Guys I Was Scrolling Pintrest For Patroclus Stuff When I Saw A Quote From Song Of Achilles And It Almost

Guys I was scrolling pintrest for Patroclus stuff when I saw a quote from Song of Achilles and it almost made me cry- like I swear to god I’m not emotionally ready to read that-

Literally like if it wasn’t also because of how hard it is for me to get into reading 1st person books and how much I don’t want to sit there in school, burst into tears and then have my teacher walk up to me and be like,

“What’s wrong?”

“Sob T-they were so in love.. AND THEN THEY HAD TO DIE-“

Also reading the possible mischaracterization of characters that I love with all my heart and soul makes me too afraid to read it

(Please guys I beg of you all Thetis isn’t mean she loves her son to death- WAIT NO-)

But yeah. I guess that is an update, now that I have finished the Julius Caesar book. I am going to try reading TSOA.

ALSO I now that I’ve posted the bare bones draft I’ll probably just have the next update post be more of my notes for everything because my family is gonna go out and look at Christmas lights!

Okay! I’ll be honest, I haven’t taken the actual story itself into account for most of my uh just general thought process lol- more the basic traits were told lol-

But yeah, the Centurion system is actually something that we aren’t told like anything about which is kinda weird lol- and sadly Franks thing is a weird situation we can’t pull anything off of, sadly.

I don’t know what I’m trying to get at at the moment lol, I haven’t been awake for a long time today-

But it is an interesting concept to think about, and it does open up a lot of questions that can be asked that sadly weren’t expanded on in canon, and I think it shows somewhat on the distinction between what we’re told about Octavian, and what is presented for Octavian (if that made sense?)

But yeah, I uh, don’t really have any thoughts to like expand on your points, but the Octavian blackmailing I feel at least (I will note I have not read SoN in months and when I did read it I read it in one day so all of the info is like squished in my head) but the whole Octavian blackmail thing is shown blatantly, though it wasn’t really mentioned in the rest of the series(?) or like it wasn’t really expanded upon? Like we got one scene of Octavian blackmailing Hazel and then like from what I remember that was it.

But yeah, I haven’t really made any formative thoughts this entire time lol but yeah, Octavian really had somewhat conflicting between being described or implied to be a good orator and in text never being shown to be that great at it,

Again I haven’t read the books in a while lol- and I don’t know what I’m trying to get at anymore but like- yeah? There’s probably some actual thoughts here but I don’t know how to like format it outside the brain thoughts l

Okay but if Octavian couldn't see the future then how the hell did he gaslight gatekeep girlboss his way into being not only the camp augur but senior centurion of the best cohort because yes he's got money but money doesn't tell the future!!

extremely upsetting that the ancient romans didn't have zoom because i would pay serious denarii to see mark antony mute cicero's microphone while he's giving a speech

Another update on the map; I have a wild headache right now and my stomach feels a little funky but on a good note I have the map layout down for mostly everything; I at least know what camp relatively looks like, the uh actual amount of stuff there so that’s good :] I’m going to go make sure I am not dying, or about to puke. The map 1st draft halfway done and it’ll probably be out soon!

Have a good night everyone :]

*update I ate 1/25 of a wheat thin and am now shaking

I just got home no braincells left. After the wild time I’m not risking it.

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

I keep getting Magnus chase mixed up with Magnus archives

It’s terrible really

Okay it’s like 7 I am sleepy so goodnight probably
