People Who Have Read "the Song Of Achilles" Need To Read "the Silence Of The Girls" And Homer's Iliad,

People who have read "the song of Achilles" need to read "the silence of the girls" and Homer's Iliad, as in song of Achilles the story is told from Patroclus' perspective, someone who loved Achilles so he's incredibly biased and mainly focuses on how amazing Achilles was,

when actually he's the reason so many died during the trojan was because of his massive tantrum over Briseis (who would not have been like a close friend to them she would have just been a slave for Achilles to use)

Then again after Patroclus dies he commits horrific acts "in the name of love" but in Homer's Iliad the entire plot is off Achilles anger, it starts with his annoyance of being dishonoured and ends with his rage as his lover is killed because of his original anger.

school kills artist is a phrase I've seen a lot but never really related to

UNTIL

my stupid fucking gcse art makes me want to carve my eyes out and burn my hands off bro it's so bad

i love art, i love painting, i love creating

I DON'T love having deadlines, expectations and a stupid annoying ass teacher providing no help at all but telling me I need 5 more pieces or I'll fail

I highly recommend a clingy, lovey-dovey partner. Life’s too short to be with someone who acts like showing love is a chore

laying in bed at night knowing she doesn't miss me as much as i miss her

she doesn't cry every night, begging for it to end

she doesn't lash out at everyone around her because she's so upset and angry with the world

she isn't in therapy because we're not friends anymore

She doesn't want me back and she never will
