How Wonderfully Wrongly

@tandemunicycle

Hi, my name’s Rose, he/him, adult

“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

Patroclus and Hector meeting up in Elysium

Hector: I would hope our crimes against each other in life and war would not sour our afterlife when we cross paths. Is this agreeable?

Patroclus: ... who are you?

Hector:... what- I. I mean. I killed you.

Patroclus: (long pause) OHHH yeah, you’re the bitch who got me after a god took off my armor. And another god stole my wits. And a random guy stabbed me in the back.

Hector: I mean-

Patroclus: yknow they would not shut up about how honorable and pious you were, but that was a real dick move.

Hector: We were at war! And you killed my brother!

Patroclus: you have like a 100 of those!

Hector: and you laughed when he died!

Patroclus: *snort* oh yeah. Idiot.

Man it’s cry about Patroclus hours again lads like. I’m just wondering. What was he like? What did he talk about when there was a moment of peace? What were the friendships he had like? Menelaus and Patroclus were so alike in character however Pat was much more the warrior from what I understand. Did Menelaus look up to him? Envy him? Automedon was the charioteer of Achilles but his friendship with Patroclus was much deeper. Did they bond over their shares skill in charioteering? A love of animals? An exasperation for aiding someone as prideful as Achilles? What about Antilochus, who was a dear companion of Achilles and who shared their tomb. Were they friends? What was it they saw in Achilles and loved so much? Who was Patroclus, a man so gentle in heart and so great a warrior. Who was he to the people he loved, not just Achilles.

i swear to christ if i get another pragerU ad i am going to rip a phonebook with my bare hands jesus CHRIST i am so sick of their pseudo intellectual ‘lectures’ that i genuinely fear will reach people and get them down the nationalism rabbit hole

You know what’s so so so so so funny to me? Everybody has this view of Achilles and Patroclus like Achilles is the unhinged feral asshole and Pat is the only thing holding him back from cutting the sleeves off of all of his shirts and idk learning how to kill people with laser vision but in The Iliad you know who consistently spares people who surrender and does his best to conduct himself with honor (before Patroclus dies)? Achilles. You know who killled 20 people within the span of ten minutes, laughed after killing a man because he fell funny, and spat blood in the face of Hector saying ‘you motherfuckers are nothing, I would’ve killed all of you if you hadn’t have two gods help take me down. I’ll see you in hell.’ PATROCLUS
