not to be true crime posting on main but i think i'm falling down the wm3 rabbit hole again

#xenia.txt #when i tell you this case keeps me up at night to this day #not even the murders themselves as much as the general public's reception to and opinions on the case 3 decades later like #i get why it;s always been so divisive especially after the pl docus came out (lots of opinions on those btw none of them are good #from the bottom of my heart fuck you joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky)#but it's truly baffling how no one is willing to do the research on what is arguably THE most well documented true crime case in recent #history like. everything that's ever been released to the general public is available online and i mean everything #you can find all the court files trial transcripts depositions interogation tapes aerial photos you name it it's out there for anyone with #internet connection to access at any and all hours of the day #and yet people are still foaming at the mouth fighting on reddit abt their innocence based off nothing but a couple of movies like #bffr with me right now!! almost every point the innocenters make can be easily debunked by scrolling through callahan for 15 minutes #'but they've been pushing for dna testing since their release so they can't be guilty' baby the case is closed!#it's been closed the second they took the plea. they can be striking under that courthouse and it still won't change a thing and they knowi #that's why they're pushing for it in the first place but that's just my opinion #^ and i say they but it's really only echols which makes a lot of sense to me personally #and if you want to talk abt dna testing let's talk abt the one that was done in 2011 and how the defense hurried to propose the plea as soo #as they got the results! let's talk abt those cause no one's ever seen them and i would very much like to #braga share the results the people want to know!!#makes me wonder which pieces of evidence they even submitted for that 2011 testing because if i'm remembering correctly #there was one that would've closed this case instantly and maybe that's why the results were never disclosed and the plea was rushed #but that's also just my opinion #and it's also interesting how the majority of people who have in fact deep dived into this case #(and i'm not talking abt big true crime youtubers as i'm very sceptical abt their research abilities)#all collectively lean towards guilty. much to think about #i was hoping someone would make another ~actually~ unbiased documentary for the 30th anniversary and go over all the case files #but i don't think that's even realistic at this point seeing as everyone and their mother has some sort of an opinion on this case #hbo deserves another lawsuit for this. they should've never won the first one in the first place #true crime tw

Been busy enough to justify a full round up for this WIP Wednesday. The TL;DR being that I'm back to being fully lace brained.

Blanket 10 is NEARLY finished. I've started attaching the last row and just need to finish out this row and then do a border (and give him a good wash, I've owned some of this yarn for years and it smells a little dusty). The nights are starting to get really cold here so I'll be happy to have it done, I just gotta force myself to work on it.

Doily 14 (Yarn | Pattern) needs to go on a longer needle but other than that is very fun and cute. I've decided to put it down for a bit to work on the next two projects but I expect when they get boring I'll go back to this. This pattern is surprisingly simple for a Neibling as long as you're prepared for the long pattern rows. Absolutely going to have to break out the washi tape to mark off my rows for the second chart, but the first one has been very easy lace knitting.

Unnamed project aka me fucking around to see if I can freehand this sweater design. I had started with a two row lace ("Honeycomb lace" from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker) but honestly didn't find it fun to knit. So I transitioned to a favourite of mine (ssk, k2tog, yo twice). It's going a lot faster now tho it looks a little weird. I'm going to knit to the underarm and if it fits, it stays. If it's too small I'll rip all the way back and redo the shaping in this lace pattern instead with longer shoulder saddles. It's unfortunate that I didn't like knitting the honeycomb lace, I really like how it looks, I'll have to try swatching it in different yarns to see if the problem is just that this yarn has zero stretch (100% cotton).

I have decided I will put short sleeves on this tho. I had planned to just add ribbing for the arms but I saw a drop shoulder vest in a similar style and did Not like it, so this just saves me from having to rip back. I also think I'm going to have to leave this cropped, I'm not a big crop top person but with this yarn being cotton, having a full length body along with the sleeves is going to have the neckline very stretched. There may be no helping it regardless but there's no harm in trying. I imagine if this is does become something I wear it'll either be in the dead of summer or layered over a button up/some sort of top anyway, so a crop wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Last but certainly not least is Shawl 14 (Pattern | Yarn). My precious Evenstar is coming along very well, I'm actually on the second to last pattern row before the set up for the border. I know the border is going to be a slog but I'm excited for it regardless, he's huge even all compressed on the needles. My self imposed deadline for him is April, but the border is only 56 repeats. If I can do one every other day I should be right on time, which sounds do-able even tho I know I'll get bored by the halfway point.

