Odysseus is a dick but I love him and I don’t know how to stop loving him so I just roll with it. Him and Patroclus. Whereas I kind of almost hate Achilles. idek man
i read the odyssey last year and it’s just like YOU ASSHOLE HYPOCRITE SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP
yeah i have characters that i realize i would hate today but got used to them really young so i can’t ever hate them again it’s baaaad
i need to read the iliad but like i think my first encounter with achilles was when i watched troy when i was like 9. and there was that part about him seeking glory over a short life and SELF MADE GLORY AND STRIVING FOR GLORY AND GLORY BEFORE LIVING AND SELFISH GOLDEN GLORY AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYTHING ELSE. it’s a trope that has held to this day for me

and she doesn’t kill them ~for no reason~. she kills them to take the maximum possible vengeance on jason, because she’s one terrifyingly cold-hearted motherfucker. which is a character type of which i obviously approve, in fictional contexts :)
i know your vicious amoral tendencies and i share them
i mean like it’s FANTASTIC if you consider it from the angle that her kids are literally jason planting himself inside her and taking control of her body and taking the last vestige of her identity like he had taken everything else, and her killing her kids - as horrific as it is - is like her killing all remnants of him and retaining her body as her own, after she’s given everything
