sylvia plath, todd anderson and virginia woolf (aka ACTUAL tortured poets) watching taylor “im breaking up with my boyfriend for his intense depression and blaming it on him, im dating a racist who enjoys watching woc being brutalized and harasses young woc artists, i sent my fans out on a hate train to attack a young woc actress for a line she had to say as part of her job to show how mentally ill her character was, im dating a maga supporter, i refuse to say anything about a current genocide despite being the most influential person in the world right now, i am a billionaire, i fly 13 minute flights and have the highest carbon emission of any celebrity, i am a known white feminist who only speaks about issues when it affects me and has constantly let my fans get away with extreme racism and even encouraged it by associating myself with known racists” swift call herself a tortured poet (her writing sounds like a bunch of thesaurus words slapped over gabba hanna and rupi kaur-esque poetry that was created purely as a trinket for an edgy pinterest board)

i'd forgotten* how much historical analysis of Homer Thucydides does in the introduction to The Peloponnesian War - he's still not questioning that it's a true account of things that happened**, but he does question the romantic notions put forward by Homer -
if Agamemnon won, he says, it wasn't because of the oath sworn by the other suitors of Helen, it was because of his dominant regional power. he also tries to break down how much power Agamemnon could have over nearby islands based on Argos' current power and influence.
i don't have much of a larger point here, just that 1) it's interesting to see someone interrogating a foundational text of their culture this way (i would describe it as "tentative" and "restrained," perhaps because of fear of backlash from readers, but there's no real justification for that) 2) i'm glad to be reminded that people have been engaging in this kind of criticism of Homer for 2400 years 3) it's a good reminder of how great an extent of time*** is covered by the term "the ancient world" - Thucydides' analysis here is, in spirit, not all that different from a modern historical reading of Homer - we're both trying to glean understanding of a bygone culture from a text from whose full context we're removed by centuries.

Ch 372
All I can do at most is tell him verbally what he accomplished. And..."
Over the unveiled black stain, Kishiar silently pressed his lips. Yuder's fingertips shrank as if they were pricked by a knife, but the warmth that was pressed remained like a brand.
SO SUDDENLY??? KISSING HIS HAND? LIKE KNIGHTS DO TO THEIR LIEGE???? OH MY GOD. This is the first time I have seen the liege kissing their knight's hand. Idk about Yuder but the way my heart jumped, to see someone like Kishiar bowing their head and kissing your hand-
Yuder Aile did not have the right to hear such words.
But all those words could not come out as sound from his mouth. Yuder, frozen in place, cast his eyes downward, painfully feeling the many holes inside himself
WHY. I just wanted to see Yuder being flustered at the sudden display of affectionm Where did this uncalled angst come from. Why don't you have the right to hear such words???
Fuck words Yuder deserves all the best things in the world and more! Kishiar would happily shower him with everything he asked for and yet😭