I need to keep an eye out for patterns for this yarn, I have a whole second cone plus what'll be left after I finish this shawl. These cones staring at me will probably be the push I need to settle on an Orenburg shawl pattern. (Or possibly a large Neibling, or one of MMario's patterns.)

#knitting #knitblr #lace rot #wip #wip wednesday #project: blanket 10 #project: shawl 14 #project: doily 14 #i haven't really touched shawl 15 so i didn't feel it necessary to include him (also it took me an hour to write up this much anyway)#i'm procrastinating from working on blanket 10 lmao it just makes me so eepy. heavy and warm blanket = nap time.#I gotta find something interesting to listen to while crochet it. I watched Astroid City with my dad and tried to work on it #but got so distracted by the visuals I made like 1 dc every other minute.#also my new cellphone camera is fucking awesome in comparison to my old one holy shit #it's like i just put my glasses on except they're not scratched up for once

I SAID I WAS GONNA POST DIOSTHE HEADCANONS SO HERE I AM HELLO anyways ive deduced most of this information via wiki-digging and trying to do research on the Epigonoi (which is unfortunately kinda hard bc its a lost epic! thats right. these guys were first featured in a story we only have like. the first five lines of.) and also the Seven Against Thebes (which i unfortunately have not read entirely) so perhaps not ALL of my personal headcanons are entirely accurate but that is why they are. headcanons. or maybe this is more of a little essay ab what i think their lives were like together. who knows!

It's heavily implied that Diomedes and Sthenelus have known each other at least since Diomedes was young - Sthenelus's exact age in the Epigonoi and the Iliad is never confirmed afaik, and we only have a rough outline of how old Diomedes was during this time. He's believed to be around 14-15 years old when the second Theban siege takes place (lil guy...) and it's stated in the Iliad that he's the youngest of the Achaean kings. He's likely only about 19 or 20 by the time the beginning of the Trojan war rolls around. This guy is baby but he's got a lot of battle experience under his belt.

I think it's pretty safe to say Sthenelus is older than Diomedes - he could be a little or a lot older - but i think Sthenelus is only 2-3 years older than Diomedes. They're close in age, they grew up together, suffered the loss of their fathers together, prepared for a war together. They are stated in many sources as being very close.

I think it's important to talk about their fathers, as it's a very important character beat for the both of them that they succeeded where their fathers failed, and thus they are better than them. So if you don't know about their deaths in the Seven Against Thebes, I'll summarize them here:

Tydeus (Dio's father) was a favorite of Athena. During the first attempt to take Thebes, he was mortally wounded by a guy named Melanippus. Athena was going to make Tydeus immortal - but Tydeus was convinced by Amphiaraus (another one of the Seven, a seer, who hated Tydeus) to eat Melanippus' brain. Athena was appalled by this and instead let Tydeus succumb to his wounds.

Capaneus, on the other hand, was struck down and killed by a lightning bolt thrown by Zeus while he attempted to scale the Theban wall, shouting that not even the gods could stop him. His wife Evadne, overcome with grief by the death of her husband, threw herself on his funeral pyre and died. (Going into more headcanon territory here,) Sthenelus watched as this unfolded, and obviously distraught he furiously grabbed for his mother's skirts, which caught fire and burned his hands.

Sthenelus was orphaned by this event, though he was likely raised by one of his uncles or one of the other older Epigonoi.

Athena (thoroughly disgusted by Tydeus' act of cannibalism) thought to try again with little Diomedes, who was only about 4 years old at the time - he would be a better warrior than his father ever was, and worthy of her gift of immortality eventually - she had big plans for him, and tried to raise him as her own. (Though admittedly, she was not a very good motherly figure at all, and was kind of terrible at this.)

Ultimately all but one of the Seven perished trying to take Thebes. The Epigonoi is the story of their sons who succeeded in taking the city, but the entire epic (except the first five lines) has been lost to time so we don't know exactly how it went. Diomedes and Sthenelus would've been teenagers at the time, and war isn't good for anyone, but it's especially bad for these little guys! They end up becoming very close to cope, they're the youngest Epigonoi, so they stick together. Diomedes appoints Sthenelus as his charioteer so they can be with each other during battle.

