Richard "Took a year of pre-med and still couldn't correctly identify his symptoms of pneumonia and hypothermia" Papen

I had to draw this handsome creature💔💔

donna tartt is really good at writing books that make you think “oh, these characters GOTTA have gay sex” only for you to find out that they’ve been having gay sex the WHOLE TIME and it certainly hasn’t helped

EPIC FANS GATHER ROUND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! witness my insane character designs and say NOTHING about my obvious lack of Greek mythology knowledge thank u

drew Ody unhinged cuz ya boi’s a bit off his rocker so to speak…

Don’t worry it’s ok I gave him his wifey:

(Last) Sunday supper 🐇

The future isn’t just 10 years away or 5 months, or even 1 week.

It’s the next hour, the next minute, your next breath.

Like a dog tugging at the hem of your pants.

I think that’s why we are all so tired.

Constantly reaching for something that’s already behind us.

In the bright spring sunshine adoring lovers recline against a white wall. A lonely stranger watches. Dusk enters the wisteria.

Yosano Akiko, River of Stars: Selected Poems of Yosano Akiko

hey so i Fully Believe that telemachus was not afraid of odysseus in Hold Them Down

people may have told him stories of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, Athena's chosen Champion, Hero of Troy

but mama's boy telemachus sat by her feet as she wove tapestry after tapestry; and penelope told her little wolf stories of his father

how they met, how he tripped over himself to woo her, how he cried his eyes out when penelope became pregnant, how telemachus wouldn't sleep in his cot as a baby because he was so used to being in his father's arms because odysseus would not put him down; and yes, how viciously he defended their family when the atrides came to retrieve him for the war

telemachus? the child of the Unhinged Power Couple? who knew very well how horrible those suitors were, how they treated him and spoke of his mother?

took one look at his dad viciously protecting their home, their family, and thought he was the coolest, strongest person ever (after mom ofc)

Rereading the secret history years after the first time reading it is sending me right through the loop.

What do you mean Richard was asleep the whole time and barely asked any questions?! What do you mean this man thought getting hypothermia was a better option than asking literally anyone for help? What do you MEAN he didn’t pick up on the fact that his whole friend group was sleeping with each other???!?
