend mental energy on fuckin youtube comments. but NO ONE FUCKING UNDERSTANDS THEM LITERALLY NO ONE GETS IT "ZAGREUS CANT BREAK OUR BOND HE DOESNT EVEN UNDERSTAND IT" AND SOME OF THIS FANBASE DOESNT UNDERSTAND IT EITHER. DONT YOU SEE DONT YOU GET IT HOW BOTH OF THEM SEE THE OTHER AS MORE THAN THEIR REPUTATION AND THEIR WORST TRAITS, NO ONE ELSE IS WILLING TO LOOK THAT FAR BUT THEYRE THERE FOR EACH OTHER!!!! THE WAY THESEUS IS THE FIRST PERSON TO TREAT ASTERIUS AS A PERSON AND RESCUES HIM FROM EREBUS, THE WAY ASTERIUS HAS A DEEP RESPECT FOR THESEUS AND DOESNT HATE HIM LIKE ZAG OR IDOLIZE HIM LIKE THE OTHER SHADES, JUST TREATS HIM LIKE A PERSON THAT HE GENUINELY CARES ABT!!!!! ITS VALID IF YOU DONT SHIP THEM I DIDNT SHIP THEM FOR THE LONGEST TIME BUT IF YOURE DISSING IT AS UNBELIEVABLE AND SAYING THESEUS DOESNT EVEN ACTUALLY CARE ABT ASTERIUS IM SORRY ARE WE PLAYING THE SAME GAME????????????????

#june speaks #SOMETIMES I FEEL FEELINGS ABT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS SORRY LMAO #also people talking abt the gross shippers seeing gay shit everywhere. im sorry this is literally greek mythology?? lmfao #hades

yaldabaoth couldn't help but make his whole team overpowered huh ... how are the phantom thieves supposed to survive ?? "oh noo akechi ur so hot haha .. please don't kill me" brilliant strategy pego (entire ask under cut)

[ACTUALLY UR PUTFITS WERE SO ON POINT. I HAVE 2 OUTFIT IDEAS 4 HIFUMI & SHIHO (MINUS MASKS) & 1 mask idea for yuuki but idk what else. i was thinking for the leaders it would def be chaotic but goro has most metaverse experience so hes the leader. ken kinda acts like mona in giving useful tips abt personas etc and hifumi takes on the role of makoto where she gives out different strategies (her, ken, & goro debate over these tips & strategies but usually end up doing them anyway). I have an urge to show u these outfits omg. i can ramble abt these outfits & their personas for forever .. i chose jormungandr for yuuki, skadi for shiho hela for hifumi, and persephone for eiko. ik its not very in the literacy scene for them to all have deities as personas but... goro breaks it with loki anyway, so ..

explainations:: hela & jormungandr are 2/6 of loki's kids in norse mythology, aiding him in the ragnarok/end of the world, and hela is sentenced down to the underworld to be the goddess of that realm since she was born half alive half dead, and she's sentenced to it by odin (basically. kinda the zeus of norse mythology, like the "king" of all of them) because she's the daughter of loki & all this other stuff .. chose her for hifumi because hifumi's mom basically forces her to be a shoji star after hifumi's dad and yeah. jormungandr i chose because hes kinda just a sleepy little guy: in norse mythology he's known as "the World Serpent" and he wraps around the entire ocean with his tail in his mouth kind of in a constant sleep until the ragnarok (all of loki's kids --aside from 2, one being dead & the other being a gift to odin-- including loki himself, are kinda trapped somewhere before the ragnarok happens) and he's not talked about a lot but he aids in so much and he's important (like how yuuki is kind of ignored by the pts, the dialogue options being horrid, despite him aiding in them. also yuuki is the bm's navi in the au & he runs a "revenge site" like how Strega/takaya sakaki, jin shirato, & chidori yoshino do in p3-- strega also does death calling cards , mainly shown in the novels which is p cool.. first ppl to use mental shutdowns despite not beinf called that then either. i love strega sorry. they all agreed to it because shiho wanted to deal with more people like kamoshida, goro wanted to deal with more people like shido, hifumi wanted to deal w more people like her mom, etc).. i chose persephone for eiko because in greek mythology, persephone is (most commonly accepted form of the myth) kidnapped by hades and forced into marriage with him by eating a pomegranate out of the underworld .. point blank, persephone reminds me of eiko being trapped and persephone's shown to overcome it , ( honestly eventually making the underworld & hades her Bitch. she kills the goddess/nymph of mints and creates the mint plant because she got too handsy with hades).. also hifumi and eiko are a little gay for eachother so why not have their personas be, too? anyway. SHIHO!! i chose skadi for her because skadi , in norse mythology , is both jotunn (giant) and a god like how loki is, but she's an accepted form of it because she was given over to the gods as a peace treaty, and thats pretty important to norse mythology i'd say (like how rooftop scene is important to kamoshida arc), and skadi claws up the aesir (council of gods) thru both her marriage (ann? ann. hehe.) and her own sheer will (shiho's recovery and goro's ..... questionable aid.) and skadi just fits. the goddess of mountains and winter? sign me the FUCK UP.

Anyway . this was long I apologise]

https://lithub.com/enduring-epics-emily-wilson-and-madeline-miller-on-breathing-new-life-into-ancient-classics/

What's with Madeline miller and Emily wilson claiming that they are bringing something new in Greek mythology and being applauded for it?

Emily also is a translator and from what i read completely changed the meaning of words and characters like calling Agamemnon a cannibal king. A translator's work isn't making their own story on top of the old one.

It's disrespectful to Homer's work and he gets overshadowed by modern authors that push modern ideologies into classic works that should have stayed neutral.

Why are western writers like this ??? 😖😖😖 I read the interview and I would say some parts of it were okay but I will mention here the ones that gave me secondhand embarrassment:

My god, this can’t be real. The literature class in American school has messed up many brains. Dogface, κύνοψ in Ancient but surviving in Modern as σκυλομούρης - σκυλομούρα is a swear word. More precisely dog-face could mean someone ugly whose face looks like a dog’s, but it could also imply a cruel looking face, a lowlife whose lowlifeness is evident in their face and so on. The struggle of modern translators and academics is unreal - “we can’t use a bad word for a woman - perhaps she meant dog-face as a symbolism of loyalty, of a fierce huntress like Artemis, of an obedient and long lasting friend uwu” - no sweetie she meant: “I hate myself, I am a bitch and as repulsive as one”. Sorry. Meanwhile, swear word for a man; “Clearly, it can’t just be a swear word spoken in anger, Agamemnon must in fact be a cannibal” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yeah, great. Just head on acknowledging that Iliad is not as queer as young American audiences are misled to believe. I love how there is a vibe of apologism in the air because Wilson, as a translator, didn’t have the endless entitlement to go as berserk on the characters as Miller did. I also love the iconic addition that “admittedly there aren’t many queer warriors and athletes in American culture” so she implies they have to keep Patrochilles (🤦‍♀️) at any cost! NEWSFLASH: ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS ARE NOT A PART OF AMERICAN CULTURE!!! Whether gay or straight friends - they are not part of your Marvel and DC culture!!! Oh my god!!!

What’s your business responding to readers’ expectations, Emily? Your business is to translate Homer for English audience. Whether they will like it or not, it’s their business. You are not appointed to “excuse” Homer to anyone or make him palatable to Marvel fans! Jfc

I will say I agree with her that Achilles and Patroclus’ relationship is ambiguous but I hate that she clearly dreads to openly admit that for fear of what American 17 year olds will feel about it. It is another example of how the last years the definition of truth has morphed into what one wants to hear rather than what is factually the case.