Sthenelus ends up developing a huge angsty crush on Diomedes during this time - Sthenelus fell first, and Diomedes fell harder (but not until many years later.) So for a long while Sthenelus is loudly pining and it's all going over Diomedes' head.

But fast forward a bit. The Second Theban War is over, and Diomedes and Sthenelus get married and ascend to the throne as soon as they get back. They rule the two halves of Argos together, and they make a good team, bringing wealth and stability to the city. Diomedes marries Aegialia. Sthenelus' wife is never given a name, but he has two sons with her. Which is quite the weird bit, because Aegialia ends up having an affair with one of Sthenelus' sons while they're off fighting the Trojan War (but I'll get to that.) Neither of them are very stoked about being married and Sthenelus has no idea how to be a father because he's like 17, and it doesn't really matter anyways because they go to battle again. and then again after that. for ten years. all they know is battle and being in survival mode but they have each other.

Until they don't. Diomedes goes off to catch Achilles with Odysseus, while Sthenelus stays in Argos to gather their men for the coming war. They do miss each other lots, but at least Diomedes has some companionship with Odysseus (even if Ody talks his ear off with stories about his wife and son.) They make a good team as Athena's little silly guys!!

Except Sthenelus hates Odysseus. He doesn't like that Diomedes has another best friend and that's really the only reason why, besides the fact that Sthenelus just kinda hates everyone who isn't Diomedes. Anyways Odysseus can totally see this jealousy and like the little shit he is, he's deadset determined to get Sthenelus to like him, because obviously the solution to any triangle such as this is polyamory. win!

(OdySthe is a totally different can of worms i'm not going to open in this post, but now i've put it in your brain.)

So the events of Iliad happen. Agamemnon tries to slander Diomedes and Sthenelus defends him like the hypeman boyfriend he is but Diomedes tells him to shut up. And then he gets yeeted off his own chariot by Athena. Diomedes proclaims that even if everyone leaves, he and Sthenelus will take Troy together. And all the while Sthenelus is pining for Diomedes and Diomedes doesn't really notice but is totally pining back (and Odysseus who actually has a somewhat healthy image of love and romance is like, these guys have GOT to kiss. for their health. but they wont.)

And they don't! Ten years of war go by and Sthenelus is convinced he's just going to pine forever, but it's fine, because it's enough just to be in Diomedes' company. They could never be together anyways. The Trojan War comes to an end and everyone goes their separate ways. Diomedes sails back to Argos with Sthenelus, but Aegialia and Sthenelus' son Cometes prevent them from entering the city.

Diomedes asks if Sthenelus will travel to Italy with him. They're weary from their journey, and can't enter their home, and with all the tension Diomedes isn't sure Sthenelus will say yes to him this time. They've been through so much - has he finally had enough?

But of course Sthenelus says yes, and this is the epiphany moment for Diomedes, that he's actually loved Sthenelus for so many years but just never realized it. And there's definitely a big love confession from both of them, and they definitely finally kiss (Odysseus would be so proud) but it's really short-lived bc they gotta get the fuck outta dodge.

They go to Italy. There's lots of different accounts as to what Diomedes does there (besides founding a bunch of cities) and in some cases he doesn't go to Italy at all, but it's generally accepted that he founded cities in Italy and never went to battle again. It's never mentioned that Sthenelus goes with him either, but I like to think they don't have to part ways. It's hard for them because all they've ever known is war, but they settle into peace together.

i am admittedly not very good at ending things but!! if you read my ramblings this far i applaud you. this post honestly could have gone on so much longer and it definitely will not be the last one i make about them lmao

#they honestly have so much potential as a pairing and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THEM so i will do it <3 #the slowest slow burn there ever was #like 15 years in the making purely because dio just does not have the brain space to think about a committed relationship #but its alright sthe can wait for him <3 #but anyways..... i post about odysthe when. i need you to see my rarepair #this post took me like two hours to write and i got all my sources in my tabs #diomedes #sthenelus #diosthe
