(Here's some dialogue from Louisette's novel, because I won't write the whole book, I just wanted to give some hint about the story)
(Also this probably kinda felt too formal but eh)
"You and me, we were born to accompany each other, Lewis. And while your platonic companionship was enough for me, but I cannot deny it," Colin sighed, "I cannot deny the fact that I wished for our relationship to be.. more than friends, you know?"
Lewis took a deep breath. "I knew it from long before, I just– I just don't want to quickly make assumptions. I had romantic feelings towards you, but I'm afraid that if I act upon it, you.. you'll be disgusted, then you'll distance yourself from me, and we'll both lose our relationship.. our relationship that took years for us to establish.."
"Then we are both the same, Lewis. We were both too afraid to lose each other. I would not distance myself from you, in fact– I do not want to be separated from you."
"Really? Then, may I take your hand as my lover?"
"Yes."
Lewis held Colin's hand and kissed it softly.
"But, knowing how the public react to such relationships like us.. we'll have to keep this a secret."
"You can trust on me to keep this a secret, Colin. I'm also your confidant, after all."
"I know."
I hate when people don't know that Hector 100% knew exactly who he was killing when he killed Patroclus.
If there's no disclaimer about whose POV the story is, then it's Aloisia's.
Hhhh themmm <//3
(this is from Stanley Lombardo's translation of The Iliad, by the way)
Guys.
Y’all.
I…
I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.
Look. Okay.
There are two things you need to know, here.
First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).
Like this one, currently in the Met:
Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:
They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.
The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.
Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
I might not write about them, but I just drew a picture of Cosette and Lou! (Also, I'm thinking about making them lovers 👀)
Hi
So, uh, I'm not gonna post about Cosette, Louisette, or Aurelie for now because idk what to write. Sorry.
A little doodle of Achilles and Patroclus (◍•ᴗ•◍)
uhhhh tw for suicidal ideation ig
I wish somebody would talk to me first, or ask me about what happened instead of me being the one asking if I could talk about something, but the fact that I'm even writing this just reveals how much of a pathetic loser I am so I guess I'm better off dead
