to lovers following eachother
// I can't break the code - Leonard Cohen // The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller// Strangers - The Kinks //"Wait for me ", Hadestown// I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab For Cutie // The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller //
You wanted to be the hero,
Wrapped around in glory and love,
You wanted to be the one to survive and be happy,
But you could not see far from your pride.
Achilles, my only love, you promised me forever, said you wouldn't die
Side by side we fought, as I promised to never leave you alone
As long as I was with you safe you said I'd be
If I only I have listened, if only I haven't take the shield of, everything would have been different, we'd live to tell the tails of yours
But my dearest would it be worth it all? In darkness our souls collided forming a bright light
You wanted to be talked about, so now they say stories about our love.
Written by me.
Name one hero who was happy.
I'm gonna be making a series of posts about my experience at the take my hand 5sos concert!
you are my son, my moon, and all my stars, e.e. cummings // the song of achilles, madeline miller // owl and pussycat, some years later, margaret atwood // the starry night, vincent van gogh // seven, taylor swift // @ashberrrry via tumblr // two men contemplating the moon, caspar david friedrich // red, white and royal blue, casey mcquiston // anyway, richard siken // end of the day, one direction
my only addition to the proliferation of pride flags is that honestly someone should just start making pride flags that are for the most part inoffensive but then like give the meanings of the stripes like absurdly controversial microcommunity discourse. like "here's my pride flag - the stripes represent all the different types of attraction in the split attraction model, the maroon represents that bisexuality represents being attracted to the two binary genders, the green stands for lesbian bed death, and the stars represent the amount of hypervisibility that trans women use to take up all the space and oppress afab trans people via invisibility and the labrys represents lesbians who are into men (cis men only, obviously). nothing it in represents gay men because they are not oppressed" creating perhaps the most hated object in the queer community and uniting us all
It’s never too late to be you
Digital illustration of an older Black fem. They are striking a pose with their hands framing their face. They have a green hair scarf, thick black frame glasses with a dangling chain and are wearing a oversized rainbow wrap sweater. There’s text that reads, ‘it’s never too late to come out.’
my body is, at most, a morbid curiosity 🐀
anyway. cherish your queer self. admire your beautiful queer face. gloat about your ever-growing queer vocabulary. find similarity in your differences with your peers and think of them in awe. make a queer smile today, and let them make you smile too. bask in your queerness. let queer joy unapologetically wash over you. even if just for a moment. heal.
“Achilles' eyes were bright in the firelight, his face drawn sharply by the flickering shadows. I would know it in dark or disguise, I told myself. I would know it even in madness.”
