*To Greek nationalist teacher of a history class with an exam next week*: I can’t believe Benito Mussolini had a Patroclus Menoitiades backstory. Really demonstrates the timelessness of Homer huh.

*to hot terminally online classmate with a hillternship*: Mussolini literally had a Red Scare arc that’s crazy haha. Couldn’t be me I go to therapy.

Reading a Spanish translation of Troilus and Cressida and I’m absolutely losing my shit that “Achilles’ brach” is translated as “el gozque de Aquiles”, gozque meaning dog but specifically like,, a little yappy dog. By far the best interpretation of that line I’ve come across.

When you’re mean to Patroclus this is who you’re being mean to:

Hopping back on here with a quick q for all my fellow dune fans-

I loved Dune and Dune Messiah, but I’m currently about halfway through Children of Dune and I’m finding it to be quite hard to follow and often a bit dull. Would it be worth it for me to read the rest of the series, or do you think that if I didn’t like CoD I won’t enjoy the other books either?

In other words- do you think of the last three Dune books as being more similar to the first two, or to CoD?

Tag yourself: batshit insane Troilus and Cressida criticism edition

Holy shit I can’t find the image now but how could I forget “he lacks the inches— and I am NOT referring solely to stature— to play Troilus”

Found it

Forgot about this one for a while. Think I must’ve blocked it out
