More The Song Of Achilles Fanart Because I Have Sold My Soul To This Book. A Little Angst For Y’all

reblog to send three ghosts after elon musk

“Name one hero who was happy”

“You can’t”

The most painful part of The Song of Achilles is that there would be no story if they didn’t die at the end.

Tragedies are popular because they remind us of inevidable misfortune. The fact I love a book that hurts me is the fucking point and boy do I loathe it sometimes.

Kili: Oh, How would I know?

Bilbo: How would you not?”

Kili: Who am I? Karl Landsteiner, discoverer of blood groups?

Bilbo: You don’t know your own blood type, but you know who discovered them?

Bilbo: Kili, you’re bleeding out! What’s your type?

Kili, deliriously: oh I don’t know, I like brunettes- 

Bilbo: your BLOOD TYPE

Feeling like I want to take down the sexist, homophobic and old members of the government. The rage of the 1899 news boys is flowing through me, convincing me to fight the old people telling me my opinions are invalid. Who’s with me?!

I just want to grab the fellowship and burrito wrap them in blankets and keep them safe and far away from giant flaming eyes. like they’re my baby's and don’t deserve all the trauma they got.

so I just finished watching Hawkeye. I should have finished it long ago, I know, but life got in the way.  I love it. OMG. It almost beats falcon and the winter soldier, and definitely beats loki and wandavision.

quick what’s ur opinion on tea. everyone who sees this is obligated to answer in some way

I just read The Song of Achilles and am dying. THEY DESERVED BETTER!!!
