Yeah I Totally Agree, It Is A Historical Fact That The Greeks Cared About Who Topped And Who Bottomed,

Yeah I totally agree, it is a historical fact that the Greeks cared about who topped and who bottomed, and even Plato thought that Achilles was the bottom. I also understand you’re reasoning, I just wanted to nitpick a book that I really love lol.

This is the second of the two things I didn’t necessarily like in Song of Achilles. With how Ancient Greece was, Achilles and Patroclus wouldn’t have been or had their reputation tarnished for being gay. Being gay WAS THE NORM. Because, to Ancient Greece, what was manlier than two men?

So, I don’t like how she put a more modern twist on it. I understand why, us gays don’t yet know what it is like to live with our partners without (for example) weird glances from onlookers. And it makes it more relatable. But, I wish I would’ve been able to project that hope onto this book. It’s similar to how The Song of Ice and Fire shows brutality towards women in a MADE UP WORLD. Like for once I want my fantasy, my books to show what the world could be.

Anyways, I’m just sad because sometimes I don’t like the modern lens of classical books and myths because it takes away some fire shit.

When I say I’m a homosexual, I mean I’m a gay who relates all my relationships to the dynamic of Achilles and Patroclus yearning for some sort of love as beautiful and tragic as theirs.

This is really specific but the guy who voiced Floch in the Attack On Titan dub should be the dub voice actor for Johnny Joestar whenever part7 gets animated. He just really sounds like how I think Johnny would sound, and he has the slightest “gay” lisp, which would make him sound more youthful, naive, etc. or whatever to the dudebros, but then give us lgbtq+ fans the bi/pan Johnny we deserve.
